The consorts had returned. Their laughter echoed faintly down the castle halls, but not one of them spoke of Serena. Not one of them remembered her.Naya, however, could not rest. She went to the human’s room, but the bed was untouched. Panic tightened her chest. She hurried straight to Lirvana.“Head Consort.” She bowed quickly. “The human… she is not with you?”Lirvana’s face shifted instantly into a mask of concern, though her eyes gleamed cold.“Ah, true… I haven’t seen her. Do you think perhaps she’s already gone back to her world?”Naya’s brow furrowed. “I think we should inform the King.”Lirvana’s lips softened into a sweet smile. “Of course. Leave that to me. You may go.”Naya hesitated, then bowed again and left.The moment the door shut, Lirvana smirked, her eyes flashing like knives.“By now… she should have learned her lesson.”************** (Throne Room)The Alpha King paced his chambers, silver eyes storm-dark. A strange pang lanced through his stomach,

Serena stumbled backward, her chest heaving. The massive black wolf stalked toward her, eyes glowing silver under the moonlight and burning with hunger.Though her body betrayed her with heat, she couldn’t bear the thought of being touched by the hungry, aroused beast before her.“St–stay away from me!” she stammered, her voice breaking.Her instincts screamed at her to run. She turned and bolted, but the Alpha was faster. She barely got a few steps before he pounced, pinning her flat against the ground.Her glasses slipped from her face, clattering onto the floor. Her vision blurred into a haze of shapes and shadows. She couldn’t tell what burned more…..the crushing weight of the wolf pressing her down or the panic and humiliation of being so utterly helpless. Hell, she couldn't even see clearly.“P–please… don’t touch me,” she begged, her breath shallow, chest rising and falling in panicked waves.The Alpha snarled low, his hot breath sliding down her neck. His tongue dragged hot

Lirvana clutched her head, dropping to her knees as the voice echoed again.It was piercing, like it was crawling through her skull.“Who are you?” she cried out.> “Help me... and I’ll tell you who I am.”Her breaths grew shaky.“Help you how?”> “Find the Moonmark.”“What?” she whispered, confused. “What is a Moonmark?”> “A mark…an etched moon symbol. Find its bearer.”Lirvana blinked hard, vision blurry.“How do I find the bearer?! Tell me!”Silence.The voice vanished just as suddenly as it came.“Ugh!”She let out a frustrated groan, slamming her palm against the floor. But there was one person who might be able to help her make sense of this.She would find them soon. She had to.But first... she had unfinished business.Her gaze darkened.Serena.Lirvana’s lips curled into something cold. “I’ll deal with you in a way you’ll never forget.”*************Kaelen sat in the throne room, his fingers gripping the armrest like it owed him something.Anger. That was all he felt. Burn

Kaelen stood in silence within his visiting chambers….the only place he ever allowed the Omegas and Betas he shared a bed with to enter. His real quarters, the ones he once shared with his mate, were sacred. Off-limits. Even he barely entered them anymore. He kept his back turned as the heavy doors were shoved open from the outside. A thud. Then silence. Serena stumbled in, catching herself before she hit the polished floor. She blinked rapidly and adjusted her glasses, it is something she does whenever she is nervous. Kaelen turned slowly. She was... beautiful. He didn’t want to notice, but it crept in anyway. Caramel-toned skin, soft golden—brown hair that curled a little at the ends. Fragile. But she seemed defiant. She doesn't belong here….at all. Serena’s throat tightened as she took in the room. It was huge. Cold. And at its centre sat a massive bed, dark sheets draped neatly across it. Her eyes darted to the towering man in front of her. "Was this it?" "Does he want

Serena was still on the ground. Her ears were ringing from the absurd demand she’d just heard.Mate? Pups?She blinked up at him, confused and breathless. “What the hell?”Her voice cracked a little. Slowly, she pushed herself upright, wincing as she brushed dust off her clothes.“I think you’ve got the wrong person. I’m human. We don’t… do the whole ‘mating’ thing. We get to know each other, date, kiss, have sex… human to human. And we have kids. Not furry little pups with fangs.”She swallowed hard. “Also, I didn’t mean to end up here. I was running for my life. There was a tiger.”She looked up again.Kaelen was staring at her—silent, unreadable. Like none of what she said mattered.So she stopped talking.“Look, human…”“Serena,” she corrected quietly.“I don’t care about your name.”Her throat dried instantly. All she managed was a quiet, “Okay.”He stepped closer. His voice was low and flat, like a blade she couldn’t see coming.“This bond ,whatever cursed thing led to it, means

The next morning, Serena began her search. She packed a small bag, made sure her phone and camera were fully charged, and hit the road. She drove from one forest to another, chasing rumors and blurry maps, hoping she’d find something…anything, that hinted at Selvayra’s existence. But nothing came up. By nightfall, she was exhausted. The moon was already out, glowing high in the sky as she made her way back to her car. She slipped into the driver’s seat and turned the key. Nothing. She tried again. Still nothing. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” she muttered, slamming the steering wheel. Her heart sank. She couldn’t spend the night out here. She was deep in some backroad forest, and there was no chance of another car driving by. Annoyed, Serena stepped out of the car with her bag and phone. She kicked the front tire out of frustration. Big mistake. “Ahh…dammit!” she groaned, hopping on one foot as pain shot up her leg. She raised her phone, but of course, there wa
