Chapter: NO WAY OUT It's been two days since the gala disaster, two days since my failed escape attempt. I hunched over my bathroom toilet, emptying what little breakfast I'd managed to eat. Something was wrong. My approaching heat usually brought fever and aches, but this felt different."Elena?" Mia's worried voice came through the door. "Let me in, or I swear I'll break it down."I'd been avoiding everyone since that night, but Mia had climbed through my window an hour ago, refusing to leave. Crawling to the door, I unlocked it."Holy shit." She rushed to my side. "You look terrible.""Thanks," I croaked, accepting the damp washcloth she pressed to my forehead. "Just what every girl wants to hear.""Cut the jokes." Mia felt my pulse, her nurse training showing. "These aren't normal heat symptoms. Your heart's racing, and—" She froze, nostrils flaring. "Elena... your scent..."Ice flooded my veins. "What about it?""It's... different. Like when my sister was..." Her eyes widened. "Oh my god.""No." I s

Chapter: THE GALA AND THE FALLOUT The gala sparkled with fake smiles and old money, crystal Lanterns casting shadows over pack politics. I tugged at my conservative blue gown, my skin still burning from Lucas’s touches the night before. Every movement reminded me of our night together, every tick of the clock counting down to my approaching heat."Elena." Richard Thompson appeared beside me, his smirk shallow, his eyes void of warmth. "You look... adequate."I fought the urge to pull away from his touch as his hand settled on my lower back. "Thank you for the invitation.""Oh, it won’t be the only thing I give you." His fingers dug into my spine, possessive. "Your father has already agreed to the match. Smart man, knowing damaged goods need a quick sale."My wolf stirred, a sharp, unfamiliar defiance rising within me.Lucas's influence.Even after just one night, he had awakened something in me—something stronger, something that refused to cower.A commotion erupted at the entrance. The air shifted. Murmurs swelled ar

Chapter: POINT OF NO RETURN Elena's POVThe Club pulsed with energy, strobe lights cutting through artificial fog as bodies moved on the dance floor. I tugged at the hem of Mia's black dress, feeling simultaneously powerful and exposed."Stop fidgeting!" Mia shouted over the music, pressing a brightly colored drink into my hand. "You look hot! Own it!"She wasn't wrong. The dress hugged curves I usually hid under conservative clothing, and I'd let my dark hair fall in waves past my shoulders instead of the tight bun Sarah insisted on. For once, I didn't look like the perfect, submissive Omega."I still can't believe I'm here," I yelled back, taking a sip of the drink. Sweet with a kick – just like freedom."Better than sitting at home planning your wedding to Richard!"I choked on my drink. "How did you—""Please." Mia rolled her eyes. "My mom's on the Council. I heard all about Sarah pushing for the match." She grabbed my arm. "Speaking of hot guys who aren't Richard... Don't look now, but Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Dan

Chapter: THE WEIGHT OF BELONGING ELENA'S POV"Elena! Where are my silk sheets?" Sarah's voice sliced through the pack house like a whip. "If you ruined them in the wash again—"I gritted my teeth, folding another stack of linens. "They're drying outside, Mrs. Walker. The dry cleaner said—""Outside? Are you trying to ruin them? Honestly, Elena, do you have any common sense?"Breathe. Don’t react. At twenty-three, I should be free to make my own choices. Instead, I was stuck playing servant for my stepmother, the Luna of the Southern Pack."I’ll bring them in now," I muttered, already moving."No need. I'll have Rosa do it. At least she knows how to handle quality items."I clenched my jaw. "Of course. Anything else?""Yes." A slow, satisfied smile spread across her face. "Your father wants to see you in his office. Something about another complaint from the Council."My stomach twisted. Council meetings meant one thing—more reminders of how I was an embarrassment to the pack. I barely nodded before turning to leave.

Chapter: BETWEEN THE PINES AND THE PASTLUCIAN"How's my baby doing?" I asked again, this time more softly, letting the words settle in the tense air between us. I didn’t raise my voice, didn’t press her—just let it hang there like a question the wind might carry away. But Lilith still didn’t answer. Her silence wasn’t just silence—it was deliberate. Her head turned slightly to the side, her face angled away from mine as if the question itself had wounded her.I watched her closely, narrowing my eyes slightly, trying to read something—anything—in her expression. But all I saw was a quiet sorrow that seemed to have rooted itself in her features. It clung to her like a shadow she couldn’t outrun. There was no fear, no rebellion, no fire left in her eyes. Only that strange, fragile sadness that made her seem smaller somehow, less the weapon she had once been and more like someone who had never wanted to be here in the first place.She had finally been brought to me, after everything.Two warriors stood behind her, their hands

Chapter: WHEN SHADOWS RETURNSELENAI remained still as the warriors departed to their various camp sites, their boots thudding softly against the packed earth as they disappeared into the distance. I didn’t push too much or ask to go along with any of the groups—I already knew Lucian wouldn’t allow it. He had made that clear in his quiet, protective way. So I remained in the Alpha's quarters, where the walls still smelled faintly of firewood and pine, and the air was thick with silence.I remained inside for most of the day, the walls of the Alpha's quarters holding me in a silence I couldn't shake. Time passed slowly, the shadows shifting across the floor as the sun moved through the sky. It wasn't until the light began to soften—when afternoon bled quietly into evening—that I finally stepped outside.The air was cooler now, touched with the faint promise of dusk. I walked beneath the open sky, letting the quiet settle over me like a second skin. Behind the main hall, I found my usual place beneath the old tree

Chapter: ONE FELL TO WARN THE RESTLUCIANThe moment I stepped towards Lilith’s horse, the atmosphere thickened.My warriors, all standing behind me like a silent wall of iron and flesh, had already raised their weapons halfway. Their eyes were sharp, unblinking, fixed on the men in front of them like predators sizing up wounded prey. Not one of them spoke, but I could feel the tension in their limbs — a hunger for the fight that now hovered just inches from breaking loose.I didn’t need to tell them to stay alert. They knew.My sword hung across my chest, heavy and ready, but still untouched. In my right hand, I held my knife. Its hilt was warm from my grip, and the blade gleamed faintly beneath the dying sunlight. It felt like it was thirsting for something — like it had sensed blood already, waiting to be drawn. A blade that had tasted many throats now hungered again.“I will get her now,” I said, stepping forward and positioning myself directly in front of Lilith’s horse. My voice was steady, controlled, but beneat

Chapter: WHAT YOU BRING I WILL TAKELUCIANI chose to be at the border myself.Not just because I was the Alpha or because I needed to be in control, but because Adrian had made a promise — one I had every reason to doubt.Three days ago, he told me he would send his daughter to Bloodfang. He said she would come willingly. He said this child she now carried — the child that was mine — would be delivered into this world under my watch. And now, the time had come to see if that promise meant anything at all.Since dawn, we had been watching. My warriors and I took turns patrolling the border. Some perched in trees, others stationed at ground level. The rest, like me, waited quietly in the shade of thick trees near the northern gate, eyes trained on the horizon, ears listening for the faintest hoofbeat or the sound of armor clinking from afar.The sun had risen slowly, casting gold over the tall grass that swayed with the morning breeze. But now it stood directly above us, blazing hot and unforgiving. The sky was clear, no

Chapter: THE ALPHA'S BURDENLUCIANThe air in the Hall was heavy. The long shadows from the narrow windows stretched across the stone floor like silent witnesses to the tension seated around the table. One by one, the elders had filed into the chamber, their faces carved with expectation and quiet concern. Some whispered to each other in low tones, but those voices quieted the moment I stepped through the arched doors.I walked in with slow, steady steps, my heart pounding not with fear, but with the weight of what I was about to say. They needed to hear it. All of it. There was no more space for silence or half-truths. The time had come to lay everything bare.I stood before them and cleared my throat. The silence thickened, and all eyes rose to meet mine—curious, wary, but alert."Elders of our pack," I began, my voice calm yet firm, "I welcome you all here again today."I paused, allowing the words to settle in the room like dust. Their attention didn’t waver. No one looked away, not even for a moment."You m

Chapter: A CALL TO COMMITMENTLUCIANBy the time I stepped out into the open grounds, the warriors had already gathered in impressive numbers. The moment my boots met the gravel, I felt the sheer weight of their presence—the murmurs of conversation, the metallic clink of swords and spears brushing against armor, the stomping of heavy boots as more still arrived, eager and alert. Some were already lined in formation, while others filed in from different directions, their movements brisk and focused. The scent of sweat and iron filled the evening air, mingling with dust that rose under their feet.But what caught my attention next was the group of elders assembling near the western edge of the grounds. Clad in their traditional dark robes, each one bore an expression of concern and anticipation. Their age-worn faces, lined with decades of battle and wisdom, turned toward me the moment I approached. Elder Garrick stepped forward from among them, his silver hair glinting faintly under the morning sun.“I'll see the el

Chapter: THE TRAP IS SETTwo weeks had passed since Lily had made herself at home. Redesign works were going on in her own house so she was staying at Damian's for the mean time, and each day Calla found herself more and more isolated. Lily spent every day in the house, and at night, she shared Damian's bed. Meanwhile, Calla could barely bring herself to eat at the table, too intimidated by Lily’s presence. The women never spoke to each other. Whenever Damian left the house, Lily would ignore Calla completely, and Calla retreated to her room, avoiding any interaction. Their silence was suffocating, yet it was the only way Calla could keep herself together.That day, as Calla went out of her room to the kitchen in search of food, her nerves were on edge. She had skipped breakfast because Lily and Damian were eating together. Her stomach growled, but her mind was consumed by the strained tension in the house. She grabbed some bread from the kitchen and began eating. As she chewed, a voice from behind startled h

Chapter: A NEW WOMAN A month had passed since Calla’s court wedding to Damian. On the outside, things seemed to be going smoothly. She was living in his luxurious home, attended to by maids, and her meals were always on time. The large house felt strangely comforting, though there was an eerie sense of emptiness that lingered. She never expected her life to be this way—married to a man who barely spoke to her or looked at her. But she had grown accustomed to it, finding solace in the small routine of her days. At least it was better than getting disdainful remarks every single minute she showed her face.She started having a crush on him. She had tried to push her feelings aside remembering his words that she was just a repayment for a debt, but it wasn’t easy. Who could blame her? He was undeniably handsome, his sharp features set in a permanent cool expression, his presence commanding attention. She found herself drawn to him more than she cared to admit. But that attraction was beginning to evolve into

Chapter: A SILENT AGREEMENT The car ride was suffocatingly silent. Calla sat stiffly in the passenger seat, her hands clasped tightly in her lap, her eyes fixed on the blur of city lights outside the window. Damian didn’t speak, his focus entirely on the road ahead. The only sound was the low hum of the engine and the occasional rustle of fabric as she shifted uncomfortably in her seat.She stole glances at him occasionally, trying to read his expression, but his face was unreadable. His sharp jawline was set, his dark eyes focused, and his hands gripped the steering wheel with a quiet intensity. She wondered what he was thinking. Did he regret this? Did he see her as nothing more than a burden, a repayment for a debt? Or was there something else, something deeper, that she couldn’t yet understand?They pulled up to a hotel, its grand facade illuminated by soft golden lights. Damian parked the car and finally broke the silence. “What happened to you?” he asked, his voice low but firm. “How did you get the scar?

Chapter: THE BARGAIN The doorbell rang, its sharp chime slicing through the tension in the room like a knife. Calla’s heart leapt into her throat, her hands trembling as she clutched the edge of the table. Her father, Charles, straightened in his seat, his expression was unreadable. “That must be your husband,” he said, his voice cold and detached, as if he were discussing a business transaction rather than the fate of his own daughter.Daniel, her stepbrother, smirked and walked toward the door, his movements slow and deliberate, as if he were savoring every moment of her discomfort and anxious. Calla’s stomach churned as she watched him reach the door. She hated the way he looked at her, the way he always seemed to revel in her pain and misfortune.The door creaked open, and there he was.Damian Blackwood.Calla’s breath hitched as her eyes landed on him. He was not what she had expected. She had imagined someone older, someone cruel and hardened, with a face that matched the coldness of his demands fo

Chapter: SOLD LIKE AN OBJECT The room was dark, lit only by the pale glow of the moon filtering through the half-open curtains. She sat on her bed, knees drawn to her chest, staring at the wall.Another restless night.It had been this way for years—sleepless, haunted by a house that had never been home. A place where she had no voice, no worth. She had learned to survive in the cracks, to make herself small and invisible. But survival came at a cost. The weight of it pressed down on her chest, suffocating her.Then—The door burst open.Her body stiffened as a shadow loomed in the doorway, tall and imposing, filling the space with an oppressive energy. She didn’t need to see his face to know who it was. She recognized the stance, the way he carried himself with an air of entitlement. And that smirk that disgusted her—always that smirk.Her stepbrother, Daniel Everly. A cold chill ran down her spine as she scrambled to her feet, pressing herself against the wall as if it could swallow her whole. Her heart pounde

Chapter: SHADOWS OF THE PAST Lila's POVI stared at the plate in front of me, my stomach twisting into knots. Steak. Mashed potatoes. Steamed vegetables. Simple, yet perfect. It smelled incredible—exactly how I remembered. Adrian knew how to cook. For a moment, I was thrown back in time, to nights when he would return from his ridiculous late-night meetings, roll up his sleeves, and make us dinner because he didn’t trust anyone else to get the seasoning right. To the way he’d smirk when I stole bites from his plate, acting like he was annoyed but never once stopping me. Back when I thought we were happy. But it was all a lie. I tightened my grip around the fork, forcing myself to stay in the present. Those memories meant nothing now. They were just pieces of something that had shattered beyond repair. Adrian sat across from me, watching me too closely.He had barely touched his own food. “You’re not eating?” I asked, my voice colder than I intended. He leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. “

Chapter: TRAPPED WITH THE ENEMY Adrian's POV How do normal people deal with news of their ex wife's pregnancy? And how the hell am I supposed to react to the cryptic message that says that one ex of mine is about to be killed?“Bastards!

New York's very own hell hole. It was a well known destination for crimes and criminals. I parked my car a block away, jumping out without bothering to turn off the engine. The streets were eerily quiet, the kind of silence that screamed danger. My fingers itched to pull out my gun, but I needed to be quick. Quiet.Her apartment was on the second floor of a dilapidated building. Pathetic security. One jump, one grip, and I was already scaling the fire escape. The window was locked, but a wel

Chapter: THE UNWANTED PROTECTOR Lila's POV“You know it has been one of your dreams to go to Florida, Lila,” Sophie said softly, watching my wary expression with concern. “Yeah, on vacation.” I let out a humorless laugh, my eyes stinging with unshed tears. “Not like this. Not because I’m running away.” Sophie sighed, reaching out to hold my hand, but I pulled away. “Lila, please… you can’t stay here,” she whispered. “Why would you even want to? After everything he did to you—” “I’m not staying because of him, goddammit!” I snapped, yanking my hands to my lap. “I built my life here! My job, my friends…everything I’ve worked for is here.” Sophie’s lips pressed into a thin line, her eyes filled with frustration. “But at what cost? You can’t tell me you don’t see it, Lila. This city is a graveyard of your past. And Adrian…” She exhaled sharply, shaking her head.I turned away, swallowing the lump in my throat. I didn’t want to think about Adrian. I needed to change the subject. Pushing to my feet, I forced

For a moment, I thought I saw a glimmer of emotion. But it was quickly extinguished, replaced by his usual indifference.“Are you serious?” He asked, his voice sounding amused.“Yes, I am. I want a divorce, Adrian.” I nodded, giving a firm response.He reclined back in his chair as a smirk spread across his face. “Why?” He asked in one word.“I know,” A knot formed in my throat as I struggled to find the words. “I know about her. Your secretary.”For a moment, there was silence. Then he smiled, leaning forward slightly. “And?”I felt a chill run through me at his cold response. I had prepared myself for denial, maybe even anger, but not this. “And?” I repeated, my voice cracking. “That's all you have to say?”He shrugged, picking up his fork and stabbing the food on his plate. “What do you want me to say
