My Daughter Died Because of My Cheating Mate

As Luna of the Blood Rose Pack, I trusted my mate, Alpha Orion, to protect our family. But that trust shattered the night he abandoned me and our daughter, Lyra, at the border, claiming urgent business. Left with only a few wolf warriors, we ventured into the darkness, unaware of the nightmare awaiting us.

Chaos erupted as we reached the border—bloodshed, wolves battling fiercely. In the ensuing chaos, I was torn from Lyra’s side. Helplessly, I watched as attackers closed in on my innocent child. Her screams pierced the night, calling my name, begging for help. My heart broke as her life was brutally taken before my eyes.

Cradling her lifeless body under the cold moonlight, I wept, questioning the Goddess and the cruel fate that had befallen us. The prophecy foretold my torment, but nothing could prepare me for this living hell.

While I mourned my precious Lyra, Alpha Orion held Lilith in his arms, consoling her over a dead pet. He had chosen her, and in doing so, he had killed our daughter. “You never cared about us, did you?”

"When the Moonlight Wolf awakens, draped in silver and shadow, her heart will tremble with destiny's weight. In that fateful heartbeat, she will be seduced by darkness, her soul slipping into the abyss. Her final breath will be a gift to the world, a sacrifice that rekindles light and restores harmony to a fractured realm."

The curse was whispered one fateful night exactly in the full moon of my birth month, and as someone who was in the lineage of the rarest wolf kind, the Moonlight wolves, I received the prophecy like all others. However, everyone in the pack I grew up in didn't like what they heard, even me.

I was scared. It never occurred to me that I would be a full Moonlight Wolf, and I would have its full power, not just half, but full of it. But it had a consequence. The prophecy said that I might succumb to evil.

I became an outcast, and an eyesore to the pack because of the prophecy about me, but that too, was all in the distant past.

Now, years later, I met my mate, the Alpha of Blood Rose Pack. I was the representative of our pack together with my daughter, Lyra, at a banquet. It was in another town, and it just ended hours ago.

I caressed the hair of my daughter while humming a lullaby. Outside, the trees were swaying, and the clouds were overlapping the moonlight.

My mate said he would meet us on the town's border to ensure that we would be safe on our way back, so I was relieved. Not until I felt the sensation of our mind link.

"I don't think I can fetch you and Lyra. I have something urgent to do. You'll head home safe for sure, since some of the warriors of the pack are with you."

He never answered my mind link after that. He even ignored my calls when I picked up my phone. I felt helpless, and for some reason, my hands were turning cold.

In recent weeks, I heard a lot of crimes around the area, especially at the border. There had been deaths, and the news said that rogues were going around a lot these days.

Not only that, I am the Luna! And I am with Lyra, the Alpha's heir. We were always an eyesore to the eyes of the enemies of the Blood Rose Pack.

We drove in silence, the black SUV gliding smoothly along the road as the dense forest pressed in from either side. My daughter Lyra sat beside me, her small hand gripping mine. Two other cars, filled with our wolf warriors, flanked us. As we crossed the town's border, a chill ran down my spine—a premonition that something terrible was about to happen.

The road ahead narrowed, and suddenly, the tranquil night exploded into chaos. Tires screeched, and masked figures surged from the trees, brandishing silver-tipped weapons. My heart pounded in my chest. We were under attack. Hunters. And worse, they were werewolves.

Our warriors reacted instantly. The car doors flew open, and strong hands pulled Lyra and me from the vehicle.

The night was filled with the clash of metal and the guttural growls of shifting wolves. Fear clawed at my throat as I clutched Lyra close, my heart hammering in terror.

"Stay close to me, Lyra! Don't let go!" I shouted, trying to keep the panic from my voice.

In the chaos, several warriors grabbed Lyra, pulling her away to protect her. I was separated from her, surrounded by my guards, who fought with ferocity to keep the hunters at bay.

No... No! I was separated from my daughter!

"Luna, we need to get you to safety! They are from the rival pack!" One of my warriors shouted over the cacophony, his eyes wide with urgency.

"No! My daughter! I need to get to her!" I screamed, my eyes darting frantically toward where Lyra was being shielded. My heart lurched as I saw the warriors around her being overwhelmed. One by one, they fell, their bodies hitting the ground with sickening thuds.

"We can't save her anymore!" One of the warriors cried; desperation in his voice. "We're outnumbered and overpowered!"

"Luna, you have to run! We can't hold them off much longer!" Another warrior pleaded, his grip tightening on my arm as I struggled against him.

"No! Let me go! I have to save her!" I cried, desperation driving me to fight against their restraining hands.

Blood splattered across the ground, and the air was thick with the sounds of battle. My heart raced as I watched the last of our warriors fall.

Lyra stood alone, surrounded by five massive wolves, her eyes wide with terror, tears streaming down her face.

"Mommy! Help me!" Her voice was a terrified wail that shattered my soul.

"Lyra! No! I'm coming!" I sobbed, pushing against the warriors holding me back. But they were so strong that I could feel my arms burning.

No... This can't be. My daughter was just a few meters away, surrounded by hunters! I know their duty was to protect me, even at the cost of their lives, but what about my daughter? The warriors who were trying to keep her safe were already killed!

My heart broke as I watched the hunters lunge at Lyra, their fangs bared.

In an instant, it was over. Lyra's lifeless body crumpled to the ground, her innocent eyes still open in shock.

"No! Lyra! My baby!"
