The bastard Alpha's Mate
Under the full moon, Lyra Cynthion watched her entire pack slaughtered by a tyrant alpha. The sole survivor, she was chained in silver and enslaved for years, scarred by abuse that never extinguished her rage.
Captured by Alpha Viktor Alistair, the fated bond sparked hope—until he spat in her face before the entire court:
“I, Viktor Alistair, reject you, Lyra Cynthion, slave, as my fated mate.”
Sentenced to the Ceremonial Hunt, Lyra bleeds, kills, and escapes into the human world. She dyes her silver hair black, hides in Mateo’s bar, and swears to make Viktor beg.
Two years of silence shatter when Dean Valerius walks through the door: rising bastard alpha, storm-blue eyes starving, scent of forbidden forest.
“I am Dean Valerius… your future alpha,” he growls, awakening the wolf she buried.
The same rare blood binds them.
Now she has a choice: use the bastard to destroy Viktor…
or let him destroy her.
Brutal enemies-to-lovers • Soul-crushing rejection • Merciless revenge • Rising alpha • Forbidden mate bond
The rejected wolf is back.
And this time, she hunts.

Chapter: Chapter 37: Lie or Truth?Chapter 37: Lie or Truth?We returned to the hall, my hand resting on Dean’s arm, just in time to witness the most dramatic and exaggerated entrance of the night. I sighed, bored and disappointed with what I was seeing.They entered in a line, presumably in order of hierarchy—the elders of the alliance. Looking at them, no one would call them old; after all, werewolves enjoyed a much longer youth. But it was noticeable that they were no longer at the peak of their strength.As they passed among the guests, wolves and she-wolves lowered their heads in respect for those ancient wolves, but Dean did not join them. He kept his head high, simply waiting for the group to approach. Still, I had to play my part of the innocent and fragile Luna, even though I believed none of those old wolves deserved my respect.When they stopped in front of Dean and me, I bowed with impeccable posture. “Greetings, elders,” I said in a low, delicate voice.“Alpha Dean Valerius, explain this.” The elder at the

Chapter: Chapter 36: Keep Your PromiseWith every new interaction I had at the party, I tried to identify who had approached me and spoken those strange words. As if I didn’t already know, I was constantly being watched. Viktor’s allies were everywhere at that party, just as there were those whose trust he was still trying to win—but I highly doubted he would succeed.“That spoiled pup ruined any chance he had,” I whispered, turning to observe my surroundings.Dean’s scent hit me suddenly. Powerful, intense, enveloping. I turned my face slightly and saw him approaching, dodging some and ignoring others, firm in every step he took.“I will take my Luna away for a few moments,” he announced upon arriving, taking my hand and interlacing our fingers.My heart leaped

Chapter: Chapter 35: Forbidden HerbsMany questions were forming in my head, but none of those she-wolves could give me an answer. My eyes found Dean again; he seemed engrossed in a conversation with his beta and other wolves.The information I got from Eleanor and the other Lunas was pure gold, and I would use it to craft the most spectacular jewel of all.The party continued.The lower-caste wolves and she-wolves seemed more animated and agitated than the Lunas, which was very strange. Our bodies don’t process alcohol the way humans do, so we don’t get drunk no matter how much we drink. Kira appeared behind a particularly rowdy group, her eyes pointing to something on the floor near my foot.A small glass vial, still containing traces of what looked like herbs. I examined the vial curiously, b

Chapter: Chapter 34: Drops of PoisonI walked through the hall with my head held high. Now, everyone knew who I was and cleared a path so I could move without difficulty. I smiled and nodded, maintaining the image of a sweet and gentle she-wolf.“Miss.” Someone called me. I turned, surprised that anyone would address me so casually after everything that had happened. I looked and saw a group of she-wolves approaching.Five she-wolves, all far too young to be anyone’s mate, which made the interaction even more out of place. Their judgmental gazes swept over my body from head to toe, and then I understood who they were. I glanced beyond the small group and saw Seraphina surrounded by other she-wolves, laughing as they sipped from their glasses.“What a beautiful dress you’re wearing. Could you give us the contact of who made it?” One of the she-wolves stepped closer, trying to touch me, but I pushed her hand away with a sharp slap.The she-wolves looked shocked—very different from everyone else around us. Even I, a mere sl

Chapter: Chapter 33: A Silver MaskEven though he looked calm, I could feel the rage exploding inside Dean. His blue eyes gleamed, his smile baring his canines. That interaction was becoming dangerous, and as curious as I was about what Viktor had said, this was far from the best moment to dive deeper into the subject.With little I could do, I grabbed Dean’s arm and made him look at me. I rested my head on his shoulder, giving him a sweet, affectionate look, and the hostile atmosphere vanished completely.“My alpha, may I join the other Lunas? Now that I can be formally introduced, I’d like to get a little closer to the matriarch of Eldermoon.” Viktor’s eyes widened. I could feel the subtle shift in the wolf at the possibility that his event wouldn’t go as he had planned.Dean’s fingers touched my back, pressing gently over the lace. He leaned over me, his lips brushing my ear in an intimate, warm way.“Invite Eleanor to visit our pack,” he whispered, but loud enough for Viktor and the other wolves around us to hear.

Chapter: Chapter 32: Race to the ThroneI held Gideon's gaze as other wolves approached to clean up the mess he had made. Dean held my hands and carefully pulled me away, increasing the space between Gideon and us, but the Beta quickly advanced, closing the distance even more.Gideon's sudden approach surprised me, and I was frozen for a minute—but it was enough for him to extend his hand toward me, trying to grab my arm. The glass shards crunched on the floor, and Gideon's movements seemed in slow motion as he got closer. However, Gideon barely touched my skin."What do you think you're doing, beta?" Dean growled, grabbing Gideon's wrist with such force that the wolf bent forward, his right knee hitting the ground with a hollow thud.I covered my mouth with my hands, hiding my smile of satisfaction. Yes, that was what I wanted—to see each of them on their knees, humiliated before me, paying for everything they had done. But it still felt wrong. Gideon was being forced by Dean's strength, not by desperation or humiliation.

Chapter: Chapter 138: A Song of FreedomCassian’s men took Daniel outside, throwing him into a red van. My grandfather remained completely silent the entire time, watching with a tense jaw and knuckles white from the force with which he gripped his cane. I approached, touching his cold skin with the tips of my fingers. He looked at me for a long moment and sighed, as if he were too tired, defeated.“Now I can understand,” he said in a low whisper. He covered my hand with his, giving it light pats. “This is what she was running from.”“Mom was a strong woman. She always was, even in her final moments,” I said, trying to comfort my grandfather, but he shook his head in denial.“No, my child, that’s not what I mean.” He gripped my shoulder firmly and gave me a sad smile. “What she didn’t want was for her children to get involved in this world, the way she was drawn into it. She didn’t want this life for you. Now I understand her.” My grandfather’s eyes fell to the floor covered in dried blood.We left the mansion in silence. S

Chapter: Chapter 137: Your Sentence Is…“It’s a lie. You’d never have the guts to do something like that.” I tilted my head to the side and extended my hand toward Diane. Her eyes widened as I grabbed her hair with brutal force and yanked it upward. “Let me go! That hurts!”“I took a bread knife, using a moment of carelessness when Daniel brought me food, and hid it. Liam showed up drunk, convinced I was too weak and vulnerable to defend myself.” I pulled Diane’s hair harder, exposing her neck and pressing the gun exactly where I had stabbed Liam. “Right here. The blood spread fast across the floor while he tried to cover the wounds with his hands.”“My Liam… my boy.” Diane cried, tears smearing her heavy makeup.“You know what the best part is? The idiots he bribed got so scared they set the whole place on fire, destroying every trace that I’d been there and giving me the chance to escape. I think I should thank Liam—because if it weren’t for his stupidity, I’d still be trapped in that hole.”“Kill me already! Just end it!

Chapter: Chapter 136: I KilledI tried to stand up and run, but Daniel grabbed my hair, yanking me back and throwing me to the floor, far from the front door. I fell on my shoulder, the dry thud of my body hitting the smooth floor echoing.“Daniel, please.” I tried to speak, but a hard slap across my face silenced me.My vision darkened, the cold feel of the floor against my cheek as a thin ringing echoed in my ears.“You ran from me, Lilian. From the only person who loves you in this entire world.” He grabbed my hair again, pulling me up. “You need to learn that you can’t do things like that.”“And you’re going to learn to beg for your life,” I said through gritted teeth.Daniel looked at me, raising his hand above his head, ready to deliver another slap to my face, but the only thing that happened was the sound of a gunshot. I slumped to the floor when he released me and rolled away, only to be pulled back immediately. When I lifted my face, I saw Daniel on the ground, clutching his bleeding hand while Cassian ap

Chapter: Chapter 135: Caught in the MousetrapThe first thing I did was send a message to Cassian through Maurice—the safest connection, since Harry wasn't at the mansion. Then I quickly wrote the response the Wards most wanted to hear: my desperate plea for help, where I begged for my life, repentant for having turned against them and sided with Cassian.When Maurice returned, I already had a few more messages that needed to be delivered urgently.I extended the first envelope. "This must be delivered only into my grandfather's hands; no one else can have access to the information contained in this envelope." Maurice took the paper, his expression hard and focused. I extended the second envelope. "This is for Mr. Jack Harris and only into his hands." Maurice nodded and left immediately.I knew my messages would arrive much faster than the response to the Wards, but I still felt nervous and anxious, thinking about everything that could go wrong."It's going to be okay. It has to work." I repeated those words like a prayer, interl

Chapter: Chapter 134: An Empty Room"But..." I hesitated, thinking about all the variables that could happen and put Cassian at risk. He cupped my face in his hands. The touch was rough, a bit coarse, but still comforting to me."Don't you trust me?" he asked in a low tone. I quickly shook my head, denying such a question.I covered his hands with mine, my heart racing, overflowing with so many emotions that it was difficult for me to explain them clearly, but the one that stood out the most was relief. The feeling of freedom I'd sought for so long, the sensation of finally being free. I let out a long breath, closing my eyes as I rested my head in Cassian's hands."It's not that I don't trust you. I've already seen your skills up close. What scares me is that all this might be a dream. I'm afraid of waking up in that small room, smelling of dust and mold, with Diane and Liam's screams. I'm afraid Daniel is waiting for me at the door with that fake smile and poisonous words." I opened my eyes, lifted my head, and looked

Chapter: Chapter 133: We Hooked a FishThe news slowed down over time. What was once the biggest scandal of all time became mentions of arrests, trials, and gossip. Everything calmed for several days, but Cassian was gone for days at a time, only returning to change clothes. I hadn't heard from him since the promise of our date, which left me more and more agitated.I was changing bandages on some of the injured, with Amy and Chloe helping, when my grandfather appeared. The atmosphere tensed immediately. Those with light injuries stood from their beds as a sign of respect to the man entering imposingly, even with difficulty moving and leaning on a cane.I smiled, feeling a spark of pride in my chest for how everyone still respected that old gentleman.I wiped my hands and went to him with the best forced smile I could manage."You could have called me. There was no need to come all the way here," I said while offering my arm to help him walk. The old man smiled crookedly, his eyes shining slightly."It's truly impressive,"
