Chapter: Chapter 33SELENE'S POVI woke to the sensation of being watched, a prickling heat on the back of my neck that had my muscles locking up before my eyes even opened. When I finally forced them open, Lucien was there, hovering over me with an intensity that felt less like concern and more like scrutiny. His golden eyes were the first thing I saw, unblinking and unnervingly bright in the dim light of the bedroom, and for a split second, a jolt of pure, instinctive terror shot through me so violently I nearly scrambled out of the bed.I froze, my breath catching in my throat as I stared up at him, waiting for the monster I remembered to reveal itself. My mind was a chaotic jumble of fragmented images: the crushing weight of coils, the taste of dirt and fear, the sound of a hiss that vibrated in my bones, and those same golden eyes staring down at me with predatory intent.I blinked rapidly, trying to clear the fog, searching his face for scales, for a slit pupil, for any sign of the creature that ha

Chapter: Chapter 32LUCIEN'S POVI woke with a strange pressure moving beneath my skin, a deep, unsettling vibration that felt less like a illness and more like something trying to claw its way out from the inside. For several seconds, I remained perfectly still, staring into the darkness of the bedroom while my mind raced to calculate how much time I had left before the human facade cracked. Selene was sleeping beside me, her breathing slow and even, one hand resting near my chest in a gesture of trust that made the guilt in my gut twist like a knife.Then the pressure came again, stronger this time, a physical force pushing against my ribs and demanding release with a urgency that made my jaw tighten until my teeth ached.The full moon.I had known this night would be difficult. I had felt it building since sunset, a creeping dread that settled in my bones and warned me that my control was slipping, but I had hoped I could keep it under control long enough for Selene to sleep through the night without

Chapter: Chapter 31CHAPTER 31 SELENE'S POV "Lucien?" The name barely made it past my lips. The serpent didn't move. Those enormous golden eyes remained fixed on me, unblinking and impossibly familiar. I looked down at my hand, at the crushed flowers dripping sap across my palm, and realized I had snapped their stems without feeling it. I squeezed my eyes shut. When I opened them, the serpent was still there. "This is a dream," I whispered. The words sounded hollow even to me. I was standing in the garden. I could smell the damp earth, the night-blooming jasmine, the metallic tang of my own blood where a thorn had caught my wrist. Dreams didn't carry scent. Dreams didn't leave scratches. But I knew this creature. Not this exact serpent, perhaps—not consciously. But for years, I had dreamed of a massive serpent with dark scales and golden eyes that watched me from shadows, coiled and waiting. Those dreams had stopped the moment I began sharing a bed with Lucien. I looked at the serpent's body,

Chapter: Chapter 30SELENE'S POVThe howling didn't just wake me; it tore me out of sleep like a hook in my throat. It wasn't a dream. Dreams didn't carry that kind of visceral, bone-deeping terror.The sound drifted through the darkness, a mournful, rising and falling wail that echoed somewhere beyond the estate's high stone walls. It sounded human, agonizingly so, but beneath the cry lay something primal, something wild that made the hair on my arms stand up and my skin crawl as if infested with insects. I opened my eyes, my heart already hammering against my ribs like a trapped bird.For a few seconds, I lay paralyzed, staring into the darkness. The bedroom was suffocating, washed only in pale, sickly moonlight that sliced through the gaps in the curtains. The fabric moved gently with a breeze I couldn't feel, but beside me, the sheets were cold.Empty. Panic, sharp and immediate, spiked in my chest. "Lucien?"My voice was a trembling whisper, instantly swallowed by the heavy silence of the room. Anot

Chapter: Chapter 29Selene's POV By the time I finished preparing dinner, the kitchen smelled so good that even I was tempted to sneak a taste before Lucien came home. I glanced at the clock again. He should be home soon. I smiled to myself and returned to the stove, stirring the sauce while imagining the look on his face when he discovered I had cooked everything myself. Lucien was always taking care of everyone around him, making decisions, solving problems, carrying responsibilities that seemed to belong to an entire army of people. Tonight, I wanted him to come home and simply be taken care of. The thought warmed something inside me. I was still smiling when Margaret entered the kitchen. She stopped near the doorway and looked through the large windows overlooking the garden. Her expression changed almost immediately. "Mrs. Drakon?" I turned. "Yes?" She hesitated, her eyes darting back to the window before she looked at me. There was a strange tension in her posture, a rigidity that hadn't be

Chapter: Chapter 28SELENE'S POVI had stared at the same paragraph for ten minutes. The words blurred into meaningless ink. My mind wasn't here. It was upstairs, in the sunlight of our bedroom, locked on Lucien. I closed the book with a snap, the sound echoing in the quiet room. My heart gave a painful, rhythmic beat.God. A smile tugged at my lips, uncontrollable and bright. I covered my face with both hands, trying to smother it, but the heat in my cheeks betrayed me. Selene, stop. But I couldn't. The memory was too vivid.I remembered the weight of him, the terrifying strength he usually kept so tightly leashed, now used only to hold me closer. I remembered the way his kisses had started, slow, deliberate, giving me every chance to pull away. And when I didn't, when I leaned in, the way he had groled, a sound that vibrated through my chest and settled deep in my belly. It hadn't just been sex. It had been a claiming, yes, but not of ownership. It was a surrender. His surrender.He hadn't pulled away

A Stranger Wearing Her Eyes
Isabella was the Luna, wife, and fated mate of Alpha Zane Borislav.
Until one accusation cost her everything.
Found beside an unconscious stranger, Isabella insists she has no memory of how she ended up there. But before she can defend herself, further accusations emerge, and evidence linking her to the Bloodfang Rogues threatens the security of the entire kingdom.
Zane, the man she trusted above all others, refuses to believe her. He breaks their mate bond, strips her of her crown, and banishes her before the very people who once bowed to her.
Once loved and respected, Isabella becomes an outcast overnight.
With nowhere to turn, she disappears into the forbidden mountains, determined to survive and bury the life she once knew. A chance encounter leads her to a witch who gives her something she never thought possible: a new face and the opportunity to become someone no one will recognize.
Six years later, Isabella has rebuilt her life under a new identity. She has no desire to reclaim her crown or seek revenge. All she wants is to protect the life she has fought so hard to build.
Then fate brings her straight into Zane's territory.
Zane doesn't recognize her.
But his wolf does.
Unable to explain his inexplicable attraction to another man's wife, Zane finds himself drawn to a woman whose presence stirs something he thought he had lost forever. The more he encounters her, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them or the questions surrounding the betrayal that destroyed his marriage.
Isabella has spent six years escaping the past. She cannot afford to let Zane discover who she really is.
But when a bond refuses to die, a new face may not be enough to keep the truth buried.

Chapter: Chapter 12***ZANE'S POV***I had barely reached the corridor when I stopped. Ella was somewhere ahead of me. I could still sense her scent, faint but familiar, and my wolf was urging me to follow it. Every instinct inside me insisted that I should catch up with her, get her alone, and find out who she really was.I took another step before the absurdity of what I was doing finally registered.What the fuck was I doing?I stopped completely and looked down the corridor. I was the Alpha King of Ashen Kingdom, and I had just abandoned a hall filled with visiting Alphas because a woman reminded me of someone I had banished six years ago. Was I missing Isabella so much that a familiar scent was enough to make me lose my sense? Was I seriously about to chase another man's wife through my own palace simply because she had the same eyes as the woman I once called my mate?I rubbed a hand over my face. This was ridiculous.Isabella was gone. I had made that decision myself, and I had never questioned it

Chapter: Chapter 11**ISABELLA'S POV**The closer we came to Ashen Kingdom, the harder it became to keep my attention on the road ahead.I sat beside Terrence in the carriage, with Zachary resting against me. He had been talking excitedly about the summit since we left Blue Moon, asking questions about the other Alphas and whether he would get to see their wolves. I had answered whenever he spoke to me, but my mind was elsewhere. The familiar landscape brought back a feeling I had spent years trying to leave behind.I kept my hands folded in my lap and watched the trees pass outside the window. I had promised myself that returning here would not affect me. I had a different face, a different name, a family waiting for me, and a life I had built with my own hands. None of that changed the fact that every mile brought me closer to a place I had never wanted to see again.Terrence reached across the seat and rested his hand over mine."You've been quiet."I turned to him. "I'm just a little tired."He studi

Chapter: Chapter 10**ZANE'S POV** The grand hall was already filled with visiting Alphas when I took my position beside Monica. As Alpha King, I was accustomed to receiving the leaders of other territories. Some came seeking alliances, others came to discuss disputes, and a few simply wanted to maintain their relationship with the kingdom. Whatever their reasons, they all understood the importance of showing respect when they entered my territory. I greeted each delegation personally, exchanging pleasantries before allowing Tyrone to escort them to their seats. "Your Majesty, Alpha Terrence of the Blue Moon Clan has arrived." I turned toward the entrance. Terrence walked in with two guards behind him. I recognized him from previous gatherings, although we had never had much reason to interact beyond official matters. He approached with a respectful smile. "Your Majesty." "Alpha Terrence. Welcome to Ashen Kingdom." We clasped hands. "It's an honor to be here," he replied. I was about to welcome

Chapter: Chapter 9Isabella's POV “Zachary, if you put one more biscuit in your pocket, you will have to explain to Mrs. Collins why her entire tin has disappeared.”My son froze beside the counter, his small hand halfway into the biscuit tin. He looked at me, then at the biscuit he had already managed to hide in his pocket, apparently weighing the consequences of his actions. Behind him, Mrs. Collins, one of my regular customers, burst out laughing.“I was saving it for later, Mama.”“You have been saving biscuits for later since you learned how to walk.”“But I get hungry later.”I gave up pretending to be stern and lifted him onto the stool beside the counter. After wiping the crumbs from his cheek, I handed him a small plate with two biscuits on it.“These are yours. The rest belong to the customers.”He accepted the arrangement with a satisfied nod, while Mrs. Collins shook her head in amusement.My mornings at the inn rarely passed without something demanding my attention.

Chapter: Chapter 8SIX YEARS LATER ZANE'S POVSix years had passed since I tore the crown from Isabella’s head and banished her from the Ashen Pack. The decision had changed more than I had anticipated, though I had spent years refusing to examine the consequences.I stood by the massive arched windows of the Alpha’s study, staring out over the sprawling stone courtyard. Below, guards moved between the buildings while servants hurried about their duties. The kingdom remained strong, its borders secure and its people prosperous, yet the silence that followed me into my private chambers was something I had never learned to tolerate.My inner wolf shifted restlessly beneath my skin, his displeasure a constant presence I had long since grown accustomed to ignoring. He had never accepted the severed bond, and neither time nor my efforts to bury the past had persuaded him otherwise.“Zane! Are you even listening to me?”Monica's voice cut through my thoughts. I didn't turn around.“Zane!”Her heels clicked s

Chapter: Chapter 7Isabella's POVA month had passed since Terrence brought me to the Blue Moon Clan, and I was beginning to feel settled. I had found a cleaning job at an inn near the market, and although the long hours left me exhausted, I was getting used to the work. At least I could earn my own money while living under Terrence's roof.He had never made me feel like a burden. We often shared dinner when his duties allowed it, and our conversations had become something I looked forward to. For all his authority as Alpha, Terrence was easy to talk to, and I had come to trust him as a friend.That evening, we sat together at the dining table while he told me about a merchant who had wasted nearly an hour arguing over a simple dispute.“You should have seen his face when I ruled against him,” Terrence said, shaking his head. “Apparently, he expected me to change the rules because he didn't like them.”I laughed. “Perhaps he thought you would eventually get tired of listening to him.”“I nearly did.”Hi
