LOGINSYNOPSIS: I spent my whole life being told my wolf was weak and was always mocked for it. I believed it, right up until the moment a prince's hand brushed mine and the whole court realized what I was to him. And he still chose to humiliate me for it. They called it mercy when he offered to take me in, I called it an insult. So I refused in front of everyone, and raised my hand on a man no one dared touch. They banished me for it, they said I was disrespectful, a disgrace to my rank. I had to leave my Father and best friend for their safety. Two years alone, moving from territories to territories taught me things I never got to learn on my own in Ashenfall. Like how to survive with almost nothing, how to make poison – it was my means of survival since my wolf could barely do anything. I never expected a second mate bond while wandering as a rogue, talking more of the Supreme Alpha ofNightfall Sanctuary to look at me like I was worth keeping. I refused him too at first, but becoming his Luna made me learn the truth my whole life was built on — that my wolf was never weak, but it was stolen from me, by people who feared what I could become and that my mother's murder wasn't the accident everyone claimed.
View MoreRHYANNE The town my father described as "small and quiet," turned out to be even smaller and quieter than I had imagined.I'd walked for about two days before I reached the town, and when the first rooftops finally came into view, my stomach sank. Ashenfall's poorest quarter would have looked like a noble's estate next to this place. Buildings were leaned against each other like they were the only thing holding one another up, roofs patched with mismatched wood and scraps of hide, even the smell of the place— smoke, damp earth, some faintly rotten odor underneath it all— clung to the back of my throat the moment I passed the first house.Wolves moved through the narrow streets with their heads down, shoulders hunched. There was a particular kind of hollowness in it, the exhaustion of a place that had been forgotten, there were no guards patrolling, no markets bright with fresh goods. Just tired faces, thin dogs and children who watched me pass with eyes too old for their bodies.I u
CHAPTER 4RHYANNEThe hall erupted. It wasn't the scandalized murmuring from before— this was something bigger, a collective gasp that rippled outward and broke into a dozen overlapping conversations at once, nobles turning to each other with wide eyes and hands pressed to their mouths. Banishment. The word moved through the crowd like fire through dry grass.I couldn't even breathe. I understand what I'd done was reckless, I'd known there would be consequences— a reprimand, maybe, extra duties, some humiliation I'd have to swallow for months. But banishment? Banishment meant leaving everything I'd ever known, everyone I'd ever loved, cast out into territories that owed me nothing and would as soon let a lone omega starve as look at her twice."Your Majesty." My father's voice cut through the noise, thin and desperate, I'd never heard him sound like that before. He'd dropped to one knee in front of the dais, head bowed but voice carrying. "Please. Banishment— that's too severe a puni
CHAPTER 3RHYANNE"Are you insane?" Cassian's voice cracked through the silence like a whip, his hand still hanging in the air. "Do you have any idea what you just did?"I did. I knew exactly what I'd done.I didn't answer him, there was nothing left to say that wouldn't make this worse, it's best I kept my mouth shut at this point.The hall still hadn't found its voice, but it was coming back in pieces— whispers here, a scandalized breath there, building like a storm: slowly and then all at once."Did you see that?""She struck him. Struck the crown prince, in front of the entire court—""The nerve of her. The absolute nerve—""An omega, no less. A servant—"I kept my eyes down, and let the words roll over me. I'd been called worse, I'd survive being called worse again. What I hadn't expected was the sound of boots against marble— two palace guards moving toward me."Seize her," a wolf yelled from the crowd, gleeful, and eager for a spectacle, my pulse spiked, and my wolf stirred fa
CHAPTER 2RHYANNENo.No, no, no.This wasn't happening. This couldn't be happening. It must be some cruel trick of the moment, some misfire of nerves after a long night on my feet— that had to be the answer, because the alternative was standing three feet away from me with wine soaking into his boots and murder in his eyes.Anyone, I begged silently, a little part of me still frantic enough to bargain with a goddess I hadn't prayed to since I was a pup. Please, anyone but him. A stable boy, a traveling merchant, a wolf I'd never met and would never have to see again. Just anyone.Not Cassian Thorne, not this boy who'd spent years finding new ways to remind me exactly where I stood beneath him. It could be false. It had to be. Bonds could misfire, couldn't they? Some trick of proximity, or stress, of a hundred candles and too much wine in the air. I'd heard stories— half-bonds that faded, false pulls between wolves who weren't truly mates at all. This was one of them. It had to be tha
