His eyes darkened, almost predatory. "I can’t stay away, even if I wanted to. I’ve been consumed with thoughts of having you." He paused, "And I could never watch another man claim you. Don’t worry, tiger. I’m not going to force you. But I’ll pursue you until you want me as much as I want you." He leaned back, eyes fixed on me. "I’ll uncover who hurt you and made you this way. And when I do, I’ll make sure he pays tenfold. It’s a promise." In a world where being “DIFFERENT” is abhorred, wolf-less Raya is shunned by her pack and betrayed by the two she trusted most—her mate, Alpha Draco, and her best friend, Melissa. When their betrayal costs Raya her life and unborn pup, the Goddess Selene grants her a second chance. Reborn into a different body as Hera, Raya vows revenge. But her plans are thrown into chaos when she discovers she is mated to Calhoun, the kingdom’s strongest Alpha, and two others—one of them a female whose love she never expected. Now caught in the crossfire of love, war, and an unyielding thirst for vengeance, Hera must make a choice: sacrifice everything for revenge, or dare to embrace a love that could ruin her.
View MoreHERA'S POVIt was a new dawn, and I stood before my mirror. The drapes in my room were pulled back, revealing nature's canvas, a clear blue sky and neatly trimmed hedges in the garden, I scrutinized my reflection. Today, I was going to meet important pack figures to discuss the pack economy. I needed to be polished if I intended to gain their respect,I had on a black sleeveless top, beige high-waisted trousers to hug my curves and a matching sweater draped over my shoulder. I threw on some minimal jewellery and rushed out of the room.While heading downstairs I bumped into the last person I wanted to see, Calhoun. I hissed, bumping into people was starting to become a habit,"Good morning tiger, I see you're in a hurry", his smile was fetching and even in the dim hallway his handsome face was as alluring as ever,"Yes, I am, Now please excuse me" I stated, attempting to walk past him,"Not so fast," He remarked, his outstretched hands blocking my path. He grabbed my waist and pinned
CALHOUN'S POV My pants were uncomfortably tight, my throbbing dick painfully hard. The unfulfilled urge to knot Hera drove both me and my wolf to the brink of madness.But that wasn’t why I was seething at the dining table. My pack had been attacked by hybrids. How they infiltrated us was still under investigation, but the attack had claimed the life of a werewolf and his child. I’d failed them.My wolf howled with rage, a sharp reminder of my duty. Protecting my pack came first, yet Alpha Draco’s shady dealings had stolen my focus. That distraction wouldn’t last much longer.The cold, murderous aura I emitted made Draco and my mate visibly uneasy. Their wolves bowed under my dominance, though Draco fought to hide it. Hera, however, avoided my gaze like the plague, her fidgeting only twisting the knife in my chest. Her cold words, still etched in my mind.What had scarred her so deeply? Beneath her tough facade, I saw a woman hurting. My goal was to find out why and take the pain aw
HERA'S POVHis touch was electric and ignited a fire in me. I wasn’t meant to feel this way, yet every part of my body hummed his name, yearning to be touched. My wolf paced restlessly in my mind, eager for him—this was her fault. I gathered my thoughts and struggled to free myself from his tight grip. “Let me go!” I demanded, my voice breathless.But he didn't listen. His gaze held me captive, dark pools, glistening with something primal, sending a shiver down my spine. He leaned into me, his hands shifting to hold my neck firmly. Every movement caused my heart to race.A dark smirk pulled at his lips, his voice low, husky, and dripping with desire. “Your words are my command, tiger, but I’ll have to disobey you this time.” The way he said it sparked a heat inside me that I couldn’t control, but I refused to let him see how badly it affected me. Shamelessly, I waited, heart pounding as he closed the distance between us. His lips brushed my neck, and I felt my pulse spike, my c
CALHOUN'S POVShe opened her mouth to speak but snapped it shut when no words came. Perhaps I was too direct. Too bad—I meant every word.“I’ll die before I let you have me!” she sneered, her glare fiery.The smile slipped from my lips. I stood and stalked toward her, gripping her chin between my thumb and forefinger. Her body betrayed her, reacting to my touch despite her defiance.“Don’t say that, Tiger. It’s not in your power to decide.” My voice was low, tinged with frustration. “Stop resisting the bond. You’re only torturing us both.”Her eyes flicked to my lips, but she yanked her gaze upward, replacing her fluster with a scowl. She pulled away, a storm of emotions swirling in her beautiful grey eyes.“Stay away from me and don’t get in my way,” she hissed.Flipping her hair, she stormed out, slamming the door behind her. Her lingering stormy scent was a torment to me and my wolf, who ached to claim her.I strode into the bathroom to prepare a shower. After almost a decade of se
HERA'S POVI glanced at Melissa, my heart pounding. “Let’s continue the tour at the south side.”She noticed the change in my demeanor. Her eyes narrowed with suspicion. “What’s wrong? Why did you suddenly change your mind?”She turned to look for whatever had caught my attention, but I grabbed her by the shoulder, turning her back. My voice firm, I let my authority seep through. “Let’s go. I’m not done exploring the pack.”She fell silent, but I could see the doubt lingering in her eyes as she led the way.I was lost in thought until Melissa’s voice cut through. “Why did you run from the Crescent Ball last night?”“I got overwhelmed and needed some air,” I said, trying to keep my tone neutral. “It had been a long time since I was in such a gathering.”The silence stretched, but her doubt was palpable. She pressed on. “I saw you being chased by Alpha Calhoun. What was that about?”The realization hit me like a punch. The man I’d been waiting for all night—Alpha Calhoun—was my mate.“U
HERA'S POVI tossed on the bed, consciousness creeping in as sunlight sliced through the curtains. Blinking against the glare, I groaned, “Ugh, yesterday was a disaster.”My thoughts drifted to the mate I met last night. Technically, he wasn’t my mate—he was Hera’s. Still, he’d managed to ruin everything I had carefully planned.With a huff, I threw the blanket aside and headed to the bathroom. At least I wouldn’t have to see him again, and hopefully, he had no clue I was from Silverfang. The last thing I needed was him chasing me. Love and mates? Not in this lifetime—or the next, if there was one.After a quick shower, I slipped into black boyfriend jeans and a cropped hoodie. The clothes were new, and thank Goddess Selene for that. Hera’s frilly wardrobe would’ve made me sick.It was 11 a.m. when I stepped into the hallway. The mansion’s ornate decor glared back at me—fancy paintings, stylish fluorescents, all reminders of the life Hera had run away from. Turning a corner, I nearly
HERA'S POV With Alpha Asher's possessive hold firmly around my waist, I stood on the palace balcony."Let's leave this place. What do you say?” His warm breath, which was strongly scented with alcohol, tickled my skin.His contact caused my jaw to tighten and my skin to prickle with irritation. A wave of desire hit me before I could react, it took my breath away. The most stunning dark blue eyes I had ever seen drew my attention to the French doors.It took all of my willpower to resist the want to jump into his arms as a pool of moisture gathered between my thighs.His clothing emphasized his broad shoulders and lean figure as he stood erect. His powerful features and prominent cheekbones were framed by strands of dark brown hair—a living embodiment of perfection.His gaze moved to Asher, and a low growl reverberated in his chest. Then he strode forward and threw a swift punch.“Asher!” I gasped as he staggered back, groaning.“Keep your hands off what’s mine, or I’ll cut them of
CALHOUN'S POV“Kill him,” I commanded coldly. A hybrid who dared to invade my land deserves no mercy.Hybrids, a mix of werewolf and human, often too arrogant to know their place—have always coveted purebred werewolf lands,It was during a war with their race that I lost someone dear; her death became my driving force to never let any harm come to the citizens of our kingdom.“Please, spare my life, ple—” His cries were cut short as my beta’s claws tore through his throat, silencing him forever.“Deliver his head to their king,” I said curtly, adjusting my tuxedo as I strode out of the dungeon, Logan trailing behind me.“We’ll be late by the time we arrive,” Logan remarked as we climbed the dimly lit staircase leading to the hallway.“What’s the saying again... hmm.” I paused, smirking.“Fashionably late is worth the wait,” Logan chuckled, finishing my thought.I grinned. The thought of seeing my brother, King Everon, at the Crescent Ball intrigued me. “It’s been too long since I visi
HERA’S POV “Mom, what do you think?” The words felt foreign like swallowing broken glass, wrong and jagged, yet somehow necessary to keep up this charade, “Oh, my darling, you look beautiful tonight! I’m sure you’ll catch the eye of one of those Alphas. It’s high time you settled down,” she gestured with a wink. I forced a smile. Adjusting to this new body, its memories —and those tied to it—was still difficult. Before meeting Draco, I had stayed locked away, knowing almost nothing about the Silverfang pack. Melissa’s sudden entrance into the sitting room broke my thoughts. She looked innocent, but my hostile glances betrayed what I knew, but for now I was going to play the long game of winning her love, only to betray her at death. Fixing my expression, I called out, “Hey, want to ride with me to the Crescent Ball?” Surprise flashed across her face. “Thanks, I’d like that,” she said, smiling. I grabbed my purse, and we both turned to leave the mansion. Now that I had a second c
RAYA'S POV My life had always been tragic—locked away, cast aside, and treated like I was nothing. I had long grown accustomed to the pain and hurt. But if I were to recall the moment my fragile heart truly shattered and my world crumbled, it would begin with this day—the day I lost my pup. It was a dim Friday afternoon. The clouds hung low, heavy and dark, threatening to unleash a downpour. The sun lingered patiently behind the gloom, waiting for its chance to illuminate the earth. And just like the sun, my only bright light was the three-foot bundle of joy bouncing happily beside me as we walked through the eerily quiet forest. Alpha Draco’s warning echoed in my mind, my mate's voice carrying its usual edge: “It's not safe to wander around in the forest at this time; be back in less than two hours. I shouldn't have to find you!” I sighed, my breath complementing the rustle of leaves and the murmurs of the creatures who called this place home. “Mummy, what’s wrong?” Lason asked–h...
