LOGINHis eyes darkened, almost predatory. "I can’t stay away, even if I wanted to. I’ve been consumed with thoughts of having you." He paused, "And I could never watch another man claim you. Don’t worry, tiger. I’m not going to force you. But I’ll pursue you until you want me as much as I want you." He leaned back, eyes fixed on me. "I’ll uncover who hurt you and made you this way. And when I do, I’ll make sure he pays tenfold. It’s a promise." In a world where being “DIFFERENT” is abhorred, wolf-less Raya is shunned by her pack and betrayed by the two she trusted most—her mate, Alpha Draco, and her best friend, Melissa. When their betrayal costs Raya her life and unborn pup, the Goddess Selene grants her a second chance. Reborn into a different body as Hera, Raya vows revenge. But her plans are thrown into chaos when she discovers she is mated to Calhoun, the kingdom’s strongest Alpha, and two others—one of them a female whose love she never expected. Now caught in the crossfire of love, war, and an unyielding thirst for vengeance, Hera must make a choice: sacrifice everything for revenge, or dare to embrace a love that could ruin her.

A forensic team has also been deployed. Your rides are outside and ready at your command," he replied. I nodded and waved him off. "Thank you." He curtsied and retreated through the doorway. "How was your night, tiger?" I murmured, tilting my head just enough to catch her face. She cleared her throat. "It was fine. And yours?" "I'm glad to see you’re in the mood to talk," I teased, my voice a low hum. "Where went the feisty woman who hated my guts?" The sound of cutlery clattering against glass filled the room. Hera’s face twisted in annoyance, but she quickly masked it and continued poking at her food. "My reason for being here is important, and I won’t let you take that from me." Her voice dropped—lower, deeper—a silent challenge. "If you can’t commit to it, then hands off. Return to your pack
HERA'S POV Two days had passed since the party; there was Calhoun's touch and the elusive stranger I met, all moments from that night occasionally greeting my mind. The coming days were a mystery, and I looked forward to what awaited me in Glimside City. I heaved my luggage off the bed—the morning of our short journey had finally arrived. A couple of my clothes and shoes were folded into the box; based on my intuition, the investigation and relief activities shouldn't tarry—hence the small luggage. The room's warmth vanished as I stepped out the door, my pink puffy tote bag on my shoulder, my luggage and my tiny clutch bag in hand. I glanced at the room again; its white and gold colours, crackling fireplace and elegant tapestries were now a familiarity I wouldn't know for a while. "Hera dear", Draco's mom called in her regular soothing voice—a melodic beacon pulling me forward. "I'm coming, Mom", I hollered and rushed downstairs, where everyone awaited. I slipped on a warm sm
CALHOUN'S POVI sat clenched, legs crossed on a plush red cushion nestled at the edge of the ballroom, away from the crowd and its chatter.The night stretched on, my mind consumed by Hera; she looked stunning, her image refusing to leave my thoughts. Face wrinkled in irritation, laced with an innocence she didn’t even realize she had—I silently vowed to protect it with every breath I had left.The way her curves dipped perfectly, wrapped in silky emerald, its delicate sway drove me crazy. My eyes stayed fixed on her, following her every move, my mind drifting to the thought of her grey eyes pleading as I fucked her to ecstasy. Her perky breasts bounced, nipples hardening as I sucked on them—claiming every inch of her."Shit," I growled, face-palming myself. I needed a break before I ran mad with this sickening urge.A voice cut through my thoughts, the face it belonged to obscured by the carved concrete pillars to my left.A red-haired young man stepped out, his grin wide and eager.
HERA'S POV His claims had my heart melting, and every time he gazed at me with those deep-set eyes, I trembled, weak in the knees. "And I've told you, I'm not yours," I countered, my lips curling in annoyance. His chest reverberated with a dark chuckle, its hum sending a chilling thrill down my spine. Then his lips brushed my ear as he towered over me. "Yes, you are. And when you finally acknowledge it, I'll be waiting with arms wide open." The buttons on his maroon T-shirt were slightly undone, revealing his sculpted chest. His loose black suit pants fit him like a second skin, and goddess, was he gorgeous. "In the meantime," he paused, drawing me closer by the nape of my neck, "I don’t want to see you with any other man—if you value their lives," he whispered, his tone laced with an edge that sent a shiver racing down my spine.
