The light in the room fell across his face and for a moment I thought I was still dreaming. My chest tightened until I couldn’t breathe.

“Alpha… Ryker?” The name broke from my lips like a curse all at once.

He stood there as if he had never been gone as if six months of silence hadn’t hollowed me out, as if he had only stepped out for air and returned the same night. His shoulders filled the space, his presence pressed against me, raw and familiar.

I pushed myself up, my hands trembling. “You—how—” The words tangled in my throat, dying before they could form.

He didn’t answer. He crossed the room in two long strides and before I could think, before I could run, before I could even decide if I wanted to, his arms were around me.

The air left my lungs when he lifted me. My body betrayed me — I melted into him. The scent of him darkly filled my senses. My heart screamed to hold him, to cling, to weep into his chest and demand why he had left me.

But before I could wrap my arms around him

    Valentina's POV “And from this moment, Valentina Odessa Isolde is crowned Luna!”The roar of voices filled the great hall, shaking through the stone walls and rolling over me like a tidal wave. My name was being carried in the mouths of men and women who had once looked at me with disgust who had said I was unworthy of life but tonight, their voices shouted. They declared me Luna.For a heartbeat I couldn’t breathe. The crown sat heavy on my head, pressing against my temples, but the weight felt like vindication. Years of enduring, of waiting, of walking through fire only to be met with silence and punishment, were now wrapped in this moment. I had survived. I had been chosen.I smiled. For the first time in years, I allowed myself to smile without fear of what it might cost me.Ryker wasn’t here, but his shadow was I guess. His decisions, all of them had carved the path that led me to this place. He had gone, vanished into the air of his own choices, and still the mark he left could

    Ryker’s POVThe moment I stepped out of that room her words rang in my head, I couldn’t shake off, they wrapped around my ribs, sank into the cracks of my chest and lingered where they had no business staying. If I’m going to live in a cage, I’d rather live in yours. I clenched my jaw as I walked down the hall, refusing to let the weight of them bend me. They were just words, a desperate survival tactic from a woman who didn’t understand me, who couldn’t understand me. That’s all I wanted them to be, yet the echo of her voice followed me step for step and it was more suffocating than the bloodbane that had nearly killed me.“Look at you,” Raccoon’s voice broke into my thoughts as he appeared at my side, walking with that easy swagger that grated on me when I was in no mood for it. “You look very healthy for someone who just clawed his way back from death.” He smirked, the taunt sharp but familiar, testing me like always. I didn’t take the bait.“I’ll be leaving the pack.” The words fe

    Valentina's POVRaccoon’s knock startled me. The sound felt too intrusive for a room filled with the fragile tension of breath just returned.I didn’t expect Ryker to move that quickly.In the blink of an eye, I was no longer hovering above him. He had flipped me, his palm pressed against my lower back, his weight pinning me down. My breath caught in my throat. The sheet tangled around us, his arm wrapping it tight like a net to conceal what we were doing or what it appeared we were doing.He didn’t look at me. His jaw was tight, his lips parted slightly as if he was unsure what had just happened, why his body reacted on instinct. But he didn’t say anything.And the door creaked open. “Alpha,” Raccoon said, voice bright and filled with stunned joy. “You're awake…”His steps paused, eyes darting between Ryker’s barely clothed body and the way the sheet shifted slightly around both of us. He blinked. “Wait—were you two…?”Ryker turned his head slowly, his eyes colder than ever. “Don’t f

    Valentina’s POV I leaned closer, until my bare breasts brushed against his chest. The closeness stirred something primal inside me. His scent was faint but still lingering, it hit me like wildfire. Dark, earthy, masculine. Ryker but his body didn’t move. I pressed my lips against his collarbone. Softly. Tenderly. Then again, more firmly. “Feel me,” I murmured against his skin. “Your mate. The one you dragged into this hell. If you want to survive, then claim me like you always swore you would.” Still nothing. I ground my hips gently against him, coaxing, urging, pleading without words. I wasn’t just offering myself, I was begging him to choose life. My body began to tremble. The intimacy of this moment wasn’t just physical. It felt like I was handing him my soul, layer by layer, hoping he’d take it. And then… His fingers twitched. I gasped, sitting up slightly. “Alpha?” His hand shot up roughly— and gripped my thigh hard, claws half-formed digging into my skin. His head til

  • Fated To My Alpha Enemy   The instructions

    Valentina’s POV “Listen to me carefully,” Raccoon said, his voice low and serious, like he hated every word that was about to come out of his mouth. I didn’t speak. I couldn’t. The air was too thick. My throat too tight. “Right now,” he continued, “his body is shutting down. Whatever magic keeps him tethered to this plane is fraying, minute by minute. His healing factor is gone. His wolf isn’t responding. Not even his vampire instincts. He’s dying, Valentina.” I felt my knees weaken, but I held my ground. Raccoon exhaled, then stepped closer. “You’re his mate,” he said, softer this time. “That means your body, your scent, your blood all of it can pull him back. But you have to be willing to cross a line most people wouldn’t even dare think about.” I looked at him, trying to keep my voice steady. “What are you saying?” “I’m saying…” — he paused, glancing once more at Ryker — “you need to trigger his instincts. Not the Alpha. Not the wolf. But the man and the beast that crave yo
