Masuk"My mate is the man who murdered my sister," Lucia whispered, her voice shaking. Julius’s eyes flashed with hurt and fury. "I don’t know who you think I am, Lucia, but I will prove the truth, even if it breaks us both." She swore to kill him. Fate swore to bind them. Ten years ago, Lucia Wright watched her sister, Teja, die at the hands of a man whose honey gold eyes she could never forget. Since that night, her life has been nothing but prisons, rogues, and blood-soaked promises of revenge. At the Moonbane Festival, the goddess finally grants her a mate. But when the mask falls away, she recognizes him, Alpha Julius of Rivermist Pack. The man she believes murdered her sister. Lucia accepts his mother’s sudden proposal, not out of love, but to finish what she started, to kill him from within his own home. Yet the mate bond burns hotter than her hatred, and every stolen touch threatens to unravel her carefully built rage. Julius has secrets of his own, enemies in the shadows, a rival Alpha bent on his ruin, and a past drenched in sins he can’t escape. As truths twist and betrayals surface, Lucia must decide, will she cling to vengeance, or surrender to the bond that defies her every oath? In a world of demons, rival packs, and blood debts, love may be the deadliest trap of all.

"You intoxicate me so much, Mate" the man whispered against my hair, his hand fondling with the opening of my pussy lips.
I moaned in response, letting his sweet words drift into my ears as I twerked my ass to match the rhythm of his waist.
He pulled me against himself and I felt the hard bulge struggling to be let out. This invited more goosebumps to my body and I moaned again.
Letting the bulge out, he slapped my ass cheek with it before making me face him and shoving it down my throat.
The man was wearing a mask, the mate bond between us glowed brilliantly under our gazes and I felt like kissing the goddess for this awesome gift.
All these while, I have lived a life that is not worth praising the goddess for, as I spent it all on searching for that bastard that killed Teja.
A good ten years of my life was dedicated to finding that monster that I swore to kick in the ass and let him have a scent of his own anus.
Tonight was the Moonbane festival. It's a festival where mateless werewolves like me come together with a mask on our faces, to find our mates.
I was so happy when this man approached me, the glow of the mate bond shinning under the moonlight.
"Mate?" He had whispered timidly before taking my hand and pulling me to the dance floor.
From the dance floor onwards, we came here, here where he bent me against the wall and worshiped my whole body like it's a shrine.
As he stroked me from behind, I finally got my brain back to ask, "You can see my face now, can I see yours?"
He turned me around, kissed my lips sensually and pulled my nipple. "You'll see more of my face, mate. But right now, can I fuck you in peace?"
I giggled in ecstasy and we continued to sin.

"Lucia, where the fuck have you been?" Jenny yelled over the phone immediately I picked up her call.
I yawned loudly, spreading my arms in the air as I replied in a sleepy voice. "Last night was hectic. But did you find your mate?"
Jenny sighed, a long draggy sigh that felt like forever, "Yes, I met my mate last night, but he rejected me outright."
"Why?" I jerked up immediately with shock. "Is he mad or what?"
In terms of beauty, Jenny was an all-rounder. I do envy my friend sometimes whenever I stare at her for a long time.
Hearing that she was rejected by some man, no. He must be someone that doesn't match her standard. Perhaps that was why he rejected her.
"Where you at? I'm dressed now and preparing to leave" she brought me back from my trance.
"Oh yes. Wait for me in the parking lot. I'll join you."
After Jenny ended the call, I looked beside me, but the man I slept with last night wasn't there.
I jerked up from the bed, the stain of my virginity spread over the white sheets, making me feel some kind of euphoria.
Last night was the best night of my life, I can't deny it. I got defiled by my own mate, experience the joy of seeing the mate bond.
With giggles, I stepped out of bed to check the bathroom.
However, I wasn't so lucky. Just as I placed my hand on the handle to open the door, the door opened from inside and this caused me to fall in, in into some sturdy hot chest.
I gasped. A pair of hands circled my waist, holding me from falling down.
"Urgh. That was close" I muttered.
"Sleep well, mate?" A melodious voice asked above me and I slowly looked up, to see the chiseled jawline, long eyebrows and full pink lips that reminds me of someone.
He looked down, since he was taller than me and flashed me a charming smile. Well, it was a charming smile up until it sparked some memories in my brain and I fell back immediately.
"No!" I whispered, shaking my head to deny the reality before me. This can't be my mate.
"What's wrong?" He frowned, trying to come nearer, but I threw my hands in the air to stop him. "Don't come near me!"
My head was reeling. My vision was struggling between being blurry and being clear. How can this be?
Just a second ago, I was rejoicing that I had met my mate and that he took my virginity willingly. But now.... "No. Goddess, you can't do this to me."
He tried nearing me again but this time, I ran out of the bathroom with shaky fingers.
Seeing my trembling fingers, the memories of that day came back in large bits so much that I felt I could die.
I hurriedly dressed up before bolting out of the room. No. I can't stay even for a while longer or else, if I don't faint, something else is going to happen to me.
I walked soullessly toward the parking lot and there, my extravagant la posh la gaga bestie was standing beside the car, recording her vlog again.
Seeing me, she hailed. "Alright, bye fans. My friend is here."
"Hey Lucia. How...." She was about to jubilate, but I raised my hand and stopped her.
Jenny frowned, but entered our SUV after me. "What happened to you? Why being cold all of a sudden?"
I turned my head to look at her. Immediately our eyes met, hot tears found its way down my eyes again. Jenny quickly hugged me. "Lucia, what's happening?"
"Jenny, it's him" I whispered silently, each syllable burning my heart like branding iron.
Still clueless, Jenny hugged me tighter, patting me like an older sister. "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't"
More tears rushed down. "No Jenny. I'm sure it's him. I can never forget those piercing honey eyes that killed Teja."
She released me immediately, shock rented her face. "You say what?"
"My mate is the man that murdered my sister, Teja". I finally dropped the bombshell.
Jenny gasped!
JULIUS ~I find Lucia in the corridor, her back to me, staring out at the courtyard below. The meeting ended twenty minutes ago, but she hasn't moved.She stood there with her back against the wall, breathing slowly and deeply, like she was holding some heavy truth inside her chest and trying to keep it from spilling out."Lucia."She turns. Smiles. "Hey."That smile doesn't reach her eyes.“You handled that beautifully”, I said with pride, even though I was still concerned for her.She looked up at me, saying "Did you hear?""Wolves gossip faster than wildfire." I smiled fondly at her, even though I wasn’t really feeling like it.She reached up and touched my shirt, her fingers curling in them slightly.“I feel… different,” She admitted. It sounded like she just wanted to pour her heart out to me. “Not in a bad way. Just… shifted.”I cupped the side of her face. “You’re finding yourself,” I whispered. “That’s all.”She's here, but she feels far away.My wolf whines inside me, confuse
LUCIA ~The conversation I heard was all I could think of, I hardly barely slept. My body still feels strangely energized, it was humming with something I couldn’t name. The new way they looked at me, the whispers, and even my growing feelings for Julius, they all seem to be messing with my head.I pushed it all away with a sigh.Today, is not a day for strange feelings. There is no room for panic or confusion. I am going to focus on only Luna things today.I dressed slowly and carefully, trying my best to look the part of the perfect Luna. The pack house buzzed with its usual chaos. Wolves moved through hallways with purpose, nodding respectfully as I passed. Some even bowed their heads slightly, a gesture of submission I still wasn't used to."Luna Lucia," Axel greeted me near the main hall. "The pack Alphas' mates are gathering in the meeting room, along with some elder she-wolves. They're hoping you'll join them.""Of course." I forced warmth into my smile. "I'll be right there."
LUCIA ~When I woke up, the bed was empty. Julius had insisted we sleep in the same room, so he can keep an eye on me. But he must have left before sunrise, he said something about having an early start yesterday.I lay there for a moment, staring at the faint outline of his body on the bed. The warmth was still there, as if he just stood up from the bed. I reached across the sheets to touch it.When did I start missing him so much? A few weeks ago, all I had wanted was to kill him, but now I was missing him.“Get a hold of yourself,” I said to myself, pushing the covers aside. “You are fine.”Only that I didn’t really feel fine. Every senses in my body is heightened. I could hear the footsteps down the hall, I could someone humming in the kitchen downstairs. The smell of coffee drifted under the door, making my mouth water.I shook my head to clear it. Maybe it was nerves, or exhaustion, i can't say. I dressed quickly, settling for something casual, and stepped into the hallway.As
JULIUS ~The next day, the packhouse was already alive by the time I stepped out. There was activity everywhere, from the clang metal, to the laughter of pups. The men were sparring like they were preparing for war.“Easy,” I called out, my voice cutting through the noise. “You’re not supposed to kill each other during training.”They paused, panting, eyes wild. One of the young warriors, Hale, looked up at me, his chest heaving.“Sorry, Alpha,” he said, wiping sweat from his brow. “It’s… it’s the air. It feels strange today.”“The air?” ” I answered, stepping closer, my gaze sweeping over the group. A few others nodded, murmuring agreement, their shoulders tense like twisted coils.He nodded, glancing up at the sky. “Yes, Alpha. It smells like a storm’s coming. But there’s no storm. My wolf keeps pacing inside, sniffing at something I can’t place. And the scents, they’re sharper, too. Like everything’s amplified, but wrong.”I tilted my head back. The sky was clear, washed in gold. N
