Jade Figueroa is a fierce and intelligent young woman, born into privilege as the Alpha’s daughter of her powerful wolf pack. However, her life has been anything but free. Raised in a society that values submission over strength in women, Jade has always been silenced and sidelined, despite the raw power coursing through her veins. When she is sold into an arranged marriage to a ruthless Alpha known for his missing Lunas, her world begins to unravel. Will she succumb to the oppressive expectations forced upon her, or will she rise against tradition, defying the fate others have written for her, and claim the life and freedom she deserves? Jade’s journey will test the limits of her courage, strength, and resolve as she dares to rebel against the bonds that seek to cage her.
View MoreJade let out a slow breath as she and her packmates finally arrived at their assigned suite on the twelfth floor of the grand Royal Pack estate. After everything that had happened outside, stepping into the luxurious space felt like stepping into another world—one far removed from the chaos of unwanted claims, arrogant Alphas, and the King’s intense scrutiny.The suite was massive, with large windows offering a breathtaking view of the surrounding territory. Plush sofas and a grand dining table filled the common area, while several doors led to individual bedrooms. The air carried the faint scent of lavender and cedarwood, a calming contrast to the tension still lingering in Jade’s chest.Before she could process anything else, she was suddenly surrounded.Lilly was the first to grab her by the shoulders, scanning her with worried eyes. “Are you okay? Really okay?”Then Tala came next, looping an arm around Jade’s waist. “Because if not, just say the word, and I’ll go back down there
Jade had been prepared to fight.Her heart had been pounding, her wolf coiled and ready for battle. Every instinct in her body told her that she needed to stand her ground, that she couldn’t let herself be taken—not by Zach, not by her father, not by anyone who thought they could control her fate.But before things could spiral into chaos, everything changed.The two wolves she had sensed earlier finally stepped forward, no longer lingering in the shadows. Their presence was immediate, undeniable, and absolute. They didn’t just walk into the confrontation—they owned the space the moment they entered it. Their movements were fluid, their expressions unreadable, but the sheer force of their presence sent an unmistakable message: Enough.The taller of the two, with sharp golden eyes that gleamed with authority, took a step toward the clashing Alphas. His voice was calm, yet it sliced through the tension like a blade.“This is the Royal Pack,” he stated, his words carrying an unspoken war
King Viktor was immersed in the meticulous work of finalizing the arrangements for the Mate Ball—a centuries-old tradition that served not only as a celebration of unity among the wolf packs but also as a crucible for political alliances and rivalries. In his private study, the walls were adorned with ancestral portraits and intricate carvings that told the story of his long and storied reign. Stacks of parchment and detailed reports lay scattered on his desk, each document a testament to the delicate balance of power he had maintained for decades. The soft glow of candlelight and the faint scent of incense lent the room an air of solemnity and focus, even as Viktor’s mind churned with thoughts of potential disruptions.As he carefully reviewed a report detailing the arrival schedules of various pack delegations, Viktor allowed himself a brief moment of respite, confident that his carefully laid plans would ensure the evening’s proceedings went smoothly. Yet, in the midst of his conce
Hidden within the shadows of the towering stone buildings, Luke and Joseph watched the scene unfold with sharp, calculating eyes. Years of experience had honed their skills in remaining unseen, and their ability to suppress their scents made them virtually undetectable. But even so, the rising tension before them was enough to set their wolves on edge.The red-haired woman—Jade, if they had heard correctly—stood her ground against the two Alphas, her body rigid with defiance. She had fire in her eyes, a strength that few wolves possessed, and it was clear she wasn’t going to surrender to them easily.But then, Alpha Zach stepped closer, his voice dropping into something more sinister. “You can refuse all you want, Jade, but you know how this ends. You’re coming with me. Willingly or otherwise.”Jade didn’t flinch, but Luke saw the briefest tightening of her jaw.Her father was no better. “Enough of this nonsense,” the older Alpha snapped. “If she won’t go willingly, we’ll make her.”J
Jade stood firm, her heart pounding as she faced the man who had once controlled every aspect of her life. But she was no longer the scared little girl who had obeyed without question. She was stronger now. She had a pack. She had herself.And she wasn’t alone.Lilly was beside her, unwavering as always, her sharp eyes daring anyone to challenge them. Ashina stood slightly behind, silent but coiled with tension, ready to strike if needed. Hati crossed his arms, his towering form radiating defiance. The twins, Valentina and Isabella, shared a glance, their lips twitching as if already plotting mischief.And then there was Tala.Tala, who had no filter, no fear, and—most importantly—no respect for authority that hadn’t earned it. She tilted her head at Jade’s father, a perfectly innocent expression on her face as she said, “You know, for an Alpha, you’re kind of… useless.” She let the words hang before adding, “Oh! I mean, what’s the word? Ah, right—a worthless piece of shit.”Silence.
Jade and her packmates finally crested the last hill, and the breathtaking sight before them made her heart skip a beat. No wonder they call it the Golden Summit Pack, she thought. Below them, nestled in the valley, was a kingdom unlike any she had ever seen. The land radiated prosperity, with golden fields stretching far to the east where farmers tended their crops under the warm afternoon sun. In the west, a massive training ground sprawled across the land, filled with warriors sharpening their skills. At the heart of it all was a bustling town square, lined with stone buildings housing various shops and merchants. The scent of fresh bread, herbs, and leather filled the air, a stark contrast to the tense, battle-ready atmosphere they had endured for weeks.For a moment, the group stood in awe, taking in the grandeur of the Golden Summit Pack. Even the twins, Valentina and Isabella, usually chatterboxes, were silent as they absorbed the sight. It was almost too perfect, too calm—an i
With King Viktor seated in his sprawling office in the east wing of the castle. The room is a reflection of his power—walls lined with ancient tomes on pack history, detailed maps of the kingdom spread across a polished mahogany desk, and a faint scent of leather and wood smoke lingering in the air. The rising sun filters through the tall arched windows, casting golden light over the space.Viktor’s focus is sharp as he reviews the final details for the upcoming mating ball, his pen moving decisively across the parchment in front of him. The event isn’t just a gathering to find mates—it’s a political maneuver, one meant to strengthen alliances across packs and ensure the survival of their kind. Yet, as the king signs his name on the last invitation, his thoughts darken.A knock at the heavy oak door pulls him from his reverie. “Come in,” Viktor commands, his deep voice echoing in the quiet room.The door swings open, and his royal Beta, Manuel, steps in. Dressed in his formal attire,
The first rays of dawn painted the sky a bruised purple as Alpha Zach stood before the ravaged remains of the packhouse. He’d arrived to find chaos, a scene that reeked of betrayal and the lingering scent of his mate, Jade, gone. The air crackled with his simmering rage. His fists clenched, digging into his palms as his silver eyes scanned the wreckage. "Where is she?" he growled, the words a low rumble from deep in his chest. Christopher, Jade's father, stood before him, his face pale and pinched. "She...she escaped, Alpha. A rogue helped her," he stammered, his voice trembling. Zach's blood ran cold. A rogue? The thought of another male touching what was his, even in passing, sent a wave of pure, unadulterated fury through him. His lip curled into a snarl. "A rogue?" he hissed, the word laced with venom. "Who dares interfere with what is mine?" His words were a death sentence. The ground trembled as Zach unleashed his inner beast. He moved with the speed of a predator, his claws tea
The mood in the Crystal Blood Pack was tense as Jade and Gamma Lilly summoned the chosen members of their group to the strategy hall. The mission wasn’t just about survival—it was about gathering intel and potentially saving others who might be trapped under the King’s control. Jade stood at the head of the table, her Beta aura radiating calm authority as she addressed the group.“Thank you for coming,” she began, her eyes scanning the room. Beside her stood Lilly, ever the steady presence, and the selected team: Ashina and Tala, the fierce and loyal Deltas; Hati, the stoic Epsilon; Valentina and Isabella, the twins who had just turned twenty-one; and Irida, the newest member of the pack who had quickly proven herself to be resourceful and skilled.Jade’s voice was steady but firm as she continued. “We’ve been summoned by the Lycan King to attend the Moonlight Ball. His letter states it’s a gesture of peace, but we all know better. This isn’t just about mating bonds—it’s about control
Chapter 1: Am I Cursed?The soft hum of the forest breeze drifted through the open window of Jade Figueroa’s room, carrying the crisp scent of pine and earth. It was early morning, but Jade, a 19-year-old with wild dark curls and piercing gray eyes, was already wide awake, pacing the length of her bedroom. Her frustration was palpable, radiating off her in waves. She was a wolf of the Lake Crescent Pack, born into the powerful Figueroa bloodline, yet her life felt like a gilded cage.Her fingers trailed along the embroidered hem of her pale blue dress—her “training uniform.” It was a constant reminder of her purpose, or lack thereof. Ever since she had turned twelve, her father, Alpha Christopher Figueroa, had made it clear that she was nothing more than a tool to solidify alliances. Jade was expected to become a “perfect Luna,” trained to obey, smile, and never question her future Alpha.“Perfect Luna, my ass,” Jade muttered under her breath, her sharp tone slicing through the room....
