A SECOND CHANCE FOR BULLIED LUNA
“I don't understand,” I tell Viktor, desperately. “I don't know why the bond is still there. I accepted his rejection, I don't want him, I want you. Whatever yearnings you saw between us, is not by choice. You are my mate. I choose you.”
“Then why is the bind still present?” he snaps as he turns from me.
“I don't know! And frankly, I don't care! I haven't cared or thought about Dominic in nearly a decade. How can I prove that you are the one I love?” I ask as I take hold of his hands, hoping that he sees my sincerity.
“Have the ceremony with me.”
“What?!”
“The mating ceremony, where we bind ourselves to each other. Let's do it. That is the only way I can relax. Be mine. Truly, mine.”
Rowan Blaze, abused and maltreated in her former pack and after being rejected and left to die by her Alpha finds a second chance as a rogue.
Now known as the Winter Wolf, and leader of the largest rogue coalition, with a renowned dislike for packs, fate offers her another chance at love in the form of Alpha Viktor Thorn, a renowned man known for his wicked intelligence and stubborn persona.
How do these two stubborn individuals react to this opportunity? Are they capable of letting their walls down and giving life one more chance? And what of Dominic Valor? Is he capable of letting go of his rejected mate or would he do anything to right the wrong he made years ago?

Chapter: CHAPTER 141: OKAY. THE END FOR REAL.ROWAN“Mummy looks like a princess!”I laugh at the remark as I stand in front of the full-length mirror, fingers trailing over the delicate fabric of my mating dress. The soft white folds cling to my body like a second skin, flowing down in elegant waves to pool around my feet. The intricate gold embroidery along the bodice and hem catches the soft light, making it glimmer like stars across a night sky. The dress is modeled after ancient Greek designs, and yet it feels uniquely mine, as if it were made for this exact moment. Which it was.“You are right,” Lisa tells Jhenells as she adjusts the waist, while Rina’s fussing over my hair, placing small white flowers into the delicate braids. “But a queen instead. You are the princess.”Kaylee stands off to the side, smiling at me like she already knows what I am thinking.“You look... perfect, Rowan,” she says softly, her eyes filled with warmth. “Viktor won’t know what hit him.”I let out a small laugh, a nervous tremble in my chest

Chapter: CHAPTER 140: THE ENDDOMINIC The world narrows down to just Viktor and me, as it was always going to be. This fight has been a long time comingHis eyes burn into mine from below, and I snarl down at him from the balcony. All the noise, all the chaos around us fades into nothing. Just him. Just me. My pulse thunders in my ears as I leap from the ledge, muscles coiling, ready to tear him apart.In mid-air, the change rips through me. Bones snap, skin stretches, and fur bursts from my skin. The transformation into my wolf form is savage, overwhelming. And in the space of a heartbeat, I am no longer a man but a beast. I barely register Viktor doing the same, his massive body surging upward to meet mine.We collide like thunder.Teeth flash, claws slash, fur and flesh tear. I drive him to the ground, snarling, biting, desperate to tear out his throat. But he fights back just as viciously, his teeth sinking into my shoulder with a brutal snap. The pain is white-hot, but I don’t feel it. Not really.

Chapter: CHAPTER 139: SHOW DOWN.DOMINICThe fight surrounds me the moment I step into the clearing, chaos, mouse, bloodshed, everything swallowing up the night. Wolves… mone and outsiders…they are everywhere. It is impossible to tell who is who at first, just teeth, fur, and blood under the slivers of moonlight. They… Viktor and Rowan, they were ready for us. That much I expected, but what I didn’t count on was the sheer number of them.I should have been warned. I should have seen this coming. But no one told me. Not even Calvin.I can see Viktor and Rowan through the mayhem, cutting through my wolves like they knew every move we would make. Like someone had informed them of my protocols When I find who that fucking traitor is, he or she would wish their parents had never met.How the hell did they get so close? I wonder as my pulse quickens with anger, as I push through the bloodied mess to get to them.But then I see the others- Maxwell, Fin, Sven, Kaylee and her weakling husband, Donald. Traitors.Wha

Chapter: Chapter 138: BEGINNING OF THE ENDDOMINIC“Let me out! I hate you!”Jhenelle’s voice rings out again, shrill and desperate, making the fragile peace I had hoped for, to be nothing more than a dream Her words slam into me, causing a visceral reaction that surprises even meHer small fists bang against the door, over and over, relentless. Each hit feels like a direct assault on my patience. She doesn’t understand. No.She refuses to understand. I stand just outside the door, my hands pressed against my temples, trying to drown out her cries. But no matter how hard I press, her voice breaks through, each shout like a blade carving away at my restraint. I have given her everything, more than Rowan ever could, more than anyone could. A life free from struggle, safety, power, a future in her rightful place by my side.As the future Alpha of the obsidian pack.What more could she possibly want?Why does she keep rejecting me? Why does she keep fighting me like this?“Jhenelle, stop!” I snap, but my voice is lost bene

Chapter: CHAPTER 137: RALLYROWAN They say the truth always finds a way to come out.And that is better you let it come from your own mouth than anotherI just hope that is true.Especially now.The tension in the air is so thick, I can almost taste it. This the first time the settlement has been this packed, with wolves from all over have gathered, and it is like the entire place is holding its breath, waiting for an explosion. Their eyes are on me, waiting for answers. You can differentiate my wolves from the others.They are angry, confused, a little scared because of the foreign pack wolves but more than anything, they are restless. Dominic has crossed a line, touched their little wolf and they want blood.The other wolves are just curious about why they have been summoned and are waiting for an explanationIt is Kaylee that first steps forward first, her mate, Donald, right behind her.“What are we doing here, Rowan?” She asks, her voice cutting through the low murmurs of the other wolves. “You have e

Chapter: CHAPTER 136: BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBTROWAN SLAM!The door to my study bursts open, crashing against the wall with a force that sends a shudder through the room, making me whirl around, heart racing only to see Alden dragging a trembling wolf behind him. A familiar wolf.Martin.One of the deserters.Oh, I knew it!I knew I shouldn't have accepted these scums into the Coalition Martin's face is ashen, his eyes wide with panic, darting around the room like a trapped animal. I stand abruptly, my chair scraping against the floor. "Alden, what is this?" My voice is steady, but there is a hint of rage that I can't hide.Alden says nothing at first, simply steps aside to let two others enter. A young woman and a young man, both wolves from the obsidian pack, step forward. Their faces are tense, their eyes locked on me.Lisa, who had been sitting quietly in the corner, rises to her feet, her eyes narrowing as she takes in the scene. Viktor, standing by the window, moves closer, his presence commanding the room while Rina

Chapter: THE AFTERMATH OF FIREDAMIEN'S POV The hall is so bright it almost hurts my eyes. Spotlights burn against marble walls, cameras flash in every direction, the murmur of a thousand voices swells and dips like waves hitting the shore. It’s chaos disguised as order—journalists in their suits, investors with their fake smiles, leaders trying to look calm while already calculating the profit of standing here tonight.But none of them matter.Because at the center of it all, she stands.Alina.No mask, no disguise. Not Kaia, not an assistant tucked behind Vivian’s shadow. Her.Her hair pulled back, her shoulders set straight, her chin lifted in that way that dares anyone to question if she belongs. The cameras love her, but they don’t know the half of it. They see poise. I see the scars under her dress, the ones only I stitched back together on a night soaked with blood. They see confidence. I see the quiet tremor of her hand she thinks no one notices when she grips the podium. They see victory. I see the war st

Chapter: THE PLACE WHERE I BURIED MYSELFALINA’S POV The graveyard is smaller than I remember it to be. Or maybe it is me that is bigger now, or harder, or just older in ways that can’t be measured. The iron gate groans when I push it open, and I freeze halfway through, my hand still clutching the rusted bar like I need permission to go in. Nobody answers. Just the wind dragging across the stone markers, rattling the branches overhead.I step inside. Gravel crunches under my boots. Each step feels heavy, deliberate, like walking into a courtroom where the verdict is already carved in stone.I know exactly where the grave is. I have never needed a map. My body remembers it the way my lungs remember how to breathe. Left at the crooked tree, past the angel statue missing a hand, three rows down.Besides my parents graves There.My grave.Alina Rivers. Beloved daughter and a shining bright star. Taken too soon.I kneel. My fingers trace the grooves of my name, cold and unyielding. Whoever chose those words, probably my aunt L

Chapter: THE GHOST MADE FLESHNATHANIEL POVThe cell is cold. Not the kind of cold you feel on your skin, but the kind that crawls into your bones, like it is laughing at you. Mocking you. Whispering that it is never going away. I sit on the hard bench, cuffs digging into my wrists, staring at the little TV bolted high in the corner.The same footage runs over and over. My face. My voice. My own words, leaked, replayed, dissected by anchors who can’t hide their smug satisfaction. “Direct orders… foundation collapse… bribery trail…” My empire burning on loop, and every station is feeding off it like vultures.The camera angle shifts, Elena’s face, tight and furious, being shoved into a black car. My mother, indicted, her name crawling across the bottom of the screen in red. “Elena Cross formally charged in bribery scandal.”CROSS FAMILY: BAD SEEDS ALL AROUNDA SCANDAL FOR THE AGES: CROSS FAMILY SECRETS ROTTING GOLD: THE SECRETS OF THE CROSS FAMILY On and on it goes.Then Sasha.

Chapter: THE BURIAL THAT FAILEDNATHANIEL'S POV The call comes while I’m in the middle of tearing apart my home office. Papers everywhere, glass shattered on the floor. My secretary’s voice is trembling, like she knows I’m seconds away from snapping.“What?!”“Mr. Cross… I am sorry to bother you but I just got a call and the shareholders are having a meeting and they want to see you there.”“What? Who ordered that?!““I… I don't know. I just got the call.”I freeze. My pulse kicks hard. The shareholders haven’t dared summon me since the chaos started, since the stock nosedived, since the press turned every headline into a personal crucifixion. If they’re calling me in now, something’s shifted. Either I have got one last shot to fix this… or they are about to cut me out“Where is the meeting?”“In the boardroom. Now.”I straighten my jacket, even though it’s wrinkled from hours of pacing. My tie hangs loose around my neck. I don’t fix it. Let them see me like this. They should remember who I am. I grab my keys and m

Chapter: THE CROWN AND THE CHAINSELENA'S POVThe folder lands on the table with a dull thud, the sound echoing off the concrete walls. My eyes snap to it, the thin manila edges so ordinary, so harmless-looking, yet something in the way she slides it toward me makes my stomach twist.I don’t touch it. I don’t move.“What’s this supposed to be?” I ask, my voice rasping. I hate how raw it sounds, how cornered.Kaia doesn’t sit. She stands across from me, her hands braced on the metal table, her eyes fixed on me with that cold, steady look I’ve only ever seen once before, when she was staring at Nathaniel the night of the wedding dinner. The night she realized she’d married into blood instead of silk.She tilts her chin toward the folder. “Everything.”I let out a laugh. It’s too high, too sharp, it cracks halfway out of my throat. “Everything? Please. I’ve seen everything. I built everything. That’s just paper.”Her gaze doesn’t move. Doesn’t even blink. “Open it.”I don’t want to. Oh help me, I don’t want to. But the s

Chapter: The Ghost in the FleshThe pounding drags me out of sleep like someone’s hammering inside my skull. My eyes snap open, the room still thick with shadows. For a moment I think I’ve dreamed it, but then it comes again,.three sharp blows that rattle the frame of my bedroom door.I look over to the clock in my desk and see it is past 3.In the fucking night.I lie there, waiting for one of the maids to answer. No footsteps. No hushed voices. Nothing.Of course. They’re gone. Every last one of them.My jaw locks as I push myself up, the silk sheets twisting around my legs. The house is too quiet, hollow in a way it never used to be. All the staff ran after the papers hit, after my name was dragged through every gutter in the city. They didn’t just leave, they looted. My grandmother’s comb. The diamond brooch. Even the loose cash I kept tucked in the desk drawer. Filthy ingrates. Years of feeding them, clothing them, protecting them and the first whiff of smoke, they bolt.My throat burns. Rage hits before the fe
