Se connecterCorin never belonged to the Silver Stone Pack. As a mongrel born of a human mother, she exists at the bottom of the hierarchy desired, tolerated, and despised all at once. Her only refuge was Glacier, the flawless Alpha whose smile promised hope and whose attention felt like destiny. Corin believed her body and her future would finally belong to someone. On her eighteenth birthday, Glacier tears off the mask. Instead of a mating mark, Corin receives public humiliation and the truth: he murdered her father. The perfect Alpha is nothing more than a cold-blooded monster. Desire turns to shame. Love turns to blood. Fleeing into the rain, Corin collapses into the arms of Mason. The Alpha of the Brown Stone Pack is dangerous, tattooed, forbidden. He offers no fairy tales—only protection, vengeance, and a gaze that makes Corin feel something she never has before: wanted. Not pitied. Seen. As Glacier hunts her down, Mason teaches Corin how to command her body, her power and the hunger burning between them. In the shadows, through forbidden touches and rising tension, Corin realizes the truth: Her true haven was never in the light. It was always in the arms of a cruel Alpha.

The people in the ballroom counted down in chorus, their voices echoing like a jubilant roar against the marble walls. I felt my blood begin to boil, but this was not fever. Something ancient, something rising from deep within, pressed against my bones. My wolf had finally awakened. Midnight. I was eighteen. In that sacred instant, an invisible, blazing chain yanked at my soul. The sensation hit me with such primal force that I nearly collapsed. The bond. The tight, pulsing thread that chained my soul to another. I sensed the scent of cold ice and pine, and my instincts cried out in bliss. Glacier. He was my mate. Fate had not lied. His promises had not been empty. The bond vibrated between us, clear and undeniable. From the corner of my eye, I saw Mason, the Alpha of Brown Stone, suddenly turn away. His face darkened, his shoulders tensing as if he were in physical pain. He
Corin On the day of the ball, the Silver Stone estate looked like a dream, but for me everything felt tight and sharp with anticipation. This day was not only a celebration of peace between the two packs. Glacier had deliberately planned it for my eighteenth birthday. He said we would wait for midnight, when my wolf would finally awaken, and we would feel in our blood the bond that until now only our hearts had known. I worked all day as if my feet barely touched the ground. The ointment Glacier had given me worked wonders on my back. The wounds were still there, but they no longer screamed with every movement. When I was finally allowed to go up to my room, a huge white box was waiting on my bed. With trembling hands, I opened it. Beneath the silk paper lay a dress unlike anything I had ever seen. Golden silk that shimmered like liquid sunlight, edged with tiny sparkling stones. Beside it were delicate shoes and a note. “Tonight everyone will see who you are to me. I will b
Corin The dust hanging in the great hall and the smell of heavy velvet curtains burned my throat. I had been standing on the ladder all morning, cleaning the chandeliers and adjusting the decorations. My back no longer just hurt, it had gone numb. The places where the whip had struck throbbed and burned with every movement of my arms as my shirt tore at the wounds again and again. But I could not stop. Lumi was sitting comfortably in one of the armchairs in the center of the hall, sipping hot chocolate and watching my every move like a hungry predator. “There’s still a stain there, you mongrel,” she pointed at one of the crystals with a mocking smile. “If everything isn’t shining for tomorrow’s ball, my father will personally inspect your work. And you know he isn’t as forgiving as Martha.” I did not answer. If I spoke, I would only give her another excuse to torment me. A knot tightened in my throat and my eyes burned with exhaustion. I thought only of Glacier. Of the moment
Corin My room—if that damp, unfurnished hole at the end of the servant wing could even be called a room—was dark and suffocating. After fleeing the training field, I didn’t dare go to my mother. I didn’t want her to see my face, because she would have known immediately that something had happened. Mason’s touch still burned on my skin, a strange, tingling imprint I couldn’t wash away. My back was on fire. I tried to peel the blood soaked shirt off myself, but the fabric had fused to the lash wounds. Every tug drew a sharp hiss from my throat, tears streaming down my face. “Let this whole pack rot,” I whispered into the darkness. “Let all of them rot.” Then I heard scratching at the window. It was deliberate. Three short taps. My heart jumped hard. Glacier. With painful effort, I got up, draped a thin blanket over myself to hide my bloody back, and climbed out the window. He was waiting in the back garden, beneath the shadows of the old willow trees. When I saw his shape,
