"Let me go!” I demanded, thrashing in his hold, but he tightened his grip around me. “Stop moving, little wolf,” he said, his voice calm but firm. You are mine, Lena.” “Your body and soul belong to me, and there is nothing you can do about it.” A gasp rips from my throat, but Kyler swallows the sound, his mouth crashing down on mine in a possessive kiss. ****** Lena leon thought she was destined for a life of love and honor as the Luna of the Bloodthorn Pack.

Alpha Kyler of the Silver Fang Pack is ruthless and dominant. And now, he owns her. But Lena refuses to be anyone’s possession. She is determined to carve her part and reclaim the power that was stolen from her. Yet, as dark secrets unravel and an ancient prophecy is revealed, she realizes fate has far greater plans. Kyler may have bought her body, but will he claim her heart? Or will Lena rise from the ashes of her betrayal and become the Luna she was truly destined for…
View MoreLena’s POV
Tonight was supposed to be a night of triumph. A night where I stood beside my mate, the man the Moon Goddess had fated me to, as he ascended to his rightful place as Alpha. Instead, I stood at the edge of the grand ballroom, my hands clenched at my sides, my throat tight with humiliation.
The hall was dazzling, chandeliers bathed the room in warm light, casting a golden glow over the guests who laughed, drank, and celebrated. It should have been a perfect night. But the moment my husband stepped onto the stage, the atmosphere stirred.
Damian looked every bit the Alpha in his tailored black suit, his piercing green eyes sweeping over the crowd with authority. His presence commanded attention, his dark hair perfectly styled, his lips curled in a smirk that made the she-wolves in the room sigh in admiration. And yet, despite being his Luna, the woman who had stood by his side through blood and sacrifice, he hadn’t even looked at me.
I swallowed past the lump in my throat as an Elder raised a glass to toast him. “To the future of the Bloodthorn pack! To our new Alpha, Damian Stormborn!” The hall erupted in cheers, glasses clinking, voices chanting praises to him.
Tradition dictated that as the newly crowned Alpha, Damian would turn to me, and acknowledge my role together in leading the pack. But he didn’t.
Instead, Damian, smirk widened, and he reached out—not for me, but for her.
Vivian.
The hall fell silent as he pulled her onto the stage, his arm wrapping around her waist with a possessiveness that he had never shown me in public. The blonde she-wolf’s lips curled in satisfaction as she leaned into his touch, her violet dress clinging to her perfect figure.
“Damian—” My voice came out barely above a whisper, but he didn’t even flinch.
Instead, he turned to the crowd, his voice strong and unwavering. “This night is about celebrating not just my leadership, but the people who have stood by me. The ones who truly matter.” He glanced down at Vivian, staring at her with admiration.
“I wouldn’t be standing here today without her, she has been my backbone and my greatest support”
A murmur rippled through the room. My heart twisted painfully as I stared at them, at how naturally she fit against his side, at how the pack accepted it.
Vivian lifted her chin, her smug gaze flickering to me for a split second before she turned back to Damian, feigning humility. “Damian, you give me too much credit.”
He chuckled, tightening his grip on her waist. “Never, you deserve everything, you have been so helpful to me”
A sharp pain lanced through my chest as if our mate bond itself was splintering apart. It wasn’t just the public humiliation, it was the realization that Damian had never planned to honor me. That I was merely an obligation to him, while Vivian was his choice.
The pack’s Elder shifted uncomfortably, his gaze darting toward me as if expecting me to make a scene. But what was I supposed to do? Fight for a place at my own mate’s side when he had just declared, in front of our entire pack, that someone else was more deserving?
My fingers trembled at my sides, but I refused to let my pain show.
Damian turned back to the pack, raising his glass. “To a new era. To strength, power, and the future of Bloodthorn.”
“To Bloodthorn!” The pack echoed, unaware of the pain that tightened my chest.
I couldn't recognize Damian anymore, where were those soft eyes that had always looked at me with love?
How about the soft lips that had whispered lovely words of affirmation to me at night?
I couldn't find all of this, they were replaced with stern eyes and lips that sang praises to another woman.
And then, just when I thought the night couldn’t get worse, Damian did something unforgivable.
"Lena Nightshade," Damian’s voice boomed, echoing through the open-air arena. "You are a disgrace to this pack. A faithless, lying mate who doesn't deserve the title of my Luna."
A wave of murmurs spread through the crowd. I could feel the stares piercing my skin, the judgment, the whispers. My wolf weakened and barely responsive, curled into herself in my mind.
"Damian, please," I whispered, stepping closer. "Don't do this here. Whatever you want to say, we can… settle at home”
"Silence!" He snarled, eyes flashing with Alpha dominance, forcing my legs to tremble. He turned to the pack, his expression filled with contempt.
"You all know in this pack, we cherish loyalty. Our mates are supposed to be our fated halves, our destiny. And yet, this woman—" He lifted a trembling hand and pointed at me as if I were filth.
"This woman is a whore."
Gasps erupted from the crowd.
My stomach plummeted.
"Damian —what are you—?"
And then the screen behind him flickered to life.
I turned just in time to see the worst moment of my life playing before hundreds of eyes.
It was me, stark naked and vulnerable, entangled in the arms of another man.
A strangled sob clawed up my throat.
"No—no, this isn’t me"
The crowd's reaction was filled with shock and outrage.
"Disgusting!"
"A Luna should be pure!"
"She betrayed the Alpha!"
I stumbled back, shaking my head wildly.
"I didn't—this isn't real!" My voice cracked, but it didn't matter.
He leaned down and pressed a lingering kiss to Vivian’s temple.
“Will you be my Luna?” He pulled a ring out and knelt before Vivian,
She beamed in excitement, her face filled with smug smiles as she stole victorious glances at me.
I clenched my fists tight as I struggled to keep the tears that flooded my eyes from dropping down.
I was not going to cry anymore, not after the countless times I had cried and begged him to start loving me the right way, the way I truly deserved.
The hall grew noisy from the shouts of pack members.
“Say yes, Say yes” their voices echoed, urging Vivian to accept the marriage proposal.
My chest tightened with despair as tears welled up my eyes. I knew Kieran had been cheating on me all these while but did he decide to openly disgrace me?
I couldn't believe he asked me to follow him here just to humiliate and make jest of me.
The people that are meant to protect me were also shoving me away?
Supporting Vivian, my husband's mistress, and rejecting me?
That was just too much for me to handle in a single day.
“I think I should leave, now” I whispered to myself as I made to turn back not until a hand gripped me.
It was Damian.
“You can't go now!” He commanded, his voice laced with authority. Just when I thought I had been tortured enough, Beta Aldric made his way through the crowd, a pack of files clasped tightly in his hands.
He handed over a file to me, as he stared directly into my face.
“Sign this!”
My heart skipped a beat as I glanced at the papers.
“Divorce?”
“Damian, what the hell is all this about?” I questioned, my voice cracking with pain.
“Haven't you tortured me enough?” I protested, causing the crowd to explode into murmurs.
“He is also divorcing her” a voice cut through the crowd, making my chest tighten.
“I knew she had always been a burden to him,” another added.
“She is not fit to be Luna, I had always known that” they supported.
“You are just a pathetic burden to me, Lena, you aren't fit to be my Luna and today, I, Alpha Damian reject you, Lena Leon as my mate, your position as Luna has been denounced”.
His words confirmed my fears, Damian had just rejected me and that was the end.
“You can sign the papers now” he ordered, his voice cold and icy, lacking no flicker of regret.
I took hold of the papers, it was from the Council of Elders, and seeing Damian’s signature stamped on it, I knew that was the end.
There is no sort of reverse.
I gently scrawled my signature and name into it, my eyes burning with tears.
“Good” Damian nodded immediately, and I handed over the paper to Beta Aldric.
“Now, I need only one more thing from you” Damian flicks his finger lazily, Vivian bursting into a round of hysterical laughter.
“I will reject the mate bond and leave the pack”
“What else?” I queried, as I struggled to stay strong.
My knees buckled as though unable to carry my weight any longer.
“No, Lena you aren't going anywhere, I may have divorced you but I still own you” he stated.
Before I could make sense of the whole situation, two gammas gripped me from behind.
Lena’s POV"You know you can't reject me, right?" Kyler said, his voice low and cruel as he fixed his gaze on me."Think of what the pack would say..."He took a step closer, and I stood there frozen like a fool, clutching my bag tighter."You want to leave, right?" he continued, a mocking smile spread across his lips. "Close your eyes, Lena. Just imagine the news spreading... Imagine how the pack media would eat this up."He leaned in like he was sharing a secret, and his voice sank deep into my skin."Imagine the names they would tag you…“They will drag your reputation through mud….”“Imagine how all the pack members, even the lowest of the low omega, would call you a slut who can't hold onto her bond.""They would say you can’t stick to a man. You’re jumping from one mate to another like a lost little girl.”He chuckled, and it cut deeper than any knife."Take a moment to think of how Alison would laugh so hard she might choke on her spit."Without knowing it, my bag slipped fr
Kyler's POVWithout wasting another second with Alison, I sprinted off to Lena’s room like my life depended on it.It barely took me three minutes before I arrived at Lena’s room. My heart sank deep into my stomach as I flung the door open only to find her packing a few clothes into a small bag.I could hardly tell if she noticed my presence or not, as she didn't even acknowledge it, not even with a mere glance at me.I stood at the door silently, watching her tie her hair into a messy ponytail. Then she turned slightly to look at herself in the mirror, adjusting the strands that escaped.As she played around with her reflection in the mirror, a strange sense of pride washed over me.I couldn't even deny it.Goddess!.This girl was an angel.I mean, she was damn beautiful, like a bride who was about to walk down the aisle, so gorgeous enough to kill a man.I found myself moving closer without thinking.My hands shook slightly as I leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to the back of her
Kyler’s POVWhen Lena stormed out, nearly every elder immediately excused themselves and ran after her like moths chasing a flame.Except for Elder Yuri and Christine whispering inaudibly words I couldn't fathom, the whole place had turned empty.It was obvious no decision could be taken at this moment, so the meeting had been postponed.I just stood there frozen, Elijah's last words before he walked out on me ringing in my ears.“You missed presenting your mate in the past full moon; you aren't going to miss this one, and as it appears, your sexual promiscuity might cause you more harm than you ever imagined.”I heaved a heavy sigh, trying hard to keep calm.This was just too much.I wondered what had led me to have sex with her.How could she be pregnant at this critical time?And how the hell had she managed to get herself on my bed that very night?How exactly?It seemed as though this was the worst moment in my life, and undoubtedly it is.I had never experienced such chaos and c
Lena’s POVI took another deep breath, then reached out and pushed open the heavy council chamber door.The room fell into complete silence immediately after I walked in.Every elder turned their head toward me like I was a ghost walking in.Some had their mouths wide open in shock, while a few stood halfway, their eyes wide in disbelief. The air was so thick with tension that you could easily slice it with a butter knife.As soon as Kyler sighted me, he sprang up from his seat immediately and rushed towards me, his eyes wide open in disbelief.“Lena!”“You’re awake,” he whispered into my hair. “Are you okay? Does anything hurt? I was—”Without waiting to have a direct conversation with him, I shoved his hands away immediately.His brows furrowed instantly. “Lena—?”“No.” I took a step back, squaring my shoulders. “Don’t ‘Lena’ me. What did I just hear? What in the name of the Moon Goddess is going on here?”Kyler looked stunned.And then—ugh—she opened her mouth.Alison.The she-goat
Lena's Pov “Yo, yo!“Just kidding!” Karin whispered inside of me.A wave of instant relief surged through my veins instantly.I could hear her voice now, and I could also feel her strength.Thank Goddess!My wolf wasn't a mere illusion.“Finally!” Her voice rang in my head, filled with excitement and warmth.I gasped, a wild grin breaking across my face. “She’s real,” I said aloud, staring at Theo and Jax with wide eyes. “She’s genuine. I have a wolf!”“What?” Jax blinked, clearly confused. “Wait, are you saying—?”“My wolf is no longer weak...” I said breathlessly. Theo’s facial expression was “Have you gone nuts or something...?”But I knew what I was saying; I wasn't mad yet; excitement had only gotten the better part of me.I looked down and noticed the arrow lying next to me, which was glowing faintly. Tentatively, I reached for it. The moment my fingers wrapped around the shaft, a jolt of heat surged through my veins. It wasn't painful, but it seemed like something had awaken
Lena's Pov I stared at the glowing white wolf, my lips trembling as I reached toward it. My hand hovered inches from its muzzle, my heart beating loud and fast like a war drum in my chest.“Who… who are you?” I whispered again, my voice dry and cracking.The wolf stepped closer, its eyes locking with mine. “Stop being pathetic,” it said, a hint of amusement in its voice. “Don’t you recognize me?”I flinched, confused. “W-What?”“I’m your wolf,” it said gently, but with firmness. “You can call me Karin.”My eyes widened, my mouth parting in shock. I took a step back. “N-no… That’s impossible. I don’t have a wolf! The Moon Goddess never gave me one—”Karin chuckled, a deep, haunting sound that still managed to soothe me. “You are doubting Thomas.”I stared at her, and my lips twitched.“This isn’t funny. If you’re my wolf, then where the hell have you been all this time? Why did you never speak to me before?”“I wanted to,” she said softly, her glowing body sitting down like a majestic
Kyler’s POVI wiped the sweat from my brow, the cold breeze doing nothing to alleviate the exhaustion and fear clinging to me like a second skin. It had been almost eighteen hours since Lena collapsed, and she lay there lifeless and still.She hadn’t moved yet, not a whisper or even a sound from her.Just the shallow rise and fall of her chest, as if the threads keeping her tethered to this world were thinning with every passing second.Theo was crouched beside her, his hands working furiously as he applied yet another layer of healing herbs to her bare back. The scent of crushed wolfsbane and moonroot hung thick in the room, a sickening reminder of how close she was to death.The sight of my Lena, my fated mate, lying motionless on the floor made my heart crack.I knelt beside her, brushing a stray lock of hair from her pale face. My heart clenched painfully at the sight of her closed eyes, her lashes still damp with tears she hadn’t had the strength to wipe away.“She’s still burnin
Lena’s POVI was halfway through the door, my legs barely holding me up when I felt something pierce my back sharply.“Aah!” I screamed, stumbling forward. My vision blurred, and I crashed to the floor, hard.I gasped, trying to breathe, but every inhale felt like fire. My fingers touched my back, and as I withdrew it, it was soaked in blood.My blood.“If I can’t have you”, Damian’s voice rang out from behind, wild and twisted, “then no one will!”I rolled over, my body shaking. My back was burning, and a strange kind of weakness spread through me. My limbs felt heavy like they were no longer mine. I tried to move, but my legs refused.“P-poison”, I whispered to myself, panic rising in my chest. “The arrow… it’s poisoned.”Kyler turned around just in time, his face wild with rage. “LENA!”He punched Damian so hard that he flew back, hitting the wall with a loud crack. “You sick bastard!” Kyler roared.I tried to crawl forward, but my arms gave out. “I can’t… move,” I whispered as te
Lena’s POVI was halfway up the bars when a sharp pain shot through my back.“Ahh!” I cried out, falling hard to the ground.I twisted around fast—and there was Damian, his face twisted in pure rage.“So delusional to think you can escape?” he hissed.“Even if you run a meter, I would dive a thousand kilometers just to get you,” he mocked, grabbing my butt with his rough, long fingers.My heart skipped a beat just before he lunged at me.“No!” I screamed, trying to crawl away, but he was faster.He grabbed me by the waist and kicked me hard twice, one in the stomach, the other in my ribs. I gasped, curling up in pain.Then, like I weighed nothing, he dragged me back to the bed. I punched and clawed at him but he was stronger.“Let me go, you bastard!” I yelled, kicking him hard in the dick.He shoved me on the bed, his weight pinning me down. I kept fighting and doing anything I could do to get away but his grip on me was so tight.“You’re mine, Lena. I warned you!” He growled.I froz
