Seeing that monster wearing the exact face of my husband burned into my skin like magma. How dare they even suggest such a thing to me-to take him as a replacement for my husband.

The very first day I laid eyes on him, when the council brought him forward, I couldn’t breathe for

some time. His face was the same as my late husband’s.

But his scent wasn’t. Neither did I feel any pull toward him. He was like a downgraded version of

my mate, Julio.

He was lean, not as manly, and he didn’t walk like him. He behaved nothing like him, and from that

moment on, I hated him.

I hated that he wanted to take the place of my husband. I hated that I would have to play the

perfect wife to a dullard. I hated it all, so I told the council I wanted no part of it.

I wasn’t going to play that role. I didn’t really care about lying to the pack-what I cared about was

that he was not my husband, not my mate.

After that day, I didn’t see him again. Some months passed, then they came to me once more, saying that meant they would tell the pack my mate and I were no longer together since I refused

to let his twin replace him.

I didn’t want to hand over my title as Luna to another. At first, I hated the plan, but I couldn’t see myself playing his Luna either, so I agreed. He would only be in my son’s life, because I didn’t want Julian to know yet that he was fatherless. So I accepted their terms.

Helio-that was his name-would continue playing the role of Alpha and my son’s father until my

son came of age to rule, while I would be the ex-wife he cheated on with his mistress. Soon, they

would give him another woman to rule by his side.

The pack hated it for a while-that their Alpha was a cheat, tarnishing the name of my good

husband and mate, who never once thought of cheating on me. How I wished they knew he was

dead, and that the one playing Alpha was nothing but a stand-in with no true authority.

But when I saw him again after all that time, they had shaped him to be just like my husband-his

build, his dressing style, the way he walked. The only difference was the way he spoke.

My late mate, Julio, was extroverted. He spoke loudly and always had something to say. Helio was

different. He spoke like an introvert-calm, restrained-and barely said more than a word or two.

Even then, he was pretending to be someone he was not-to me, to my son, and to the entire pack.

That man had no Alpha authority; he was like any other wolf. No wonder the council pushed him around as they pleased.

And worst of all, my son-who believed he was his father-loved him dearly. Sometimes I think he

loves him more than me. Whenever he sees him, his face lights up with beautiful smiles as he runs

straight into his arms.

My Julio… I wonder if you were here, would things still be the same as they were before. Our family

together, ruling this pack the way we used to. Yet I am still upset with you, Julio. You never told me

you had a twin-one you kept hidden because your family didn’t want the world to know.

From what I gathered, as the eldest born, the council and the former Alpha didn’t want the title of

the Alpha fought for by his two sons. So they kept the younger one in the shadows, hidden from everyone. No one outside the council and the Alpha’s family knew of him-not even me, when I

married Julio.

Now I sit here, mateless, staring at your photo. At this moment, I am still the acting Luna, but I have

heard that soon Eleanor will take my place-the one the council has chosen for Helio.

The mating ceremony could take place at any time now. I even heard from one of my trusted people that it might be held tomorrow. It will be brief-just them marking each other, nothing more. The council will witness their union, and I will obviously be there too.

And on that day, I will hand over all my duties to Eleanor.

I bite down hard on my lip. I want to cry. That title-Luna-is mine, and now someone wants to take

it away, all because of that man, Helio.

Why didn’t he die instead of my husband? Why didn’t the Moon Goddess take him in Julio’s place, instead of leaving me trapped in this confusion?

I drop Julio’s photo onto the table and swallow. Now I’m beginning to have second thoughts. I

should have agreed to the council’s first option and played along as his wife. I should have

accepted that ultimatum.

But I didn’t.

Why do I regret it now, you might ask? First, I don’t want to give up my title. But second… the more I

see Helio, the more he begins to look like my husband. And with what happened today, I still can’t

quite place it.

Or maybe it’s just my imagination.

But this morning, when he commanded me, I obeyed-even when I didn’t want to. That thought is still eating me up. No, it has to be my imagination. There is no way he could awaken Alpha

authority within him.

The rightful Alpha was my husband. And the next in line is my son, Julian.

But still, I am so conflicted about what to do. I honestly don’t know anymore.
