LOGIN"Ditrian Regulus has been dared to make love to you!" For three years, the Alpha heir of Venus City called me Bunny, because to a school full of wolves, a girl with no wolf is just prey. Then, at our graduation Moon Run, he was dared to take me to bed. I knew I should run. Instead, I said yes. The condom broke. He laughed and told me wolfless girls can't carry an Alpha's pup. He was wrong. Two months later, his father scented his blood in my womb and forced us to marry. Ditrian said the vows in front of the pack elders, but he refused to mark me. Every wolf in Venus City could smell exactly how unwanted I was. He left the next day for Buckingville. I stayed behind with our daughter, his cruel family, and a secret degree I earned at the kitchen table while everyone thought I was nothing. Four years later, his father is dying, and my husband is coming home. With his mistress on his arm. She is the woman my daughter calls Auntie Ree, the woman she loves more than me. I expect the severing ceremony. Instead, Ditrian keeps delaying it. He keeps showing up. And the night my wolf finally awakens, he pins me to the wall with burning gold eyes and growls: "You can't walk out of my life, Bunny. You're my mate." Four years too late, my bully wants me back. But do I still want him?

He lowered his head and pressed his mouth to the curve of my neck, right where my pulse was racing, and a shiver ran through my whole body that had nothing to do with the cold lake air."You smell like rain," he muttered against my skin, almost to himself. He sounded confused, almost annoyed about it. "Why the hell do you smell like rain?"I didn't know what to say, so I said nothing. I just watched him in the dusty mirror, his dark head bent over my shoulder, his golden eyes half closed, and I wondered if I was dreaming. I had imagined this so many nights, lying awake in my narrow bed while Grandma snored softly through the wall. My imagination had never come close.He turned me around to face him and kissed me again, harder this time, and I stopped thinking at all.The silver dress slid from my shoulders and poo
Chapter 4~ Alyssa ~Ditrian rose from the couch.He didn't hurry. He set his drink down on the table, rolled his neck once, and started walking toward me across the veranda, and the crowd split apart in front of him without a single word, the way the forest goes quiet when an Alpha passes through it.I pressed my back against the wall. I didn't know what the hell to do with my hands, my face, my breathing. Every instinct I had was screaming at me to run, but there was nowhere to run to. The gates were sealed. The warriors were watching. And my legs had stopped listening to me.He stopped in front of me, so close that I had to tilt my head back to look at him. I had never been this close to him in three years. Up close he smelled like cedar and smoke and something wilder underneath, something that made my knees feel strangely weak.Then, without taking his eyes off mine, he reached for the hem of his black shirt and pulled it over his head.The crowd screamed. My jaw dropped.I had se
Chapter 3~ Alyssa ~Wolf rules were simple, and Austin explained them with the glee of a boy who had waited all year to say them out loud."You get asked, you answer. You get dared, you do it. You refuse," he grinned, swinging the bottle toward the crowd, "you pay the price. And the price is whatever the circle decides."The circle roared its approval. They dragged couches and cushions onto the veranda and arranged themselves around the low table like a court around a throne, and of course the throne was Ditrian. He sat in the middle of the biggest couch with his long legs stretched out, Delilah curled against his side, and Austin perched on the table in front of them like a ringmaster.I stayed in my corner behind the stacked chairs.That was my entire plan. Stay small. Stay quiet. Stay invisible until moonset, when the warriors would open the gates and I could slip away down the forest road and pretend tonight never happened. I had three years of practice at being invisible. I was
Chapter 2~ Alyssa ~By seven o'clock, every dress I owned was lying on my bed, and every single one of them was trash.The blue one had a stain on the hip that no amount of scrubbing would lift. The black one was two sizes too big because it had belonged to my mother. The flowered one made me look like I was going to Sunday service. I held each of them up in front of the cracked mirror on my wardrobe door and wanted to scream."You look beautiful, my girl," Grandma said from her chair in the corner, for the fifth time."Grandma, you said that about the flowered one.""And I meant it." She smiled, her hands busy tying bundles of dried sage and thyme for tomorrow's market stall. The whole house smelled of her herbs, bitter and green and comforting, the smell of every day of my life. "Any boy who doesn't see it is blind."I didn't believe her. Grandmothers were supposed to say things like that.The front door banged open, and Rebecca Andrew swept in like she owned the place, a garment b
