The Rejected Luna’s Secret Chapter 10

The Rejected Luna’s Secret Chapter 10

Joshua’s fingers stiffened.

He trembled as he took the report.

And the moment he saw the words “not consistent with paternity,” his entire body seemed to lose all strength.

A bitter smile tugged at his lips.

He kept smiling, and through the smile, tears slipped down his face.

“So… it really is not… Allison, you truly do not love me anymore.”

At that moment, several pack enforcers entered the studio.

“Alpha Joshua, regarding the incident of taking a minor without permission, we need you to cooperate with the investigation.”

Joshua looked at me. Eventually, he nodded and followed them out.

The studio soon returned to order. Even though my identity had been revealed, the episode still wrapped up smoothly.

Because of the incident, Luminous Melody’s ratings skyrocketed to number one.

That night, hashtags like “the fullmoon pack’s Luna” and “violin prodigy Lady A” dominated the werewolf social platform’s trending list.

Every post was speaking up for me.

Sarah, once the celebrated “violin prodigy,” instantly became a disgrace, chased out of every discussion.

When I got home, I looked up at Adam. “You planned this from the start, didn’t you?”

“You let the production team bring Sarah in as a judge just to make things right for me?”

Adam gently tapped my nose with a playful smile. “Nothing gets past you.”

“She owed you, and I wanted her to repay it piece by piece.”

Warmth spread through my chest. I rose on my toes and kissed him lightly. A few days later, news came from the bloodmoon pack.

Several elders opposed Joshua continuing as Alpha and voted Adam in as the new leader. Adam handled things swiftly.

Within a week, he removed Joshua from the pack. One day, I was in the classroom teaching Hailey how to play the violin.

Her small fingers danced across the strings, filling the room with crisp notes.

“Mommy, is this right?” Hailey tilted her head and asked.

“Perfect.” I gently ruffled her hair. “Try again, and watch your pressure.”

Just then, I caught a familiar figure standing quietly by the door. It was Joshua.

He stood there, watching me and Hailey without saying a word. I did not respond.

I simply continued teaching my daughter until he eventually turned

and left. I thought that would be the last time I saw him.

But the next day, the pack enforcer called.

“Luna Allison, we found a male body in front of your mother’s tombstone.”

“We need you to come identify it.”

A chill went through me. When I arrived, the corpse had already been covered with a white sheet.

I lifted the cloth and saw Joshua’s pale face.

His hands were gripping two things. In his left hand was a confession letter.

He had written down, in detail, how he killed Sarah. Her body, according to the letter, was still inside their home.

In his right hand was a necklace.

I recognized it. It was the first gift he had ever given me.

“Allison, do you want to handle the funeral arrangements?” the enforcer asked softly.

“No.” I shook my head. “I do not know him. Do whatever you need to.”

He paused, then nodded. “Understood.”

They carried Joshua away. I turned toward my mother’s grave, knelt down, and gently wiped the dust from the tombstone.

“Mom,” I whispered. “I am happy now.”

“I have a mate who loves me, and a wonderful daughter.”

“I reclaimed my dream, and I received the justice I deserved. Mom, you can rest peacefully.”

The autumn wind swept through, carrying the falling leaves across the ground.

I stood up and looked at my mother’s photo on the stone.

A smile touched my lips. The pain of the past had finally settled into dust.

I walked away from the pack cemetery.

In the distance, Adam stood next to the car with Hailey’s hand in his.

The moment she saw me, Hailey broke free and ran straight toward me.

“Mommy!”

I opened my arms and pulled her tightly into my embrace. Adam walked over and wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

“Let’s go home,” he said softly.

I nodded and followed them toward the future that belonged to us.

The autumn leaves swirled around us, and at long last, my life stepped into spring.
