After finally convincing her father to give her a year of freedom before she takes on the alpha position, her father allows her to celebrate in a club with her best friend, Dex. With him nowhere to be found and a persistent bloke named Ryker sniffing around her ass, the last man on earth she'd expected to save her was Alpha Kaden Kyson, whom her father loathes with every drop of his blood. She wakes up in Kaden's bed and instantly realizes she made her biggest mistake. She rejects him, only to go home finding his mark on her neck, leaving her in shock, about to beg her father on her knees when he says the last thing she expected of him. As it turns out, her father holds very strong principles on the mate bond. To him, it's the most precious, sacred bond to a wolf and one must not break it. So, he breaks his longest-time rivalry with Alpha Kaden for sake of his daughter, and arranges an alliance between the packs through marriage. Eloise is relieved of her father's decisions and gives the bond a chance. All seems to be going well, when on one fateful day, she announces her pregnancy to her father first out of excitement. But before she got to tell Kaden, pictures of her naked with another man flooded the news, bringing shame to her family and most of all, breaking her father's trust. The marriage is called off, and he announces her unfit to rule the pack and she never will. What breaks Eloise's heart even more is that her father starts beating her. Kaden refuses to see her or answer her calls. Desperate, she seeks Dex who helps her escape her father undetected, chasing that sliver of hope for new beginnings.
View MoreEloise’s POV:My heart clenched with worry, and my stomach sank. Mum? Adeline whimpered too.Mum and I managed to get into contact with each other three years ago. I told her about the rogues and the pack that consisted only of women. She also informed me that Dexter was arrested somewhere, but she wasn’t sure by which pack and for what charges. I was able to let out a sigh of relief once I found out about his arrest. But one morning, around the time she used to call me and see the pups, my phone didn’t ring.I thought she was busy, but the next week she never rang. Then, a week passed still nothing. Two weeks later, I can’t get through to her cell. She never rang after that.“What happened to her?” I ask, my voice laced with worry.Dread fills me at the thought of something happening to my mum, the one person who didn’t turn her back on me when the whole world did.My father clenched his jaw, and I could see he’s hesitating to tell me.“What aren’t you telling me?”My father looks aw
Eloise’s POV:“Eloise.” He calls out.I groan, turning and walking past him just as he comes forward to see me.“I’m busy.” I murmur, using him as a distraction to get away from Kaden.“I’ll wait.” I hear him say, but I pay him no attention.Instead, I walk to my trainees who were waiting for me outside.The amount of testosterone and battle of dominance in the pack training grounds was immense. Yet it was nothing compared to where I was sandwiched between the wall and his hardcore body.And those rock-hard, thick muscles bulging through his—Focus! I mentally slap myself. This is no time to be eye-fucking anybody. I have to focus if I wanted to go home before he could even blink.I force my gaze forward, refusing to acknowledge the way my pulse is still racing. If I let myself spiral for even a second, I’d be stuck there, replaying the moment where he was too damn close, where I almost forgot why I should hate him.I step into the center of the training grounds, my trainees already l
Eloise’s POV:I furrow my brows just as he stops in front of me.Crossing my arms against my chest, I prepare myself for another glare-off with him when he does the next thing I did not see coming.He grabs my arm, dragging me to goddess-knows-where. At first, I recoil but his grip was firm and there was no escaping his hand wrapped around my wrist like handcuffs.“What are you doing? Let me go!” I growl, furious he would do this in front of my trainees. They all looked on at what was happening and glanced at one another, not having any clue as to why this giant, handsome dork is pulling my arm in the middle of training.My cheeks redden in anger and embarrassment, and I yank my arm away when he growls, turning to face me.“What in goddess’ name do you think you’re doing?” I hiss, demanding to know what the hell has gotten into his head to whisk me away at such an inappropriate time.‘You mean to say he should only when it’s appropriate, then?’ Adeline teased, clearly enjoying his att
Eloise’s POV:Kaden’s little visit last night kept me awake, tossing and turning for hours as his voice filled my head.“Face it, Eloise. You are mine. No matter where you run, no matter who you go to, you will always belong to me.” He growled in a deep and husky voice that would make any woman swoon by his feet. Not me, though.“See that mark on your neck?’ his eyes lower, and I instinctively clutched my robe pulling it closer to cover my neck.I look away, but the intensity of his gaze still managed to spread fire through my neck.I hear him chuckle. His voice coming out in a possessive growl.“The reason why it never faded…” he inches closer, and I gulp, “was because you still acknowledge the bond.”Then, sparks rush through my skin when he slowly, seductively slide his calloused hand down my arm, grazing my nipple through the silk fabric of my nightwear. I held my breath. I refuse to react to his provocations because of some invisible string tying us together.He slows down, traci
Kaden’s POV:That night, I find myself outside her room.Again.I don’t knock.I don’t need to.Because the second she opens the door, she stops short. Her eyes narrowing, pulse spiking.She knew I’d come. And she’s waiting.For what, I don’t know.But I’m damn well going to find out.Eloise’s POV:I should slam the door in his face.I should.But I don’t.Because the way Kaden stands there, arms braced against the doorframe like he owns the whole damn world, makes something sharp and dangerous coil in my stomach.My grip tightens on the door handle, “You really don’t know when to quit, do you?”His golden eyes gleam under the dim hallway light.“Not when it comes to you.”My heart does something stupid.I ignore it.Instead, I cross my arms, making sure he sees the irritation on my face.“Do you need something, or are you just here to breathe in my direction like some stalker?”Kaden smirks. Lazy and lethal.“Depends. Will you let me in?”I scoff, “Not in this lifetime.”His smirk wi
Eloise’s POV:I roll out the tension in my shoulders as I stalk across the training grounds, ignoring the way every pair of eyes follows my every move.The air is thick with disbelief and shock that a woman just put one of their top warriors on his ass without breaking a sweat.Good.Maybe now they’ll take me seriously.I can still feel Kaden watching me. His presence is like a second skin, pressing in, invading my space even from across the field. It should bother me.It does.But not for the reason I wish it did.“Back on your feet,” I bark at Aiden, who’s still rubbing his ribs.“You’re my sparring partner now.”His lips part slightly, like he wanted to argue. But one glance at my expression and he thinks better of it.Smart choice.He shifts into a fighting stance, “No holding back, right?”I smirk, “Not even a little.”A split second later, he lunges at me with striking speed.He’s fast—I’ll give him that. But I’m faster.I sidestep his strike with ease, ducking under his arm and
Eloise’s POV:My hands grip the steering wheel tighter than necessary as I pull into the training grounds, my knuckles turning white. I can still feel Kaden’s presence lingering on my skin, like a touch I can’t scrub away.Damn him.Damn the way his words coil around my throat, the way his voice slithers into my mind long after he’s gone.I don’t belong to him.I never will.Abbie shifts beside me, stretching her arms over her head. “You look like you’re about to murder someone.”I exhale sharply, forcing my hands to relax.“Not someone. Just one particular asshole.”She snorts, “You mean the very large, very territorial, very obsessed asshole who followed us here?”My stomach drops.“What?”She jerks her chin toward the rearview mirror.I glance up just in time to see a familiar black pick-up truck rolling to a stop a few yards away.Kaden.Of course it’s Kaden.Because this bastard doesn’t know when to back the hell off.A low growl vibrates in my chest as I shove the car door open
Eloise’s POV:The tension in the air is suffocating.Even after training ends, I can feel Kaden’s eyes burning into me from across the field. Watching. Stalking. Waiting.For what?For me to run?For me to crumble?I won’t.I refuse.Abbie smirks beside me as we gather our things. “You really put them in their place.”I roll my eyes, grabbing my water bottle and taking a long sip. “They needed to learn a lesson.”She snorts. “Oh, they did. But I don’t think the warriors are the only ones who got schooled today.”I follow her gaze, already knowing what—or who—I’m about to see.Kaden stands a few feet away, arms crossed, his massive frame tense. His sharp, dark eyes pin me in place, like he’s daring me to look away first.I don’t.That would be submission. Weakness.And I am not weak. Not anymore.Abbie leans in, lowering her voice. “He looks like he wants to throw you over his shoulder and lock you away somewhere.”I don’t dignify that with a response, but my wolf, Adeline, purrs in am
Kaden’s POV:I lift my head, my voice barely controlled. “Care to explain why my name isn’t on any of these?”Eloise doesn’t answer right away. She watches me carefully, as if preparing for a storm.Then, with a smirk that doesn’t reach her eyes, she says, “Because you were never supposed to know about them.”The ground beneath me might as well have shattered.For the first time in my life, I have no words.And Eloise?She takes a step back.Then another.Then she turns on her heel and walks away, leaving me standing there, gripping the proof of my stolen years.I scoff, shoving the birth certificates into my back pocket before taking another step toward her. My patience is already stretched thin, and the smug way she tilts her head, completely unaffected by my presence, is only making it worse."You think this is a joke?" I grit out, my voice a low growl.Eloise simply arches a brow. "No, I think it's a waste of time standing around when we have work to do." She turns to Abbie, compl
Eloise’s POV:“I don’t want to be Alpha.” There. I said it. My father freezes instantly, his one hand up in mid-air as he had been keeping me up to teach me all about the basics and whatnot on becoming his pack’s Alpha.“I beg your pardon?” He raises an eyebrow.“For the last time, Dad. Can’t I enjoy my youth far away from here before you hand me over the title?” I sigh, sitting down on his fancy leather couch. I folded my arms across my chest.“I want to travel, see the world, maybe even go to university. Dad, you know I always wanted to be a teacher.” I hear Dad sigh, heavy footsteps coming to me before the couch dips as he takes a seat beside me.“I know that. You told me a thousand times.” He chuckles. I pout.“But we’re talking about the pack.” He says.“Of course. More important than your own daughter.” I mumble.I know I was being a bitch. Yet, sometimes I just wanted my father to listen.My father, Alpha Viktor Sage, is the present Alpha of Heaven Moon Pack. I’m the only da...
