The word reverberated inside me as my eyes widened in shock.Mate.Alpha Mich’s piercing gaze did not waver. His ocean blue eyes bored into mine, as if they were tearing through every layer of my soul. He took a slow step toward me, and another, until the space between us seemed to collapse beneath the weight of something unexplainable. The air crackled, charged with a magnetic pull I could not resist no matter how much I tried.And in that chilling moment, I realized the impossible.The ruthless, fearsome Alpha Mich… was my fated mate."So you’re the one," he said at last, his voice low, edged with disbelief. The words escaped his lips as though torn from somewhere deep inside him, as though he had been waiting for this moment but dreaded it all the same.He felt it too.I couldn’t speak. My lips parted, but no words came. I only stood there trembling, torn between fear and the bond pulling me toward him like a moth to fire. My heart hammered painfully in my chest. Sold to a fearsome

The hall reeked of sweat, fear, and desperation. It was wide and dimly lit, the air thick with the smell of unwashed bodies and dried blood. Chains rattled, ropes strained, and the cries of the unfortunate echoed against the cracked walls. Some captives sobbed quietly, their tears soaking their rags. Others screamed until their voices cracked, begging for mercy that would never come.I was among them, tied harshly to a wooden pole that dug into my back. My wrists were bound so tightly with rough rope that it left deep grooves in my skin. My arms throbbed, and the sharp pain pulsed every time I shifted. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I wept, my chest aching from the despair clawing at my heart.This was my fate. Elena, my own sister, had auctioned me like I was nothing more than property. I had been betrayed, stripped of everything I once knew, and now stood here, waiting to be bought by a stranger.The crowd of buyers grew restless, their greedy voices rising over the cries of the c

The glass window of the car was cold against my temple as I leaned into it, my eyes swollen and burning from the endless tears I had shed. Outside, the world rolled by in a blur of trees and fading twilight, yet nothing reached me. My heart was too heavy, too wounded, to feel the beauty of the passing night.Everything I had known felt as if it had shattered in a single moment. My parents were gone, ripped from me in a rogue attack that still haunted my dreams. My sister, Elena, had taken Kael, the man I loved with every piece of my soul. And Kael himself had rejected me, severing the bond we were meant to share because the Moon Goddess had paired him with my sister. It was as though life had conspired to leave me hollow.My hands shook violently as I reached for the bottle of liquor resting on the seat beside me. I had taken it from the packhouse earlier, hoping it would numb me, hoping it would silence the agony clawing through my chest. I tilted it to my lips and drank greedily, th

I lay on my bed restlessly, staring at the wooden ceiling as if the answers to my torment were carved into its lines. My chest rose and fell unevenly, every breath dragging the ache deeper into my bones. Sleep refused to come. Peace had abandoned me the moment Kael spoke those dreadful words.“I, Alpha Kael of the Moonfall Pack, reject you Aria Star as my mate.”Those words echoed like a curse, replaying again and again until the tears refused to stop. How could he? After years of love, of whispered promises beneath the moonlight, of dreams of me standing proudly at his side as his Luna. He had shattered it all.“We were supposed to be his choice,” Karina, my wolf, growled bitterly inside my mind. Her voice was sharp, wounded, and furious. “Fated or not, he swore he would choose us.”“I know,” I whispered back, curling my arms around myself. “He swore he’d never let me go.”But even as I remembered his rejection, something about his eyes lingered. They weren’t cruel. They weren’t fill

Aria's POVThe moon hung full and bright above the sacred grounds of the Moonfall Pack, casting a silver glow across the gathering arena. Wolves from every corner of the territory stood shoulder to shoulder, dressed in fine garments that shimmered under torchlight. It was the night of the Mating Ball, the ceremony every wolf dreamed of from childhood. A night when the Moon Goddess revealed the deepest bonds of fate. A night when destinies shifted forever.I stood at the edge of the pack grounds, my heart steady, my eyes locked on the man who had been my everything. Alpha Kael. His forest green eyes had always been the place I ran to when the world crumbled. They were calm, steady, and strong, like a forest that never bent to the storms. For years, those eyes had been my home.But tonight, under the weight of the moonlight, I swore I saw something else within them, something shuttered and hidden.The breeze brushed against my skin, tugging my gown and tossing my hair back. It almost fe
