Keiran's POV

Nelly got out of the car immediately we drove into the vast compound. I knew she was angry but she had no right to feel hurt or say anything concerning what I did back there.

“What's wrong with you, don't tell me you're angry at what I did over there?” I asked and she laughed dryly, turning around to look me in the eyes.

“I can't believe you're asking that. fineI know I'm just a puppet in your hands yet you didn't see the need to respect my presence you blew everything on my face right there and made me feel worthless_” she swallowed hard licking her lips in the process.

“You really like her? Huh?” She asked but I wasn't trying to give her any reply. At least she didn't deserve any reply from me. She was bought by my father to be my puppet and that is what she will remain till I say otherwise.

“I get it you're not going to say anything because I don't deserve an explanation from you. If you'll excuse me I would like to rest for the remaining part of the night. I'll

    Selene’s POV The soft evening breeze swept through the clearing, carrying whispers of the trees, and a chill that seeped into my bones. Despite the warmth of the fading sun, I couldn’t shake the foreboding that had taken root in my chest. Tonight was supposed to be the most important night of my life. The night I’d dreamed of since I was old enough to understand the stories of fated mates and destined bonds. Tonight, I would finally meet my mate—the one chosen by the moon goddess to complete me, to bring my life the meaning and purpose I had been denied all these years. I was standing in the center of the pack’s ceremonial grounds, surrounded by dozens of wolves from both our Blackwood pack and the visiting Silverfangs. Their curious, eager eyes bore into me, their whispers like a knife against my skin. They all knew what this meeting meant—knew that I, Selene Blackwood, was about to be mated to the powerful Alpha Leo of the Silverfang pack. It was supposed to be my redemption

    Selene’s POV The moon hung high above me, its silver glow seeping through the cracks in the thick canopy of Blackwood Forest. Every step I took felt heavier than the last, my body still adjusting to the overwhelming power coursing through my veins. The whispers of the moon goddess echoed faintly in my mind, soothing yet commanding. Her gift was more than strength; it was a promise that my broken heart could be made whole again. But tonight, I was still raw. Still alone. The forest stirred with life, the sounds of nocturnal creatures filling the void. My instincts, sharper now than ever, told me I wasn’t alone. My muscles tensed as I scanned the darkness, my ears picking up the faint rustling of leaves and the soft crunch of boots against the forest floor. Someone was approaching. “Who’s there?” I called out, my voice steadier than I expected. A figure emerged from the shadows, tall and commanding, with an air of quiet strength. His dark hair was tousled, and his piercing amber

    Ronan’s POV The knock at the door came like a gunshot in the quiet night, shattering whatever fragile peace had settled between Selene and me. I caught her startled expression out of the corner of my eye, her wide violet eyes reflecting the same unease creeping up my spine. “Stay here,” I told her, my voice low but firm. She nodded, but I could feel her gaze on me as I moved toward the door. My senses sharpened; every instinct told me this wasn’t a social visit. The door creaked open, and sure enough, there he was—Kael. Of all people, he was the last one I wanted to see tonight. “Ronan,” he drawled, leaning casually against the doorframe. His gray eyes swept past me and into the room, landing squarely on Selene. His smirk deepened, a look I’d come to despise. “Well, well,” Kael said, amusement dripping from every syllable. “You’ve been busy. Didn’t know you were in the business of rescuing damsels.” I stepped fully into the doorway, blocking his view. “She’s not a damsel,

    Ronan's POV The cabin was quiet, save for the faint rustle of the wind against the wooden walls. Selene was upstairs, likely asleep, though I couldn’t shake the feeling that she was as restless as I was. I sat on the couch, staring into the dying embers of the fire, my mind replaying the events of the day. I hadn’t planned for this—for her. Selene wasn’t just some rogue I could take in and protect without consequence. She was a spark of something far more dangerous, something I hadn’t encountered in years. A rejected mate, carrying not only the weight of her past but a power that pulsed beneath her skin like a second heartbeat. And then there was the other complication: I was drawn to her. It wasn’t just her beauty, though she was breathtaking in a way that made it hard to focus on anything else. It was her strength, the quiet defiance in her eyes despite everything she’d been through. She was fighting to survive, and it ignited something deep inside me—a protective instinct

    Selene's POV The forest was alive with the whispers of the wind and the soft hum of nature. I stood at the edge of a clearing, the tall pines towering above me, their branches swaying lazily in the breeze. The air smelled of earth and pine, grounding me in a way I hadn’t felt in years. I’d come out here to escape the weight of Ronan’s intense gaze. Being around him stirred something deep and primal within me—something I wasn’t sure how to handle. Every time he looked at me, it felt as though he could see every hidden scar, every fractured piece of my soul. And yet, I wanted him to look. The thought made me uneasy. I’d spent years building walls around my heart, protecting myself from further pain. Letting someone in—especially someone like Ronan—felt dangerous. But wasn’t I already standing on the edge of danger? I closed my eyes, letting the cool breeze caress my skin. My thoughts drifted to the moment we’d shared earlier, the way his deep voice had wrapped around me like a

    Selene’s POVThe morning came too soon, sunlight pouring through the window of the small cabin like liquid gold. I stirred awake to the sound of Ronan’s low voice as he spoke on the phone. His words were muffled, but his tone carried a weight of urgency.When he hung up, I sat up in bed, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. Ronan stood by the window, his silhouette outlined by the soft glow of morning light.“What’s going on?” I asked, my voice still heavy with sleep.He turned, offering me a small smile. “There’s a meeting with the board members. I need to head back to the city today.”A pang of disappointment surprised me, but I pushed it aside. “That sounds important.”“It is,” he admitted, walking over and sitting on the edge of the bed. “But you’re coming with me.”I blinked at him, startled. “To the city?”Ronan nodded. “I’m not leaving you here alone. Besides, I want you to see where I live.”There was something in his eyes—a quiet determination that made it impossible to argue.---

    Ronan’s POV The office felt suffocating despite its expansive design. Floor-to-ceiling windows offered a panoramic view of the bustling city below, but even the sight of progress and power couldn’t erase the tension gripping me. Hilliard, my ever-efficient secretary, sat across the desk, meticulously jotting down notes. We’d just returned from the boardroom, the echoes of dry presentations and tedious negotiations still lingering in my mind. “Sir, the finalized draft for the Lynton project is ready,” Hilliard said, his voice steady and professional. “Good,” I replied, leaning back in my chair. “Send it to legal for review. I don’t want any surprises later.” Hilliard nodded, but before he could respond, the door to my office opened, and Liam stepped inside. His presence was a stark contrast to Hilliard’s polished demeanor. Liam was all grit and loyalty, a man who thrived in the shadows. “Sir Ronan,” he said, closing the door behind him. His expression was tight, his tone mea

    Ronan’s POVThe tension in the hall was palpable as I stepped forward, every eye in the room trained on me. I could see the unease on the faces of the council elders, the way they shifted nervously in their seats. Even Keiran, with his carefully constructed mask of confidence, couldn’t hide the flicker of irritation in his eyes.I clasped my hands behind my back, letting the silence stretch just long enough to make them sweat. Then, I addressed the elders, my voice calm but laced with authority.“Elders,” I began, my gaze sweeping across the room. “I couldn’t help but notice that you were about to proceed with the coronation without me. Tell me, was that your intention?”The head elder, an older man with a white beard that flowed down to his chest, shifted uncomfortably. “Alpha Ronan, we were under the impression that you were unavailable. Your secretary informed us that you were out of town—”“Did my secretary also tell you that I’d forfeited my claim to this title?” I interrupted, m

    Ronan's POV I knew Keiran was playing a game and he was trying to get to me through Selene but I'm going to make sure he fails. I stood staring at all of them as they cleared their throats thinking of questions to ask me. Luka looked more uninterested in having this conversation or involving himself in this meeting he was probably forced to attend and it's not surprising to me.Keiran looked me in the eyeball and stood on his feet at the same time adjusting his jacket, he had this smug and quirky smile on his face as it did that. and immediately I knew he was going to try to set me up for anything possible tonight. I turned around and looked at my dad. He had a smile on his face and gave me a little thumbs up, “Go on Keiran.”“Taking up an important role like this is not the main issue as we all know_” Keiran paused, turning to look at everyone present in the room. “The main question is how well and how far are you willing to go to protect our kind. We are losing our kind on a dail

    Ronan's POV I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the cufflinks on my tailored suit. Tonight was important, a dinner with the leaders of the other clans. It wasn’t just a meal—it was a stage, and I was the main act. The title of Supreme Alpha came with scrutiny, and every action, every word, would be dissected by those attending. A knock sounded at the door, and my father walked in. His presence always carried an air of authority, a reminder of the legacy I was expected to uphold. "Ronan," he began, closing the door behind him, "tonight is critical. The other clans will be watching you closely. You need to be on your best behavior." I turned to face him, straightening my tie. "Don’t worry, Father. I have no intention of embarrassing our family. I’ll speak with respect and maintain order." His eyes scanned my face, searching for any sign of doubt. Finding none, he nodded. "Good. Remember, their respect isn’t given it’s earned. Show them why you were chosen as the Supreme

    Ronan's POV The day was a blur of meetings, reports, and conversations, but my mind wasn’t in the room for any of it. Selene was all I could think about. The sight of her in that maid’s uniform, the resigned look on her face played on a loop in my head, making it impossible to focus.My mother had crossed a line, and I couldn’t shake the guilt that I hadn’t done enough to stop it.“Alpha Ronan?”I looked up to see my secretary standing at the door, her expression professional but tinged with concern.“It’s time to head home,” she said. “You have dinner with the other alphas and their sons this evening.”I nodded, dismissing her with a wave of my hand. Standing, I grabbed my jacket and briefcase, but as I walked out of my office, an idea struck me.On the way home, I made a quick stop at a card shop. It was a small place, tucked between a florist and a café, but it had what I needed. I browsed the aisles until I found the perfect card simple, with an elegant design. Inside, it read: I

    Selene's POV I was deep in a dreamless sleep when a knock startled me awake. Groaning, I rolled over, barely opening my eyes. My first thought was that it must be one of the maids. Slowly, I dragged myself out of bed, shivering as my bare feet hit the cold floor. Whoever it was, they were persistent, knocking again before I even reached the door.“I’m coming,” I muttered, annoyed, as I turned the handle and opened it.To my shock, standing on the other side was Ronan’s mother. Her cold, piercing eyes met mine, and before I could even greet her, she pushed past me, walking into the room with the air of someone who owned it.“Close the door,” she said curtly, not even sparing me a glance. My heart pounded in my chest as I obeyed, shutting the door and turning to face her. She stood in the center of the room, her arms crossed, her presence filling the space with an unspoken authority.“How did you meet my son?” she asked, her voice sharp and to the point.I opened my mouth to answer, bu

    Leo's POV I lounged in my oversized leather chair, the room was brightly lit by chandeliers. I had fashioned this space into my sanctuary, my so-called throne room. The walls were lined with artifacts and trophies of my victories, symbols of power I had accumulated over the years. This was my kingdom, and no one dared to question my reign.The heavy wooden doors creaked open, and two of my sentinels strode in, their heads bowed in deference. "Alpha," one of them began, his tone cautious, "we bring news from the Four Clans."I straightened in my chair, narrowing my eyes at them. "Speak.""The Alphas have chosen their candidate, and the coronation has already taken place," the second sentinel said, his words clipped. "Ronan of the Blackstone Pack has been crowned."Ronan. The name rolled through my mind like a bitter poison. That arrogant pup had bested me before, and now he had claimed a title that should have been mine. My jaw tightened, but I refused to let my anger show. "Is that s

    Ronan's POV I pushed open the heavy doors of my mother’s office without knocking. The tension that had been simmering since Selene’s encounter with her earlier was boiling over, and I needed answers. The scent of lavender filled the room, a stark contrast to the steely gaze my mother fixed on me as I stepped inside.“Ronan,” she said sharply, rising from her chair. “What were you thinking bringing that girl into this house?”I frowned, confusion etching itself onto my features. “What are you talking about?” I asked, keeping my tone calm despite the storm brewing inside me.“That girl,” she repeated, her voice laced with disdain. “Do you even know who she is?”I shook my head, feeling a flicker of unease. “What do you mean? She’s just someone who needed help. I don’t understand why you’re making such a big deal about this.”My mother sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. “The moment I saw her, I felt something… a pull. At first, I couldn’t place it, but then it hit me.” She looked
