Chapter 1
Sometimes, I wonder why the most powerful Alpha of all wants me.
Why didn’t he choose my sister—strong, healthy, beautiful?
Maybe he doesn’t know what awaits him either.
Maybe it’s just an agreement. A name. A duty for him.
From the rumors I’ve heard, he’s a man without a mate, an Alpha without a Luna—and something inside me tells me he doesn’t want me as his Luna. The council is pressuring him to marry and have children, and what could be more convenient than someone who will die in his arms at his first touch?
"Wait... you want me to marry the Alpha?" I asked, feeling my legs tremble when I first heard the news. They said I had a mate but never revealed many details.
When I was sixteen, I overheard something about it, but I never imagined it could be the Alpha. I had hoped it would be the man from back then, but now I was completely disillusioned.
I had thought it would be something more complex—that I would have to recognize my mate, and he, me. How could they choose someone like that for me? I don’t even know him.
I never judged Lana for being infatuated with this Alpha, but… what does that have to do with me? They say he’s hundreds of years old!
"Don’t worry, Samuel Kan is an intelligent and handsome man," said my mother, her voice uncertain as she avoided my gaze. That only made me more suspicious.
"Mother… did you offer me to him? I’ve never even seen this man before," I asked, my throat tight.
"We would never do that!" she protested, but something in her tone made me doubt her.
My father tried to intervene.
"But… suddenly, Samuel Kan took an interest in one of you. We thought it was Lana, but for some reason, he said it’s you."
"Are you sure it’s not my sister Lana? Does he even know who I am? That we’re twins?" I asked, clinging to a small hope.
"It’s not your sister. He doesn’t know you’re twins, but the details he gave can’t be mistaken. If we send Lana, he’ll obviously notice," said my mother coldly.
"He was very clear. Besides, he saw you clearly that day..." My father began to say something, but my mother cut him off with a sharp look.
