Chapter 1

Elena's POV

I looked around my room with a sense of warmth slowly creeping into my cold heart. In this very same room last year, I was left alone by my husband on our wedding night, feeling cold and alone.

Instead of the cuddles and kisses I was expecting, I received hurried words of goodbye from him, for the King called him to fight in a battle against the Rogues.

And for the year that came, I was in charge of all the pack issues as I awaited for his comeback.

Standing in front of the empty halls, I stared at the picture of the only family I had left, my husband, the Alpha of Swiftridge Pack - Bryson Renner.

Yes, the only family I had...

Years ago, my father and six brothers died in an unfortunate attack from the Rogues alongside most of our pack's significant members. With their absence, my in-laws treated me well. So, when my father-in-law was injured in a war, I didn't think twice about using every means I had to help the new family I had, the Swiftridge Pack.

Though no one asked, I worked to be the best Luna they needed. I would even use my own inheritance to improve the living of their packs and ensure that Bryson's mother, Courtney, who was sick, was well taken care of. I've looked around for the best doctor to check on her and brought every medicine she needed, no matter what the cost.

Although I've been a full-time housewife who's very different from the warrior I've been brought up to be, I'm still looking forward to my bright future after reuniting with my Alpha husband.

I smiled as I admired his photo on the wall. He's a great warrior on the battlefield, but when he was with me, he was nothing but sweet and gentlemanly.

Due to my mother's last wish, I turned my back from being a warrior and heeded her wishes for me to get married, have children, and lead a peaceful life.

And on her last day in the hospital, Bryson came to her bedside and vowed to her that he'd treat me well for the rest of his life.

Now, the war had ended, and he won another battle that brought glory to the kingdom. Joyful of his return, I held a grand celebratory event to welcome him back.

I was wearing a beautiful midnight blue gown with sparkles on its hem, and I did my makeup and hair. I prepared so well for this, but as I walked toward the hall where the celebration was being held, my in-laws couldn't even look at me, and the other elders and high-ranking members stared at me with sympathy.
