로그인I never imagined betrayal could burn like this, until I walked in on my husband, screwing another woman, and everything I’d given ripped from me. Divorced, humiliated, my child torn from my arms, I fled to the city… a place ruled by power, desire, and danger. That’s when they found me. Four Alphas, impossible, relentless, and fated to me. They claimed me before I knew how to fight back. Their hands, their whispers, the heat of their bodies pressed against mine, leaving me trembling, aching, and alive in ways I’d never known. I came to Lunaris City with a single purpose: to rise above the law and reclaim what was stolen from me. But the four Alphas who stake their claim, the insatiable beasts who awaken every primal hunger, aren’t letting go. As danger, lust, and power swirl around me, I realize that to win what’s mine, I may have to surrender to all four of them… completely. Warning; This book contains explicit sexual content, dark romance, and mature themes. Intended for readers 18+.

“Sir Xavier…” “Umalis kayo sa harapan ko! Kapag may nangyari sa kanya dahil sa pagkaantala, sisiguraduhin kong mananagot kayong lahat!” ***** Sa gitna ng nag-uumapaw na ingay, isang galit na sigaw ang dahan-dahang gumigising kay Mayumi Santillan mula sa kawalan ng malay dulot ng car accident na kanyang kinasasangkutan. Pinilit niyang imulat ang mga mata at nakita ang isang pamilyar na pigura na tumatakbo palapit sa kanya, para itong diyos na bumababa mula sa kalangitan. Napuno ng luha ang kanyang mga mata dahil sa galak. Naipit siya sa nakataob na sasakyan, hindi niya alam kung ilang minuto o oras na siyang naroon. Akala niya ay hindi na darating si Xavier. Bago ang aksidente, nagkaroon sila ng pagtatalo. May plano sana silang magkita sa kumpanya noong gabing iyon, pero biglang kinansela iyon ni Xavier matapos makatanggap ng tawag sa telepono kinaumagahan, at simula noon ay hindi na nito sinasagot ang lahat ng tawag niya. Nang mangyari ang aksidente, ginamit niya ang huling natitirang baterya ng kanyang cellphone upang ipaalam kay Xavier ang nangyari sa kanya. Inakala niya, gaya ng dati, na babalewalain na naman nito ang message niya… but he is here now, ready to save him. “Hang on, baby. Daddy is here…” sabi niya habang hinihimas ang umbok sa kanyang tiyan. Napatingin siya sa dugong patuloy na umaagos sa mga binti niya. She is scared, of course, pero konting panahon na lang ay mare-rescue na siya. Nahihilo na siya sa pagkawala ng maraming dugo sa kanyang katawan, pero konting minuto na lang ang hihintayin niya. Gusto niyang sumigaw at tawagin ang pangalan ni Xavier, pero natuyot na ang kanyang lalamunan kaya’t walang tunog na lumalabas.Pero hindi na iyon mahalaga, ang importante ay natagpuan na siya ni Xavier. Marahan niyang inangat ang braso at pilit na kumaway… Ngunit sa kanyang pagkabigla ay nilampasan siya ni Xavier. Ni hindi man lang ito huminto at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad. Naguluhan siya, napagkamalan ba ni Xavier na ibang tao siya? Hindi niya kasi minamaneho ang kotseng pag-aari ng pamilyang Valerio sa araw na iyon. Ginamit iyon ng hipag niya. Ang kotseng dala niya ay regalo ng kanyang ina. Bihira niya iyong gamitin kaya normal lang na hindi ito nakilala ni Xavier. Wala na siyang oras para mag-isip ng kung ano-ano. She tried calling his name to get his attention… pero wala. At dahil sa tuloy-tuloy na pag-agos ng dugo sa kanyang binti, naubos na ang kanyang lakas. Maging ang pagsasalita ay hindi na niya magawa. Hindi siya narinig ni Xavier. Nagpatuloy ito sa paglalakad hanggang sa marating ang puting kotse na naging sanhi ng aksidente. Bago pa man siya makapag-react, binuksan nito ang pinto at kinarga ang isang nanginginig na babae. Ang babae ay nakasuot ng mahabang coat, payat at sopistikada, may nakakabighaning ganda na agad na makukuha ang atensyon ninuman. Nang makita niya ang mukha nito, pakiramdam niya ay nahulog sya sa isang nagyeyelong bangin. The girl is no other than Xavier’s first love… Ysabel Cortez! Bigla niyang naalala kung paano biglang lumiko ang kotseng sakay nito kanina. Hinahabol siya na parang baliw. Ni hindi man lang siya binigyan ng pagkakataong makaiwas. Ang kotse nito ay nasa gilid ng kalsada, samantalang ang sa kanya ay nakataob. Pero bakit parang ito pa ang mukhang kawawa? At ang sarili niyang asawa ay yakap-yakap ang ibang babae, samantalang siya ay halos nag-aagaw-buhay na! Hindi nya lubos maisip kung bakit biglang umuwi ng bansa si Ysabel, ang alam niya ay nasa abroad ang dalaga. At bakit tila nagkataon naman na si Ysabel pa ang bumangga sa sasakyan niya? Iwinaksi niya ang mga naisip. Ang mahalaga ngayon ay ma-rescue siya at ang kanyang anak. Habang pilit niyang kinakatok ang bintana, napansin ng isa sa mga bodyguard ni Xavier ang paggalaw sa loob ng sasakyan niya. Mukhang nakilala nito ang kotseng gamit niya. Muli siyang sumigaw, pero wala pa ring boses na lumalabas sa bibig niya. “Sir, may tao pa po sa loob ng sasakyang iyon!” narinig niyang sigaw ng bodyguard ni Xavier. ***** Napalingon si Xavier Luis Valerio sa kotse na itinuro ng kanyang bodyguard. Ang babaeng nasa loob ay puno ng dugo at patuloy pa sa pagdurugo. Pero sa kabila ng dugong bumabalot sa mukha nito ay tila pamilyar ang babae sa kanya. Natigilan siya, akmang lalapitan ang kabilang kotse, nang biglang umungol sa sakit ang babaeng hawak-hawak niya… si Ysabel Cortez. Bigla siyang nataranta. “Nasugatan si Ysabel! Dalhin natin siya sa ospital!” sigaw niya sa kanyang mga bodyguard. “Pero, sir… paano ang babae sa kabilang kotse?” Hindi na nito tinuloy ang sasabihin dahil sa takot sa kanyang mga titig. Wala itong nagawa kundi sumunod sa utos nya. “Sige po, sir… tara na po sa ospital…” sambit nito. **** Walang habas na tumutulo ang mga luha ni Mayumi. Wala siyang nagawa kundi panoorin si Xavier na sinulyapan lang siya bago muling naglakad pabalik sa kotse nito at buhat-buhat si Ysabel. “Xavier! Iligtas mo ako! Iligtas mo ang anak natin!…” Inubos niya ang buong lakas sa pagsigaw, pero hindi pa rin iyon sapat. Walang kahit sinong pumansin sa kanya. Mabilis na umarangkada ang sasakyan ni Xavier, karga si Ysabel sa loob. Wala na siyang nagawa kundi panoorin habang unti-unting naglalaho ang kotse papunta sa malayo. Pilit niyang nilalabanan ang pag-pikit ng mga mata kahit pa matinding sakit at kirot na ang nararamdaman sa buo niyang katawan. Nang hindi na niya nakayanan, dumilim ang lahat sa paligid at muli siyang nawalan ng malay.ZORYAThe bond screamed before the alarm ever did.It wasn’t pain at first. It was absence—a sudden, hollow quiet where Vivia’s bright, chaotic presence should have been. I was standing in the council antechamber when it hit me, breath stuttering, fingers curling into my palm as if I could grab the sensation and drag it back.“No,” I whispered.Ares was at my side instantly. “Zorya.”“She’s gone,” I said, voice shaking despite myself. “Vivia’s gone.”The air changed.Gunner’s shoulders locked, every muscle going rigid like a coiled weapon. Finn’s usual grin vanished so completely it frightened me more than his anger ever could. Kai didn’t move at all—but the mental bridge he maintained with the city flared, information rippling outward as he searched.Too late.I felt it then. A familiar pressure at the edge of my thoughts. Silk-wrapped iron.Zorya.Kaelen’s voice slid into my mind like a blade slipping between ribs.I staggered, Ares catching me before I hit the marble floor. Rage su
ZORYAI let my body go slack on purpose.That was the first lie.The second was the way my breath stuttered, shallow and uneven, as if the ritual had finally hollowed me out. I let my head roll against Ares’s chest, let my weight sag fully into him, trusted him to understand without words.For a heartbeat—just one—I felt panic ripple through the bond.Then stillness.Ares caught it first. Not fear. Not grief.Calculation.Kaelen mistook that stillness for defeat.He laughed softly, the sound echoing through the ruined chamber like glass chimes breaking. “There it is,” he said, satisfaction curling every syllable. “The end of resistance. The body always gives up before the will, but in the end—”He stepped closer.Closer than he had any right to be.I felt his magic probe me, cautious now, tasting the bond the way a predator tests a wound. He expected chaos. Fracture. A shattered conduit he could reassemble at leisure.Instead, he found quiet.A void.And he mistook it for emptiness.“
ZORYAThe first thing I felt was the change in Ares.Not the heat—he was always heat, always fire and iron and command—but the absence of it.The pressure he kept on the bond, the constant, unconscious pull of an Alpha who had been born to lead and never taught how to loosen his grip… it eased.I gasped, not because it hurt, but because it startled me.Ares—His presence didn’t retreat. That was the terrifying part. He didn’t pull away.He opened.I felt it like a door unlatched in my chest. Like armor being set down piece by piece. His power, once coiled tight and ready to strike, spread outward instead—wide, steady, offering rather than claiming.For the first time since I’d known him, Ares wasn’t holding me upright.He was trusting me not to fall.I turned toward him, still bound in the circle of the ritual, sigils glowing weakly now as Kai’s bridge stabilized and Gunner’s anchoring held. Ares stood directly across from me, shoulders squared, jaw clenched so tight I could hear his
ZORYAKai went still.Not the rigid stillness of fear, or the coiled stillness of violence—but the deep, deliberate quiet that came when a mind decided to become a doorway.I felt it before I saw it. The bond changed texture, like water settling after a storm. Gunner’s raw strength still burned at my back, Ares’s fury simmered like a sun barely contained, Finn’s balance shimmered on the edge of laughter and grief—but Kai… Kai smoothed the chaos into something breathable.“Kai,” I whispered, my voice threaded thin through pain and power. “What are you doing?”His eyes lifted to mine, dark and unblinking. There was no fear in them. Only intention.“Building a bridge,” he said quietly. “Stay with me.”Kaelen laughed under his breath, the sound sharp and disbelieving. “You think control will save you now? This ritual feeds on fracture.”“It feeds on isolation,” Kai corrected, his tone mild. Dangerous. “You made one mistake, Kaelen. You assumed she could only be used as a conduit.”The sig
ZORYAThe power didn’t stop when I stepped into the center.It answered.The sigils beneath my feet flared white-hot, no longer jagged but fluid, flowing like moonlight poured into stone. The air thickened, pressure bearing down on my lungs until every breath felt earned. My knees buckled, and I ba
ZORYAThe runes didn’t fade.They waited.I felt that truth before I saw it—before my eyes opened fully and took in the fractured circle etched into the stone beneath me, before the air stopped vibrating with Kaelen’s voice. The ritual wasn’t broken. It was paused, like a predator crouched in tall
ZORYAPain had a rhythm.That was the first thing I realized as consciousness returned in fragments—beats of agony rolling through me in time with the runes etched into the stone beneath my back. Each pulse pulled at the bond, not violently anymore, but insistently, like fingers prying at a lock th
ZORYAThe dark wasn’t empty.It breathed.That was the first thing I realized when I stopped screaming—when I stopped fighting the restraints biting into my wrists and ankles, when I stopped wasting strength on Kaelen’s cage. The shadows around me pulsed, not with magic alone, but with intent. With
