登入I married the most feared Alpha in the North for one reason—a contract. Kael Draven was ruthless, powerful, and the man my family had every reason to fear. To him, I was nothing more than the daughter of his enemy, a bride he could use to fulfill his revenge. Our marriage was never supposed to become love. But somewhere between stolen glances, heated arguments, forbidden touches, and nights when hatred began to feel dangerously close to desire, I fell for the man who was supposed to destroy me. Then I discovered the truth behind our marriage. And I ran. Five years later, I had built a life far away from the Alpha who once owned my heart—with one secret I had protected all these years. A daughter. His daughter. When Kael finally finds me, the man standing before me is no longer the Alpha I remember. He's a father who never knew his child existed. A man demanding answers. And the only person I swore I would never love again. But some bonds cannot be broken—not even by distance, betrayal, or five years of silence. Because I may have escaped the Alpha once. This time, I'm not sure my heart will let me run.
查看更多The darkness felt different.It wasn't simply the absence of light.It felt alive.Every instinct inside me screamed that something was wrong.I stood frozen in the bedroom while Amara remained beside me.Outside, the estate had erupted into chaos.I could hear wolves running.Guards shouting orders.Weapons clashing.And somewhere in the distance—Kael's wolf.One deep, furious growl after another.“Luna.”Amara's voice pulled me back.I looked at her.“Are you all right?”“I don't know.”My hand remained over my stomach.That strange sensation was still there.Faint.Almost like a distant pulse.Amara stepped closer.“Tell me exactly what you felt.”“A heartbeat.”Her expression changed.“You're certain?”“I heard it.”“Where?”I looked down.“Here.”Amara's eyes widened.She carefully placed her hand over mine.For several seconds, she said nothing.Then she closed her eyes.“What?”“I need a moment.”My heart pounded.“Amara.”She opened her eyes.“I can feel something.”I swallow
For the first time in days, the estate was quiet.Too quiet.After the attack, everyone had been ordered to remain inside the main territory. The gates were heavily guarded, patrols doubled, and every unfamiliar face was being questioned.Yet despite all the chaos surrounding us, I woke up feeling strangely peaceful.Maybe it was because Kael was still beside me.His arm was loosely wrapped around my waist, his breathing slow and steady.I turned toward him.For someone who was terrifying enough to make an entire council fall silent, he looked almost harmless while sleeping.Almost.I smiled.Then his eyes opened.“You're staring.”I immediately looked away.“I wasn't.”“You were.”“I was checking if you were alive.”He smirked.“Disappointed?”“Maybe.”He pulled me closer.“Liar.”I laughed softly.For a few seconds, neither of us spoke.Then I remembered his words from the previous night.*A family.*My smile slowly faded.“Kael?”“Hmm?”“Do you really mean it?”He opened his eyes.
The first alarm sounded before sunrise.One long howl.Then another.Then dozens.I woke up with my heart pounding.For one terrible second, I didn't know where I was.Then I felt it.Kael's arm was around my waist.He was already awake.“Stay here.”I immediately sat up.“What happened?”“Attack.”My stomach dropped.“Where?”“West gate.”He reached for his shirt.I climbed out of bed.“I'm coming.”“No.”“Kael—”“Elara, stay inside.”“I can help.”“You don't know what you're dealing with.”“And neither do you.”He stopped.I walked toward him.“You said we weren't running anymore.”His jaw tightened.“I remember.”“Then don't ask me to hide.”He stared at me for a long moment.Finally, he sighed.“Stay beside me.”I smiled faintly.“Deal.”The western courtyard was chaos.Guards were running toward the gates.Wolves were shifting.The sound of fighting echoed beyond the walls.Kael immediately took command.“Close the inner gates!”“Move the wounded to the east wing!”“No one enters
The next morning, the entire estate felt different. Or maybe it was me. After everything we'd discovered beneath the house, I couldn't look at the pack the same way. Every face made me wonder. Every whisper sounded suspicious. Every unfamiliar heartbeat made my wolf restless. But there was one thing I was certain about. Kael. I trusted him. Maybe that was the most dangerous thing of all. Because somewhere between the contract, the hatred, the secrets, and the lies… I had fallen in love with him. And now everyone knew that he loved me too. That made me vulnerable. The moment I entered the dining hall, the conversations stopped. Dozens of wolves looked at me. Some curious. Some afraid. Some openly hostile. I kept my head high. Kael entered behind me. The silence became absolute. He walked toward his seat. Then stopped. Instead of sitting at the head of the table, he pulled out the chair beside him. “For you.” I blinked. “Kael.” “Sit.” Several council members
