LOGINJust as Kellen and I were about to have our bonding ceremony, his brother died in an accident. Kellen inherited the position of Beta of the Silver Moon Pack, along with the responsibility of caring for his late brother’s mate, Selah. She wanted to know how much I mattered to Kellen—so she sent a rogue after us. When I was gravely wounded by the rogue’s silver dagger and clinging to life, Kellen turned to protect Selah—who only had a scratch. “Selah’s fragile—this has terrified her. Just hold on a little longer, Celia!” I didn’t even have the strength to beg for help. I could only watch as he carried Selah in his arms and walked away, leaving me alone in the forest to die. The next time we met, he said, “If word gets out that you sent a rogue after Selah and hurt her, the Alpha will banish you from the pack. To calm her down, I have no choice but to hold a bonding ceremony with her! Once she bears the Beta heir, I’ll make it up to you.” I shook my head gently. No need to make it up to me. I was about to have a new mate anyway...

How does it feel when your long-term boyfriend, your former mate, rejects you in front of the whole world of yours for someone else?
It boils and stings inside you, right?
The same thing happened to the eighteen-year-old Aiva.

My heart clenched tighter with each word Lucas said.
"I, Lucas Larson, reject you, Aiva Red as my mate." These words threw cold water on me and all my dreams.
We had been for six years! Yes, six years. I had given all my teen years to him yet, he rejected me for a woman he had just known recently, after two months of our engagement declaration.
I smiled, not wavering a little bit as Lucas' face turned pale in shock. I scoffed, playing with my hair as if I was unbothered by all of it. "I do not accept your rejection, Lucas."
"Aiva, you!" He frowned, casting me a death glare when I chuckled.
I gritted my teeth, reaching out for our engagement ring as I pulled it out slowly and looked at it carefully with a smug face, before throwing it to him. "I, Aiva Red, reject you, Lucas Larson. And from now on, we shall have nothing to do with each other."
His teeth clenched as he went to grasp my shoulders in humiliation of what I had just done but I scoffed, turning to the opposite direction as I scurried out of the academy.
Six years of our relationship, and it was all gone just like that.
"Ugh…" I moaned, placing my hand above my chest while tears streamed down my cheeks. "Uhh…"
It hurt so much. The rejection was so much more hurtful than I imagined it to be. Just, why? Why did it have to fucking happen to me? We were all still happy yesterday.
"Ring, ring. Someone is calling." I flinched at the sound of the ringtone when I let out a laugh and wiped my tears before I picked up the phone.
"Hey, you bitch! I'm telling you if you do not pay back what you owe us within a week, we'll sell both you and your brother!"
"I-I…"
My heart thumped crazily as I heard his words while fear engulfed inside me.
My day couldn't have gone any more wrong.
Where should I get money now? I sighed, inwardly as he continued to curse me from the other side of the phone.
(Leo's Pov)
"Aiva," I murmured, smiling at her photo through my phone.
She was short, almost as if the Moon Goddess crafted her as a tiny little cute thing. Her dark curly hair fell up to her delicious-looking ass. It almost made me lose my control of my desire to choke her right there, fucking her in front of everyone. Her emerald green eyes were so innocent and deep as if she was reading away all my dirty desires about her. Her nose and ear piercings were unusual, but they only added to her sexiness.
And, she is the manager of the Bikers' Club, my employee. And, someone I could have never got for myself. Or, so I thought until she found me in my office that night, and I smelt her. "Mate. She was mine."
It was pure torture to watch her every day, shaking her ass while clearing all the bikes and doing her job. God knows, fucking how many times I almost lost control, and had to take care of by myself because of her. The worst days were when her worthless boyfriend tagged along with her. It made my blood boil, and I had to take care of myself not to kill him on the spot.
I thought that I would never get her. But, who knew her boyfriend to be so stupid as to lose her?
I knew how exactly to approach her and get her. And, I did.
I consoled her, yet, a dirty fact was that I was actually happy that the scum of her boyfriend left her. I do not know if it is a bad thought, but all I know is I got her.
She turned out to be my mate, and I vowed to myself never to leave her. I'll haunt her for my entire life.
Damned arrangement that I made with her. If she expected me to follow that, she is way too innocent. She is mine, and even if she wants to leave me, she is mine. Only mine.
I vow.

His shining golden hair was enough to catch anyone's eyes. Everywhere he goes, he becomes the main attraction. His dark eyes added to his beauty. But, what attracted the she-wolves and wolves alike were the strong bulging tanned muscles of him. He was well-trained. He was the Alpha of the Howl Pack by work, but a biker by passion.
His club was only meant to be a place of dealing with underground deals but it became something more to him when Aiva entered the club as the manager, and he broke his plans for her.
Vowing not to let anyone outside of the underground world in, he broke his promise. For HER. And, found his newfound obsession.
Just a sight, and he lost all his sanity, vows, mind, and heart. That was the power of Aiva over him. But that also made everything dangerous.
Aiva had just faced a heartbreak, will she allow herself to fall for her new boss, her new Alpha, her new Mate? Or, will she distance herself from him once and for all?
But there is one thing for sure. Leo wouldn't let her escape from him.
He could have gotten anyone he wanted but the only one he ever wanted, didn't want him the same way. Ironic. Yet, that didn't matter to him. As long as he is alive and she is as well, she belongs to him. Only him.
What would Aiva do when she finds out he is her second-chance mate: Be with him, or, Escape from his grasp?
But if she wants to escape, will Leo agree to it? Let his obsession, possessiveness, and love for her go just easily?
No.
Three days later, Selah was apprehended and returned to the Silver Moon Pack.She and those rogues had tried to escape pack territory, but Eric had already sealed off the forest. They were finally caught in the northern valley, and Selah was bound and brought to the central square.That day, almost every pack member came.Bonfires were lit in the center of the square. The Elders sat on the high platform, and Selah was forced to her knees on the ground.Her hair was disheveled, her face covered in dirt, but her eyes still burned with defiance.One of the Elders listed her offenses one by one, his tone ice-cold: colluding with rogues, exposing pack operations, killing their own, and turning pack members against each other.Any one of these charges would have carried a heavy price.When the Elder asked if she confessed, Selah threw her head back and laughed.The sound was high, wild, almost unearthly.“Confess? For what? I haven’t done anything wrong.” She lifted her head, her eyes blazin
By the time Kellen was brought to the infirmary, he had already lost too much blood.The silver dagger had nearly pierced through his chest. Silver was lethal to werewolves. If Eric hadn’t ordered the guards to bring him back immediately, he probably would have been dead before dawn.I couldn’t care less if he lived or died.But early the next morning, the Elders sent someone to fetch me.“Luna, Kellen is awake,” the guard said quietly. “He keeps calling your name.”I stay silent for a moment. In the end, I went to the infirmary.When I pushed open the door, the air was thick with the smell of blood.Kellen lay motionless on the bed—his face ashen, his chest swathed in thick bandages.Several healers stood nearby, speaking in low tones, their expressions grave.The moment they saw me, they bowed their heads. “Luna.”Kellen opened his eyes at that moment.His gaze landed on me, and something kindled in his eyes—hope, desperate and bright, as if I were his only rescue.“Celia...” His voi
After becoming Luna, I moved into the packhouse.Whenever pack members saw me, they would stop and bow their heads. “Luna.”I wasn’t used to my new role at first, but Eric was always by my side.When the Elders held their meetings, he even had me sit in.One time, an Elder questioned why I was there. He simply said, “She is my Luna. We don’t have to hide anything from her.”After that, no one dared object again.One night, Eric returned late after handling pack business.I was sitting in the courtyard, lost in thought. When I heard his footsteps, I looked up, and there he was, standing in the doorway.“Why are you still up?” He walked over and draped his coat over my shoulders.“I’m waiting for you,” I said with a small smile. “Another long day?”Eric gave a nod, though his expression darkened. “The Elders brought up Kellen today.”The name made my fingers clench, almost imperceptibly.I hadn’t laid eyes on Kellen since the bonding ceremony. I overheard that he’d been drinking heavily,
Kellen and Selah whipped around. There, walking toward them with steady steps, was Eric.He was tall and broad-shouldered, his dark eyes deep and unfathomable. The overwhelming presence of the Silver Moon Pack’s Alpha radiated from him, a tangible pressure in the air.Pack members who had gathered nearby, waiting to witness Kellen and Selah’s bonding ceremony, immediately bowed their heads in respect as Eric approached. “Alpha!”Eric walked straight to my side, his arm sliding around my waist, pulling me protectively against him.“Sorry, I’m late. Are you upset?”I shook my head, leaning into his embrace. The crisp, clean scent of pine—his unique scent, the scent of my Alpha—filled my senses.Kellen stared at Eric’s arm around me, his entire body going rigid. “Alpha, what... what are you doing? Celia is my mate!”“Your mate?” Eric let out a scoff. “Don’t make me laugh. You don’t deserve her! In the forest, when Celia lay dying from a silver dagger wound, you walked away with a scheming
I stepped aside from the doorway. “Alpha, please, come in and take a seat. I’ll get you some water.”Eric nodded and walked into the cabin.I poured him a cup of water, placed it in his hands, and sat down on the wooden stool across from him. For a moment, I didn’t know what to say, and the atmosphe
Back at my lonely little cabin, I stepped inside, turned, and secured the lock. Then I just stood there, back pressed against the door.No tears came. No frantic sobs. Only stillness—and the quiet weight of release.Over the next few days, I didn’t see Kellen again. I assumed he was busy preparing f
“I... I rushed Selah to the hospital, and when I came back to find you, you were already gone,” Kellen stammered, trying to defend himself. “I thought you’d run back on your own. I looked for you for days...”“Looked for me for days?” I let out a cold laugh. “I was lying in the infirmary for three d
When I woke up, I found myself in the infirmary.The wound on my shoulder blade sent sharp, searing jolts of pain through my nerves with the slightest movement.Relief washed over the healer’s face the moment he saw my eyes open.“You are finally awake. You’ve been out for three days! That silver da
