Selene loved Nathan. She gave up being Alpha to make him Alpha. Female wolves never did this before. Selene promised to be Nathan's Luna and queen. But Nathan said bad things about Selene. He said she was not faithful and wanted to rule with the rogue king. To prove she was innocent, Selene drank poison wine. She fell down nearly dead. Her pack put her in dungeon and kicked her out of the pack. Selene was bleeding in the woods. Logan was Alpha of the powerful Blood Moon pack. He found Selene and saved her life. "You're safe now, little one," he said kindly. But Logan's mate Zara was jealous. "She can't have you. You're mine!" Zara shouted. Unknown to all, Logan had a curse. Only Selene's powers could break it. When Zara learned this, she kidnapped Selene. Now Nathan and Logan raced to find Selene first. Whose mate would she choose? The one who betrayed her or the one who rescued her? Selene had to pick one wolf and break the other's heart. No matter what, her Alpha would betray her.
View MoreChapter 22Zara's POVI stomp out of Logan's office, face burning with shame and fury. That arrogant bastard! How dare he reject me like that after everything I did to seduce him? I seethe as I recall stripping naked right there, putting my perfect body on display just for him. Yet he didn't even spare me a second glance once that...that nobody Selene walked in.My lip curls in disgust at the memory of Logan shamelessly fawning over the unworthy little outcast. Throwing away his chance with me - an Alpha female of impeccable pedigree - all for some disgraced reject from a lesser pack.This insult cannot go unanswered. My hands clench into fists as I stalk toward the packhouse exit. I don't care if he is Alpha. No one treats me with such disrespect and gets away with it.Bursting outside, I barely make it past the tree line before a low growl rumbles behind me. I whirl to see Luke emerge from the shadows, eyes gleaming in the dimness."What's got you so riled, little sis? Trouble with
Chapter 21Logan's POVToday the big dinner with council and elders of Blood Moon pack. My heart beat fast as I approach hall, Selene by my side. My beautiful mate.The whole pack stand when we enter. They respect me as Alpha, their leader. I give nod to show I see them. Selene walk close, I hold her tight like somebody gonna try take her from me. We sit at head table, Selene to my right. My mama and sister Gina on other side. Luke and Zara next to them, Luke my beta. My mother want me mate with Zara before but Moon Goddess choose Selene for me instead.Elder Raph, he old friend of my father, he signal for me to make speech. I squeeze Selene's hand under table and she smile up at me. Her face give me strength.I stand tall and clear my throat. "Greetings, my fellow pack. It been too long since we gather like this for council meeting."I look around at all my people. "Important for Alpha to share bread with those who guide our great pack. Discuss problems and victories as family."I p
Chapter 20Nathan's POVWatching Logan and Selene drive off together, so wrapped up in their newfound mated bliss, felt like a gut punch. Seeing two people build a life and future with each other when that chance was ripped away from me...it's the hardest thing for any man to witness.If not for my foolishness and stubborn beliefs all those years ago, maybe it could have been me embracing my true mate with such unrestrained joy. But I'd squandered that precious gift through arrogance and pride."Mia, it's time to go." I reached for her hand, desperate to escape this torturous scenario before it carved any deeper into my fractured psyche. But Mia merely wrenched her arm away from my grasp, stormy eyes flashing defiance as she stalked toward the car without a backwards glance. She moved with jerky, angry motions, dropping her purse in a dramatic huff before wrenching open the driver's side door.I stood rooted to the spot, mouth slightly agape asI watched her unraveling tantrum play o
Chapter 19Logan's POV"How dare you!" I snarled, every inch of my body tensing as the feral instinct to attack surged through my veins. Mia flinched back, eyes widening as she registered the full, lethal threat I represented. Good, let the treacherous bitch reap the consequences of her actions.I moved to lunge, to tear into her vulnerable flesh and make her pay for daring to strike at what was mine. But a firm hand on my bicep stopped me short."Alpha Logan, please." The placating tones came from the male beside Mia - Nathan, if I recalled correctly. An alpha in his own right, though clearly outmatched here. "This was just a misunderstanding between my mate and yours. There's no need for violence."My lips peeled back from my elongated fangs as I fought for control. Part of me recognized his words as the diplomatic truth - I couldn't simply rip out Mia's throat in front of the humans, no matter how richly she deserved it."A misunderstanding?" I bit out through gritted teeth, throw
Chapter 18Selene's POV"Come on, let's go in here!" Gina looped her arm through mine, practically vibrating with excitement as she towed me toward the ritzy clothing boutique.I couldn't help but laugh at her infectious enthusiasm, allowing myself to be swept up in the bubbly current of her energy. For someone initially so wary around me, Logan's younger sister had certainly warmed up quickly."Lead the way," I grinned, gesturing for Gina to take point.She flashed me a megawatt smile before barreling into the store, a whirlwind of nonstop chatter and brash confidence. I trailed dutifully in her wake, trying not to be too overwhelmed by the opulent surroundings. "Oh my god, Selene, you have to try this one on!" Gina was already zeroing in on a shimmering golden gown that looked more suitable for royalty than me.My eyes practically bugged out when I spotted the eye-wateringly high price tag dangling from the plunging neckline. "Uh, I'm not sure that's really...necessary," I hedged.
Chapter 17Selene's POVWarm sunlight filtered through the curtains, rousing me from the most blissful sleep I'd had in ages. A contented smile tugged at my lips as flashes of the previous night's activities danced through my mind.Logan's scorching kisses...his wicked tongue trailing liquid fire over my sensitized flesh...our bodies joining in a primal, rapturous dance.My inner muscles clenched reflexively at the memories, a fresh slick of arousal dampening my thighs. I rolled onto my side, fully expecting to find Logan's sleeping form next to me.But the other side of the bed was empty, albeit still deliciously rumpled. I frowned slightly, reaching out to feel the slight chill of the sheets. He must have slipped out a while ago.Before I could ponder his absence further, a teasing voice echoed through my consciousness.'That was hot last night.'I jolted upright with a tiny squeak, sheets pooling around my waist. "Ezra!"'In the flesh...well, sort of.' My inner wolf chuckled wicked
Chapter 16Selene's POVMy heart felt like it had shattered into a million jagged pieces. I couldn't breathe, couldn't think, as the mortifying sight before me burned into my mind's eye.Zara, brazenly undressed and draped across Logan's sofa like a seductive offering. The sickly-sweet scent of her perfume cloying in the air. And Logan, standing there looking...guilty? Shocked? I couldn't even tell.Bile rose in my throat as Zara's mocking purr cut through the roaring in my ears. "Why, hello there Selene. I was just waiting for the Alpha to...join me."Join her? As in...as in what, exactly? My gaze flew back to Logan, desperate for an explanation, any kind of denial. But he seemed stunned into silence, frozen as that haughty she-wolf openly propositioned him.It was too much. I couldn't be here, couldn't witness this...whatever this was. Not again. A lifetime of betrayals and false loyalties came crashing down on me all at once.Logan's voice calling after me sounded muffled and dista
Chapter 15Logan's POVI stared at Luke's retreating form, an uneasy feeling settling in my gut. Something was definitely off with him, that much was clear. But what? My eyes drifted to the file he'd left on my desk, containing all the weekly pack reports. With a weary sigh, I sank back into my chair and flipped it open, determined to review the contents thoroughly. Maybe the answer lay buried somewhere in these pages.Ever since we were kids, Luke and I had been practically inseparable. He knew me better than anyone, which is why his uncharacteristic behavior tonight felt so...unsettling. We'd always been able to talk to each other about anything.A frown creased my brow as I pored over the neatly compiled documents. Guards' rotations, territory reports, supply inventories - everything seemed routine and in order. So what had Luke so riled?I was so engrossed in my task that I barely registered the soft rap at my door. "Come in," I called distractedly, not looking up."My alpha."Th
Chapter 14Logan’s pov I left my mother's room with her typical nagging still ringing in my ears about finding a mate. As if I didn't have more important pack issues to deal with right now. Though...maybe taking Selene to this dinner with the council tomorrow night wouldn't be the worst idea.I could already hear Selene and Gina's laughter echoing from down the hall as I approached my house. A small smile tugged at the corners of my mouth. Those two seemed to really hit it off. Pushing open the door, I announced myself. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything."Selene looked up with a warm smile. "Not at all.""Did you tell your mother about what we discussed?" she asked curiously.I shook my head. "No, but she brought up another matter. There's a dinner tomorrow night with the whole council that she expects me to attend." I paused, wondering if I was being too presumptuous. "I think it might be a good time for you to meet them as well. And for them to meet you."Gina perked up from h
