The dramatic fainting spell Katherine had pulled in the morning had successfully bought her a temporary escape. Duncan had been forced to call the pack physicians to transport her back to the mansion, halting his interrogation. But Amora knew the peace wouldn't last. A liar like Katherine would only stay down long enough to dream up a deadlier plot.

By eight o’clock that evening, the grand kitchen of The Crescent Hearth was entirely quiet. Amora had stayed late today and Duncan had no option th

  • His Rejected Mate, His Contract Wife   Your Words are Law

    The morning sun rose sluggishly over the southern border, but it brought no warmth. Its pale light only exposed the raw, ugly scars left on the valley.The clearing, which had been prepared for a peaceful alliance festival, looked like a wasteland. The green grass was torn to pieces, replaced by deep, muddy craters where Malphas’s shadow magic had struck the earth. Thick, gray smoke still drifted from the edges of the forest, carrying the foul, burning stench of silver poison.Dozens of warriors from both the Silver Crescent and the Wayne packs were scattered across the area, limping toward the medical tents. The ground was littered with broken iron arrows and torn leather armor. The victory had been won, but the price was etched into the blood-stained mud.Near the main medical tent, Amora Cortez sat on a wooden crate. A thick wool blanket was draped over her shoulders, but she couldn't stop shivering. Her face was dangerously pale, her striking emerald eyes dull with absolute exhaus

  • His Rejected Mate, His Contract Wife   Shield of the Luna

    Hundreds of arrows, with their tips bubbling with a sickly green, lethal silver poison, descended toward the place everywhere. Duncan was still pinned on top of Malphas, his claws buried in the giant’s throat. Zach was on his knees at the edge of the ring, panting heavily, his small body completely exhausted after unleashing his royal roar. Heidi stood right behind him, her small hands clutching her brother’s shirt, her eyes wide with fear as the deadly rain fell straight toward them.There was no time for Duncan to move. There was no time for Oscar to swing his blade.But inside Amora’s chest, the ancient maternal instinct did not just spark, it erupted into an all-consuming wildfire.A blinding, snow-white light exploded from her skin, so bright that it completely erased the crimson stain of the blood moon. Her human shape melted instantly, her bones shifting and expanding with a fluid, majestic grace. In less than a second, the elegant woman in the forest-green dress was gone.Sta

  • His Rejected Mate, His Contract Wife   "LEAVE MY DADDY ALONE!"

    On this third morning, the air was freezing. A thin layer of frost coated the ground, but it didn't last long.By the end of the first ten minutes, the frost was entirely melted, replaced by a steaming, violent splash of red.The duel was a bloodbath.Duncan moved with a terrifying, wild speed that shocked everyone watching from the perimeter. He didn't use the clean, elegant martial arts of the royal palace. He didn't waste time trying to form energy shields that would only invite Malphas’s corruption. He was fighting the mountain way low to the earth, using the slippery mud to his advantage, shifting his weight just before the giant's massive fists could connect.But Malphas was way older and stronger, and his raw physical power was catastrophic. Every time his eight-foot frame collided with Duncan, the sound of tearing flesh and bruising muscle echoed across the valley.Duncan’s gray shirt had been completely ripped away. His chest was covered in long, jagged claw marks that drippe

  • His Rejected Mate, His Contract Wife   White Dire Wolf Luna Cares

    Three days. The number hung over the place like a heavy, dark cloud. The unnatural red tint of the blood moon had faded, but the psychological chill Malphas left behind remained. In seventy-two hours, the duel would begin. If Duncan won, the South would find peace. If he lost, Amora and her children would become the property of a monster.On the first morning of the countdown, the mountain mist was thick and freezing. Down in the mud of the estate’s private training yard, two men stood facing each other.Duncan Alonso had stripped down to a simple black pair of training trousers. The thick white medical bandages around his ribs were tightly bound, but a faint smudge of pink showed that his internal wounds were still bleeding from the strain of his previous exertions. His silver-grey eyes were fixed on the man opposite him.Oscar Wayne stood with his boots planted deep in the damp earth. His massive, rugged arms were crossed over his broad chest, his blue eyes filled with a mixture of

  • His Rejected Mate, His Contract Wife   Choice of a King

    Duncan Alonso stood frozen, his extended claws trembling slightly as the sheer weight of Malphas’s words crashed into his soul. For five years, he had lived in a prison of guilt. He had blamed himself for being blind, for letting Katherine destroy his marriage, and for allowing his family to exile his fated mate. He had believed it was all his failure.But it hadn't been an accident. It had been a grand design. The puppet strings stretched all the way back to the dark northern territory, held firmly in the massive, scarred hands of Alpha Malphas."You..." Duncan’s voice was a low, fractured whisper. The silver light in his eyes flared violently, fighting against the crimson stain of the blood moon. "Every lie Katherine told... every piece of silver poison... it was all you.""Of course it was," Malphas chuckled, the sound vibrating through the dirt beneath their boots. The giant Ancient took a slow step forward, the dry grass crunching under his heavy weight. "Katherine was greedy,

  • His Rejected Mate, His Contract Wife   Just his Puppets

    The violent crimson light of the blood moon stained the meadow, turning the joyous festival into a living nightmare. The protective barrier stones at the edge of the Wayne territory did not just crack; instead they exploded into fine white dust, their ancient magic shattered by a raw, overwhelming force.The terrifying, metallic howl faded, leaving behind an eerie, suffocating silence. The music had stopped. The bonfires were nothing but dying blue embers. Hundreds of shifters stood frozen, their breath catching in their throats as a heavy, unnatural pressure dropped over the valley. It felt as if the air itself had turned to lead, making it difficult to even stand.Duncan stood firmly in front of Amora, his claws fully extended, his silver-grey eyes glowing with a lethal brilliance. Even with his chest tightly bound in medical bandages, his Alpha posture was completely unyielding. To her left, Oscar raised his heavy iron hunting blade, his massive chest heaving as his own Alpha aura

    Duncan gripped the steering wheel so tightly that the leather groaned under his palms. His knuckles were white. His mind was a chaotic storm, still echoing with the sound of the double-toned royal growl little Zach had unleashed in the town square. It was the ancestral strike. It was the undeniable

  • His Rejected Mate, His Contract Wife   Performance of a Lifetime

    The echoes of Zach’s thunderous, royal growl still vibrated through the crisp afternoon air of the Norwood Green town square. The massive Beta hunting hound was still shivering on its belly, refusing to look up, while the townspeople whispered in a frantic frenzy.Amora quickly scooped Zach into he

    The glossy, gold-embossed invitation sat on the wooden counter of Amora’s Hearth, reflecting the warm overhead lights. Oscar stood with his arms tightly crossed over his chest, staring down at the paper as if it were a venomous snake. "It’s a trap, Amora. A blatant, high-profile trap. The man was

  • His Rejected Mate, His Contract Wife   A Blood Test

    Amora pulled her wrist back with a sharp, violent jerk, breaking the physical contact between them. The golden-silver sparks of the mating bond died instantly, leaving a heavy, suffocating silence hanging over Main Street. Her heart pounded frantically against her ribs like a trapped bird. Her ski
