Chapter: CHAPTER 82Natasha"You don't have to keep anything in your old room anymore," Mikhail said the next morning, his fingers trailing lazy patterns on my bare shoulder as we lay tangled together in his bed. "Move in here properly. Bring all your things."My heart did a little flip at the casualness of it, like it was the most natural thing in the world for me to officially move into his quarters. I supposed it was natural now that we didn't have to hide anymore."Are you sure?" I asked, even though I already knew my answer. "It's a big step.""We've already taken the biggest step," He pointed out, pulling me closer. "Everything else is nothing. Besides, I want your stuff here. I want to wake up and see your books on the shelves and your clothes in the closet. I want it to feel like our space, not just mine.""Our space," I repeated, testing out the words. They felt right. "Okay. Let's do it."I found myself standing in my old bedroom a few hours later, looking at all the belongings I had accumula

Chapter: CHAPTER 81MikhailThe morning after the council's decision, I woke up with Natasha still in my arms, sunlight streaming through my bedroom windows.For the first time in years I felt like I could actually breathe. No more hiding, no more sneaking around and no more pretending she was just my sister when she was so much more than that. She was mine and nothing was going to change that, but I knew the real test was still coming. The council had given us permission to be together, but that didn't mean the pack would accept it easily. We had been confined to my room or hers for the past day while everything got sorted out with Rowan and his pack. Dimitri handled the political fallout, while the gossip spread like wildfire through the pack house and probably beyond. By now everyone knew, everyone had heard, and everyone had formed an opinion about what Natasha and I were doing.Today we would have to face them all."Are you ready for this?" I asked Natasha as we got dressed that morning, watchi

Chapter: CHAPTER 80NatashaMikhail and I barely made it down the hallway when Rowan appeared, his face twisted with rage."You!" He snarled, stalking toward us. "You fucking whore!"Mikhail immediately stepped in front of me, his body a protective wall between Rowan and I. "Watch your mouth." He growled, his eyes darkening with anger."Watch my mouth?" Rowan laughed, but there was no humor in it. "I'll say whatever the fuck I want! She was supposed to be mine! We had an arrangement!""An arrangement I never agreed to," I said from behind Mikhail, keeping my voice steady even though my heart was racing. "I never wanted to marry you, Rowan. I'm sorry you're hurt, but—""Hurt? HURT?" His voice rose to a shout. "You humiliated me! Made me look like a fool in front of everyone! And for what? So you could fuck your brother?""That's enough," Dimitri's voice cut through the hallway as he appeared, clearly having followed us. "Rowan, I understand you're upset, but threats and insults won't solve anything.""I'

Chapter: CHAPTER 79MikhailDimitri's office had never felt so much like a courtroom.The council members were already assembled when we arrived, arranged in a semicircle of stern faces and folded arms. Eight of the pack's most senior wolves, all looking at Natasha and I like we had just committed murder instead of confessing our love. Dimitri took his place at the head, his expression carved from stone, and gestured for us to stand in the center of the room.I kept Natasha's hand clasped firmly in mine. Whatever happened next, we would face it together."Do you understand the severity of what you've done?" Dimitri asked, his voice eerily calm. "You've humiliated Irina and her entire family in front of witnesses from three territories. You've destroyed an alliance that took months to negotiate. You've potentially started a war, and you did it all for—" He gestured between us, his expression somewhere between disbelief and disgust. "For this.""For love," I said firmly. "We did it for love.""Love," D

Chapter: CHAPTER 78NatashaThe silence after my words was deafening. Every single person in that hall was staring at me and I wanted to melt into the floor and disappear but I couldn't.I wouldn't. Not now that I finally found the courage to speak. My heart was pounding so hard I thought it might burst out of my chest and my hands were shaking but I kept my chin up and kept my eyes on Mikhail even though I could feel the weight of hundreds of stares boring into me.People started moving and murmuring, the whispers spreading like wildfire through the crowd. I saw shock on faces, disbelief, horror and curiosity, but I didn't care about any of them. I only cared about Mikhail, standing there at the altar in his ceremonial clothes with Irina beside him, and the look on his face when I said those words.He's already mated to me.I started walking toward the altar, my legs somehow carrying me forward even though they felt like jelly. Each step felt heavy but I took it anyway, moving through the crowd as th

Chapter: CHAPTER 77MikhailI stood in my room while servants bustled around me, dressing me in the ceremonial clothes I was supposed to wear to bind myself to a woman I didn't love. The fabric was expensive, the embroidery intricate, every detail carefully chosen to reflect the importance of this union between two powerful families.Deep down, it felt like I was going to a funeral instead of a mating ceremony."Arms up, sir." The tailor said, and I obeyed mechanically, letting him adjust the formal jacket, pin it here and there, fuss over the fit.Through the window I could hear the sounds of celebration, music and laughter and excited chatter as the pack gathered for what they considered a joyous occasion. To them this was a triumph, a strategic victory and the beginning of a new era of prosperity and strength.To me, it was the beginning of the end."You look very handsome," The tailor said, stepping back to admire his work. "Your bride will be pleased."I said nothing. What was there to say? That I

The Slave Queen's Awakening
For eighteen years, Sylvia Velmont survived as the lowest creature in the Crimson Moon Pack, a human slave whose parents were executed for trespassing on wolf territory.
When she is dragged to serve wine at the sacred Lunar Conjunction, the last thing she expects is to accidentally spill wine on the one person everyone avoids. Rowan Salvatore, the King’s blade. The cursed Alpha whose mates die before the bond completes.
She expects death, but instead, their eyes meet and the impossible happens. The mate bond ignites between a worthless human slave and the most feared warrior in existence. Humans cannot be mated to wolves. Unless… She isn’t human after all.
As the bond awakens something ancient in Sylvia’s blood, she discovers the truth. She is the last of the Lunar Blessed, a hybrid bloodline thought extinct. Her parents weren’t just trespassers. They were hunted. And Rowan’s curse isn’t what everyone believes. It is meant to kill him if he ever finds his true mate.
Now hunted by the pack that enslaved her, coveted by Alphas who want her power and protected by a warrior whose curse might kill her, Sylvia must navigate her transformation from slave to the most powerful she-wolf in generations, because the King who holds Rowan’s leash knows exactly who she is.
The daughter of the wolf emperor he murdered, the rightful heir to all five packs and the only one who can break the soul chain that binds Rowan as his weapon.

Chapter: CHAPTER 12RowanElder Morgana studied Sylvia's wolf form for another long moment before turning to leave. "The seal is broken and cannot be undone," She said at the doorway. "What happens next is up to you both, but know that the King will sense this change and he will come."Then she was gone as suddenly as she had appeared. She left me alone with a massive white wolf that radiated power and barely contained panic."Sylvia," I said softly, moving closer even though every instinct told me this wolf was dangerous in ways I did not fully understand. "I know you're scared, but you need to calm down or you won't be able to shift back."The wolf's golden eyes fixed on me and I could see Sylvia trapped inside them, fighting for control. Her whole body trembled with the effort of trying to change back and the markings on her fur pulsed brighter with each failed attempt.I grabbed the chains I had been wearing, loosening them completely so I could move freely around the room. "Listen to my voice," I s

Chapter: CHAPTER 11SylviaThe world had narrowed down to just Rowan's eyes, and the feeling of his hands on my waist, and the way our bodies fit together like two pieces of a puzzle that had been waiting to be whole. Time seemed to stop and stretch at the same time, and I could not think about anything except how much I wanted to lean up and close that tiny distance between us."Well, isn't this interesting." A voice said from the doorway. Rowan and I sprang apart so fast that I nearly fell over again.An old woman stood there, watching us with eyes that seemed to hold centuries of knowledge and secrets. She was small and bent with age, but something about her presence filled the entire room and made the air feel heavy with power. Her white hair was so long, it nearly touched the floor and her face was covered in wrinkles, but her eyes were sharp, young and terrifying in their intensity."Elder Morgana," Rowan greeted her. I had never heard him sound shocked before, but his voice was full of surprise

Chapter: CHAPTER 10SylviaMy feet carried me back to Rowan's room so fast that I almost tripped three times on the stairs. When I burst through the door, I was breathing hard and probably looked completely insane with my hair wild, and my eyes wide with panic."Hunter's body is gone," I said all in a rush before Rowan could even ask what was wrong. "I went to look where he fell. There is blood on the rocks, but no body. That means he is either alive or someone took him."Rowan looked up from where he sat against the wall. His expression did not change at all which made no sense because I had just told him that the man he threw off a tower might still be alive."I expected as much," He said calmly like we were discussing the weather and not a potentially alive and very angry Beta who would want revenge."What do you mean you expected it?" I asked, moving closer to him without thinking. "He fell fifty feet onto rocks and you broke his bones before that, so how could you expect him to survive?""Hunter is

Chapter: CHAPTER 9SylviaThe moment Rowan pulled away from me, I felt cold and empty like something important had been taken away, but I could not think about that because my face was burning so hot, I was sure it was bright red.My heart was beating so fast, I thought it might burst right out of my chest."I need some air," I mumbled and did not look at him because if I looked at him, I might do something stupid like lean forward and close that distance between us that felt like miles, even though it was just inches.I stood up so fast, I almost knocked over the tray of food and basically ran from the room like a coward. My feet carried me through the hallways of the tower and I tried to get my breathing under control, but it was not working because I could still smell him on my clothes, and feel the ghost of his breath on my face."Stop it. Stop it. Stop it," I told myself as I walked faster, pressing my hands to my cheeks to cool them down. "You cannot feel things for him. This is not real. It is j

Chapter: CHAPTER 8RowanI had heard screams before because as the King's executioner, you hear every kind of scream there is. Screams of pain, fear and death and anger. I had learned to let them wash over me like water over stone because feeling anything would have driven me mad long ago.But when Sylvia screamed my name from that balcony, something inside me that I thought was dead came roaring back to life. It was not just the beast that responded, but something deeper and more primal than even that cursed part of me. Every chain, wall and barrier I had built around myself shattered in that single moment because she was afraid and she needed me. Nothing else mattered.I still remembered the way the chains felt when they snapped. It was not painful but almost satisfying like breaking free from something that had held me too long. The beast and I had become one thing at that moment and both united in a single purpose, which was to destroy whatever was threatening her.Even now with Hunter dead at t

Chapter: CHAPTER 7SylviaThe terror that froze me was so intense that my legs would not move and my voice would not work. All I could do was stare at Hunter while my whole body shook. He stepped onto the balcony and his smile got wider when he saw how scared I was. He looked like a cat that had cornered a mouse and was deciding how to play with it before killing it."Well. Well. Well. Look what I found," He drawled, his voice smooth like oil but with something rotten underneath. "The little slave who thinks she is special now because she is mated to the executioner.""Please just leave me alone." I managed to whisper, but my voice came out so weak it was pathetic.Hunter laughed and it was an ugly sound that made my skin crawl. "You really think you matter now, don't you? You are still just a worthless slave who got lucky, but that luck is about to run out because you will be dead soon anyway."He moved closer and I backed up, my entire body trembling until I hit the stone railing of the balcony and
