LOGIN"Your sister has already been through so much, why can't you let her have this?" "But today was supposed to be my wedding! How can I just stand aside and let her have my mate?" •••••• After four long years, her awaited wedding finally arrives. What Tamara Vladis expected to be a pivotal moment in her life remained so but for all the wrong reasons. Her mate, the future alpha of Crestwood Pack, publicly humiliates her, firmly stating that she cannot be his mate because she is wolfless. In the same breath he shares a deep kiss with her twin, Tiana, declaring her as his luna. Tamara turned to her parents for support, but they had her flimsy excuses, firmly backing the union of her longtime mate and sister. Tamara no longer has a place in Crestwood, she is pressured to leave and accidentally trespasses into Phoenix Dawn territory, the moment she locks eyes with their Alpha her entire world tilts on his axis as the mate bond between them sparks to live. But unfortunately between their families lies a checkered history painted with blood and betrayal. Will this fresh flame that burns them to their core wiping off any rational thought in their heads survive a past fault that birthed present scars? Or will it couple with the overwhelming power awakening within Tamara and consume both of them?
View MoreTamara’s POVThe silence after blood is never quiet.It hums.Low. Heavy. Like the air itself remembers what just happened and refuses to let it go.I sit on the edge of the narrow bed they dragged me back to, my hands still shaking, wrists raw where iron had kissed skin too tightly. The room is smaller than the dungeon, somehow worse. Stone walls. One torch. A single window too high to reach, barred like a reminder instead of a hope.My dress is ruined. Torn at the hem. Dark with dirt and something else I don’t want to name. I press my fingers into my palms until my nails bite, grounding myself in pain that belongs to me.I won’t cry.I won’t give this place that satisfaction.The door creaks.I don’t look up. I already know who it is. My body knows before my mind does, that shift in the air, that pull, that infuriating awareness that has followed me since the day Kieran first looked at me like I was both prey and problem.“Still alive,” he says.His voice is calm. Too calm. Like wha
Tamara’s POVThey didn’t untie me until we were far from the pack borders.Not out of kindness. Out of caution.The forest around us grew more and more wrong the farther we went. The trees twisted closer together, their branches clawing at the sky like skeletal fingers. The air smelled stale, heavy with rot and old blood. Even without a wolf, even without knowing territories by instinct, I felt it.This place was death waiting to happen.One of the warriors finally cut the chain from my wrist. The metal clanged to the ground, loud in the silence.“Run,” he muttered, eyes refusing to meet mine.I flexed my fingers slowly. My wrist burned, skin raw where iron had rubbed for too long.“Where am I?” I asked, though I already knew.No answer.The other warrior shifted uncomfortably. “If you’re smart, you’ll head east. If you’re not… well.”He shrugged.Then they were gone.Just like that.No dramatic shove. No final threat. Just abandonment in its purest form.I stood there for a long mome
Kieran’s POV“Would your father not care even if we sent your corpse to him?”The words lingered between us, thick and sharp, like smoke that refused to clear.Most prisoners cried at that point. Some begged. Some screamed my name like it would save them. Others fainted outright. I had seen it all. Fear always found a way to the surface.But Tamara Vladis only looked at me.Not with defiance.Not with terror.With something far worse.Acceptance.Her lips parted slowly, and when she spoke, her voice was calm enough to unsettle me.“Then you’d be wasting a perfectly good body.”My wolf reared back inside me, snarling, confused. She’s broken.No—broken things still clung to life.This one had already let go.I tightened my grip on her chin, forcing her to look at me fully. Her eyes were dull around the edges, like the light inside them had been scraped away piece by piece over time. There were shadows under them too—deep, permanent shadows that had nothing to do with exhaustion.“You ex
Kieren’s POV“A mind link just came from the border, some of the warriors said that there is an intruder; a rogue female. She has no park affiliation and claims not to be a spy but that is to be proven.” My personal aide Alex said completing his report.The pen within my grasp was placed at the side of my table. I inhaled a deep breath, as an alpha to a large pack there was really never a moment of rest.I pushed myself up to my feet half circling across my table and making a bee line for the door.Following procedure they were supposed to bring her to my throne room so that was where I was headed Alex dutifully followed beside me.I thought it was business as usual, imagine my surprise at the rollercoaster of emotions that hit me.I had found my mate.And out of the billion other women she could have been she just had to be the spawn of the man I despised with every drop of blood in my body.That night I knew I couldn't sleep.My body rolled from one side of the king sized bed over t
Tamara's POV “I have always loved you and always will, Tam. Nothing can change that.” Why does my mind keep replaying this same memory?He pressed a soft kiss against my forehead, playfully fiddling with my fingers. I beamed from one ear over to the next.“Same here. I don't think I'll know what
Tamara's POV He held the check higher as if I wasn't already seeing it. “Let's not drag this on any longer.” He said dismissively.When I still didn't take it from him he tossed the cheque on the floor.“What's wrong with you?” He snapped, “both of us already know that there is nothing left for y
Tamara's POV “Tammy, I know you're upset but you need to eat something,” Mother said, trying to guide a spoonful of porridge past my lips.It had been two days since my discharge, I hadn't eaten a single morsel of food and I was planning to keep it that way“Upset?” I spat out, “is that all you ha
Tamara's pov“I,Caden Jasper, heir of the Crestwood Alpha, reject you, Tamara Vladis, as my mate.” A dark pit swallowed my heart whole, the very ground I stood on tilted.The pack hall was instantly flooded with murmurs, confusion swirling into every exchange.“Why?” My voice cracked past my tremb
