LOGINAt eighteen, Ashley’s world crumbles. Her parents give her legacy to a perfect impostor. Her mate, Jason, accuses her of witchcraft and rejects her in front of the entire pack. Branded a poisoner and thrown into slavery, Ashley endures three months of brutal torment. When Jason—the very mate who condemned her—finally returns, it isn’t to save her. It’s to drain her blood… to save the girl who stole her life. Even her family agrees. But Ashley refuses to die for them. She rejects Jason, chooses herself—and pays for it with her life. Only death doesn’t keep her. Resurrected by a mysterious and dangerous man, Ashley becomes a weapon in a war she never asked to fight. Her enemies believe she’s returned for revenge. Her family fears her. Her former mate regrets her. But Ashley isn’t here to play their game. Her wolf finally awakens, so does her purpose: She is the chosen guardian—destined to reshape everything. Will she reclaim the pack that destroyed her? Or carve a new future—one forged in fire, betrayal, and blood?
View MoreASHLEYI didn't know how long had passed or what day it was. I couldn't even tell what the weather was and how beautiful it looked. Ever since I was taken, all I could see was darkness. Total darkness. My eyes were covered with some sort of blindfold.I leaned against the wall I had managed to find a few seconds ago, breathing in and out, trying not to make any sound so my captors wouldn't come in. I had even stopped making sounds. The first time I was brought into this place, separating me from Kael, I had screamed for help, but all I ever received was cruel laughter. Nothing else.No one had even moved to help me, even attend to my needs. I believed I was left in here to wither away as she had promised.Maria.I twisted my hands behind me several times, groaning as the rope used dug deep into my skin. I swallowed, wincing at the sour taste in my mouth, my ears perking up as I heard sounds, and I fell back to the position I was in, no moving.The door opened, and my breath hitched;
JASONTWO DAYS LATERThe great hall was packed with guests. We had done the necessary ritual, and now it was time to exchange vows that'd finally bind us together.But I wasn't interested in what the Elder was saying one bit. My mind had been off since the ritual began. I was staring at the entrance of the great hall, hoping to see Ashley, but of all the guests that had arrived, she wasn't among them.Not even her scent was anywhere in the room to be able to tell she was hiding somewhere or not.That wasn't all; weirdly, I hadn't seen Ashley since two days ago. I asked her parents and Maria, but no one was saying anything meaningful to me.Maria told me Ashley was indoors and wanted to be alone, while her father only just shrugged and sometimes gave the same narrative as Maria. Yet, I believed something was wrong. But I couldn't say they were lying. I had no evidence.Besides, it would be weird if I went searching for her myself. I had thought of doing that, but decided to let it go d
JASONI glared at where my father had sat. He left the room after he was done dropping the canon. My head still reeled from what he had said.I couldn't possibly go on with what he had said. I didn't want to fucking mate with Maria. I had no fucking feelings for her. But for tradition's sake.Damned the fucking tradition. I couldn't escape it. I shut my eyes, dragging in a deep breath, and I opened them as a familiar scent wafted into my nose.It was foul, and it made vomit surge up my throat—Maria’s scent.‘She's here!’ My wolf growled, claws out, threatening to rip itself out of me to charge at her. ‘She should not be here. She isn't our mate!’I grunted, suppressing it. ‘Leave her alone.’‘Why?’ My wolf retorted. ‘Why do you keep entertaining her when she isn't ours? Who knows what evil she has already committed before she came in here? We don't like her scent. She shouldn't be here!’‘Stop it!’ I slammed down the voice of my voice.It wasn't Maria’s fault. It was the rule. No matt
ASHLEY“I stole from you?” I asked incredulously. “Why would I want to do that? You are still the alpha heir, whereas I am nobody. You are getting married to Maria. If there's one person who should be complaining right now, it should be me!” I flung at him.Why would he suddenly say such silly things that made no sense? Could he continue with his ridiculous narrative of me deceiving him and stealing from him? That was one thing I had never done. He was the one who had hurt me over again without thinking about how I felt.Jason laughed out loud. He held his stomach as he did.I bite my lips, about to shout at him again for laughing at my misfortune, but Kael's grip on me stops me from doing so.“I don't have much time to live, Ashley,” he whispered. His voice had gotten even weaker, and his lips were turning blue.“What are you talking about? I told you I won't let you die. I'm going to make sure you return to the clinic,” I vowed, staring at my hands that were now stained with his blo
ASHLEY“You look tense,” Zane's voice broke me out of my thoughts.He must have mistaken my flinching earlier for being that way.I said nothing. It was partly the truth anyway because I had wanted to walk to clear my thoughts until his appearance.“How about going hunting?” he suggested out of the

ASHLEYPain.It was the first thing I felt—sharp, intense, deep and all consuming.Every breath I took, every turn I made and the twitch of my limbs and every beat of my heart.I swallowed.I never expected to survive what I had gone through in the forest. The crack of the whip as it came down my ba
ASHLEYThe storm had subsided but the one in my heart still raged on. I had kissed Jason and I had been caught. Saying I was appalled by the situation was an understatement of the century.“Tell us what happened.” My father said,Heaving a breath, Maria turned to me, her eyes burning with anger and
