She supposed to be a healer. A pawn. A broken heart waiting to be crushed. Valkyrie has always seen herself as an unworthy omega—kept alive by Luna Dowager's hand solely to save her only son, Alpha Ragnor. A prophecy claimed that only a hybrid werewolf from the hidden X Village could cure his madness syndrome. But the late Alpha’s hunt for a cure turned into a massacre, wiping out the villagers, leaving only baby Valkyrie alive. Adopted by the Luna to ensure her son’s cure, Valkyrie grew into her role, unaware that fate would entwine her with Alpha Ragnor in ways that would shatter everything. When the prophecy was fulfilled, Valkyrie became his mate—a cruel twist of destiny that tore Alpha Ragnor between love and duty. Fearing his mother’s wrath and uncertain how to protect her, Ragnor rejected her, unaware that rejection would spiral into a painful chain of events. Now hunted by fate, love, and madness, Valkyrie must grapple with her heart as another Alpha captures her attention, threatening her bond with Ragnor and sparking a deadly rivalry. As war brews on the horizon and secrets claw their way into the light, Ragnor’s descent into madness takes a dark and devastating path. Who will survive this twisted fate? And how far will love and madness go to claim what they desire?
View MoreVal's POVRagnor’s gaze met mine, a storm brewing behind those dark, conflicted eyes. "You don’t know what you’re asking," he warned, his tone rough, nearly a growl. But I didn’t back down—I couldn’t. "Then tell me," I replied, my voice trembling with a desperation I couldn’t hide. His jaw tightened as though he was fighting something deep, primal. For a moment, I thought he might walk away again, leaving me in this torment. But instead, he leaned closer, his breath brushing over my fevered skin, warm and intoxicating. "If I stay," he said softly, his voice raw, "I can’t hold back." A shiver ran through me, anticipation and uncertainty colliding. Was this what I wanted? No, it wasn’t a question—I already knew the answer. "Then don’t," I said, the reckless challenge escaping my lips before I could second-guess it. The space between us evaporated. His lips crashed into mine, fierce and unrelenting, igniting something deep within me. A moan escaped my lips as his kiss claime
Val's POVA haze. A fog. That’s all I can remember. I was in my room, the pup safe on the rug. Then came the fever—a relentless inferno consuming me from within. I staggered to the kitchen, desperate for relief. Herbs, a potion, anything. But the cupboards mocked me, bare and unforgiving. My desperation echoed in the silence. I stumbled outside, the world blurring at the edges. My knees buckled, a desperate plea rising from my lips to the heavens—or to anyone who might listen. Then, through the fog, a dim light beckoned. Ragnor’s chamber.A place steeped in childhood memories, now tainted with distant nostalgia. Once, he was gentle—a boy who promised care and companionship. But that was before he vanished, leaving me adrift. He had gone abroad to study. Or so they said. In truth, it was a facade, a fragile mask to conceal a darker truth: a madness he battled silently. A secret burden he carried, hidden to protect the family’s honor. The Alpha’s son—a madman. A shameful sec
Ragnor's POV The sudden bang of the door jolted me upright. My head snapped toward the intrusion, my senses instantly on high alert. The maid stood frozen in the doorway, her wide eyes filled with terror as they flickered between Valkyrie and me. She was as pale as the moonlight that streamed through the window, her trembling hands clutching a tray of linen like a lifeline. “A... Alpha!” she stammered, her voice shaking so much it barely resembled words. “I—I didn’t mean to disturb you!” “What in hell’s name are you doing here?” I barked, the growl in my voice sharp enough to make her flinch. Her knees almost buckled as she stammered out her excuse, her words tumbling over each other in a chaotic rush. “I was ordered to clean the chambers, Alpha. I didn’t know… I didn’t know anyone would still be inside.” “Ordered to clean? At this hour?” My voice, low and deadly, carried the promise of consequences if she didn’t explain herself quickly. “Beta Tasya,” she whispered, her lips ba
Ragnor's POV The doctor’s work was done, but he moved slowly, packing his supplies with an excruciating deliberation that only served to amplify my impatience. Each movement felt like a beat of time I couldn’t afford. "She needs to rest, Alpha,” he said, his voice measured, his eyes flicking to Valkyrie’s prone form as though he still sought something in her silence. “I’ve done what I can for now, but her recovery... it depends on whether she can regain her strength. And...” He hesitated, his gaze briefly meeting mine before falling away. “And what?” I demanded, my voice a sharp. I didn’t have time for riddles. Not now. He shifted uncomfortably, his voice lowering. “Her bond with you... it’s still faintly present. If you—” “That’s enough!” I snapped, my patience shattered. The last thing I needed was the doctor’s speculation, his quiet hints, or any reminder of what I had severed. The doctor quickly bowed his head, a look of relief passing over his face before he exited the ro
Ragnor’s POV The silence in the room was suffocating—an unrelenting weight, pressing down on me with the force of a thousand unspoken words. I stood at the foot of the bed, my gaze locked on Valkyrie, lying motionless at its center. Her fragile form was a stark contrast to the woman I had known—pale, lifeless, her shallow breaths a faint whisper in the air. Her lips were cracked, and the defiance that once burned in her eyes was gone, replaced by a vulnerability I never thought I’d see. The once proud and indomitable Valkyrie now looked... defeated. I wasn’t prepared for this. I never thought I would witness this. She had meant nothing to me—someone I’d chosen to sever ties with long ago. But now, seeing her like this, broken and vulnerable, something twisted inside me. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from her. The door creaked open, and Gamma Dwayne entered, his face unreadable. Behind him, the pack doctor followed, his expression grim, his eyes scanning the room as though seeking
Ragnor's POV The image lingered in my mind—a small, fragile figure that stood defiant even when she had no right. Valkyrie. Her reckless actions grated on me. How could someone so insignificant invite so much trouble? A knock disrupted my thoughts. “Alpha,” Gamma Dwayne’s voice came before the door opened. He entered, his expression tense. “What is it?” My tone was clipped, betraying my exhaustion. My body felt strangely weak, a heaviness that was uncharacteristic. “You don’t look well,” Dwayne remarked cautiously. “I need rest. Handle anything else yourself.” I waved him off, turning toward the chair by the window. “Alpha, the Madam is here.” I paused mid-step. Of course, she would come. She always appeared when I least wanted company. “Let her in.” The door opened wider, and my mother stepped in, her heels clicking against the stone floor with deliberate precision. Her eyes immediately scanned me, narrowing when they caught sight of the faint cut across my cheek. “You’r
Val’s POVThe ominous howl echoed through the forest, silencing every other sound. Even the wind seemed to hesitate, as if it, too, feared whatever lurked beyond the treeline.“Stay behind me,” Ragnor commanded, his voice low but unyielding, laced with an authority that left no room for argument.I hesitated, clutching the pup tighter. “Ragnor, what’s out there?”His eyes stayed locked on the darkness, sharp and unrelenting. Every muscle in his body was taut, ready for whatever danger approached. Finally, he muttered, “Something worse than a rogue.”Worse than a rogue? Panic twisted my stomach, clawing its way into my chest.Before I could press further, a figure emerged from the shadows, its presence sending a chill down my spine. This wasn’t like the rogue that had attacked me. This wolf didn’t snarl or lunge. It simply stood there, its coat a mottled gray streaked with black, and amber eyes gleaming with unsettling intelligence.Ragnor growled, his posture shifting, hands flexing a
Val's POV “Oh, Selene…” I whispered, closing my eyes as a prayer slipped from my trembling lips. I begged the Moon Goddess for mercy—not for salvation, but for the courage to face whatever fate awaited me. If this was the end, I only hoped it would be swift, sparing me the cruelty my imagination conjured. I didn’t regret saving the pup earlier, nor did I regret running into the woods, even if it had brought me here. My only regret was the life I had lived until now—one ruled by terror, devoid of joy, and shadowed by the constant fear of my own existence. If this was how it ended, perhaps it was better this way. A final escape from the relentless weight I carried. But then, something shifted. “What… what’s happening?” My eyes snapped open, disbelief flooding my senses. The rogue wolf, moments ago snarling and ready to strike, was now pinned beneath a larger, more powerful wolf. Its feral growls turned into pathetic whimpers under the crushing dominance of the new arrival. This wa
Val's POVInstinct took over, and before I could think, I bolted into the forest. I should’ve known better. The woods were dangerous, especially at night. But there wasn’t time for logic. Not with that wolf growling like death itself was chasing me."Get away!" I shouted, my voice raw with desperation.The wolf didn’t falter. Its growls deepened, vibrating through the air as its feet thundered behind me. It wasn’t intimidated. If anything, my fear seemed to embolden it.The dense underbrush clawed at my skin, sharp branches tearing at my clothes. My lungs screamed for air, my legs burning as I pushed forward. But the wolf was relentless. Its snarls grew louder, closer, a promise of impending doom.“Oh no,” I panted, my heart pounding in my chest like a war drum. My foot caught on a loose stone, and I stumbled, nearly crashing to the ground. I barely caught myself, but those precious seconds cost me.I risked a glance over my shoulder. The wolf’s amber eyes burned like molten fire, loc
Val’s POV“Valkyrie... I need you to be honest with me.”Luna Dowager’s voice was soft, deceptively gentle, but the fire in her emerald eyes burned with unyielding ferocity. Those eyes, which once felt like a sanctuary shielding me from the icy whispers of the pack, now turned into daggers of scrutiny.“Yes, Luna?” I forced a smile, but it faltered under her intense gaze. She often called me her adopted daughter, yet the truth hung heavy between us. I was an orphan. A tool. A debt she intended to collect.“Have you... felt it yet?” she asked, her tone calm, though the steel beneath it was unmistakable.“Felt what, Luna?”“Your wolf, Valkyrie.”The words struck like a lash, tearing through my fragile defenses. My wolf—the missing half of me I had prayed for, screamed for, begged the Moon Goddess to awaken—remained silent.“I... I don’t know, Luna,” I admitted, my throat tight with shame.Her expression hardened, the warmth in her gaze shattering like glass. “What do you mean, you don’t
