Chapter 6

Author: Sienna
Damian stood in the bridal chamber for a long time, his face white as paper.

At last Damian understood that his attempt to be clever had cost him the entire game.

"You knew all along." He stared hard at me, his voice trembling.

"I did." I looked at him calmly. "You couldn't even be bothered to attend our mating ceremony. Why would I keep playing my part in your little performance?"

"I cried for you for five whole days," I said, one word at a time. "And you spent those five days lying beside the

  • Mated to My Fiance's Uncle   Chapter 10

    Three months later, beneath the blood moon, the Blackmane Pack welcomed its new Alpha.Adrian stood before the temple of the Moon Goddess and received the oath of succession, and the black wolf's bloodline brought the whole pack to its knees.And I stood at his side. Not a Luna tucked safely behind him, but the woman who ruled this pack shoulder to shoulder with him.The Omegas and Elders who had once gossiped about me in the corridors no longer dared to raise their heads in my presence.I no longer needed anyone to fight for my place in this manor.The defenses, the hidden passages, the schemes tucked away in people's hearts. I saw them all more clearly than anyone now.From then on, half the board at Blackmane was mine to command.The night he took his seat, he leaned close to my ear and whispered, "This time, I am never letting go."I looked up at him, and suddenly remembered things from many years ago, things I had never managed to make sense of."Adrian," I asked, "when we were ch

  • Mated to My Fiance's Uncle   Chapter 9

    For the first time in my life, I shifted under the full moon.Silver-white fur tore out through my skin. My bones twisted and reformed, and the pain nearly dropped me into darkness.But when my four paws touched the ground and I raised my head, every Redfang wolf in the courtyard went still.A silver wolf.A silver wolf of the Moon Goddess's bloodline, the one that comes once in a hundred years.Naya's mind and mine fused completely. Moonlight streamed down my spine, like a suit of armor no one could see.Adrian's black wolf sprang to my side. One black, one silver, standing shoulder to shoulder beneath the blood moon.The sight of us reignited the fighting spirit of Blackmane's surviving warriors. Howling as one, they threw themselves at Redfang.That night, the courtyard became a battlefield of blood and moonlight. Silver blades against fangs, screams, wolf howls, all of it ricocheting between the manor's high walls.These walls had once trapped me inside, sealing in my suffocation a

    By the time we reached the moon hall, Alpha Theron was almost gone.He lay beneath the statue of the Moon Goddess, his breath thin, his withered hand clamped around a scroll: Blackmane's sealed oath of succession."V-Vera." He forced his eyes open, his clouded gaze searching my face for a long moment. "Your parents died for me. I never finished repaying what I owed them."I knelt at his bedside and took his freezing hand.Most of twelve years' resentment fell away in that single moment."Alpha, you knew who let Redfang in all those years ago, didn't you."He closed his eyes, and a single tear slipped from the corner of one eye. "I knew."His voice trembled almost past hearing. "I've heard the crying from that night in my dreams for twelve years. Your parents, with their last breath, pushed you into my arms and begged me to protect you. But he is my blood, the heir I chose. I couldn't bring myself to do it. To shield him, I let Damian dress himself up as your savior, and the lie ran on

    Lydia had said it deliberately, hoping I would panic. I didn't.Alpha Theron truly was ill. The Redfang plot spreading through the manor had poisoned him, and he grew worse by the day. When he died, Blackmane would face a succession, and Redfang planned to strike that very night.I laid it all out in my mind, like pieces on a board.Adrian stood beside me, and together we studied a board that seemed to leave us no way out.For the next few days, we were almost never apart.I taught him to read the old defense maps my parents had left behind. He taught me every hidden passage in the manor that could conceal fighters or carry us out alive.At night, we sat side by side beneath the lamp without speaking, and that silence steadied me more than anyone else's company ever had.But the manor's walls never seemed to run out of eyes. In the shadows beyond every lamp, someone might be counting our breaths for Lydia.Naya whispered inside me and refused to let herself sleep, even for a moment.Sh

    Damian stood in the bridal chamber for a long time, his face white as paper.At last Damian understood that his attempt to be clever had cost him the entire game."You knew all along." He stared hard at me, his voice trembling."I did." I looked at him calmly. "You couldn't even be bothered to attend our mating ceremony. Why would I keep playing my part in your little performance?""I cried for you for five whole days," I said, one word at a time. "And you spent those five days lying beside the enemy who slaughtered my family."He whipped around toward Adrian like a beast backed into a corner and snarled, "Make her perform the rejection ceremony with you! If she rejects you in front of everyone and severs the bond, the position is mine again!"My chest went cold.The rejection ceremony is the cruelest punishment werewolves have.In the instant the bond breaks, both souls are torn open inch by inch, as if by claws. The pain is like dying.Some wolves' spirits shatter on the spot when th

  • Mated to My Fiance's Uncle   Chapter 5

    After that night, the last soft thing in me hardened into stone.I was no longer the orphan hiding in the bridal chamber, waiting for her tears to run dry.I would live. More than that, I would make every person responsible for my parents' deaths repay that blood debt with their own hands, one by one!In the depths of my soul, Naya came fully awake. The moment she did, a faint sheen of silver light rose across my palms. Even Adrian froze for a beat.A silver wolf.The pack chronicle said it was the bloodline closest to the Moon Goddess, born once in a hundred years.I didn't know what my parents had left inside me. But I knew that from this moment on, I no longer needed anyone to save me."Vera," Naya said inside me for the first time, her voice low, hoarse, and steady. "We aren't running. We're going to collect the blood debt from that night!"I turned to Adrian. "I'm going to uncover the truth about what happened twelve years ago. And I'm going to find out exactly what Damian signed
