LOGINFor three grueling years, Luna Serena kept Thornblood Pack on its feet patiently awaiting the return of her mate, Alpha Caden Thornblood, who was fighting valiantly on the front lines, leading his warriors. She knew she was unmarked but believed she was loved. That was until that illusion was shattered upon her mate's arrival with a rogue Lilliana, his fated mate heavy with pup. Cast aside by the very man she had given everything, she she leaves knowing his pack will crumble in her absence and when he comes for her she already stands beside the most powerful man in the continent, the Lycan King.

He didn't look at Penelope or Gale; his cold, calculating eyes fixed solely on me, as if the rest of us were mere shadows unworthy of notice. The advisor’s dark, tailored robes whispered against the stone floor with every measured step, the Obsidian crest embroidered on his chest gleaming ominously in the torchlight."The King has been made aware of the situation," the advisor stated, his voice completely devoid of emotion, flat as the edge of a blade. "He is aware of the debt. He is aware of the attempt to hide the collateral. And he is aware of the pathetic, desperate state of this pack."He held up the leather-bound folder like a weapon, the embossed crest catching the flickering light. "I have the Obsidian half of the treaty here. The signatures are authentic. The blood-pact is verified. There is no escape from this covenant, girl. Not for your father. Not for you
Serena’s POVThe silence in the tower was no longer just empty; it was a weight, pressing down on my lungs until every breath felt like a struggle against the air itself. Penelope was curled into a ball on the stone floor, her silent tears soaking into her dress, while I paced the limited length of the chamber. The historian’s words—the collateral, the promise, the final entry—played over and over in my mind like a broken record. I wasn't just a daughter. I wasn't just a rejected mate. I was a debt. A commodity to be bartered, traded, and claimed by the highest bidder."He came for me," I whispered, the reality finally sinking into my bones. "He didn't come for the pack. He didn't come for my father's taxes. He came because he knew I was here.""What are we going to do?" Penelope asked, her voice small and broken. "If he takes you, he’ll take you to the capital. He’ll lock you away in an Obsidian fortress. You’ll never be free, Serena.""I am not going anywhere," I snapped, then im
Serena’s POVThe heavy iron door of the high tower groaned, pulling me from a cold sleep. I sat up quickly, my heart hammering against my ribs. The stone floor was freezing, biting through my thin clothes. Penelope shifted beside me in the dark, her eyes fluttering open in raw panic."Who is there?" I called out, my voice echoing in the small room. I moved in front of my sister, shielding her with my body.A hooded figure slipped through the narrow gap before the heavy door clicked shut. The noise cut off the harsh draft. The figure lowered his dark hood, revealing the pale face of Arthur, the pack historian. He held a flickering candle in one hand and a thick book tucked tightly under his other arm."Arthur?" I whispered, scrambling to my feet. I rubbed my arms to ward off the chill. "How did you get past the guards? If my father catches you here, he will kill you.""The guards are distracted," Arthur replied, his voice a breathless, frightened rasp. He placed the candle on a smal
Serena’s POVThe dawn light was gray and thin when the tower door finally creaked open. It wasn't my father. It was an elderly servant, his hands trembling as he brought in a tray of cold porridge. He didn't look me in the eye, his gaze fixed firmly on the dusty floorboards."Eat," he muttered. "The Alpha is busy with the King’s morning council. You have an hour of exercise in the inner courtyard. Do not attempt to leave."He turned to leave, but I stepped into his path, my voice low and urgent. "Wait. I need to see Arthur. The pack historian. Please."The old man’s face went pale. "The historian is in the archives, but he is not to be disturbed, especially by—""Tell him it is about the Obsidian seal," I interrupted, my heart pounding. "Tell him the truth about the debt is coming out."The servant hesitated, his eyes darting toward the heavy door. He knew the risks. He knew that my father’s wrath was a fire that consumed everything in its path. But he also knew the rumors. He knew th
Serena’s POVThe cabin felt like a cold, hollow shell. I sat at the small, wobbly table, the wooden surface rough beneath my palms. My hands were shaking, but I forced myself to grip the pen. I had to write this. It was the last thing I would ever do for the Thornblood pack. Every word felt like
Caden's POVThe air in the master suite was thick with the scent of lilies, a cloying, suffocating perfume that seemed to cling to the velvet drapes and the expensive new rugs. I stood by the balcony, the night air cool against my skin, watching the moonlight pool on the floorboards where Serena h
Serena’s POVThe midnight deadline pressed against my spine like a blade, but fear had burned away hours ago. All that remained was cold, calculated resolve. I moved through the pack house like a ghost in my own home, heading for the study. I needed the last of my private files before I disappeared
Serena’s POVThe air in the pack house main hall was thick with the scent of lilies and cold judgment. I stood at the center of the room with a very stiff stance, watching the elders of the Thornblood pack shift uncomfortably on their velvet-lined benches. These were the same men and women who ha
