ENEMY'S CLAIM:CLAIMED BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA
He wanted revenge on her dead mate. She became the price he was determined to claim.
Tamara thought losing her mate, Alpha Valentine, was the worst pain she would ever experience. With her pack crumbling and enemies closing in, she had no choice but to make the ultimate sacrifice by accepting a new mating bond with Atlas, the ruthless Alpha of Shadow Crescent.
But Atlas doesn't want a mate.
He wants revenge.
Years ago, Valentine murdered Atlas's younger brother in cold blood, leaving Atlas with a wound that time could never heal. He swore to make Valentine suffer for what he had done, to strip him of everything he loved and make him taste the same agony.
But Valentine died before Atlas could collect his revenge.
Now, the only thing Valentine has left behind is Tamara—his beloved mate, his Luna, and the woman Atlas has sworn to make pay for his sins.
Dragged into a marriage built on hatred, Tamara finds herself trapped beneath the roof of an Alpha who sees her as nothing more than a tool for vengeance. He humiliates her, threatens her, and vows to make her regret ever belonging to the man he despises.
Yet beneath Atlas's cold cruelty lies a darkness Tamara doesn't understand. And when he begins to notice the scars she desperately tries to hide, something in him shifts in ways neither of them expected.
Tamara is determined not to let Atlas destroy what remains of her.
Atlas is determined to break her just as Valentine broke him.
But what happens when revenge becomes obsession? When hatred begins to burn with a dangerous desire neither can control?
He married her to settle a blood debt.
She never expected to become his greatest weakness.

Chapter: CHAPTER 4TAMARA."What?" My voice was low. "What are you talking about?"Something flashed in Atlas's eyes as he took another step closer."That morning, I had left him at home. My little brother. He was just fourteen, too young to understand the brutality of war, too innocent to be dragged into the bloodshed that had consumed our packs.""When news arrived that Moonlight Pack warriors were attacking our borders, I had gathered my men and prepared to leave immediately. My brother had followed me to the door, asking when I would return."He shook his head and let out a humourless chuckle."I remembered the way he had looked at me, his eyes bright with the kind of trust only a child could have for someone he believed would always protect him.'Stay inside,' I had told him, resting a hand on his head. 'Whatever happens today, don't leave this house. Do you understand?'He had nodded.""I should have known that would be the last time I would see my brother alive.By the time we reached the border,

Chapter: CHAPTER 3TAMARA.For a moment, I could not speak. Of all the people who could have witnessed what had just happened, it had to be him.Atlas had heard Darius threaten me with banishment, and judging by the calmness in his eyes, he seemed completely satisfied by it.I forced myself to straighten.“Exactly how much did you demand in exchange for protecting my pack?”He answered without hesitation.“For now, just you.”My fists tightened.“As your mate.”It wasn't a question.His eyes remained on mine.“As whatever I desire you to be.”He stepped closer.“And there are many things I can think of at the moment, Tamara.”I held his gaze even though every instinct told me to step away.“I am not your property.”“Not yet,” he agreed.The answer surprised me.Then his voice became colder.“But you're about to be. Because you are a woman who has agreed to mate the enemy because your people need what I control.”Anger rose inside me.“I did not agree willingly.”“You are still standing here.”His words

Chapter: CHAPTER 2ATLAS.She called me a devil. She had no idea.I watched her reaction after I told her she would leave with me that night.She was standing only a few feet away, but she looked as though I had sentenced her to death. Her face had gone pale, yet she refused to lower her eyes. There was fear in them, but there was anger too, and somehow that anger interested me more than the fear.Valentine's widow.I should have felt guilty.Instead, I felt satisfied.For years, I had imagined what I would do if Valentine ever stood before me again. I had imagined the questions I would ask him, the debts I would collect, and the moment I would finally make him understand what his war had cost me.But Valentine was dead.He had escaped me without knowing that I was coming for him.Then Tamara was left.His widow.The woman Valentine had chosen, loved, and left behind.My gaze remained on her as memories rose in my mind.Rain.I could still remember what it was like that night, even after all these years

Chapter: CHAPTER 1TAMARA.I knew something was wrong the moment I walked into the council chamber that morning. The elders were already seated around the long table, but none of them looked at ease. Their faces were serious, their hands folded in front of them, and the usual quiet conversations that filled the room before a council meeting were missing. No one had told me why I had been summoned. That alone was enough to make me suspicious.I had barely taken my place in front of the council when my thoughts returned to what I had been told that morning. Alpha Atlas of Shadow Crescent was coming to Moonlight Pack. I had never met him, but I knew his name well. Everyone did. Shadow Crescent and Moonlight Pack had not seen eye to eye for years. Our packs had fought on opposite sides during the war, and although the fighting had ended, the hatred left behind had never completely disappeared.So why was Alpha Atlas coming here now? And why had I been called into the council chamber before his arrival?I lo
