Sienna Valeria Storm thought her only crime was surviving. As the last Ruby Wolf, she has been hunted, accused of murdering an Alpha, and forced into hiding. But when she stumbles into the path of Kieran Draven Wolfe, the most feared Alpha of the Shadowfang Pack, her fate is sealed. He offers her a choice—stand trial and face execution or become his mate to break his deadly curse. But Kieran isn’t the only one drawn to her. Ronan Voss, an assassin from her forgotten past, has been ordered to kill her, yet his heart refuses. Caius Blackthorne, a vampire prince, offers her power in exchange for her loyalty. As the Celestial Trials force her to choose a mate, dark forces rise, and secrets long buried begin to surface. Because the Midnight Syndicate doesn’t just want her dead—they want her power. And the truth? If she bonds with the wrong mate, she could doom them all. She was born a legend. She will die a queen—or a monster.
View MoreSienna's POV They froze at the sound of my voice, mid strike. They looked wild with their fangs and claws out."I said, stop it!" I repeated in a firm voice. Darius struggled on the floor, moving slightly and tried to crawl. They turned to me, at the same time, their hands falling gently to their side. I could see they were still tense. Kieran's green eyes softer as he saw me and he slowly returned to his human form. Caius did the same, his fangs and claws retreating. "What were you two going to do? Kill yourselves?" I asked, walking fast down the stairs. The fresh scratch on kieran's cheeks healed before I reached down and he wiped the blood off his face. Caius, glowing eyes returned to its usual red eyes and his torn lips healed. Kieran stepped forward, and I moved back. He stopped, stretching his hands out. "Sienna, come with me."His voice was calm, pleading and softer than the last time he spoke to me. "I can't," I answered and caught Caius smiling. I was mad with myself
Kieran's POVDarius and I stood at the huge castle gate and I rang the bell. It was ancient just like the castle. The door opened inwardly and echoed as it cracked the stone on the floor. We instinctively exchanged a glance and once the door touched the wall, we stepped in. The passageway was decorated in a modern style and I was pleased with that. I wasn't about to cry a flame torch around. The air smelt old with incense and a tall, slender pale man came to us. "Welcome, Alpha Kieran," he greeted. "And to you, Darius.""Please, this way. Lord Caius is waiting," the man said, gesturing for us to follow him.We followed silently and walked on the polished stone floor. The corridor led us to a large meeting hall with vintage chandeliers hanging from the ceilings.There he was seated at the far end of the hall, on a black marble chair. "Caius," I said and the pale messenger bowed and left. He looked just as dead as everyone in this castle. "Kieran Draven Wolfe," Caius said, smiling
Kieran's POVI boiled with anger. Sienna was gone and my men had let her slip so easily. They were sloppier and stupid than I expected. I clenched my fists at my sides, wanting to hit something but I kept my calm. My men lowered their heads and I looked around in anger. They shifted slightly anytime I got closer to any of them. "Is this how you intend to protect the pack?" I asked.They remained quiet and Darius stepped forward. "She couldn't have gone far, alpha," he said. "I have sent some men to the border.""If she isn't found before the sun goes down, then you'll have to suffer. Do I make myself clear?" My voice thundered and they nodded. "Yes, alpha," they answered. "Find her, now!" I ordered and they dispersed. Darius looked at the men and back to me. "Aren't you taking it out on them a little too much? She's just one wolf."I let my eyes for the talking and he swallowed. I kept quiet, not wanting to lash out and walked out of the packhouse. The men followed behind me a
Sienna's POVIt was over. I started to feel cold. I couldn't struggle anymore. I tried to reach for the surface to get air one more time, but I couldn't. The water's current was too strong. My hands stayed up, as the water dragged me down. I felt sorry for all the things I hadn't done. My vision became blurry, and I closed my eyes. This was the end. But something pulled me up. I couldn't see it. It gripped my arm, pulling me upward until I felt the water below my head. I was too weak to see what it was. Then, I gasped desperately as the air touched my nose. The air was freezing, and the water splashed as it pulled to the sand. I had never felt more grateful to be on land. Somehow, I prayed it wasn't any of kieran's men, or I would be in bigger trouble. I had attacked him after all and escaped his packhouse. Slowly, I opened my eyes, blinking as my chest heaved while I panted. I was never going near the waters again. It was dark, and a blurry face looked at mine smiling. My eye
Sienna's POV"Get him away from me!" Kieran ordered. The bodyguards dragged Ronan across the floor. He coughed out blood, and looked at me. I was scared anything would happen to him. "He'll live," Kieran said, as if reading my mind. Kieran's men dragged him to the door, and his boots scraped the ground. Just as they were about to leave the door, something bright slipped out of his hand. Kieran hadn't noticed, he had his back turned, and I ran to pick the dagger. Kieran turned just as quickly and I hid the dagger in my palm behind me. The door closed, and it was just Kieran and I left in the room. "Are you that stupid?" He asked. "Huh?" I asked, startled. "He got in, and you didn't notice," Kieran blurted. I was aware, but I didn't have time to argue with him. I wanted him out of my room as quickly as possible so I could loosen the ventilation shaft above and get the hell out of his house. He stepped forward, and I retreated with every step he took. He smirked, having me c
Ronan’s POVI moved stealthily, slowing my breathing. The guards doubled before I could get to where Sienna was. I watched their routines and focused on their weaknesses. I knew when to push forward, when to pull back. The timing had to be right. A guard stepped inches from where I stood by the stone column, his boots crunching gravel. My fist tightening around the dagger on my belt eased. One mistake, one sound, and I'd have to kill him.Not yet.He passed by, oblivious.I crept forward, my form slipping between the spaces in their line, unseen with slow steps. My muscles tensed in purpose as I inched to the edge of the building, hugging the icy stone. I was familiar with the formation; three in front, two at the stairs. They would have no clue what was coming their way.The first man never saw me. A sharp flick of my wrist, and my knife cut across his throat, catching him before he could have hit the ground. I dropped him, silent.The seconds came too fast. I whacked him on the h
Sienna’s POV“Do you really think locking me up here forever is going to change my mind?” I said, and made a swift turn to see Kieran standing by the door. I had sensed him earlier. I was angry, and I hated being imprisoned. He smiled, walking right up to me. I was always amazed how soft his eyes could be. Yet, they would switch back to being dark. “You’re not a prisoner,” he said smoothly, “just… contained.”A harsh, quaking laugh burst out of my throat. “Is that what you have been calling this? A gilded cage with silk sheets? I am not a simpleton, Kieran.”His lips slightly curved upward. “No, you’re not. Which is why you should be smart enough to understand why you’re here.”I had my arms folded. “I know the reason I’m here.”“Don't you?” He asked, smiling. “You want me to be the cure for your mental illness. The entire werewolves clans know,” I spat. Kieran didn’t deny it. Instead, he moved closer to me. His gaze locked onto mine like a predator sizing up prey. “I don't see
Ronan’s POV“She should not have survived.”The words rang through my head while I sat in the Syndicate's war room, blood hardening over the tear in the sleeve of my jacket. Dorian Maddox, the enforcer for the Midnight Queen, paced the room, his sharp, hawk eyes slicing through the silence like the edge of a knife.I felt the weight of his eyes upon me but did not flinch. I never did.“You had one job, Voss.” He said this softly yet menacingly. “Kill the girl. Bring back the proof. But instead, you come back with a useless excuse of her disappearing into the lands of Shadowfang. Care to explain?”A muscle in my jaw convulsed. “She escaped.”Dorian’s lips twisted into amusement, though his eyes were not amused. “Escaped?” He leaned against the cold steel table dividing us. “You’re the Phantom Wolf, the Syndicate’s greatest assassin, and you expect me to believe some starving girl overpowered you?”My silence did the talking.Dorian exhaled through the nostrils, the deliberate expulsio
Kieran’s POVI noticed a red wolf running through the woods. I had been scanning the area, getting ready to hunt when she passed. I sensed she was a female and followed her. Her fur was unusual and I was intrigued. Loud roaring and howls greeted my ears. Different bikes riding with the wolves. They were chasing her. I sensed her tiredness and transformed into my wolf form. Unlike the others, I moved quietly even though I was fast. I was larger too and watched in awe as she easily got away from them, making them crash and collide with each other. I stood at the top of a hill hiding behind the shadow and noticed a clothed man enter the ruined packhouse. He looked just like the assassins chasing her and I waited. Next, she ran in, and I heard her groan with a fall. I ran towards the building and snarled, getting their attention. The man already had her pinned to the floor and his claws raised to slash her throat. I stopped forward, ready to pounce on him when a huge wind pulled hi
Sienna’s POV“She went this way!” Someone yelled, running through the woods. I kept running, ignoring the branches and tall grasses hitting my body. I panted, my feet getting tired. I was tired, but I couldn't stop. If they caught me, then I was as good as dead. I rested behind a tree, trying to catch my breath. “I see her!” One of the men shouted. “Shit!” I groaned and continued running. Please help me. Moon Goddess. Please. I didn't….I can't anymore. Please. A sharp thorn from a plant scratched my knee, and I yelped. “Goddamn it!” “Find her!” One of the men yelled. They were closing in on me. I needed more time. I couldn't face them. They would kill me. “Dear goddess, what do I do?” I murmured, and closed my eyes for a second. I transformed into my wolf form, it was the best chance I had now and I opened my eyes. My wolf was a bright red with white undertone fur. My wolf was bigger than the regular teenage wolves and I started to run, howling with the moon. Half of the ...
