Chapter 1 The Hero’s Return: My Alpha
"Luna! Luna! We've just received a report from the frontlines—the war is over!!!"
Gamma Levi's heavy footsteps rang through the hallway as he hurried toward the Luna's office, where Addison was buried in the grain production report from their farm. Her Gamma's excited voice echoed from down the hall, even before he reached the door.
Her hand trembled, and her heart seemed to stop in an instant as the news sank in.
'The war is over?'
At that moment, a face flashed across her mind, causing her heart to skip a beat as a wave of happiness and disbelief washed over her. She sprang up from her chair, the heavy wooden seat crashing to the floor with a resounding thud behind her. Yet all she could hear was a ringing in her ears, her Gamma's words echoing in her thoughts.
A wide, unguarded smile spread across her face—one that hadn't appeared in months, revealing a youthful gleam beneath her tired, gaunt face. Though still in her early twenties, the trials of war had aged her beyond her years, making her look much older than she actually was.
"Is it true?!" Addison's face lit up with an excited, warm smile as she eagerly awaited her Gamma to reach her, holding a sealed letter—one that had come from the frontlines via their messenger birds.
Gamma Levi didn't speak. Instead, he handed the letter to Addison, allowing her to read the news herself. His eyes softened as he watched her—the woman he had worked with this entire three years to keep the pack afloat while their Alpha and most of their warriors were fighting in the frontlines.
Although it sounded glamorous to hear that Luna Addison became the rock of their pack, in reality, none of the pack members actually respected her.
After all, aside from her managerial skills, her wolf is weak; she can't even shift into her wolf form and is labeled as an omega. However, her status is actually lower than an omega since she can't even shift, which nearly makes her wolfless.
And what's worse is that their Alpha leaves immediately after the marking ceremony is completed; he didn't even stay to mate with her, which only shows how much he detested her.
