LOGIN"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.
View MoreJULIUS ~The packhouse felt like a war zone.Wolves sprawled across the courtyard where they'd fallen, some groaning, others still unconscious. The pack doctors moved between them, checking vitals, administering water."What is the status report?" I barked at Axel."Fifty-three wolves were affected," he said, consulting his tablet. "No physical injuries, but they're all disoriented. Some of them can't remember the last hour at all.""And the ones who stayed conscious?""They are panicking." He glanced at the growing crowd of worried pack members. "They watched their families freeze like statues. Watched them speak with Killian's voice. Alpha, morale is in freefall."I surveyed the damage, my wolf snarling inside me. This was exactly what Killian wanted. Fear. Chaos. Proof that nowhere was safe."Get them inside," I ordered. "Take anyone who is still weak to the medical bay. Everyone else should move to the great hall. I need to address the pack.""What are you going to tell them?""Th
LUCIA ~I couldn't sleep after leaving Julius in the council chamber. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Killian's cruel smile, felt his cold fingers on my cheek.As real as you want me to be.The words echoed in my mind like a curse.I paced my room until dawn crept through the windows, painting everything in shades of gray. My mark pulsed steadily, a constant reminder that something inside me had fundamentally changed.A soft knock interrupted my thoughts."Come in," I called, expecting Jenny.Instead, Seraphine entered, carrying a leather satchel."I hope I'm not intruding," she said. "But I thought we should begin immediately.""Begin what?""Your shielding training." She set the satchel on my desk. "Unless you'd prefer to keep broadcasting your every emotion to the supernatural world?"I wanted to refuse. To tell her I didn't need help from a Shadowfang healer. But the memory of those frozen guards stopped me."How long will it take?" I asked."That depends on you." Seraphine pul
JULIUS ~The council chamber erupted into chaos the moment Killian vanished."Impossible!" Elder Mira shrieked. "He walked through our wards like they were paper!""Calm down," I ordered, but my own heart hammered against my ribs. My wolf clawed at my insides, torn between protecting Lucia and hunting Killian down."Calm?" Mira whirled on me. "The enemy Alpha just materialized in our packhouse, touched your mate, and then vanished! How exactly should I be calm?""Seraphine," I said, ignoring Mira's hysteria. "Explain what just happened."The healer's face had gone pale. "I've never seen anything like it. He wasn't fully physical, more like a projection given temporary substance. But the power required..." She looked at Lucia. "He used your broadcast as an anchor point.""So every time I lose control," Lucia said quietly, "I'm giving him a doorway.""Not just him." Seraphine's expression darkened. "Anyone with enough psychic ability could potentially use your signature to find you. You
LUCIA ~"Because," Seraphine said softly, "the vision wasn't just yours. It rippled through the supernatural network like a stone dropped in still water."My stomach twisted. "That's impossible.""Is it?" She tilted her head. "You shattered every mirror in the east wing without touching them. You projected a shared vision to your mate. What exactly do you think is impossible anymore?"Julius's hand tightened on my shoulder. "Get to the point.""The point is that your Luna is broadcasting." Seraphine set down her tablet. "Whatever power is awakening in her isn't contained anymore. It's reaching out, touching everything sensitive enough to feel it."Elder Mira cleared her throat. "Then she is dangerous.""I didn't say dangerous," Seraphine corrected her quickly. "I said she was broadcasting. There's a difference.""Not to this pack," Mira snapped. "If she can't control her power, she puts every one of us at risk.""I'm sitting right here," I said coldly.Mira's gaze slid to me. "Then pe
LUCIA~Dawn seeped through the trees, pale and cold. Smoke still drifted above the valley, curling through the mist like ghosts that refused to rest. I sat at the same spot I had been all night. I was bare-foot, my damp hair is plastered to my neck, and my heart is beating in a rhythm that wasn’t m
LUCIA~When I opened my eyes again, Jenny was nowhere to be found.The storm had spent itself, the world smelled of wet earth. This time, I lay in a hollow of scorched mud where the blast had struck. Steam was curling from the ground and every muscle in my body throbbed. However, I felt an unexplai
LUCIA~Rain poured through a shattered skylight, striking my cheek in a steady rhythm.I opened my eyes to a ceiling half-gone and a sky full of lightning. The smell of wet metal filled my lungs, and my eyes stung.I lay there on a slab of broken tile inside what had once been a chapel, stained gla
Killian~The rainstorm had finally come home. It snuck over the mountains in veins of white fire, thunder rolling down the slopes like a living thing. Every flash illuminated the wards carved into the cliff face, and for an instant the whole fortress seemed to breathe.I stood on the balcony, rain
