The Luna He Left Behind

Asher and Sienna have been inseparable since childhood. The night before Asher leaves for Alpha training, they share one unforgettable moment, their first night together. He promises her that no matter what happens, when he returns, she will be his Luna, mate or not.

Years later, Sienna stands at the edge of the packhouse crowd, her heart pounding with hope and their young son balanced on her hip. The moment Asher steps out of the car, his scent hits her like a wave, he’s her mate.

Joy floods her chest… until he tenses, barely glancing her way. Without a word, Asher walks around the car and opens the door for a stunning, pregnant woman.

And just like that, Sienna’s world begins to unravel.

"I believed his promise. I carried his child... I waited for him, I was fateful to him and he came back with someone else. He broke his promise, but I won't let him break me."

Sienna’s Point of View

I am halfway through highlighting the same sentence for the third time when I hear a faint tap tap at my bedroom window. My hand freezes midair, and I frown. I pause the music playing and listen for the noise and sure enough I hear it again.

My heart skips slightly at the sound and I push my chair back before making my way to the window.

As I pull the curtain aside, a wide smile spreads across my face.

“Asher?”

I say, shaking my head as I slide the window open. The cool night air rushes in.

“I thought we already said goodbye this morning. Aren’t you supposed to be halfway to training by now?”

I ask, arching my brow at him. He smirks at me, that signature crooked grin that always make my stomach flutter.

“Technically yes, but I wanted to see you again and to give you something. A few more minutes won’t hurt.”

He says and holds out a small box towards me. My smile falters slightly as I take it.

“What is this?”

I ask, and he smiles.

"Just open it."

I carefully lift the lid, my breath catching in my throat, and tears instantly burn my eyes as I stare down at the delicate silver ring, elegant but simple, a single stone glinting softly under the moonlight.

“Ash…”

I whisper and he reaches out to me, gently tucking a strand of hair behind my ear before cupping my face in his warm palm.

He takes the ring out of the box before pulling something out of his shirt. I see a ring on a chain and he holds both of them next to each other. A lump forms in my throat when I see it our initials with a heart in between.

"This is mine. I had them made to match. This is my promise to you, Sienna. A promise that I will come back. And when I do... you will be my Luna. Mate or not. I don't care what fate
