Ophelia's POVThe drive back to Ashbourne Estate passed in complete silence.Snow drifted steadily beyond the tinted windows as the black SUV glided through the empty roads. The warmth inside the vehicle contrasted sharply with the storm raging inside my heart.I kept my hands folded tightly in my lap, still wrapped in Alpha Nicolai's jacket, my thoughts refusing to settle.Everything that had happened tonight felt impossible.Only a few hours ago, I had watched my marriage fall apart in the eyes of pack members.Now I was riding beside the most powerful Alpha in the territory after agreeing to become his wife.Even saying it inside my head felt unreal.Amare remained unusually quiet, yet I could still feel her emotions brushing against mine through our bond. Shock. Relief. Uncertainty. She was trying to make sense of everything just as I was. The towering iron gates slowly opened before us, revealing the Ashbourne Estate, as several pack warriors stationed around the estate lowered

Ophelia's POV"I am Ophelia Starkingstein, daughter of the late Beta Harrison of Stormridge Pack.”He remained silent for several seconds after I spoke. Although I kept my head lowered in submission, I felt the weight of his Alpha aura settle over me as he assessed every word I spoke."What is an omega doing alone near a restricted border at this hour?" he asked calmly, quiet authority woven through his voice.I swallowed hard and tightened my fingers around the fabric of my dress."I was lost in thought, Alpha. I didn't realize how far I had wandered."His expression remained unreadable."Rogues have become increasingly active along our borders. An unaccompanied omega would be an easy target.”Shame burned through me because he was right."I understand, Alpha. I apologize."His eyes lingered on me for a moment before he turned toward the guards."Leave us."The guards immediately lowered their heads."Yes, Alpha."Within seconds, they disappeared into the darkness, leaving only the h

Ophelia's POV I barely kept my balance as I stumbled out of the hotel's elevator into the freezing night.Snow hit my face, sharp and unforgiving, melting against my skin and mixing with the fresh and dried tears already streaking down my cheeks.I collapsed into the driver's seat and caught myself with trembling hands before pulling the door shut. My chest burned with a pain so fierce it felt as though Amare was clawing against my ribs.I didn't even remember the drive. All I could hear was Morris's voice—cold, detached, and merciless."Morgana is the woman I love. She's elegant… refined… the kind of woman people admire.”In the span of five hours, I had gone from fixing my hair for our fifth wedding anniversary, smiling at my reflection like a fool and convincing myself tonight would save us, to leaving the hotel in tears and humiliation on Christmas Eve.My fingers locked around the steering wheel while my mind drowned beneath waves of pain and disbelief. By the time I finally pu

Ophelia's POVThe crowd erupted into applause, but the sound barely reached me.I stood frozen at the edge of the rooftop garden, staring at the impossible scene before my eyes.My wolf whimpered inside me, refusing to believe what we had just witnessed.Morris was still holding Morgana, his hand resting against her cheek with a tenderness that made my stomach twist.The kiss had ended, but the wedding had not.Champagne glasses rose into the air as laughter drifted across the rooftop. Everyone was celebrating while my entire world crumbled around me."No."The word slipped from my lips in a whisper, as Amare's agonized howl exploded inside my mind, slamming against every wall I had built to protect her. I gasped as pain tore through my chest. It felt as though someone had reached inside me and was ripping my soul apart with their bare hands.Standing before us was our fated mate. The man chosen for us by the Moon Goddess.The man who now belonged to another woman.The mate bond pulse

Ophelia's POV I stared at the screen, unable to blink, unable to breathe.This had to be wrong. It had to be.My eyes moved over the letters again and again, hoping they would somehow change. They never did.A nervous laugh almost escaped me.Morgana had stood beside me through every important moment of my life. She had celebrated my mating ceremony, wiped away my tears when I struggled, and called me family more times than I could count.There was no world in which I believed she would betray me.There simply wasn't."Ma'am?"The receptionist's voice pulled me back to reality.I swallowed hard, forcing air into my lungs before I struggled to keep my expression calm."Where is he?"The receptionist hesitated. "Ma'am, perhaps you should contact your husband directly."My heart lurched painfully. "I asked where he is."The words came out sharper than I intended.Something in my voice must have unsettled her because she immediately straightened.Inside my mind, Amare was no longer simpl

Ophelia's POVI must have checked the time on my phone at least ten times in the last five minutes.It was only three forty-two in the afternoon, which meant I still had eighteen minutes before I was supposed to meet Morris. Even so, my heart refused to settle. It beat a little faster every time I looked at the clock, making me smile despite myself.The anticipation in my chest felt almost ridiculous for a woman who had been married for five years. Yet there I was, gripping the steering wheel and glancing at the time again as though the minutes might move faster if I stared hard enough.Today felt like a turning point.For weeks, I had been looking forward to our anniversary. After everything that had changed between us lately, I needed today to go well. More than that, I needed to believe our marriage was not slipping through my fingers.Five years ago, Morris Carpenter had accepted our mate bond and become my husband.For a long time, I believed our bond was unbreakable. Lately, how

Natalia's POVThe fresh afternoon breeze brushed against my face the moment I stepped outside, carrying with it the scent of pine trees, damp earth, and the distant river flowing beyond the border camp. Warriors continued moving around the campsite, each occupied with one duty or another. For the first time since I heard Shantel’s condition from Dominic, I felt the heavy burden on my chest becoming lighter.I began looking around the camp, searching for Dominic.He was nowhere near the medical tents.Neither was he standing beside Azrael or Walker, who were discussing something with a few warriors near the entrance of the camp.My eyes wandered farther until I finally spotted him.He stood near the edge of the forest, several feet away from everyone else.His broad back faced the camp while his attention remained fixed on the thick trees before him.His hands rested behind him, and although he stood perfectly still, something about his posture told me his mind was elsewhere.A small

Natalia's POVI slowly pulled away from the embrace, though I kept both of my hands resting on Shantel's shoulders.For a long moment, neither of us spoke. We simply looked at one another as though trying to convince ourselves that this was real.Only a short while ago, I had feared I would never hear her voice again. Now she was sitting before me, alive and breathing.Tears continued streaming down her cheeks, and despite wiping them away several times, they refused to stop falling."I can't believe you are alive." Her voice trembled with every word."They made me believe you were dead."A painful lump formed in my throat as I listened quietly."Even the driver's body..." She swallowed hard before continuing."It had been gutted open before they dragged me away."Her breathing became uneven as the memories returned."They took me somewhere deep inside the forest. I wanted to look for you. I truly did." She lowered her head. "But I could barely move. The accident had already left me t

Dominic's POVRelief washed over me so suddenly that I almost forgot how to breathe.For several long moments, I simply stood where I was, staring at Shantel as though I feared the slightest movement would break whatever miracle had just happened.Only a few seconds ago, she had been lying helplessly on the bed, her body burning with fever while her lips muttered words none of us could understand.Now she was breathing normally.The violent trembling had completely stopped.The strange sweat covering her face had disappeared almost as quickly as it had come.It was as though whatever had been tormenting her had vanished the very moment Natalia gave her the healing potion.A soft sneeze escaped Shantel once more before she blinked repeatedly, trying to adjust to the light inside the tent.Her confused gaze slowly wandered around the room until it finally settled on Natalia."My Lady..."Her voice sounded dry and weak.She frowned slightly as though trying to remember something.Then he

Chapter 65Inside Crystal Moon Pack.Six days had passed since Marcus and the nineteen warriors of Moonshine Pack secretly entered Crystal Moon Pack.The disguise potion had worked exactly as Shantel had promised. It had completely altered their appearance and masked their scents, allowing them to move among the rogues without raising a single suspicion. To everyone within Crystal Moon Pack, they were simply a group of wandering outcasts who had come looking for a place to live.During those six days, Marcus had carefully earned the trust of those around him.He never acted too eager, nor did he remain distant. He spoke only when necessary, fought fiercely whenever he was challenged, and carried himself with the confidence of someone who had survived countless battles. His calm nature, combined with his impressive combat skills, soon caught the attention of many rogues within the camp.Among them was Jamie, the second in command to Dark Lord.Jamie had taken a particular liking to Marc

Natalia's POVThe cool wind rushed past me as Hazel raced through the forest with powerful strides, keeping pace beside Dominic's massive gray wolf. Dry leaves scattered beneath our paws while the familiar scent of pine and damp earth filled the air around us. Every instinct inside me urged me to run faster.Hazel pushed herself harder, refusing to slow down until the familiar scent of our border camp reached us.The camp soon came into view between the towering trees. Warriors stood at different posts around the area, keeping a vigilant watch over the surroundings while several healers moved hurriedly between tents with bowls of herbs, clean cloths, and medicinal supplies.The moment Dominic crossed into the clearing, every wolf present straightened respectfully.Hazel gradually slowed before coming to a stop near the largest tent.As soon as I shifted back into my human form, a young female wolf hurried toward me carrying a neatly folded piece of clothing. She could not have been ol

Natalia's POVThe journey back to Dominic's estate felt far longer than the one that had brought me to the PackHouse.I sat quietly inside the car, my fingers wrapped tightly around the small wooden box resting on my lap. Every now and then, my thumb brushed against its smooth surface as though reassuring myself that the healing potion was still there. It was strange how something so small now carried the weight of a life and so much hope.Outside the car window, the forest stretched endlessly on both sides of the road. Tall trees swayed gently beneath the afternoon breeze.Ordinarily, I would have admired the peaceful scenery. Today, I barely noticed it because my thoughts refused to remain still.They drifted back to Dominic.More specifically, they returned to the conversation we had shared beneath the olive tree only an hour earlier.The healer's words echoed repeatedly inside my mind.The only way is to claim her as your mate.Each time I remembered those words, an uncomfortable
