~~~~~~RYKER~~~~~The moment she wrapped her arms around me, my wolf went wild.A strange wave of heat rushed through my body, making it difficult to think clearly. I stiffened, caught completely off guard by her sudden action.Why was she hugging me?Was she embarrassed because the maids had watched me drag her around earlier? Or was she simply trying to prove something?Whatever her reason was, I wasn't supposed to enjoy it.I stood motionless, forcing myself to remain calm. Her arms tightened around my waist, almost as though she wanted to make me lose my balance. I could feel the warmth of her body against mine, and my wolf was becoming increasingly restless.Then, as if suddenly remembering that we weren't alone, she released me.I glanced around and noticed that the maids and guards had hurriedly disappeared from the dining area. Perhaps she had been waiting for them to leave before doing something so unexpected.But my mind was no longer focused on them.I couldn't think straigh

~~~~~~~Layla~~~~~The maid led me through a series of elegant corridors before stopping in front of an enormous room. The moment I stepped inside, my eyes widened slightly.It was breathtaking.Beautiful dresses of different colours and designs filled the wardrobes, while expensive decorations adorned the walls. Even the polished marble floor looked more luxurious than anything I had ever seen. Everything about the room screamed wealth and royalty.I couldn't help but admire it.For once, I wasn't thinking about Ryker. In fact, I was almost relieved that he seemed to have someone else in his heart. Perhaps that would make things easier for me. If he already loved another woman, there was a good chance he would eventually reject me. Our mate bond wasn't particularly strong yet, so perhaps there was still hope of escaping this unwanted connection.However, I could feel Leah's sadness.My wolf had been unusually quiet since everything happened. She hadn't said a single word, but I could

~~~~~Ryker's POV~~~~~My wolf had been restless ever since I sent Layla to the dungeon.Reid wouldn't let me have a moment of peace. He kept pacing inside my head, whining and growling whenever I tried to concentrate on anything else.I couldn't understand what his problem was.Layla had brought it upon herself. She was far too full of herself, daring to push Zoey to the floor and even attempting to slap her. She needed to understand that her actions had consequences.But that wasn't the only reason I had sent her to the dungeon.I hated seeing her walk around freely, as though nothing had happened between our packs. She needed to suffer. She needed to struggle and pay for the sins of her family. And when the time was right, I would find a way to wipe out every last one of them.That was the plan.Yet Reid seemed determined to ruin it.Let me hear her voice, he kept demanding.I clenched my jaw.Stop disturbing me.She's our mate, Ryker. How can you be so cruel to her?I ignored him,

~~~~Zoey ~~~~~~After the guards dragged that foolish woman who called herself Ryker's Luna away to the dungeon, I finally felt some relief.Thank goodness I had acted quickly.I couldn't stand the thought of Ryker bringing another woman into his life, especially someone like Layla Draven. He should have rejected her the moment he discovered who she was. Instead, he had marked her and brought her into our pack.An enemy's daughter as his Luna?How ridiculous.I had loved Ryker since childhood. Ever since my father, the former Beta of the Blood Moon Pack, helped save him when he was twelve after his family was attacked by their enemies, I had been by his side.I remembered the boy he used to be, the pain he carried after losing his parents, and the years he spent growing into the powerful Alpha he was today.I had watched him from a distance, hoping that one day he would finally see me as more than his childhood friend.But fate had other plans.And because of Ryker, I had even rejecte

~~~~~~~~Layla~~~~The guards dragged me down the hallway before throwing me into the dungeon like a sack of potatoes.How wonderful.Not only had I been treated like rubbish since arriving at this pack, but now even the guards had forgotten how to show respect to their Luna.I landed on the cold floor with a painful thud."Watch where you're throwing me!" I snapped, glaring at the guards.One of them simply shut the heavy door in my face.Unbelievable.I pushed myself up and looked around.The dungeon was even smaller than the pathetic room Ryker had assigned me. The air was foul, the floor smelled disgusting, and dust covered almost every corner. It was so dark that I could barely make out anything beyond the little space around me.Was this where they kept people?Or had Ryker personally ordered them to prepare it for his unwanted mate?I moved towards a corner and sat down, pulling my knees close to my chest.Two days.He had ordered me to stay in this filthy place for two whole da

~~~~~~~~Layla~~~~~~~The warm sunlight slipped through the window and landed directly on my face.I groaned, feeling an uncomfortable weakness throughout my body. My eyelids felt unusually heavy as I struggled to open them.Where the hell was I?I slowly moved my hand across the surface beneath me. It felt soft, although I could tell I was lying on the floor.Wait.The floor?My eyes flew open, and I immediately pushed myself upright. Unfortunately, the sudden movement made my head spin.Memories of the previous night came rushing back.The long walk through the woods, my injured knee, the unbearable exhaustion, and that stupid man who had practically forced me onto a horse before knocking me unconscious.I looked around.I was in a room.A very small room.I stared at the walls, the tiny window and the miserable-looking bed. Was this supposed to be a bedroom?I had seen servants' rooms bigger than this.Was this how the Blood Moon Pack treated their Luna?I tried to stand, but my leg
