Prologue

King Tobias POVKing Tobias Bancroft gave a smug smile as he looked around the table at the people who were dining with him. He toyed with the stem of his crystal wineglass in front of him. The dark red liquid reminded him of the blood of his enemies, the blood he had spilled in order to get to the position he was in today — King of the Werewolf Kingdom.The long, ornate mahogany table was adorned with gold place settings. The most expensive long-stemmed roses in the entire realm sat in the centerpieces placed at precise spots along the length of the table.His court members were all in attendance, dressed in their very best, in rich fabrics and colors. The women wore exquisite evening gowns and ballgowns and decorated their bodies with glittering jewels. The men wore designer suits tailored in a perfect fit to their bodies.He had no regrets, none whatsoever, about the steps he and his father before him had taken in order to secure their rightful place on the throne. They guaranteed

Chapter 1

JuniperThe blaring alarm clock near my ears jolted me from my sleep. My eyes blinked open and shut as they tried to adjust to the light seeping in from around the room-darkening shades that covered the massive windows in my bedroom.I loved the view those windows provided of the sprawling forest during the day and the expansive heavens late at night, but I never failed to curse their existence in the early hours of the morning. No amount of room darkening curtains could mask the light from the blazing sun rising high into the sky.I squeezed my eyes tight, trying to block out the sound of the alarm and clinging to the last remnants of my dream. It was a futile act, as the memory went away like sand through my fingers at the beach.I flopped my body over with a groan. My arm searched the nightstand fruitlessly for the alarm to shut it off, only vaguely aware of what my hand was touching in place of where my alarm normally sat. It felt odd, like a small box with something crinkly and d

Chapter 2

LukasI lay awake in my king-sized bed. My body was on top of my navy blue comforter, watching as the hours ticked by on the clock that served as my screensaver on my iMac.It was five in the morning, which meant that I still had at least two more hours before Juniper would wake up for the day. Two more hours before I could text her and ask her to meet me. About three hours before I could see her, before I could tell the world that Juniper Costa was my mate, my future luna.Three hours until I could take her into my arms and hold her perfect, tiny, soft body against mine in something more than just a quick hug between two best friends. I could kiss her plump, pink lips, and be able to place my mating mark on the creamy, smooth skin of her neck. And she — she would know that Selene meant us for each other. She would feel the tingles and sparks of the mate bond I had felt for the last two years, since my own 19th birthday.I wish I could say that those two years had been easy for me, b

Chapter 3

JuniperNothing.There was nothing. No sparks, no magic pulse or zap or jolt or…Just skin touching skin.I grabbed the gifts, hugging them to my chest, blinking back tears. He was watching me, and I couldn’t tell anything about what he was feeling. I was obviously not his mate. He wouldn't be able to control his wolf the way he was if I were his mate. If I was his mate, I would be in his arms, his soft lips pressed against mine. If I was, he would have said, “Mine!” If I was, I would have felt something, anything, when we touched each other just now, but I felt nothing. Absolutely nothing.I walked to one bench near the well, quickly sitting and unwrapping the larger of the two gifts before we could speak any words between the two of us. I would not comment on the lack of a mate bond if he wasn’t going to, either. There was no reason to acknowledge something that obviously didn’t exist.The wrapping paper fell away, revealing an extensive set of colored pencils, the special high end

Chapter 4

Drew Wings. Fucking gold wings had just appeared out of my best friend’s back. And I didn’t mean small, delicate, wispy things. I’m talking giant, pure gold wings. They were still beautiful, don’t get me wrong. But they looked nothing like what I pictured when I imagined a fairy with wings. Because it was obvious that’s what she was. Not a witch. Never a witch. A fairy. A fucking Fae. In our pack. Out of all of our pack members, I should have known, should have realized when we were kids, that she wasn’t a witch. Her magic differed from mine, relying more on the elements rather than coming only from inside her and being limited by the amount of power held inside. Like I was. Being only half witch, I had a very limited power level inside of me. Not even half of the amount of power June had, if you didn’t include the power she could draw from the elements. If you included that, well, mine was a drop in the bucket compared to her power level. She reached behind her body, the matching

Chapter 5

Juniper Every person who was in my living room was currently acting like an idiot. Drew was sputtering like a fool and jumping off of the couch like there were ants in his pants, Myles was throwing Drew around like he weighed nothing, and my parents were watching everything that was happening with laughter in their eyes. And me? Well, I just wanted to know what the fuck was going on, and whether Drew was my mate. I had spent a lot of time focusing on what I was feeling around him, and thinking about what had happened, and I had concluded that we were not, in fact, mates. I couldn’t be sure until somebody told us with one hundred percent certainty. There were no sparks when we touched, and I had detected no hints of jealousy or possessiveness from Drew. Just his overwhelming need to protect me that had him needing me within arm’s reach at all times. “Okay,” I said, taking a deep breath. “I just — I need to know,” I began. “Is Drew my mate?” I finally asked, my voice barely audible

Chapter 6

Lukas I ran. As soon as I could tell she was no longer behind me, as soon as I heard her magically speed away from me, I took off in the opposite direction, shifting into my wolf with no regard for the clothes I had been wearing. And then I blacked out, my wolf taking over completely in his agony at still being unable to claim his mate. I did not know where he took us while he was in control. There was no memory of what he did while we were in that state. I was only aware of the pain that we were both feeling, the frustration and misery at our realization that, for whatever reason, our mate did not recognize us. When I finally regained control, I was at the edge of the training field, where the pack’s weekend practice was finishing up stretches and wolves were pairing up to spar against each other. I quickly grabbed a pair of basketball shorts from the basket placed at the edge of the trees for any wolves who needed clothing after ripping through theirs while shifting, and made my

Chapter 7

Everly The sounds of laughter and water splashing echoed through the clearing, bringing a smile to my lips where I sat watching my friends who were wading in the stream on our lands. I’d left the water under the pretense that I wanted to bask in the sun, knowing we would need to dry off soon to head to Juniper and Myles’s house for her birthday dinner. But really, I just wanted to process the discovery I had made when I arrived at the stream. I’d done a double take when I walked out of the trees, sure my eyes had been playing a trick on me at first. But there was no mistaking it — the pointed ears and the emerald eyes swirling with gold were dead giveaways — June was a fairy. A Fae. I opened my mouth to question it when I realized what I was seeing was fuzzy or grainy. Sort of how I would imagine things looking for humans who needed to wear glasses. I pursed my lips together and looked over at Myles, who was standing nearby talking with a warrior from our pack, Dave, and his mate,

Chapter 8

Lukas After driving for longer than I wanted to in order to get to my destination without having to stop at a hotel, I finally made it to the property of the academy that is run by my father’s old friend and ally, Alpha Philip Edwards. He was no longer in charge of his own pack; after he lost his mate to a rare disease, he handed over his pack to his younger brother. He then opened up an academy with an elite training program for what he liked to call “misfit wolves.” Basically, any wolf of alpha blood who wouldn’t inherit their title — usually wolves who were not the firstborn in the family — or any wolf looking to receive elite training to potentially move up in rank within their home pack or any other pack could enroll in the program. They came from all over. The alpha-blooded wolves w

Chapter 9

Lukas She looked immediately confused, craning her neck around to check me for a mark, but obviously found nothing. I shook my head at her, answering her unspoken question. “I can’t claim her yet.” I stopped there, giving her the short version, hoping she’d leave it at that. “I’m willing to play wing-man for you, though. While I’m here,” I counter offered, trying to get the focus off of myself. Her eyes darkened at my words and she looked down, tucking her light blonde hair behind her ear and throwing it back over her shoulder. She opened her mouth to reply to me, then closed it again, her eyes scanning the occupants of the bar. She was clearly searching for someone, or rather searching to make sure she didn’t see someone. I was immediately on alert, my body tense and ready to pick a figh
