Artist

Hidden Identity

Independent

First Love

Forbidden Love

Forgiveness

For sixteen years, Dorothy Dares has perfected the art of invisibility. The quiet Beta's daughter. Ethan's weird sister. Magnus's little puppy. The pack sees what they expect to see: a forgettable girl sketching in corners. They have no idea she's D.R. Dares, a nationally recognised artist whose work is making waves far beyond pack borders. When Dorothy finally gathers the courage to give Alpha Heir Magnus Gibson a handcrafted Valentine, he tears it apart without a glance, mistaking her heart for a casual note. But Magnus's mistake haunts him, and piece by piece, he reconstructs what he destroyed. What he discovers changes everything. Now, a mate bond is forming before his coming-of-age ceremony. The Elders' political schemes are crumbling. Dorothy's secret identity is unravelling. And her estranged mother has returned, demanding a chance to apologise for years of cruelty. Dorothy spent her whole life hiding. But with Magnus at her side and the Moon Goddess confirming what her heart always knew, it's finally time to be seen.

Chapter 1
“Sorry, Magnus, I have something for you…” Dorothy said, softly holding out a card, “I hope you…”Magnus tore the card into pieces without a word or a look.Dorothy gasped and bolted from the lake where Magnus often hid from his friends and Alpha training when he needed space. His eyes widened with shock at her running form. Confusion gripped him until he looked down at the grass, noticing it wasn’t a note from his best friend; it appeared to be something else. He knelt down, his hands shaking as he pieced it back together. Horror washed over him as the card went back together. He swallowed hard as he put the last piece back together. It was a Valentine’s Day card she was asking for him to be her Valentine.‘She likes me?’ He thought to himself.-It appears so.- his wolf, Timber, replied -Good job you just broke her heart just as you tore up what she had made for us. Those roses look real, but they're not.-‘Fuck, what do I do now? She’s gone, and she’s good at masking her scent when

Chapter 2
"Dot? Are you in there?" Lila's voice calls from outside the shed.Dorothy quickly wipes her eyes. "Just working," she responds, her voice steadier than she feels.Lila pushes open the door, takes one look at Dorothy's reddened eyes and the aggressive sketch on her lap, and crosses her arms. "What happened?" she demands, loyalty radiating from her like heat.Meanwhile, Ethan feels the distress through their sibling bond ease slightly, though something still feels off. He rolls his shoulders, trying to shake the sensation as he continues his combat training. His wolf remains restless, pacing within him.Back at the packhouse, Magnus struggles to focus on the conversation happening around him. His father and Dorothy's father continue discussing logistics, mentioning materials and timeline, but all Magnus can think about is the torn Valentine and the look on Dorothy's face as she fled."...don't you think, Magnus?" His father's question pulls him back to the present.Magnus blinked, “Sor

Chapter 3
Dorothy's eyes widen slightly. Few people know her middle name, and fewer still would use her initials. She reaches for the envelope, her artistic fingers tracing the unfamiliar handwriting before carefully opening it."It's from the National Young Artists Competition," she breathes, her earlier heartbreak momentarily forgotten as excitement flickers across her features. "They've accepted my portfolio submission for the final round."Ethan Sr.'s face breaks into a proud smile. "That's wonderful news, sweetheart."Standing in the doorway, Lila bounces on her toes with suppressed excitement. "I knew they'd pick you! When's the final round? What do you need to submit?"Dorothy scans the letter, her mind already racing with possibilities. "It's in three months. I need to create a new piece specifically for the theme they've chosen." Her voice falters slightly as she reads further. "The theme is 'Vulnerability'."The irony isn't lost on her. Today of all days, being asked to create art abo

Chapter 4
-Her brother is there,- Timber warns. -This complicates things.-'I need to speak with her alone,' Magnus thinks, slowing his pace. 'If Ethan finds out what happened...'The thought remains unfinished, but both Magnus and his wolf understand the implications. Ethan's loyalty to his sister runs bone-deep. If he learns how Magnus hurt Dorothy, their friendship might not survive, and the harmony between future Alpha and potential future Beta could shatter before it's fully formed.Inside the office, Dorothy fidgets under her brother's scrutiny. "I need to start planning my submission," she says, eager to escape. "The theme is 'Vulnerability'.""Fitting," Ethan mutters, not missing how his sister flinches slightly at the word."I'll help you brainstorm," Lila offers quickly, linking her arm through Dorothy's. "We can head to your studio."Dorothy nods gratefully, allowing her friend to guide her toward the door. "Thanks, Dad," she says over her shoulder, the competition letter a bitterswe

Chapter 5
Dorothy nods, her eyes focused on the emerging lines taking shape beneath her skilled hands. Already, the outline of scattered roses, rose petals, glass and chocolates on the floor. Like someone had thrown gifts away to the floor.Back in the hallway, Magnus watches the space where Dorothy disappeared, the weight of his mistake growing heavier by the second. He can feel Ethan's curious gaze on him, but he can't bring himself to meet his friend's eyes."Actually," Magnus says, making a sudden decision, "I need to talk to Dorothy about something. Pack business. I'll catch up with you later."Before Ethan can respond, Magnus strides down the hallway in the direction Dorothy and Lila went, leaving his friend staring after him with confusion etched across his face. Something isn't adding up, and Ethan's wolf stirs uneasily within him.In the studio, Dorothy's hand moves with increasing confidence across the paper. The scattered rose petals take shape, each one detailed with remarkable prec

Chapter 6
The words catch in Dorothy's throat as a lifetime of holding back crashes against the raw vulnerability of this moment. She turns to face him, her eyes shifting from blue to green as determination takes hold."Because I see you," she says simply. "Not the Alpha's son or Ethan's friend. Just you."Magnus feels the weight of her words like a physical touch. In a pack where his identity has always been defined by his future role, the idea that someone sees beyond it is both terrifying and exhilarating."I've watched you for years," Dorothy continues, her artist's eye for detail evident in her words. "How you slip away to the lake when the expectations become too much. How do you help the pups learn to swim every summer without being asked? The way you leave food by old Mrs Harmon's door but never take credit."She takes a deep breath, her hands fidgeting at her sides. "I notice things. It's what I do. And everything I've noticed about you... I've liked."Outside, Lila hears the raw hones

Chapter 7
Dorothy doesn't turn around, but her pencil pauses briefly over her sketch, the only acknowledgment she offers. Her mind races with conflicting emotions: relief at finally speaking her truth, fear of what might come next, and beneath it all, a treacherous hope that refuses to be extinguished despite her best efforts.As the door closes behind the three visitors, Dorothy releases a shuddering breath. She's alone now with the sketch that emerged from her pain, a physical manifestation of vulnerability that suddenly feels too raw to face.Across the packhouse grounds, Magnus walks silently beside Ethan, acutely aware of his friend's sideways glances. The weight of the unspoken truth hangs between them, made heavier by years of friendship and loyalty."What's really going on?" Ethan finally asks, stopping beneath a towering oak tree that marks the boundary between the training grounds and residential areas. "And don't give me that commission crap. My sister doesn't do commissions."Magnus

Chapter 8
Dorothy sighs, setting down her pencil. "There is no commission. That was just an excuse for Ethan."Understanding dawns on Lila's face. "You're protecting him. After what he did.""It's complicated," Dorothy says, turning back to her sketch. The broken heart takes shape beneath her fingers, each shard rendered with painful precision.Outside, Ethan paces beneath the oak tree, his wolf's restlessness mirroring his own. Something has happened between his sister and his best friend, something significant enough to send Dorothy into tears and Magnus into an uncharacteristic state of distraction. The protective instinct that has guided his relationship with Dorothy since childhood urges him to demand answers, yet something holds him back.Perhaps it's the memory of Dorothy's fierce independence, her repeated insistence that she doesn't need his protection. Or perhaps it's the respect he holds for Magnus, forged through years of friendship. Whatever the reason, Ethan finds himself caught b

Chapter 9
Across the packhouse, Dorothy sits alone in her bedroom, carefully adding final touches to her sketch. The broken heart-shaped box now lies amid scattered rose petals, each one rendered with painful precision. In the corner of the page, almost hidden in shadow, is a small wolf figure watching from a distance.Her phone buzzes with a text from Lila: "Dinner in 5. You coming?"Dorothy sighs, setting aside her sketch. She doesn't feel like facing the pack tonight, especially not with the possibility of seeing Magnus across the dining hall. Yet hiding away would only fuel gossip and draw unwanted attention."On my way," she texts back, reluctantly rising to change into fresh clothes.In the communal dining hall, pack members gather in their usual social clusters. Ethan stands with his training partners, his eyes repeatedly scanning the room for signs of his sister or Magnus. His wolf remains restless, sensing the unresolved tension."Looking for someone?" asks Cole, one of his training pa

Chapter 10
Magnus rises quickly, ignoring the curious glances from the other wolves at the high table. His long strides carry him swiftly toward the exit, following the fading scents of Dorothy and Ethan into the night air.In her studio, Dorothy lights the old oil lamps that cast a warm, flickering glow over her workspace. She prefers their gentle illumination to the harsh overhead lights, especially when working on emotionally charged pieces. The sketch of the broken heart-shaped box lies on her desk, where she left it, waiting to be developed into something more substantial.She runs her fingers lightly over the drawing, feeling the graphite smudge beneath her touch. Vulnerability. The competition theme seems to mock her now, demanding that she transform her personal pain into something universal, something worthy of national recognition."It's good," Ethan's voice comes from the doorway, making her start. "Really good, actually."Dorothy whirls around, instinctively moving to shield the draw
