In a werewolf country cursed to be forever cold, Evadne wished under the full moon for many years to find her mate and escape from her hell of a home where her father, Alpha Marcus of the Moonflame Pack, and Elodie, Evadne’s sister, constantly made sure her day won’t end without her being bullied or beaten by them. When she finally turned eighteen years old, Evadne find her mate, Alpha Gregor of the Fireheart Pack. She promised him that she would be the best mate and Luna for him. However, Elodie reveals he’s her fiance and boyfriend and begs the Alpha to ruthlessly reject her in front of the whole Moonflame Pack at Evadne’s very own birthday party. Evadne’s heart became even more shattered when her father banished her and ordered her to never return to their lives when she humiliated his favorite daughter, Elodie, on that same night. Alone, she was imprisoned in the dungeons of a pack that thought she was a Rogue—when it was attacked by the Alpha King’s forces since the said pack was the only remaining one who refused to bow down to him. As she tried to escape the ensuing chaos, she met him, and never had she thought that the Moon Goddess would let her second-chance mate be Alpha King Kallias himself—the cause of the eternal winter and now the most feared Alpha.
View MoreEverything could go wrong with this winter dinner with the dread I feel. It increases the closer I get to the Alpha King’s private dining room.“The Luna is here, Alpha King,” then Farra shut the door behind me. I remained standing in the foyer, internally screaming. It overlooks the entire Nightblood Pack on the highest floor of the castle. I don’t know why but when I think of the pack’s name, I think of bloody red and onyx night as their colors. But instead, it’s a varying shade of silver or white and blue. Even here. The interior looks as if it was made of ice—or glass, I cannot tell. On my right was an alight fireplace.The Alpha King’s back faces me, sitting on the same chair that looks between ice and glass. His personal dining throne.He turned to me. I only put my clenched two hands behind me. That dread silenced, but it remained.“Come. Sit across me.”I looked beyond him, and there, the balcony that looked half the room's size beckoned. I could already smell the food from he
I hear a sickening scream. It was not an ordinary scream, it was a shriek for help. A shriek for help when someone’s about to die.I lifted my head from the snowy ground just as the white wolf embedded its teeth into the screaming pregnant female’s neck and shoulder.“NO!” I roared and scrambled to my feet. She looks familiar. Her dark hair and blue eyes are the same as mine.My mother. That’s my mother.“MOTHER!”For once, I thought I never knew what she looked like. But I remember there was a painting of her in my father’s library, hidden and tucked away from sight. I looked exactly like her. I think that’s why my family hates me: we bear the same face but it’s only me who managed to survive.I rushed towards her. But I’m surrounded by at least a dozen wolves preventing me from getting from my pregnant mother. I halted. My eyes dart around as their presence suffocates me, circling me, blocking my path to save her.I’m in deep shit. They’re going to attack at once.And when I blink a
We passed by that brothel-looking building where Geneva says Betas and Omegas secretly meet. The Nightblood Pack wasn’t as big as I expected. Yes, it’s three or four times bigger than the Moonflame Pack. But as the abode of the Alpha King, I expected it to be like a whole quarter of our country. “Alpha Kallias rarely do let the packs he conquered stay here. He sometimes just let the Alphas that ruled them remain in power, but of course not above him. No one is above the King,” she glanced at me. “Perhaps only the Queen...in bed.” I choked. “What?” The Beta just chuckled and looped her arm into mine, “Tell me, what’s your favorite position, Evadne?” “Position?” The breakfast in my stomach stirred. Please don’t let it be the position I’m thinking of. “Sex positions.” Mara howled in laughter at me. I growled at her. “I...I never have sex. Yet.” “Yet?” she chuckled even further. “Oooh. I didn’t
“You are my mate,” Kallias breathed. “Your chamber will be in the east part of the Winter Castle overlooking the White Forest. An Omega servant will take you there.” Indeed, the huge doors opened and an Omega was already waiting for me. I pivoted and Kallias was already on his throne. “Thank you.” I don’t know if the throne is made of ice or glass or perhaps from the frozen tears of his enemies, I don’t know. Though the latter is what is rumored to be what his throne is made of. I looked up, and I just noticed that the center of the roof was hollow. Open. Snowflakes drifted endlessly from the sky, but it never touched the ground. As if prevented by some magic or power that only the Alpha King possesses. I didn’t speak any further. As I exited the too-white throne room, I realized how silent here was. I think I don’t even hear my footsteps, as if this magnificent Winter Castle swallowed all the noise except the whi
Rarely do I see the sun's face, thanks to the harsh winter often visiting the Moonflame Pack. But here in the abode of the Nightblood Pack, sometimes winters are soft depending on the Alpha King’s mood according to Geneva. But there are times that it is as cold as his icy eyes per Caesar’s words. Today is mildly cold. I’ll take it as a good sign that he’s in a good mood. Maybe it has something to do with me, finally finding his mate?I shrugged. I'm too assuming of things.I looked ahead of me. The castle was a towering, dazzling white as if the Moon Goddess crafted it herself. It’s a beacon in the distance and the exterior seemed to glow as if the moon was perched atop a snow-capped mountain like some ice palace I once read as a bedtime story when I was young. “Do you think he’s happy?” I asked with a rather curious voice. “Do you think the Alpha King Kallias is happy to finally find his mate?” “I think everyone is happy to find their m
Dawn arrived, and it didn’t take too long to guess which pack won. Bright red blood stained the snow like rubies swimming in the moonlight. Before the hours of the fighting in the dead of night, the Alpha King brought me to his camp nearby where his pack healers and Omega servants are, and then left without a word. The silver chains’ hold around my wrist results in an itching reddish mark. But the healers already made me feel better. I'm no longer thirsty or hungry or hallucinating. Though my body still badly ached, at least I managed to have a sound sleep. I am the Alpha King’s mate, the only one he encountered. While to me...he was my second chance. Mara was more joyous today than when we found out Alpha Gregor was our mate. She kept on howling cheerfully non-stop now. I don’t know if I should be happy. Fear still washed over me like a rising tide, drowning me until I could not breathe. I inhaled and exhaled thr
The wolves come at night, and their howls are as soft as thunder.It was a childhood saying I used to hear when I was young. It pertains to the style of attack of an Alpha King and his pack. They never attack at daylight. They always sneak at night and only then you’ll hear their howl when they’re surrounding you.I blinked at the two white wolves before us. I slid my eyes at the Blackwind Pack soldiers. They have nowhere to run as the hallway of the dungeon is also filled with screams and the sound of flesh being torn apart.I swallowed. Perhaps I will not only be fighting the snowy storm; I'll also be fighting a battle tonight that is not mine.“Evadne!” A voice called my name, and I don’t know if it’s real or just a fragment of my desperation. I remained on the floor, still chained to the wall.I think I’ll be dying with the Blackwind Pack tonight. The storm I spotted earlier happens not to be just a storm. It was the Alpha King’s army approaching, ready to sweep the en
“Shit!” I cursed under my breath. I shouldn’t have lingered longer than ten minutes in that river.“Go send a mind-link to your father and sister. They probably heard you’re captured now considering it’s already sundown,” Mara said to me.“They will not answer,” I sucked a sharp breath between my teeth. “They never answer.”“You haven’t even yet tried. Perhaps they will this time.” I groaned but Mara was right. There’s no harm in trying.“Fine,” I stomped my foot.I looked up at the little cut in the wall opposite me. The light from the sun has now turned orange hues into the shades of twilight. Minutes from now, the night will awaken. And winters are harsher when darkness descends.I just hope there will be no storm tonight, or I’ll definitely sleep while battling one.***It seems my fear attracted the storm since the cool wind suddenly changed. On the horizon, in the last ray of the setting sun, I spotted a storm brewing. Approaching this pack, approaching me.I closed my eyes and
I shifted and let Mara take control of my form as soon as we’re in the vastness of the White Woods.She’s going faster day by day. That’s what my father and sister don’t know. They keep saying I am weak and slow, they don’t know that Mara has talents of her own.With Mara running, we continued to channel all my anger and hatred and disdain by turning them into the strength we spent running through the snowy forest. It was a labyrinth of frost-covered foliage and frozen trees, but Mara’s icy breath didn’t stop her.Now that I’m away from my so-called family, now that I’m as far from the Moonflame Pack as possible...I feel a little bit of a sense of relief. Not a little bit, but an absolute sense of relief. It was as if a large thorn that had been embedded in my side for years had finally been removed.Mara ran and ran, letting the morning winter breeze caress our moon-white fur. It was also our companion as we traversed the white forest.After hours of running, we heard the sound of fl
