“…Poor you, you’ll never know what it feels like to litter. It's a pity that your womb is barren,” her co-mate said mockingly, cradling her own bump. “Do not challenge my stay here because I’m the reason why you’re still Luna, Ivory. I’m the source of Alpha’s happiness. You're just the ceremonial Luna!” Betrayed by her Alpha and falsely condemned by her own pack, Ivory’s life is tragically cut short. But her innocent spirit catches the moon goddess's attention. Granted a second chance, Ivory is reborn with a new identity, strength, captivating beauty, and fertility, ready to forge a new destiny. Scarred by her past, she swears off love, shielding her heart from deceitful men. But then she meets him — the formidable Alpha King, who loves her unconditionally. The king’s love challenges her resolve, and she's torn between vengeance and redemption. Will she move on with her newly found life, or will she go ahead and take revenge? How will she navigate her new peace and identity and fight the people who killed her with no mercy in her previous life? Updating schedule: daily update
View More~Alpha King Zeeb~For a moment, I was transfixed, wondering what was going on in the pack house. A knot of unease tightened in my stomach. I simply couldn't believe Heather had anything to do with Sia’s demise. The thought was absurd, a cruel twist of fate I refused to accept. I dismissed the ugly thought, I trusted Heather. If someone was playing an ugly mind game in my household, woe betides the person. My Alpha instinct screamed that someone within was toiling with my mind. But what baffled me most was how several events happened within the pack house walls without my knowledge. It was a disturbing breach of security. Since then, a string of dysfunctions has followed, like a curse upon my leadership. But this latest setup—I was utterly confused about it. Could it have anything to do with Logan? The thought sent a chill down my spine.What if he had planted it as a decoy, a carefully orchestrated distraction to divert our attention from other, more sinister things? It would be a c
~Ivory~“But Zeeb….”“No buts, Heather. I can’t tolerate her disrespect anymore. She dared mingle with Logan,” he said, interrupting Heather, his voice laced with anger.Something deep within me whispered that I shouldn't be privy to this conversation, that I should discreetly withdraw. Yet, an invisible force held me captive, my feet rooted to the spot. Aurora and Logan? What web of secrets was I stumbling upon?“You heard her clearly; she said she was trying to get into Logan’s head. She’s indirectly helping you, Zeeb,” Heather tried to reason desperately. She clearly believed in Aurora’s intentions, but the King was unmoved.“That’s it, Heather. Not another word about Aurora. Helping me?” he scoffed, “Not when she’s having an affair with him,” he said with disgust, the words hanging heavy in the air.The revelation hit me hard, and I stared wide-eyed. Aurora involved with Logan? I instinctively turned to retreat, desperate to escape the uncomfortable exchange between them. I want
~Alpha Zeeb~As soon as we arrived back at the packhouse, we were met with a ruckus. "What happened?" I frowned, demanding answers. The air was thick with tension; it was clear that something must’ve happened in our absence. I almost lost it when I found out that Riley was sick. A wave of dread passed through me, replacing my initial confusion. Why hadn't anyone informed me? The thought that neither Heather nor Jerome found it “important enough” for me to know enraged me. My daughter’s safety was my utmost priority, and I would drop everything I was doing for her. Maya put her hands on my shoulders, and instantly, my nerves calmed down, taming my wolf. I took some deep breaths, trying to regain control of my emotions. She asked the maiden what the situation was, and I couldn’t help but notice and applaud how calmly she handled it. Maya’s composure was admirable, especially in such a stressful situation. She had a knack for diffusing tension and maintaining order. That was one trait
~Alpha Alaric’s POV~My fist clenched in a desperate attempt to contain the fury that was threatening to erupt. I was barely holding back from throttling Valerie. My wolf, still distant and withdrawn after Ivory’s execution, remained frustratingly indifferent to the escalating conflict between Valerie and me. His usual protective instincts and fierce loyalty were all absent, leaving me to deal with my rage alone. He said he couldn’t care less what happens. “What in the hell is wrong with you, Valerie? Have you completely lost your mind? How could you be so utterly irresponsible?” I barked, my voice laced with barely suppressed rage. She merely scoffed dismissively, fueling my anger even more, and then turned her back to me as if I were an annoying insect. It was shocking to see her manipulate things and act like I was the one who wronged her instead. “Don’t you dare insult me, Alaric. I did what needed to be done since you refused to lift a finger.” Her sharp tone was laced with b
~Ivory~A warm smile spread across her face as she drew me into a comforting embrace. It felt like being enveloped in a soft blanket, and I struggled to hold back the tears that threatened to spill.“Good job, Maya.”It was the first time a motherly figure had offered me such genuine praise. It was something I had longed for my entire life, and the fact that it came from the King’s mother meant the world to me.She pulled back slightly, pressing a tender kiss to my forehead before turning her gaze to Riley’s sleeping form. “I hear you’re quite close to Heather… how is she coping with her upcoming marriage?”I smiled politely. “She’s managing well, though I think she’s hiding some stress.”A slight frown creased her brow. “Then what’s causing her sour mood? Something’s amiss; she doesn’t seem like the lively Heather I know.” Her voice was laced with worry, revealing her deep affection for those she cared about.“Perhaps it’s just the pressure of the wedding,” I offered reassuringly, th
~Ivory~I stirred, blinking against the encroaching light. I turned to find myself nestled in the King’s arms. He was already awake. Offering a sweet smile, he pulled me into a deep kiss. “You are angelic,” he murmured. “Even upon waking, you are beautiful.”I blushed at his compliment, sinking further into his chest and inhaling his sweet scent. I don't think I could ever get over how much my wolf and I wolf it. He pressed me closer. “I can’t function without you by my side, Maya,” he confessed. I was at a loss for words, unable to formulate a fitting reply.I hummed in response, knowing that if I looked at him, my eyes would betray my unspoken feelings. The truth was, I was equally attached to the King. I longed to know everything about him: his daily activities, his companions, his loves, his fears, his secrets, his burdens—everything. I wanted him to share it all with me.I knew this might seem hypocritical, especially as I was keeping secrets from him. I dreaded the day he would
~Alpha King Zeeb~With a contented smile, I turned to Maya, whose face was flushed crimson. Her eyes gleamed as she met my gaze. This was a new beginning for us, a significant turning point.Maya’s willingness to be intimate with me confirmed what I longed to know: she desired me as much as I desired her.Zerric howled with satisfaction, urging me to seize the moment and mark her fully. But then, a familiar vision flashed before my eyes, the same one that had haunted me in the past. The sense of déjà vu was overwhelming, the familiarity... Could it be Maya?Was she the same woman I’d seen in my visions, running, desperate for rescue? The same woman crying out in anguish?I looked at her. Her face had paled, her irises wide with a look of utter disorientation, as if she were lost in a trance. “Maya?” I called, but she didn’t respond, lost in her own subconscious world.“Maya!” I said, my voice louder this time, snapping her back to reality. I was
~Ivory~“Luna Maya?” Professor Talisman’s voice cut through my thoughts, pulling me out of my daze. His tone held genuine concern. “Is everything alright?”Clearing my throat, I gave a shaky laugh, glancing at her once more. “Uh, yeah. Sure. Everything’s fine.”“Nice to meet you, Luna Maya,” Mrs Nora said, bowing slightly and extending her hand for a shake. Her smile…it was hauntingly familiar—almost like mine.I took her hand, my own trembling slightly, and exchanged pleasantries. “I hope you have a memorable experience here,” she added warmly before stepping aside.As Professor Talisman continued speaking about the upcoming assessment and the headquarter’s policies, my mind drifted far away. Mrs. Nora. Could it be that she is…..? No, it can’t be. My mother was declared dead. This couldn’t be her. But the resemblance was uncanny, it almost made my head hurt. I had to find out who this woman was, or whether she was somehow connected to my mother.The Kin
~Alpha King Zeeb~ I approached Maya slowly, seating myself right in front of her. Zeric purred uncontrollably with excitement as soon as I touched her hand. Her scent wafted through the air, nearly knocking me off my feet. The earlier tension I had been holding on to seemed to evaporate. “I offended you last night, didn’t I?” I asked softly, bracing myself for her reaction. I expected her to pull her hands away, but to my surprise, she didn’t. She merely avoided my gaze. Her silence was louder than any words, and I realized she wasn’t angry at me—she was disappointed. Her disappointment cut deeper than I anticipated. Anger, I could handle. If she had cursed at me or yelled, it wouldn’t have hurt as much as the way she looked at me now. I reached for her cheek, brushing my fingers gently against her skin. She leaned into my touch slightly, and I forced her eyes to meet mine. For a moment, I just wanted her to look at me—truly look at me.
(IVORY’S POV)Disappointment gnawed at my chest as I listened to Alaric’s infuriating voicemail message—again."Hi, you’ve reached Alaric’s voicemail. I can’t take this call right now, but please leave a..." The robotic tone fueled my rage. Cutting the call for the umpteenth time, I threw the phone onto the nearest couch as my chest tightened with frustration. Damn it! I paced our large, exquisitely furnished room, my mind racing with thoughts of my husband, Alaric. His scent, usually a comforting mix of sandalwood and musk, lingered in the room as usual, reminding me of his disappointing absence. It was our third anniversary, a day that should be filled with his love and warmth. Yet, here I was, alone and waiting. A few hours left, and the day will be over. How could he possibly choose tonight to come home late? I sneered. I glanced at my outfit, the Catwoman costume I thought he’d find playful. Now it felt silly, desperate. I touched my stomach absentmindedly, a gesture that ha...
