After leaving the sacred grove, I did not even dare meet Laila’s eyes again. Her gaze had been as cold as a blade.
I did not like a single word she said, but she had not said anything wrong.
I had been desperate to earn military merit.
After the battle at Lovanfall Battlefield, I believed I had achieved first–class merit, the greatest of all. I was no longer an ordinary soldier. I had become General Duffy.
On the surface, I looked down on everyone and acted as if I stood above them all.
But only I knew the truth. Deep inside, I still felt inferior.
I was ashamed of being born in a small fishing village.
Otherwise, with the achievements I had earned back then, I could have easily chosen an unmarried alpha and become his only Luna.
The reason I had been willing to become Holt’s second Luna was partly because I loved him. The other reason was because I knew that if I had not gained those military achievements, I would never have been worthy of Ironclaw Pack. Even though Ironclaw Pack had already declined.
Back then, I had believed that Holt loved me too.
I had deliberately told him that I longed for peace, that I wanted the war to end so every child could grow up safely. I said that was why I joined the army and fought so desperately.
Those words were meant for Holt. And Holt believed them. When he looked at me, his eyes were filled with admiration.
Later, on the battlefield, I seduced him while tending to his wounds. I tied his heart to me with my body.
As for Laila, at that time I had never taken her seriously. After all, an omega female like her could not help Holt in any meaningful way. Even in bed, an omega’s stamina would never compare to mine.
So even if Laila had truly agreed to the three of us sharing him, I had been confident that I

could eventually drive her away. Or make her stand there watching helplessly and enviously as Holt slept only with me.
She would not be able to endure it. She would leave on her own. And I would naturally become Holt’s only Luna. That had been how the story was supposed to end.
But I had never expected that Laila was not a harmless little cat. She had been a patient, lurking alpha wolf.
She destroyed everything I had planned.
“Stop hesitating. Make a deal with me. I can help you defeat her.”
That tempting voice sounded again in my mind.
I felt even more irritated.
After being tortured by Silas and the others, another soul had taken residence inside my body.
I did not know who he was. I did not know whether he was male or female, though the voice sounded like a man.
I did not even know how he had entered my body.
But I could not drive him out.
Fortunately, he had not done anything harmful to me. He had not tried to take control of my body. Instead, he had even helped share some of the pain caused by the Moon Goddess Sacrificial Mark.
Otherwise, I probably would have gone insane long ago.
But I knew very well that nothing in this world came for free. If I made a deal with him, the outcome would never be good.
“I’ll think about it a little longer.”
I did not completely reject him.
I was afraid that if he saw no hope, he would leave my body. I needed him to stay and help me bear the pain of the full moon nights.

My fingernails had dug deep into my palm, and blood had seeped out. But it quickly healed under the strong regenerative ability of an alpha.
Nita flicked her tail inside my consciousness. “You really aren’t planning to kill her?”
“Of course not. When the time is right, I’ll make my move,” I replied.
“When will that be?”
“I don’t know…”
At the very least, I needed to find a way to shorten the Moon Goddess protection period first.
I also wondered what Aerith had been busy with lately. Why had she not replied to my letter or sent the book yet?
