Eve Something was off with Crystal, and I couldn't put my finger on it. It was like standing in a room where something unnatural had sucked all the usual energy out of it.She wasnโt her usual teasing self, enough to set off alarm bells in my head. I had been mentally bracing myself for her usual commentary about my upcoming marriage, expecting her to have a full-blown monologue about how I was walking straight into a circus act.There was nothing. Not even a halfhearted jab.Just silence.I watched her carefully when she visited the castle, waiting for some sign of her usual mischief. But she barely replied when I spoke. Her responses were clipped, and her smirks were absent; that was a red flag. I might have let it go if it had been anyone else, but this was Crystal. The woman who could turn a funeral into a roast session if given the chance.Was it PMS? That could explain her brooding mood. She always turned into a storm cloud in heat: moody, irritable, and insufferable.If that

Eve Crystal was biting into a cake when I returned to the kitchen. I stood before her."What the hell was that about?"She turned her gaze to me, completely deadpan. "What are you asking me for?"I shot her a look. "You know exactly what I'm talking about. You attacked Shahar."Crystal leaned back, faking surprise. "Oh, my bad. Did he run to you complaining that I hurt his feelings? Maybe I should send him an apology basket with scented candles and a handwritten note that says, โDear Shahar, sorry for treating you like the disposable pawn that you are.โ""That's not fair. You didn't even go after Axel like that."She shrugged. "That's because I don't have to. We know what Axel is. We know what he did. But you're getting too comfortable. I see it, and it's dangerous. We didn't come here to make friends or get married.""Let's take a walk. Fewer ears," I said.She rolled her eyes. "Whatever."We headed out and walked along the stone path. The estate's garden was always peaceful, and I

Eve Our lips met in a passionate embrace. The kiss was deep and hungry, with our tongues entwined in a dance that mirrored our growing desire.My hands roamed over his broad chest, tracing the contours of his torso under his lab coat. While his thumbs brushed against my nipples, already stiff with excitement, the sensation sent a jolt of pleasure through my body, causing me to moan softly into his mouth."What are you doing to me?" He breathed against my ear. "You're so fucking irresistible.""I know."With each passing moment, the atmosphere grew heavier and thicker with desire. My movement became more purposeful as I began to undress him, with my fingers unbuttoning his shirt, revealing his sculpted torso.My eyes traced the lines of his shoulders and the ridges of his abdomen. One by one, his garments fell away, and soon he stood before me, with his damned body a work of art, hot and ready."So needy, huh?" He whispered against my ear as I reached for his belt, deftly unbuckling i

Eve "I have to go," I said to Axel, watching as he finished his meal with a satisfaction he didnโt bother to hide.He never openly admitted how much he liked my cooking, unlike Shahar, who would shower me with exaggerated compliments and bounce like a kid. But I knew. Axel was getting addicted. The way he scraped his plate clean, the way he always finished before everyone else, the way his eyes lingered on the food before he even took his first biteโit was all the proof I needed."Stay," he said, wiping his mouth with a napkin. "I'll be rounding up soon."I lifted my head, meeting his gaze. That smug look on his face irritated me because he was fully aware of why I was looking at him like that."So why did you make me go through all this stress if you were coming home tonight anyway?" I asked, crossing my arms.He shrugged, feigning nonchalance, and went right back to eating, not even sparing me another glance. Sneaky, arrogant, huge-ass bastard.Here I was, a woman about to marry

Axel's POVA mad giggle burst from Shahar as he lunged at me again with fast and wild strikes, like he had something to prove. I gritted my teeth, blocking him, but his speed had doubled since we started. I was sparring, he was fighting like his life depended on it."Admit that I won," Shahar taunted, breathless. A grin stretched across his face as he tried to pin me down."Fuck off," I grumbled, shoving his hand away when he tried to pull me up.It was all lighthearted, nothing serious, but even the warriors watching knew he had put in twice the effort I had. A few of them chuckled, shaking their heads even when we both knew I was naturally stronger. Shahar had always been this way, competing with me in ways I never invited."I smell like shit. I'll freshen up before coming back to see Eve," he said, wiping sweat from his forehead.Something sharp twisted in my chest, and I forced a smile, pretending his words didnโt sink into my bones like a curse.Envy.It burned through me like a

AxelThe wind carried the scent of salt and damp earth as I made my way toward Priestess Gaia’s hut. The water crashed against the rocks and the chill bit at my skin, but my mind was too heavy to care.Approaching the hut, my steps faltered. There, half-buried in the sand, was the priestess—only her head visible, her long silver-streaked hair tangled with bits of seaweed.My arm clutched my chest as I frowned. “What the hell are you doing?”A raspy laugh bubbled from her throat. “Ah, the mighty king is afraid?”“Not in the slightest,” I muttered, stepping forward. “Do I even want to know if this is some sort of ritual?”She grinned up at me. “A cleansing ritual,” she said simply. “Submission to the earth, to the ancestors. You should try it.”“

Eve’s POVSomething was wrong with Axel.He hadn’t come downstairs for dinner, hadn’t spoken to anyone, hadn’t even allowed anyone into his room. It was as if he had locked himself in solitary confinement, shutting out the world. This was the second day, and my worry had only grown.I heard the sound of a van pulling up outside. My heart lifted slightly as I rushed out, already knowing who it was.Shahar stepped out of his van as I ran straight to him for a hug. He tensed for half a second before hugging me back.Strange.“Has he come downstairs?”I pulled away, shaking my head.His jaw tightened, and he stared at the house like he was trying to come up with a plan. Finally, he reached for my hand and gave it a light squeeze.“I’ll try my best.

Eve’s POVI wiped my tears roughly with my scarf as my mind reeled from the weight of my own confession.Gaia exhaled slowly, shaking her head as if trying to process it all. "What a bloody revolution," she murmured.The silence between us stretched. I could feel her gaze on me, studying me. Not with judgment, but with compassion and understanding.I hated it.I turned away, clenching my fists. “You can judge me all you want, but that night in the kitchen, I was trying to do what could only be considered revenge. And yet, I couldn’t even bring myself to go through with it. This damn bond is like a curse festering in my bones, poisoning everything.”Gaia hummed, tilting her head as if weighing my words. “Or maybe you have a kind heart. It’s rare, you know.”I scoffed, wiping the last of my te

Alec I caught her scent before I saw her.Sweet, primal and alive.It hit me as I rounded the corner of the second-floor stairs.My heart slammed hard enough that I felt it in my throat. The bond snapped awake between us, yanking tight across my ribs.And there she was.Vanessa stood a few steps above me, gripping the railing, breathing like she had just run a mile. Her skin glowed under the lights, damp from a heat that hadn't touched anyone else. Her wolf was awake, I could feel it reaching for mine.Every muscle in my body locked.I wanted to take the last few steps and grab her.Bury my face against her neck.Mark her until she couldnโt belong to anyone but me.She took another shaky step down. Her knees wobbled like a newborn pupโs.I stayed rooted where I was.Her eyes found mine, like she'd been caught in the middle of a nightmare.Something primal shoved against my control.My wolf surged, howling for her.Take her.

Vanessaโs POVI couldn't let Nina's words slide without knowing what she was up to. I pushed through the servants, ignoring the stupid whispers.Nina was halfway up the stairs leading to the third floor, acting like she had no idea sheโd just thrown a torch into dry wood. I ran up the stairs and caught up with her. She turned, calm as still water with a smile on her lips. โWhat are you up to?โ I cried out, exasperated.Nina looked around and whispered, โWalls have ears. You don't want Isabella and Maya to hear this.โShe smoothed her skirt and turned back to the stairs. Without glancing back, she said, โFollow me.โRage crawled up my neck. I stood there with clenched fists, before forcing my legs to move.We didnโt speak as we climbed. When I stepped inside her quarters, my eyes widened.It was nothing short of beautiful and eccentric. The walls were painted deep blue, like the sky right before it surrendered to the stars. A colorful rug sprawled across the floor, alive with shapes

Vanessa The stench of blood hit me before I even reached the laundry hall. The metallic smell clung to my nose and throat, making every breath taste like iron.We were waiting, heads down, buckets lined along the wall. When the hunters dumped the bloodied clothes in front of us, the pile steamed in the cold air."Move," barked one of the guards.We dropped to our knees and started sorting. Thick leather cloaks soaked through, ripped and dark with blood. Some had claw marks. Others, deep slashes. My hands found a warm shirt. My stomach clenched. I bit the inside of my cheek and shoved it into the basin.The head servant, Marga, stormed past. "You're slower than a pack of drunk pups. Hurry up!"My fingers worked fast, scrubbing, rinsing and wringing. The water turned red instantly. A film of blood coated the surface. Every time I dipped the cloth back in, it felt like bathing in ghosts.The memory slipped in before I could fight it.I was thirteen years old, and my dad had just given

But as memories of last night came flooding back, the headache was nothing compared to the deep ache in my chest.My mate.The one person destined to be my perfect match was Valen Hunter's daughter. Entirely unsuitable for me.The thought of being bonded to an enemy felt like punishment. I rubbed my forehead, trying to shake off the fog, but my mind kept circling back to the impossibility of it all.How could the goddess be so cruel?Iโd always thought I was blessed and destined for power. Life had spoiled me with luxury, and now I was crowned alpha of one of the most powerful packs on the south coast. People envied me. But now, luck had turned its back on me.It felt like the moon goddess herself had said, "Youโve had enough blessings. Time for a change."And she had changed everything.A bond with Vanessa was unthinkable. Packmates would revolt and use it agai

Vanessa The bruises had faded, but the ache remained. It was so deep nothing could touch it. My wolf was still weak from Olgaโs wolfsbane. She wasnโt silent, but her voice and cries were faint.I felt sorry for poisoning her in the first place. But if I had to do this over and over to suppress this bond, I wouldn't hesitate.The memory from last night rushed in. Lucas had tried to kill me, and Alec had stopped him, saved me, carried me... then stood over me and said I was a threat.He kept sending mixed signals, confusing me. He needed to pick a side already.Picking a side wouldnโt change the fact that he killed my father. I got dressed and headed out. The morning gong had rung earlier to wake the servants, but no one had woken me. They had all witnessed the horrifying event last night.No high-ranking wolf ever came down to the servantsโ quarters.That changed yesterday because of me. Because of me, the Alpha punched his trusted Beta.As I stepped out, everyone stared at me like

"Stop whining, Luc. I warned you not to kill her.""And why should I listen to you? She's a traitor's spawn. We shouldโve gotten her the moment the bond snapped into place. You think you can hide her? This isnโt about your feelingsโitโs about what the Kingdom sees.""Stop it," I said flatly. "Youโre beginning to sound like a broken record. I have a mind of my own.""Then use it," he snapped.

Vanessa The pack house was riddled with immorality.The sounds of sex echoed off the marbled walls. Every corner reeked of wine and sex.Usually, I found my escape. It was a miracle I hadnโt lost my virginity while living in this immoral pack for eight years.Except for that one time when one of the servant boys, Zachary, tried to lure me into his bed. I always counted myself wise and lucky. My being in the main court was on purpose. I wanted to see Alec's reaction to someone manhandling me. "On your knees, traitor bitch," a drunken gamma slurred as he grabbed a goblet of wine, spilling it down my breasts. "Were you not trained to please?"I smiled, because thatโs what servants do, and because I had caught Alec watching.Across the hall, he watched me. He stood at the throne, surrounded by well-wishers. His fiancรฉe, Maya, clung to his arm like a jewel. I was glad that he saw me."Iโm sorry, sir," I said softly, taking my time to unzip the drunken gamma.My heart fell. Alec's reactio

And fuck, my wolf wanted to chase.Before she revealed her name, my heart leapt with excitement. It reminded me of easier times, before the weight of everyoneโs expectations had crushed the part of me that used to feel alive.I pressed my back to the wall, breathing like Iโd just come out of a fight. The goddess hadnโt given me a mate. She'd shackled me to the daughter of a traitor. Pain twisted in my chest. My wolf was restless, howling for her. I was one second away from losing control."Go to her," he cried. "Sheโs ours."I ripped the ceremonial robe and tossed it into the flames. Then I began punching the wall repeatedly. I punched until my knuckles bled. Still, the feeling didnโt leave."Shut the fuck up," I bellowed at my wolf, who was starved for our mateโs touch. "Do you even realize what you're asking me to do

Laughter echoed through the halls as they crowned Alpha Alec.He was the heir to a throne built on my familyโs grave.I used to walk these halls in silk. Now I scrub their floors with raw hands and silent tears.Alec had been away for six years, training with Northern warriors. He was so ruthless that his bites could break bones. In his years of absence, I had plotted my revenge."You're wasting soap, rat."I flinched as cold water splashed against the side of my face. Laughter followed. Two maids, always eager to bully me whenever the head maid was busy, were at it again.โShe thinks scrubbing harder will clean her filthy bloodline,โ one of them sneered. Her broom handle knocked over the bucket beside me, spilling soapy water across the floor and into my lap.โPlease stop,โ I said, keeping my head down.โI hope Alpha Alec throws you into the dungeon so we donโt have to look at your evil eyes anymore.โThey had no idea how dark my mind was.
