LOGINOn Mating Day, Elara Vale finds her boyfriend, Liam Ashcroft, cheating on her with her mean half-sister, Seraphina Vale. This happens on the same day he was supposed to choose Elara as his mate. It hurts even more when Liam says Seraphina is his true mate, giving them the right to be together. Heartbroken, Elara runs into the forbidden forest. There, she meets a dangerous stranger. His scent triggers a mating heat Elara was never meant to feel. Thinking he is a rogue, she gives in to one night with him and runs away before morning, never seeing his face. When Elara gets home Elara is really scared to find out that someone has marked Elara. Her father, Rowan Vale tells her that he will kill her if she does not find a man who's willing to marry a woman like Elara who has a mark. Elara thinks that no man wants to be, with her. Then something surprising happens. The man that everyone is afraid of, Alpha Kael Nightborne of Nightfall Pack decides that he wants to marry Elara. Alpha Kael Nightborne chooses Elara to be his bride. There is something about this person that feels really familiar in a kind of way. This person seems to be someone I have met before. I just cannot quite put my finger on who he is.. Something, about him feels dangerously familiar.
View MoreElara’s POVNight had fully settled over Nightfall.The fortress was quieter than usual, but it wasn’t peaceful. There was tension in the air. Everyone felt it.The Warriors moved along the walls more often. Patrol groups kept leaving through the gates. Even the wind in the trees sounded different tonight.Like the forest itself was waiting.I sat near the window in my room, staring out at the dark mountains in the distance.Sleep wasn’t coming.Not after everything that happened.Rogues are attacking the border.Kael’s anger.And the strange heat that had spread through my body the moment the fighting started.I pressed my hand lightly against the back of my neck.The mark wasn’t glowing now.But I could still feel something there.A faint warmth.Like a quiet fire under my skin.You feel it too, the voice in my head whispered.I closed my eyes.“Yes.”For a moment there was only silence.Then the voice returned, softer this time.I am waking.My chest tightened.“You said that befor
Elara’s POVThe battle sounds in the forest slowly faded.At first, the air had been filled with snarls, howls, and the crashing of bodies through trees. Now there was only silence.Too much silence.I was still standing near the fortress entrance when the gates finally opened again.A group of wolves ran through first.Then they began shifting back into human form as they crossed the courtyard.Some looked fine.Others had scratches and blood on their arms and shoulders.My chest tightened.I searched their faces quickly.But Kael wasn’t there yet.Ronan appeared a moment later, shifting beside the gate. His grey wolf disappeared, and he grabbed a pair of pants that one of the guards handed him.There was blood on his shoulder.“Are you okay?” I asked before I could stop myself.Ronan looked surprised to see me standing there.“I’m fine
Elara’s POVThe sun had already begun to sink behind the forest when the first alarm sounded.I was in the council room again, pretending to read one of the heavy history books Kael had given me. But my mind wasn’t on the pages.It kept drifting back to the gathering in the courtyard earlier.Kael is defending me.The council is questioning me.And the way the entire pack had stared like they were trying to see through my skin.A loud howl suddenly cut through the air outside.I froze.The sound echoed across the valley.One long, sharp warning.Then another howl followed.My stomach dropped.I had heard that sound before.Border signal.Before I could even stand up, footsteps rushed past the hallway outside the council room.Voices filled the corridor.“North patrol spotted movement!”“Get the warriors ready!”&ldqu
Elara’s POVBy afternoon, the rumours had spread even farther.I could feel it everywhere.Whispers in the hallways. Curious glances when I walked by. Conversations that stopped the moment I entered a room.At first, I tried to ignore it.I spent most of the morning in the council room reading the history books Kael gave me. But even there, I couldn’t fully focus.My mind kept returning to the same thought.Marked.How could they smell something that didn’t exist?I rubbed the back of my neck again. The skin there felt normal now, but I still remembered the warmth that sometimes spread through it.Maybe Lyra was right.Maybe something about me was changing.A sudden knock broke my thoughts.“Come in,” I said.The door opened, and one of the young guards stepped inside.“The Alpha has called for a gathering in the courtyard,” he said respe
Elara’s POV“What the hell…” my father cursed as he stormed up the stairs.Heavy footsteps shook the house.My father and stepmother burst into the room. The space felt too small as they moved toward me. I tried to step back, but there was nowhere to go.Seraphina grabbed my arm and spun me around
Elara’s POVOne of the rogues laughed without even turning around.“Back off, lad. Go find your own woman.”“Wait…” another rogue stammered. “He’s not”All of them slowly turned to look behind them.I followed their gaze.A man stood there, dressed in black from head to toe. He was tall, with broad
Elara's POV "What are you doing?"The words stuck in my throat. I stood frozen in Liam's doorway, hands still trembling. Tonight was supposed to be our night,our first Mating Day. I'd finally told myself I was ready to give in to him, trusted every soft promise he'd ever whispered. I'd pictured ro
