LOGINThe great hall thundered with the roar of the pack. Torches flickered along the stone walls, throwing heat and shadow across hundreds of watching wolves. The air was thick with sweat, musk, and the sharp scent of arousal. The mating ritual had already stretched nearly an hour, and the crowd only grew louder with each passing moment.Nymeria stood at the edge of the raised platform, arms folded tight across her chest, eyes fixed on the three pairs in the center. She watched every thrust, every breath, every cry. Her body was numb. Her heart was shattered. But she couldn't look away. She was forced to witness every moment of her heartbreak.Damien moved first. Selene was already on her hands and knees on the thick furs, back arched, dark hair sticking to her damp neck. Her body gleamed with sweat in the torchlight. Damien knelt behind her, hands gripping her hips. His fingers shook."You're trembling," Selene said, her voice low and rough. She pushed her hips back against him, a cru
The guards hesitated, looking at Damien as if waiting for his permission.Damien stepped forward, his voice booming across the hall. โNobody is seizing anyone! Take one step back from Nymeria. Now!โThe guards immediately stopped.Cassianโs face twisted with anger. โAlpha Damien, she has disrespected the pack and insulted the Moon Goddessโs chosen mates. She must be punished.โโShe has done nothing wrong except love us,โ Kai said coldly as he stepped beside Damien. His eyes were fixed on Cassian. โWe are the ones who betrayed her. We lied to her and made her believe she was safe with us, only to bring three other women here to take her place.โRafe joined his brothers, his expression hard. โIf anyone touches her, they will answer to all three of us. I donโt care if youโre an Elder or the Moon Goddess herself. You will regret laying a hand on her.โThe hall fell silent.Nymeria stared at the three men, her expression almost empty. Her tears had stopped, but somehow that made her look e
The word barely escaped her mouth. Nymeria couldnโt respond. Her entire body had gone numb as she stared at Damien, Kai, and Rafe standing beside the three women. The world seemed to tilt beneath her feet, and her stomach twisted painfully as everything that had happened that evening suddenly made sense.The gifts, There had been no gifts.They had lied to her.How could the three men who had made her feel so loved only moments ago be standing in a bonding ceremony with other women?Then someone collided with her from behind.A servant carrying a large tray stumbled, and before he could catch himself, the entire tray slipped from his hands. Plates crashed against the marble floor, glasses shattered, and the sharp sound echoed throughout the enormous hall.Every conversation stopped, Every head turned.Nymeria froze near the entrance, tears still streaming silently down her face as the entire pack stared at her.Lily immediately moved closer to her, but Nymeria barely noticed.The th
A low murmur spread through the pack as the ceremonial preparations began.Damien looked at Kai, then at Rafe. For the first time, the three brothers fully understood the trap their mother had set for them.If they rejected the women in front of everyone, Elara and the Elders could twist their refusal into an accusation that they were rejecting the Moon Goddess herself. But if they stayed silent, the entire pack would assume they had accepted their fated mates.Damien clenched his jaw. โFine,โ he said coldly. โLetโs get this over with.โKai glanced at him, clearly unhappy with the situation. โYouโre sure about this?โโWe donโt have much of a choice,โ Damien replied.Rafe let out a quiet sigh. โMother really planned everything.โBefore any of them could say more, Elara smiled.โWise choice, my sons.โ Her smile widened as she looked at all three of them. โI promise you, you wonโt regret it.โDamienโs eyes hardened. Their mother had planned every part of this, And they had walked straig
Damien shoved the doors open first, What he saw made his blood run cold. The coronation hall had been completely transformed. Candles blazed along the walls, filling the enormous room with flickering golden light. The ceremonial platform had already been prepared, its ancient markings polished and glowing beneath the candlelight. Several representatives from the Moon Temple stood nearby in their white robes, their expressions solemn as though they were preparing for a sacred ceremony.And standing at the center of it all was Elara.She looked completely at ease, A wide, satisfied smile rested on her lips as she watched the room around her, clearly pleased with herself. Everything was already in place. The bonding ceremony had begun without them.โWhat the hell is this?โ Damien demanded, his voice echoing through the hall. โMother, what have you done?โElara slowly turned to face him. There was not even a hint of guilt on her face. Instead, she clasped her hands together and smiled
Damien and the other Alphas finally reached the ceremony hall. He pushed the heavy doors open, and Nymeria stepped inside behind him. She immediately stopped, her eyes widening as she took in the sight before her.The entire hall had been transformed for her birthday. Beautiful flowers covered the tables and lined the walls, filling the room with their soft, sweet fragrance. Hundreds of candles flickered throughout the hall, casting a warm golden glow across the room. Long tables had been covered with delicious food, while silver plates and shining glasses had been arranged neatly for the celebration.At the center of the room stood a large birthday cake covered in smooth white frosting and decorated with delicate blue flowers.Nymeria stared at it in disbelief For a moment, she couldnโt find the words to speak. โThisโฆโ she whispered, her eyes moving slowly across the beautiful hall. โYou did all this?โDamien smiled softly as he watched her reaction. โFor you.โKai spread his arms p
