"Slut!" "Wake up, you slut!" The voice echoed in my ears like a slap—sharp and piercing. My arm was tapped roughly, and a sickening weight pressed down on me, making my body feel like it was sinking into the bed. But I didn’t move. My eyelids were too heavy, my body too weak, as though something was forcing me to stay still. Then, the voice came again, louder this time. "You whore, I said wake up!" My chest rose and fell with a shaky breath as I forced my eyes open. The first thing I saw was Victoria's face, her lips curled into a sneer, eyes burning with disgust. I blinked, confused. My surroundings felt wrong and strange. I should be in Nathan's room, not here. This wasn’t his room. This wasn’t where I was supposed to be. Then it hit me. I was in the garden last night with a glass of wine, preparing for the most important day of my life. I was going to be made Luna of the pack. Nathan had called me and told me he had a surprise for me. But now... how had I ended up here? With Victoria? And where was Nathan? The unfamiliar room reeked of alcohol and deceit, its lavish curtains reminding me I was still somewhere within the palace. But this wasn’t Nathan’s room. I tried to sit up, but strong hands forced me back down. Panic surged in my chest, and I looked to my left. A man, a stranger, lay beside me, his eyes closed, his lips twisted into a grin even in his sleep. I rubbed my eyes, trying to focus, hoping it was a nightmare. This couldn’t be happening. Nathan should be the one here. But he wasn’t. The man beside me muttered something in his sleep, pulling me closer to him. I gasped and shoved at him, but he only tightened his grip, pulling me deeper into the bed. "Where the hell am I?" I whispered to myself, my voice trembling. Then, just as I was about to scream, Victoria’s voice sliced through the silence, cold and venomous. "I’ve always told you she’s not the right one for you." I froze, not understanding. My heart thudded painfully in my chest as I watched her step into the room again, a victorious glint in her eyes. "She’s a slut. A whore who only knows how to open her legs for any man," she sneered, her gaze flicking from me to the man beside me. I opened my mouth to protest, to explain, but nothing came out. The words were trapped in my throat, tangled in confusion and fear. What was happening? Before I could even process it, the door swung open with a force that rattled the frame. Nathan walked in. His eyes locked on me, and the world seemed to stop. The flicker of pain in his eyes was all I needed to see to know something had gone terribly, terribly wrong. My heart sank as his gaze swept over the scene—me, disheveled, clutching the sheets; the stranger beside me. His jaw tightened, and I saw the coldness build in his eyes. "What the hell is this?" he growled, his voice low, filled with barely contained rage. "I... Nathan, I... I don’t even know what’s going on," I stammered, my body trembling. I tried to pull away from the man, but he didn’t let go. I didn’t even recognize him. Who was he? How had I ended up here? Victoria stepped forward, smugly observing the chaos she had set in motion. Her role in this was clear. She was the mastermind, feeding him lies, manipulating him with every word. But I didn’t have time to think about that. All I could focus on was Nathan’s cold stare, the complete rejection I saw in his eyes. "Can you explain this?" His voice was tight with fury. I tried to explain, tried to make him understand, but the words wouldn’t come. "I was in the garden last night with a glass of wine... I was getting ready for…" "For today, yes, for today," I said, smiling weakly, hoping he’d understand. "It’s today," I added when it hit me. "You called me, told me you had a surprise..." Nathan's face twisted in disbelief. "A surprise?" he repeated, his voice harsh. "This is the surprise, Sofia? You with another man in my bed?" "And not just my bed but my private room at that," he said with hurt. I immediately looked around the room and realized he was right. It was his private room! The room he marked me! He only comes here when he wants to be alone, and according to him, I was the first person he had brought to this room. And now... Gosh! What's going on?! I thought. Tears welled in my eyes as I clutched the bedcovers to my chest. "No! Nathan, please... I don’t know how this happened." "And you couldn’t even come up with a better lie, Sofia," Nathan spat, his voice dripping with contempt. "You of all people knew I wasn’t even in the pack last night! I was out making sure everything was perfect for our coronation. Then how the hell did I call you?" "I don’t know!" I shouted, my voice cracking. "I didn’t do this! I—" "Shut up!" Nathan roared, cutting me off. "I’ve seen enough." Victoria’s face gleamed with satisfaction, and she stepped closer, tilting her head mockingly. “Oh, Nathan,” she said sweetly, her voice laced with poison, “I warned you about her. I told you she’d ruin you. But did you listen to me? No.” She smirked, her eyes cold as they locked on me. “Now look at her. A whore, just like I said. You should be thanking me for saving you before she dragged the entire pack down with her filthy ways.” Nathan’s face hardened as her words seemed to confirm every doubt he already had. "You’re a liar, Sofia. A cheat. You’ve betrayed me." His words were like daggers, each one plunging deeper into my heart. I tried to reach for him, desperate to make him see the truth, but his eyes hardened further, his body stiffening as he stepped back. "You’re not worthy of me. Or the pack." I felt the weight of his words crush me, suffocating me. I watched in shock as he turned to Victoria. "Get her out of my sight," he said coldly. "I don’t want to see her again." Then, he looked at me one last time. "You're banished. I never want to see you again," he spat. The words hit me like a physical blow. My body went numb as his words sank in. Banished?! I couldn’t breathe. My chest felt like it was collapsing, and the world around me seemed to blur. Victoria’s triumphant smile made my stomach churn. Before I could even react, Nathan turned his back on me, walking out of the room. The witch followed behind him, her wicked, victorious grin leaving me with the feeling that my fate had already been sealed. What just happened?VICTORIA'S POVThe air reeked of stale beer, sweat, and desperation. Ew.But, it was exactly the kind of place I’d expect to find a disgraced Alpha drowning in his own failure. Go figure.The bar was tucked into the corner of a forgotten alley, away from prying eyes by broken neon signs and shattered dreams. How do the humans say it again? Ahh, yes. What a boulevard of broken dreams.I stood outside for a moment, letting my eyes adjust to the dim glow bleeding through the fogged windows. The faint thundering boom of music sounded from within – some cheap EDM beat vibrating through shitty speakers – and over all of that, somehow louder than it all, the rough voices of men exchanging bets, boasts, and laughter that reeked of low intelligence.I pushed the door open.The warmth inside hit me like a wall, thick with body heat and alcohol fumes. It was a human dive, alright. Ugh.Cheap wood paneling, flickering lights, a couple of dart boards with knives sticking out of them. A fight was b
NATHAN'S POVThe rain had finally stopped.I watched the last beads slide down the windowpane of my office, the world outside slick and silver under the afternoon light. It had been a quiet day—restless, but quiet. The kind of quiet that gets under your skin, makes your wolf lift its head and sniff the wind.Still, I tried not to read too much into it. I had things to do—real things.I turned my attention back to the table in front of me. A spread of papers, drawings, and a carefully wrapped pair of gifts sat in the center. One for Alex. One for Alexia.I had put them together after our last talk—gifts that I hoped the ancestors would be proud of, sure, but also from me. I’d carved their names into the wooden boxes myself. Inside were tokens of our world—hand-polished stones charged with protective runes, small journals bound in soft leather, and a pendant each, etched with our crest. It was slightly different from the other pendants I had gotten them—this one had the Bennett family c
THEON'S POVThe council room was a pressure cooker. It was almost as though the collective heat emanating from the council members could cook a hard, battle-seasoned wolf.Heat radiated from more than just the fire crackling in the hearth. It steamed from the anger in the room – wolves packed wall to wall, voices rising, tempers flaring. And no matter how tall I stood or how hard I glared, it wasn’t enough to keep the unrest at bay anymore.“He left,” Brannon, one of the newer council members, arms folded across his massive chest. “Our Alpha abandoned us.”“He didn’t abandon us,” I snapped, my voice ringing out like a whip. I imbued a bit of authority so as to make lesser wolves obey due to the chain of command. “He made a choice. One he told us about. One he took full responsibility for.”“He left,” someone else echoed. “When the fire hit. When the house burned. When Victoria and her father tried to kill him – he walked away. What kind of Alpha does that?”One of the younger wolves,
SOPHIA’S POVAlexia’s eyes glowed with a strange, pulsing light – unnatural and far too old for her six-year-old face. They didn’t blink as she stared straight ahead, her small hand still raised, fingers curled like she was holding something I couldn’t see.“Alpha Nathan, leader of the Moonstone Pack… you are in grave danger.”My heart slowed down, stuttering in its steady walk. The air itself seemed to still, the warmth sucked from the room. I started to step forward on instinct – my baby – but Elara caught my wrist, holding me firm. Her grip was steady, but her gaze never left Alexia. Her silence screamed, don’t.Then Alexia’s head turned. Slowly. Mechanically, like her bones had turned to gears with knobs for muscles. Until her glowing gaze landed on me.“And you… Sophia of the broken bond…”I stopped breathing.The voice was still hers, still soft and small – but it was laced with something heavy and ancient. Something that didn’t belong inside or anywhere near my daughter’s body.
NATHAN'S POVElara didn’t wait for us to react. She was already halfway down the hallway by the time I caught up.“Is it Alex?” I asked, heart slamming against my ribs.“Yes,” she said sharply. “But not in the way you think. Come on.”I didn’t look at Sophia – we were moving too fast – but I felt her presence behind me. Her heartbeat was quick, light footsteps trailing mine as we reached the twins’ room.When Elara threw the door open, everything in me froze.Alex lay in bed, his body drenched in sweat. But it wasn’t a fever. His skin glowed faintly, like moonlight was trying to escape through his veins. His fingers twitched, his back arched once, and his lips moved silently, like he was trying to speak in a dream.Alexia sat beside him, hands pressed to his chest, brows furrowed in fierce concentration.“Elara–” Sophia’s voice broke. “What’s happening to him?”Before she could answer, Alexia turned to us. “Shhh.”She didn’t shout, didn’t cry. Just raised her tiny finger to her lips.
SOPHIA'S POV“No way in fucking hell.”The words cut through the room like a whip cracking. Sharp and final.But the second they’re out, my chest constricts. Fucking hell. I see it in his eyes – the flicker of hurt – but I don’t care. I can’t care. Not now. Not when my entire world’s been turned on its head again, and he’s the one holding the match.Nathan doesn’t say anything. He just stands there in the kitchen’s low light, like he expected this. Like he knew it would go this way and still came anyway.Good.He should’ve known better.“You think you can just walk back into our lives,” I start, pacing because I can’t be still, my hands doing their part in the conversation too, “say a few heartfelt things, drop some ancient-wolf-magic prophecy on me – and I’m supposed to just what, uproot everything and go back to Moonstone?”“I didn’t say it would be easy,” he said, voice calm but low.I whirl around on him. “Don’t do that. Don’t use that calm, measured tone with me. You left. You ba
NATHAN'S POV Her voice breaks the quiet. “We need to talk.” Fucking hell. I knew what it was going to be about. I nod, even though I already know this won’t be easy. I follow her to the kitchen, where the light is low and everything feels too still. It smells like honey tea and something faintly herbal, probably whatever she brewed to ease Alex’s symptoms. I take the seat across from her, my shoulders tight, heart steady but heavy. She doesn’t waste time. “I saw things tonight,” she says, arms crossed, voice tight. “Things I don’t understand. You touched Alex and… the way your aura shifted, your eyes… even the air changed. I felt it, Nathan. Through the bond.” I hold her gaze. “I know.” Her brows lift slightly. “You’ve changed.” I don’t argue. “I have.” She waits, like she knows I have more. Then she spelled it out for me. “What the fuck aren't you telling me, Nathan?” She’s right. It was time to finally, fully come clean. “I didn’t always know what I was,” I say quietly
SOPHIA'S POVBut that was clearly a problem for another day, as Nathan didn't give two shits about any other thing.“Where is he? Where is he, Sophia?”Nathan’s voice crashes through the house like thunderous waves in a storm. The walls seem to echo with it. My breath hitches. The room spins for half a second before my feet find the ground again.I turn sharply, hand gripping the counter for balance. He’s standing there in the doorway, shoulders tense, chest rising fast, eyes wild and glowing faintly gold. His wolf was really struggling to come to the surface and from what I could tell, it looked like only the gods themselves were holding him at bay. I’ve never seen that look on his face before.Not even when we fought. Not even when everything between us broke.“Nathan.” I breathe, but he’s already moving. Storming past me.“Elara!” He shouts. “Where is he?”Her voice comes from the hallway, calm but urgent. “Upstairs. Second door on the left.”“Nathan, wait!” I go after him, but he’
NATHAN'S POVThe morning passed in a rare kind of peace.For once, the air in the office wasn’t heavy with tension or crisis. The team was in high spirits, and business was running smoothly. Priya had been grinning since she walked in, flipping through reports with a satisfied nod before updating me on the latest developments.“We finalized the contract with Veridan Enterprises. They signed off on everything this morning.” She said, placing a crisp folder on my desk. “And the partnership with HavenTech is set to launch next quarter. At this rate, we should probably think of hiring more people and expanding. We could open more branches and get into new ventures!”Camille poked her head in. “Okay, slow your roll Minnie. Your enthusiasm is starting to affect even Jacob. He looks like he's coming off a crazy hangover. You good there Jacob?” She directed the last bit at the man, as he looked a little worse for wear and not like the usually meticulously put together man we all knew. And wo
