ELISSE

Alaric stepped closer, gripping my chin firmly and forcing me to meet his gaze.

He said, “it’s suspicious that the alpha’s scent clings to you. Are you really that desperate to steal my sister’s mate?”

“What? No! That’s not true!” I denied his accusation.

“Tricks like this have been used for years, Elisse. Trying to take someone else’s mate by offering yourself. I never thought you were this low. Don’t expect a light punishment, this is disgraceful.”

"He's my mate not Selena's."

“You really are just like your late mother, a damn whore. We barely tolerate a whore’s daughter in this pack. If we were truly merciless, you’d have been wiped out long ago.”

“Don’t you dare bring my mother into this.”

“Oh, why not? She stole my uncle from his true mate, and now look at you ... doing the exact same thing to my sister.”

“My mother didn’t choose that! Fate binds mates, given by the Moon Goddess herself!”

He laughed coldly, eyes full of contempt. “Fate, huh? And I suppose fate can be twisted and bought with lies and seduction, just like you, trying to snatch my sister’s mate right under her nose. Hoping he’d reject her for you.”

“You have no idea what you’re talking about.”

He smirked cruelly and jabbed his finger against my forehead. “Oh, I know exactly how women like you work.”

Without another word, he spun on his heel and strode toward the door. “Take her down to the room. We’ll prepare the trial.”

His men grabbed my arms with iron grips. No matter how much I struggled, I was no match for them. Physically, I was weak compared to these elite pack warriors.

Alaric glanced back at me, a cold, ruthless gleam in his eyes. Quietly, almost mocking, he said, “And, Men ... enjoy her while we get the trial ready.”

His words slammed into me like a punch to the gut. I gasped, burning with disbelief and rage. “What the hell are you talking about?!”

“You’re already marked by Alpha Dravenhall. Might as well add another scent to your skin. Let’s see if that alpha still wants you after.”

“I’m family, your cousin! How can you be so heartless? At least wait for Alpha Dravenhall to explain.”

“Explain? Nobody gives a damn. My sister’s mate is one in a million. You? You’re worthless. You’ll never have someone like him.”

“You’ll regret this,” I spat. “Alpha Dravenhall will tear you apart for what you’re doing to me! He must be able to feel the pain I’m going through because of you."

He laughed, sneering. “Oh, I’m shaking in my boots. Truth is, I think he will thank us for keeping the cheap girl away from his true mate ... my sister.”

"Just—"

"Shut up, enjoy free time while we prepare the trial ... locked up with two of our strongest warriors.”

"NO!"

"Don’t act so innocent, you’ve already been caught being a whore.”

He didn’t wait for me to say anything. He just turned around and walked away, his loud laughter echoed in my ears.

I always knew he was ruthless, but I never imagined he could be this merciless.

“Alaric!” I screamed, struggling harder. “Alaric! Don't do this! Alaric!”

They dragged me off, grinning with savage delight. Their eyes promised nothing but pain. My throat tightened, nausea creeping up as anger and fear churned inside me.

I lashed out. Kicking. Hitting—desperate.

“Let me go!”

They ignored me, pulling me faster toward whatever nightmare awaited.

I had to come up with a plan to escape before they could lay a hand on me. No one got to touch me, but my mate.

Besides, I refused to accept how they treated me earlier. Did they really think they could get away with humiliating and pushing me around like that?

Now, I knew my true mate was Dario Dravenhall, the strongest Alpha in this territory. All I had to do was make sure he’d avenge me later.

    ELISSEI slipped into the main room, the journal still pressed tight against me. My fingers itched to open it, to finally see what secrets Dario’s grandfather had left behind.The leather creaked when I lifted the cover'Stop.'Sera’s voice snapped sharp inside me, restless. My chest tightened as her unease bled into me. My gaze was dragged, almost unwillingly, to the side window.'We’re being watched again.'I stared through the glass into the trees swaying in the pale daylight. The world outside seemed too still, shadows bending where they shouldn’t.I shoved the window open and vaulted through. My feet struck the grass with a muted thud, and I broke into a run toward the side forest."Luna!"The shout cracked behind me. Gerrard. The warrior stationed out front. He’d seen me."Luna—wait!" His voice thundered as heavy steps gave chase. "Luna!"Guilt tangled in my chest. What was I even doing? Running like prey in broad daylight?I had no time to speak to Gerrard, no time to explain.

    ELISSEJohnny arrived with another man he introduced as Gerrard, one of the pack warriors. Instead of keeping watch inside the house, they stayed stationed at the front door.That was when it hit me. I wasn’t being protected. I was being guarded like a prisoner in my own home.But, it didn’t matter. I belonged to their Alpha, and their Alpha was mine.I turned to head upstairs, but at the end of the hall I caught sight of Johnny. He was walking away, not even pretending to care that I was watching.'Follow him, Elisse. He’s hiding something.' Sera’s voice whispered sharp inside my chest, and I agreed. Dario wasn’t here. Who knew Johnny was taking advantage of that?I moved quietly, keeping my distance, careful not to let the floor betray me.At the end of the long corridor stood an old door, heavy wood carved with strange patterns on either side. This house was centuries old, and here, it showed.Johnny slipped inside.I hesitated only a moment before pushing the door open.The stair

    ELISSEOnce again, I woke to an empty bed.Dario was gone.I slipped out of the sheets and padded barefoot through the silent house until I found him in the kitchen, of all places. And, he was… frying eggs?Strange. The house was usually alive with servants, yet I felt no one’s presence here but his.I brushed off the strange silence in the house and crept up behind him. With a quick jump, I clung to his back, arms looped around his neck like a mischievous little lizard. “Good Moooorrniiingggg~”He didn’t even flinch, still focused on the eggs sizzling in the pan. I could feel it, the restless beat of his heart.I leaned in and bit his neck, just enough to make him turn his head with a sigh.“Easy, little beast. I’m making you breakfast," he said.“I didn’t know you could fry eggs.”“I can also grill meat for us. I’m starving... starving enough I could eat you, too.”I tightened my hold on him, biting into his neck again. My tongue tracing the tense muscles beneath his skin. I let ou

    ELISSEI woke from a heavy sleep to a sound I couldn’t place.The room was dark, but moonlight slipped through the white curtains, painting everything in silver.My body ached, every muscle sore, every joint stiff. What happened hours ago had been wild. Too wild.I turned my head, and there he was, the man who left me trembling, now sleeping peacefully. His bare chest lay exposed above the blanket, and heat rushed through me again. Desire.Out of nowhere, a strange whisper brushed against my ear:'You belong to me. How dare you share yourself with a false mate?'I froze. My heart lurched. That voice— male, unfamiliar, but deep enough to crawl into my bones. I bolted upright, scanning the room. Nothing.Who?Was I imagining things?No. I had heard it. Clear. Lurid. Possessive.There was no strange scent in the air, no trace of another wolf. If there had been, Dario would have already woken, ready to kill. He was still fast asleep beside me.I pressed a trembling hand to my chest. “Wh

    ELISSE I shoved Dario down onto the bed, a growl curling in my throat as instinct burned hot beneath my skin. Before he could recover, I straddled his hips, my nails dragging down his chest through his shirt. The look in his eyes—half fury, half hunger—only fueled the fire raging in my veins. I could hear Sera growing restless in my head, aroused by the sight of our mate. “Careful, Pupcake …” His voice rumbled low, dangerous, vibrating straight through my bones. “You bare your teeth at me, you’d better be ready for the bite back.” Instead of retreating, I leaned down and crushed my lips to his, hard and bruising. My tongue demanded entry, desperate, and he groaned into me, the sound raw and guttural. I smirked against him, biting down on the side of his neck, tasting the salt of his skin. “Fuck…” he hissed. His eyes flared gold, his wolf straining against control. “Stop biting unless you want my teeth buried in your throat too.” I rocked my hips harder against him,

    DARIO'He is dangerous, Dario.'My wolf had kept whispering inside my head, as though it was ready to tear apart the rogue tied before me.Johnny and the others had managed to capture one of the rogues roaming within our territory.Ever since the Moonlight Ball, this uneasy feeling hadn’t left me. Why did it feel like there were more and more of them every day?I stared at the man—the rogue—bloodied and restrained against a tree. He glared back at me with the wild, bloodthirsty look of a starving beast.“Alpha, these past few days the number of rogues at our borders has been increasing,” Johnny reported, standing at my side.I scanned the forest around us. Silence spread between the trees, but my instincts screamed that danger lingered close.“I knew it,” I muttered. “It must have been connected to what happened at the Moonlight Ball.”“They looked like they were gathering, united for something."“I knew. I could feel it too.”“This was strange. Before this, they had never dared to ap
