Chapter 1
Lc looked so beautiful this morning, as she stood next to Luna Jasmine and Alpha James at the
entrance gates of the Golden w pack.
Behind them, there were a lot of people, waiting for their own family members, who had joined the war
against the lycans, to return.
“I can see them.” Luna Jasmine gasped as she held Lc’s hand so tightly. Her eyes were filled with
tears of happiness, so were Lc’s. Her face was a mixture of nerves and anticipation.
She couldn’t wait to see her mate.
That was right. She was Aidan’s destined mate. The main character of today’s event and the next in
line for the Alpha of this pack.
“Yes, I can see them too, mother, Lc replied, she squeezed Luna Jasmine’s hand tightly. They held
onto each other for support, as the relief and happiness flooded their beings.
Lc was an orphan, thus when Luna Jasmine told her to call her mother, that was the best moment in
her life. It came just second to the moment she met Aidan for the first time and both of them realized
they were each other’s mates.
“There! It’s Aidan!” Lc pointed her finger at the crowd that moved closer to them steadily. The bright
sunlight behind them acted as their background, creating long shadows in front of them. Aidan was
leading around a thousand warriors behind him.
If Lc could, she would have rushed toward Aiden and hugged him tightly. Being apart for a year was
a -long time for newly found mates, because Aiden went to the battlefield just two weeks after they met
with
each other.
After that, only by letters were they able to continue theirmunication. It was hard, but they made it
in the end, or so Lc thought.
However, she couldn’t do something out of impulse, since there were so many people around and she
was the future luna of the pack, so she needed to watch her behavior carefully.
When the long entourage came closer and Aiden dismounted his horse, he went straight to his father to
report that he hadpleted his duty.
“I am so proud of you.” Alpha James said, as he hugged his son and the crowd cheered for them
loudly, not long after which they weed their family members.
“Mother,” Aiden called for his mother and Luna Jasmine went to hug her son tightly. She teared up and
kept saying how much she missed him and how d she was to see him again.
Meanwhile, Lc was very nervous to wait for her turn, she felt so overwhelmed with the realization that
she didn’t need to wait for him anymore, or his letters, because now, he was already here. Her mate.
They would spend the rest of their lives together, or so she thought.
And when it was Lc’s turn, she went to him with open arms, ready to hug her mate, but Aiden took a
step back to avoid her and averted his gaze.
Lc froze in her ce to see his reaction, her arms dropped to the sides of her b*dy and it took

everything in her not to cry when Aiden only nodded at her casually, as if he was trying to not
acknowledge her existence, which made Lc’s heart sink.
Why was he so cold and distant now that they finally met again?
“I- I am so happy to see you, Lc said in a small voice, she felt embarrassed, as she took a step back
to stand beside Luna Jasmine again, because she didn’t want them to see how upset she was and
think she was trying to get attention when she did not receive the same much deserving passionate
hug from her own
mate.
“I am happy to be back.” Aiden said in a terse tone, but his eyes dimmed slightly when he looked at
Lc for a brief second. There was pain and difort in the way he looked at her, before he turned
around and took a woman’s hand, who apparently had been standing behind him, not too far from them
The woman had long red hair that cascaded down her back and blue eyes, she looked so beautiful and
attractive.

Lc didn’t notice her until now, because her focus was on Aiden alone. And when he actually brought
beautiful woman to their attention, her gut finally realized something was wrong with this whole
situation.
Her heart sk i p p e d a beat when she watched how Aiden tightened his grip on that woman, as they
intertwined their fingers together.
“Father, mother, this is the woman I mentioned in the letter,” Aiden said. He still refused to look in
Lc’s direction. He tried to pretend his mate was invisible, but it was quite clear to see how
ufortable he was with Lc’s presence there.
Woman?
Lc tried to remember where had Aiden ever mentioned this woman in their letters, but she couldn’t
recall anything as such.
“Who is she?” The question sl*pped Lc’s l*ps even before she could process it and Luna Jasmine
immediately grabbed her hand and smiled sadly at her.
“Let’s go back to the pack house first and talk about thister, okay? Aiden must be very tired,” Luna
Jasmine said softly to her in her motherly tone, which rendered Lc unable to have any other choice,
but
to agree.
Before they left, Lc nced over her shoulder and saw Aiden lowering his head in shame under his
father’s hard gaze. Alpha James looked so angry, his proud expression had long vanished.
“What is going on?” Lc asked Luna Jasmine. They seemed to be hiding something from her and she
couldn’t understand why Aiden was holding another woman’s hand while refusing to recognize herself.
“Mother, who is that woman?”
Luna Jasmine shook her head, as she took Lc back to the pack house, where they intended to throw
a wee party for all the warriors who managed to return safely after a long war and tomorrow, they
would have a funeral to bury the dead.
“We will talk about thister.” Luna Jasmine kept repeating the same thing
