تسجيل الدخول“Don’t flatter yourself. In my bed, there’ll be no pleasure for you—only pain. Mate bond or not, I’ll ruin you before I ever love you.” That was the promise I got on my wedding night. Being forced to marry the Alpha who hates me? That wasn’t part of the plan. I’ve spent years plotting the downfall of the pack that took everything from me. But when heat came unexpectedly, fate bound me to Lord Lucan—cold, ruthless, and devastatingly powerful. I didn’t choose him. The bond did. To him, I’m nothing but the daughter of traitors. A stain on the pack and a reminder of everything he lost. To me, he’s the son of the enemy who wrongly condemned my family. When he dragged me to the altar, it wasn’t love—it was revenge. When he touched me, it wasn’t passion—it was punishment. He didn’t mark me out of love. He did it to cage me. Now I’m trapped in his bed, his territory, his rules… while he swears to make my life a living hell. But hate is a dangerous line to walk— Especially when his touch burns hotter than fire, and his kisses steal the breath from my lungs. I was determined to destroy his pack. He was determined to destroy me. Only one of us will win this game—and it won’t be the one who falls first.
عرض المزيدAurela The silence in Lucan’s bedroom was heavy enough to drown in. For hours after he left, I didn’t move. I stayed pressed against the headboard, my knees pulled tightly to my chest, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Waiting for the kindness to curdle into cruelty. But no one came bursting through the door to drag me back to the training room. No enforcers arrived with iron cuffs. There was only the quiet crackle of the hearth and the steady, rhythmic thrum of my own heartbeat. And beneath that, something else. A strange, humming warmth in my veins. I looked down at my arms. The deep, purple bruising that had blossomed across my skin from the sheer force of Lucan’s dominance was already turning a faded, sickly yellow. By nightfall, it would be gone completely. My unnatural healing. The thing I had spent my entire life hiding. I pulled the sleeves of my oversized shirt down to my wrists. It didn’t matter how fast my body stitched itself back together. My mind was stil
Lucan The heavy oak door clicked shut behind me, sealing me in the cold, dimly lit corridor. I stood there for a long time, my hand still resting on the iron latch. The silence of the hallway was a stark contrast to the deafening roar of my own thoughts. Alternating Extremes. I let out a harsh, bitter breath, tilting my head back against the stone wall. She thought my apology was a tactic. A calculated move pulled straight from the pages of the books I had given her. And the worst part? I couldn’t even blame her. If I were in her position—surviving ten years of torture, starvation, and isolation, only to be forced into marriage and subjected to a brutal test of dominance—I wouldn’t have believed me either. I had handed her to Gareth like she was nothing. I had watched her break. My wolf, Kael, let out a low, mournful whine in the back of my mind. He was pacing endlessly, clawing at the edges of my consciousness. *We hurt her,* he snarled. *She looks at us like we are the
Aurela The first thing I registered was the smell. Pine needles, frost, and something distinctly, suffocatingly male. His scent. My eyes snapped open, but the sudden rush of light sent a spike of agony straight through my skull. I squeezed my eyes shut, a breathless gasp tearing from my throat. My body felt like it had been crushed beneath a boulder and hastily pieced back together. My limbs were leaden, my chest hollow, and my mind… my mind felt bruised. The phantom weight of his Alpha dominance still pressed against the edges of my consciousness, a terrifying reminder of how easily he could snap my will if he chose to. I tried to push myself up, my fingers digging into the impossibly soft silk sheets beneath me. "Don't. You need to rest." The voice was low, rough, and entirely too close. I froze. Slowly, I turned my head. Lucan was sitting in a high-backed armchair drawn right up to the edge of the bed. He wasn’t wearing his formal lord’s coat or his polished armor.
Lucan Her body slumped before I could think. One heartbeat she was staring at me with those broken eyes, the next she was falling. A snarl ripped from my throat—raw, panicked—and before she hit the ground, I shifted mid-stride, fur and claws giving way to skin and hands, and caught her against me. She was so light it terrified me, her head resting against my chest, her skin clammy with exhaustion. “Aurela,” I breathed, shaking her gently, but she didn’t stir. Her lashes lay against her cheeks, still damp with tears, her lips parted as though the fight had finally drained her. I’d seen wolves endure wounds that should have killed them, but this—this was worse. The pain I’d subjected her to had broken her from the inside, and I had stood there, watching, as though she weren’t mine to protect. I gathered her in my arms and strode for the door. She needed treatment, fast. Gasps rippled through the air as I emerged with her in my arms—sharp, hushed intakes of breath. I didn’t need to
Aurela I gave a bitter laugh, the sound harsh in my throat. How foolish of me to think something was beginning to shift between us, that perhaps—just perhaps—Lucan was starting to see me as more than the cursed girl bound to him. I’d been deceiving myself all along. The golden-eyed wolf across t
"Aurela," a voice called out, and I froze mid-step. I was moved to tears instantly. Someone actually remembered my name—even called it out. But the moment was short-lived as I turned and saw who it was. "I see you still live," he said, stepping out from the shadows. "Lord Lucan," I answered, m
Aurela Books lined every available surface. Stacks of them. Shelves. Boxes. Piled neatly like they had been prepared for a long time ago. But I knew better. This… was because of one conversation. Was he testing me again? Or is he beginning to soften towards me? I quickly dismissed the thought, t
Aurela He pushed me onto the bed, and I fell back without resistance. There was no kiss. No tenderness. No warning. Just the harsh sound of fabric tearing as he ripped my dress down the middle, exposing me with a violence that was almost reverent. His mouth dipped to my neck, not to kiss—but
