The Alpha’s Hidden Mate
Seventeen-year-old Jade Sullivan has spent her life carrying the weight of her father's disgrace. Once the respected Beta of the powerful Silverwood Pack, her father was exiled after devastating gambling debts brought shame to his position. Abandoned by him and shunned by the pack, Jade and her mother were left to survive as unranked wolves at the bottom of the social hierarchy.
While Jade struggles to escape her family's tarnished reputation, twenty-year-old Devin Hunter, heir to the Alpha bloodline, is preparing for his future leadership. Like everyone in Silverwood Pack, Devin assumes he will eventually be mated to Sabrina Carter, the beautiful daughter of the Gamma family and sister of his best friend, Todd. Sabrina has spent years preparing to become Luna, and the entire pack expects their union.
But in Silverwood Pack, the mate bond doesn't awaken until a wolf turns eighteen.
As Jade's eighteenth birthday approaches, strange changes begin within her wolf, and old secrets surrounding her father's exile start resurfacing. Then, during her birthday celebration, fate shatters everyone's expectations when the Moon Goddess reveals Devin's true mate.
Jade.
Suddenly, the outcast no one wanted becomes the future Alpha's destined Luna.
As Sabrina's jealousy turns dangerous and the pack questions whether a disgraced wolf is worthy of standing beside their future Alpha, Jade discovers evidence suggesting her father's downfall was not what it seemed. With enemies closing in and buried betrayals coming to light, Jade and Devin must decide whether they can trust each other enough to uncover the truth.
Because the secrets hidden within Silverwood Pack could destroy more than a mating bond, they could tear the entire pack apart.

Chapter: The Scent in the Forest Chapter 12The Scent in the ForestThe moment Jade's expression changed, Devin knew she remembered something.The room went silent.Every eye fixed on her.Jade looked startled by the attention.As though she wasn't used to having a room full of ranked wolves waiting for her answer.Which, Devin realized, she probably wasn't.Rowan took a step forward."What is it?"Jade swallowed."Three mornings ago, during training."Garrett immediately straightened."You saw someone?""No."She shook her head."I caught a scent."The room grew even quieter."A wolf scent?" Knox asked.Jade nodded."At the time I thought it was a traveler passing near the territory line."Devin frowned.Travelers rarely wandered that close.Not without being noticed."Why didn't you report it?" Marcus asked.The question carried more judgment than curiosity.Jade's shoulders stiffened instantly.The reactio

Chapter: InterruptedChapter 11InterruptedThe lanterns grew fewer as Jade followed Ryker away from the festival grounds.For the first time in three days, the noise of the celebration faded behind them.Music became distant.Laughter softened.The forest reclaimed its silence.A small clearing overlooked a stream a short walk from the main grounds. Someone had hung several lanterns from low tree branches years ago, leaving the spot warm and inviting despite the darkness.Ryker pulled out a chair that had clearly been stolen from somewhere.Jade stared."Did you steal furniture?""It sounds much worse when you say it like that.""How else should I say it?"He considered."Heroically borrowed."Jade laughed."You're impossible.""I've heard that.""You should listen more closely."His grin widened.The dinner itself was simple.Bread.Roasted venison.Fresh fruit.Nothing extravagant.Yet it felt nicer than anything Jade could remember.Maybe because neither of them was trying to impress the other.For on

Chapter: Under The LanternsChapter 10Under the LanternsThe final evening of the festival should have been relaxing.Instead, Devin felt trapped.Not physically.Politically.The large dining hall beside the Alpha House had been reserved for ranked wolves, visiting dignitaries, elders, and honored guests. Long wooden tables filled the room, covered with roasted meats, fresh bread, seasonal vegetables, and enough desserts to feed half the pack twice over.At the head table sat the leaders of both packs.Alpha Rowan Hunter occupied the center seat beside Luna Eleanor Hunter.To Rowan's right sat Beta Garrett Hayes, Silverwood's trusted second-in-command.Gamma Marcus Carter sat nearby, looking entirely too pleased about Silverwood maintaining a narrow lead over Blackthorn in the festival rankings.Across from them sat Alpha Gideon Blackthorn and Luna Vivienne Blackthorn.Vivienne possessed the kind of effortless warmth that put wolves at ease within minutes.

Chapter: A Different Kind of VictoryChapter 9A Different Kind of VictoryJade woke to laughter drifting through the open cottage window.For a brief moment, she forgot where she was.Then the sounds of the festival reached her.Music.Voices.Celebration.The final day of the Full Moon Festival had arrived.And for the first time in years, Jade found herself looking forward to it."You're smiling."Jade looked up from her breakfast.Her mother was watching her from across the kitchen table."I am not.""You are.""I'm eating.""You smiled into your tea."Jade groaned.Her mother laughed.The sound filled the small cottage."You've had a good festival."It wasn't a question.Jade couldn't deny it.Despite Sabrina's occasional comments.Despite the whispers.Despite everything.The festival had been good.Better than expected.Mostly because she'd spent so much of it with Liam.And Ryker.The realization made her pause.Three days ago, Ryker had been a stranger.Now she caught herself looking for him in crowds.Wondering

Chapter: CompetitionChapter 8 Competition Devin had always loved competition. Not because he enjoyed winning. Though he did. Not because he liked proving himself. Though that was certainly part of it. He loved competition because it stripped away excuses. Rank didn't matter. Politics didn't matter. Reputation didn't matter. The field, the target, the finish line, the opponent. Those things told the truth. And today, the truth would belong to whoever earned it. The second day of the Full Moon Festival dawned bright and cool. By sunrise, wolves were already gathering near the competition grounds. Rows of benches surrounded the central field. Banners from both Silverwood and Blackthorn fluttered overhead. Children darted through the crowd while vendors set up food stalls and elders settled in to watch the events. The excitement was contagious. Even Devin felt it. Beside him, Todd stretched his shoulders. "Tell me again why we agreed to participate in every event."

Chapter: Unexpected CompanyChapter 7Unexpected CompanyThe festival had officially started.Which meant Jade had spent most of the evening carrying things.Tables.Lanterns.Crates.Food supplies.At some point she was fairly certain someone had handed her a task simply because she happened to be walking past.Not that she minded.Keeping busy was easier than standing around while the rest of the pack celebrated.Besides, the festival grounds looked beautiful.Hundreds of lanterns glowed beneath the trees.Music drifted through the forest.For one night, Silverwood felt less divided.Less judgmental.Less cruel.Almost like a real community."Jade! Catch!"She barely had time to react before Liam tossed a wooden crate toward her.She caught it with a grunt."What is wrong with you?""I had my hands full.""You literally threw a box at me.""You caught it.""That isn't the point."Liam looked unconvinced."I feel like it's exactly the point."Jade sighed.There was no winning these conversations.The two of the
