When the Alpha is murdered and Rogues seize control of the pack, Lyra is terrified. Stuck living underground under metres of ice does not stop the heat of the Full Moon. Nor does it stop leader Declan struggling with his history with the bunker. Declan is trying to prevent chaos and starvation, whilst fighting his wolfs yearning for Lyra. She must be ignored. The servant girl, a tainted daughter of the dead Alpha is off limits. However trapped together, every month soon becomes a passionate torture. Hurt by the past, Lyra refuses to let her guard down, even as her heart melts. Rogues are not meant to be trusted, but could it be the secrets she has hidden that bring the pack down?

Chapter 1

1. Lyra

Panic is rising. You can smell it in the air. There are maybe only hours until the Freeze descends. Every servant, including myself, hurries goods down into the packs underground concrete base for the next six months.

Luna Corina still has trunks of furs and gowns to transport. We are her, vile, scuttling bugs. We say nothing because her slaps and pinches are nothing compared to her father. To be truthful,he is my father too, not that he has done anything but add to the suffering in my life.

Valdis is a tyrant of an Alpha, delighting in the life or death power he wields. 

Especially at this time of the year. Metres of snow is due to fall any day. Vast, lethal ice fields form that even the thickest, furriest wolf cannot withstand. We are hundreds of miles from the next settlement. 

Once that bunker door slams shut, you can’t hear the begging of those trapped outside. Those first burials are the worst jobs of spring. It never gets easier. Alpha Valdis was more willing to make an example of an unfortunate slave who caught his eye.

Above ground was a stone fortress, the packhouse for the other months of the year. I stood in one of the turrets, gathering piles of furs in my arms. For the briefest moment I paused and gazed at the view. Nothing but cragged, snowy black mountains for miles. 

Getting through each Freeze was like surviving a shipwreck and not being eaten by sharks. Except we have to keep going through it every year.

How much fear can you endure before your brain is rewired to trust nothing?

My silver-haired friend Elvie and I had extra work due to Mara being taken to Valdis’ quarters again last night.  To refuse was death, to attempt escape this close to winter was no better.

Numbed by fear, we long stopped dreaming beyond the cragged mountain horizon. So with a trembling head of golden blonde hair and tearful blue eyes Mara had silently stumbled towards his chamber.

Elvie and I stayed up waiting, praying that the screams we heard were from an injured animal and not our best friend. 

Female servants wear long plum velvet gowns with gold-buttoned fronts. Luna Corina wore rich silks, warmed by the immaculately pale polar furs. She draped them over her bare skin, the ice princess. 

We shared long, raven-black hair and green eyes. I sometimes wondered if we would have looked alike had I been fed properly during my younger years. Instead I was a petite figure, enabling her to always look down on me.

The apple of the Alpha’s eye, Corina had eagerly developed his taste for cruelty too.

I am thankfully safe from the Alpha’s vicious sexual interest. Only because I carry the shame of being his offspring. The daughter of a madman. I was born from one of his many previous assaults on other servants during his twenty year reign. 

Guilt that I was safe pushed me to care for all of his victims. Nurse of the whores Luna Corina once described me. 

I never get used to seeing what he is capable of. Even with shifter healing, poor Mara was a mash of purple, green and brown bruises today, one blue eye swollen beyond recognition. 

I guided Mara into the dark backrooms of the underground bunker. Dragging her mangled frame down the stairs broke my heart as she tried to muffle her cries. 

“Lyra, he will kill me soon, I can’t do another Freeze down there, with him…” she whispered. A sickly cough from being forced to crawl back to us in the cold left her spluttering.

“I won’t let it happen, I’ll always try to look after you,” I soothed, adding some minted balm to her sores.

Softly whimpering under her tattered blankets, blue eyes wide and frightened. “What can we do though?”

For that I had no answer.

With regret in my heart, I had to leave Mara and return to work. Musty air, grey brick walls and red, painted concrete floors. Strip lighting above. Once the huge metal vaulted door shut  this was our world. Protected from the deathly cold outside by entombing ourselves.

“Lyra!” came Elvie’s shrill cry from the bottom of the stairs. “I’ve got to prep the Black Hall, can you handle the rest of the furs on your own?”

Looking out from Luna Corina’s turreted bedroom window the sun was already setting, soon it would be so cold every limb prickled agonisingly. “Yeah, sure, I’ve got it!” 

Setting up the Black Hall gave me the creeps anyway. When the full moon hits and a load of Alpha and Beta hormones combine with cabin fever it turns crazy. The Black Hall is where anything goes for a night.

Pulsing music, hardly any light and soft furnishings allowed sweating, grunting knotted couplings to take place under a veil of semi-anonymity. Its power thrills and terrifies me.

Once the full moon's power ebbed away, nothing was discussed. Real relationships underground were completely forbidden. Every woman was claimed as Valdis’ property already anyway. Only on a full moon did his men cut loose and they took every minute of it.

My fear of the Black Hall is why I risk my life at the back of Luna Coraline’s tower. During summer I tend to a small, lavender like bush called monk's pepper. It has medicinal powers, but mainly, it lowers one's sex drive. 

I make a strong, foul-smelling tea with it and it takes the edge off, just enough to keep myself sane and out the Hall. Seriously, painfully aroused, but sane. 

Without it I dread what my wolf would succumb to. Never again I mutter. Harvesting the final pale purple flowerheads a few days ago, they hang in a small bag flat to my waist.

Our cruel Alpha suspended the Black Hall one month during the last Freeze. Two fired-up Beta’s killed each other over nothing. Without a way to disperse the full moon tension even his most steadfast Beta’s could turn savage. 

Valdis spent most of the freeze in his luxurious, cosy, fur-lined chambers. No concrete misery in his world. He wore his long dirty black hair plaited into huge twisting coils. He stank of sweat, musk and filth. He enjoyed being an Alpha with no class. Those long, matted coils move like snakes down his muscular, tattooed back. 

He was Alpha not because of his superior bloodline, but because he was a brutal, murderous psychopath. Over twenty years ago he murdered the ruling Ragnar family and took over. Corina was the product of him assaulting the dethroned Luna after his victory, proclaiming her a princess. 

I am merely one of many accidents from his obsession with servants. The others illegitimates all tripped up in some small way and found themselves dead. Only Corina and I remain. 

Surviving amongst the violence of a bloodthirsty Alpha has left me hardened. There is a shell around me that nobody will ever break through. Trust nobody. Not even Mara and Elvie, though I love their company. 

It is how I survive this so-called life of mine. No physical contact with another soul if I can help it. Mates, love, adoration, they’re for the others in this world. The ones I dare not envy for fear my sanity will break.

To Readers

The novel is written by Alle and readers find the story intriguing and unique. The story is about werewolf adventure, romance, and betrayal. In the encounter with the rogues, Declan is trying to protect Lyra. While the rogues inevitably hurt Lyra, she was close to her death, and Declan became out of his mind. His agony led him to think and do things that were not meant to be - including making love with Corina. While Lyra was hiding in Corina's room and faking her disappearance, Declan hasn't been any smarter. On the other hand, Corina slowly falls for Declan...

Spectacular and surprising from beginning to end. I had theories of the plot at many times and was proven wrong almost every time. This book has it all; multiple plot twists, original setting lovable and hatable persona, life and dear. Tangible fear and unbridled happiness. Must read!

2. Lyra
We all dealt with our situation differently. Mara was naturally curvier, all hips, thighs and breasts despite our meagre food rations. She enjoyed attending the Black Hall despite everything. She allowed herself to forget, for a few hours, lost in the heat, muscle and power of any man's touch. Her rounded thighs bore the mark of different hand prints every time . Elvie wanted love. Above ground, during spring she refused to associate with any man. She was the only one of us three who still looked at the horizon and imagined living over there, away from the cold and the fear. Underground, she dived enthusiastically into the anonymous antics every full moon. I have never ventured inside the Black Hall. My wolf pushes me to feel something, anything but I can’t cross that line. I have enough fear in my life without risking someone I despise taking the last of my dignity from me. I doubted I would enjoy the dark, unrecognisable touches even if I allowed my heat to overwhelm me. “You

3. Declan
The crew has been planning this for months and that bastard Valdis had no idea. He withdrew his scouts as the Freeze approached, just as we knew he would. We walked right up to the fucking door. Nearly all the crew are the offspring of people he has murdered. Joined together in shared hatred for the tyrant that has dominated the northern half of our world. Trekking through the tall black mountains none of us said a word. Memories of this place ran too deep, scars reopened. I could have started a new life, down in the warmer southern lands. Never see snow and ice again, endure another Freeze. Allow my wolf to shift form and prance along the fucking beach without a care. Except I can’t. For twenty years, since a small boy of seven, my dreams have been filled with burning visions of what he took from me. Every mirror reminds me of what Valdis left me with instead. We knew if we waited until the final hours before the Freeze struck we could take them by surprise. Half a dozen pur

The scent of terror mixed with the metallic tang of blood. We had all heard that last hail of bullets. I was crouched with Elvie in one of the grey shelf-filled storerooms. We didn’t lock the door, hoping anyone searching would just casually glance and walk away. The shouts and sounds of those being gathered up echoed throughout the building. “Where are they taking everyone?” Elvie whispered. “It must be the Black Hall, that’s the only space big enough for everyone?” “They might be setting us free, lets go!” Elvie whispered quickly. Her long silvery hair had come out of its bun and hung around her shoulders. “Are you insane! We’ve just survived a massacre! They’ll be setting up a firing squad next!” “If they’ve killed Valdis, I’ll bow down and give them anything they want,” Elvie muttered, “those guys can’t possibly be worse.” I thought of poor Mara. Valdis has almost completely broken her spirit. His Beta’s too. Ronan and the rest had made our lives hell. I don’t think about

5. Declan
This phase had been the hardest plan to gain approval from the others. A lot of the Rogue committee had wanted to kill everyone outright. Slit the throat of every man, woman, even child and leave it scorched once the team survived winter. Burn the place to the ground with them all in it. I had argued for a fairer method. I wanted to kill Valdis, but not at the expense of becoming just like him. The bunker and fortress served an important purpose. Just because Valdis had sat on the powers available underground didn’t mean they were gone forever. In the end the compromise was agreed. Allow those who wanted to attempt safe passage. Realistically it was almost impossible without vehicles. Perhaps those who were determined, smart and resourceful might get far enough before the huge ice sheets and blinding snow descended. I would not lose sleep over the Beta’s who wanted to attempt it. The one with the tattooed face was making me itch to fire another bullet. The way his icy eyes glared a

Only when Declan left the room did I shakily exhale. Even when he shot Warren. I was drawn like a magnet to that bearded, grizzled face. He viciously smeared Ronan against the wall, I still couldn't stop staring. Those dark eyes had a power I had never experienced before. Would he really shoot us too? If not him, what about these eleven new men? All of them, clad in black leather, look pissed. Especially when Coraline outed me, I could feel the heat of their eyes. Declan promises freedom but that is an easy declaration to make at the start of a Freeze. He could be lying through his teeth. Elvie immediately walked off, chattering excitedly with another girl about freedom. Punishing me for not leaving with the Beta’s into the Freeze. Mara had passed out on my legs, her body hot and clammy. Corina stood over me, a grin of triumph on her face. “You know, I’m going to introduce myself properly to Declan. My life won’t be changing here so neither will yours.” Then she trotted off do

7. Declan
I’ve killed at least half a dozen people today, let’s leave it there. The mantra I repeat as Corina flutters after me. People fly about, the corridors bustling with activity as every survivor tries to prove their worth, each Rogue watching them like a hawk. Leaning against the doorway, studying me as I rummage through the first of the ex-Alphas rooms, she acts the queen. The bedsheet has been abandoned. Instead the red silk gown has been tied at her shoulder, only just keeping her heaving tits concealed. “Checking through my fathers possessions Declan? Maybe I can help?'' Her voice is light and sickeningly friendly. Disguising her nature like a snake in the grass. That breathy, gaspy little thing women do to sound weak and vulnerable annoys the hell out of me. However I may need her. If the tattooed Ronan has no good information it may come down to her to get us through the Freeze. With a surly growl, “I am checking every room in this entire place.” “Well, let me know when you com

8. Corina
I'm still the queen of this hellhole. The past two weeks have been a tightrope walk. The Rogues appear to be telling the truth about being non-violent. There have been no beatings, no floggings conducted. I think they’re fools. The Freeze arrived the same night they came and murdered my father. I pretend not to care but the metal doors clanking shut for the last time always makes my heart sink. It is so…final. We are now entombed under tonnes of ice and snow. You know it has hit the severest depths when the wailing wind of the storms above falls silent. Like a submarine, if shit goes down underneath the surface, there is absolutely no way out. Fire, starvation, flooding. Even if you got the bunker doors open you can’t get through the metres of ice. So I say a few floggings, maybe a throat slitting of a few slaves is justifiable to keep peace. Especially since I have no fucking idea where my father kept the safe codes for the back end of the stint. Ronan is the only one alive wh

9. Lyra
Striding away from Corina I am distracted and irritated. Losing my stash of monk pepper flowers has left me vulnerable. I have to avoid succumbing to the Black Hall. I am afraid if I let go, lose control everything will fall apart. I will crumble and fail Or sass Corina. The temptation to put the bucket on her head was so strong I could taste it. It only quenched when Declan appeared. Then a whole other form of temptation reared its head. How can someone possibly ooze fear and safety at the same time? His broad body, clad in a dark charcoal top is terrifyingly strong. He could kill me without blinking, those brown eyes dragging me into a willing trance. At night I still replay the memory of him stroking my cheek. Then I scold myself for being pathetic. After all, he did nothing to protect me today. He let Corina banish me to the laundry. Frustrated at how easily I let me guard down around him, I didn’t notice her following me. “Lyra.” I stop in my tracks, head bowed, braced f

I stand by everything I said. Lyra bristled with anger, not that she looked at me. Howen simply raised his eyebrow and strode away. I replayed my words, perhaps a bit brutal but still the truth. It wouldn't matter if she was my damned mate from the Moon Goddess herself. To yield again would be a betrayal of everything my family suffered. I repeated that same thought as her footsteps reappeared. Yet my gaze flew to her anyway. Her shapely, slim legs. The in and out of her hips on show in that purple dress, carrying a box too wide for her arms. Her long black hair was still damp, loosely trailing past her shoulder blades. It gave me unwanted visions of her in the shower. Soapy, dripping, yielding to my presence. My cock jumped to attention, my wolf gnawing at me to say something. “Do you need any help?” She either doesn’t hear, or is too pissed off with me to answer. She vanished round the corner instead. Ignoring the irritation from my wolf I remind myself some distance would be
