Chapter 1

It was well past nine o’clock at night when Nora returned to Silvermoon Pack

The cottage stood in darkness, its windows unlit, and no one waited to greet her at the door.

“Dear Nora, Happy Birthday. Your birth was a gift to the world.”

A message flashed on her phone–a simple birthday wish from a friend.

It was warm but impersonal, a reminder of the absence that loomed heavier than the night.

Standing alone in the shadowed villa, Nora scrolled through her chat app.

Message after message appeared–greetings from acquaintances, colleagues, and distant friends.

Yet, the one name she longed to see remained silent.

Seven days.

It had been seven days since she last exchanged a message with her husband, Alpha Arnold.

Seven days of unanswered texts and unreturned calls.

And now, on her birthday, his silence cut even deeper.

Nora’s forced smile faltered in the dark

“Luna? What are you doing back here?”

The sudden flicker of light startled her.

The omega maid stood at the entrance, her eyes wide with surprise.

“Where are Arnold and Alex?” Nora asked, slipping off her shoes.

The maid hesitated, her voice tinged with unease. “Alpha isn’t back yet, and the young master is..”

She paused before continuing vaguely, “Writing something in his room.”

Nora handed the maid her bags and strode toward her son’s room.

She pushed open the door and found Alex, her ever–active five–year–old, sitting at his desk.

He was bent over a notebook, completely absorbed in his work.

Alex is five years old and has the physique and keen senses of an Alpha heir.

His golden hair gleamed under the desk lamp, and a faint glow from the golden wolf’s head symbol on his neck–the mark of his lineage…reminded Nora of the legacy he carried.

He sensed her presence instantly, his head tilting slightly toward the door.

“Alex, I’m home…”

Nora smiled and stepped inside, but before she could finish her greeting. Alex turned away sharply, his eyes returning to the pages in front of him.

He kept writing, completely ignoring her.

Nora’s heart sank as she approached. Resting a gentle hand on his shoulder, she glanced down at the notebook filled with scribbles and diagrams.

“Do you want to go somewhere?” she asked softly. “I just finished my tour of the pack, so we can plan. something fun together.”

Alex didn’t look up. Instead, he snapped, “I don’t want you to come.”
