Chapter: Chapter 170Delilah's PovThe balcony overlooked the entire stretch of Velmora, its stone paths, its clustered rooftops, its towering pines brushing the sky like ancient sentinels. From here, the town looked peaceful... almost too peaceful, considering everything that had happened.I rested my hands on the cold rail, letting the wind carry away the last traces of yesterday's chaos."How does it feel to be the official Luna of Velmora?"Reyna's voice cut through my thoughts, full of mischief and curiosity. She popped up beside me, her eyes narrowed dramatically as if she were studying me for cracks.I blinked, staring ahead."I don't know. It feels surreal. It feels... like a dream? Or maybe a joke. I don't even know what to say."She nudged me with her elbow, nose wrinkling."You're going to do just fine. Anybody would die to be in your shoes."I raised a brow and glanced sideways."Would you?""Definitely not," she said immediately, placing her hand over her chest like she had been personally vi

Chapter: Chapter 159Malric's Pov The Hall of Verdict carried a silence that felt older than every brick laid in it.Its pillars stood like watchful sentinels, and the elders-robed, rigid, and grim-watched me with eyes that had judged kings before me.Caleb sat at my right.Delilah at my left.Islode hovered beside Caleb, fingers wringing together like someone already tasting fear.Everyone was settled, murmurs crawling across the hall like restless shadows.Caleb leaned closer. "Father... what is this? What happened? Why summon everyone?""We shall see," I said. Calm. Controlled.But inside, my wolf paced, baring teeth.The elders whispered to one another. High-ranking wolves frowned, uneasy. Warriors stiffened along the edges of the room, sensing the storm beneath my tone.I stood.The whispering died instantly."I know this sudden gathering seems strange," I began, my voice carrying through the chamber, "but there is an issue that has plagued both myself... and my Luna."A low ripple of murmurs follow

Chapter: Chapter 158Delilah's Pov We were still fixing each other's clothes as we walked back toward the ceremony.My legs felt like jelly, Malric's hair was messed up, and my lips were definitely too swollen for public consumption."Delilah," he whispered, laughing under his breath, "walk normally, please. Everyone will suspect."I hissed at him. "I AM walking normally. You disrupted my bones.""Disrupted?"His grin widened."Should I disrupt them again tonight?""Malric!"I smacked his chest, and he grabbed my hand and kissed my knuckles like a smug devil.By the time we made it back into the open space, music was still playing and everyone was distracted, thank the Moon Goddess. We slipped toward the tables like two teenagers who skipped school.But one person was watching us.Reyna.Her arms were crossed.Her eyebrow was raised to the sky.She looked like a mother who caught her child sneaking out at 2 a.m."Oh," she said loudly the moment we approached, "WELL, WELL, WELL..."Malric muttered, "Moon

Chapter: Chapter 157Delilah's Pov Reyna practically screamed straight into my eardrum."NO, NO, NO, NO, NO-WAIT. Is that a pimple on your face? No. You're supposed to look PERFECT today!"I jerked back. "Reyna, calm down! It's one pimple. ONE."She turned to the two women doing my makeup like a general briefing her soldiers before battle."You see that thing on her cheek? Erase it. I don't want to SEE it. I don't want to remember it existed. I don't even want the universe to know it ever happened."I put my hand over hers. "Reyna. Calm down.""No! I will not calm down. You are getting official today. The whole kingdom is going to be there. The elders, the council, the wolves, the spirits, the ancestors-EVERYBODY. You must look like the Moon Goddess carved you herself."I tried not to laugh... and failed."Reyna, you're overreacting.""I AM NOT. Everyone is stressing me out, the food, the decorations, the elders asking dumb questions, you know what, I'm coming, I'm coming- I need to check something!"She

Chapter: Chapter 156Malric's Pov Weeks had passed.Weeks since Verret's death.Weeks since Celia's.Weeks since everything shattered and somehow rebuilt itself again.The kingdom had steadied. The air no longer felt as heavy as before. People laughed again, walked freely again. Life, as it always does, found its way back to normal.Except for one thing.Delilah and I... still hadn't talked.Not properly.The silence between us wasn't angry - just full. Full of things we hadn't said, full of moments we didn't know how to begin unraveling. Everywhere I went, I felt the weight of her absence in a way that tightened my chest.So I finally told myself enough.Enough running. Enough waiting.I went straight to her chambers - empty.I checked the gardens next. Her quiet spot under the sycamore tree. And there she was... knitting."Delilah?" I called softly.She turned slightly. "Malric."I walked over and sat down behind her, close enough to feel her breath but not touch her. I didn't trust my hands not to rea

Chapter: Chapter 155Delilah's PovThree days.Three days of pretending that the clock ticking inside Verret's body wasn't winding down.Three days of laughing at his stupid jokes even when his lips trembled from weakness.Three days of eating with him in his room, watching him go pale a little more each sunrise.Three days of trying not to cry every time his fingers brushed mine.Reyna and Alyssa barely left my side. They practically bathed me themselves, fed me, changed the bandage on my stomach. The pain in my belly had completely disappeared. My strength had returned. My skin had color again.But Verret... Verret was getting worse.After bathing, I wore a clean dress and headed straight to his chamber. I expected him lying on the bed, half-asleep, forcing a smirk at me like always.But the room was empty.The blankets were tossed aside. His clothes were gone. The air felt cold.My heart dropped to my knees."What... what is this?" I whispered to no one.I grabbed a passing maid. "Where's Verret?""He

Chapter: Epilogue Cont'd Lilith’s Pov The reception hall was like something out of a fairytale, glowing with lights, soft music floating in the air, and the laughter of people who loved us surrounding every corner. The theme colors were different from the night of our engagement—today was softer, calmer. Champagne gold and ivory, with tiny flickers of rose gold details that shimmered under the chandeliers.Killian’s hand found mine as we walked in, and even though we were married now, he acted like he was still trying to win my heart. He couldn’t keep his hands off me. He kept whispering in my ear, brushing my hair back, sneaking kisses against my cheek, and making me laugh at the most inappropriate moments.“Stop it,” I whispered, swatting his chest playfully as we walked up to the high table.He leaned in again. “Nope. You’re officially mine now again. I’m not behaving.”We barely made it through the first ten minutes without being stopped by well-wishers. Family, friends, guests I didn’t even remember mee

Chapter: Epilogue Lilith’s POVIt was finally the day. And it was happening.After weeks of preparations, endless dress trials, indecisive flower choices, and Killian trying (and failing) to let me do anything alone — today was the day.Emily and Killian’s mom flitted around me like gentle butterflies as I sat in front of the vanity mirror, already dressed, already glowing.“You look so beautiful,” Killian’s mom whispered, her hands fluttering to her chest, teary-eyed.“I tell her that every day,” Emily said proudly, “She looks like a literal goddess.”I chuckled, brushing a stray curl from my cheek. “You two talk too much.”A soft knock came, and then the door opened.Killian’s father stepped in, dressed sharply in a cream suit. “Everyone’s waiting for you,” he said, and then paused, his eyes warming. “You look beautiful, my dear.”As he turned to leave, I called after him. “Hey… Richard?”“Yes?” he turned.I swallowed, my voice small. “Can I ask you for something?”“Anything.”I looked at him earnest

Chapter: Chapter 140Lilith’s PovI picked the dress carefully. One of the newer ones I’d bought, it was deep red, hugged every curve, and had a slit so high it should be illegal. The material clung to my body like a second skin. My hair was still styled perfectly from earlier, and I touched up my makeup with a subtle shimmer.As I stepped out of my room, I nearly bumped into him in the hallway.Killian froze, eyes trailing from my feet to my neck like he was studying artwork.“Holy… Lilith.”He stepped closer, slow, deliberate. His hand found my waist as he dipped his head and kissed me—slow, passionate, like he needed to remind the walls that I was his.God, I could never get enough of this man.The kiss lingered, deepened, pulled me in until my hands were resting on his chest and my body leaned into his like a magnetic force.We finally broke apart, breathless.“You look…” he paused, eyes still devouring me, “unreal. Like if I blink, you might disappear.”I smiled, heat rushing to my cheeks. “You’re tu

Chapter: Chapter 139Lilith’s Pov The past month has honestly been… the best phase of my life. I’m walking again…fully. No more cane, no more therapy appointments. My body feels like mine again. I’ve been painting nonstop. Commissions, gallery pieces, even custom portraits. I’m making actual income from something I love, something that makes me feel alive. And then there’s Killian. God. Killian. We’ve probably had sex over a thousand times this month, I’m not even exaggerating. Okay… maybe I am, just a little. But seriously, we can’t keep our hands off each other. We’re like magnets. At home, in the car, sometimes even in his office when I bring him lunch. It’s ridiculous… and addicting. Every time he touches me, I melt. Every time he looks at me like I’m the only woman in the world, I fall harder. I thought the spark would fade, but no. If anything, it’s growing stronger every damn day. But today was girls’ day. Finally. Emily, Polly, Bianca, Rose, Maya and I had been planning a full girls’ spa

Chapter: Chapter 138Killian’s Pov“Do you want me to do something for you?” I asked quietly, leaning against the edge of the door.Lilith turned toward me, eyes glistening but unreadable. “No,” she said softly. “I just want you to stay with me. Do you have a problem with that?”I blinked. “No. I don’t have a problem staying with you.” My voice dropped. “I’ll stay with you all day, all night, if that’s what you want.”She gave me a small nod. “Okay.”It felt like a simple moment, but it was not. Not for me. Everything inside me was tangled up. My thoughts, my emotions, my instincts. I didn’t know what to do or say next, and yet… being near her, I didn’t want to leave.So I just walked in and sat down on the edge of her bed.It was quiet.She was looking at me. I could feel her eyes on me like heat on my skin. But I didn’t dare look at her yet, I didn’t want to push, or make her feel pressured. Everything she’d been through, everything she just remembered… it was a lot.Then I heard the soft rustle of clot

He hadn’t changed it.Of course he hadn’t.The door opened with a low groan, and I stepped inside, the smell of sandalwood and cedarwood clinging to the air like ghosts.Everything looked the same.Exactly the same.Too much the same.The sofa I once curled up on when I was crying.The table I once placed sketches on.The hallway I once walked down in.I felt like I was walking through a museum of my own heartbreak.Then I saw him.Nolan.He stood in the doorway of the living room, dressed in a sleek black shirt, a glass of wine in one hand, like he had been waiting—expecting—me.He smiled. That smile. The one that had once made me feel seen. Now, it just made my skin crawl.“To what do I owe this lovely surprise, my sweet love?” he asked smoothly. “Have you finally come to your senses and re

Chapter: Epilogue Aurora’s Pov I wanted to die of secondhand embarrassment. Alphas were supposed to be dignified, strong, and composed. Ryan? Ryan was screaming like a lunatic, making a scene in front of the entire hospital. The pain hit me harder, and I let out a sharp breath. Immediately, nurses rushed over with a hospital bed. Ryan ran beside me, putting on hospital gloves like he was about to deliver the baby. “I’m here for you, Aurora,” he said, his voice shaking. “I’m here.” The doctor arrived, a middle-aged man with a calm demeanor. “How are you feeling?” I barely had the energy to glare at him. “Like I want to poop.” Ryan’s eyes widened in horror. “WHAT?!” The doctor chuckled. “That means the baby is coming. Alright, Aurora, I’m going to need you to push.” I nodded, gripping Ryan’s hand as the nurses positioned me. “Keep your legs straight,” the doctor instructed. Ryan’s eyes darkened. “Why are you looking at my wife like that?” The doctor looked confused. “Because I’m delivering h

I spun around so fast I nearly dislocated something. My heart lurched into my throat as I bolted into the living room.“What happened? What happened? Are you okay? Who do I need to kill?”Aurora was standing there, eyes wide, hands gripping her stomach. Then she looked up at me and said the words that completely short-circuited my brain.“My water just broke.”I blinked. “What does that mean?”She gave me a look. “Ryan.”“What water? Did you spill something? Are you thirsty?” I was already turning back toward the kitchen, my brain refusing to process.She groaned and pointed at her belly. “THE BABY IS COMING.”My entire soul left my body.“The baby is coming?!” My voice hit a pitch I didn’t know I was capable of. “Like RIGHT NOW?!”Aurora, the love of my life, the mother of my unborn child, had the au

But before we continue, I want to ask everyone in this room a question.”A murmur rippled through the council as they exchanged glances.“Go ahead,” one of the elders finally said.I turned, my eyes sweeping across every single person in the room. My voice was steady, unwavering.“Who is the moon goddess now?”Silence hung for a moment before, in unison, the room responded.“You are.”I shifted my gaze to Ziani. “And who is the leader now?”Her jaw tightened, but she didn’t hesitate. “You are.”A slow smile formed on my lips. “Then I make the rules.”The moment those words left my mouth, the room erupted into chaos.“I might not know everything about the Moon Goddess yet,” I continued over their voices, “but I will learn it in no time.

I had thought I was ready for this, that I was prepared to do whatever it took to protect what was mine, but as I stared at her lifeless form, all I felt was a deep, aching sorrow.This was never how I wanted it to be.The weight of everything crashed down on me all at once. My limbs trembled, and suddenly, the pain that had been numbed by adrenaline surged back, searing through my body like fire. My legs gave out.I barely registered the panicked voices around me before I hit the ground.Elliot, Caleb, and Ryan rushed toward me, their faces etched with worry.“I’m fine,” I muttered, though the pounding in my head and the sharp sting in my wounds said otherwise. “I’m just… just hot a little.”Ryan crouched beside me, his jaw clenched. “Hot a little? You’re burning up,” he snapped. His hands hovered over me as if he was afraid to touch me, afraid that I might

The crowd gathered, eyes locked on us, their whispers barely audible over the howling wind. I rolled my shoulders, cracking my knuckles, and took slow steps forward, never breaking eye contact with Aurora.She stood across from me, her body battered, her clothes stained with blood and dirt. Weakness radiated from her, yet she still held her chin high, defiance burning in her eyes.Pathetic."You should have stayed down when you had the chance," I sneered, my claws extending, itching to sink into her flesh. "This is your last warning, Aurora. Step aside and let me have what’s mine."She wiped blood from the corner of her mouth and spat onto the dirt. "Ryan was never yours, Karen. And he never will be."That was all I needed.With a growl, I lunged at her, my claws swiping toward her throat. She barely dodged, rolling to the side before springing to her feet.The fight had begun.The moment our bodies collided aga

I watched them whisper about her, pray for her, cry for her. Aurora. Aurora. Aurora.Her name was on everyone’s lips, like she was some kind of savior.It was pathetic.She had actually left to break the curse, to throw herself into the jaws of death, and for what? Love? How foolish.I had given Ryan everything. My love, my loyalty, my soul. And still, he had chosen her. But I told myself it wasn’t over. I told myself I had time. That if I played my cards right, I could get him back.Then today happened.The mansion was alive with excitement. People were gathering. And when I saw what they were looking at, who they were looking at, my blood boiled.Aurora was back.She had survived.And I knew, at that moment, that if I didn’t act now, I would lose everything forever.So, I stepped into the mansion.Nobody stopped me.

His Bloodstained Bride
Revenge was all she had left.
After years of torment, Raven emerged from the ashes of her past. No longer a helpless girl, but a deadly predator. A single bite turned her into something more, something powerful, and she vowed to make men like her abusers pay. Abused, broken, and left for dead, she clawed her way back by becoming a predator herself, throwing men into her bed, only to end their lives before sunrise. No man could touch her. No man could own her.
Until one night, she met him.
Alessio Rossi. A man who is powerful, dangerous, and a ruthless Alpha. But when Raven tried to kill him, she failed. Worse, he spared her. Unknowingly, he was her mate.
Now, trapped in a bond she never wanted, Raven’s world is thrown into chaos. She hated the idea of men, and yet, she had no choice but to accept the mate bond. Alessio, too, despised the idea of a Luna, yet they are forced to stay together for a certain period of time before they can part ways.
In the midst of their hatred, a dark obsession festers. Claire, a manipulative wolf who is dangerously obsessed with Alessio, will stop at nothing to drive a wedge between them. In a world where love is forbidden and hatred runs deep, Raven must face the truth: Some bonds can’t be broken. And some desires are impossible to resist.

Chapter: Chapter 46Raven’s PovIt had been a long walk.Since there was no mobile technology in Silvercrest—no cars, no phones, no hint of civilization—I couldn’t help asking, “Why don’t you people just, I don’t know, join the modern world and import a few gadgets? Just a suggestion.”Alessio didn’t even break stride. “Because then we wouldn’t be unified anymore. Technology divides. And I won’t have my pack scattered. Neither do they. We’re not trying to go extinct, Raven.”Fair point. But still…“The car is waiting on the other side,” he added.“What if I get tired before we get there?” I mumbled.“I’ll carry you,” he said so casually, like it was already a done deal.That made me stop. “What makes you think I’d let you carry me?”He took a step closer. His eyes sparkled with that infuriating glint. “You don’t have to agree.”“Oh no. No, no—don’t even think about it!” I warned, stepping back. “We’re outside!”“Yes,” he said simply, “and everyone should know you’re my queen.”And just like that, he swep

What makes you think I’d ever let that happen?”“You don’t have to get all worked up,” he said, leaning back like this was a joke to him. “If I didn’t think you were going to work with me or if my plan didn’t matter—I wouldn’t even bother saying it.”“So your plan,” I scoffed, “is to spend quality time resisting the urge to sleep with me, make me fall for you, and then what? Dump me?”“Not all men are like that,” he said calmly, eyes fixed on mine. “I don’t know what men have done to you that you won’t tell me about, but… not everyone is the monster you think they are.”“Whatever,” I muttered, stabbing a piece of food with my fork. “I’m never falling in love with any man. Especially not you.”He raised an eyebrow. “Why do you have a particular problem with me?”“I don’t have a proble

So the least I can do is hold you anytime I want. You know what? Come with me.”He dropped his arm and took my hand instead, tugging me forward.I resisted. “Where are you taking me? You don’t get to just take me somewhere—”“I don’t get to?” Alessio turned to me with an expression between mock hurt and mild amusement. “Why do you keep saying that? I don’t get to kiss you, I don’t get to touch you, I don’t get to take you anywhere. Raven, we agreed,

Every nerve, every instinct, was on high alert, but my body—traitorous, eager, betraying me in the worst way—was already moving on its own. I found myself pulling closer to Alessio even as he closed the distance between us, his hands pressing against the curve of my waist like he had every right to hold me there. We melted into each other, like heat meeting gasoline.And then I moaned.A real, unfiltered sound escaped my lips, raw and aching for more. I hated that I wanted this. I hated how good it felt.Before I knew it, we were no longer standing. I didn’t even remember how we got to the bed. My back was against the mattress, Alessio’s body pressing into mine, his mouth on my neck, branding me with every slow, deliberate kiss. His lips traveled lower, and my breath caught in my throat. My fingers dug into his shoulders as my body burned.But just as his touch dipped past the edge of reason, something snapped inside me.“Stop,” I gaspe

Because that woman doesn’t just redefine the word, she eats it for breakfast and spits it back in your face like it means nothing.It’s been two fucking days. Two days of watching her pale, unconscious body lie in that damn bed without a single twitch. And yes, the healer said she’d wake up on her own accord. “Give it time, Alpha,” she said. “She’s strong.”Yeah, strong and stupid. Who the hell poisons themselves as part of an escape plan? What made her think that kind of risk was worth it?I ran my hand through my hair and let out a frustrated breath. I haven’t slept properly. I haven’t eaten properly.

I started making small talk with her when I could, soft, seemingly casual questions that I layered with smiles I didn’t mean. I had a plan.
