Elijah Black was born to lead. He is the alpha heir, a billionaire empire builder, and a man whose wolf once roared with purpose. But when his fated mate died, the bond shattered, and so did he. His wolf went silent. Elijah stopped shifting, stopped living, and forced himself into a grief support group in the basement of St. Catherine’s Church because disappearing into the sorrow of strangers felt easier than facing his own. Then Jaxon Reed walks in, late, loud, and chaotic, completely out of place in a room full of mourning hearts. He does not claim to grieve a person, but instead the version of himself he destroyed. He lies with charm, performs with reckless humor, and unsettles everyone, especially Elijah. Elijah wants to hate him, but his wolf wants to chase him. Jaxon wants to vanish, but his smile refuses to leave. Their connection is electric. It is grief meeting chaos, discipline clashing with wild instinct. Elijah is pulled back to life against his will, and Jaxon is seen for the first time in years. But Elijah’s world is not human, and Jaxon’s past is far from harmless. As the tension between them grows, both men must confront a truth neither is ready to name. What happens when the alpha who refuses to shift meets the man whose very existence wakes the wolf inside him? The answer will change everything, if they survive long enough to face it.

CHAPTER 1
~Filipinas 1864~
"Hindi mo maaaring ibigin ang isang indio Amor! Isang estupida ang sasama sa isang indio! Huwag mo kaming ipahiya! Pinagbigyan ka na namin sa mga lahat ng gusto mo! Itinigil namin ang kasal niyo ni Heneral Eusebio dahil sa pagkakaalam namin hindi ka pa handa. At ngayon ang kapal mong suwayin ang utos ko?! M****a! Qué he hecho para que mi hija me trate así?! Ha?! Anong nagawa ko?! Simula ngayon, hindi ka na pwedeng makipagkita sa indiong iyon!" (Anong nagawa ko para tratuhin ako ng aking anak ng ganito?!) rinig na rinig sa buong bahay ang pagsigaw ni Don Augusto Jacinto Luviano.
Galit na galit ito nang malamang magkasintahan pala ang kaniyang unica hija at ang bastardong indio na hardinero nila. Lumuluhang nakaluhod ngayon si Feliza Amor, na nag-iisang anak ni Don Augusto Jacinto at Donya Adelassandra, habang naglalakad papalayo ang Don, "Pero papá, mahal na mahal ko po si Jose. Por favor, déjanos ser. Quiero estar con él, prometo que no te desobedeceré más. Solo este por favor," (Pakiusap, pabayaan ninyo kami. Pangakong hindi na ako susuway sa inyo. Pakiusap, ito na ang huling kahilingan ko) lumingon sa kaniya ang kaniyang ama at sinampal sa pisngi, napatigil naman siya sa pag-iyak pati ang kaniyang ina.
Agad lumapit ang kaniyang ina at pumagitna sa dalawa, nasa harapan niya ang kaniyang ina at na sa harapan naman nito ang kaniyang ama na galit na galit. Nakaturo ang daliri ng don sa kaniya bago ito magsalita muli.
"Putanginang pag-ibig yan! Yan ang magpapahamak sa'yo eh! Ipapapatay ko yang Jose na iyan at matutuloy ang kasal niyo ni Heneral Eusebio," lumaki ang mga mata ni Amor nang marinig ang mga katagang iyon mula sa kaniyang ama na tuluyan nang naglakad papalayo sa kaniya.
Nanlilisik ang kaniyang mga mata sa galit at isinusumpa na hindi matutuloy ang planong pagpatay nito sa kasintahan at pagpapakasal niya sa Heneral. Nilapitan siya ng kaniyang ina na kanina pa pinapanood ang nangyayari. Nasasaktan ang kaniyang ina na makitang nahihirapan ang kaniyang anak at pinagbuhatan pa ng kamay ng Don. Mainam na hinahaplos ng kaniyang ina ang pisngi niya kung saan sinampal siya ng kaniyang ama. Inalalayan din itong tumayo at magtungo sa silid.
Gusto niya sanang makausap ang anak ngunit napagtanto niyang kailangan na itong magpahinga dahil sa nangyari kani-kanina lamang. Nang makahiga na si Amor, hinagkan niya ito sa noo at umalis na lamang sa kwarto.
Desidido na si Amor sa kaniyang gagawin, hindi siya papayag na maging miserable siya habang buhay. Hindi naman talaga masama ang Heneral na pinagkasundo ng kasal sa kaniya. Bagkus napakabait nga nito sa kaniya at maginoo pa. Pero kahit anong pilit niya ay babalik at babalik pa rin ang puso niya kay Jose.
Matapos niyang sulatan ng liham si Jose tungkol sa planong pagtakas nila, ginawan niya din ng liham ang kaniyang pinakamamahal na ina para humingi ng tawad. Ito ay kaniyang inilagay sa lamesita at pinatungan ng gasera. Sa huling pagpatak ng hatinggabi, tatakas sila ni Jose at pupunta sa Bulacan para doon na maninirahan. May kaibigan kasi si Jose doon at pwede nito silang tulungang magbagong buhay muli.
Agad naman siyang tumungo sa kanilang tagpuan na kung saan naghihintay na ang kabayong sasakyan nila para makatas. Nakita naman niyang naroon na naghihintay si Jose. Suot nito ay ang camisa de chino at ang salakot na gawa sa banig, pang ordinaryong magsasaka ang kaniyang sinusuot. Habang si Amor naman ay ang baro't saya na hindi na kaayaya para hindi gaanong mapansin at may suot din siyang kulay itim na belo para matakpan ang mukha niya. Agad niya itong nilapitan at hinagkan ng madiin. May ibinigay siya kay Jose na mga kuwintas na gawa sa perlas.
"Gamitin natin ito kapag nakarating na tayo sa Bulacan." aniya. Hindi na sana papayag si Jose ngunit pinilit ito ni Amor kung kaya't wala siyang nagawa kung hindi ang tanggapin ito. Naisip niya rin na makakatulong ito sa kanilang pagsisimula ng bagong buhay. Umangkas naman silang dalawa sa kabayo at pinatakbo na nila ito ng dahan dahan para walang makarinig.
Hindi pa nga sila nakalayo ay narinig na nila ang pagkalatong ng mga sapatos ng mga kabayo at batid nilang papalapit ito sa kanila. Hindi na nagdadalawang isip si Jose na pabilisin ang takbo ng kabayo nila para hindi na sila abutan ng mga papapunta sa kanila. Animo'y napansin ng mga humahabol sa kanila na may tumakbong kabayo papalayo kung kaya't hinabol nila ito. Narinig naman nila Jose at Amor ang pinagsisigawan ng mga guardia civil na hinahabol sila.
"Detener! En nombre de la patria España!" (Tigil! Sa ngalan ng Inang bansang Espanya!) sigaw ng isang guardia civil.
"Amor! Punyeta! Pakawalan mo ang anak ko hayop ka!" sigaw ni Don
Jacinto na sumabay sa paghabol sa kanila, "Después de ellos! Asegúrate de que mi hija esté a salvo o te mato a todos!" (Dakpin sila! Pero siguraduhin ninyong hindi mapapahamak ang anak ko kundi papatayin ko kayong lahat!) Utos ni Don Jacinto sa mga guardia civil niyang kasama.
Agad namang pinabilis pa ng mga guardia civil ang takbo ng kabayo sa pangunguna ni Heneral Eusebio. Hindi ito makapagpayag na tatakasan siya ng kaniyang magiging asawa. Natutunan niya na itong mahalin dahil sa pagiging maaalahanin at mabait nito sa kaniya. Hindi siya susuko hanggang sa maibalik sa kaniya ang tunay niyang pagmamayari.
"Amor! Por favor regrese! Te amo Amor! No me hagas esto!" (Amor!
Bumalik ka! Mahal na mahal kita! Huwag mong gawin sa akin ito!) pagmamakaawa nito sa kaniya nang masilayan niya ang mukha nito.
"Gracias por todo Sebyong. Pero no puedo," (Salamat sa lahat lahat Sebyong. Pero hindi ko talaga kaya.) sabi naman ni Amor at pinatakbo pa ni Jose ng mas mabilis ang kabayo.
Tuluyan ng nagalit si Heneral Eusebio sa sinabi ni Amor kaya pinagtangkaan niya ang buhay nito.
"Si no puedo tenerte, entonces nadie lo hará. Me aseguraré de eso. Haré tu vida miserable!" (Kung hindi ka mapapasaakin, pwes walang ibang pwedeng makakuha sa iyo! Sisiguraduhin ko iyan. Gagawin kong miserable ang buhay mo!) at pinutukan sila.
Mabuti nalang at hindi sila natamaan pero sa ikalawang putok, natamaan si Amor sa balikat niya pero hindi pa rin ito naging hadlang ng kanilang pagtakas. Hindi na naabutan ni Heneral Eusebio at ng kaniyang mga kasamahan sila Jose at Amor.

The council meeting was brutal.Elijah stood before the assembled pack elders while they interrogated him about Jaxon. About the bond. About what it meant for the pack's future. He answered every question honestly, his voice steady even as his wolf raged at being questioned.Rafe sat in the corner, silent and smug, letting the elders do his work for him.By the time Elijah left, three hours had passed and nothing had been resolved. The elders demanded more time to deliberate. The fight with Rafe would proceed as scheduled on the full moon, but now there was an additional complication—if Elijah won, the pack would vote on whether to accept Jaxon as his mate.If the vote failed, Elijah would have to choose. The pack or Jaxon.He drove back to the loft in silence, his hands tight on the steering wheel. Jaxon had stayed behind with Darius for protection. The separation had been necessary but torturous. Every instinct screamed at Elijah to return to him.The loft was dark when he arrived.

The decision to return to the church felt wrong from the moment they made it.But Jaxon insisted. The mark had appeared three more times over the past week, each occurrence longer than the last. He needed answers, and Dr. Chen—manipulative as she was—seemed to be the only person who understood what was happening."One more time," Jaxon said as they drove through the city. "We go, we listen, we leave. If she knows something about the mark, I need to hear it."Elijah's hands tightened on the steering wheel. "She will use any information as leverage.""I know. But I am running out of options."The church basement was empty when they arrived. No Curtis. No Sarah. No Margaret. Just the circle of chairs waiting in accusatory silence.Dr. Chen was already there. She looked unsurprised to see them."I thought you might return," she said.Jaxon sat across from her. Elijah remained standing, positioning himself between them."The mark," Jaxon said without preamble. "Tell me what it means."Dr.

Elijah's penthouse felt too large and too empty when he returned.The elevator doors slid open with a whisper of steel. He stepped into the dark expanse of polished hardwood and floor-to-ceiling windows that framed the city below. Light pollution painted the night sky in shades of amber and bruised

Elijah arrived at the basement before everyone else.The room sat in silence. The chairs were arranged in their familiar circle. The faint smell of coffee drifted from the corner. The air felt still, as if the room waited for something that had not happened yet.He tried to tell himself he was earl

In Elijah’s world, grief meant a wolf on its knees, howling into the night until its throat turned raw. It meant shredded earth under claws and breath that burned like fire. It meant bones cracking beneath the weight of a pain that refused to sit quietly.That was how wolves grieved.Elijah did not
My Grief Counselor’s a Liar CHAPTER 1
Elijah Black smelled the grief before he saw anyone. It clung to the basement hallway of St. Catherine’s Church like damp fabric and old sorrow. The subtle mix of cold coffee, stale carpet, and quiet misery settled around him as he paused with his hand on the doorknob. His pulse remained steady, hi
