LOGINI was born wolfless. A disgrace to my pack and an embarrassment to my family._ On my 18th birthday, the Moon Goddess finally answered me. My fated mate… is the cold, ruthless Alpha heir, Kael Blackwood. But instead of love, all I got was humiliation. “In front of everyone, I, Alpha Kael, reject you as my mate. A wolfless girl like you isn’t worthy.” My heart shattered. My pack turned their backs on me. Just when I thought it couldn’t get worse, his twin brother stepped out of the shadows. Damon Blackwood. The rogue Alpha exiled for murder. Kael’s mirror image, but darker, crueler, and twice as dangerous. He looked at me with burning gold eyes and smirked, “Your mate rejected you? Good. That means you’re free for me to claim.” Now I’m trapped between two brothers bound by blood but torn by hatred. One who threw me away. One who wants to own me, mark me, and make me his—no matter what it costs. The question is… Can I survive being claimed by the rogue twin who kills without mercy? Or will I fall for the very monster my pack fears most?
View MoreThe assembly was set for noon. I didn’t sleep the night before. Not because I was scared. Because I knew whatever happened today would decide if Redwood lived or died. Every wolf in Redwood was there. Omegas from the barracks, still in their training leathers. Betas from the patrols, mud on their boots. Gammas from the fields, faces sunburned and tired. Even the elders who’d survived the purge sat in the front row, watching me like I was about to betray them. Sable stood across from us with fifty of her people. Calm. Patient. Like she already knew how this would end. Kade stood beside me on the platform. His hand brushed mine once. Not for comfort. For solidarity. He spoke first. “Redwood is changing,” he said. His voice carried over the courtyard. “It’s stronger than it’s ever been. But it’s not perfect.” Murmurs spread through the crowd. Some angry. Some hopeful. Mostly tired. Then it was my turn. I stepped forward. The wood under my
Peace didn’t look like what I thought it would. I thought peace would feel loud. Like cheers in the courtyard. Like fires burning late into the night. Like wolves finally laughing without looking over their shoulders. It wasn’t. Peace was quiet. Too quiet. The kind of quiet that made you check your knife twice and sleep with one eye open. A week after Corin died, the eastern villages stopped reporting in. At first I thought it was weather. The pass had iced over. Messengers couldn’t get through. Then day three passed. Then day four. “No smoke,” Kael said when we climbed the ridge at dawn. He pointed east. “No fires. No movement.” I frowned. “They should be butchering for winter by now.” Kade stood beside me, arms crossed. “We ride at noon.” We took ten wolves. Fast, light, no banners. If this was a trap, I didn’t want half the pack walking into it. The road to the eastern villages was empty. No carts. No footprints. No scent of cooking meat. Just wi
Moonshadow Pack wanted to talk about my father. That meant it was either a trap or a truth I wasn’t ready for. I chose to go anyway. Because if there was even a chance my father didn’t die in that hunter attack, I had to know. Because if it was a trap, I’d walk into it with Kade and Kael at my back and burn it down. We rode south at dawn. Three wolves. No escort. No banners. Just me, Kade, and Kael. Alpha Kaelen met us at the border stones. Tall, silver-haired, with eyes like a storm. Behind him stood twenty wolves, all armed. Not a show of force. A show of seriousness. “Aria,” Kaelen said. “Alpha Kaelen,” I said. “Walk with me.” We walked into the woods. No guards. No backup. Just history and secrets between us. When we were deep enough, Kaelen stopped and pulled out a small wooden box. Old. Carved with Redwood’s sigil. “Your father gave me this the night before he died,” he said. My heart stopped. “What is it?” “Evidence,” he s
Riding alone to meet Roric felt different this time. Last time I was carrying anger. This time I was carrying a journal, a dead packmate’s name, and the weight of knowing exactly what I was fighting for. The border stones were empty when I arrived. No wolves. No ambush. Just Roric standing by the old oak, arms crossed, watching the south road like he expected trouble. “Aria,” he said when I stopped ten feet away. “Roric.” “Walk with me.” We walked into the woods. No guards. No backup. Just two wolves who’d killed enough people to know when to stop talking and start listening. When we were deep enough that neither pack could see us, he stopped and pulled out a map. Not Blackridge’s map. Mine. Redwood’s border map, marked with red X’s in my own handwriting. “You’ve been busy,” he said. I glanced at it. “Vex’s old routes. Rogue drop points. I’ve been closing them.” Roric nodded. “Good. Because they’re not done.” He pointed to a spot on
The gate slammed shut behind me with a sound that felt final.No guards. No Kael. No Kade. Just me, the forest, and a week to figure out my life.Kael had set me up in a small cabin on the edge of Dark Ridge territory. No locks on the doors. No guards at the windows. “Trust,” he called it. I ca
I should’ve killed him.The moment Kael dragged Aria out of my ballroom, I should’ve shifted and ripped his throat out in front of everyone.But I didn’t.Because if I did, the council would declare me unfit to rule. And if I’m not Alpha, I can’t protect her.So I stood there. I watched my twin ste
I didn’t sleep.How could I, when the room Kael gave me felt like both a gilded cage and the safest place I’d been in a year?The bed was huge, black sheets, silver trim. The walls were bare stone. No windows. Just a single steel door that I knew was locked from the outside. Kael didn’t trust me
Kael didn’t wait for my answer.One second he was in front of me, the next his arm was around my waist, pulling me against his chest. My protest died in my throat as the world tilted.“Kael!” Kade’s roar shook the chandeliers.“Try and stop me,” Kael said over his shoulder, not even looking back.T
