로그인Elara Robin has always been at the bottom — an omega in a world that looks down on her, tormented by her school bully Cara Thorne, and overshadowed by her rank. The last thing she ever expected was a mate, let alone the most feared alpha of all the packs. But the Moon Goddess has never been known to make mistakes. One party. One scent. One undeniable connection that changes everything. Now Elara finds herself bound to Alpha Darius Thorne — powerful, cold, and the brother of the girl who made her life miserable. And somewhere in the shadows, an enemy is watching, waiting to use her as the weapon to bring the greatest alpha to his knees. Love was never supposed to be her story. But fate has other plans.
더 보기The east sitting room had been preserved for over a century, but it had never been a museum.This was the distinction Tamsin found herself explaining, often, to visitors from across the network who came to see the room where it had all started. It was not roped off, not displayed behind glass. The cream curtains, replaced periodically over the decades but always in the same fabric, the same color, still let the morning light in the way Elara had designed them to. The chairs by the fireplace were still used. The table between the windows, where Elara had done her best thinking, still held notebooks, current ones, because the room was still, after everything, a working space.On the centenary night, after the gathering under the full moon had wound down and the pack had returned to its ordinary rhythms, Tamsin found herself in the east sitting room, alone, the way Elara had so often been, in the quiet hours, thinking.She sat in Elara's chair.She had sat in it many times before, of cou
A century after the night Elara ran from a party, the Old Blood Moon Pack held its annual gathering under a full moon.This was not unusual. Full moons came regularly, and the pack had always marked them in some way, the particular significance moon phases carried for wolves never fully faded even as the pack itself had grown and changed across generations. But this gathering was different, because it fell exactly one hundred years, by the pack's careful records, from the night Darius Thorne had felt a bond announce itself across a crowded room.The pack had decided, collectively, the way decisions tended to happen now, distributed across the structures Darius had built, to mark the occasion.Tamsin, alpha now for over a decade, stood at the edge of the community grounds as the gathering assembled, the moon rising full and bright over the territory, the way it had risen a hundred years before, the way it had risen every month in between, indifferent to the particular significance any
Among Darius's effects, found by Marco shortly after his father's death, was a recording.It had been made on the small device Marco had given his father in his final years, mostly so the family could stay connected when travel had become difficult. Darius had never been entirely comfortable with it, had used it sparingly, and Marco had not thought to check it for anything beyond the practical messages they had exchanged over those last years.But there, dated three days before Darius died, was a recording, labeled simply: for whoever needs this.Marco had not listened to it immediately. He had been grieving, and the labeling, for whoever needs this, suggested something he was not certain he was ready to approach. He had set it aside, the way people sometimes set aside things that feel too significant to open without preparation, without the particular steadiness required to receive something that might undo the steadiness you have been maintaining.He listened to it the day after Tam
The letter was discovered three years after Marco's death, at eighty-three, by Tamsin, who had taken on the responsibility of reviewing the family archive that had accumulated over more than a century in the estate.It was in Elara's wooden box, the one that had belonged to her mother, the one Elara had kept on the small table by the window in the east sitting room for over seventy years. The box itself had become part of the room's preserved history, sitting on the shelf beside the photograph of Elara's parents, the same photograph she had carried in the school hallways, all those generations ago.Tamsin had opened the box carefully, expecting old letters, perhaps a few keepsakes, the kind of things that accumulated in such boxes over long lives.She found a letter addressed, in Elara's handwriting, to my children, and whoever comes after them.It was dated from when Elara was eighty-nine, two years before she died. Tamsin understood, reading the date, that Elara had written it knowi
The sun had barely risen over the Old Blood Moon Pack territory when Elara Robin was already awake.There was no luxury of sleeping in — not for an omega. Not for her.She sat up on her small bed, the worn mattress creaking beneath her, and stared at the ceiling for a moment before swinging her leg
Elara did not stop running until she was outside.The cool night air hit her the moment she pushed through the side door of the estate and she welcomed it, pressing her back against the outer wall and dragging in a long breath. Her heart was hammering. Her hands were shaking slightly at her sides an
The inside of the alpha's estate was nothing like Elara had imagined.She had expected grand and cold — the kind of place that announced its power in every corner and made you feel small the moment you stepped inside. And it was grand, there was no question about that. High ceilings, wide open room
The school hallway was already loud by the time Elara arrived.Lockers slamming, voices bouncing off the walls, wolves moving in groups the way they always did — rank sticking to rank like magnets. The alphas and betas clustered near the main corridor, taking up space the way powerful people always
