SAGE“Alpha Ethan Blackwood of the Lunar Legion Pack has agreed to take you as his wife. Consider it a kindness.”“What?”The Alpha waved a hand dismissing me. And before I could even get a word out, I was being shoved aside by a pack soldier who saw it fit to cast me aside like a garbage.My stepfather can’t do this to me! No, he can’t!The weight of the world seemed to press against my chest as I stood in the dimly lit hall of my stepfather, Marcus’s house, with my hands clenched at my sides. It was as though the air itself was thick with the judgment of those who saw me as little more than a servant—an inconvenience. No one cared that my mother, once a proud warrior, had died protecting this pack. No one cared that I was her daughter. To them, I was nothing more than a slave. “I’ve made my decision, Sage.” His voice was low and cold, devoid of any affection or sympathy. This man who should have protected me after my mother’s death, stood before me with that familiar sneer etched a

The dim lights of the nightclub swirled around me, casting a haze over the already spinning room. The sharp tang of alcohol lingered on my lips, and I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks. I had never intended to drink this much, but here I was, sloshed and teetering on the edge of my own control, feeling lighter than I had in weeks.The music throbbed through the dimly lit club, the bass vibrating in my chest. For the first time in what felt like forever, I allowed myself to relax. I danced with Lily, my body swaying to the rhythm, the worries of my life momentarily pushed aside. I wanted to live. And I knew that once I was given to Alpha Ethan, my life would nothing but be subjected to his will. Lily leaned across the bar, her face flushed from laughter. “One more round, Sage!” she called over the pulsing music, grinning from ear to ear. I shook my head, giggling despite myself. “I think I’ve had enough.”Lily’s eyes twinkled mischievously, a side of her I didn’t see often. “Y

SAGEThe morning light filtered through the thin curtains, casting soft shadows across the room. I blinked slowly, my head pounding from last night's drinking, but it wasn’t just the hangover weighing me down. The events of the night came rushing back in a haze of heat and passion, and then… his rejection.I sat up in bed, the ache in my chest growing. The stranger—the man whose touch had left me breathless, whose presence had made me feel alive for the first time in so long—he was my mate. My fated mate. But the way he had looked at me afterwards, like I was something he needed to escape from, was burned into my memory. His words had cut through me like a blade: I reject you.I didn’t even know his name.The soft sound of footsteps brought me back to the present. Lily appeared in the doorway, her face concerned as she carried two cups of coffee. “You’re awake,” she said gently, sitting on the edge of the bed. “How are you feeling?”I took the cup she offered, wrapping my hands around

SAGEThe ceremony felt like a panic attack—one of those nightmares where you're running but never seem to escape. Everything about it was suffocating, the air was thick with tension, and I could barely breathe. Alpha Ethan stood tall and imposing beside me, his expression a cold mask and devoid of any emotion. I could feel his presence as a shadow looming over me, like an immovable force in this cruel reality I was being pushed into.They made me wear a bridal gown that looked like it had been worn by at least ten people. There were stains and a pungent smell, and it was at least two sizes bigger than mine. The Alpha of my pack and a handful of people gathered. Like I said before: it was more of a business transaction than a wedding. A lesser few of the Lunar Legion Pack were present. The vows were spoken, though they felt empty to me. His voice was steady and detached, while mine trembled with fear and resignation. I couldn’t even look at him. Every time I glanced up, my heart rac
Read moreFive: Confrontations in the Dark
SAGEThe heavy silence that lingered after Alpha Ethan's departure wrapped itself around the room, suffocating in its stillness. I stood there, watching Asher—Beta Asher—my chest tight with a strange mixture of anger, confusion, and hurt. His face, once familiar with passion, was now cold and his eyes were completely unreadable. How had it come to this? How had the man who had been my fated mate, chosen by the Goddess, become the source of my torment?I inhaled deeply, steadying my voice before shattering the quiet. I did not want to give him the impression that I was weak and that he did the right thing by rejecting the omega.“Did you know who I was? I mean, I was promised to your Alpha?” The words tumbled out faster than I had intended, and my voice betrayed the underlying bitterness.Asher’s expression remained neutral, but I saw the flicker in his eyes. “No,” he said calmly. “But something tells me you might have an idea.”I scoffed, unable to believe how he could stand there a
Read moreSix: Cold Night, Cold Hearts
SAGEI woke to the soft creak of the door, which was barely audible in the stillness of the night. My eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the faint light spilling in from the hallway. The scent hit me first—woodsmoke and something darker, something primal. Alpha Ethan.My husband.I turned slightly, careful not to make too much noise, and watched as he entered the room. He moved with a predatory grace, his broad shoulders spreading long shadows against the dim walls. The air seemed to thicken with his presence, his power filling the room like a dense fog. My heart beat faster, unsure if it was from fear or anticipation.He didn’t say a word, didn’t even glance in my direction as he removed his jacket, draping it over the back of a nearby chair. His movements were precise and methodical, but there was an underlying tension in the way he carried himself. Anger. It clung to him like a second skin, suffocating the already strained atmosphere between us.I sat up slowly, the cool sheets falli
Read moreSeven: Rising from the Ashes
SAGEAlpha Ethan’s words echoed in my mind, replaying like a cruel melody I couldn’t escape from. I don’t want to force this, but you know what’s expected of you. The pack demands an heir, and I can’t delay this any longer.An heir. That’s all I was to him. A vessel to fulfil his duty and nothing more. I stared blankly at the empty space where he had stood moments ago, the weight of everything pressing down on my chest. It was suffocating. I felt as if the walls of this room, this house, this entire life were closing in on me, trapping me in a reality I couldn’t escape from.I sat there for what felt like hours, my mind racing with thoughts I couldn’t sort through. Every part of me wanted to scream, to rage, to throw something and feel some release from the unbearable pressure building up inside. But I didn’t. I couldn’t. Instead, I reached for my phone, my fingers trembling slightly as I scrolled to the only person who might still care—Lily.Lily, my one true friend from the Wildwo

ASHERI was sprawled on the bed, staring at the ceiling aimlessly while my thoughts wandered anywhere and everywhere. I did not know why the Moon Goddess would play this cruel game with me, but it was vicious at its best. The soft light filtering through the curtains did nothing to chase away the shadows in my head. Every breath felt heavy, like a weight pressing down on my chest. I couldn’t escape it—this feeling of being trapped, bound by ties I didn’t ask for but couldn’t break.I had a chosen mate, one who loved me yet couldn’t take me or claim me, and then I met Sage—my fated mate—one whom I rejected right away because my heart already belonged somewhere else. And now, she is right here, with fate taunting me at every step.Sage…my mate, and that bond was undeniable. The pull of her scent, the quiet strength she exuded, the way her presence seemed to fill the spaces between us with a force that was as magnetic as it was painful. It was maddening. Fate had thrown her into my path
Read moreNine: Passion
ASHERI do not remember the exact moment I fell in love with Ethan. But the idea of calling him mine, the idea of being gazed at by him was always titillating. It wasn’t some soft, fleeting thing. No, love with Ethan was never going to be gentle or kind. It was fire and fury, all-consuming in a way that left no room for anything else. And it started that night, the first night he truly showed me what it meant to be his.We were young boys, training late in the night, the kind of night where the air was thick with tension, our bodies worn from the intensity of sparring. I was exhausted, pushing myself harder than usual, trying to match him punch for punch, step for step because watching him work harder against me was kind of a personal win. But Ethan was always one step ahead, always stronger, always more.I’d admired him long before that—his power, his strength, the way he commanded respect without ever needing to raise his voice. But that night, something changed. It wasn’t just ab
Read moreTen: Awkward Conversations
ASHERThe next morning, sunlight filtered through the curtains, bathing the room in a soft glow. I shifted slightly beneath the covers, my body still aching from the night before. The memories of Ethan, rutting into me and everything else. Ethan’s arm was draped possessively over me, his warmth pulling me back toward the edge of sleep. But there was no escaping the reality that waited outside this room.I stirred, careful not to wake him, though part of me knew he wasn’t asleep. Ethan was never fully at rest, not even when he allowed himself these stolen moments with me. As soon as my body moved away from his, I felt his grip tighten slightly, a subtle reminder that he wasn’t ready to let go. Not yet.“Ash,” his voice rumbled against my ear, low and commanding, “where do you think you’re going?”I glanced over my shoulder at him, my heart skipping a beat at the intensity in his gaze. “We need to get ready,” I whispered, though there was no real reason to whisper. No one would dare ent
