“By all means, do as you please. Run away as far as you can but keep one thing in mind, I'm going to find you. I'll follow you, Jaselyn. I'll stalk you like you're my prey and I'll catch you.” His warm breath brushes against my neck and I realize just then that he'd somehow bridged the distance between us. “I’ll make you mine over and over again till I become embedded in your DNA. You'll never be free of me.” His hand brushes against the side of my face, caressing almost lovingly while he says such chilling words to me. All of this feels like a farce, one big stupid comedy but a sad smile tugs at my lips when I realize this is my life. “I’ll give you everything and then I'll take it away. You'll always be mine, Jaselyn Everhart. Always.” *** Jaselyn just wants to make it out of the Pack. Living with her abusive uncle after her parents' death, she dreams of saving up enough to finally run away. That's until she meets her mate at the annual Peace ball and is claimed by him, only to be rejected the very next day. But here's the catch, her mate and the Alpha of the Pack, Zane Black, has kidnapped her and he demands that she bear children for his Luna. This book explores dark themes, reader discretion is advised.

Chapter 1

Jaselyn's POV 

Pain has a scent. It’s sharp and metallic, like blood on steel. It sinks into you, saturating every breath, clinging to your skin until it becomes impossible to tell where it ends and you begin. I thought I understood pain before today. I thought I had lived it, endured it. But this was different.

This was agony, and it had Zane’s name on it.

The morning light filtered through the tall windows, golden and soft, a cruel contradiction to the cold reality settling over me. The memories come flashing back quickly. The Peace Ball, his captivating scent, those soft words whispered. His touch. I sat up slowly, the sheets pooling around my waist as I looked at him. He stood near the window, already dressed, his back to me. His posture was rigid, deliberate.

“Get dressed,” he said, his voice low and unfamiliar.

I blinked, confused, clutching the sheet to my chest. “What?”

He turned, and his amber eyes met mine. The warmth I had drowned in last night—the tenderness that had made me believe in miracles—was gone. In its place was something distant, calculating.

“Last night was a mistake,” Zane responded.

I froze. The words didn’t make sense. They couldn’t. “A…mistake?” I managed, my voice barely above a whisper.

Nila, my wolf, growled deep within me. He’s ours, she said, her voice thick with panic. He can’t mean this.

Zane didn’t flinch. “Whatever you thought this was, it isn’t. I have a Luna. I have responsibilities. You don’t fit into my life.”

My chest tightened, and I could feel my pulse pounding in my ears. “You’re my mate,” I pleaded, each word trembling under the weight of my desperation.

He froze for a moment, his jaw tightening. I thought I saw something flicker in his eyes—hesitation, guilt—but it vanished as quickly as it came. “Not anymore.”

The air in the room turned frigid, and I felt Nila recoil, whimpering softly in the back of my mind. “No,” I murmured, shaking my head. “No, you don’t mean that. The bond—”

“The bond means nothing,” he interrupted, his voice sharp enough to cut. He stepped closer, looming over me. “I, Zane Black, Alpha of the Moon Blood Pack, reject you, Jaselyn Everhart, as my mate and Luna.”

The pain came instantly. It wasn’t just emotional—it was physical, a tearing, searing agony that ripped through my chest like claws. I gasped, clutching at my heart as I doubled over. A scream tore from my throat, raw and guttural, as if the rejection had reached into the depths of my soul and shattered it into pieces.

Nila howled in anguish, her cries echoing in my mind. The bond that had tied us, the connection that had felt unbreakable, was unraveling strand by strand.

Through the haze of pain, I saw Zane standing there, unmoving. His expression was unreadable as I writhed on the floor, tears streaming down my face.

“Please,” I gasped, my voice breaking as I reached out to him.

He stepped back, his face hardening. “Don’t,” he said sharply. “Don’t touch me.”

“Why?” The word tumbled from my lips, broken and desperate. “Why are you doing this?”

His jaw tightened, but he didn’t answer. Instead, he turned and walked out of the room, leaving me behind with nothing but the scent of cedarwood and rose lingering in the air—a cruel reminder of what I had lost.

“Jaselyn, Jas? Jas!” Nila called, breaking me out of my shell shocked state. “You have to get up, we have to go.” She said and I scoffed.

“Why? What's the use? It doesn't matter what he does anymore, does it? He betrayed us, he rejected us.” I remind her.

“Yes, all of that is true but it's not the end of the world. I understand how you feel, I can't explain how hurt I feel right now, it's like a part of me was stripped away. The precious connection nurtured by Selene was suddenly broken away but it doesn't mean we should wallow in self pity. Have you forgotten the plans we had? Let's save a lot and leave the Pack, I'm sure we'll find happiness somewhere else, mate or not.” Nila tried to encourage me but I could tell how pained she actually was.

It's times like this that I'm absolutely grateful to have a wolf like her.

It hurts, it hurts like I could have never imagined but she's right, I need to pick myself up. As long as I'm alive, there's hope for a better future. Besides, he already had someone else but still chose to take my virginity and then have the audacity to tell me it was a mistake. If he was able to reject me so easily, why should I cry for him? A douchebag like him doesn't deserve my tears or even my love. He deserves whatever karma's going to cook up for him. 

I won't fall apart, I won't give him a chance to see me miserable. I'll go on living like nothing happened. 

“That's the spirit! It's gonna take a lot more to break us.” Nila cheered and I slowly crawled out of the bed.

My legs were unstable for the first few minutes, I was so sore it felt like I'd been hit by a truck. After regaining my balance, I picked up my clothes and put them on. I wove my hair into a braid and washed my face. I took a deep breath before finally leaving the room.

The hallway was mostly empty except for employees here and there tidying up from yesterday's extravaganza. They barely spared me any attention as I passed by, something I'm grateful for.

I try to find my way to the exit but only end up getting lost in the huge palace. I rest beside a door for a moment to try to retrace my steps but the door suddenly opens and I fall backwards. I close my eyes and brace myself for impact but the pain never comes. Instead, I feel strong arms wrap around my back securely and pull me flush against a hard body, successfully breaking my fall.

I don't even need to look at the face to know who it is. His encroaching scent wafts into my nostrils and I have to stop myself from mock gagging, already having gotten more than enough of a healthy dosage.

I pulled back but his arms never left my body, he just stared at me blankly, like he was waiting for me to do something. Perhaps he thinks I've come to beg to be taken back. Like hell.

“Despite being the Alpha, the rules of the rejection also apply to you. You should follow your own advice and refrain from touching me.” I taunt and push him off of me, finally freeing myself from his grip.

His brief look of confusion satisfies me more than it should. 

“You say that but you're the one falling into my arms. If you've come to plead with me, I suggest you save your breath. I already told you everything I needed to.” He states and I pull on a mocking smile.

“You know Alpha, being indecisive doesn't suit you. If you're looking for a girl who will fall at your feet, crawl, cry and beg just so you can take her as a side piece and dump her whenever you please, do carry on with your search, I'm not the one you're looking for. I happened to lose my way and ended up here and on that note, thank you for saving me from falling.

Even though we're not mates, you're still the Alpha of this Pack and as a Pack member, I'm entitled to your assistance. So if you would be kind enough to have someone show me the way out of here, we won't have to endure each other anymore.” I said in a sickeningly sweet voice and he frowned.

“Ask directions from any of the staff you find around, I have better things to do.” He said and stormed off while I counted down from ten just to be able to stop the flood of emotions swirling within me from bursting out.

One thought echoed through my mind, cold and certain: I will never be weak again.

If Zane Black thought he could break me, he was wrong. He’d unleashed something far more dangerous than heartbreak.

He’d unleashed me.

Chapter 2
Jaselyn's POV “You finally decided to come home, eh? I assumed you'd finally run away with some delinquent.” My uncle's biting voice rang through the room as soon as I walked through the door. I expected this. Perhaps the saddest part of being an orphan is having nowhere else to go.As usual, I chose to stay silent. Talking back only made it worse.“Bitch!” He spat out angrily and in the blink of an eye, he was on me, gripping my hair and pulling so hard that it nearly ripped from my skull. I screamed out from the pain and forced my tired body up, following the movement of his hand and trying to alleviate the excruciating pain.“I'm fucking talking to you, how dare you ignore me?” He yelled, pulling on my hair some more while I whimpered in pain, tears brimming in my eyes and quickly rolling down my cheeks even as I tried to free his hand from my hair.“You're still not saying anything, uh? I haven't taught you a lesson and that's why you still have the nerve to disrespect me.” He cur

Chapter 3
Jaselyn's POV After patching myself up with some first aid and taking some aspirin for my raging headache, I swooped into action and began packing my bags. It especially wasn't difficult as I only had a few belongings, Uncle Dan never bought me anything. I took out the money I had been saving and counted it. It wasn't a lot but it would be enough for me to feed and have a roof over my head for a few days. I'll figure something out before I run out of cash.I zip the duffer bag close and make my way to the living room. I take a quick look around and it saddens me that I don't have even one good memory of this place. There's nothing I'll miss.Just then, I hear a loud banging on the door which startles me. That's weird, Uncle shouldn't be back already. If he's really the one at the door, I'm in trouble for sure. If he finds out that I'm trying to escape, only Selene knows what he'll do to me.A mixture of panic and dread washes over me as I become glued to my spot, too scared to open t

Chapter 5
Jaselyn’s POV “What is going on? Why have you brought me here?” I demand hotly.“You'll only get your answers when you calm down and listen.” Zane's wife, Isla answers me casually and it takes all my self restraint not to glare at her.“Just please tell me why I'm here. Why won't you let me leave?” I request more softly this time.“This might come as a shock but my beloved Isla is unable to have children of her own, we've tried everything but nothing seems to be working. After I informed her about you, we talked and we both decided that since you're my mate, you'll be the perfect person to make our dream come true.” Zane begins.“What?!” I exclaim, wide eyed and unable to believe my ears.“You're going to have children in Isla's place, Jaselyn. You are my mate, after all, it's your duty to give me an heir.” Zane declares shamelessly while I struggle to comprehend everything.After deflowering me, betraying and then rejecting me, he wants me to get pregnant and have a child for him an

Chapter 6
Jaselyn's POV Shortly after Zane and Isla's departure, one of Isla’s maids showed up to take me to my new room. She had a disgusted sneer on her face and it was obvious that she hated my presence.Well that makes the two of us because if I had my way, I'd rather be anywhere else.I dragged my feet as I followed her but I had to pause when we reached a creaky set of stairs that led upwards towards what seemed like an attic. I thought she was taking me to my room, why are we going up there?The maid led me up the crooked steps, before she callously flung open the door to reveal a very nasty, rundown attic, filled with cobwebs and scattered rubbish littering every available space.The maid then turned to face me with a cruel smile on her face."Congratulations, wench. This is your new room.” She announced, her voice dripping with cold indifference.“I have a name, it's Jaselyn.” I retorted and she snorted. “Whatever.”I scanned the dusty, pathetic space and was horrified to see two hug

Chapter 7
Jaselyn's POVI assured myself that only a few bones would be broken but I'd live yet it couldn't dispel the petrifying fear that seized my being. I closed my eyes shut tight, bracing for impact but instead I felt strong arms wrap around me and bring me into a warm embrace that strangely felt safe.I didn't know if I was imagining things so I kept my eyes closed, holding onto the person’s shirt tightly. A familiar scent tickled my senses but with my adrenaline addled brain, I couldn't remember who it belonged to.“It's OK, you're safe with me.” A soft voice cooed and my eyes flew open to meet the kindest emerald eyes I'd ever seen. It was Rion, the Beta who had been nice to me when I had been forcefully brought here. My cheeks flushed pink in embarrassment when I realized he'd caught me and basically saved me from falling but he still held me securely in his arms and my hands gripped his shirt tightly.“Um…..” I tried to speak and he seemed to understand as he dropped me to my feet c

Chapter 8
Jaselyn's POV I stood there, staring at his large body sitting on my small bed. He had a devilish smile on his face as his lustful eyes roamed my body until I couldn't help but feel bare.I hugged myself, somehow managing not to cringe at his scrutinizing gaze but I could still see his eyes hungrily searching my body for any patch of exposed skin.My lips formed into a scowl as I glared at him.“What are you doing in my room?” I snapped irritatedly.I watched as his eyes narrowed at my tone.“Jaselyn dear, do you like it when I'm mean to you? Do I really have to remind you that you cannot speak to me like that? I might have brought you here but I’m still your Alpha!” He spoke calmly, the last bit sounding like a warning but I just rolled my eyes at him which made him growl at me.“My apologies, what are you doing in my room Alpha?” The sarcasm in my voice was clear and I relished in the look of annoyance that flickered across his face.It was obvious that he was losing his patience w

Chapter 9
Jaselyn's POVI woke up with a jolt, rising up so fast from the bed that the aches returned with a vengeance. My head was aching as well and I nursed my temple, trying to clear my vision.I had just woken up from a nightmare, one in which Zane had kissed me and then dug a knife right into my back. He backed away with a malicious grin, telling me how much of a fool I was to trust him. In the next minute, before I could even react to the pain of having a knife lunged deep into my back, Isla pushed me off the cliff. As I fell down with a scream, slowly dropping down into the abyss, I saw Zane holding Isla closely while she carried what seemed to be a newborn sleeping peacefully.As I rubbed my forehead gently, everything began to come back to me vividly like a scene playing right before my eyes. I shake my head as if to make it go away.“I promise we won't let it happen. We'll survive this, we'll become stronger and we'll get out of here. We'll go make all our dreams come true, I promis

Chapter 10
Jaselyn's POV Finding Isla’s room was very easy, with the direction of one of the maids, I easily spotted the biggest, most beautifully decorated room in the palace.But nothing prepared me for the sheer luxury I would find when I opened the room.The room was so large that it looked like a five star luxury suite. Everything was beautifully decorated and probably cost a fortune. Every inch of its space spoke of a type of wealth and privilege beyond anything I had ever known and would ever hope to know.Even the bed and lavish furniture looked so darn soft and fluffy that I had to physically hold myself back from falling into it. If this room were mine, I would probably go to sleep every night with the biggest smile on my face.And at that point I couldn’t help but wonder. How could someone with a bed this big and soft be so cruel and heartless? How could a woman with so much privilege take joy in oppressing others? I guess it goes to show that money truly isn't everything.I walked

Chapter 11
Jaselyn's POV My eyes widened at the shocking accusation. Moi? Stole a diamond necklace? When did I even have the time to steal anything when she kept me working all day? But she must have already known that.“Isla.” I tried to begin calmly, fighting back the anger building up within me. “I really don’t know what you’re talking about. I never stole anything, I never even saw a diamond necklace anywhere.” There must have been some kind of misunderstanding or she had probably just misplaced it but I didn't get the chance to say that because she was still yelling at me.“I’m talking about the diamond necklace my husband gifted me on our wedding night. He gave it to me to signify our love and commitment to each other. I always wear it to important gatherings so everyone in the pack knows about it, you're obviously feigning innocence. I know you stole it out of jealousy. Now tell me where it is?!” She yelled even louder than before.“I’m not lying!” I bit back in frustration. “I didn’t ev
