Chapter 4

Author: Southern Wind
My father beamed at Adrian, not a flicker of concern for his own daughter.

"Yara didn't tell you? She's already married into the Silver Moon Pack. She begged me for it — even defied me to make it happen. You were there that day. I punished her for it."

"She was set on it. There was nothing I could do."

His tone was flat, as though the daughter he'd sent to a potentially fatal marriage was nothing more than an afterthought.

Then, as if remembering something, he smiled and pulled Vivienne forward.

    I stepped back, out of Adrian’s reach."But I don't want your love anymore.""I spent years loving you, and all it gave me was pain. I'm done. And I've found a wolf who actually loves me."Adrian stared at me, devastation written across every feature."No… Yara, you're the one who made me fall in love with you. You can't just give up on me—"Ivory almost laughed. [The audacity. When you were breaking yourself trying to earn his love — when Vivienne was tormenting you and you still refused to give up on him — he helped her punish you every single time.][And now that you've finally let go, he tells you he loves you? And accuses you of giving up on HIM?][Pathetic.]My voice was calm. "The night you took Vivienne's word over mine and had wolves drag me to a room full of lynxes — that's when we were finished.""When I was bleeding out, inches from death — where was your love then?""When you let Vivienne humiliate me in front of the entire pack — how easily you threw me away."Damien pul

    Damien sat at the edge of my bed, staring at my ashen face.His captain of the guard was briefing him. The previous Luna had left one final network of agents undiscovered — and they'd found their opening tonight to administer the wolfsbane.Damien gave a bitter laugh. She really had been relentless in trying to kill him.Then again, she'd only ever approached him to avenge her family. She'd done whatever it took to get close, and she'd never stopped trying to end his life.But she'd failed. Because his Yara had saved him.Without a moment's hesitation, Yara had offered her blood. She hadn't cared that it might cost her own life.I woke with a splitting headache and croaked, "Water…"The moment I spoke, Damien's whole face came alive. He grabbed the cup and held it to my lips himself.I forced my eyes open and found him watching me, pain etched into every line of his face."Does it still hurt?"Ivory was right. He was nothing like the rumors.The words slipped out before I could stop th

    At Adrian's signal, an enormous screen flickered to life in the center of the hall.The footage hit the crowd like a shockwave — Yara, trapped in a sealed room, surrounded by a pack of lynxes tearing into her.Wolves recoiled in horror."That's Yara! She's being attacked by lynxes!""How is that possible? A lone wolf against dozens of lynxes — even the fiercest warrior couldn't survive that!""How did lynxes get into the city? What were the guards doing?""It looks like a sealed room. Someone set this up deliberately to harm Yara."My father's face drained of color. He scrambled to explain. "This is fake — it's fabricated. My daughter is at Silver Moon right now. She couldn't have been attacked by lynxes."The words had barely left his mouth when the footage cut to a close-up — a clip the kidnappers had secretly recorded, presumably as insurance.Vivienne's face filled the screen, her voice unmistakable."I want you to lock her in with these lynxes. Give her the welcome she deserves."

    "We were going to follow your orders — just scare Yara a little. But Vivienne threatened us. She gave us a whole stash of suppressants and told us to…"Under Adrian's murderous glare, they gritted their teeth and continued."…to lock Yara in with the lynxes she'd brought. Let them tear into her. Just keep her alive."Adrian's eyes blazed green. His wolf was surging to the surface, and the wolves in front of him went white."How many suppressants did she give you to make you defy my orders?""T-twenty."Adrian almost laughed.Twenty.After reaching maturity, any unmated wolf had to endure the heat cycle alone. Yara, despite being the Alpha's biological daughter, barely received a single suppressant per year. She had no choice but to white-knuckle her way through every cycle.But Vivienne could throw twenty suppressants around like loose change — just to pay thugs to torture her own cousin.If he'd been in Yara's place, he would have done everything in his power to escape that family too

Good news — I've convinced Alpha Alaric. He's agreed to accept Vivienne. There's nothing standing between you anymore."Adrian stood frozen.He'd always believed Vivienne was the mate he wanted. But now that he had what he'd wished for, his first instinct wasn't joy.It was fear.He pulled away from Vivienne's outstretched hand and fled.Why? Why would Yara agree to marry Damien?She was h

    They blindfolded me and threw me into a dark room. Snarls echoed from every direction.Ivory tensed, her voice a low, frantic whine. [Yara, something's very wrong. I can feel danger everywhere…]Before I could react, the blindfold was ripped away.What I saw froze me in place. Cold sweat soaked through my clothes.Dozens of lynxes crouched in the dim room, surrounding me the moment I appeared — eyes locked, muscles coiled, ready to strike.Lynxes were a wolf's natural predator. They hunted lone wolves, but they never appeared in cities.Unless someone powerful enough had smuggled them in.While I was still reeling, they lunged. I shifted into battle form instantly, but I was still weak from yesterday's injuries. I was no match.My back was torn open within seconds. I collapsed.Despair crushed down on me. I'd been reborn only to die like this?Just as fangs closed around my throat, a rope lashed around my waist and yanked me out.I lay on the floor like a gutted fish — drenched in blo
