The Enemy’s Bed: Bound to the Alpha Who Used Me
For years, Axista Briarwyn was the invisible, unshifted she-wolf of the Black Hollow Dominion—mocked by her family and overshadowed by her cruel sister, Calista. But when Calista betrays her fated Alpha, Riven Thornevale, with another man, Riven's fury erupts. In a night of raw mating heat, whiskey, and dark vengeance at the Eclipse Moon Territory, he claims Axista instead.
Axista thought her childhood crush was a dream come true, but she wakes up to find she has been used as a pawn to break her sister’s heart. Marked, knotted, and forced into a six-month blood oath at the Moon Oath Sanctum, she is dragged into the dangerous halls of the Ironmoon Keep as a placeholder Luna.
With her furious mother casting her out, a vengeful sister plotting her death, and a ruthless, possessive Alpha who refuses to grant her the annulment she begs for, Axista must learn to survive. But as the wolf-bond deepens and secrets of her own true heritage begin to bleed out, Riven realizes he has claimed a force far greater than he ever anticipated.
Will Axista remain a submissive pawn in their territory wars, or will she rise as the ultimate Luna to make everyone who trampled her crawl?

Chapter: C10"That is insane," Sorrell muttered, swirling his whiskey. "Though... I was ready to tear her throat out until I actually spoke to her.""You like her," Riven said, his voice dropping into an Alpha growl.Sorrell grinned, a sharp flash of fangs. "How are we going to spin this to our parents?""I am not telling them about Calista mating with Crowholt," Riven spat, slamming his glass down. "It will destroy Lady Velastra to know her favored she-wolf is a treacherous bitch. Calista can rot in her own filth. I have moved on.""Mother will strip the skin from Calista's back if she finds out," Sorrell agreed, his eyes gleaming with dark amusement. "She would drag the Briarwyn name through the mud.""It is a damn mess."Sorrell shook his head, pushing off the stone wall. "I hate these female games. This is why I only bed human blood-slaves in the outer dens."Riven sneered. "You lack vision, brother.""Maybe," Sorrell countered, heading for the heavy iron doors. "But I did not accidentally bin

Chapter: C9I held out the annulment parchment where my inner-territory address was marked in red ink. "And this is my den address."Sorrell stared at me like I was some rogue beast from the northern wastes. I got it. If he assumed I was a gold-digging unshifted leech, he couldn't comprehend why I wasn't digging my claws into the Thornevale pack fortune."You don't want any gold?" he asked softly, his Beta aura easing just a fraction."No." I shook my head, my skull pounding so hard the room tilted."So why did you mate my brother?""Wow. You must have a pretty pathetic opinion of your own Alpha if you think the only reason a female would take his mark is for gold.""Not just any female, sweetheart. You."My claws wanted to snap out, but I had no beast to back up the fight.I pulled my leather satchel over my shoulder. "I've had a crush on Riven since I was a pup. When he found me at the Silver Fang Lodge and gave me attention... it felt good. He never even looked at me before." No one in the pac

Chapter: C8My beast growled in my chest, a dark, dangerous rumble that rattled my ribs as I remembered the way Axista had looked standing in the middle of the Ironmoon Keep—fragile, pale, and thoroughly wrecked by the storm I’d dragged her into."The Briarwyns are at the main gates," Jameson, the Thornevale family’s old Beta butler, announced as he stepped into the vaulted high-hall, his head bowed. "Alpha Emeric and Lady Velastra have requested your presence in the reception den immediately.""Thank you, Jameson," Lady Velastra said smoothly, her silver-threaded robes sweeping the stone floor as she stood up.She possessed the terrifying, refined grace of an elder Luna, the exact kind of ruthless poise my ex-fated mate Calista had spent years trying to copy.Looking at my mother, I couldn't help but remember Axista standing in her blood-stained linen tunic, her untamed curls pinned up in a loose knot, completely devoid of the painted perfection my family expected of a female.She hadn't looked

Chapter: C7The heavy scent of dried wolfsbane and pine ash blew through the iron-grated window of the master den, carrying the sharp sting of pack betrayal into the cold room."I need to go back to my cabin, Riven," I told him, keeping my voice low so the throbbing in my skull wouldn't shatter into another blinding migraine."You can keep your damned pelt-dyeing hut," he growled, standing near the heavy ironbound door of his den. "But you sleep in my bed now."My damned place?"I have a very humble cabin near the outer woods," I snapped back, my weak, unshifted wolf whining in my chest at his harshness. "It is not the Ironmoon Keep, but it is mine. I have room for my canvases and pisk-dyes, and—""I don't give a fuck, Axista," he cut me off, his silver eyes flashing with warning. "Just gather your things and move into this room. This will be your den."He slammed the timber door behind him, the heavy iron latch clicking into place like a trap.I wanted to scream at his back, to demand that he tr

Chapter: C6My jaw tightened as Riven pulled Calista back into his arms, his raw, cedarwood-scent flaring with a dark, possessive need that made my inner wolf whimper in betrayal."How could you do this to me?" Calista sobbed, her claws digging into his leather-clad chest as she searched his silver-gray eyes for the mate-bond they once shared. "You swore we would rule this territory together!""It just happened, Calista," Riven muttered, his deep voice carrying a low, rough edge of guilt, though his arms remained locked around her waist.A tiny gasp of agony cut through the heavy silence of the office, making my ears twitch.I was sitting on the cold stone floor by the iron-bound display table, my head spinning so violently I could barely keep my eyes open.My mother, Orielle, didn't even look in my direction as she stroked Calista’s hair, whispering soothing words to her favorite daughter while completely ignoring my bleeding temple.With trembling fingers, I pressed a piece of rough linen again

Chapter: C5"What's that?"I folded my arms tightly over my chest, afraid that if I touched them, the silver magic would burn me.He pushed one box toward me. "Open it, Axista.""No."He growled softly, a sound that vibrated right through my boots.He came to my side of the desk, opened the box, and pulled out a heavy silver ring carved with ancient protection runes.I tried to pull my hand back, but his grip was like iron.That was the ring he had commissioned for Calista.I didn't want it.I wanted my own mate band, a real connection, not my sister's hand-me-downs."Axista, don't be stubborn.""No.""Axista, it's time to face the music. We're bound. And you owe me."I frowned, my hand balling into a fist. "Owe you?""You let me claim you at the sanctum—the least you can do is help me keep my pack standing before the elders think I've lost my mind."Tears stung my eyes. "My family will cast me out.""Then you shouldn't have said the blood oath at the Moon Oath Sanctum, sweetheart."He actually s
