Everly Gray grew up, living with her father Johnson Gray, who made her life a living hell because of the hatred he had for Everly’s late mother. She was punished for her mother's sins and overshadowed by her stepsister, Isabella. Isabella becomes envious of Everly when she got to know about Everly's fated bond with Alpha Viktor, whom she was already dating. She schemes to get rid of her by manipulating Alpha Viktor Simpson, the alpha of Silver Cross Pack to reject Everly as his mate. After being publicly rejected by her fiancé, Everly accepts her rejection with quiet dignity and leaves her pack to avoid further humiliation. She ends up living in an alley until a life- altering encounter with Kaelan, the Alpha King, changes her fate. Everly finds herself entangled with the powerful Alpha King, Kaelan Blackwood. This accidental encounter leaves her with a surprise—she discovers that Kaelan isn’t just a stranger; he's her fated mate, and he’ll stop at nothing to keep her. But Everly, scarred from betrayal, is reluctant to trust him. As the Alpha King works to win her heart, he faces challenges from within his realm. Rogues, a prophecy, and a secret enemy threaten to dismantle his reign and destroy what they have. Will Everly be able to rise from her weakness and claim her place beside her mate? Or will she allow the conspirators to destroy everything she and Kaelan has built together?

This was a hard-earned peace. The occupants of this pack and palace had gone through years of struggle, sacrifice and resilience.Kaelan stood on the balcony of his chambers, and surveyed the vast territory he now ruled. The once-fractured packs of the country were now unified under his reign, and Crescent Moon had become a beacon of progress. He had built industries that now flourished, and provided security and wealth, while the werewolf college he had also recently built ensured that future generations were educated in both the ways of the world and the sacred traditions of their kind.He heard the soft giggle of his toddler and turned to see Everly standing in the doorway. Her eyes were filled with warmth as she carried her son, Maxine in her arms.Maxine was now a vibrant toddler with wild curls and eyes as deep and
CHAPTER 159: THE HEIR IS HERE EVERLY:When Kaelan returned in the evening and learnt about the Carter incident, he became very angry with me.“I told you not to leave our chambers. What did you go to the clinic for?”“I'm sorry, Kaelan. I only wanted to comfort the boy.” I explained.“And what did you get in return, huh? You almost had yourself killed with my pup in your womb.”“Oh, this is all about protecting your pup,” I said calmly.“Don't get me more upset than I already am,. Everly,” he said coldly and stormed out of our room.A moment later, I heard him yelling at someone downstairs and when I looked through the balcony, I saw him yelling at Owen. He told him he was incompetent and couldn't handle a simple task of protecting the Luna.Owen was on his knees begging.I wanted to go downstairs to explain things further but I knew it would make him even more furious. So I held my breath and wished he could calm down. He did calm down eventually but things never remained the same
CHAPTER 158: DUNCAN IS DEAD EVERLY:When we left the clinic, Kaelan decided to go to the library to check things out. He was going through some reports when Owen knocked.“Come in,” he responded impatiently.Owen walked in with hesitant steps. “Alpha, Duncan request an audience with you.”Kaelan closed the file in his desk and turned to him. “Is this some kind of a joke? Do you really think I'm jobless? You should know the rules, Owen. I don't go about entertaining wolves from the dungeon.”Owen bowed. “I'm sorry, Alpha.” And then left the room.We spent a few more minutes in the library and then went upstairs. From this moment onward, Kaelan became clingy. He never let me out of his sight. It has been weeks since the rogues abducted me from the market and almost killed me but I still had nightmares. Kaelan was worried and decided that we should seek the help of a certain witch. But I didn't want to go.I couldn't visit a witch with a pup in my womb. Kaelan decided to go alone. I
CHAPTER 157: ARTIFICIAL FINGERS?EVERLY Viktor let go of my hand when we stepped out of the cell where the rogues had kept me. The building was hidden in a remote forest and I wondered how Viktor was able to locate this place.“I didn't come alone,” he said as if he read my mind. “There are ten Lycans out there, destroying the rogues.”He led me through a hidden path and I saw a car in the distance, waiting.“You brought a car.” I was pleasantly surprised.“Yes, I know you can't shift because of the pregnancy and walking more than twenty miles back to Crescent Moon would be dangerous for you and the pup.”I was impressed with Viktor's thoughtfulness. Who would've thought that the werewolf’s greatest villain had such a good side.I got into the car as soon as we got there and Bennett drove the car away.Beauty was at the gate of the car, pacing. She knew Viktor and the Lycans had gone to rescue and she was obviously anxious. I told Bennett to stop so I could go down. Beauty ran into
CHAPTER 156: YOU TOOK A BLADE FOR ME EVERLY:Kaelan had been gone for three days.The palace felt empty without him, and each second, I looked forward to his return. It doesn't even matter that Beauty was always in my room, keeping me company.To distract myself, I decided to go shopping with Beauty. “I need some fresh air,” I told her that morning. “And I'm yet to buy baby stroller. Maybe I will see the one I like in the market today.”She grinned. “Sure. Can I come with you?”“Of course,.you can. Kaelan will be mad if he finds out I went to the market alone,” I told her.“Then we need to take some guards,” Beauty suggested. “Just for protection.”I nodded. “Okay. Two or three guards will do.”Beauty went downstairs and informed Owen that we needed three guards to escort us to the market. He made them available immediately.I told the guards to wait in the car when we arrived at the market. I didn't want what happened the last time Beauty and I came to the market to repeat itself ag
CHAPTER 155: YOU'RE WELCOME, BABEEVERLY:I felt so furious hearing Kaelan talk about my past in that manner. I don't know if it's the pregnancy hormones but I get easily annoyed these days.I didn't make a fuss. I simply left him in the kitchen and retreated to my room. I always did that whenever Kaelan annoyed me.“Luna, I'm sorry,” he said as he entered my room, a few minutes later, looking worried. “I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.”“You don't always mean to hurt me but you always do,” I replied dryly.I was busy knitting a cap for my unborn pup. Kaelan wrapped his arms around my shoulders and buried his head in my neck.“Don't be annoyed, my Luna.”I didn't utter another word.The silence between us grew awkward.“I'm planning on going for a short business trip.” he whispered.I dropped the pins and turned to him. “Oh I get it. You're fed up with me and now you want to abandon me with your pup in my womb.”Kaelan withdrew his arms from my shoulders and gazed into my eyes. “Ho
CHAPTER 154: I DESERVE WORSEKAELAN:I instructed Owen to take off Viktor's shackles and get him a room in the warrior's lounge. I provided a few pieces of clothing and some toiletries for him. He looked too haggard and really needed to clean up.“I will never again fail you, Alpha.” Viktor couldn't stop expressing his gratitude.But I didn't let my guard down.For days, I kept a keen watch over Viktor, trying to see if there was a reason to doubt him. But there was none yet.Perhaps I needed to put him through a test. And I wasn’t going to make it easy.This morning, Everly curled her arms around me, sleeping soundly. I gazed at her beautiful face. It looked a bit fragile and I couldn't help but plant a wet kiss on her lips.Then I untangled her arms and got out of bed. I headed straight to the tiny room I had given Viktor in the warrior’s lounge.Most of my warriors weren't happy about sharing the lounge with the same terrorist Alpha who had seen to the death of so many Lycans in C
CHAPTER 153: THE OATH OF A FALLEN ALPHAKAELAN:That same evening, I had a series of meetings with the new packs that wanted to join our league.Luckily, Everly was in a good mood and I didn't have to deal with her mood swings.But Viktor wasn't done getting on my nerves. Why would Viktor request an audience with me after all the terrible things he had done?I can be ruthless when I want to. But I can also be considerate. It wouldn't hurt just to hear him out.Owen was in the library with me, waiting for my response. “So what does he want?” I asked, barely looking up from the reports on my desk.“He says he wants to apologize.” Owen informed me.Viktor wants to apologize? That's interesting! For a moment, I didn't say a word.Everly was on the couch, reading a book on pregnancy. She looked up suddenly. “Maybe you should hear him out.”I scoffed. “You think he’s changed?”“I think he has nothing left to lose,” she said simply.That was true.Viktor had lost his pack, his status, his
CHAPTER 152: THE SCHEMER’S LAST TRICKKAELAN:Evan had organised an after party but Kaelan and I didn't bother to attend. We have duties to perform and I needed to leave before my pregnancy hormones start acting up.Kaelan drove us back to Crescent Moon and as soon as we saw Owen, standing by the gate, looking grim, I knew something was up.Kaelan pulled to a halt and whined down the glass. “Is there a problem?”.Owen sighed as he scratched his head. “It’s Viktor. He’s throwing a fit in the dungeon.”I frowned. Viktor? We had almost forgotten that he existed. He had withdrawn to his shell after he lost all his ten fingers.Kaelan also frowned. “And I'm supposed to be bothered about that?”“Alpha, Viktor has been making a fuse all day,” Owen reported, looking annoyed. “Everyone is fed up with his tantrum.”Kaelan stepped down from the car, crossed his arms and leaned on the car. I stepped down too but I didn't go to him. I was tired and wanted to go upstairs. The way I rubbed my stoma
CHAPTER 1: FINDING MY MATE.EVERLY:I’ve always felt invisible in Silver Cross pack—especially with the way my father treated me. He has transferred his hatred for my mother whom he considered cursed to me. My mother was Wolfless and so am I. Or so I thought. Since after my mother's death, I've known nothing but rejection and hatred.My father was the Beta to Alpha Viktor, the Alpha of Silver Cross pack and the pack wasn't doing so well. Since he married Elena, my stepmom, who moved in with her daughter, Isabella, my father's rejection of me has doubled. They made it a duty to make sure I was always unhappy. I had hoped that once I turned 18 years old, I would find my mate and move out of the house.Well, I found my mate and was so elated about it. It was late in the evening and I suddenly felt the puIl of the mate bond. I followed the scent of the mate bond to the Alpha's castle and when I got closer to him, we both could feel the electrical spack between us. Alpha Viktor was sea...
