They said I had a gift—I could see doom before it struck. But nothing prepared me for the devastating prophecy of my own heart: I would fall foolishly in love with Kade, the Alpha of the mighty Frostfang Pack. I gave everything to Kade, who saved me, who owned my soul, who made me believe I was home. But he never saw me as anything more than a distraction. I thought the animalistic hunger in his eyes, the nights we spent tangled in sheets and sweat, meant something. I thought I was his. I was wrong. While I dreamed of being his Luna, he was building a shrine to another woman. He left my love in ruins. So when a mysterious offer came from the South—a chance to save a dying Alpha and become a true Luna—I took it. I ran from the only home I thought I had. But Kade wasn't a man who let his possessions go easily. Especially not the one he never admitted he loved. Now he was at my door, in the heart of enemy territory. He thought he could drag me back. But the Omega he knew was gone. And the choice was no longer his to make.
View MoreLife in the Shadowclaw Pack felt like a dream—one I was afraid to wake from. Every morning, Alex’s mother, Mara, often brought me wildflower honey for my tea; the young Omegas taught me Southern songs; and Alex himself...he looked at me as if I were the moon itself, something beautiful and whole.It had been so long since I’d felt what it was like to be cherished.But like all dreams, it was fragile.“My lady,” a servant rushed in, her voice hushed and urgent. “Alpha Kade is here. He demands to see you.”I froze completely. I looked up and met Alex’s gaze. He had been carefully peeling an apple for me, something he did often.“Lila,” he said nervously. “Do you want to see him?”“No,” I said calmly. “Keep peeling.”The tension melted from his eyes instantly. He bowed his head, back to being my loyal wolf. I smiled. Sometimes, being with Alex felt like taming a giant, devoted dog.But then the estate’s alarm system screamed to life.Alex was on his feet in an instant, pressing a comm dev
Kade stood silently, mind racing through plans to build a team to retrieve me, when a servant announced, “Alpha, Miss Sara is here.”She entered, a vision of delicate grace. “Kade, if you’re not busy...would you come with me? There’s something I need to say.”He looked at his watch. Two hours until the search party was scheduled to depart. He still had time to finalize the weapons, the tracking units, the armored vehicles...He could spare a moment.“Kade?” Sara’s voice pulled him back.“Fine,” he said tersely. He shot a look at his Beta, murmuring quick orders under his breath, then followed her out to the car.The landscape blurred past the windows. Kade restlessly thumbed the screen of his phone, my last known location burning in his mind—south, deep into enemy lands.The car stopped in front of a luxurious hotel, one often used for high-profile pack gatherings.Kade frowned. “Why are we here?”Sara only smiled mysteriously, tugging him inside.When the doors to the grand ballroom sw
Several days of meetings had finally ended. Kade reached for his phone almost instinctively. It had been unusually quiet—no messages, no missed calls from me.He dialed my number directly.“The number you have dialed is currently unavailable…”Kade ended the call with a frown. He assumed I was still angry about the confinement.He pressed the intercom button on his desk. “Beta,” he barked. “The matter I asked you to look into. Report.”“Alpha,” his Beta’s voice came through promptly. “It’s confirmed. The Lupine Feather Brooch will be auctioned tonight at the Eclipse Gallery. It’s verified to be the one belonging to Lila’s mother.”“Have the car ready.”A hour later, Kade’s black luxury sedan pulled up to the discreet, opulent venue. The auction house was filled with the Northern elite. Kade, in a perfectly tailored black suit, moved through the crowd with an air of coldness, ignoring several attempts at conversation from gorgeous she-wolves.He took a seat in the shadows at the back, h
The private jet landed on a moss-covered airstrip, surrounded by ancient pines. Unlike Frostfang’s sharp, ice-crusted peaks, the South smelled of damp earth and wild jasmine—warm, alive.A man in a crimson cloak waited at the steps.“Your highness,” he said, offering a hand to help me down. “Alpha Alex has prepared a living place for you in the main lodge. He...asks for your patience. He wishes to meet you when you’re rested.”I nodded. My living place turned out to be a suite larger than my entire room at Frostfang. By the window, an entire wing dedicated to weaving stretched out—filled with the finest silks, rare fabrics, and looms that glinted in the sunlight. It was exactly what the Shadowclaw Pack had promised, yet seeing it with my own eyes still took my breath away.Before I could settle, a knock sounded. Two female wolves entered, carrying trays of food—warm stew with herbs I’d never tasted, fresh bread still steaming, and a cup of spiced cider.“Alpha Alex sent these,” one sai
The three days in the detention block were like nightmare of my life. I was thrown into the dirtiest cell, and my cellmates, clearly acting on orders from above, made it their mission to torture me.The first day, they held me down, stripped me naked for a search, and doused me with buckets of ice-cold water while laughing at my shivering form. The second day, I found shards of glass mixed into my meal, leaving me with a painful hunger.On the final day, the worst came. Several women dragged me into a toilet stall, pinning me against the wall as their fists rained down on my ribs and back.“Heard you pissed off the wrong person,” the leader sneered, gripping my chin with fingers. “Word is from the top—the Alpha wants you to ‘learn your lesson’.”I curled into a ball on the wet floor. I refused to believe Kade would order this, but every new bruise, every cut, was a reminder that he could be this cruel, that he would go this far to punish me.When the guards finally came to release me
The Silverwood Estate was dazzling, filled with the most influential figures from across the northern territories. The air hummed with polished conversation and the clinking of champagne flutes. I moved through the crowd beside Kade, surprised by the scale of the event.It didn't take long to realize this was no simple gathering. It was an auction. The main hall was a spectacle of gold leaf and crystal chandeliers, with rows of plush seats facing a raised stage. As Kade guided me into the VIP section, my eyes immediately landed on Sara, already seated in the front row, smiling as if she owned the place.Of course, I thought. He brought me here to be part of the audience for his dear Sara.I was about to turn and leave when Kade thrust a glossy auction catalog into my hands. “You’ve seemed down lately,” he said. “I remember you used to enjoy shopping. Thought this might lift your spirits.”I was ready to shove the catalog back at him when a single image on one page made my blood boil.
