Chapter: Where I Never BelongedAbby’s POV Derek hesitated, but eventually agreed to take me to the hospital Alex would have taken Hayden to. I suspected it would be Blackthorn Pack Hospital, the closest one. Every other human or pack hospital was far from here.Jessica joined us. She sat in the back with me, patting me softly, saying nothing.Before we left, Derek turned sharply to his men in the second car.“Embalm Luna Marie’s body,” he ordered, his voice hard. “And lock the criminals up. No one leaves until we return.”The car pulled away.The drive felt endless, my mind replaying everything over and over again. If someone had ever told me Freya would do this to me—tear my life apart so completely before it even had a chance to begin—I would have called it a lie worthy of execution.My emotions collided and twisted until I could barely breathe.In a single breath, I had lost my mother without ever getting the chance to vent my anger at her for abandoning me all those years because I refused to shift. She never

Chapter: Moon’s Call GraceAbby’s POVMy whole body froze as I watched his body collapse to the ground, blood still spilling from his mouth.“Hay… Hayd—”The sound broke apart on my tongue as his hands went limp at his sides, his eyes finally closing.Something inside me shattered.I couldn’t move. Couldn’t scream. My lungs burned as terror I had never known wrapped around me, locking me in place.Freya’s wicked laughter rang out, but it never reached me. My eyes stayed fixed on Hayden’s still body, my limbs trembling violently beneath my skin.“Why, Freya?” Valentina cried weakly. “I didn’t ask you to kill him!”Blood stained her clothes as she swayed, barely standing.“So sad it had to end this way,” Freya said, her gaze sliding to me. “You're next.” She lifted her knife.I didn’t move. I didn’t blink.But far worse than the night Derek stabbed Hayden in the basement, worse than the moment my body had exploded and sent Derek and his men flying—this was something else entirely.This wasn’t just an explosion.I

Chapter: The SacrificeAbby’s POV Luna Marie!” Freya barked, shock cracking her voice. “What the hell are you doing here?”“Freya…” Mother’s voice trembled as she stepped forward. “What are you doing? She's your sister!”Valentina moved instantly, blocking her path. “I don’t have patience for your family drama,” she snapped. “End this, Freya. Now.”Freya turned to Mother, her expression hardening. “I’m sorry, Luna Marie. This isn’t something you get to meddle in.”Then she faced me again, lifting the blade.“No!” Mother snarled. Her claws slid out, fangs bared as she lunged toward Valentina. Valentina didn’t even flinch.“Stay back, old wolf,” she warned coldly.Their clash drew Freya’s attention for half a second, and I seized it.Carla, I called desperately again.Silence.Bitterness rose in my chest, sharp and burning. Had she abandoned me too?Then…“I’m here,” Carla’s voice finally broke through. “Hayden is close. I’ve been communicating with Rey.”My heart jolted.Relief tangled with dread. He was c

Chapter: A Sister’s BetrayalAbby’s POVI woke with a sharp gasp, only for panic to slam into me.My hands were tied behind the chair. My ankles too. Thick rope bit into my skin. I tried to scream, but a gag muffled the sound, reducing it to a broken whimper.The place reeked of dust and decay. Cobwebs clung to the walls, thick and undisturbed, as if no one had stepped foot here in years.It was clearly an abandoned building.My heart thundered as I twisted, scanning the room for Freya. But she wasn't here. Panic shot through me, cold and vicious. Where is she? Had they taken her somewhere else? Had they hurt her?I struggled harder, the ropes burning into my wrists, but the more I fought, the more pain bloomed. I was only hurting myself.Carla, I called desperately in my mind.Nothing. I reached again, and this time, only emptiness answered me.My stomach sank, realising I was alone.Then footsteps echoed, slow and deliberate. Valentina strutted into the room like she owned it, her heels clicking against the con

Chapter: The LureAbby’s POV When I asked Carla what kind of healing power I possessed, she only gave me a name. Moon’s Call Grace.I had heard of it before, somewhere in the old legends, but the details slipped through my mind like smoke.When I pressed for more, she refused.“We must train more,” Carla said firmly. “Your power needs to awaken fully before you understand it.”And just like that, the question slipped away from me.The next morning, I trained again at dawn before getting ready for the restaurant. My muscles ached, but my mind refused to rest.Where was Hayden?I called his number for what felt like the hundredth time.Still voicemail.I called Alex next, but he hadn’t heard from him either.I told myself not to panic, but unease settled deep in my chest. I couldn’t stop linking the terrible thing Carla said she sensed to Hayden.We couldn’t afford to take this lightly anymore. What if something had happened to him while we were distracted by everything else?Too many what ifs crowded

Chapter: Abby in DangerHayden’s POV I played her voicemail.“Hayden, where the hell are you? Abort whatever stupid mission you’re on.”My chest sank at the sound of her voice. It was filled with anger, the kind I deserved but beneath it lingered something else, something I wasn’t brave enough to name.“And if you’ve already done it…” There was a pause. “I’ll be the first to kill you.”A tired smile tugged at my lips as I squeezed my eyes shut.“I deserved worse,” I murmured to no one.“Hayden, is everything alright?” Jessica asked, watching me closely. “You’ve been… off. Getting drunk, being easily drugged...”She hesitated. “Did something happen between you and Abby?”“It’s nothing,” I said, shutting the door on the subject. I couldn’t bring myself to talk about it. Pride and ego had blinded me to her warnings too, and now the weight of my failure pressed on my chest, guilt clawing at me from the inside.I dialed Abby’s number, my heart hammering. If she was going to shout at me, I was ready—but please, d

The Lycan King's Luna Healer
He slid his hands to my lower back, pressing me to his solid chest. “Do you have any mark on your body?” he whispered, his warm breath brushing against my ear.
My heart thudded—not only from his nearness, but from his question. I still didn’t know what the mark meant. “No,” I lied.
****
The night Emily Harpar is meant to shift, grief swallows her wolf, leaving behind only a faint crescent mark burned into her skin.
Raised and mistreated in the kitchens of a powerful beta family, Emily loses everything—her mother, her dignity, and the mate who rejects her. Branded disgraced, she is sold into slavery… and claimed by the most dangerous ruler of all.
Damian Stone, the feared Lycan King, is dying. Poisoned and sustained by a heart transplant, his human soul lies dormant while his ruthless lycan spirit, Malric, controls his body. With only three full moons before madness consumes him, Malric must find the Luna Healer marked by a crescent moon.
Time is running out, and the mate he can’t resist is hiding the very mark that could save him. If the truth is discovered, she will be killed. If he chooses her, he will lose everything.

Chapter: Under His GripEmily's POV I'd frowned when a knock woke me up from my sleep. It wasn't even the time to go make the king’s food, so I'd wondered who could be at the door.Malric stood there, dressed in his all-black training gear.“Get dressed. You’re training with me now,” he stated.I hesitated, thinking of Theodore’s warning. Training with him again didn’t feel wise, but Malric didn’t give me the chance. He stepped in uninvited, moving past me as if the room already belonged to him.Well. He owned the castle.“How long are you planning to stand there?” he scolded.“I think you’re too strong to train someone like me. I’d rather train with… maybe one of the warriors,” I said, watching his broad shoulders as he strolled slowly through my room, inspecting nothing in particular.“You’re not allowed to train with anyone else,” he said casually, not even pausing.“I'm not…” He didn’t let me finish. He closed the distance in a blink, his hands sliding to my waist and pulling me against his solid chest

Chapter: A Stubborn HeartMalric's POV“I really don’t want any of this anymore”Her words stuck in my skull, echoing long after she’d said them.I didn’t know how many times I would have to remind her she was terrible at lying. But something in the way she said it made me hold back.Something didn’t sit right. She hadn’t looked like this after what we shared this morning. And when I replayed every moment in my head, nothing I’d done seemed extreme enough to provoke such a shift.I glanced at the tiny, stubborn creature sitting rigidly beside me. Her gaze was fixed on the window, watching the world blur past as the car moved. Quiet and likewise tensed.She sneezed twice in quick succession.I pulled a handkerchief from my jacket. “Here.”She shook her head and sneezed again into her hands.I didn’t wait. I caught her chin and wiped her nose before she could protest, but she jerked back anyway.The flash of outrage in those striking blue eyes almost made me huff.“Clean yourself,” I said, pushing the cloth into

Chapter: I Want This to StopEmily's POV There was a weight in his eyes, a quiet tension I couldn’t name. I wasn’t even sure it was meant for me.Malric must have noticed it too, because his voice softened slightly when he spoke.“You found her now. You shouldn’t keep living in regret.”Theodore gave a small nod, blinking as though forcing something back behind his eyes. “She’s no longer allergic to almonds. And I can’t help imagining the kind of life she must have lived… to survive by eating what once could have killed her.”My brows knit. Who were they talking about? Sharina or someone else? I focused on my meal, trying to follow the conversation. Malric placed the juice the maid had brought in front of me, but his attention never fully left Theodore.“Sharina’s been strong since she was a pup. I’m glad she survived.”Theodore’s slow nod carried a weight I couldn’t name. “I only wish her peace now, my king. I can’t fail her again.”Malric gave a brief nod. “She deserves it. I'll also make sure of it.” He sipp

Chapter: A Silent WarningEmily’s POV “Beta Theodore. Is there any problem?” I asked, my hands resting on the open door.“Could we speak for a moment?” His tone was clipped.“Sure.” I nodded, stepping out fully to meet him.He inhaled sharply, arms akimbo as if choosing his words with care. Then he exhaled again.“I trust you’re aware the King has a future queen.”The words struck like a quiet blow. My fingers tightened slightly on the edge of the door as I held my gaze steady. “Yes,” I said. “I’m aware.”“Good,” he nodded once. “Then I don’t have to say much. The woman the Lycan King intends to crown is my daughter.”My stomach dipped. I stood there like a statue, heat rising to my face as the realization dawned on me.Theodore… was Sharina’s father?I was still trying to absorb that when his next words threw me off balance.“I can smell His Majesty’s scent on you. Proof enough of what had happened between you overnight.”His gaze lingered a moment too long, and I suddenly felt stripped bare, especially wit

Chapter: Morning HeatEmily’s POV Warmth.That was the first thing I noticed when I woke up. Not from the pale morning light slipping through the glass doors… but him.My back rested against his chest, his arm draped over my waist, heavy, possessive, as though even in sleep he refused to loosen his hold on me. Each slow breath he took brushed softly against the nape of my neck, warm and steady, stirring a faint shiver along my skin.For a moment, I didn’t move. I just listened to his deep breathing. The terrifying lycan king… asleep like this. Quiet. Peaceful.Memories from last night crept in without mercy. Heat curled low in my stomach, and my hips shifted slightly against the mattress before I could stop them. The small movement made me realize just how deeply every muscle between my thighs ached.A slow pulse of soreness throbbed through my core. My hand drifted downward on instinct, fingers trembling as they brushed the sensitive skin there…“Mmm…” I bit the sharp sting back quickly, not wanting to w

Chapter: The Edge of HelplessnessMalric’s POVI was stunned to discover my little fire had never been touched before. The realization undid something inside me completely. And yet, beneath that shock, anger thumped immediately in my chest. Anger at myself for touching her at all, knowing the situation with the Luna healer I was meant to bond with.Still… one thing was certain above all else.I wanted to protect her with my life. I wanted to make her happy, no matter what it cost me.Her small back pressed into my chest, and it took every shred of restraint not to mark her as mine. Even so, I couldn’t resist leaving my scent on her…for her safety… and to warn off any tomcat who might dare think to touch what wasn’t his.I had taken countless women before, but none had ever affected me like this. None had ever undone me the way she did.And still, I craved more.My hardened length pressed against her backside, and her soft whimper only made my control strain further. That sound did something dangerous to me. I wanted i
