Mag-log in“I own every inch of your body, Astra,” he murmured behind her, his fingers tracing slow patterns along her thigh. Astra arched her back in response despising how her body responded to his touch. She was a captive. His captive. <> Few years earlier, Astra had fled on the night of her mating ceremony with Alpha Remus, leaving him consumed by rage. Thalor Caine, Remus’s exiled brother, was hired under contract to hunt her down, unaware that she was his fated mate. Now, Astra’s family is gone. unalived. And Thalor is blamed for their deaths. But then he does the unthinkable. He marries Astra and crowns her his Luna. Trapped as the Luna of the Alpha accused of killing her family, Astra is bound to a male she never chose and has sworn to hate. As enemies rise to tear them apart, Astra and Thalor must face the question: can love be born from ruin, are some betrayals beyond forgiveness?

I was going to the Alpha's chambers so I could consummate the bond I just accepted in front of hundreds of witnesses. As if the day could not get any worse. I'm a virgin and viewed to be so until I give it up to a deserving wolf who loves me with all his heart. Even that dream has been shattered.My heart pounds so hard I think it might break through my ribs.They bring me to a massive chamber at the top of the pack house. It's clearly been Remus's room, now Thalor's. "Come," one of the maids says softly, leading me to an adjoining bathing room.They strip off my blood-stained wedding dress and I stand there numb trying to process it all as they wash away the stains of Remus's blood from my body.They dry me and dress me in a thin white nightgown that leaves nothing to the imagination. I can see my breasts and hips through the f
ASTRAIt was a bloodmoon wedding ceremony. I wasn't looking forward to it at all. More so, that I was getting married to Alpha Remus...again.. and this time there was no running because there was nothing to lose. Everybody I knew and loved was dead. I look over to where Thalor stood amidst the crowd, one inch taller than the rest of the heads. His eyes bore through me, emotionless. I made a mental note to reject him once the wedding was over. The mate bond between us was thecruelest joke the moon goddess ever played.Guards flank me on both sides, their hands tight on my arms like they expect me to bolt. This is more like them bringing me for slaughter than an aisle for a wedding. The ceremonial grounds are packed with hundreds of wolves, all dressed in their finest, all watching me like I'm some spectacle. Their faces all shine red under the blood moon's crimson light. At the altar, Remus waits in black and gold ceremonial robes, his smile of pure victory. After everything, he's fi
ASTRAI wake up in a dungeon.My head pounds like someone's taken a hammer to it. When I move, something holds me down, I look at it and I see that they are silver chains binding me down. Silver has always been the bane of werewolves and I know that I won't be about to shift and break through my bones so long as there are silver. I'm in a dungeon and above me, I hear footsteps and laughter, the sounds of a pack going about their day while I rot in darkness.Lyanna Mordane didn't want to help me. She wanted to cage me.I remember arriving at Shadowveil with Thalor just before the sun spread over the skies. Thalor had led me through the gates, and past the guards who bowed to him like they knew him. Deep down I always have known that he shouldn't be trusted, mate or not, but I'd run out of options and I walked right into his trap.Lyanna was waiting in the courtyard. She smiled when she saw me, and it was not a friendly smile. "Astra Ashford," she said. "Welcome to Shadowveil."I bare
ASTRAI scream as he pops my shoulder blade into place. Tears stream down my face before I can stop them."Done," he says quietly, and his thumb brushes away one of my tears. The gesture is so gentle, it steals my breath away. He's too close for comfort so I step back, putting distance between us. "Why did you really help me?""I told you. I can't collect payment if you're dead.""Liar." I meet his golden eyes. "You could have just stopped them. You didn't have to kill them. And you definitely didn't have to look like you enjoyed it."His jaw tightens. "They hurt you.""So what? I'm just a contract to you. I'm just another bounty." I scoff."You're more than that."I spun my head towards him surprised, and the look on his face shows that he immediately regrets that he said that."I can't let you die," he continues, his voice rough. "I physically cannot let you die. Do you understand what I'm saying?"I roll my eyes. It suddenly clicks. If I die, the pain he would feel would be so excr
