Alpha of Her Ruin
I wasn’t born to be Luna but the bargain made me one. They told me I would be his second mate because he lost the first, but they didn’t tell me that the bond would feel like war.
Nalani was born with the ancient power that could save lives with the cost of a fragment of hers, which forced her to live in hiding, under the forced protection of her parents.
Samael Calgrave lost his first mate and with her, his heart. When duty forces him into a political marriage with Nalani Halden, a healer protected by her small pack, he swears she will never replace the woman who was taken from him.
But words were never made to decide the future. As they are forced to share a new future together, Samael finds himself consumed by her – her fire, her touch and her courage.
The bond consumes them, growing stronger with every stolen glance, every heated confrontation, and every connection they can’t control.
As enemies lurk in the shadows and dark magic rears its ugly head, their passion becomes their weapon, their weakness and the only thing that can save them.
Because when obsession ignites, love consumes everything.

Chapter: 10.NALANII had been in the Blackthorn pack for a week, and I was not going to lie and say that things had gotten easier. I had just learnt to live one day at a time.I spent my mornings in the library. The smell of the old books was comforting, and it gave me a sense of calm, like I wasn’t living in a pack where I was hated by more than half the members.In the afternoons, I spent my time with Mabel in the herb garden at the back of the pack house. Surprisingly, we had grown closer in the past week. I never thought we would become friends, but she was my only one so far.While in the evenings, I spent it in my room alone.“You are getting better at this," Mabel praised, glancing at the neat rows of lavender that I had just finished weeding with a smile. “Remember the first time you did this? You pulled the whole thing out."We both laughed at the memory. “I told you that I had never done it before. My parents kept me sheltered," I said, wiping the dirt on the apron that I had tied aroun

Chapter: 9.SAMAELThe map of the pack was spread out on the table before me. Pins had been placed on the eastern borders with red marks where patrols had reported sightings of wolves that didn’t belong to my pack. They had become too frequent for us to ignore.“Three separate sightings in the last week alone,” Garrett, one of my senior warriors, said, tapping one of the pins with his fingers. “All points at the Duskmoor wolves."I leaned forward, studying the pattern. “Are they testing us or just passing through?”Adler shook his head. “It’s hard to say. But the frequency is concerning. You know those people spell nothing but danger."I nodded my head in agreement, my fingers tracing the patterns on the map. “They are getting too bold either way. We’ve warned them countless times to stay away from our lands.”“What do we do?” Garrett asked.“Double the patrol on the eastern borders. I want reports of every sighting immediately it happens.""Done," Garrett answered and left the room."Umm, Sam,"

Chapter: 8.SAMAELThe moment Nalani had dismissed Travin’s apology and continued talking to Mabel like he didn’t give a half-assed apology, something uninvited stirred in my chest.Respect.I didn’t expect her to be so brave. I told myself that the answer she gave back in her room the previous day was her trying to appear brave, but with this stunt, she wasn’t pretending. It was who she was.My gaze bore into the side of her face as she and Mabel laughed over something. I knew she could feel my eyes on her. She had almost looked in my direction twice now but forced herself not to.I forced my gaze back to my plate and continued eating. None of the pack members dared to send her glares after the move she pulled with Travin, and even the man himself was quiet for the rest of the evening.Knowing Travin, he would not get over the humiliation immediately.After dinner, Mabel pulled her out, and I didn’t stop them. I made my way to my office instead.“This one is braver than we thought," Adler mutter

Chapter: 7.NALANIMy stomach churned. “Oh.”Suddenly, her reactions made sense. Why she was wary of me, even now as we talked. “That’s why you didn’t like the arrangement. She was your best friend and your Luna."Mabel didn’t bother denying it. “Amara was the sister I never had. When Dad announced we’d be getting a new Luna, I was furious. It felt like…” She blinked, fighting the tears. “It felt like he was trying to erase her… replace her, like she had never been here.”“I’m not here to replace anyone,” I said softly. “I don’t plan to take her place. It’s…” The words tumbled out of me, but Mabel touched my arm lightly.“I know,” she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. “It wouldn’t be fair if I blamed it on you.”I nodded, grateful that she understood and wasn’t blaming me because it seemed everyone else, including Samael believed I wanted to take her place. It was the last thing I wanted. I just wanted to…“I know you wouldn’t believe me, but Sammy wasn’t like this," she said after a while

Chapter: 6.NALANIIt took a minute after I woke up to remember that I was no longer home. My eyes scanned the massive room, the lack of Esme and the lack of the noise that was always present back home.I missed my home.“Ironic, isn’t it?" I chuckled bitterly to myself.I would spend days telling Esme about my plans to run away so I could be free. I wanted out of always being locked up, but now that I got my wish, I wanted to go back home.I found it hard to sleep last night, and it wasn’t because I was in a new place. The discussion with Samael lingered in my thoughts all day.I hadn’t planned to make any demands, but I meant every word.The memory of his reaction replayed in my head. There was none. He had looked at me with that blank expression that I was coming to hate.I shook the thought out of my head. “What’s done is done," I muttered. “If he decides to make my life hell, I’ll fight back with everything I have. I’m not going to be bullied.”I dragged myself out of the bed and prepared fo

Chapter: 5.SAMAELThe door clicked shut behind Lilith, and the silence that followed was suffocating.I stood there, jaw clenched, telling myself that I had only intervened because Lilith had crossed a line. I knew how vicious she could be when it came to people she didn’t like, and I had promised Dallor that his child would remain safe in my lands.That was all.None of this had anything to do with the way my wolf snarled when I caught her scent of distress from down the hall, or the way my legs had moved before I could realise what I was doing.It was keeping my word. Nothing more.I turned to face her, and she was watching me, arms wrapped around herself like she was trying to protect herself from me. Despite how vulnerable she looked, her chin was lifted and her shoulders squared like she was waiting for me to say something hostile, and she would be ready to brace herself and defend herself.She was different.Most wolves would have bared their necks in submission or scrambled to please me,

Chapter: 20.EMILIAI was on my way home when my phone rang. I didn’t want to answer when I saw who it was that was calling, especially after everything that had happened two days ago.I ended Tommy's call, but he called back immediately, so I decided to answer and see what excuses he would come up with this time.“I know you don’t want to hear from me," he said immediately after I answered. “But I just need a few minutes of your time. I want to explain why I did that."“You have two minutes. "Start talking," I demanded coldly.“I shouldn’t have done what I did," he said. “I was wrong and made our friendship seem like it meant nothing when I asked you to choose. That wasn’t what I wanted.”“Really?” I scoffed. “Then what was the plan?”“I was going to tell you the truth, or part of it," he said, his voice turning quiet. “I didn’t go into this willingly, Emilia. When Bianca came to me with the plan, she told me she was doing it to get the man she liked back because she was desperate that his mistre

Chapter: 19.EMILIAI sat up with a loud gasp as a painful cramp twisted my abdomen. My hand pressed flat against my stomach, as panic wrapped around me.“No,” I whispered, my heart pounding as the pain faded to a dull ache.I threw the sheets back, checking for any sign that my baby was in danger, but I couldn’t feel relieved when I saw no blood, as the fear remained.It didn’t matter that the pain had dulled to a quiet ache, but I was already out of bed and slipping my clothes on.I didn’t wake Sunny as I slipped out of the house quietly. The clinic two streets away opened at 6. I knew because I had looked it up the night I took the pregnancy test.The waiting room only had about two people when I arrived. I sat in a chair at the corner and waited for my turn.I was terrified.“Please be okay,” I said, my hands shaking as I rubbed my stomach gently.I had not let myself want the pregnancy. It had arrived as a complication rather than a blessing. A problem to be managed alongside all my other pro

Chapter: 18.EMILIAThe pre-gala planning meeting was held on Thursday afternoon in the large conference room on the executive floor.Alexander had told me to attend so I could take minutes, so I sat at the far end of the table with my laptop, ready to write down every important detail.Steven was at the head of the table with Alex beside him. The event coordinator, PR lead, head of corporate relations and everyone who held important roles were present. I think this was the first time so many heads were in one room together since I started working here.My eyes fell on Bianca. She didn’t hold any official roles in the company, but she insisted on being here and had stationed herself beside Steven as though they managed the company together.She had a smug smile when she sat beside me, her eyes reminding me that at the end of the day, she was the one who mattered. I tore my gaze from them when I noticed Steven looking at me and pinned my eyes to the laptop for the remaining forty minutes that the m

Chapter: 17.EMILIA“I don’t want him to think I’m avoiding him." I told Sunny and then answered the call.Sunny refused to leave and sat across from me with the expression on her face telling me that she didn’t like it, but she would be there for me regardless.“Mr Riorson," I answered, trying to hide that I had been crying from my voice. “Is anything the problem?”“Ms Jones” His voice came through controlled, like he always did. I couldn’t blame him. He had no idea that he was turning my world upside down. That he was the reason that I felt like I wanted to end it all.“I’m calling for the quarterly review documents for the gala. I forgot to ask Alexander to tell you about it.” He said. “I need the updated version on my desk tomorrow morning."I almost laughed. Why did I think he would call for something other than work?“I’ll have them ready," I said and waited for him to end the call, but he didn’t.Sunny arched a brow, and I shrugged. I didn’t know what else there was to be said. “Mr Riorson?

Chapter: 16.EMILIAMy head snapped to the door where Bianca stood, and for a second, nobody moved. Her eyes moved, narrowing on the space between Steven and me. Or the lack of it. She eyed Steven’s fingers curled around my arms and the expression on his face.I watched her take it all in and rearrange it into something else.Steven straightened, and his hands dropped. The walls went up immediately, and his mask slid into place as he stepped back and retreated into that man I hated.“She nearly fainted. I caught her before she could fall," he said, walking back to his chair.Bianca shut the door behind her and stepped into the room. Her eyes were fixed on me, and they were cold. I knew this was going to be another vicious encounter.“How convenient," she said softly, coming to stand in front of me. “It’s amazing how you always find a reason to be around him. "It's a skill you have to teach me," she said, her voice turning hostile with the last word."Bianca," Steven warned, but she ignored him, not

Chapter: 15.EMILIAI didn’t sleep. Not after calling him back.Sunny had told me I didn’t have to, but I did anyway because I thought Steven would have thought I was throwing a tantrum, and now I regretted it.I had tried to hold myself together for every second of it. I couldn’t forget the surprise that shook me when he asked if I was okay. That hope that just wouldn’t die flared up at the concern in his voice, but I pushed it down until the call was over.Then I had gone to bed and stared at the ceiling until I drifted to sleep in the early hours of the morning.I had tried not to think about it, but as I drifted off to sleep, my hands rested on my stomach.His baby was growing quietly inside me.It didn’t matter how many times I said it, it still didn’t feel real to me. Maybe because I was having a hard time acknowledging it.Sunny was in the kitchen when I came out. She looked up from her coffee with an expression that told me she hadn’t slept well either.“Eat something before you go." She s
