Betrayed by her mate. Mocked by her best friend. Maya flees heartbreak—and ends up in the arms of a stranger who leaves her breathless... and broken all over again. One week later, she finds him again. On campus. In uniform. And now? He’s her stepbrother. But secrets don’t stop there. She’s the girl no one wants. He’s the hockey star with too much to lose. And the professor who calls her mate? He plays by rules no one dares question. One college. Two forbidden bonds. And a girl torn between dominance, danger, and desire. This isn’t just about the game anymore. This is obsession. This is payback. This is war on ice.

“Yes, baby…” I heard a moan the moment I stepped into the hallway of prince Ashen, my boyfriend and mate's mansion. Followed by the unmistakable sound of skin slapping skin, and a guttural growl. I wasn't supposed to be here today. I had quickly dropped by to pick up my science textbook that I had left in his apartment yesterday. I froze. Was he cheating on me? Ohhhh… no. This can't be happening right? I forced myself to move towards the room. The door stood ajar, just enough for me to peek in. The air ripped off my lungs as I tried to understand the scene unfolding in front of me. My body was trembling so much and my eyes were already burning with tears. Ashen Whitmore—the prince heir of my pack—Crimson Dusk Pack—was there… but not alone. Standing in front of him was Lyra Brooks—my best friend. She was on her knees, her fingers digging into his thighs and Ashen was thrusting his cock into her mouth like some slut from the slumps. “You…. slut,” Ashen growled in pleasure, his head thrown back. “Take all of it. Yes, baby… I love it. That Maya can never compare to you.“ This was my childhood best friend of twelve years, my first love and boyfriend of six months, slandering me at the slightest opportunity. I swallowed past the bile rising in my throat. “Ashen!“ I choked out. Their heads snapped towards me, but they didn't stop. Instead Ashen groaned in pleasure, eyes dark like he was about to reach climax. Lyra's lips curled into a smirk. And just like that, he pulled out of her mouth, and she swallowed his cum like the slut that she is. This was it. This was the highest level of disrespect and betrayal anyone can get. As much as I wanted to let my tears fall and scream the place down, I knew I couldn't. This was no time nor place for weakness. I have to confront them. I forced my legs further into the room. “You whore! How can you be screwing my mate?! You're my best friend for God's sake!“ I roared, my voice surprisingly steady. Lyra didn't say a word. She stood up gracefully, picked up her clothes that were scattered across the floor and started putting them on. Ashen was putting on his pants. My rage boiled over. “I'm talking to you.“ My hand connected to her face. Pa! The impact snapped her head to the side. She clenched her cheeks. “Are you crazy?“ She spat through gritted fangs, glaring at me murderously. Ashen stood between us, his jaw tightened, and his fists clenched. “What the hell are you doing, Maya?“ He let out a growl and then turned back at her, holding her to his chest. “Are you okay?“ She nodded slowly. I ran a hand through my hair as frustration coursed through my bones as I watched my mate care for another woman like she was his world while I'm just the villain in their love story. “You both are shameless!“ I spat. Ashen turned towards me. “You are the one who is shameless!“ he spat back. “Really? How? All I did was love and care for you. I'm your mate for Goddess sake.“ “Mate?“ He scoffed like I was a joke—one he didn't quite get. “Mate, huh? You really think I will let a useless and weak Omega like you stand beside me as my Luna?“ He asked, voice sharp with maskily thin disdain that left me wondering if my prince has always been like this. “You shouldn't even compare yourself to Lyra—the Beta's daughter.“ I opened my mouth to talk but no words came out. Ashen wasn't done yet. He continued. “Quit being delusions, Maya. You're nothing but my little plaything. Your pussy was so tight and sweet. That's all you would ever be. A perfect hole for my cock.“ Gods…… the words pierced through my heart like a dagger and ripped it out. My body trembled with so much pain, hot tears streaming down my cheeks. A hole? Me? “I thought you loved me? I thought you said it doesn't matter if I'm strong or not? Doesn't matter if I have a wolf or not! You said I'm perfect just the way I am?“ I asked, my voice trembling slightly. Their laughter—sharp and mocking, echoed through the room. “You are so stupid to have believed that, Maya,” Lyra purred. She stepped closer to me. Her hands reached out, brushing a strand of stray hair from my face. “You pathetic little thing. You're just like your mother, aren't? She has seduced and have been fucked by all the men in the pack.“ I clenched my fists in anger. My mother was cruelly referred to as the Pack's whore. The reason is because she has an incredible smell that makes all the men go crazy for her. In the eighteen years that I have been born, I couldn't count the number of men my mother has gotten married to. Almost every year, I have a new step father, but end up parting ways after a few months together. Mother is shameless and that's one of the most annoying parts of being her daughter. She doesn't know who my father is because she got pregnant while she was still a teenager. I didn't say a word. I turned to Ashen instead. “Since you hate me so much, why did you tell me we are mates?“ I haven't gotten my wolf yet, so I couldn't perceive my mate or know who he is, but eight months ago on my eighteenth birthday, Ashen confessed to me that we're mates. And stupid me, who has been in love with him, thought I had found favor in the sight of the Moon Goddess. “No, we're never mates! The Moon Goddess would never give me a mate as foolish as you. You were nothing but a bet I had with Lyra. I told her I was going to be the first man to fuck your virgin pussy and so,” his voice rose higher with pride, “I did it.“ I gripped my throbbing head. Everything—the betrayal, their confessions—it was too much for me to bear. “Noo, no, no!“ I stepped back and ran out of the room, down the stairs, and out into the empty dark street. I don't know where I'm going but I knew I needed to get away from it all. There was really nothing exciting about my life. All my life, I have been judged, bullied and spat on because of my mother and the only two people, who I thought had my back are nothing but fake too. Ashen deceived me, used me and then discarded me. Lyra is a manipulative liar. I thought of dying, yet I couldn't. I won't be able to live with the ridicule if everyone in the Pack finds out—but good thing I’m already leaving. I swear, they’ll regret this.Maya's POV "Can't or won't?" I shot back. "Because there's a difference, Mom. And right now, I need to know which one it is." My mother was quiet for a long moment, wrestling with some internal conflict. When she finally spoke, her voice was barely above a whisper. "Your father wasn't just any werewolf, Maya. His bloodline... it goes back to the original White Luna families. The ones the High Council has been trying to eliminate for centuries." The room spun around me. "White Luna families?" "Powerful bloodlines that posed a threat to the established order," she continues, might be streaming down her face. "When I met your father, he was hiding from them. We thought we'd found somewhere safe, somewhere we could raise you without anyone knowing what you might become." "What I might become?" My voice was rising, panic setting in. "What the hell does that mean?" "It means you're not just any werewolf, Maya. When your powers fully manifest, you'll be one of the most powerful super
Maya's POV I stared at my reflection in the dorm room mirror, trying to work up the courage to face what might be the most difficult conversation of my life. My mother had raised and protected me, sacrificed everything for me. Surely she couldn't know what Damien had been doing. Surely she would choose me over him when she learned the truth. But even as I tried to convince myself of her loyalty, doubt gnawed at my insides like a parasite. "Are you sure about this?" Quinn asked for the tenth time, pacing anxiously behind me. "Maybe you should wait for Jaxon and Professor Ronan. They said they'd be back soon." "No," I said firmly, applying lip gloss with shaking hands. "This is something I need to do alone. My mother deserves to hear this from me first, before anyone else gets involved." "But Maya.." "Quinn, please." I turned to face her, trying to project more confidence than I felt. "I need to know where my own mother stands before I can figure out what to do next." The drive t
Maya's POV "Different people each time," Quinn said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "First it was some woman claiming to be from the university's alumni association. She wanted to know about your family background, your mother's maiden name, and your father's side of the family tree."My blood ran cold. My father's side of the family was exactly what I'd been trying to keep secret my entire life. "What did you tell her?""Nothing, because I don't know anything," Quinn said. "But then yesterday, this guy in a suit came to our dorm asking Mia about your sleeping patterns, whether you'd been having nightmares or unusual dreams.""Nightmares?" I repeated, thinking about the vivid dreams I'd been having lately. Dreams of silver wolves and ancient bloodlines that felt too real to be just imagination."And this morning," Quinn continued, "there was someone else. A woman who claimed to be a graduate student doing research on 'exceptional students.' She wanted to know if you'd shown any sig
Maya's POVThe first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was white roses. Dozens of them, arranged in a beautiful crystal vase on the medical center's bedside table. Their sweet scent filled the small room, so different from the sterile hospital smell I'd expected.My head felt heavy, like it was stuffed with cotton, and my mouth was dry as sandpaper. The events of last night came flooding back – the campus mixer, the horrible things I'd said to Jaxon and Professor Ronan, the crushing weight of Lyra's ultimatum that had finally broken me.I'd done it. I'd destroyed the two relationships that meant everything to me to save their careers. The memory made my chest ache with fresh grief."Maya?" A gentle voice made me turn toward the door. Nurse Patty was checking her clipboard, a concerned smile on her face. "How are you feeling, honey?""Like I got hit by a truck," I croaked, struggling to sit up. "How long was I unconscious?""About six hours. You were severely dehydrated and exhausted.
Ronan's POV The files were exactly what we expected – dozens of photos of Maya entering and leaving my apartment building, digitally enhanced to look as compromising as possible. But there was something else, something that made my blood run cold."Jaxon," I said slowly, "look at this."Among Lyra's photo editing files was a folder labeled "Phase Two." Inside were architectural plans of the university campus, student schedules, and what appeared to be surveillance notes about Maya's daily routines."This goes way beyond jealousy," Jaxon said, his voice tight with alarm. "This is stalking. This is... this is obsessive."I opened another file, and my heart stopped. It was an email draft, never sent, but the contents were chilling:The target is more isolated now. The public humiliation worked perfectly. She's vulnerable and alone, exactly as requested. Ready for Phase Two implementation. Awaiting further instructions on elimination protocols."Elimination protocols," I whispered, the w
Ronan's POVThree hours ago, I'd considered Jaxon Cross my rival, my enemy, the one obstacle between Maya and me. Sitting across from him in my university office at midnight, I was beginning to see him as an ally I'd never expected."Tell me again what you found in her student file," Jaxon said, leaning forward with intense focus. His eyes were still red from exhaustion and emotional strain, but his determination was unwavering.I pulled up Lyra Brooks' academic records on my computer screen, my professor credentials giving me access to information that painted a disturbing picture."This is her third university in two years," I began, scrolling through the documents. "She was expelled from Shadowmere Academy for 'conduct unbecoming a student' though the details are sealed. Then she lasted exactly one semester at Crescent Falls before transferring here.""That's not normal," Jaxon observed, running a hand through his dark hair. "What kind of conduct gets you expelled but still allows
