The Alpha's Discarded Luna: From Withered to Claimed

She was the perfect trophy wife... until she wasn't. Luna gave EVERYTHING to her Alpha husband Victor - her loyalty, her body, her very soul. She handled his estate, bore his cruelty, and watched him take credit for HER work while she withered away like a forgotten flower. But when she catches him in THEIR bed with her own sister? That's when the real Luna awakens. "He will kill you, Victor." Those five words change everything. Because the savage wolf Luna threatens him with? She knows he will even kill her along with the entire estate, which he will soon burn to ashes. He was an untamed, savage beast. Javrian - the beast every Alpha fears, the shadow that haunts the borderlands - arrives with silver eyes blazing and one mission: Claim what's his...burn down what he don't claim. But Luna has been broken too many times that she feared or cared about approaching beast. And why does she care either way, especially after being fed an aphrodisiac at the last moment by her sister, offered as bait to savage wolves—the wave that the Wolf Barbarian Javrian was bringing with him. Being already devoid of soul—which died long ago—and a heating body preparing to receive her last pain, she braced herself to be stripped of her last dignity after being betrayed by everyone. > So why does this terrifying beast cover her with his cloak instead of claiming her body? > Why does he kill her tormentors but treat her like precious treasure? And why do her dead heart start beating again when he declares: "You are mine, Luna"? From withered wife to claimed queen One savage Alpha who sees her true worth Revenge served ice-cold A Luna who learns to bloom again Some flowers need blood to grow. And Luna? She's about to become the most beautiful, dangerous bloom in the entire kingdom. Will the discarded trophy wife embrace her savage protector? Or will her broken heart remain too withered to love?

Now, armed with Eric's unexpected devotion and his willingness to lay down his life for her, Delia meticulously begins to dismantle her family's world. With Eric's help, she exposes the secrets they hide, manipulates their desires, and turns them against each other, orchestrating George’s demotion, Anne's downfall and seizing everything her sister coveted, including Duke Eric love and obsession.

Delia’s voice trembled. “It’s not the same.” She choked out. “ No one can love me without hurting me.” “Then teach me,” he said, his breath warm on her cheek. “Teach me how to love you the way you deserve to be loved. I’m a quick study.” When she stayed silent, he sighed contentedly, a soft smile playing on his lips. “It’s alright. Just… use me. Anything you need. if you want money, ask the treasury, take as much money that’s needed. if you want power, use my name. if you want security and love, use my body.” His breath warmed her skin, his chest rose and fell with hers. "As long as it's from you, I'm happy."
