Fated to the Alpha who killed my sister

Fated to the Alpha who killed my sister

She came to kill him. He was supposed to be her enemy. But the bond they built on lies might be the only real thing either of them has ever had. Zara Merrick has one mission: seduce the Alpha who murdered her sister, earn his trust, and drive a silver blade through his heart. She endures an agonizing ritual that rewires her very biology — altering her scent, implanting false recognition signals, creating an artificial mate bond designed to make the most powerful Alpha in the region believe she is his fated one. She walks into his territory like a weapon wearing a woman's face, and it works perfectly. Ryker Bloodmoon falls for it completely. Or so she thinks. Because Ryker has secrets too — secrets about the night Mia Merrick died, about what her sister really was, and about the truth The Covenant has been hiding from Zara for five years. And when his Beta runs her blood and the lie unravels, Ryker doesn't kill her. He keeps her. Now Zara is a prisoner in the fortress she came to destroy, hunted by the organization that sent her, and haunted by the possibility that everything she believed about her sister — about werewolves, about the war she dedicated her life to — was a carefully constructed lie. Worse, the fake mate bond is dissolving. And what's replacing it feels terrifyingly real.

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
Zara’s P.O.VI hadn’t been sleeping. Not really. Just lying still. Eyes closed, body quiet, but my mind was wide awake. Counting, thinking, replaying. The conversation. The tone. The way he had looked at me, not like an enemy neither like an ally. But like a problem waiting to be solved.I hated that, because he wasn’t wrong. A soft sound broke through the silence. My eyes snapped open instantly. Not a knock. Not footsteps. Something lighter. Closer.I didn’t move immediately. I listened first. Nothing. Then a shift occurred near the window. I sat up slowly, controlled, and careful. The curtain moved slightly. Just enough.My pulse kicked hard at once. I stood and took deliberate steps across the room. No panic. No hesitation. Just forward. When I reached the window, I didn’t pull the curtain back immediately. “You’re getting bold.” I said flatly and quietly instead.“So are you.” the response came after a pause.That damned voice again. I pulled the curtain aside. Not too wide, just

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
Zara’s P.O.VIt occurred again the next day. They never waited long. Pressure worked best when it stayed close. I felt it before I saw it. That same shift in the air. That subtle awareness is crawling along my spine.Watching. Waiting. I didn’t react. Didn’t turn. Didn’t give it away. I had learned that much. Instead, I kept moving.Steady. Measured. Like nothing had changed. Like I hadn’t seen the mark. Like I wasn’t expecting this.The lower corridor was quieter than usual. Most of the pack had shifted toward repairs and training grounds, leaving this section half-empty. Strategic. Controlled.I slowed slightly near the storage wing. And that’s when I saw him. Not unfamiliar. That was the first thing. He looked like he belonged. He moved like one.He is in his mid-thirties, leanly built, and nothing remarkable about him stands out.Which, ironically, now made him stand out. Because I had started noticing things. He had been there before in the courtyard near the archway. Watching.M

Chapter: CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Zara’s P.O.VIt started small. That was what made it worse. Not an attack. Not a confrontation. Just a change. I noticed it the moment I stepped back into my room. The door was closed. Exactly how I had left it. The latch untouched. The air still. Nothing broken. Nothing out of place. And yet something was wrong.My body picked it up before my mind did.A shift in the space. A presence that had passed through.I didn’t move forward immediately. I stood at the threshold.Listening. Nothing. Then I stepped in slowly every sense alert. My gaze swept through the room.Bed. Table. Window.Everything was where it should be. My shoulders tightened.“You’re imagining it.” I reassured myself.I moved towards the table. The tray from earlier was gone. Which was expected. My fingers stilled as I noticed something else. There. The edge of the table. A mark. Faint. Almost invisible unless you were looking for it.I leaned in slightly. Two thin lines crossed. Carved just enough to catch light. My b

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTEEN
Zara’s P.O.V“You shouldn’t get involved.” That was the first thought that struck through me. The clearest one. The safest one.I stood at the edge of the upper corridor, my fingers rested lightly against the stone railing as I looked down into the courtyard below.Movement had resumed. Repairs. Training. Recovery. Life continuing like the attack had been an interruption, not a fracture. But I knew better. I had seen the crack.“Rotation was changed.”“East side compromised.”“Someone tipped them off.”My jaw tightened. That wasn’t small.That wasn't a coincidence. That was deliberate. And if it was deliberate, then someone inside this place had made a choice.I exhaled slowly. This isn't my problem. It isn’t my pack.It isn't my fight. And yet, my chest felt tight. Because if there was a breach inside Bloodmoon, then everything I had been told about how the Covenant operated, about how information moved, about how targets were selected started to look different.More calculated. More

Chapter: CHAPTER 14
Zara’s P.O.VMorning came without asking for permission. I hadn’t slept.Not properly. My body had shut down at some point, out of exhaustion, not peace but my mind never followed. It stayed sharp. Restless. Turning over the same fractured pieces again and again.The courtyard. Kellan’s hands on my throat. Ryker’s voice.“Start with what you’ve seen.”I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at nothing. The room felt different now. Not like a cage. Not like safety either.Something in between. Uncertain.A soft knock broke the silence. I stiffened. “Come in,” I said, automatically. The door opened slowly. Not a guard. Not Ryker. A woman stepped inside.Older, maybe late fifties. Her posture was straight, her movements unhurried, deliberate in a way that reminded me of people who had lived through too much to rush anything anymore.She carried a tray. “Food,” the woman said simply.I blinked shortly. “I didn’t ask for—”“You didn’t need to.”The woman crossed the room and set the tray dow

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Zara’s P. O.VThe room felt too small after he left. Too quiet. Like the walls had absorbed everything that had just happened and were now holding it there, pressing it back into me from all sides.I didn’t move. I stayed on the floor, my back against the wall, my knees pulled in slightly like my body hadn’t decided yet whether it was safe to unfold again.My throat burned. Every breath scraped. But the pain didn’t matter. Not compared to the weight settling in my chest.“My mother was on that list.”My eyes squeezed shut.“No.”“Don’t.”“Don’t think about it like that.”“Don’t—”“They died scared.”My fingers curled against the fabric of my clothes. My stomach twisted hard enough to make me feel sick. I had heard things like that before.Stories. Reports. Debriefings.They had always been… distant.Numbers. Incidents. Necessary outcomes.I had never seen it. I felt it. Heard it like that. Up close. Personal. Alive.My breathing hitched. “I didn’t know,” I whispered again.The words f
