LOGINFor three years, I’ve been stuck in a contract with a man who calls himself my fiancé, a chronic cheater who treats me like a trophy and a tool. But everything changed the night of the auction. I went only because I heard whispers that a sacred artifact, a relic tied to my pack’s downfall, would be up for bidding. That relic could save us. I needed it more than my next breath. What I didn’t expect… was him. Damon Cross. The man every Alpha in the city feared. The man who could freeze a room with one look and burn it down with the next. To my wild shock, he was my fiancé’s powerful, ruthless uncle, and the one man I should never want. He unexpectedly got the artifact I wanted. I rushed after him and seeing him head to his car, I yelled. “Hey!” He stopped. Looked down at me with heat in his gaze as I ran up to him, panting. “Give it to me,” I said, holding out my hand. He stepped closer, shadows clinging to his shoulders. “Can you buy it for double the price?” I blinked, his coldness like a slap. Did he not remember me? Then the smirk came. “Tell me, my lovely ex-girlfriend.”

The elder had seemed sincere, but I'd learned the hard way that sincerity could be faked. The parchment could be forged. The seal could be stolen.I didn't know what to believe.But I knew I couldn't face him. Not yet. Not calmly.
Lana's POV The days settled into a rhythm. Peace, fragile but real, wrapped around the valley like the morning mist. I woke each dawn beside Damon, his arm heavy across my waist, his breath warm on my neck. We'd lie there for a moment, pretending the world outside didn't exist.
Lana's POV The new pack had bones now. Sturdy ones. Cabins lined the valley floor, smoke curling from their chimneys. The central hall stood near the altar, its doors open to anyone who needed warmth, food, or counsel. Trenches and traps guarded the gorge, hidden beneath snow and shadow, ready for the enemy we knew would come.
Lana's POV We couldn't stay where we were. My father's alliance knew our position—had scouts watching our borders, tracking our movements, waiting for the right moment to strike. If we remained, we'd be pinned down, surrounded, destroyed piece by piece.Damon found the valley on an old map, hidden in the archives of the pack library. A place between the glacier and the forest, tucked into the mountains where no one had lived for generations."Easily defensible," he said, tracing the path with his finger. "One entrance. Steep walls on three sides. Fresh water from the glacier melt. Game in the forest."I looked at the map. At the narrow pass, the high ridges, the way the terrain funneled any attacker into a kill zone."It's perfect," I said."It's home."---We moved at dawn.The pack traveled in silence, wolves and humans and children bundled against the cold. The injured rode in carts pulled by those strong enough to walk. The Grail pulsed at the center of our column, its light a be
Chapter 92 Lana’s POV “Ugh, that man is a complete jerk,” I grunted, tossing my phone onto the rumpled bedsheets. It bounced once before settling into the soft duvet. I flopped onto my back, staring up at the blank white ceiling, my arms flung out to the sides. But closing my eyes was pointless.
Lana’s POV My eyes stung, feeling the distinct heat of the sun on my face. When consciousness clawed its way back to me, it felt like shards of glass scraping through my skull. My head ached mercilessly, pulsing in a rhythm that made me wince as soon as I cracked my eyes open. Every muscle in my b
