MasukSofia Homes once stood at the pinnacle of power—an elite warrior of the Royal Guard, sworn to protect the Alpha King’s bloodline. She gave it all up for love, choosing her mate, Andrew Grafton, and the quiet life of his struggling pack. But during a fateful hunt, Andrew abandoned her to face a rogue alone, rushing instead to save another woman—the ambitious Anne, daughter of a powerful Alpha. The betrayal cut deeper than any wound, shattering Sofia’s pride. Humiliated and heartbroken, Sofia rejects Andrew and leaves, determined to reclaim her dignity and find her missing brother, a warrior lost on the borderlands. The pack never knew the truth of her legendary past… nor does Andrew. Her path collides with Arthur Slater, the ruthless new Alpha King, who instantly recognizes her strength—and claims her as his mate under ancient law. But Sofia has no intention of belonging to anyone again, especially a man she barely knows. When Arthur reveals that the rebels threatening his reign are holding her brother captive, she’s forced into an uneasy alliance that sparks dangerous attraction. As war brews, jealousy burns, and old enemies close in, Sofia must decide whether to keep her heart locked away… or stand beside the one man who might match her power.

I step closer, and Andrew actually takes a step back. "Your mother just slapped me in your home while accusing me of bringing shame to your pack. Your sister called me a liability and an omega. And you—" My voice breaks slightly. "You stood there and excused it.""I'm trying to keep the peace—""By sacrificing my dignity?" My laugh is bitter. "How convenient that peace always comes at my expense.""That's not fair," Andrew protests, running a hand through his hair. "You know how difficult things have been lately. The pack is struggling, we need allies—""And I'm the sacrifice for those allies?" My voice rises. "Tell me, Andrew, when did Anne become more important than your mate?""You're overreacting," Andrew snaps, his shock giving way to anger. "You can't just abandon your duties as Luna because your feelings are hurt.""My feeling
SOFIAI cradle my wounded arm against my chest as I climb the front steps of the pack house. The cuts have stopped bleeding, but they throb with each heartbeat—a steady reminder of my humiliation in the woods.Behind me, I can hear the excited chatter of pack members recounting Andrew's "heroic" rescue of Anne. Their voices carry easily through the evening air, painting him as the perfect Alpha who rushed to save a helpless damsel.No one mentions the rogue that actually attacked me. No one asks about my injuries.I push through the front door and immediately feel the weight of hostile stares. Joan Grafton sits in the main living area with several other pack members, her sharp features twisted in disapproval. Andrew's mother, Karen, stands beside the fireplace like a sentinel guarding sacred ground."Well, well." Joan's voice drips with mock concern. "Look who finally made it back."I keep walking toward the stairs, but Karen's voice stops me cold."Don't you dare walk away from us, g
SOFIAI sit on a fallen log at the edge of the hunting grounds, my hands shaking as I dab antiseptic on the claw marks. Every throb of pain reminds me of Andrew's voice calling Anne's name while I fought for my life.The betrayal sits like acid in my stomach. Three years of marriage, and when I screamed for help, he ran the other way."Sofia?"I look up to find Anne approaching with a covered plate, her face arranged in perfect concern. The woman has somehow found time to change from her hunting clothes into a flowing dress and brush her hair until it gleams.My jaw tightens. The last thing I need right now is fake sympathy from the woman my husband rushed to save."I brought you some food," Anne says, settling gracefully beside me on the log. "I thought you might need something after your... ordeal."The pause before 'ordeal' makes my jaw clench. Like it was nothing. Like nearly dying was just an inconvenience."Thanks," I manage through gritted teeth."I was so worried when I heard
SOFIAMy fingers dig into the bark of the ancient oak as the Moonridge Pack assembles below. The Alpha's Hunt—a tradition older than memory, where mated pairs prove their unity before the entire pack. My stomach churns, but not from nerves about the hunt itself.It's Andrew, my mate and Alpha of the Moonridge Pack.I watch him stride through the crowd with the easy confidence of an Alpha, even if his pack barely commands respect among the greater territories. When I'd first met Andrew Grafton three years ago, that confidence had been intoxicating. Enough to make me walk away from everything I'd once been.Now it just feels hollow.For weeks now, he's been different. Distant. His eyes linger on Anne Stonehurst whenever she speaks, and his laughter comes too easily when she's near. Anne—daughter of Alpha Stonehurst, whose Iron Ridge Pack could crush Moonridge without breaking a sweat. Beautiful, connected, everything I apparently aren't anymore.I tell myself it's nothing, that I'm imag
