A brutal rogue and vampire attack leaves the newly appointed Alpha Helios on the brink of death, his body rejecting every attempt to save him. When the eccentric pack healer reveals that only the Alpha’s fated mate can heal him, the entire pack is stunned, because Helios had claimed he had no mate. Timid yet determined, Starlight steps forward, shocking everyone with her ethereal beauty and the truth they refused to see. She gives her blood to save the mate who tormented her, only to fall into a coma herself. As Helios recovers, he is forced to confront the bond he tried to deny. Watching over Starlight, he realizes the unbearable truth. He doesn’t just need her to live; he craves her in ways he never imagined. His wolf, once cold and indifferent, now growls with possessiveness at the sight of her. But Starlight is no longer the weak omega he scorned. She awakens changed, stronger. And she is not so easily won. Determined to make him suffer as she once did, she flips their dynamic, forcing the proud Alpha to submit to her terms. No mate bond, no consummation, until she decides he’s earned it. For the first time in his life, Helios, the dominant Alpha, is at the mercy of the omega he once rejected. And he will do anything to make her his. This is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers werewolf romance where roles are reversed, and the strongest Alpha finds himself bowing before the mate he once discarded.
View MoreHelios' POVThe nights were the worst. I could still feel her, faint, like a dying ember refusing to go out, flickering somewhere far away where I couldn’t reach. The bond that should have burned hot between us, alive and electric, now felt stretched thin, like a fragile thread barely holding on.Star. My mate. My Luna.And my children… goddess, our babies. I had turned the entire territory inside out trying to find her. Scoured every inch of forest, every abandoned cabin, every inch of land that could conceal a scent trail. Nothing. It was like she’d vanished into thin air.I should have known it was Ravena. I clenched my fists, my claws biting into my palms, my wolf pacing restlessly inside me. I knew her obsession, her madness. But she didn’t want me. No. Ravena’s fixation had always been with my father, Killian. The bitterness twisted in my chest.She had abducted Star, not
Helios' POVI was losing her but the thought haunted me, gnawing at the edges of my mind like an insistent pest. Every waking moment was consumed with the search, the relentless pursuit of any sign, any clue that would lead me to Star. The woman I was meant to protect, to cherish, to love, she was gone, taken from me, and I had no idea how to get her back.Every lead had turned cold. Every tracker, no matter how skilled, had hit dead ends. We searched high and low. The forests, the mountains, the remote corners of the kingdom. My warriors had scoured every inch of land within a hundred-mile radius, but the result was always the same: nothing.Despair was creeping in, though I’d be damned if I ever admitted it out loud. There was no room for weakness, not now, not when she needed me the most. And yet, every day, the feeling of helplessness weighed heavier on my shoulders.I had promised to
Star’s POVI didn’t know what was happening outside the walls of Ravena’s little bungalow, but I felt it. The shift in the air, the change in the rhythm of Ravena’s steps as she entered the attic that morning. There was something different in her gaze, something triumphant and almost gleeful. I hadn’t seen that look from her in a while, and it made my stomach twist.“Good morning, Star,” she said, her voice soft, as if she were pretending to care. She stepped closer, eyes scanning me carefully, no doubt expecting to see a broken shell of a person.Instead, I met her gaze with all the strength I could muster. I wasn’t going to give her the satisfaction of seeing me at my weakest. Not anymore.She paused, inspecting me, and for a fleeting moment, I could see a flicker of something dark in her eyes. Then, with a little smirk, she spoke again, her tone laced with amusement. “I’ve decided to g
Star's POVI spent the next few days pretending to be exactly what Ravena wanted me to be, a frail, sickly shell of myself. Every moment was a balancing act, a careful dance of deception as I allowed the poison to take its toll on my body. I didn’t eat much of the food she gave me, but the Lunaris Blossom kept me from falling completely under the spell of her poison.My wolf had begun to stir once more, though she was still weak, still trapped in a haze of wolfsbane’s effects. But I could feel the faint pulse of her presence, and that gave me strength. Every day, I gathered more energy, forcing my body to stay still and quiet while the seeds of rebellion took root inside me.Ravena didn’t seem to suspect a thing. She visited only once or twice a day, smug in her belief that I was slipping closer to death. Each time she came in, she would examine me with a sickening smile, delighting in my misery, all while pretending
Star's POVThe day dragged on, the silence oppressive as ever, filled with the weight of my isolation. Ravena hadn't come down to check on me yet, and it was almost as though she was giving me time to wallow in my weakness, to surrender to the poison she’d been feeding me.I was so close to the edge, my wolf barely a whisper in my mind, and my body growing weaker with each passing hour. But I had something now, plan, a glimmer of hope in the form of the Lunaris Blossom.I kept my movements slow, deliberate, as I took the fruit from its hidden place beneath my gown, crushing it carefully in my hands. The warmth of the fruit’s power filled me immediately as its juice soaked into my palms, and I could feel the faintest stir of life from my wolf.It wasn't much, but it was enough to give me the strength to play the game Ravena was expecting. I had to keep up the act, let her believe that I wa
Star’s POVMy wolf was silent. Not gone, but curled somewhere deep within me, so still it frightened me. I called to her often in my mind, but the response was always the same: a fading echo, a flicker of pain, then nothing. Like she was sleeping… or dying.I knew why. Wolfsbane. Hidden in the food Ravena brought me, masked beneath herbs and honeyed poison. Subtle enough to not kill me instantly, but steady and cruel, like watching something you love wither leaf by leaf.That was her game. Slow degradation. Quiet torture. She didn’t chain me anymore. There was no need. My wolf was too weak to shift, too tired to roar. My strength waned daily, but my resolve? That only grew stronger.I moved stiffly through the house, barefoot and swollen, every step dragging like iron. The bungalow was old, chipped paint, warped floors, windows too cloudy to see clearly. But I found one that creaked open
Star's POV I woke to the sound of boots creaking on old floorboards. The attic door opened with a drawn-out groan, and there she was. Ravena.Her hair was perfect, her expression smug, like she hadn’t just dragged a pregnant Luna to the edge of death. Her scent was a strange mix of lavender and ash, unnatural, unsettling.She stepped inside and shut the door with an infuriating softness, like this was her home and I was the guest overstaying my welcome. "Feeling better?" she asked, a mockery of kindness.I didn’t respond. My lips were cracked. My fever still clung to me like cobwebs, but I was lucid enough to see her for what she was, insane, dangerous, and deeply wounded.She walked to the side of the mattress and crouched. Her eyes studied me, those mismatched irises flickering with something twisted and gleeful."I was beginnin
Star's POV I woke to darkness. Not the soft, comforting darkness of our chamber at Moonlit Pack… this one was suffocating. Damp. Cold. The kind of dark that presses against your skin, like it's trying to seep inside.My wrists ached. Chains. Silver. The bite of them burned against my skin, and the scent of rusted metal clung to the air like a second skin. My babies kicked gently in my womb, small fluttering reminders that I wasn’t alone, not really. My heart swelled and broke all at once.Where was Helios? Had he collapsed when he found me gone? I could almost hear his howl, broken, guttural, a sound no mate should ever have to make. And Celeste… sweet Moon, she had just started smiling again. And Killian. I’d begged him to protect my babies. I hoped he still would.I didn’t need to guess who was behind this. There was only one she-wolf twisted enough to pull this off. Ravena.
Author's POV Helios stood at the head of his gathered warriors, muscles taut and jaws clenched. His heart was a maelstrom of fury, fear, and helplessness. The very air seemed to burn around him, charged with the raw energy of vengeance. Star, his mate, his Luna, the mother of his unborn children, was gone. And he was ready to tear the world apart to find her.Just as he raised his hand to give the signal to move out, a firm hand landed on his shoulder. “Son,” Killian said, voice calm but firm. “Don’t.”Helios turned, eyes blazing with a barely contained storm. “She’s out there, Dad. They took her. The Crescent Fangs, who else could’ve gotten past our defenses?”Killian didn’t flinch. “Think, Helios. That’s exactly the problem. You’re not thinking—just reacting. And that's dangerous.” A low growl rumbled from Helios’ throat, but he didn’t move.Killian continu
Starlight’s POVI’d always dreamed of finding my mate. Not because I thought I deserved love, but because, for once, I wanted to feel like I belonged. That there was someone, just one person in this whole world, who would see me as more than the Moonlit Pack’s worthless runt. I should have known better.The moment I stepped into the grand hall for the Alpha’s coming-of-age ceremony, my heart clenched. A strange pull wrapped around me, tightening like an invisible chain, dragging me toward the one person I never wanted to be near.Helios. The son of the former Alpha. The strongest warrior in the pack. My tormentor. And now, my mate.I had no time to process the shock before his icy golden eyes locked onto mine. I shivered under the weight of his gaze, my breath hitching as his expression twisted into something ugly, disgust.“You?” His voice cut through the chatter in the room, laced with disbelief and simmering rage. The room fell silent. I felt every gaze turn toward me, felt the sne...
