LOGINAfter being betrayed and publicly humiliated by her Alpha fiancé, Alara is cast out of the only home she has ever known. Stripped of her title, her future, and her place within the pack, she flees into the wilderness—broken, banished, and utterly alone. But Alara carries a secret even she doesn’t yet know: she is pregnant with the child of the mysterious stranger who rescued her on the night her world collapsed. That stranger is Xavier—the ruthless, feared, and all-powerful Lycan King—whose life has been consumed by a single, maddening obsession: finding his fated mate. For years he has scoured realms, torn through territories, and chased whispers of her scent, driven by an instinct he can no longer ignore. What he doesn’t know is that the woman he’s been desperately searching for is the very one fate has already placed in his arms… and bound to him far more deeply than either can imagine.
View MoreAlara's POVBeing a mother had taught me many things. I knew how to survive entirely sleepless nights, and how to remain perfectly calm when a five-year-old Lucian had opened a raw shadow gateway in the middle of the palace corridor simply because he wanted to find me. I knew how to stop a young Artemis from accidentally healing half the royal staff whenever she tapped into a new aspect of her Crescent powers.I had learned how to smile right through my deepest fears. Because if motherhood had taught me one universal truth, it was that children never truly realize how much their parents worry.Xavier stood before the shattered western section of the training arena, silent and still. Below us, the physical damage was already being repaired. Stonemasons worked tirelessly to clear the rubble, warriors hauled away broken pillars, and servants whispered frantically amongst themselves. The masonry would be fixed within days. The whispers, however, would linger much longer.I joined my hus
Selena's POVThe silence that followed was entirely different. The suffocating tension evaporated, leaving behind something profoundly honest and entirely unshielded. Slowly, deliberately, Lucian walked back to the edge of the bed. He stopped right beside me, close enough that I could see the dark circles under his eyes. He clearly hadn't slept a wink."You shouldn't give me that kind of power," he murmured, though there was no heat in it. "It's dangerous."I smiled up at him. "Too late. The decision's been made."His shoulders sagged, a look of utter defeat washing over his face, though the ghost of a relief pulled at his features. "I will never understand you.""Join the club," I laughed softly.For the first time since I’d opened my eyes, the faint corner of his mouth twitched upward. It wasn't a full smile, but it was a victory nonetheless."Aha!" I pointed a finger at him accusingly. "You almost smiled. I saw it."He instantly schooled his features back into a stony glare. "I hav
Selena's POVMy eyelids felt heavy as I slowly forced them open, staring up at the intricately carved wooden ceiling of the palace healer’s chambers. The sharp, clean scent of crushed herbs and medicinal salves hung thick in the air. Every time I tried to shift, a dull, throbbing ache flared beneath the crisp white bandages tightly wrapped around my shoulder, a physical reminder that the chaos of the previous afternoon hadn't been an absurd dream.Fragments of the training incident replayed relentlessly behind my eyes. The sudden, erratic trajectory of the wooden practice blade. The sickening thud as it collided with my collarbone. The ground rushing up to meet me. And then... the absolute madness that followed.I had never seen him like that. Not even close. That wasn't the composed, calculating prince the court whispered about in hushed tones. It wasn't the quiet boy who spent hours hiding away in the dusty corners of the palace library, nor was it the fiercely sarcastic companion I
Artemis's POVThe temperature in the arena plummeted so fast that my breath hitched, turning to white mist in the air. One moment I was casually watching the training rotation, and the next, the bright midday sun was choked out as the entire valley plunged into pitch-black darkness.Terrified gasps and shouting erupted from every corner of the gallery.Down below, the shadows were exploding outward from Lucian in a violent, terrifying, and utterly uncontrolled storm of dark mass. It was exactly like the training accident that had occurred weeks ago, but this was exponentially worse. The darkness didn't just pool around his feet; it raged."Lucian!" His name tore from my throat before I could stop it, but the sound was swallowed by the roaring wind generated by his power.Chaos descended upon the training grounds. The darkness swallowed the stone floor and the sand pits like a living, predatory ocean. Experienced warriors stumbled backward in panic, their nocturnal vision useless again
