Betrayed on her wedding day, banished while carrying her mate’s child, and left to fend for herself in a ruthless world, Eirene Sylver-Stone never expected a second chance at love—especially not with the half-brother of the man who cast her aside. Alpha Aldar Storm despises weakness, and yet, fate binds him to the very woman his brother rejected. When Eirene flees his pack with a secret growing inside her, she believes she has escaped the cruelty of powerful Alphas. But six years later, her past catches up to her, dragging her back into a deadly game of power, betrayal, and revenge.
View MoreEIRENEAria’s voice was sharp, cutting through the heavy silence like a blade. Her eyes darted between me and the healer, disbelief clouding her face.“I can’t be pregnant,” I said, my voice shaking. My hands trembled as I tried to sit up, my body still weak from blood loss. “Please, healer… do something. Make me lose this child. I can’t—”“What?” The healer’s face twisted in shock.“You heard her,” Aria snapped, stepping closer to the bed. “She doesn’t want this.”I turned to the healer desperately. “Give me something. Anything. Please.”The healer hesitated.And then—A hand shot out, grabbing the small vial before the healer could place it in my palm.Alpha Aldar.He stood beside me, his towering presence sending a chill through the room. His fingers curled around the glass vial before he threw it into the nearby basin. The sound of shattering glass echoed through the air.I whipped my head toward him. “Alpha!” I yelled, my voice raw with frustration.But he ignored my protest. Ins
EIRENEI let out a bitter laugh. “She provokes me first.”He sighed, running a hand through his dark hair. “Eirene, you don’t understand how this world works. She isn’t someone you want as an enemy.”I took a step back, wrapping my arms around myself. “I think we both know she was already my enemy the moment you let her be.”His jaw clenched. “This isn’t about letting her be.”“No?” I let out a humorless chuckle. “Then what is it about, Aldar? Because it sure as hell seems like you enjoy watching her humiliate me.”His eyes darkened. “Watch your tone.”I scoffed. “Or what? You’ll throw me away?”Something flickered in his expression, something sharp, but it was gone before I could place it.“You’re a stubborn little thing,” he muttered. “You should be thanking me for interfering just now.”I narrowed my eyes. “You didn’t interfere for my sake.”His lips curved, but it wasn’t a smile. “Think what you want, Eirene. Just stay out of trouble.”And with that, he turned and walked away, lea
EIRENEHer voice was calm, almost amused, as if my pain meant nothing to her.I looked up, my vision blurring with unshed tears, but I refused to cry in front of her.Aria’s voice snapped through the air. “Get your filthy foot off her.”Leila scoffed but stepped back, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction as she watched the blood drip from my fingers.I cradled my injured hand, the pain throbbing with each pulse of my heart. Aria grabbed a cloth from the table, wrapping it around the wound. Her hands were steady, but her face was pale with rage.“I swear to the moon, Eirene,” she hissed under her breath. “One day, they’re going to regret this.”I forced a shaky breath. My mind was still spinning, my chest tight with emotions I couldn’t untangle.Aldar’s cold words.Annika’s cruel laughter.Leila’s merciless warning.I was trapped.And for the first time, I realized just how alone I was in this pack.—I sat on the edge of my bed, my injured hand resting in my lap. The bandages were tigh
EIRENEI woke up to the weight of an arm draped across my waist, warmth radiating from the body beside me. For a moment, I stayed still, my mind catching up to the events of last night. The tension. The fire. The momentary surrender.Aldar.He shifted slightly, his breath warm against my skin. My fingers twitched against the sheets, heart hammering in my chest. I should move. I should push him away. But for some reason, I didn’t.Instead, I exhaled slowly, carefully peeling his arm off me and slipping from the bed. The room was dim, the early morning sun barely creeping through the curtains. I reached for my robe, tying it tightly around myself as I turned to glance at him.He was awake.His storm-gray eyes locked onto mine, unreadable, calculating. Something flickered in them—something I couldn’t name. I opened my mouth, but before I could speak, he sat up, running a hand through his disheveled hair. He looked troubled.I watched as he inhaled sharply, his expression darkening before
EIRENEThen Aldar’s voice, sharp despite the slur. “Get out.”The maid hesitated, but when his gaze locked onto her, she all but ran from the room. Aria lingered a second longer, looking at me, but I gave her a small nod.She followed the maid out.I turned the lock behind them.Then faced Aldar.He was swaying slightly, fingers flexing and unflexing at his sides, breathing heavy like he’d just come from a fight.“You’re wasted,” I said.His jaw clenched. He looked like he wanted to argue, but instead, he turned away, running a hand over his face.Silence stretched between us.Then, quietly, “You were about to drink that.”It wasn’t a question.I crossed my arms. “Yes.”His shoulders tensed. “Don’t drink anything you don’t prepare yourself.”I frowned. “What was in it?”Aldar exhaled, shaking his head. “I don’t know.”I narrowed my eyes. “But you suspected something.”He didn’t answer.I stepped closer. “If you thought it was poisoned, why not punish the maid?”“She wouldn’t know,” he
EIRENEAria tightened the last strap on my dress, her fingers moving quickly, efficiently. She’d been silent since she entered the room, eyes lowered, movements careful. I watched her in the mirror, waiting, my patience thinning with every passing second.She was hiding something.“Aria,” I said.She didn’t stop adjusting my sleeves. “Yes, my lady?”My lady. She only used that when she was avoiding something.“You were about to say something earlier. Right before Aldar walked in, is there anything happening in this place, you don’t have to be scared , you can tell me I won’t tell anyone.”Aria hesitated, just for a fraction of a second, but I caught it.“It’s nothing important.”Liar.I turned around, grabbing her wrist before she could step back. “Then say it.”Aria looked up at me, and for the first time since I met her, there was fear in her eyes. Real fear.“I can’t,” she whispered.A cold weight settled in my stomach.“Can’t or won’t?” I pressed.Her lips parted, then shut again.
“You are out of your damn mind, you keep shut or I silence that mouth for you”Aldar’s voice was low, rough—dangerous. The moment he stepped into Annika’s chambers, his rage filled the space like a wildfire ready to consume everything in its path.Annika barely spared him a glance. She sat in front of her vanity, combing through her long, dark hair, her reflection smirking back at him. “Oh? And here I thought I was doing you a favor.”Aldar moved swiftly, yanking the comb from her hands and tossing it aside. It clattered to the floor. “A favor?” His voice dripped with disbelief. “You humiliated her in front of the entire pack.”“Oh so this is about your pet?” she said, her brow raised with a sly smile and then turned her back to him.“Annika.” Aldar shot at her, his voice filled with tension.Annika finally turned, crossing her arms over her chest, completely unfazed by the towering alpha before her. “And? She needed to learn her place. She’s not one of us. She doesn’t deserve—”“She
EIRENEI was in deep thought but it was cut short when I heard a knock on the door.“I was sent here by the Alpha, he asked me to relay a few messages to you.”The maid’s voice was quiet, but the weight of her words sent a chill down my spine.I sat on the bed, fingers curled into the sheets, my body still aching from yesterday’s events. I had expected this. Expected him to summon me like I was nothing more than a tool to be used. Still, hearing it out loud made my stomach twist.I swallowed. “Ofcourse, he couldn't wait any longer, tell him I’ve changed my mind. I’ll do whatever he wants.”The maid didn’t blink. “He knows.”“What?” The maid continued, “He just wants you to know you will serve him tonight.”A sharp pressure built in my chest. “That soon?”She didn’t respond. She turned on her heel and walked out, leaving me in suffocating silence.I clenched my fists. I want to survive. I have no choice.But before I could even gather my thoughts, the door slammed open.I whipped arou
EIRENE“You’re awake.”The deep, commanding voice sent a shiver through me. My eyelids felt like they were made of lead, my body aching as if I’d been trampled by a stampede. Blinking, I forced my eyes open, my vision swimming before it slowly cleared.A stranger stood at the foot of the bed.Tall. Broad. Power radiated from him like a force field, his presence so imposing that my instincts screamed at me to be cautious. His sharp, storm-gray eyes assessed me with an unreadable expression. He was handsome in a severe way—harsh angles, a strong jaw, lips pressed into a firm line.And then the scent hit me.Alpha.Panic flared in my chest. I bolted upright, ignoring the throbbing in my skull as I scanned my surroundings. The room was unfamiliar—large, yet cold, with stone walls and minimal furniture. No windows. Only a single door. A cage without bars.“Where am I?” My voice was hoarse, barely above a whisper.The Alpha crossed his arms. “My pack.”I swallowed hard. “And you are?”“Alda
EIRENEThe night was alive with silver moonlight, casting a haunting glow over the clearing. The annual Moonlight Celebration was supposed to be a sacred tradition, a night where fated mates strengthened their bond before the pack. It should have been the most important night of my life. Instead, something felt off.And then I saw her.Annika.She wasn’t supposed to be here.I strode through the crowd, ignoring the whispers that followed me. My white ceremonial dress flowed behind me, but the unease crawling up my spine made it feel like a shroud.“Why are you here?” My voice was cold, cutting through the murmurs around us.Annika turned with a practiced, innocent smile. “I’m here to help you, of course.”I narrowed my eyes. “Help me?”She sighed as if I were the problem. “You aren’t familiar with the customs, Eirene. I grew up learning these things. I thought you could use the guidance.”Before I could snap back, Rane’s deep voice came from behind me.“She should be here.”I turned t...
