Eira Silverclaw’s heart shattered as she stood before the man she had given everything to—the man she had loved, trusted, and sacrificed for. For three years, she had poured her soul into their marriage, taking on responsibilities beyond her own, all for the sake of their pack’s future. But now, on the third anniversary of their union, everything she had worked for was crumbling in an instant. Her husband, Alpha Kieran Blackthorn, was no longer the man she had married. The pride in his eyes as he gazed at the woman he brought home—his mistress, pregnant with his child—was a dagger to her heart. The audacity of his words, cold and calculated, rang in her ears. “She is pregnant with our child. Since you couldn’t afford to give birth for three years, her child will be ours too. The three of us. Now, you should refer to her as a younger sister.” Her breath caught in her throat. "Shameless." The word echoed in her mind, but she couldn’t speak it aloud. What could she say? Her world was falling apart, and he was only adding salt to the wound. With her marriage falling apart, Eira wasn’t the type to let anyone decide her fate—not even the man who had once been everything to her. “Marry me, Magnus Ironfang.” She looked into the eyes of her husband’s most dangerous rival—the cursed Alpha of the North. Cold, ruthless, and feared by all, Magnus was the last man anyone would expect her to turn to. But with her marriage in ruins and her heart broken, what did she have left to lose?

Finding your mate doesn’t mean a happy ending. I should know.I’m living proof of that.My mate and I went our separate ways.The bond? I broke it.And now… there’s no going back.“We’ll discuss this later,” Magnus said flatly, cutting off his aide. “We have a guest at the door.”I flinched.Of course, he knew I’d been standing there the whole time. No use pretending.Before either of them could move, I knocked lightly, then pushed the door open just enough to peek inside.“Can I come in?” I asked, my eyes falling on Magnus behind his desk. His aide stood beside him, frowning like I’d just tracked mud into a sacred place.He didn’t like me.Couldn’t blame him. Who would like the woman who used to be mated to your Al
Eira’s Pov“Dress or pants?”The brown-haired girl held up a blue dress and a pair of pants, flashing me a bright smile.I hesitated, my eyes darting between the two. I had no idea which to choose.For the past hour, she had made me shower thoroughly, and now she was waiting for me to pick an outfit. That was something Fiona used to do for me. Thinking of her now, I felt a pang of worry. Was she okay at that pack? Had her mate taken her away since I was no longer there? I just hoped she was alright.“Dress or pants?” she repeated, this time her smile faltering. “Are you okay?”I quickly nodded and pointed at the pants. “The pants are fine.”She studied me for a moment, clearly unconvinced, but didn’t push. Instead, she placed the pants on the bed, along with a white shirt and a blue leather jacket.“Do you need help getting dressed?” she asked.I shook my head and picked up the pants. “Nope. I’ll be done in a few minutes.”A few moments later, I stood in front of the mirror, fully dre
Eira’s POVWatching the car drive past familiar places in the pack made my heart ache. Though I wasn’t originally from here, I had grown to love it. Even after leaving my own pack, I had preferred this one. However, I now regret that decision.If only I hadn’t merged the two packs, I would have had a place to return to. But that wouldn’t have mattered—Kieran would never have let me go, and he would never have agreed to divide the packs either.It had been years since my father’s death, and the packs had become so intertwined that separating them now was nearly impossible. Most of the influential members had already left after I ignored their warnings against the merge.This was all my fault.Now, I was on my way to another pack to be their Luna. But would they accept me? I had no history with them, no factual background, and after changing my appearance, I was nothing more than a stranger Magnus had picked up. A woman with nowhere else to go.Would they welcome me?Not only that. Kier
Eira’s POVA gasp escaped my lips, and my eyes widened in shock. I hadn’t expected him to get violent so suddenly.Magnus tightened his grip, his voice a deadly whisper. “You don’t get to tell me when to stop.”Kieran clawed at Magnus’ wrist, his face turning red from the pressure. Magnus leaned in, his eyes burning with rage.“If Eira isn’t here by tomorrow, safe and unharmed, I will burn this entire pack to the ground. Do you understand me?”Kieran gasped for air, nodding frantically.Magnus released him, letting him collapse onto the table, coughing and wheezing. Then, without sparing another glance, Magnus turned to Vanessa.“You should pray your child isn’t a boy,” he said darkly. “Because if he inherits his father’s weakness, he won’t survive long.”With that, he straightened his coat, casting one last disgusted look at the two of them before turning to me.Holding out his hand, he waited for me to take it. “Let’s go. We are leaving this pack for now.”Raising my head, I took hi
Eira’s POVAs soon as the words rolled off Magnus' lips, Vanessa flinched, her eyes widening in shock. She looked as if she had been shot.Kieran didn’t look good, either. His face was stunned, clearly not expecting something like that.“Are you going to say some greetings, or…?” Magnus asked, intentionally trailing off to give them a chance to respond to the question he had just asked.I peered at the two of them, waiting for their reaction. Magnus had asked about me, and I wanted to hear what excuse Kieran would give for my disappearance.He hadn’t told Magnus about me vanishing yesterday, and I was sure he wouldn’t do so now, either.“The Luna isn’t back yet,” Kieran muttered, looking like he had regained his composure.I listened, waiting for him to give whatever excuse he had prepared, but he hesitated, his brows furrowing as he tried to fake sadness.“She got caught up in a rogue attack and is injured. She won’t be here until she’s fully healed,” he added, making me flinch. My e
Eira’s POV“Get up and get dressed,” he said, rising to his feet, an expressionless look etched on his face. “It’s 11 a.m. There’s a dress for you in the wardrobe. Change into it. We’re joining Kieran for breakfast.”Those words made me freeze. Having breakfast with Kieran again was a nightmare I didn’t want to relive. He would be dining with Vanessa, and facing both of them was the last thing I wanted.It would be even harder to face Vanessa—she was the main reason I had been locked up in the first place.“Is that really necessary?” I asked Magnus, hoping he’d say no. But he shook his head, watching me with a hint of suspicion.His expression seemed to ask, ‘Are you sure you can handle this when you're still terrified of facing him?’“Yes,” he replied. “It is. We’re still leaving today, though.”Without giving me a chance to argue, he headed for the door. “I’ll be waiting outside. Be quick.”With that, the door slammed shut, and his scent lingered in the room. Why did it feel even he
Magnus’s POVA soft snore caught my ears, and I slowly turned to look at the woman lying across from me on the couch. Was she asleep already?Getting off the bed, I dropped the facade of sleeping and headed for the window. Outside, I could see guards patrolling the place—tons of them.I hadn’t mentioned to Eira that Kieran would feel the bond shatter, leaving him clueless about how it broke. He must be feeling a sense of loss right now, and it was quite entertaining to think of him searching for a Luna he wouldn’t even recognize when they met again.Finally, something interesting was happening to me.Now that she was with me, there was no longer a need to deal with Kieran. Since the business was originally her idea, I could work with her directly instead of going through him. He handled the business exchanges even though he had no real understanding of the idea.Being his foolish self, he had also cheated on the perfect woman he could have had by his side. It wasn’t surprising that he
Eira’s POVMy eyes widened in shock as I glanced at her, unable to believe what I had just heard. Did she just call me Eira?Wasn’t she not supposed to recognize me?Did that mean my appearance hadn’t changed at all? But Kieran didn’t recognize me. How could she be the one to do so?“You don’t have to say anything,” Fiona said before I could form a proper response. “I know everything about you.” She mumbled, “And I happen to know the size of your wrist and body, too. You can explain what happened while you were left alone. For now, I’ll take you to Alpha Magnus. It seems to me that you have a better plan.”My lips parted as I tried to speak, but I shut my mouth immediately. There was nothing I could tell her yet—I couldn’t risk someone overhearing. It was better to talk to her later.A few minutes later, she dropped me off in front of a door, which I could tell led to Magnus' room. Bowing her head, she turned around and left before I could even speak.Forcing myself not to call her ba
Eira’s PovA sharp, throbbing pain pulsed in my skull as I stirred, my body heavy and unresponsive. The air was cold—too cold—and the scent of damp earth filled my senses.My fingers twitched, brushing against something soft. A blanket? No. Grass.I forced my eyes open, wincing against the pale light filtering through the trees. My limbs felt like lead, my breath coming in slow, shallow pulls.For a moment, I didn’t remember what had happened. Then it all crashed down on me.All that happened filled my head. The rejection. The pain. The emptiness.I sucked in a sharp breath, my hand instinctively reaching for my chest, but the unbearable agony from before had faded into a dull, hollow ache.Kieran was truly gone. The bond that had once pulsed between us, warm and unshakable, was nothing more than a memory.A rustling sound snapped me out of my daze. I turned my head weakly, and my heart jumped when I saw Fiona kneeling beside me, her brows drawn together in worry.“You are awake,” she
Eira’s POV“Luna! The Alpha has returned from his trip!”The door swung open, and my maid’s voice jolted me out of my thoughts. I turned to her, a smile spreading across my face at the news of his arrival. It had been two long months since Kieran left the pack for an important matter, and now, finally, he was back.I had missed him more than I’d liked to admit.Closing the book in my hands, I rose to my feet as quickly as possible. I needed to see him.“Okay,” I said to my maid, a hint of excitement in my voice. “I’ll go welcome him.”But as the words left my lips, I noticed something was off. There was a strange look on her face—sad, almost concerned. This wasn’t the first time my husband had been away for so long, but she had never looked like this before.“Is something wrong?” I asked, narrowing my eyes.She flinched slightly before shaking her head. “The Alpha… he returned with a woman,” she said hesitantly. “She looked like she might be his mistress.”Her words hit me like a blow...
