Chapter: THE HUNT FOR MY MATELUCIAN The door creaked open, and every head in the room turned swiftly to face it, the weight of the moment pulling down on all of us like an invisible force. The tension in the air was thick and persistent, like an unsaid danger no one dared to mention. My heart hammered violently against my ribs, causing my chest to tighten as I watched one of the warriors walked inside. His countenance was not pleasant, and his clothes were soaked and clinging to his body from the rain that was falling outside. He bowed slightly before speaking, his breathing unsteady and heavy from exhaustion. "Alpha," he spoke reluctantly. "We followed her trail as far as we could, but... she went deep into the forest." My frustration boiled over, and I let out a low, threatening growl. My fingers curled into fists at my sides, and my nails dug into my palms as I struggled to control my rage. "And you lost her?" I inquired, my voice frigid, each syllable containing the full weight of my rage. The war

Chapter: THE ALPHA'S VOWLUCIAN The rain had begun to fall gradually and steadily, soaking the earth outside. I barely noticed. My entire mind was dominated by a single thought: finding Selena. I held the side of my bed, my knuckles whitening. My body still ached from my injuries, but I didn't mind. The pain was nothing compared to the weight pushing down on my chest, choking me from the inside out. Selena was gon And I'd let it happen. Muffled whispers resonated across the hallway. The crowd was still reeling from what had occurred earlier. My rejection of Helena had sent shockwaves through Bloodfang, and now, that uncertainty lingered in the air like a dense fog, curving through the halls like an unstoppable presence. I tightened my jaw when the door creaked open. The healer strode inside, her face tense with concern, her eyes scanning me as if assessing my condition. "Alpha, you need to rest." "I don't need rest." My voice came out sharper than I intended, full of fury and haste. "I need a

Chapter: THE AWAKENINGLucian's POVI woke to the soft voice of the healer. "Drink this, Alpha. It will help with the pain."The scent of strong herbs filled my nostrils, mingling with the lingering metallic tang of blood. My body felt heavy, my limbs aching from the wounds I had suffered. A deep groan rumbled in my chest as I shifted slightly, my ribs protesting with sharp pain. The healer, an elderly woman with wise eyes, pressed a warm cup into my hands. "Drink," she urged gently.I took the cup, my fingers curling around it. The bitter liquid stung my tongue, but I swallowed it down anyway. Anything to dull the pain coursing through my body."You should rest, Alpha. Your body needs time to heal."I was about to nod when memories slammed into me like a thunderclap.The argument.Selena.Helena.They had both been in the room with me. They had started quarreling. I had stepped between them, frustration boiling in my veins. And then…Nothing.A sharp pulse of worry shot through me. My grip tightened arou

Chapter: THE ESCAPE THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING"Lock her up!" The healer's voice cut through the chaos like a sharp blade. I had no time to react before my arms were grabbed and pulled backward. The room circled as voices echoed around me—gasps, accusations, and murmurs of betrayal. "She tried to kill the Alpha!""Selena betrayed us!""She needs to pay for what she's done!"I struggled against the warriors who held me, my chest rising and falling in anxious breaths. "I didn't do anything!" I screamed my voice rough. "You're making a mistake!"But nobody listened. Helena's smirk revealed everything I needed to know: she had won. She had turned everyone against me, and now no one would believe the truth. Lucian's motionless figure on the bed caused a deep sensation in my chest. He was barely breathing, and I couldn't help him. If I didn't escape now, I'd never have another chance. I breathed sharply and twisted my body, throwing my weight against one of the men who were holding me back. He tripped, relaxing his grip just enough

Chapter: A CRIME I NEVER COMMITTEDSELENA'S POVHelena’s eyes burned with fury as she stormed forward, her heels clicking against the stone floor. The tension in the room was suffocating, thick like a storm waiting to break.“You,” she spat, her gaze locking onto mine with pure hatred. “You just couldn’t stay gone, could you?”I stiffened, but I didn’t flinch. I refused to show weakness. “I came back for my mate.”“Your mate?” she scoffed, her voice dripping with venom, filled with disbelief. “Lucian was never yours. You were a mistake—an accident. And now you think you can waltz in here and take him back?”Lucian groaned beside me, shifting slightly in bed, his face pale but his eyes struggling to focus on the scene unfolding before him. “Helena, stop,” he said, his voice hoarse and weak.She turned sharply to him, her lips curling into a sneer. “You’re defending her? After everything she’s done?”Lucian forced himself upright, wincing in pain as his body protested. “She hasn’t done anything to you.”Helena let out a

Chapter: THE WEIGHT OF DESTINY"You need to go to Lucian, Selena. To save his life… and to avoid the wrath of the Moon Goddess."Raiden’s voice echoed in my head, but I didn’t want to hear it. I refused to hear it.With anger tightening my chest, I turned and walked away, leaving him standing there. I didn’t need anyone telling me what I already knew but wasn’t ready to accept.I made my way to the entrance of the warriors’ quarters and sat on a rock, staring out into the night. The moon hung above, glowing softly, as if watching me. Judging me.Could I really do this? Could I go back to Lucian after everything he had done?I thought about Raiden’s words. It is your fate, and you must bear it. Fate. That cruel force that had dictated my life from the moment I was born. I had spent years dreaming about finding my mate, someone who would cherish me, love me, protect me. And yet, the one destined for me had rejected me, mocked me, and allowed his pack to treat me like I was nothing.But then, I remembered something el

Chapter: NO WAY OUT It's been two days since the gala disaster, two days since my failed escape attempt. I hunched over my bathroom toilet, emptying what little breakfast I'd managed to eat. Something was wrong. My approaching heat usually brought fever and aches, but this felt different."Elena?" Mia's worried voice came through the door. "Let me in, or I swear I'll break it down."I'd been avoiding everyone since that night, but Mia had climbed through my window an hour ago, refusing to leave. Crawling to the door, I unlocked it."Holy shit." She rushed to my side. "You look terrible.""Thanks," I croaked, accepting the damp washcloth she pressed to my forehead. "Just what every girl wants to hear.""Cut the jokes." Mia felt my pulse, her nurse training showing. "These aren't normal heat symptoms. Your heart's racing, and—" She froze, nostrils flaring. "Elena... your scent..."Ice flooded my veins. "What about it?""It's... different. Like when my sister was..." Her eyes widened. "Oh my god.""No." I s

Chapter: THE GALA AND THE FALLOUT The gala sparkled with fake smiles and old money, crystal Lanterns casting shadows over pack politics. I tugged at my conservative blue gown, my skin still burning from Lucas’s touches the night before. Every movement reminded me of our night together, every tick of the clock counting down to my approaching heat."Elena." Richard Thompson appeared beside me, his smirk shallow, his eyes void of warmth. "You look... adequate."I fought the urge to pull away from his touch as his hand settled on my lower back. "Thank you for the invitation.""Oh, it won’t be the only thing I give you." His fingers dug into my spine, possessive. "Your father has already agreed to the match. Smart man, knowing damaged goods need a quick sale."My wolf stirred, a sharp, unfamiliar defiance rising within me.Lucas's influence.Even after just one night, he had awakened something in me—something stronger, something that refused to cower.A commotion erupted at the entrance.

Chapter: POINT OF NO RETURN Elena's POVThe Club pulsed with energy, strobe lights cutting through artificial fog as bodies moved on the dance floor. I tugged at the hem of Mia's black dress, feeling simultaneously powerful and exposed."Stop fidgeting!" Mia shouted over the music, pressing a brightly colored drink into my hand. "You look hot! Own it!"She wasn't wrong. The dress hugged curves I usually hid under conservative clothing, and I'd let my dark hair fall in waves past my shoulders instead of the tight bun Sarah insisted on. For once, I didn't look like the perfect, submissive Omega."I still can't believe I'm here," I yelled back, taking a sip of the drink. Sweet with a kick – just like freedom."Better than sitting at home planning your wedding to Richard!"I choked on my drink. "How did you—""Please." Mia rolled her eyes. "My mom's on the Council. I heard all about Sarah pushing for the match." She grabbed my arm. "Speaking of hot guys who aren't Richard... Don't look now, but Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Dan

Chapter: THE WEIGHT OF BELONGING ELENA'S POV"Elena! Where are my silk sheets?" Sarah's voice sliced through the pack house like a whip. "If you ruined them in the wash again—"I gritted my teeth, folding another stack of linens. "They're drying outside, Mrs. Walker. The dry cleaner said—""Outside? Are you trying to ruin them? Honestly, Elena, do you have any common sense?"Breathe. Don’t react. At twenty-three, I should be free to make my own choices. Instead, I was stuck playing servant for my stepmother, the Luna of the Southern Pack."I’ll bring them in now," I muttered, already moving."No need. I'll have Rosa do it. At least she knows how to handle quality items."I clenched my jaw. "Of course. Anything else?""Yes." A slow, satisfied smile spread across her face. "Your father wants to see you in his office. Something about another complaint from the Council."My stomach twisted. Council meetings meant one thing—more reminders of how I was an embarrassment to the pack. I barely nodded before turning to leave.

Chapter: THE TRAP IS SETTwo weeks had passed since Lily had made herself at home. Redesign works were going on in her own house so she was staying at Damian's for the mean time, and each day Calla found herself more and more isolated. Lily spent every day in the house, and at night, she shared Damian's bed. Meanwhile, Calla could barely bring herself to eat at the table, too intimidated by Lily’s presence. The women never spoke to each other. Whenever Damian left the house, Lily would ignore Calla completely, and Calla retreated to her room, avoiding any interaction. Their silence was suffocating, yet it was the only way Calla could keep herself together.That day, as Calla went out of her room to the kitchen in search of food, her nerves were on edge. She had skipped breakfast because Lily and Damian were eating together. Her stomach growled, but her mind was consumed by the strained tension in the house. She grabbed some bread from the kitchen and began eating. As she chewed, a voice from behind startled h

Chapter: A NEW WOMAN A month had passed since Calla’s court wedding to Damian. On the outside, things seemed to be going smoothly. She was living in his luxurious home, attended to by maids, and her meals were always on time. The large house felt strangely comforting, though there was an eerie sense of emptiness that lingered. She never expected her life to be this way—married to a man who barely spoke to her or looked at her. But she had grown accustomed to it, finding solace in the small routine of her days. At least it was better than getting disdainful remarks every single minute she showed her face.She started having a crush on him. She had tried to push her feelings aside remembering his words that she was just a repayment for a debt, but it wasn’t easy. Who could blame her? He was undeniably handsome, his sharp features set in a permanent cool expression, his presence commanding attention. She found herself drawn to him more than she cared to admit. But that attraction was beginning to evolve into

Chapter: A SILENT AGREEMENT The car ride was suffocatingly silent. Calla sat stiffly in the passenger seat, her hands clasped tightly in her lap, her eyes fixed on the blur of city lights outside the window. Damian didn’t speak, his focus entirely on the road ahead. The only sound was the low hum of the engine and the occasional rustle of fabric as she shifted uncomfortably in her seat.She stole glances at him occasionally, trying to read his expression, but his face was unreadable. His sharp jawline was set, his dark eyes focused, and his hands gripped the steering wheel with a quiet intensity. She wondered what he was thinking. Did he regret this? Did he see her as nothing more than a burden, a repayment for a debt? Or was there something else, something deeper, that she couldn’t yet understand?They pulled up to a hotel, its grand facade illuminated by soft golden lights. Damian parked the car and finally broke the silence. “What happened to you?” he asked, his voice low but firm. “How did you get the scar?

Chapter: THE BARGAIN The doorbell rang, its sharp chime slicing through the tension in the room like a knife. Calla’s heart leapt into her throat, her hands trembling as she clutched the edge of the table. Her father, Charles, straightened in his seat, his expression was unreadable. “That must be your husband,” he said, his voice cold and detached, as if he were discussing a business transaction rather than the fate of his own daughter.Daniel, her stepbrother, smirked and walked toward the door, his movements slow and deliberate, as if he were savoring every moment of her discomfort and anxious. Calla’s stomach churned as she watched him reach the door. She hated the way he looked at her, the way he always seemed to revel in her pain and misfortune.The door creaked open, and there he was.Damian Blackwood.Calla’s breath hitched as her eyes landed on him. He was not what she had expected. She had imagined someone older, someone cruel and hardened, with a face that matched the coldness of his demands fo

Chapter: SOLD LIKE AN OBJECT The room was dark, lit only by the pale glow of the moon filtering through the half-open curtains. She sat on her bed, knees drawn to her chest, staring at the wall.Another restless night.It had been this way for years—sleepless, haunted by a house that had never been home. A place where she had no voice, no worth. She had learned to survive in the cracks, to make herself small and invisible. But survival came at a cost. The weight of it pressed down on her chest, suffocating her.Then—The door burst open.Her body stiffened as a shadow loomed in the doorway, tall and imposing, filling the space with an oppressive energy. She didn’t need to see his face to know who it was. She recognized the stance, the way he carried himself with an air of entitlement. And that smirk that disgusted her—always that smirk.Her stepbrother, Daniel Everly. A cold chill ran down her spine as she scrambled to her feet, pressing herself against the wall as if it could swallow her whole. Her heart pounde

Chapter: SHADOWS OF THE PAST Lila's POVI stared at the plate in front of me, my stomach twisting into knots. Steak. Mashed potatoes. Steamed vegetables. Simple, yet perfect. It smelled incredible—exactly how I remembered. Adrian knew how to cook. For a moment, I was thrown back in time, to nights when he would return from his ridiculous late-night meetings, roll up his sleeves, and make us dinner because he didn’t trust anyone else to get the seasoning right. To the way he’d smirk when I stole bites from his plate, acting like he was annoyed but never once stopping me. Back when I thought we were happy. But it was all a lie. I tightened my grip around the fork, forcing myself to stay in the present. Those memories meant nothing now. They were just pieces of something that had shattered beyond repair. Adrian sat across from me, watching me too closely.He had barely touched his own food. “You’re not eating?” I asked, my voice colder than I intended. He leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. “

And how the hell am I supposed to react to the cryptic message that says that one ex of mine is about to be killed?“Bastards!

New York's very own hell hole. It was a well known destination for crimes and criminals. I parked my car a block away, jumping out without bothering to turn off the engine. The streets were eerily quiet, the kind of silence that screamed danger. My fingers itched to pull out my gun, but I needed to be quick.

Not because I’m running away.” Sophie sighed, reaching out to hold my hand, but I pulled away. “Lila, please… you can’t stay here,” she whispered. “Why would you even want to? After everything he did to you—” “I’m not staying because of him, goddammit!” I snapped, yanking my hands to my lap. “I built my life here! My job, my friends…everything I’ve worked for is here.” Sophie’s lips pressed into a thin line, her eyes filled with frustration. “But at what cost? You can’t tell me you don’t see it, Lila.

For a moment, I thought I saw a glimmer of emotion. But it was quickly extinguished, replaced by his usual indifference.“Are you serious?” He asked, his voice sounding amused.“Yes, I am. I want a divorce, Adrian.” I nodded, giving a firm response.He reclined back in his chair as a smirk spread across his face. “Why?” He asked in one word.“I know,” A knot formed in my throat as I struggled to find the words. “I know about her. Your secretary.”For a moment, there was silence. Then he smiled, leaning forward slightly. “And?”I felt a chill run through me at his cold response. I had prepared myself for denial, maybe even anger, but not this. “And?” I repeated, my voice cracking. “That's all you have to say?”He shrugged, picking up his fork and stabbing the food on his plate. “What do you want me to say
