Masuk“What made you think you had the right,” he asked softly, dangerously, “to question me, little omega?” Her pulse thundered in her skin, loud enough she was sure he could hear it. Hunter inhaled. His eyes darkened. A slow smirk spread across his face. “Such a dirty little vixen,” he murmured slowly. “I can smell your arousal.” Her head shook frantically, panic flooding her features. “No— I—” “I’m here asking a question,” he continued, his voice low and intimate, “and you’re getting aroused?” ****. Athena had always been the outcast of her pack, the omega with a weak wolf and no value. Her pack used her, beat her and worked her like a slave. And when her fated mate, the Alpha’s younger brother rejected her, whatever remained of her spirit shattered. She became invisible. But her life took an even darker turn the day she was kidnapped and auctioned off to a beta of black moon territory as an offer to the most feared being in all the packs—THE CURSED LYCAN KING. A dragon and lycan hybrid. Hunter, the Cursed King, needed a breeder. Every woman in the realm feared even hearing his name, terrified of the curse that lived within him. So when an omega, a weak wolf was offered to him, he cursed the moment his beta was ever born. She was too fragile and too breakable that carrying his child could very well kill her. What he didn’t know was that Athena was the last Silver Wolf alive. And the moment his teeth grazed her skin, her power exploded to life. Now, enemies and Alphas are plotting. And Hunter, the monster everyone fears finds himself willing to burn kingdoms to nothing in order to protect the one woman he never expected to want…

It would have been cleaner that way. Easier.Yet the feeling wouldn’t leave.That was when I knew something was off.I sat on my throne, my fingers curling around the armrest, the carved stone biting into my palm. The guards at the entrance straightened immediately, sensing the shift in me before I spoke.“Summon Eran,” I said.They didn’t hesitate. Two of them moved at once, boots striking the floor as they rushed away.The silence that followed stretched thin. I stared ahead, jaw tight, my thoughts circling back to her despite my effort to cage them. Three days was too long. Even for a mistake. Even for obedience.Eran arrived moments later, stepping into the hall with his head lowered. He dropped his head and bowed deeply, his posture respectful but not relaxed. He felt it too. Whatever unease lived in me
ATHENAI watched Hunter swallow harshly. I saw it, the tight movement of his throat, the brief tension in his jaw before he masked it again. His gaze stayed on me, cold and assessing, as if I had said something out of this world. The air between us felt brittle. I stood there, rooted, my fingers curling into the soft fabric of my nightdress. His eyes flickered for a moment, just a fraction of a second before he looked away, turning his face as if I were no longer worth seeing.“Leave. Now.”His voice was low, roughened by a growl that scraped against my nerves. There was no anger in it. Just finality.I didn’t wait to be told again.My hands flew to my nightdress, clutching the thin fabric to my chest as if it could shield me from the humiliation burning through me. I turned and fled, my bare feet barely touching the stone as I ran down the corridor toward my room. My heart pounded so loudly I was sure the building itself could hear it, each step echoing the truth I didn’t want to f
HUNTER She stiffened under my gaze, every muscle in her body locking as if stillness were the only shield she had left. “I… I don’t know—” she started, fragile, uncertain. Something sharp cut through me. “You don’t know?” I echoed, my voice husky, edged with something dangerous. My fingers moved without permission, reaching for the buttons of her nightwear, unfastening the first one slowly. Deliberately. My eyes never left her face. “You don’t know who Ryan is?” Her breath caught. Both her hands flew up, clutching at my wrists as if she could stop me, as if she could anchor herself. I didn’t pull away. I continued unbuttoning her nightwear one button at a time, watching her closely, cataloguing every flicker in her eyes, every tremor in her body. Her arousal thickened the air, unmistakable, curling around my senses like a provocation. A growl tore out of my chest before I could stop it. “I—I…” Her voice faltered, barely audible. That was it. I exhaled roughly and stepped back
ATHENA Morning came too quickly, pale light barely brushing the stone corridor when the knock landed against my door. It was firm. Nothing like Claire’s gentle taps. I groaned softly, limbs heavy, every muscle reluctant as I pushed myself upright. Sleep clung to my eyes as I dragged my feet across the cold floor. My fingers curled around the handle almost automatically. I opened the door without thinking, my mouth half forming Claire’s name. The word died on my tongue. Eran stood there instead. My spine snapped straight as though a wire had been pulled tight. Instinct overtook thought before I could even process it. I smoothed my hands down the thin fabric of my nightwear, suddenly hyper aware of how little it covered, how exposed I was under his gaze. His eyes flicked over me quickly, and I felt that familiar, dangerous weight pressing into my chest. Then, he turned his head away, jaw tightening as though he was irritated by the sight but it was the opposite. I could feel his
