LOGINShe designed the coded trade routes that built his empire. But when her mother took the fall for her crimes, Liora buried her identity and became the pack's forgotten daughter. Betrayed by her first love and sold to a feral monster to clear her family's debt, she faces Alpha Cassian—the legendary Beast of Moonstone. A military genius trapped in his savage wolf form. A monster so dangerous he's already terrified two brides away. But the beast isn't feral. He's been waiting for her. Cassian knows exactly who she is—the spy who helped poison him—and he married her for one reason: to trap his enemy. He thinks she's a pawn. She's convinced she can outmaneuver him. Two enemies. One altar. A game of deception where losing means death. When the truth finally tears through their dangerous marriage, who will destroy whom?
View MoreCassian's POV The doors swung open, and I rose from my chair. Alpha Harrington entered the sitting room like a man who owned every space he walked into—which, to be fair, he did. He was older than me by at least two decades, his dark hair streaked with silver, his face weathered by years of leadership and the burdens that came with it. But his eyes were sharp, calculating, the eyes of a man who had spent his entire life navigating the treacherous waters of pack politics. "Cassian," he said, his voice deep and commanding. "It's been too long." "Alpha Harrington." I inclined my head, the gesture respectful but not submissive. "Thank you for hosting us on such short notice." Harrington waved a hand dismissively. "Nonsense. You're always welcome here. Though I must admit, I was surprised when you requested this meeting. You're not usually one for social calls." "This isn't a social call." I gestured toward Liora, who had risen to stand beside me. "Allow me to introduce my Luna. Lior
Liora’s POVI watched Vivienne's face crumble.It was a beautiful thing to witness. The way her smile froze, then cracked, then shattered completely. The way her blue eyes widened with shock, then narrowed with something that looked dangerously close to rage. The way her perfectly manicured hands curled into fists at her sides.For a moment, she just stared at us, her mouth opening and closing like a fish gasping for air."Your... Luna?" she finally managed, her voice thin and reedy.Cassian didn't even flinch. "Yes. My Luna.""But—but you can't—" Vivienne sputtered, her composure crumbling. "You're supposed to be with me! We're supposed to be together! You promised me, Cassian! You promised!"I felt my eyebrows rise. Promised her? That was news to me.Cassian's expression didn't change. "I promised you nothing, Vivienne. I gave you everything I had. I tried to make it work. But you—" He paused, his jaw tightening. "You threw it all away.""Threw it away?" She laughed, a high, brittle
Cassian’s POVThe rain hammered against the roof of the jeep as we rolled to a stop at the Harrington border.I sat in the back seat, my eyes fixed on the window, watching the two guards approach through the downpour. They were armed, their expressions suspicious, their hands resting on the weapons at their belts. The driver rolled down his window, letting in a gust of cold, wet air."State your business," one of the guards demanded.The driver held up the Moonstone seal—a silver disc engraved with the pack's crest. "Alpha Cassian of Moonstone, here for a scheduled meeting with Alpha Harrington."The guard studied the seal for a long moment, then nodded to his companion. The gates swung open, and the driver rolled up the window.I let out a slow breath.The tension in my shoulders didn't ease. It never did when I was away from my territory. There was too much at stake—too many enemies who would love nothing more than to see me fall.And now I had another vulnerability.I glanced at Li
Liora’s POVI raised an eyebrow. "Adequate?""Perhaps more than adequate." He stepped closer, his eyes never leaving mine. "The dress is... acceptable."I felt a smile tug at my lips. "You're terrible at compliments.""I'm not complimenting you. I'm simply stating facts." But his eyes were still roving over me, lingering on the curve of my neck, the swell of my lips, the way the silk clung to my hips."Of course." I tilted my head, meeting his gaze with a challenge. "And what facts are you stating?""That the dress is... effective. It will serve its purpose.""What purpose is that?"He stepped closer, his presence filling the space between us. "To make Vivienne realize…" His lips curved into that infuriating smirk. "and understand, in no uncertain terms, that she never stood a chance."My breath caught in my throat.He's doing it again. Turning everything into a game."So you're using me to make your ex jealous," I said flatly. "How charming.""I'm using you to make my ex miserable,"
