"Put her in the trunk," Marcus orders his men. "It's time to go home."Two mercenaries grab my arms, dragging me toward the back of the SUV."Stop fighting, princess," one of them says. "You're only making this harder on yourself.""Please," I beg. "You don't understand. He's going to kill my father.""Not our problem. We're getting paid to deliver you, nothing more."That's when I hear it. A low growl that makes every hair on my body stand up. It's coming from the tree line.The mercenaries freeze. "What was that?""Probably just a rogue wolf," Marcus says from the car. "Ignore it and get her loaded."The growl comes again, closer this time. In the darkness between the trees, I can see two glowing eyes reflecting the headlights."That's not a rogue," one of the mercenaries whispers. "That's something else."A massive black wolf steps into view. He's huge, bigger than any wolf I've ever seen."Shit," Marcus breathes. "Where did that come from?"The wolf moves with deadly grace, circli

The carriage wheels bump over the rough road leading deeper into Shadowmoon territory. I'm sitting across from the two guards who captured me, my hands bound with silver chains that burn against my skin. They haven't said much since we left the border, but I can feel them watching me."You really think this is going to work?" the first guard asks. His name is Kane, and he's been glancing at me like I'm a dead woman walking."What do you mean?""Your plan to get Alpha Jeremy to help you.

Over the last few months, he's been staying indoors more. His son Dylan has been taking over most of the pack business."My stomach drops. "His son?""Yeah. And here's the thing – Dylan hates your father even more than his dad does. Jeremy wants your father dead, but Dylan wants your entire pack wiped off th

"Did you hear? The Princess of Silvermoon pack ran away from her wedding this morning.""The grand wedding, after all the preparations her father made." The other girl said, casually gossiping as they passed by the bush where I'm hiding."Her fiancé is losing his mind. He's ordered a search and put a bounty on her. Not just that, but her dad had a heart attack when she ran. Now he's ill."My heart stops. Dad had a heart attack? The wolfsbane must be working faster than Rebecca expected. Or maybe the shock of me running made it worse."If the alpha dies, who becomes alpha when the princess ran away? Is it the alpha's current wife or the princess' fiancé?""I don't know. That's never happened before. Usually the alpha's heir takes over, but she's gone.""Maybe they'll have to share power or something. Split the responsibilities.""That would be a disaster. Two people trying to run one pack never works."Deep down, I know the dreading reality. It's both. My fiancé and my stepmother have

Three hours later, I'm sitting in my bedroom while my maid, Elena, braids silver ribbons into my hair. My wedding dress hangs on the door. The maids haven’t stopped talking about how beautiful it is. As the daughter of the second most powerful alpha in the region, the wedding dress was custom made by the most expensive luxury seamstress in all 5 kingdoms. My wedding alone cost more than half a million, all which my father and I catered for. My fiance came from a small pack, barely on the map. I’d never judged the size of his territory, even though he constantly admitted his insecurity about it.‘You are the princess of a large pack, while I am the future alpha of the smallest pack.’ He would say. ‘How can I be worthy of your love?’All his words were lies, fabricated poetry to make me believe he was a gentleman. A loyal partner who truly loved and respected me. Yet, it’s been two years since we met, and the money requests never stopped coming. Looking back at it all, I realize how foo
