LOGIN“I, Alpha Silas of the Silver Moon Pack reject you, Elara Vance as my mate and Luna. You are a wolf-less mistake and a stain on the line of Alphas and you will never be mine.” Born of an elite Omega bloodline treasured for producing powerful Alphas, Elara Vance is cursed with a Silent Wolf. A very rare disability where a Lycan cannot shift or feel their wolf. For years she has endured the abuse and ridicule from her pack and the relentless cruelty from her sister, Noelle. She only survives through a desperate hope that her mate would see past her disability and choose her. Instead, he rejects her in front of the whole pack and chooses Noelle as his match and Luna. Heartbroken and hunted, Elara flees into the death-trap of The Black Ridge. She expects to meet her end, but she stumbles into the lair of a living legend, Valerius, the ancient Lycan King who had been presumed dead. And he sees in her what everyone else has failed to. Unimaginable power buried deep, the kind of which has never been seen before. Five years later, the King’s silence is over. It is time for a new ruler of all Wolves to take over. And he has trained her into something ruthless and unbreakable for this sole purpose. Now standing at the edge of ultimate power, will Elara rule her kind with mercy, or burn everyone who hurt her to dust?

どうしてこんな所に彼がいるの?
この会社で働き始めて8年、秘書室の中では結構な古参に入る。この4月から秘書室長の推薦を受けて代表取締役の|水無瀬《みなせ》社長の専属秘書となった。
今夜開催される新しいリゾート開発プロジェクトのラウンチパーティに、社長が同行すると言って連れて来た代表設計士は、朱莉が忘れようとして、いまだに忘れられない元カレだった。
秘書カウンターのこちら側で驚いた顔をしている自分を見つめて、向こうも一瞬目を見張ったが、その後すっと目を外された。
まぁ、そうでしょうね。今さら私を見たところで......朱莉は、心の中で苦々しくそう思った。
でも、私はそうじゃないのよ。ずっと忘れられなくて苦しかった。これだけ時間が経って、ようやく忘れられそうだったのに。
社長室に入っていく男の後姿を見つめながら、過去を振り返った。

|篠宮蒼也《しのみやそうや》と朱莉が出会ったのは、朱莉が大学1年の時だった。
その頃、朱莉は、弟の|聖《ひじり》と都内で2人暮らしをしていた。母が残してくれた保険金のおかげで大学への進学が叶い、朝夜アルバイトをすることでなんとか生活をすることができた。
特に夜のバイト先のバーは、店の雰囲気もとても良く、オーナーでバーテンダーの神木さんもとてもいい人で本当に大当たりのバイトだった。特に、客のいない時間には、事務所のPCで大学の課題をすることを許してくれるという神対応にまさしく“神木だけに神!”だった。
蒼也とは、客と店員としてバイト初日に出会った。
「珍しいね。神木さんが女の子のアルバイトを雇うなんて」
目の前に座る人の良さそうな笑顔が、人たらしな感じでちょっと警戒してしまったのは、もう自分が彼に惹かれ始めていたからだったのだと思う。
「朱莉ちゃん、|蒼《そう》ちゃんにはジントニと一緒にラスクとシチューを出してあげて」
そう言われて、店の隠れた売りでもあるバターラスクとシチューをカウンター越しに置いた。
「ありがとう。ほぼ毎日この店に来てるから、これからもよろしくね」
蒼也は、同じ大学の建築学専攻の大学院3年目で、1級建築士でもあった。
実はこのバーのリフォームの設計をしたのが初めての仕事だったのだそうだ。「もともと、このバーのある建物が、古くてすごくいい物だったから、前から通ってたんだよ。で、神木さんが、水回りがくたびれてるからリフォームしたいって話をしてたから、それ、考えさせてくれないかってお願いして」
タダで図面を引いて、知り合いの建築業者を紹介して、仕事を進めたらしい。
「学生の俺に好きなようにやっていいって言う神木さんは、本当に『神木だけに神』だよな」
そう言って、くしゃっと笑う顔にあっという間に落とされてしまった。
CHAPTER FOURThe SpellSilas’s POVThe taste of pennies drowned in syrup coats the back of my throat. It feels like choking on smoke, but my hands remain perfectly still as I hold the ceremonial iron dagger."Do it, Silas," a voice purrs inside my mind. It has a smooth, hypnotic and a soft velvet cadence to it, wrapping around my thoughts like thick ropes. "Slice your palm. Bind yourself to me, your soul is mine. I am your Luna."My body moves without my permission. I press the blade to my skin. Deep in the back of my mind, my wolf is howling in pain, his claws tearing at the walls of my own skull, begging me to stop. 'Wrong! Not her! Wrong!' He roars over and over again. But the voice in my head, the foreign, lulling sweetness hums an inviting melody and the fog settles right back over my eyes.Quick as light, I draw the blade across my palm. The pain barely registers as I have endured much worse. The blood wells, dark and hot.Noelle smiles, her eyes flashing with a gleam of triumph
CHAPTER THREEFramed and BanishedEmery’s POVI don’t know how, but I make it to the basement and throw myself into my cot. I can hear the celebration upstairs vibrating through the cold, stone floor of the room. Every thud of the bass feels like I am being repeatedly punched in the ribs and I swallow another round of screams.Growing up, you hear stories of the horror of what it is like for lycans to be rejected by their mates. We are taught to love and cherish whoever it is that the Moon Goddess sends your way in her infinite wisdom. We are told that rejecting your mate comes with a pain unlike any other and in most cases it leads to death.Why would Alpha Silas sentence me to death?No matter what we were taught, nothing prepares you for the visceral, gut-wrenching sorrow and ache that burrows deep within your bones and latches itself to your very being once you are rejected.I recall his cold face, even more colder was his voice as he looked through me and shattered every piece of
CHAPTER TWOFog and EchoSilas POVThe words are barely out of my mouth before a sharp pain, unlike anything I have ever felt, tears through my chest as I watch Emery fall to her knees. A hot pressure builds from the back of my skull and intensifies until I start to see spots in my vision and I begin to feel like my body is on fire.I can feel my wolf’s fury as he roils and tries to snap at me for my decision but I stand my ground, clench my fists and swallow the pain.Noelle comes to stand beside me and I wrap an arm around her shoulders and it is then all hell breaks loose.“How dare you?!” Alicia roars in outrage, glaring at Noelle. “Get away from him now.” She screeches and I barely register it as I can’t look away from the figure hunched and huddled on the ground, her shoulders shaking. The sight sends my wolf into a raged frenzy again, trying to claw his way to the front of my conscious mind.“You might want to consider your next actions and words, Alicia. I am to be your Luna,
CHAPTER ONEThe Moon CeremonyEmery’s POVThe ceramic bowl cracks apart into tiny pieces on the stone floor, the dirty water inside splashing across my worn leather boots.“Watch where you’re going, ground-crawler,” Keith, a low-ranking pack warrior sneers down at me, not bothering to look back as he joins the laughter of his friends.I don’t say a word as I let out a sigh and kneel to clean up the mess. I feel a slight tingle behind my eyes but the tears don’t come. Crying is a luxury that the Silver Moon Pack has beaten out of me years ago.I begin gathering the shards to the side and then wiping at the floor when a show falls over me.“The sight of you on your knees in the dirt is something I will never get tired of,” says a voice that has me tensing instantly.“It serves as the perfect reminder that filth like you belongs beneath me.” Alicia’s nasally cold tone bears down on me and I look up at her.As usual, she is impeccably put together, her honey-blonde hair falling in perfect
