Elena has always been an outcast. Born with a hole in her heart, blamed for her mother’s death during childbirth, rejected by her father, and treated as a servant in her own home, she grew up lonely and unloved. With a weak heart that leaves her fragile, she had never felt like she belonged. Until the night everything changed. At the Full Moon Festival, everyone is shocked when the mate bond ties the smoking hot and ruthless immortal Lycan King; Lycan Nikolai, to Elena. For centuries, Nikolai has searched for his destined Luna—a reincarnation of the powerful woman he once loved but lost tragically. Realizing that Elena is weak and sick, he rejects her without a second thought. Elena’s stepsister, Sophie, gladly takes her place as Nikolai’s Luna, unaware that fate has other plans. A tragic accident that plunges Sophia into a state of coma forces Elena into the role she never wanted. She becomes a substitute bride to a king who sees her as worthless and a total waste of time. Thrown into a ruthless world of elite wolves, betrayal, and secrets, Elena is determined to survive. As she uncovers her own hidden strength, she begins to form an undeniable bond with Nikolai. But Sophie won’t let go so easily, and the shadows of Nikolai’s past threaten to destroy everything. Secrets unravel, prophecies are revealed, and enemies rise from the shadows. Will Nikolai see past her weakness to the powerful woman she truly is, or will the ghosts of their pasts and present temptations destroy them both?
View More[Elena]True to Nikolai’s words, the next day, I was enrolled into the elite academy of every werewolf dream, but only restricted to the high wolves. My parents had sold almost all of their resources just to have Sophie attend this school and almost all my life, I had wished I could get into this school too. But now that I was here, I didn’t know how to feel. I wasn’t prepared for this. All of it just felt overwhelming to me. As I walked down the hallway, I controlled myself from gaping in awe at how breathtaking and ancient the school building was. It was unlike any academy I had seen in my entire life.But as I walked past the students that lingered in the hallway, I noticed their stares and nervously clutched my stack of books so tightly that my knuckles almost turned white. As always, I was grateful I had covered my hair with a beanie. The whispers around me got louder the more I walked. “Is that her?” “The temporal Luna? I heard she’s sick and weak. You know, she does look
[ Elena ]As I stood at the center of the raised platform, draped in crimson and gold, Anya circled Lycan Nikolai and I with an elegant grace that was too smooth for her old age. Her long black robes swept the floor and her silver hair glinted under the torchlights surrounding us.As she performed the mating rites chanting in a language I didn’t understand, I kept my gaze on Lycan Nikolai who was standing before me, his expression blank and piercing as usual. He was dressed in ceremonial black, his broad shoulders draped in a cloak that made him look even more imposing. Suddenly, Anya turned to me, her hand reaching out. I expected her to touch my forehead, like she had Nikolai’s, but instead, her palm pressed against my chest, right above my heart. The contact was electrifying and a strange warmth spread through me. I instinctively stepped back. Then, she leaned in, her voice so low, only I could hear. “There’s more to your weak heart than you think, child.” Then, with a crooke
[ Elena ]I stood by the hospital window, watching my father and step mother through the glass. They were seated around Sophie’s bed where she was lying unconscious. The both of them looked fine except for a couple of bandages and plasters here and there. Valerie had her head on my father’s shoulder weeping softly while he comforted her with his hand smoothening her back gently. From what the nurse had told me earlier, Sophie was the only one who had sustained serious injuries and was now in a coma because of that. According to her, she was going to wake up but they weren’t sure when. I wasn’t allowed inside the hospital room when I came. My stepmother had made that clear when I arrived. “We don’t want you around here, Elena. You’ll only bring bad luck. Who knows if you’re not the one behind our accident.” She had hissed at me with a glare. So, I stayed in the hallway, silently observing and feeling sorry for Sophie. As much as I disliked her, I didn’t want this for her. “What i
[ Elena ]“I, Lycan Nikolai Duskborn, Lycan King of the Duskborn werewolf realm, reject you, Elena Rivers, as my mate…” Even though the words didn’t come exactly to me as a shock, I wouldn’t deny the way the sting of rejection hit me like a punch to the gut. The crowd around us gasped and I could hear some people snickering delightfully behind me. “Rejected. I knew it.” An unidentified girl whispered. “She really thought she would be Luna? A pathetic sick girl like her?” Another woman sneered. I swallowed hard, forcing myself to stand tall, despite the heat of embarrassment creeping up my neck. But truth be told, I didn’t feel all that bad. Sure, I was the center of mockery once again, but deep down, I felt relieved. I could never imagine myself bound to a man like Lycan Nikolai. He was too cold, ruthless, and had lived thousands of years as an immortal. I wasn’t the first girl he had been mated to. Matter of fact, he had been mated to many women before me, but because they
