Claimed by the Midnight Alpha
They thought breaking me would make me weak. But they only made me stronger."
Aria Moonshade was born a warrior. Rejected by her fated mate. Cast aside like a broken toy. She rebuilt herself with fire in her heart and vengeance in her blood.
But when Alpha Kael of the Midnight Pack forcibly claims her as his mate, she’s thrust back into a world of power, politics, and danger she thought she’d left behind.
Cursed to lose his wolf unless he bonds with a female, Kael is cold, demanding, and relentless. He doesn’t care about love, only about breaking the curse. But Aria is no one’s pawn. She doesn’t want to be his mate, and doesn't need his protection. And yet, their bond grows stronger with every passing day.
As enemies close in, Aria must decide will she stay and break Kael’s curse, or will she tear everything down to reclaim her freedom
One thing’s for sure: She’s not the same broken girl she once was. Now, she’s a force to be reckoned with.
The Midnight Alpha thought he could control her. But she’s about to show him that no one owns her heart, not even fate.

Chapter: The Bond Breaker's PriceChapter FiveThe fortress was too quiet.Aria paced across Luna's chamber, her feet bare against the cold stone floor. Her wounds had mostly healed, but her chest still aches like something had been ripped out and sewn back in.She hadn’t slept since the witch’s attack.“Still restless?” Lyra asked from the door.“I feel like something’s coming,” Aria murmured. “Like the air itself is warning me.”Lyra walked in, arms folded. “You're not wrong. Zane hasn’t retreated. He’s regrouping.”“And the witch?”“Gone. But not far.”Aria looked out the window. The moon was full and sharp.“She wants our bond broken. And I think she’ll try again. But next time… it won’t be just magic.”Lyra was silent for a moment. Then she said, “The curse didn’t just attack your connection to Kael. It did something else.”Aria turned.“What do you mean?”Lyra hesitated. “I didn’t want to say it yet. But… your wolf has changed. She’s stronger. Wilder.”Aria blinked. “How do you know?”“I saw her in your eyes tha

Chapter: The Witch's Curse Chapter FourThe night was thick with fog, the air damp and still, as if the earth itself was holding its breath.Aria stood at the northern ridge, her senses heightened, eyes locked on the distant forest that marked the edge of their territory. Every hair on her body was on edge. Her wolf paced restlessly beneath her skin, pushing against the barrier of her human form.She glanced over at Kael, who stood beside her, silent, his arms crossed. His usual calm presence was tinged with something darker tonight his jaw clenched, his gaze fixed ahead, unblinking.“They’re gathering,” Lyra said from behind them, her voice low and laced with tension. “Just beyond the trees.”“Zane?” Aria asked, her heart already pounding. She knew the answer before it left her lips.Lyra nodded. “And the witch.”Aria felt a cold shiver crawl up her spine. “What kind of witch?”Lyra took a slow breath. “A cursed one. Banished by her own kind. Dark magic. Twisted soul.”Kael growled low in his throat, the sound

Chapter: Trust Has teethChapter ThreeThe air was colder that night.Aria’s heart pounded as she followed Lyra through the secret tunnel beneath the western wing. The stone walls dripped with moisture, and the silence pressed against her ears.“Where are you taking me?” Aria whispered.“To the council’s inner chamber,” Lyra replied, voice steady. “Elder Varyn holds meetings here. Unseen. Unheard.”“And Kael doesn’t know?”Lyra stopped and turned. “Alpha Kael believes Varyn is loyal. But I’ve heard things. I’ve seen things. Zane isn’t working alone.”Aria’s fists clenched.The deeper they went, the stronger the scent of betrayal became. Cold. Bitter. Familiar.She didn’t trust me easily. Not anymore.But something about Lyra’s conviction made her follow.They reached a small opening covered by thick vines. Lyra crouched, signaling her to stay low.“Listen.”Voices echoed through the crack in the stone.“…she’s not just some she-wolf,” came Elder Varyn’s voice. “She’s the key to breaking the Alpha.”Zane’s voi

Chapter: The Past Has ClawsChapter TwoThe note burned in Aria’s palm.Zane is here.Her chest tightened. The scent of betrayal from years ago stirred deep in her memory. Cold eyes. His voice when he’d said, “You’re not enough.”Aria had sworn she’d never feel that sting again. But here it was sharp, fresh, and right outside her door.She looked out the window, but the forest was quiet now. No silver wolf. No more signs.Still, her wolf was restless.We’re being watched.Aria didn’t sleep.She spent the night pacing her chamber, her mind spinning with questions.What was Zane doing in Kael’s territory? Why send her a warning? Was he trying to save her or control her again?Morning came in silence.And with it, a summons.“Come.”Kael’s voice was firm when she entered the war hall. He stood before a large table carved from black stone. Maps spread across it territory lines, attack routes, pack borders. His beta stood nearby. Broad-shouldered. Silent. Scar down his jaw.Kael didn’t look at her as she entered.“Yo

Chapter: The Bite of PowerCHAPTER OneThe full moon bled red.Aria’s claws dug into the dirt as she raced through the burning trees of Moonshade. Smoke choked the air. The screams of her pack echoed behind her wolves howling, bones snapping, fires crackling through the sacred forest.She didn't look back.She couldn’t.She’d seen what those Midnight wolves had done to the others tearing through warriors like they were nothing. They didn’t fight fair. They fought to conquer.Her legs burned, heart pounding in her chest like a war drum. Her wolf snarled inside, ready to turn and fight. But Aria forced her down.No. Not now.She was a fighter, yes. A warrior. But she wasn't stupid. Charging straight into death wasn’t bravery, it was waste.She needed to survive.The ground trembled as a massive shape landed behind her. Too heavy. Too fast.Alpha.Her heart skipped.A black blur tackled her to the ground. She slammed hard into the soil, the wind knocked from her lungs.Before she could move, claws pinned her down.
