LOGINBetrayed by her family and branded with a ruined reputation, Raya Everhart had no choice but to flee with her mate. In a conservative pack like Micah’s own, she was a blemish and a curse and the past had a way of catching up with her. The price, the life of her mate. Cast out to atone for her mate’s death and rejected by her second-chance mate, Raya is forced to live as a rogue among humans. Just as she had begun to settle into her new life, the moon goddess placed another obstacle in her way, Rowan. Rowan had long given up his status, choosing to live among humans, but when their paths collided, sparks ignited and secrets began to be uncovered. But Raya’s heart has already been shattered twice, and she refuses to be bound again, especially when there is no bond between them. As the saying goes, the third time is the charm, or is she just cursed to remain alone forever?
View More“Hi?” I scoffed at the choice of words, one brow lifting.‘Hi’ was for friends you saw every day and talked with. Hi was for someone you have actually established a relationship with, and it was going well. Not for mates you pretended didn’t exist.I tucked my arms together, trying to control the wave of anger that was fast building up inside me. “What do you want?” My tone came out harsher than I intended, so much so that my companions whipped their heads to look at me, but they soon turned back to the TV and tried to pretend like they weren’t listening.If it were before, I would have worried about their perception of us, but right now, they could think whatever they wanted. I have ceased caring; besides, it was no rumor that Lucan hated me anyways.“Raya?” Lucan tried again, as if he knew what he had done wrong. His hands raked through his hair, all tousled and scattered from the motion. Yet, I refused to look at his face, refused to stare at anything that would make my resolve
“Ahhhh!” I screamed into the pillow, the frustration clawing up my throat. My fingers tightened around it, wishing it was Lucan’s neck.On second thought, we were yet to consummate our relationship, so I would have to keep off snapping his neck till another time, but still…“Ahhhhh!” I slammed my palm into the mattress, wishing I could channel my anger properly.Lucan was sooo frustrating.How did he manage to be so self-absorbed, so cold inside? He couldn’t even follow behind me to apologize or even comfort me.“Fuck you!” I yelled to the room and whatever entities that were occupying it, as it was the only way to blow off some steam.I wished things were different, that his mate had never died, that I was never here, that Micah was still alive.A vivid image of Micah’s face flashed through my mind, and I squeezed my eyes shut, shoving the memory down. It was easier this way than accepting a world where he no longer existed.I inhaled deeply, but all I could smell was the sweat soake
“Lucan?” I gasped, staring at him and trying to ignore the obvious accusation he had laid out. “How are you doing?” I let my gaze sweep through him, at the black and white striped shirt he wore and loose pants.His eyes were a stormy green, fluttering between me and his brother, but I ignored it, letting my gaze drift lower to his hands. They were now tightened to a fist, twitching every now and then by his side.My gaze returned back to his face, but he was doing a good job ignoring me, choosing instead to stare daggers at his brother. “I asked you a question, Ridan!” Lucan barked, baring his teeth, and my hands reached for him, wanting to comfort him, but he evaded my touch, and I hated the feeling of worthlessness that clawed my throat at his rejection. “What could you possibly be doing with my mate?” His voice had taken on a certain timbre, a deathly tone to it, and I shivered despite myself.“Lucan,” I tried this smile, my voice softer. “I think you are just jumping to conclusio
Ridan straightened as he heard the seriousness in my voice, and the smile he had been sporting disappeared. “I told you already, I came to pay my respects.”I looked at him with squinted eyes, trying to decipher whatever I could from his eyes, but he shared the blood with Lucan after all, and right now his face was expressionless, not giving anything away. “You don’t believe me?” He asked incredulously, and a brow shot up.“Should I?”Ridan gave it a thought, stroking his clean-shaven beard, and he shrugged. “I suppose I see reasons why you don’t believe me, but I have no ill intentions towards you or my brother.” He said in a solemn voice, his eyes, dare I say, pleading.And it was easy to believe such words, especially when they came from a face that looked like my mate, but I knew better, so instead I gave him a nod.“I suppose you are welcome then.” I said carefully, and his stoic face was transformed as his lips widened in a smile.“Thank you, but I reckon I would be the one wel
