“His eyes met mine—first with relief, then pain, then betrayal… and something deeper I couldn't name. But I felt it. Whatever it was, I felt like it was mine too.” Avelyn.

AVELYN

"I don’t think it’s safe here. Someone might see you,” Rowan finally said after a few minutes of silence.

I looked around and gulped, trying to breathe past the tightness in my throat. We were still at the gate that led into the pack.

“Then where would I go?” I asked, trying hard not to meet his eyes.

“My house,” he said simply and took the bag I was holding. My eyes shot up immediately.

Rowan’s house was inside the grand pack house. Very close to Rhett’s mansion.

“That’s not good, Rowan. Alpha Rh—”

“So what would you have me do? Leave you here to get caught? I’m sorry, but I can’t allow that,” he cut me off sharply, his voice low with a growl.

“Take this.” He pulled off his sweatshirt and handed it to me.

I hesitated for a second, then slowly took it from him.

    “I told myself that I didn't care, that she could be with anyone but I lied.” —Alpha Rhett.RHETT“You’re not listening to us, Alpha Rhett,” Elder Kirian said, his tone firm, snapping me out of my spiral.But it was too late. My thoughts had already slipped deep into the pit I’d been trying to avoid for weeks now. I clenched my jaw, staring at the long polished table in front of me, pretending to focus while my mind drifted somewhere else entirely.Two weeks ago, I heard she was getting married. She got married the next day after the rejection.It didn't make any sense. And to Tarek of all people? It felt like the ground opened and swallowed my soul whole. The curse mate bond won't stop hitting my chest.If the moon goddess has favourites, my name surely wasn't in the list.I didn’t even understand it. I had rejected her. That should’ve been the end. But it wasn’t. Because no matter how hard I tried, no matter how many times I told myself it was done... I still felt her.I told mys

    “This is insane Avelyn. The Moon Goddess must be laughing. You're bonded to Rhett, married to Tarek, now mated to me and pregnant by a stranger?” —Beta Rowan.AVELYN“Luna Avelyn?”The doctor’s voice pulled me out of my spiral. I jerked upright in my seat, blinking at her.This is bad. So bad.What do I do now?It’s obvious Tarek hates me. He didn’t want a wife. Just a pawn. And now… this? He’d use it to destroy me without blinking.The doctor cleared her throat gently. “Whose child is it?”My eyes snapped to her.She held my gaze for a second, then looked away, probably sensing that I had no answer. Because I didn’t.“You’re married to the Alpha,” she said carefully. “And I assure you… he would never want to know you were with another man before the bond.”I stared at her.I fought the urge to scream.“I know,” I whispered. “I know. I didn’t plan any of this.”The words cracked inside me.I tried to hold it in.I tried so hard.But I broke. Right there in front of her.Tears slipped

    “My father chose his title.My mother chose silence.And I was thrown into the arms of a monster.” —Avelyn.AVELYNPain pounded inside my head. My vision blurred. I tried to steady myself, but my legs gave out. I crashed face–first to the ground.The metallic taste of blood filled my mouth. I knew I was injured.When I looked up through the blinding tears, I saw my parents and a man… Tarek.“Dad, please you can't do this.” I knelt down and clasped my hands together ignoring the man totally.It's courtesy to always bow to an Alpha but I wasn't in the right state of mind to do that.“Dad please, I'm begging you…” I started creeping forward but my mom stood up abruptly."What are you doing Avelyn? This is the best decision your father could make. You should be grateful.” Mom argued with a shaky voice.Best choice? Is getting married to a monster the best choice? Someone whom I barely know and I've always heard bad rumors about?I looked up at him and my heart pounded against my chest

    “The one born beneath the Blood Eclipse bears two marks: A soul that burns its mate, and a bond that ends in death. Any Alpha who dares to claim her shall feel her fire with every touch.And should the bond be sealed, death shall follow within the turning of a year… brought forth by her hand, her womb, or her power.” —Elder Cassian. AVELYN “Avelyn, that’s really scary, you know right?” Gwen stopped walking. She looked completely freaked out.“Calm down, Gwendolyn. It was just a one-night stand. Besides, I’m sure the guy wasn’t from our pack,” I said and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.“You don’t get why this is bad, do you?” she asked.I stopped and turned to look at her. “What do you mean?”“You’re turning eighteen today under the blood eclipse. You’ll probably find your mate tonight… and you’ve already lost your virginity to a stranger.”“Oh my God, Gwen. You sound like a mother right now.” I rolled my eyes and grabbed her arm to keep walking.Gwen is my best friend. We we
