HE CHOSE HER LIES OVER ME
On the day Selene Ashwood is meant to become Luna, the woman who once destroyed her life returns covered in blood, and with a single lie that shatters everything.
Branded the daughter of a traitor since childhood, Selene has spent her life fighting for a place in the Moonfang Pack. When the Moon Goddess reveals Kael Draven, the future Alpha, as her fated mate, she dares to believe her darkest days are finally over. But when Kael's former lover accuses Selene of kidnapping and torture, the evidence is impossible to ignore, and the man who once swore to protect her chooses doubt over love.
Imprisoned, betrayed, and hunted as a fugitive, Selene uncovers a secret capable of destroying every Alpha in the Northern Territories. Her father's execution was built on a lie, and the conspiracy that stole his life is far from over. As hidden enemies close in and old loyalties crumble, Selene must decide whether to reclaim the mate who abandoned her, or embrace a new path beside the mysterious Alpha willing to risk everything for the truth.
In a world where love is tested by power, trust is more dangerous than claws, and every lie demands blood, one woman will rise from betrayal to rewrite her destiny.
He chose her lies over me. Now he'll have to decide if the truth is worth losing me forever.

Chapter: Chapter 6Chapter Six: What My Father KnewThe first page was dated nearly two years before his execution, and his handwriting only grew more rushed with every entry after that, as though he had known, even then, that time was running short.I traced my finger over the ink, half expecting it to smear after nineteen years, half expecting the entire journal to dissolve into nothing the way good things always seemed to in my life. It didn't.The pages held steady beneath my hands, solid proof that the story I had been told since childhood had never been the whole truth."He suspected something was wrong long before anyone branded him a traitor," I said, my voice barely above a whisper."He suspected it because he found proof," Ronan said. "Keep reading."I turned the page, and the next entry described a meeting my father had witnessed by accident, three Alphas from neighboring territories gathered with a group of rogue wolves no pack should ever have welcomed within its borders. He had written d

Chapter: Chapter 5Chapter Five: My Father's HandwritingThe figure in the doorway wasn't wearing a hood this time."We don't have long," he said, his voice low and unfamiliar, an accent I couldn't place from anywhere in Moonfang's territory. "If you want answers about your father, you need to trust me for the next few minutes, and only the next few minutes.""Who are you?""Someone who has waited a long time for the right moment to get you out of here." He held out a hand, his expression urgent rather than threatening. "The guards changed shift four minutes ago. We have maybe six before someone notices the corridor is too quiet.""I'm not going anywhere with a stranger in the middle of the night.""Then you'll die in this cell, either from the council's verdict or from whoever already tried to poison you. I would rather it not be either."Something about the certainty in his voice, the lack of pleading, made me hesitate instead of refuse outright. I thought of the note hidden beneath my mattress. Sta

Chapter: Chapter 4The Bread I Didn't Eat;I didn't sleep again after that note, not properly. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw my father's face the way I remembered it from childhood, the way he used to swing me onto his shoulders after training, before any of this began.I kept turning the note over and over in the privacy of my mind, where no guard could take it from me. Whoever had written it, whoever had risked everything to slip it beneath my bread, believed there was something about my father's death still worth protecting, even now, even after nineteen years."You look terrible," Kael said, and I startled so badly I nearly knocked over the basin beside me.I hadn't heard the cell door open. He stood just inside it, dressed plainly, none of the formal robes from the ceremony two days earlier. The dark circles beneath his eyes matched the ones I felt forming beneath my own."What do you want?" I asked, and I heard how cold my voice sounded, how unlike the woman who had laughed with him through a

Chapter: Chapter 3What the Bread Was HidingThe stone beneath the Alpha's residence held the cold of winter no matter the season, and I had been sitting in it long enough to lose track of how many hours had passed since the doors closed behind me."You're not eating," Lyra said through the bars, setting down a tray she shouldn't have been allowed to bring."I'm not hungry.""You need to eat regardless. Starving yourself won't prove your innocence any faster.""Nothing I do is proving anything right now." I pulled my knees to my chest, the stone floor unforgiving beneath me. "How bad is it out there?"Lyra hesitated, and that hesitation told me everything before she said a word."Tell me."“The whole pack is talking about it. Some say you've been planning this since you were a child, waiting for the right moment to remove Aurora so you could become Luna without competition.""That's insane. I didn't even know she was alive.""I know. I believe you." She glanced over her shoulder, checking the corridor b

Chapter: Chapter 2A Name That Wasn't Mine"Aurora."Kael said her name like a word he had forgotten how to pronounce, the kind of stunned disbelief that needed no further explanation. I felt his hand tighten around mine before it went slack entirely, and something in my chest understood, before my mind caught up, that the worst day of my life had just begun.She collapsed before she reached us, dropping to her knees on the stone floor as if her legs had given out from exhaustion rather than performance. Bruises mapped her arms in shades of purple and yellow. Her hair, once perfectly kept, hung in matted clumps around her face."Someone help her," an elder called, and three warriors rushed forward.Kael was already moving, releasing me without a second glance, and I told myself it was instinct, the same instinct that made him stop bullies from hurting me when we were children. I told myself it meant nothing."Aurora, what happened to you?" Kael knelt beside her, his voice rough with something I recogniz

Chapter: Chapter 1Chapter One: The Last Innocent Morning. I had spent nineteen years learning how to survive being hated. Nothing taught me how to survive being loved, not until the morning it was taken from me in front of every Alpha in the Northern Territories."Stop fidgeting," Lyra said, pins between her teeth. "If you ruin this braid, I am blaming you to the Moon Goddess herself.""I'm not fidgeting, I'm breathing.""You're doing both far too fast." She stepped back and studied me in the mirror. "Selene, look at yourself. Just once, before you talk yourself out of how happy you're allowed to be."I looked. The girl in the mirror barely resembled the one who used to walk the long way to the training grounds so the other children wouldn't have a clear shot at throwing stones at her."You look like a Luna," Lyra said quietly."I look like someone wearing a Luna's dress.""That's the same thing, and you know it."A knock interrupted us before I could argue. Kael's voice came through the door, low a
