Mag-log inFor three years, I have lived as a prisoner of the Obsidian Fang Pack, trapped under the rule of my fated mate, Alpha Derrick Nightfang, a man who was destined to protect me but instead became part of my nightmare. When a mysterious warning suddenly urges me to run, I know something terrible is coming. But before I can escape, Derrick uncovers the secret I've spent years hiding, my connection to Moonshade Forest, a forbidden land shrouded in ancient magic, deadly dangers, and the powerful Shadowthorn Coven. Now, I'm forced to guide Derrick and his warriors into the heart of the forest in exchange for the freedom I've desperately longed for. But the deeper we venture into the shadows, the more secrets begin to unravel. Secrets about my father, Rowan Kingsley. Secrets about my past. And secrets powerful enough to change the fate of the entire Wild Expanse. What started as a journey through a dangerous forest soon becomes a fight for survival as hidden enemies emerge and dark truths come to light. And with every step closer to the truth, I can't help but wonder if the greatest threat is waiting within Moonshade Forest... or standing right beside me. When the secrets of the forest are finally revealed, will I finally gain my freedom, or discover that I was destined for something far more dangerous?
view moreAMIRA As we walked closer, an SUV pulled into the driveway. One of the guards at the house moved forward and opened the door for the passengers.A slim woman stepped out first. An older woman followed her.The first woman looked almost too delicate to be an alpha. Her salt-and-pepper hair was curled and pinned neatly at the top of her head. She wore a red pantsuit that fit her in a sharp, precise way.For a moment, an odd thought came to me. She was the kind of woman I might want to become one day. Calm. Put together. Effortless.But that feeling didn’t last.There was power in her. Not loud. Not open. It sat under her skin, steady and controlled.Violence, held back carefully. Hidden behind elegance.This was the woman who once threatened to kill a child.And still, she hadn’t gone through with it.“Derrick,” she said coldly as soon as she looked at him. “You kept me waiting.”Derrick Nightfang didn’t react much. His voice stayed even.“You arrived without notice,” he said. “We d
AMIRA Could barely focus on what Derrick Nightfang was saying while we walked back.An alpha was already here.Malachai.No doubt about it. Trying to unsettle Derrick. Trying to unsettle me too.It worked, even if I didn’t want to admit it.Not enough to shake me the way it used to, though.That version of me felt far away now. The one who used to flinch at his presence, who used to feel small under it.Whatever Malachai did back then, it didn’t own me anymore.It wouldn’t again.“Why did you walk?” The question came out before I could stop it.Derrick was still speaking. I cut him off without meaning to.“Sorry.”His jaw tightened. A small muscle moved there as he kept his eyes forward.“I walked because I don’t need to rearrange my entire day just because someone decides to arrive early,” he said. “We’re still preparing. That comes first.”His voice stayed even, but there was pressure under it.Control. Always control.“Right,” I said quietly.“Appearances matter.”Even as I said i
DERRICK It bothered me more than I wanted to admit.Not in the same way Amira’s friendship with Ronan bothered me, but it still sat under my skin, quiet and steady, refusing to leave.Ronan was still someone I didn’t fully understand. Too many parts of him were still closed off to me, still forming into something I could read properly.Damien was different.I had known him before he left. Before everything changed. Back then, trust between us had been simple. He had never given me a reason to question him, never made me doubt where he stood.The mate bond could be a cruel thing like that.Even worse when the other side didn’t feel it at all.“Thank you,” Damien said softly.His voice was calm, but there was something careful in it too. Like he already understood too much without needing it explained.His eyes stayed on me for a moment longer than necessary.“You’re about to take her away, aren’t you?”“I am.”There was a reason I had come to the restaurant to take Amira.A clear
DERRICK Damien Holloway wanted to be Amira's hero. He wanted to rescue her.From me.Not a chance.After hearing the offer Damien had made to Amira, I waited for him to find the courage to repeat those same words while facing me. The color had drained from his face, but he stayed where he was and gave a small nod."You have to believe that I don't mean any disrespect," he said in a steady voice. "My father believed your pack would never truly accept her. Deep down, you probably know that too. If she can't stay here, then she should at least have somewhere safe to go. I can protect her.""Your father has been dead for months," I said. "What took you so long to come here?"As I spoke, I walked behind Amira and rested one hand on her shoulder.She didn't flinch.That alone eased something inside me.My wolf was furious. The thought of another man trying to take my mate away was enough to make him snap at everything around him. My power spread out, reaching every wolf close enough to
