로그인Everyone in Phantom Pack knew their Alpha, Riven Drake, was devoted to me — completely and without question. No matter how slammed he was, he always called to check in, right on time, every time. But the night before our marking ceremony, he vanished. No call, no word, nothing. I lost all sense of him through our mate bond, and my gut told me he was in danger. I was ready to drop everything and go find him — body wrecked as I was — when he finally walked through the door. He came in holding a woman who reeked of him, barely able to stand, and dropped to his knees in front of me. "Natasha, Helen got hurt saving my life. I can't just let her die." To atone for his sins before me, he stabbed himself with a silver dagger. Then, not even an hour after our marking ceremony ended, I heard his Beta laughing with him: "Alpha, that aphrodisiac must've been something else. Helen looked like she was about to pass out." Riven's voice had a satisfied edge to it. "Yeah, I'll have to go easier next time. Don't want her cutting me off." "Anyway — my little troublemaker's calling." It hit me like a punch to the chest. I picked up my phone and called my brother. "Cole. I want to come home to Starlight Pack. Can you send someone in five days?" He sounded surprised, then happy. "Of course. I'll have someone there in five days." Five days. I was giving myself five days. Giving Riven five days. He thought I was just another werewolf. Thought he had me completely figured out. He had no idea I was something else entirely — a descendant of the Dragon Clan, something out of legend. I was never his to control.
더 보기Natasha’s POVRiven watched us walk out the door and then just... sat there, like someone had cut the strings.He didn't know how long he'd been sitting when a man appeared in front of him — a stranger, but something about his face was familiar.Riven frowned. "Can I help you?""Hi. I'm Natasha's brother. Cole. And you're Riven?"Riven went still. "She never mentioned a brother."Cole sat down across from him with an easy smile. "Our situation's a little complicated. I'm sure you understand by now — she couldn't exactly bring it up."He folded his hands on the table. "But I'll tell you this — my sister loved you with everything she had."The smile faded. "And you threw it away.""I love Natasha," Riven said quickly. "Helen was only ever about having an heir for the pack. I never—""Shut up!" Cole's voice dropped. "You have no right to mention the child!""You keep saying it was about your heir. Do you remember what you promised her?""Five years ago, my idiot sister told me you didn't
Natasha’s POVMy whole body locked up.Riven. How did he find me here?I pulled my expression back together and turned around. "Long time no see. What are you doing here?"He was breathing hard, voice rough. "I've been looking for you for a while. Someone told me you were here — I drove straight over.""Natasha, I know everything now. Helen planned all of it. She played me. I've already thrown her out of Phantom Pack.""You're the only Luna I want. Please — come back with me."That last part made Kai's eyes go wide. He stepped in front of me before I could speak, glaring at Riven like a wolf defending his territory.Riven frowned. "I'm Natasha's mate. Who are you?""She told me she's single. Just because you've got a mouth doesn't mean you get to run it. For all you know, she's my mate."I sighed and moved Kai behind me."Riven. We're done. We've been done since the moment you decided to keep whatever you had going with Helen.""You showing up here just reminded me — we should finalize
Natasha’s POVThe car slowed as Starlight Pack came into view on the horizon.I barely had the door open before Cole had his arms around me.The Starlight Alpha stood nearby, exhaling slowly. "You're home. That's what matters."My eyes burned.My parents died when I was young. It was Starlight Pack's Alpha who took in me and Cole and raised us. When I was sixteen, I left on a mission and fell head-over-heels for Riven on the spot. I never went back.Nearly ten years without seeing my brother, all for something I'd called love.I felt the guilt of it settle heavy in my chest — time I'd wasted, people I'd left behind, a man who'd raised me that I'd never properly thanked."Natasha! Long time no see!"A bright, easy voice. I turned.A young man I almost didn't recognize — white t-shirt, arms filling out the sleeves, long legs in cargo pants tucked into boots. He looked like he'd gotten about a foot taller.I hesitated. "Kai?"He lit up, surprised I'd remembered. He'd been eight years old
Riven’s POVI sat in the living room for a long time after that call, turning the half-burned portraits over in my hands.Every one of them was proof of how much I loved her.I kept coming back to the moment I'd stormed into her room — screaming at her over Helen, ripping the portraits out of her hands without a second thought and sending them flying.What was going through her mind right then?She'd probably been sitting there with our memories, and I'd torn straight through them.For the first time, I felt something close to regret.I loved her. So why had I treated her like that for Helen's sake? Even if she'd made a mistake — acting out of jealousy, that was just love, too much love — I'd been too harsh.My phone buzzed. I grabbed it fast, hoping it was the Beta with news.It was Helen's doctor.I almost didn't answer. I did.The voice on the other end was shaking."Alpha. We've been running analysis on the blood samples from the transfusion. Natasha — she may actually be a Dragon
