로그인“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.

Not because I didn’t have one—but because they made sure no one said it. They trained the pack to forget I had one. Said it was too lovely for someone like me. Too soft for a cursed girl. And the worst part? It worked. Over time, my name truly faded from everyone’s memory like it was never there to begin with. Sometimes I whisper it to myself at night, just to remember that I had one. But during the day? I answer to nothing. Or to “you,” or “hey,” or sometimes just a sharp whistle, a snapped finger, or a kick to the side. That’s my life in the Blue Moon Pack. I’m twenty now. Still unmated. At eighteen, when every unmated male braced for the possibility of pairing with me, they all swore to reject me on sight. Lucky for them—and me—I never presented. No bond. No spark. No glowing mark. Nothing. It was like the Moon Goddess herself had passed me over. And I was relieved. The last thing I wanted was to be tied to someone here. They already hate me enough. I’m treated like the lowest of the low. Even the servants have more standing than I do. I get shoved in corridors, made to clean up after others, sent on errands they wouldn’t even ask pups to do. When things go missing—it’s my fault. When someone’s angry—they find me. When something smells bad—I’m the one scrubbing it. But it wasn’t always like this. I used to live in the Alpha’s house. Had my own room, warm meals, and clothes that weren’t stitched from scraps. I was treated like a princess—not because I was royal, but because my parents were. They used to be respected. Loved, even. They were the Alpha’s Betas. The right and left hands of Alpha Oswald himself. But ten years ago, everything changed. They were accused of betraying the pack. Of siding with rogues. Of being the reason the Luna, her eldest son, and several elders were killed during a rogue ambush. The Blue Moon Pack never forgets. And they never forgive. My parents didn’t even get a chance to speak in their defense. They were executed the next day. Just like that. No trial. No mercy. Since then, I’ve been the curse they left behind. The girl everyone blames. The stain they can’t wash off. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to kill me along with my parents—they just couldn’t. They set our house ablaze with me still inside. I remember the crackling, the heat climbing up my legs. I screamed. No one tried to rescue me. Then—out of nowhere—a heavy downpour began. Angry. Unnatural. It drowned the flames like someone had poured it straight from the sky. They tried to bury me after that. Alive. Said I was cursed. But the ground wouldn’t close. I heard their whispers. Saw the fear in their eyes. They tried again and again—poison, blades, starvation. Nothing worked. After a while, they gave up on killing me. But they never stopped punishing me. Sometimes, I laugh at it. The Moon Goddess has a twisted sense of humor. She didn’t bless me with a mate. She didn’t give me a family. But she won’t let me die. I barely lived. No schooling. No training. Just menial labor and constant reminders that I was a breathing stain on the pack’s legacy. A life worse than death. At least, that’s how it was… until someone helped me. A stranger. A rogue named Riven. One of the very people they claimed my parents sided with. He told me the truth. Told me what really happened. Told me how my parents were set up. And then, he offered me a choice: Waste away like they wanted, or fight back. I chose to fight. It’s been five years since that day. Five years of collecting information—every little piece. I know where Alpha Oswald keeps his war files. I know the patrol routes, the shifts, the guard rotations. I know the blind spots, the broken sensors, the secret tunnels. I know what herbs cause hallucinations and what poisons look like harmless tea leaves. I’ve been in every room of the Alphas’ house, whether they noticed or not. I’ve handled maps, listened in on war room meetings, fetched scrolls and notes no one bothered to lock up. I’ve even tended the sealed vault of records alone. They don’t see me as a threat. That’s their first mistake. A costly one at that.Aurela 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 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 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
Lucan I sent my enforcers to pass the news and set everything in place while I got ready. I hadn’t even changed out of my shirt when the summons came. Figures. They were waiting for me in the council chamber—my father and six elders seated around the crescent-shaped table. Their expressio
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
