“Aria,” he said softly. “Today is your birthday.”It wasn't a question, but I nodded nevertheless.“The moon is full tonight,” he added, his voice quiet. “You will attend the ceremony.”“Of course, Elder,” I replied, puzzled. All eighteen-year-olds attended the ceremony. It was essential.He leaned in, smelling gently. “You already feel it, don't you? ”The change.My heartbeat skipped. “What change?”Elder Malin's eyes narrowed. Interesting. “Very interesting.” He reached inside his pocket and retrieved a little pouch. “Wear this tonight.”I accepted it hesitantly. Inside was a simple moonstone pendant with a leather cord.“But this is for—”“Wear it,” he interjected. “Hide it under your clothes if you must, but wear it.”Moonstones were precious. They aided our connection to the Moon Goddess during ceremonies. However, they were only given to wolves from influential families (Alphas and Betas). Not Omegas like me.“Why?” I questioned.Elder Malin glanced at Mira before returning his attention to me. “Because someone is harboring secrets about you, child. And tonight, those secrets may be revealed.”I never mattered in our pack. Omegas like me serve, submit, and survive. We don't dream of love. We don't dream of power.She was the future Luna. I was just the girl who watched from the shadows.But everything changed on my 18th birthday.I felt the bond. I met my mate.One of the Alpha's sons.But the Alpha has triplets, and I felt the mate bond with all three and it seems the three of them felt it too — three perfect warriors, three powerful Alphas, three secrets buried beneath the surface.One of them is my destiny.One of them is lying.And one of them might be the death of me.The Moon Goddess doesn't make mistakes... but this time, I think she might've given me too much to handle.

There was a big news in City A recently. The daughter raised by Haomen Lu’s family for eighteen years was not his own.

The real daughter returned to her place, and the fake daughter was sent back.

From a white swan to an ugly duckling, everyone is waiting to see Lu Ning’s jokes.

Want to see how she, a little princess who has been pampered for eighteen years, will live after leaving the rich family?

Lu Ning was not afraid at all.

Isn’t it poor? Just make money.

However, before she led the whole family to make a fortune, the whole family took her to play counting money at home.

The eldest brother of a certain industry giant dumped several companies to her: “It’s all yours. If you want to have it, there are all catering, entertainment, clothing, and playgrounds.”

The second brother of the top superstar: “Ning Ning, do you want to participate in the draft, I will write you a letter of recommendation.”

Even the youngest brother is a computer expert: “Sister, the person who hacked you will never even think about surfing the Internet in this life.”

Lu Ning: …Didn’t it mean that they are generally poor and useless?

Mother: “Xiao Ning, if you don’t like this gold, Mom will get you some diamonds, so that every piece of your clothes will be studded with diamonds, okay? Just wait, Mom will get you some diamonds!”

Father: “Xiao Ning, isn’t it exciting to use the black card? Dad will get you one with a limit, 50 million is much less?”

Lu Ning:? ? ? Didn’t you say that you can’t pay off the mortgage?

Lu Ning said that there is no room for her to play at all, so be quiet and be a salted fish.

but……

A mysterious organization: “Come and be our boss!”

Dean of a research institute: “Come be my successor!”

Lu Ning: … Is it over? ! I just want to be a salted fish!

The top wealthy Mr. Huo rushed over: “Baby! Come to my pot!”
