Mate. Everyone in my pack dreams of hearing that one word at the Mating Ball, but for someone like me—a shadow wolf—this word may sound like a death sentence. I'm Asena Jordart, the illegitimate daughter of the great warrior, Erebus Jordart, and my wolf spirit is still asleep. For someone like me, a love game might become a gamble where life is at stake. Foolishly, I decided to risk it all for the one I loved, Kylar Venelo. The Alpha's son found his weak mate unworthy of becoming his Luna. Not caring whether I would live or die, he rejected me before the entire pack, savoring every second of my agony. The Fates decided I didn't die. I found my new life high in the mountains. I found a teacher who trained me to fight, and I found my life's purpose. As a leader of the resistance group, I fought against Alpha King Khaos's tyranny and saved lives. Then the Fates mocked me, forcing me to return to my old pack and help those who mistreated me. In order to free the members of my old pack and my dear sister, I had to give up on my own freedom, becoming a captive of Alpha Khaos's most brutal general, Alpha Kaan. Surprisingly, I found that being close to this vicious man was equally terrifying and fascinating. Once I tore through the layers of the cold-blooded killer, I found someone for whom my heart began to thunder. Now I begin to fear that he might be my second chance mate… And another rejection will surely be my death.

Chapter 1

A Midnight Date

I shouldn't have been here. My father would have killed me knowing that I had sneaked out of our shabby cottage house… again. I should have prepared for tomorrow's Mating Ball. I should have tried to find myself a dress worthy of entering Alpha Cadoc's castle. I should have tried to get some sleep. But was I doing any of it? No. I was standing in the old, abandoned hut at the top of the hill with my heart pounding in excitement.

My eyes were locked on the door. My breath was erratic. My hands were shivering. Kylar should have been here by now. I hadn't seen him for over two weeks, and I couldn't wait to feel his strong arms around me again.

I wished we could have seen each other like normal couples did. I wished I could have held his hand while walking through the center of Hilalville. I wished Alpha Cadoc had blessed my relationship with his son… I wasn't that lucky.

My wolf was a sleeper. I felt its presence in the depths of my soul, but I couldn't turn into my wolf form. I might have been faster and stronger in my mortal form than most of the wolves in our pack, but it didn't matter. Without the full strength of my spirit, in the eyes of my pack, I was worthless. I guess being the illegitimate daughter of an old warrior who was now a cripple and a drunkard didn't help my position in the pack either…

My life hadn't always been like this. It had never been perfect, but it used to be… better. My father, Erebus Jordart, was once called the Eastern Valley Pack's greatest warrior, and my sister had been slowly following in his footsteps. I was supposed to be like them—strong, powerful, and worthy of respect. The Fates denied me Jordart's family strength. After our pack's healer, Silas, had named me a shadow wolf—a wolf that was likely never to feel their spirit's full power—I had been degraded to a status no better than omega. Meeting Kylar might have been the only good thing that had ever happened to me.

I heard the screeching sound of an opening door, and my heart tripped over itself. Kylar's large frame slowly appeared, and my lips parted into a wide grin. He chuckled and dragged his fingers through his wavy, ash-blond hair. “Missed me?” he asked teasingly before cautiously locking the door behind him.

I bit my lip, taking in his broad chest barely embraced by a gray button-up shirt and his dark brown leather pants, perfectly emphasizing his muscled thighs. “You know I did,” I muttered.

He walked closer and dipped his head, leveling his gray eyes with mine. “I missed this,” he purred, placing his fingers on my lips. “And this.” He slowly slid his fingers down my neck and lower to my cleavage, slightly exposed in the simple linen dress I wore.

My breath hitched as his eyes darkened and his arms snaked around my waist. His lips collided with mine. His tongue darted out, parting my lips and entering me with ease. My fingers greedily tangled around the curls of his hair, pulling him closer, urging him to explore me deeper. His arm traveled down from the small of my back to the curve of my buttocks and below. I gasped against his lips as he lifted me. Instinctively, I wrapped my legs around his waist as he carried me a few steps before dropping my butt on the old table.

“Lie down,” he ordered hoarsely as he positioned himself between my legs.

I swallowed but obeyed, ignoring the rough wood and pointy splinters digging into my back. Our eyes locked, and a wave of heat washed over me. Something wicked coiled between my thighs as I watched him drag his tongue over his full bottom lip. His darkened eyes scanned my worn dress. A second passed, and his fingers swiftly curled around the collar, and he tore my dress in two.

“Don't!” I yelped… a heartbeat too late.

He chuckled as his eyes eagerly scanned my undergarments. “I'll buy you a new one.”

I grabbed the two parts of the fabric and covered myself, frowning. “And how am I supposed to get back home now? I can't shift into a wolf form like you do, remember? I need clothes.”

He smirked and began undoing the buttons of his shirt, exposing the beautifully crafted muscles hidden beneath. He dropped the shirt to the floor. “You can cover yourself with it afterward.” He placed his hands on my thighs and slid them toward my already humid center.

My heart lurched. I rose to sit and grabbed his wrists, stopping him midway. “Kylar… You don't want to do this here… do you?”

His brows knitted. “Why not? Don't you think that it's time to move further?”

A nervous smile curved my lips. “It's dirty… and uncomfortable. I don't want my first time to be…”

He stepped away from the table and huffed. “You want a palace, princess?”

I pulled the edges of my torn dress and tied them together. “Can't we wait until tomorrow? It… It might be different when we turn out to be mates. Your father cannot defy the relationship blessed by the Moon Goddess herself.” I sucked in a shaky breath. “I don't want to do it here,” I said, lowering my head.

“Why, Asena? Because it's dirty?” Cold laughter broke through his throat. “I don't think this place is any worse than this dump you live in.”

I ground my teeth. “You're cruel.” I jumped off the table and started tying knots on my dress, trying to somehow put it back together.

He blew out a breath and stepped closer. “Asena…” He purred my name, and a pleasant shiver coursed through me. “Let's not fight tonight.” He grabbed my chin, lifting it enough for our eyes to lock. “Be a good girl and spread your legs for your future Alpha.”

My traitorous body reacted to every note of his deep and sinful voice. I craved the man standing before me… but not like this. I freed myself from his grip and lowered my head. “Don't take away the remains of my dignity by making me do this… here,” I whispered.

A low growl rumbled in his chest. “I came here for you. I risk my reputation for you. And this is how you repay me?”

I swallowed and extended my hand toward him. “I-I'm so—”

“Don't fucking touch me!” he roared, smacking my hand. “You ruined the fucking mood!” He snatched his shirt from the floor and stormed out of the hut.

“Kylar!” I called out, running after him, but he had already disappeared somewhere behind the trees.

My hands dropped limply to my sides. Was I asking for too much? All I wanted was a little comfort… just this one time—my first time. I knew that Kylar was used to getting what he wanted. He could have had any girl in our pack at the snap of his fingers. Any one of them was ready to crawl at his feet, yet for some reason, he had chosen me. Others would have said that I should be grateful that he had even laid his eyes on me, that I should bow before him… But what if I turned out to be his mate? Shouldn't mates be equal?

I had always thought that the connection between us had been dictated by the Fates, that we had been blessed with it. It was supposed to be something sacred. So why did I suddenly feel this odd restlessness coiling in my stomach?

I drew a ragged breath and muttered to myself, “It will be fine, Asena. Tomorrow, Kylar will surely turn out to be your mate, and it will all be fine…”

I tied several more knots on my dress and slowly walked out of the hut. The almost full moon shone above the hill in the middle of the woods. I should have headed home, but some strange force drew me deeper into the forest. I kept walking until I suddenly found myself by the lake.

“Shit,” I murmured, anxiously looking around as I realized I was outside the pack's borders. It wasn't the first time I wandered around the lake, but I had never dared come here in the middle of the night.

I drew a deep breath and scanned the area. It seemed like I was alone. Exhaling slowly, I crouched by the shore. The moonlight illuminated the calm surface of the water. My long blond hair waved in the night breeze, and the rustling sound of leaves soothed the restlessness inside me.

I had to believe that tomorrow would change everything. With the Blood Moon at its peak, the mate bond would appear, and everything would be fixed. I knew it would. I clenched my fists and forced a deep inhale when, suddenly, I heard the quiet sound of the snapping twig.

My breath caught in my throat as I turned around and scanned the area. And then I felt it—the wave of energy that almost knocked me off my feet. The forest became completely silent.

I wasn't alone. Something was coming. Something powerful…

This is probably my fave book on here. I love the “weak to strong” girl theme, the beautiful love story, and the fact that the book was so well-written and never got boring!

This is a MUST read book. This is the very first time I’ve found a true couple who remain true to themselves. Asena was never selfish or full of herself. Kaan was never cruel to his mate. They were honest to each other and thanks to that they were then able to trust each other. It was a fresh air…

A Deadly Stranger
I leaped behind the first tree, which I found broad enough to work as a hideout. I crouched down and plastered my back to the trunk, listening to the sound of footsteps. What I heard was two feet, not four paws, but I was yet to determine whether it was a good or bad sign. My heart rate increased as the footsteps became louder… This powerful being was coming this way.I cringed in my temporary hideout and held my breath, focusing on the sounds. Suddenly, the footsteps stopped, and what came next was a faint splash of water. I was almost certain that moving from my position was a terrible idea, but I couldn't stop until I satisfied my dumb curiosity. I twisted my body, barely keeping my balance, and leaned out from behind the tree.“Damn,” I breathed out, locking my eyes on the man who crouched by the shore.Illuminated by the moonlight, he seemed almost godlike. He looked like an incarnation of darkness, packed in the most alluring body I had ever seen. I mean, Kylar had a nice body,

The Ball
I must have fallen asleep at some point of tossing and turning in my bed because I had seen the black wolf from the woods again. This was an odd dream. I wouldn't call it a nightmare, but it was... disturbing.The beast stood among the trees, looking at me the way he was back then when I had seen him first. He came closer but kept a safe distance between us as if he didn't want to frighten me. Then he howled and cried, lowering his large head before me. Something inside me knew he was trying to warn me, I only didn't know what he was trying to warn me from.I woke up with a sharp gasp, shivering from the intensity of what I had just seen. Everything in the vision I had was strangely vivid—too vivid to be called a simple dream. Groaning, I glanced through the window at the lazily rising sun and crawled out of bed.Unsurprisingly, Ellaria and my father were still asleep, but they hardly ever got up early in the morning, especially my father. Never even once had he gotten up before noon

For the Good of the Pack
I stood numbly and stared at the thin stream of light coming through the door crack. My heart had just broken into pieces. Had I been wise enough to listen to my survival instincts, I should have run the hell out of that castle or out of this pack's territory. Yet I stayed still, refusing to acknowledge that what I heard was true.“I'll gladly watch that bitch squirm in pain and die.” Sloan clasped his hands together and laughed.“Actually, if that's Asena, I'm hoping for a bigger audience,” Kylar said coldly. “I'm planning to do that in the ballroom, in front of everyone.”Something within me snapped. The pain of betrayal faded, and rage surfaced. My hands fisted into balls as I slowly dragged myself out of my stupor. A wave of heat washed over my senses, and I knew that I was running out of time. As much as I wanted to barge into that room, I was still wise enough to know I couldn't fight them. Grinding my teeth, I turned around and started running, the further from Kylar, the bette

Dying
For a moment, everything turned silent, still... I stared into Kylar's gray eyes, awaiting the pain.“No!” I heard a heart-tearing cry coming from the side of the ballroom. It was my sister. My head slowly turned toward the sound, and I saw her pushing through the crowd and running to the dais. “How could you reject her?! She will die!”I looked at my sister and gave her a weak smile. And then I felt it—the searing ache in my chest that slowly spread through every vein in my body. I raised my eyes to Kylar and saw nothing more than a faint wince twisting his features. Surely, he didn't feel the ounce of pain that began to consume me.Every inch of me began to rattle, and I collapsed to the floor. “She's in pain!” Ellaria screamed. “Help her! Silas, help her!”“I'm sorry, Ellaria,” came Silas's mournful voice. “The consequences of the broken bond cannot be healed.”The fire that started inside me slowly drifted to the surface, making the wolfsbane poisoning seem like a gentle rash.

Purpose
I had become a wolf without a pack—or rather, a shadow wolf without a pack. I was also kind of… homeless… and dead. Well, maybe not in an unalive-dead way, but in the dead-to-the-world kind of sense.This was frustrating. I thought that living in a pack where everyone thought I was a nuisance had been difficult, but this? This was like building my life back from scratch. Of course, I had enough common sense to know I couldn't have survived another day in my old pack, even if Ellaria hadn't proclaimed me dead. Here in the mountains, at least I could live and be free. Unfortunately, I had yet to figure out what this new life and freedom could mean…“Think about it as a unique opportunity.” Riona smiled warmly as we sat in her hut, drinking herbal tea. “You can start over. You can be who you always wanted to be.”My lips twitched into a wry smile as I turned my head to the window overlooking the narrow path leading down the mountain and toward Eastern Valley Pack's territory. Ellaria and

Resistance
Three Years LaterI stared at the two all-muscled guys in front of me and smirked. The audience had already gathered around us, forming a large circle in the middle of the training grounds. Since it hadn't rained in more than a week, the ground beneath my feet turned dry, forming a fine layer of loose sand—yet another weapon within my reach.The two men before me sneered, their eyes running up and down through the length of my body. “Are you sure you want to do this, princess?” One of them, Efrain, chuckled. He ran his hand over his bald head and then rolled back his broad shoulders.“Scream if you want us to stop.” Efrain's friend, one with curly brown hair, Demir, gave me a wicked grin, and a wave of laughs and snorts spread around the circle—a short and faint wave. Unluckily for Demir, he hadn't noticed that the majority didn't find his words funny. He gaped at my tight leather jacket, enforced with a tailor-made bustier, and dragged his tongue over his bottom lip. “I'll free your

Spared
The wolf slowly stepped forward, his red eyes fixed on mine. Another low growl rumbled in his chest, and my palms began to sweat. Why was this wolf here? He couldn't have—My breath caught as I noticed the thick drops of blood staining his onyx fur. I stepped back, corrected my stance, and swallowed. “You… You killed them,” I croaked as tears fell down my cheek.The wolf's lips peeled back, exposing a row of sharp, still-bloodied teeth. A cold-blooded killer—that was who he was. He raised one paw and stepped toward me as if ignoring the fact that I was aiming at him with a wolfsbane arrow. Still, he didn't attack.I sucked in a breath and shifted my fingers around the bowstring. I knew that I had to kill him. He was one of those who murdered the villagers. “Attack me,” I strained through my teeth. “What are you waiting for?!”The wolf snarled but didn't move. Why the hell didn't he attack?! He had no problems with killing the innocent, so why hesitate now?! “Attack me!” I yelled hoars

Between Dreams and Nightmares
I shifted in my bed, lying on the side. Drawing deep breaths, I hoped to relax my muscles. I breathed in through my nose and out through my mouth. I repeated it once… twice… Citruses. I smelled citruses. I had no idea where this scent was coming from, but I found it oddly soothing. Someone's strong hand slid through my side under my resting arm and stopped on my stomach. Fingers splayed on the thin fabric of my nightgown in a sensual caress. The stranger's touch should have terrified me, but it didn't, although I couldn't explain why. Then the hand on my stomach moved to the other side of my waist, and I was pressed against the body lying behind me—the definitely male and definitely firm body.I bit my lip at the feel of the stranger's chest against my back and a certain bulge rubbing against my buttocks. I could feel his body shift, and I shivered as his lips kissed the crook of my neck. I gasped as more kisses followed on his way up my neck. Goddess… I wanted those lips on mine.I s

Closer to the War
Three hours later, our forces crossed the Moonshine River Pack's borders. No one stopped us. Those who survived were either severely wounded or too terrified to leave their shelters. Another massacre. I had seen the villages or even bigger towns burned to the ground within those three years, but this seemed different. It looked like the gods of death laid their fury upon this land…Many of the wolves living in this pack were scumbags and Kylar-type bastards, but there had to be innocents living here as well. Now those jerks and innocents shared the same fate...“Are you OK?” Aeron asked when I let out a slow, ragged breath.I shook my head. “I'm not. Actually, I'm terrified. If the same happens to Eastern Valley Pack, I—”“Your sister will live,” he said, and my eyes widened.“How can you say that? You don't know—”“She and you have this all-badassness running in your veins.” He looked at me and winked. “She'll find a way to survive this.”I wanted to believe him, even if it was highl
