ALPHA'S DARK PAYMENT. HE REJECTED HER. HIS WOLF CHOSE HER.
“Say it.”
Elara’s throat tightened.
“I belong to you,” she whispered.
Alpha Kane Blackthorn’s gaze remained cold.
“Do you understand what that means?”
After her father, Beta Draven, is exposed as a traitor responsible for unimaginable crimes, Elara loses everything overnight. Her name. Her freedom. Her place in the Blood Moon Pack.
As punishment for her father’s sins, she is taken to the Alpha’s palace and placed under Kane Blackthorn’s control.
The ruthless Alpha is known for his unforgiving heart and his hatred for betrayal. To him, mercy is a weakness, and love is a distraction.
Elara should hate him.
She should fear him.
But the closer she gets to the man who holds her fate in his hands, the more she realizes there is more behind his cold eyes than cruelty.
Because the Alpha who claims she is nothing but a punishment may be the same man destiny chose for her.
And when the truth about their bond is revealed, Kane must choose between the throne he protects and the woman fate placed in his path.
He rejected her.
But his wolf chose her.

Chapter: Chapter 105*********---"Oh, Moon Goddess..." Lizzy sighed dreamily as she looked up at the sky. "I love nights like this. A full moon always makes everything feel magical."She linked her arm through Elara's."There's no festival tonight, and I refuse to spend such a beautiful evening indoors." She grinned. "What do you say we have a midnight picnic? Maybe we can even convince Princess Selene to join us."Elara didn't answer.She kept walking quietly, her eyes fixed on the path ahead.Lizzy's smile slowly faded.She turned to study her friend's face."Hey..."Elara looked at her."Are you okay?"A small smile appeared on Elara's lips, but it never reached her eyes."I'm fine, Liz."Lizzy frowned.She didn't look fine.Not even close.Before she could press further, Mira caught up with them."There you two are," she said with a laugh. "I've been looking everywhere for you."The three of them continued down the stone pathway together.Suddenly, everyone around them stepped aside."His Majesty."

Chapter: Chapter 104Elara swallowed, searching his face, trying to understand why he was looking at her that way.There was no anger.No disappointment.Only an emotion she couldn't name.Kane's gaze lingered on the bruise on her cheek before dropping to the cut on her swollen lip.His jaw tightened."Does it hurt?"The question was so unexpected that Elara blinked."...My Lord?""I asked if it hurts."Elara stared at him, unable to answer.Had she heard him correctly?He was... asking about her?"I..." she stammered. "I'm fine.""You call this fine?"His voice hardened slightly.Without thinking, he reached toward her.Elara instinctively flinched.Her movement was small...Barely noticeable.But Kane saw it.His hand froze in midair.For a moment, neither of them moved.Something inside his chest twisted painfully.She was afraid he was going to hit her.Slowly, Kane lowered his hand."I wasn't going to hurt you," he sighed, a hint of sadness in his voice.Elara immediately lowered her head."I'm sorry

Chapter: Chapter 103★ ALPHA KANE'S OFFICE ★The heavy wooden doors closed behind Elara with a soft click.The sound echoed through the office, making her flinch.For a long moment, she didn't move.Her hands were clasped tightly in front of her, her fingers trembling so badly that she had to curl them into her palms to hide it.The office was enormous.Tall windows stretched from floor to ceiling, allowing the afternoon sun to spill across the polished marble floor. Shelves lined the walls, filled with old books, scrolls, and records that had belonged to generations of Blackthorn Alphas. A fire crackled quietly in the fireplace despite the warm weather, filling the room with the comforting scent of cedarwood.Normally, the room would have felt peaceful.Today, those walls felt less like an office and more like a prison.Elara kept her eyes fixed on the floor.She didn't dare look up.She could feel him.Alpha Kane stood several feet away with his back to her, staring out the window overlooking the palace

Chapter: Chapter 102The chamber fell silent after Kane's final words."...to punish."Anika stared at him, stunned.For a moment, she wondered if she'd heard him correctly."Your Majesty..." she began carefully. "She is only a servant. She destroyed your late mother's heirloom.""I know exactly what she destroyed."Kane's voice was calm, but it carried enough authority to make the room feel colder."I also know that you exceeded your authority."Anika's brows drew together."I was protecting the Blackthorn family's honor.""You were venting your anger, Anika," Kane snapped.His words landed like a slap.Anika's face turned pale."I only did what I thought was right."Kane met her eyes without a trace of emotion."You thought wrong."Silence stretched between them.Anika had known Kane for years. He was stern, demanding, and rarely questioned when it came to discipline. And she knew how much he cherished his late mother's heirloom.But today...Today, he was different."You will not lay another hand on he

Chapter: Chapter 101★TRAINING GROUNDS★Without warning, the sharp crack of splintering wood echoed across the training grounds.Warriors sparred in pairs while younger recruits lined the edges of the field, watching and waiting for their turn.In the center stood Alpha Kane.His chest rose and fell with measured breaths as he faced a row of thick wooden training posts.Without warning, a sharp cracking sound echoed across the training grounds.His fist slammed into the first post.The heavy timber split straight down the middle before crashing onto the dirt.No one moved.The warriors exchanged uneasy glances.Kane stepped toward the next post.His expression remained cold.Unreadable.He struck again.Bang!Another post snapped.Then another.And another.Wood splintered across the ground until four broken posts lay scattered around him.Still, the pressure inside him refused to ease.Inside his mind, Tyrant prowled restlessly.You are angry because she cried.Kane ignored him.He rolled his shoulders a

Chapter: Chapter 100NEXT MORNING (COUNCIL CHAMBER)The council chamber fell silent the moment Alpha Kane walked in.Every elder rose to their feet in respect before taking their seats again.Luciano leaned against one of the stone pillars with his arms crossed, watching Kane carefully.His friend hadn't looked like himself since the feast.He looked exhausted.Like a man fighting a battle no one else could see.Kane remained standing at the head of the long table."I called this meeting because I owe you all an explanation."The elders exchanged curious glances.Elder Marcus was the first to speak."Your Majesty... we assumed last night's feast was arranged so you could finally choose a Luna.""It wasn't," Kane said flatly.His answer was short and firm.The room fell quiet.Another elder frowned."Then why gather every noble daughter in the palace?"Kane's expression remained cold and unreadable."The Shadowfall Shaman told me fate had already brought my fated mate into my life."A ripple of surprise sw
