Chapter 1

Winter.

“I reject you—“

Red. Everything was red. His shirt, mine, the floor, and so were my hands. My mate’s eyes widened as the small silver blade slipped out of my grip. His veins bulged, mouth agape, trying to lunge at me like a wounded wolf he already was.

“How dare you! How fucking dare you, Winter!”

With a wounded chest, he struck at me. Both of us fell with a loud thud. He stayed on top, breathing hard while clenching my neck, trying to suck the life out of my body.

“No,” I screamed, kicking the air and punching his bleeding wound.

He smiled in mirth, knowing that my consciousness began to fade away. How did we end up here? We were madly in love. I devoted myself to him, bare my soul only for him. Yet, the love was gone in a blink of an eye.

“I would have given you the luxury to stay in my pack if you had accepted the fact that I’ve found my fated mate. I would have left you living your best life here. But not anymore. You prove to me a jealous female could be very dangerous.”

I wanted to refute and fight back. I wanted to tell him that before he marked me, he had promised that nothing could sever our bond, not even our fated mate.

“Death is better for you,” he said, so low, like a whisper of the grim reaper.

Panic rose as he tightened his grip. His blood dripped to my face, and I realized if he could kill me, I could do the same. What of love? It didn’t matter in the face of death.

My head jerked to the right, founding the blade glistening. Looking at him, my hand reached for the blade. One second, two seconds, three seconds…

“When you wake up in the other world, you’ll be thanking me, Winter.”

And I struck the blade to his face, eliciting a roar from him.

Bang~

The door to my doom opened, and so many people dragged me like I was nothing. Their eyes scrutinized me as if I was a skilled killer. A scream echoed throughout the path. Gone was the respect in their eyes. What I am now is just a fallen Luna.

Stripped from honor, getting humiliated repeatedly was a norm. My body was punching back. I cried and begged to be saved, yet none heard me. They laughed and laughed until the sound became a constant music in my sleep.

“Winter, Winter, wake up.” Someone shook my body. I felt it, yet I couldn’t open my eyes. “Shh, it’s okay. You are dreaming. Wake up. Let me see your eyes.”

And my body jerked awake as a hard slap landed on my cheek. I looked at the preparator—Skye Ross, my roommate for almost a year. She smiled awkwardly at me, her green eyes staring at me as if saying sorry.

“I’m sorry. You know that it’s hard to wake you up when you have a bad dream. I have no choice, really.” She grinned, lifted her hands, and made a peace sign.

“Don’t look at me like that. I’m not Nina, it won’t work on me.” I replied, changing my position to sit straight.

“Speaking of Nina, where is she?” Skye asked as she went to the kitchen.

“I don’t know. Perhaps she is spending her time with family.”

Nina Woods. She was also my roommate—the one who rented us this ridiculous decent, almost luxurious apartment at a low price. I figured she was part of a big and rich pack, yet she lived alone outside her pack.

I didn’t know why, though. I never asked and didn’t plan to ask, either. Me, Skye and her, were roommates and friends, but not close enough to reveal a piece of our real selves. At least, that was what I believed.

Skye returned soon after, with a glass of water. She handed me the glass and took a seat on the reading chair near me.

“You okay?” She finally asked.

“Thanks. It’s nothing to worry about. Just having the same dream.”

“Ah, right, today is Blood Moon…” She stopped, yet her eyes spoke everything. I sighed, but then she added, “are you going to lock yourself again?”

“That was the plan. But I have work to do.”

With an arched brow, she uttered, “You do? That’s unusual.”

She was right. Blood Moon only happened four times a year, and she had seen me avoiding stepping out of the apartment three times. While everyone was thrilled to find their mate during Blood Moon, I wasn’t. I was terrified. The idea of finding my fated mate made me shiver in fear. So, I’d rather lock myself during that time.

“The pay is good. Besides, it’s for Verlices. It’s a one chance in a lifetime opportunity. When else I’d get a chance to visit Verlices’ main hotel if not this time?”

Skye threw a pillow at my face and complained, “That’s my line!”

“You visited Verlices every day. Why are you still obsessing about going there?”

“That’s different, Winter. The Verlices I work my ass for is just one of the smallest hotels among the others. So, I need to visit their main hotel, even just for once.”

“You can see the picture online. You know that, right?”

“You won’t understand.” Yeah, I won’t. “Anyway, how did you even get yourself a job there? Their selection is extremely hard to pass, even for the lowest level employee.”

“There are many ways. Taking a job under the table, that’s one way.” I stood up, tapping Skye’s shoulder before passing her to our room.

“Be careful. If you don’t, you might find yourself a mate there!” She screamed.

“Shut it! It won’t happen, and if I did, I’m a good runner, you know."

“As if Snow will let you walk away.” Then her laugh reverberated through our apartment, which was irritating.

My wolf—Snow, yeah, it would be hard to fight her. She always got angry every time I denied her a chance to find our mate. But I didn’t care. I did everything for my mental well-being. She’d understand like she always did.

I stripped my clothes and changed into a new pair of jeans and a black shirt with a medium size sling-back to complete my look.

“Good luck with finding your mate.”

I ignored her annoying taunt and walked past the living room. Then, I heard her again.

“Careful, Winter.”

“I will.”

Then I went out hoping I wouldn’t find my mate in the sea of wolves tonight.

***

Now I understand Skye’s obsession with Verlices. The moment I passed the revolving door and stepped into the grand lobby, I couldn’t stop myself from admiring how magnificent this hotel was.

Skye would have jumped in excitement if she were here. She’d dragged me to see every corner of this hotel until she was satisfied. But she wasn’t here, and I certainly didn’t have time to marvel at how gorgeous this place was. I had work waiting for me.

I went straight to the top of the building where the party would be held after changing my clothes to the hotel uniforms.

Pushing the entrance, I walked inside and stopped breathing for a second. This was huge. I knew they decorated the top building like a beach club, but didn’t expect it to be large. There were multiple swimming pools and lots of deck chairs, and lounge sofas.

I ventured toward the indoor lounge and nightclub and found myself in awe again. That made me question just how much they earned yearly to build this kind of place.

“Adrianne! Adrianne!” Someone suddenly tapped my shoulder. “Adrianne!”

“Huh, me?” I pointed at myself.

“Of course. Is there any Adrianne around here?” She asked. Then I realized I worked here under Adrianne’s name.

I found Adrianne’s post on the dark web. She asked for a replacement for today’s event. At first, I thought she was suspicious, but after she told me all the details, I took the job. As I said, the pay is good.

“I’ve been calling you dozens of times. Don’t wander around, the guest has come. Go to your position before the manager sees you stalling alone. Believe me, if he caught you, you won’t get a single penny from him.”

“I’m sorry. I’ll go then.”

More and more people packed the venue. They laughed and chatted with each other as the night grew deeper. I went around, offering them drinks. Some took it, some just gave me a slight glance before returning their attention to their friends.

I felt sick as the realization drew into me. No single human here. Goddess, there were so many wolves, and one of them could be my mate.

“Easy, easy. You’ve passed several Blood Moon without meeting him. This one won’t be different.” I kept telling myself as I did my work.

“Drink?” I said to a group of females, and they dismissed me with a wave of hands.

While some still mingled with their own circle, I found several already marking each other. They looked so in love.

“I used to be like that, too.” I shook my head as soon as that thought passed through my mind.

“Have you heard that Alpha Dante especially holds a Blood Moon party to find his mate?” One female in the lounge asked her friends.

“That’s what I heard. However, none have seen his shadow ever since the party starts.”

“But some have seen Beta Kayden and Gamma Kieran.” The other female looked around and pointed behind my back. “That’s Beta Kayden.”

I peered over my shoulder and saw the male they called Kayden. He was…handsome, I had to admit. Among his feature, his curly hair caught my attention the most.

“He is hot.” That female said.

“Stop it. He won’t look at you even when you are dancing naked in front of him.”

“What? Why?”

“I heard—“

“Adrianne! Go over there,” one of the servers pointed to the left side.

“Okay.”

As the clock neared midnight, I relaxed.

“No sign of our mate, Snow. Now, I won’t have to worry—“

My entire body bristled with an icy chill as sweat drenched my skin. Snow pushed forward, trying to dominate me.

‘Mate! Mate! Mate!’ Snow screamed.

“No!”

But Snow was persistent. She was desperate and fought hard against my control. And she won. I turned my body in slow motion, hoping I wouldn’t find anyone.

Moon Goddess, however, had another plan.

I saw him—stood proudly among the crowds. Snow purred as his eyes rooted on me for a split second. I blinked once, then he was before my eyes.

I couldn’t run. Snow was holding me in place.

‘Please. I don’t want this. You also don’t.’ I said to Snow.

A cold hand touched my cheek, forcing me to look straight into his eyes. They were blue. So blue, like the ocean.

Then he whispered words that shattered the wall I had built with tears and blood.

“My mate. Mine.”

Dante.A loud sound echoed in my office as Kayden—my beta, barged in with an irritating look plastered over his face. He leaned on the door, eyes staring deeply in my direction, hands folded before his chest. With an arch brow, I waited without bothering to speak up.“You are not supposed to be here.” Kayden finally spoke—every word laced with impatience. I believed he was tired of socializing in my stead.I reached for a lowball glass on my desk and took my sweet time to swirl it while still staring at Kayden. Another minute passed, and none of us spoke. He sighed, making the corner of my lips tug upward.As expected from a male with little patience.“Where should I be? Pray tell” I asked, spinning my chair so I could face the glass window, which showed the beauty of night in the Strip.“Out there hunting for your mate. We hold this party for you. If you don’t step out, those hags will not stop pestering you.”The thought of the elders in my pack made my mouth twitch. They had been pe

Chapter 3
Winter. Standing tall and proud before my eyes was Dante Verlice, my mate. He was the alpha of the biggest pack in Vegas. One of the few who brought his pack to flourish despite building it from nothing. He was notorious for his leadership skill, his gentleness—which I believe was a facade, and his hobby of playing around with she-wolves. “You are trembling again.” His low and deep voice snapped me back to reality. “I told you, don’t be scared.” How could I not? Having him as my mate was the worst thing Moon Goddess could do. Dante was the type of male I should avoid at any cost. I should have never let Snow take over. I should have run the very first time I sensed him. ‘You won’t be able to run, Winter.’ Snow said carelessly. She is wrong. I always manage to slip away, especially from a dangerous male. “And I’ve told you I’m just cold,” I replied with confidence. I didn’t want him to catch a sign of weakness from me. I knew he didn’t buy my reason, but he didn’t refute me eithe

Dante. I knew something was wrong the moment I stepped into the pool area. All my guests and employees were already gone. Only Kayden and Kieran stood rigidly in front of me. However, Kieran’s eyes wandered past me while Kayden looked at me with a layer of guilt on his face. “Where is she?” I asked, faking the calmness even though I only wanted to scream right now. Kayden and Kieran exchanged glances a few times. “I’m asking.” “I’m still looking for her.” “WHERE IS SHE, KAYDEN?!” Gone was the calmness I fought hard to keep. “She escaped.” Kayden’s words rang so loud in my head that I felt the world spinning around me. She escaped. My mate. My fucking mate was gone when I just got her. Ace snarled in anger, and I could feel him trying to control my body, which was not a good sign. ‘Calm down,’ I said to him. ‘You fucking lost her, Dante. I’m going to kill your useless Beta and Gamma.’ ‘Don’t! I swear to Moon Goddess, you will never get to see her again if you do that. I promi

Chapter 5
Winter. Living in Elko for about a month wasn’t different from in Vegas. I still wake up and work my ass like crazy. I never had time to enjoy my free time. All I ever thought about while I had spare time was how to get more money to ensure that I could eat while living on the run. I did every job I could do. From the moment I escaped my former pack, I never rested properly. I knew once I let my guard down, they could take me back and torture me until I lost my life. For the past few weeks, I only tried to work in a bar and grocery store, but I found the money wasn’t enough to fund me if I ever needed to move again, so fighting was my only solution to get quick money. I knew it wasn’t fair to fight with humans, knowing I was far stronger than them. However, I would not follow my moral values because it wouldn’t give me money. After all, fairness didn’t exist in this world. So here I am, facing a man twice my size. “Diana, was it?” The man—Carlo, the legendary underground fighter

Chapter 6
Winter.The moment I opened my eyes, unfamiliar surroundings welcomed me. With minimal furniture, the small room only had a medium-sized table, two chairs, and a small couch, which I'm currently occupying. The closed windows had a dusty curtain covering them.My head turned to the right, finding Kieran staring at me. “Where am I?”“Thank Goddess, you are awake. I almost lost my neck because of you.” He kneeled beside me, lifting his hand, and asked me how many fingers he showed.“Four and two.”“Goddess, I almost piss myself because of you.”“What?”Instead of answering, Kieran stood up. He looked down, hands in his pocket, while smiling strangely at me.“Anyway, you lose. So, five minutes’ talk.”I did a half-shrug and replied, “Okay, go ahead.”“Not with me, but with my Alpha.”My eyes enlarged, realizing that I had forgotten about my predicament for a moment. Shit. This wasn’t good. Seeing my reaction, Kieran chuckled. He tapped my shoulder and then uttered,“Good luck, Diana.”And

Chapter 7
Winter. Lying in the small bed facing a brown-colored ceiling, I felt sweat dripping from my body with each passing minute. My heart rate increased so fast that I could hear how loud it beat against my ribcage. My chest heaved up and down in rhythm as the heat spread all over my body. “Fuck my life,” I cursed, moving restlessly to ease the pain. ‘Fuck you, Winter.’ Snow snarled at me. She was beyond angry right now and knowing how tortured she was, I couldn’t even refute her. This was an unexpected situation. I didn’t know I’d be in heat this soon. This was why finding a mate was bad news. Not only did it put me on my mate’s radar, but now I had to deal with an occasional heat. It was bearable when we never found our fated mate, but it was totally different when we finally met. Ideally, after meeting our mate, we’d marked each other as soon as possible to hinder from getting in heat, which was painful. But with my situation, I couldn’t let my mate mark me, leaving me to deal with

 Dante. “So, you finally have time to time with your mate, huh?” I shrugged upon hearing Ayla’s words. From the way she frowned, I knew she had reached her limit after I ignored her for days. This was Winter’s fault. That female occupies every corner of my mind and I hardly have time to deal with anything else. “I always have the time to talk. I just forgot about you for a while. And I’ll have to correct you there, Ayla. You are not my mate.” Ayla scoffed, then said, “Well, I am in the face of elders.” Ayla stopped. “I heard you find her.” Elders. Fuck them honestly. Ayla was Edward Brown’s adopted daughter. Edward brought her to Dark Moon pack when she was only thirteen. She was almost like a sister to me and Kayden. However, Edward wanted to make Ayla the Luna of the pack

Winter. I was totally wrong for thinking that Dante would give up after my threat because not only did he not stop, but he didn’t even bother to hide the fact that he made someone follow me. Even after I moved to another city and masked my appearance, his people still managed to find me. These days, it was getting harder to hide myself from Dante and his people, mainly because I lacked funds. I kept moving before I managed to earn good money to support my plan. If this continues, I’d end up broke, just like the first time I escaped my former pack. Exhaling an exasperated sigh, I turned my head, looking at the black car that stopped just two buildings away from me. ‘He is here,’ Snow said. ‘I know.’ Dante might let his people be my tail, but he never showed himself to me after we met in the underground fight club. All this time, his

 Dante. As I kissed Winter, the heaviness that had been weighing on my shoulder was gone in an instant. I was never wrong when I thought she’d be the only solution to all the fucking sickness I had felt since we parted ways. Goddess, I’d be miserable without her. “Ugh,” Winter moaned in my mouth as I parted her lips with my tongue and licked every corner of her mouth, tasting the saltiness of chips mixed with mint from my tea. Her hands that were hanging on her sides moved up from my shoulder to my neck, pulling me closer as she deepened our kiss. She was as hungry as I was. Winter pulled away, breathing hard on my lips. Her eyes were clouded, and for a second, I thought she’d bolt out of this car and pretend like she never wanted me. Yet the moment she locked her orbs against mine, I saw nothing but lust and hunge
