ANMELDENI slept with my husbands Beta. It was a mistake, or not? But I'm addicted. How can't I be? I am Diane Demora, Luna of the Delta Pack, but my marriage is a lie. For two years, Julian has played the perfect husband—gentle, patient, understanding. Yet every night, he leaves my bed empty. He lets me believe I'm infertile and there's no need for sex. After one final rejection, I run. I end up in a dark bar, desperate to forget. That's where I meet him—an older stranger whose touch awakens parts of me I thought had died. He claims me with a hunger I have never known, and for one reckless night, I let myself belong to him. Then everything falls apart. Hidden among pack records, I discover a medical audit. Three months after our wedding, Julian had a vasectomy. The truth shatters me. He never wanted a family. Never wanted an heir. Never wanted me. All he ever wanted was my father's throne. On my way to confront him, I uncover something worse. Hidden in the library shadows, I find my husband on his knees before a man whose face I cannot see. You think that's the worst of it. You're wrong. The nightmare peaks when Julian introduces the pack's new Beta and my personal guard: Dom Vormos. The same man from the bar. The same man who unraveled me with a single touch. The same man I can't forget. Now I'm trapped between a husband who wants me dead and a Beta who wants me far too much. But I refuse to be a victim. Julian will pay for every betrayal. And as for Dom? If claiming him is what it takes to become the worst wife this pack has ever seen, then so be it.

The water in the tub was cold, but my skin felt like it was boiling, as if it were on fire.
I leaned my head back against the cold surface of the tub and closed my eyes.
I was in heat. Every few weeks, this heavy, pulsing hunger took over my body. It was a reminder that I was a wolf—and that I was a woman.
I tried to help myself. My fingers moved under the water, searching for some kind of relief.
But no matter what I did, it wasn't working. It was like trying to put out a forest fire with a cup of water.
I needed a man. I needed my husband.
I got out of the bath and dried off quickly. I knew it was time. My heart raced in anticipation. I went to my closet and picked out a piece of black lace that cost more than most people made in a year. I put it on and stood in front of the mirror.
Taking one last glance at myself, I looked beautiful, but I felt empty. At least, for now.
I sat on the edge of the bed, listening. Finally, I heard his footsteps in the hallway.
My nose flared, catching the soul-satisfying male scent before I even saw him. The door finally opened, and he walked in.
Julian Demora.
Alpha of the Delta Pack. He had been Alpha since my father passed away two years ago.
Handsome as always, but his tie was loose and his face looked tired. It was expected. He had just returned home after four days away.
"Julian," I called, my voice sounding small in the big room.
He looked at me and paused. A small, kind smile appeared on his face as he walked over and sat beside me on the bed.
"You look beautiful, Diane," he whispered.
I didn't waste a second. I moved into his arms, pressing my hot face against his cool neck. I could smell his scent—pine and expensive cologne.
“Welcome, my Alpha,” I whispered into his ear.
I started kissing his jaw, my hands shaking as I tried to unbutton his shirt.
"I missed you so much, my king," I murmured against his skin. "I’ve been waiting for you."
Julian didn't pull away. Instead, he wrapped his arms around me and held me close. He stroked my hair gently, and for a moment, I thought he was finally going to stay.
He leaned in and kissed me—a soft, sweet kiss on the lips. My eyes closed, anticipating more, but then he pulled away.
“I missed you too, baby,” he whispered, looking down, probably admiring my sexy outfit.
Then his gaze shifted back to my face.
"I'm sorry, honey," he said, pulling back just an inch. He cupped my face in his hands and looked into my eyes with pity. "I know it’s your time. But…" he exhaled. “This is not the right time for this, Diane.”
My blood ran cold. Just for a second, but I wasn't about to give up. Not yet.
My hand went around his neck, wrapping around it. I moved forward, almost pushing my cleavage into him. I leaned in for another kiss. My lips met his again, my hand traveled down his back, and… he pulled away.
“Diane,” he called low, his soft eyes on mine. “We can't… look, baby, I just came to pick some stuff up.”
My hand dropped from his neck. The heat burning inside of me was enough to make me go insane, and he was saying we can't? After I had waited for him for four days?
“Do you remember that I am in heat, Julian?” I asked, my eyes almost glassy now.
“Yes, baby, I do,” he replied, eyes soft and calm. I knew he did. I had sent him messages again and again about how much I needed him. And he wasn't so daft not to know why.
"Then stay," I begged, clutching his shirt. "Please, Julian. Just tonight."
He sighed and kissed my forehead. It was the kind of kiss a father gives a daughter, not a husband giving his wife.
"There’s a crisis at the company," he said softly. "The border patrols found something, and the board members are waiting for me. I only came home to grab some files."
“Julian, this company—it's ours. It can wait. The board members can wait. Everything can wait.”
“You too, baby, you can—”
He didn't finish his statement when his phone buzzed in his pocket.
His hand dug in, retrieving the device. He looked at the screen and stood up, smoothing out his suit. I stepped backward.
"Go back to sleep," he said, giving me one last gentle smile. "I'll have Freda bring you some tea to help you relax. I’ll see you in the morning."
He turned and walked out, talking into his phone before he even cleared the doorway.
The door clicked shut.
I slumped onto the bed, sitting there in my lace underwear, feeling foolish and cold. My eyes welled up.
It's been months. Months since Julian even touched me the way he used to. The way a husband should touch his wife.
Now, let's not even talk about the “loving” way he had just rejected me. Even if I wanted to convince myself, I knew that this… this wasn't my Julian. This Julian wasn't the same Julian who would go crazy over me.
Who couldn't stand the sight of my exposed thigh.
This Julian—he didn't want me. This Julian prioritized his title over his status as a husband.
My vision blurred, and I felt it trickle down—tears. Not of agony, but of frustration.
The heat in my blood hadn't gone away. It was worse now. I felt like I was going to explode if I stayed in this quiet, empty room.
My hand flew to my face, wiping my tears away.
I stood up, walking to my closet. I grabbed a long coat to hide my lingerie. I didn't care that it was late. I didn't care that I was the Alpha's wife—the Luna of this pack.
I needed to go somewhere where the air was fresh and the music was loud enough to drown out the sound of my own heart.
I was going to a bar deep inside the town. A place where no one knew I was a “Queen” who was being treated like a ghost.
“Get the car ready,” I snapped at the guard in the hall as I walked out. “And don't follow me. I'm going alone.”
DOM The smell of motor oil, hot iron, and burned rubber filled the air of the open garage. I leaned over the stripped-down engine of a vintage chopper, my hands covered in dark, grease. I liked it this way. I had been away from the Delta Pack for months. No political meetings. No fake smiles from greedy elders. I had left the daily operations of the Vegas Den in the hands of Rocco and Lyra. They ran the business, handled the biker crews, and kept the territory safe. I just wanted to be off the grid. I wanted to live a quiet life, soaking my hands in engine oil and fixing broken machines. Yea… I loved it. Not part of my retirement plan but it's something I loved to do. And I'm doing. "Hey, hand me that twelve-millimeter socket," I barked toward the back of the garage without looking up. "Right here, boss!" one of my young mechanics called out, hurrying over to drop the steel tool into my open palm. "And get those air filters cleaned out," I ordered another guy standing
JULIANmy heart was beating fast. I didn't what was going on or who the hell was these persons.Then, boots stepped into the dirt all around me. I was surrounded. I could hear the deep rumble of powerful motorcycle engines idling a few feet away, purring like beasts. "I didn't know that people could do dirty things and think they can just run away from it," a deep, rough voice spoke from right above me. It was a voice I recognized. The voice was cold, slow, and calm. "People like you think they can eat their cake and have it all," the voice continued, the sound of leather gloves rubbing together echoing in the quiet air. "You do terrible things, and then you think the repercussions will never come to you. You feel free. You live fly. You let them drive you back to your region so nice and soft. Like nothing ever happened." My teeth chattered together in pure terror. I pressed my back against the dirt, pulling my chained hands up toward my face. "Who are you?!" I shrieked i
FREE CHAPTER! JULIAN The rough fabric of the black blindfold pressed tight against my eyes. I couldn't see a single thing. But I didn't care. Inside my head, a smug smile was already spreading across my face. The motor hummed continuously under my boots. Sitting right beside me on the seat were two guards. I leaned my head back against the cold steel wall of the van. They thought they were punishing me. They thought sending me back to my native land was my death sentence. Idiots, . Absolute fools. The Delta Pack judges didn't have the courage to execute me on their own ground. So they followed the old laws. They put me in chains and ordered these guards to drive me across the border to my homeland. They didn't understand how my people worked. In my home territory, I had connections. Over the yeara I have made money. I wasn't a fool without plans. And to the judges in my land? . The death penalty was just a fancy law written on old paper to scare the poor. T
These chapters are Free!! DIANE "Why...?" I choked out, a soft sob escaping my lips. "Why would you do all of this just to hand it away?" "Because you were the only real thing in this place," Dom replied quietly. He looked around. “Everything here is fake. Rubbish. There's nothing here. Just you. You. Please take it.” My fingers moved on their own. I reached out, my cold hands brushing against his warm fingers as I took the golden seal into my own grip. The metal felt heavy, solid, and real in my hands. Just as my fingers closed around the gold, a loud, heavy rumble of engine noise echoed from the side road behind the court square. I turned my head slowly. A large, black transport van covered in iron bars was moving slowly along the outer driveway. It was surrounded by six armed guards oneback, their weapons drawn. Through the heavy iron grates of the van window, I saw a face. Julian. He was stripped of his fine suits, wearing a dirty gray tunic. Heavy iron chains we
