LOGINOn the day Selene Ashwood is meant to become Luna, the woman who once destroyed her life returns covered in blood, and with a single lie that shatters everything. Branded the daughter of a traitor since childhood, Selene has spent her life fighting for a place in the Moonfang Pack. When the Moon Goddess reveals Kael Draven, the future Alpha, as her fated mate, she dares to believe her darkest days are finally over. But when Kael's former lover accuses Selene of kidnapping and torture, the evidence is impossible to ignore, and the man who once swore to protect her chooses doubt over love. Imprisoned, betrayed, and hunted as a fugitive, Selene uncovers a secret capable of destroying every Alpha in the Northern Territories. Her father's execution was built on a lie, and the conspiracy that stole his life is far from over. As hidden enemies close in and old loyalties crumble, Selene must decide whether to reclaim the mate who abandoned her, or embrace a new path beside the mysterious Alpha willing to risk everything for the truth. In a world where love is tested by power, trust is more dangerous than claws, and every lie demands blood, one woman will rise from betrayal to rewrite her destiny. He chose her lies over me. Now he'll have to decide if the truth is worth losing me forever.
View MoreChapter Fifty Seven: Before He Gets There FirstThe plan had been two weeks.I revised it to four days in the corridor outside the pavilion while Freya was still holding the rider's message and Kael was still working through the implications and the session had not yet fully cleared."Four days," Lyra said, when I told her."Three if the road is good.""The road to Valdenmere has not been formally maintained in forty years," she said. "The road will not be good.""Then four days," I said. "We leave at first light tomorrow.""We?" she said."You, me, Maren, Cole, and anyone else who can be ready by dawn."Lyra looked at me with the particular expression she wore when she had already calculated the logistics of something and was deciding whether to present the problems in order of severity or chronological sequence."Maren will be ready," she said. "Cole is already packing, I will be ready." She paused. "Kael?"I had been thinking about that since the corridor."That is his decision,"
Chapter Fifty Six: The IntroductionThe morning of the council introduction I woke before dawn without meaning to, lay still for exactly the amount of time required to establish that going back to sleep was not going to happen, and got up.Lyra was already in the corridor, this did not surprise me."Tea," she said, handing me a cup before I could speak."How long have you been up?" I said."Long enough," she said, which was Lyra for I was not sleeping either and I did not want to talk about it.We walked down to the yard together in the darkness and stood with our cups in the particular pre-dawn quiet that I had come to associate, after weeks at these grounds, with the specific quality of the moments that mattered arriving the way they always did, without announcement, without the ceremony they perhaps deserved."Last time I walked into that pavilion," I said, "I was not entirely sure I was going to walk back out of it.""You walked back out," Lyra said."I did." I looked at the dar
Chapter Fifty-five : The Alpha Who RebuiltAlpha Davan arrived without a letter, exactly the way I had begun to expect she would.She came to the festival grounds six days before the council introduction, on a horse that was neither impressive nor neglected, which told me she had no interest in the signals that horses send in political contexts. She had two people with her whose posture suggested they were there for company rather than protection, which told me she trusted herself in an unfamiliar space and did not feel the need to perform readiness.She was perhaps fifty, with the particular leanness of someone who had rebuilt something from almost nothing and whose body remembered the years when there had not been enough of anything. Her eyes were the specific grey of a mountain morning, and she looked at everything she saw with the same degree of attention: the guard at the gate, the yard, the door, me, all receiving the same careful focus as though she had learned long ago that t
Chapter Fifty Four: The WorkThe self-governing settlement contacted us first.Not through a letter. Through a woman who appeared at the festival grounds gate nine days before the council introduction, travel worn and direct, who gave her name as Petra and her position as the settlement's elected speaker, and who said to the guard, with the particular economy of someone who does not waste words because words have cost her things before, that she had heard Valdenmere had an Alpha again and she would like to know what that meant for the people who had been living on Valdenmere land for twenty two years without one.I brought her inside myself."How did you hear?" I asked, once we were seated and Lyra had produced food that Petra accepted without ceremony, which told me she had been traveling for at least two days and had not eaten recently enough to perform indifference."The border pack leaders talk," she said. "Senna's people mentioned the letters. Greywood mentioned them less cha
