LOGIN“I want you to ruin me. To fuck me like nothing else matters.” Zoriana’s breath hitched, the air in her lungs turning to ice as she stared into the darkened eyes of the man pinning her against the warehouse door. Outside, the pack’s founding day celebration was a blur of music and laughter, but in the shadows, there was only the scent of rain and the dangerous heat radiating off Alpha Tristan. “You’re mated to my brother, Zoriana,” he growled, his voice a dark, jagged rasp against her ear. His mouth brushed her pulse point, sending a shiver of pure, traitorous electricity through her blood. “Do you have any idea what I’ll do to you if I stop being a gentleman?” Zoriana didn't care about the crown, didn't care about the Royal bond or the destiny written in the stars. She arched her back, her nails grazing the hard muscle of his shoulders as she pulled him closer. “Then stop being a gentleman, Tristan. Show me the monster everyone says you are.” *** Zoriana’s world shattered overnight when her mate’s betrayal turned her from a beloved Luna into a rogue. She did not break. Rising from the ashes, Zoriana founded her pack and built an empire that shook the very foundations of the shifter kingdoms. The higher she rises, the deeper she is trapped in a web of deadly intrigues and twisted truths. Zoriana is caught between the Royal Alpha she is sworn to support and his ruthless brother—a devilish enemy who ignites a forbidden, soul-searing desire she cannot control. In a world of poisoned blood and lethal lies, Zoriana must choose: the crown she fought for, or the man who could be her undoing?

View MoreAella’s and Mounia’s mating ceremonies had passed, and today, everyone was gathered for Zoriana’s. It hadn't been an easy month for her. She had been running ragged between the Morning Star and Iron Heart packs, working tirelessly to help restore order to the shattered realm. Many elders had suggested merging the two packs into one massive territory, but Zoriana resisted the idea, and Tristan had supported her choice completely.Instead, the past month had been entirely about duties, pack logistics, and mating—lots and lots of mating.They had just finished the formal ritual, and Zoriana had slipped away to refresh her makeup. Now, she stood in front of the mirror, staring at the fresh mating mark on her neck. It felt incredibly surreal to realize that just a few months ago, she had been standing in front of a mirror in the Silver Moonlight pack, anxiously waiting for Ryder’s arrival. Back then, she could never have foreseen his betrayal, the loss of her home, or her eventual rise fr
“My apologies, Your Majesty,” Zoriana spoke up, breaking the brief silence. “You mentioned earlier that mating issues should be discussed outside of this room. But there is something I simply can not wait to address.”Gael huffed in deep annoyance. He fully expected Zoriana to bring up his engagement to Flavia, and he had already endured enough drama today—the last thing he wanted was a screaming match between his fiancée and his fated mate.“Zoriana, please leave this for another day,” he started, his voice strained. “We’ve had enough—”Zoriana cut him off cleanly. “I won't waste anyone’s time. I will be extremely quick. I, Zoriana Roux, Alpha of the Morning Star pack, reject you, Crown Prince and Alpha heir of the Royal Pack, Gael Castellari, as my mate and Alpha.”A sudden, sharp pain surged through her chest. It was powerful, but she found it bearable. Across the table, Gael’s face twisted in agony, and he clutched his heart, gasping for air.
Zoriana continued, her voice echoing coldly through the room. “Beta Karel, that makes adultery, murder, and attempted murder. That is already enough to warrant three separate executions... but there is more. We also have a high-level conspiracy.”“Shut up, you fucking bitch!” Karel snapped, his face turning crimson with fury. “Don’t try to play smart. You’re just some little whore playing a pretend game of spy. I—”A guard hit him hard across the face, cutting him off, and Karel spat blood onto the floor.“Beta Karel, silence, or we will be forced to silence you permanently,” the King barked. Karel glared at the floor but remained quiet, still desperately hoping he could find a way out of the accusations.“Beta Karel believed that his official position as Royal Beta was under threat as long as Crown Prince Gael could not be officially declared King,” Zoriana explained. Pausing, she glanced around the table. “The claim of Alpha Tristan to the thron
“And why is this little... who-... she-wolf present at the meeting?” Queen Calista asked, pointing at Fairuza with unmasked disgust.“We are uncovering traitors today, so she is part of the narrative,” Zoriana replied flatly.“Traitors? I thought we only had one,” Gael smirked, casting a dark look toward his brother. “Or is Fairuza his accomplice?” he snorted.“You will know everything in due course, Your Highness,” Zoriana said, taking a sharp breath.“Let the show begin,” Kalina beamed ecstatically in her mind. Zoriana didn't entirely share her wolf's joy; she was still anxious that things could go south at any moment.Forcing her chin up, she squared her shoulders. When she spoke, her voice was loud, clear, and commanding total authority.“First, I have a confession to make. A few months ago, Prince Gael appointed me as a Royal Advisor. However, my true mission was not to help prepare for rogue attacks. It was to uncover the traitors within this realm. Today is the day the wolves w
The she-wolf jumped to her feet, extending a hand to Zoriana. “My name is Fairuza. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Alpha Zoriana. Your reputation precedes you; I hope we can become friends. Why don't you join us for Tristan’s break?”Zoriana shook Fairuza's warm hand, her mind racing. "Just Fairuza. S
Zoriana’s hands gripped the steering wheel tighter as she drew closer to the Iron-Heart Pack. The name itself was unsettling, but the scenery was breathtaking. However, nothing compared to the sight that greeted her at the gates. Behind a towering fence and an iron gate intricately forged with pa
The SUV came to a halt. They hadn't reached the Iron-Heart pack lands yet. “The food in your former pack was awful. I hope you don’t mind grabbing a late breakfast? I’m starving,” Tristan said, his voice surprisingly soft. Only then did Zoriana realize ho
Zoriana listened to the conversation, offering remarks only when prompted. She wasn't focused; the outcome of these negotiations didn't truly matter to her. In fact, she was surprised they were happening at all. Alpha Tristan didn't need this alliance, and for Ryder, joining forces with Tristan w
