A Luna’s Escape from a Hollow Mate after Forty Years

Summary

One week before our 40th Moon-Bond Anniversary, I found a moonstone ring hidden inside Alistair’s private study chest. The silver band was carved with runes that glowed faintly under the moonlight:

To my eternal mate, on our 40th moon bond.

My heart leapt with joy.

I truly believed the Alpha Alistair Molthaven of the Frostfang Territory was finally going to surprise me.

But three days later, the Moon Healers delivered my fate.

Mid-stage blood curse.

A sickness that slowly ate away a werewolf’s core.
