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: 17.NALANIMy head was aching when I opened my eyes.“Lani, are you awake?” I nodded but winced as soon as I did it. The headache that hit me was painful.“Hey, it’s okay." Mabel was at my side in an instant. She adjusted my pillows and pushed me back down gently. “Don’t get up. You might hurt yourself."I let her guide me back down. “I’m fine,” I croaked, but it was a lie.My whole body felt heavy with that familiar bone-deep exhaustion. I tried to lift my hand, but it was trembling so badly that I could barely hold it up.The wound on my hand was still there but bandaged. It would take about two weeks for it to heal.It was hard this time because I had pushed harder than I usually did because of my desperation to save Sera. I had given more blood than I should have, and I would face the consequences for days.“What happened in that room, Sera?” Mabel asked softly, searching my face with her eyes. “Sera was dying when you entered that room, but she was healed when you exited. And you lef

Chapter: 16.SAMAELI didn’t want to listen to her because I didn’t trust her.Everything in me screamed that this was a mistake. That letting her near Sera when she had no knowledge about medicine might make things worse.But Sera was dying, and we had limited options—almost zero options—of saving her.“I need her in a private place where no one else can see what will happen," she said, and my instincts fought back harder. What did she need to do that was so secretive?I turned to the crowd that was panicking, and my voice rose above the chaos. “I want everyone cleaning up this mess.” Then to Adler. “Take the child inside.”Adler looked at me with evident confusion. “What?”“Now. We don’t have much time," I ordered.He didn’t question me again and picked Sera up. The four of us entered the pack house and climbed the stairs towards my west wing.There was an empty room on my floor, so I opened the door for Adler to place Sera on the bed.“Everyone out," Nalani said quietly.Adler looked at her, th

Chapter: 15.NALANIVharos waited until we were out of the danger zone before charging back into the fight.His massive jaws clamped down a rogue’s neck who had attempted to attack him. Vharos ripped its head clean off in one brutal motion. I flinched as he tossed the head to the side and the rogue’s body froze from the surprise attack before falling to the side.Bile rose to my throat at the scene, and I had to look away.“I know. It’s hard to stomach the first time you see it, but Vharos has always been brutal like that in battles. You’ll get used to it because we get invaded like this all the time."I looked at Mabel with wide eyes. “Why would anyone want to invade the pack with direwolves in it? Do they have a death wish?” I exclaimed.“Well, they all think they would be the one to takeover the pack. They want to be the one to bring Samael to his knees." She rolled her eyes. “You would think with the number of them dying that they would know better."“Sera!” Someone cried out, and the girl in

Chapter: 14.NALANII stumbled as I raced away from the office. I needed to get as far as I could away from him.The pack members stopped to stare at me as I ran. My heart slammed painfully against my ribs, and I thought it would burst out from the fear.I didn’t want to, but those terrifying eyes wouldn’t disappear from my vision.He was angry.Not just angry, terrifyingly furious.My vision blurred with tears, but I fought them back. I wouldn’t cry because of him.My arm was still aching where he had grabbed it. I could still feel the weight of his body pressed against me as he backed me into the wall and the fury in his eyes as he forced me to complete a sentence I never should have started.The name had felt like poison on my lips as soon as I said it. I regretted it immediately, but it was too late for that.He had looked at me like I was disgusting. Like he couldn’t stand the sight of me.I felt unease in my chest. If I had shifted, my wolf would no doubt be hurt."Nalani?"A hand caught min

Chapter: 13.SAMAELThree days had passed since the hearing, and I could not stop replaying it.She had taken charge of the dispute hearing and solved the case in the blink of an eye. She unravelled Corbin’s lies before I could, and it had surprised me.I knew something had been off about Corbin’s complaint, but she called it out before I could, and I hated that it impressed me.“You are doing it again,” Adler pointed out from his seat across my desk.“Doing what?” I glowered.“Overthinking”“What makes you think so?” I asked with an annoyed snort.“Because you’ve been staring at that file in your hand for the last ten minutes without actually reading it," he deadpanned, and I looked at the file in my hand with a frown.“There is something on my mind," I grumbled, throwing the file on the table.“Your Luna?” he asked with a knowing look."She's not my Luna," I snapped.Adler shook his head. “It doesn’t matter how much you try to deny it. She is Luna now. Amara is…”“Don’t fucking say it," I growle

Chapter: 12.NALANII didn’t expect that my first duty as Luna would be to sit through a dispute hearing.Mabel had told me the night before that it was important that I attended. “You don’t even have to say anything. Just sit there and pretend you care," she said with a casual shrug.So, there I was, sitting beside Samael in front of the small crowd that had gathered in the hall, and trying not to show how nervous I was.The hall was packed with more people than Mabel had said would be there. She claimed it was just a routine dispute settlement, and most times, a lot of people didn’t attend.The number of people I was staring at wasn’t ‘not a lot of people.'The hall was packed. More people than I'd expected for what Mabel had described as a "routine dispute."Samael was seated beside me. His expression gave nothing away. He hadn’t even turned to acknowledge me when I sat beside him. Not that I expected him to after what happened last night.I didn’t know what came over me when I said those words

Chapter: 35.STEVEN“Mr Riorson, the annual industry conference is coming up next week,” Alexander spoke from the front seat as we rode back to my house. “It’s drawing quite a bit of attention this year because they are allowing smaller companies as well”I couldn’t bring myself to be interested so I answered flatly. “Sure. Let them know that I will be attending”He nodded, and continued to tap away on his tablet. “I have sent the details to your email. The event will happen for three days and you don’t have to attend them all. A day would suffice”The house was quiet as always when I entered.I used to pride myself in this place. It was the house I had bought with hopes of it being for my family, but it didn’t feel like a home despite me having one.Maybe it had been when I just married Bianca, but now, it was just a place where people resided under the same roof.I loosened my tie slightly as I walked in, but I stopped when I heard voices in the living room.Bianca.A frown appeared on my face a

Chapter: 34.EMILIAI stared at Tommy, unable to answer his question. His behavior was unsettling. Something about him felt off.Tommy had always been easy, warm, and safe in a way that was familiar. He never demanded anything from me. Never pushed, but today, he was different.I didn’t understand why he was pressuring me like this. I studied him for a little time before I answered.“What does this have to do with anything?” I asked.His gaze didn’t waver. “It has everything to do with it.”“I appreciate your concern, but this is none of your business." I turned to leave, but he rushed forward and grabbed my arm.“Emilia.” I ripped my hand from his hold.“What is it? Why do you keep pushing? This has nothing to do with you." My voice was hostile when it spoke, and Tommy was stunned for a bit. I had never spoken to him like this before.He sighed and stepped back. “I’m sorry. I was too harsh. I didn’t mean it like that. I was just worried. You know a lot happened before you settled here. I don’t wa

Chapter: 33.EMILIA“I find it hard to believe that you aren’t going to be working today." I lifted my head from the stove to stare at Sunny as she lounged lazily on the couch while munching chips.“Why? It’s the weekend, and weekends are for resting."She snorted. “That doesn’t apply to you," she reminded. “Ever since we came here, all you do is study and then work.”“Well…”She scoffed. “You know I’m not lying.” She sat up, her face turning solemn. “But seriously, Emi. I get you want to make sure Lily never lacks anything, but I want you to have fun as well. You are still young."“This is enough fun for me," I told her with a grin, trying to make sure my thoughts didn’t wander where they shouldn’t. “As long as Lily is happy, I am okay."For the past five years, I have rebuilt my life after leaving everything behind. I couldn’t risk letting anything take this happiness I had struggled to fight and get for myself.Sunny looked like she wanted to argue, but a knock interrupted her.Lily, who I thou

Chapter: 32.EMILIA“I don’t recall working without one," I answered. “Or as a businessman, are you saying you never stick to time and are okay if the people you work with come to the office whenever they like?”His brow ticked, and I expected a rebuttal, but he smirked. “Interesting”“No. I’m just efficient and have a lot of work to do rather than waste time waiting for someone who doesn’t care for simple decency."This wasn’t me. I didn’t understand why he was grating on my nerves.“You don’t need to be so hostile with words, Ms. Jones.” He said, taking a seat. “Let’s proceed."I knew I should have refused the consultation after that introduction. Cole was a difficult person to work with.He challenged everything and questioned every recommendation I made like it was an insult to who he was, but I didn’t get this far by letting entitled rich brats walk over me.I pushed back with everything I had. By the end of the consultation, Cole’s smug expression had been wiped and was replaced with barely

Chapter: 31.EMILIALily was sprawled across the rug, talking to herself as she played out a scene with her two dolls in a serious argument.“No, you can’t go there,” she said firmly, wagging a tiny finger. “Because I said so."I paused by the kitchen counter, my mug to my lips and a smile on my face as I watched her endearingly.Her hair was a mess of soft curls that refused to be tamed no matter how hard I tried.Lily had my face. Anyone who saw us would know I birthed that amazing but stubborn little girl, but her eyes? They were his.“Lily,” I called.“Yes, Mommy?” she answered without looking up, fully committed to playing out the scene with her dolls, which I was yet to understand.“Shoes. Now."A long, dramatic sigh escaped her. “Why do you always ruin the best part, Mommy?” she whined.“I know, right? Why do I do that?” I replied with a roll of my eyes.That finally got her attention as she looked up just as a giggle escaped her mouth, showing a beautiful gummy smile. “You are funny, Mummy

Chapter: 30.STEVENFIVE YEARS LATERThe sound of the cup hitting the table sliced through the silence, disrupting the quiet morning.“Are you going to keep pretending that I don’t exist?”I didn’t look up from the tablet in my hand even though the numbers were blurred.“Good morning to you too, Bianca.""Don't," she hissed. “Don’t pretend that everything is normal between us."I finally looked up. “What do you want?”“I’m tired, Steven," Bianca practically screamed. Her hands moved fast, swiping down the contents of the table to the floor. “How long am I going to keep living like this?”“Is there anything wrong with your life?” I finally looked up.She looked at me with disbelief. “I can’t believe you. Do you think I’m overreacting right now? You haven’t touched me in five years, Steven. Five.” She screamed at me. “Is that normal? Answer me?”I winced, her voice too loud for the headache I was currently battling. “Let’s talk about it…”“Another time?” She sneered, completing my sentence for me. “
