Lena’s POV

I 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.

    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

    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

    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

    Lena's Pov “Trust me..”"I never meant to—" he started.I stared at him with disgust.What exactly does he take me for?Dropping my black bag on the floor and my mysterious arrow, I turned my face to him, desperate to let him see how much he had hurt me."Save it, Kyler," I said, my voice trembling with the sting of every memory. "You meant every second of it."His jaw tightened. "You don't understand.""I understand enough," I snapped. “I understand that I was locked away in the dungeon you put me in; you were out here... busy rubbing your fluids on your lover ." My voice was thick with disgust. "Is that not what you were doing?""Lena, it isn't what you think," he said, his voice low.I shoved the arrow into the bag roughly, trying to ignore how much it hurt to even look at him.Talking to him made me sick.He doesn't expect me to believe him."Don’t insult my intelligence," I retorted. I wanted to tell him everything I was feeling, but instead, tears welled up. You should’ve th

  • Sold To My Second-Chance Mate   Chapter One

    Lena’s POVTonight 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 a

    Lena's Pov How they gripped me made it obvious that I wouldn’t be escaping anytime soon.“What the hell is going on, Damian?” I shouted, struggling against the iron grip of the two gammas holding me from behind. My heart pounded, and panic clawed at my chest.Damian stood a few feet away, his gaze as cold and unreadable as ever. The man I had once believed was my fated mate, now looked at me with nothing but indifference.He exhaled slowly, rubbing his temples as if I were nothing more than a nuisance. “Don’t make this harder than it has to be, Lena.”“Harder?” My breath hitched. What the hell was he talking about?I jerked against the gammas’ hold, but their fingers dug into my arms. “Let me go! What’s happening?”Damian’s jaw clenched, but he didn’t move to stop them. Instead, he tilted his head toward the looming figure beside him. A man I hadn’t even noticed in my panic.The man exuded an aura so commanding that the air in the room seemed to tremble around him. His presence se

    Kyler's Pov“Going somewhere, little wolf?” My voice cut through the silence, making her freeze.For a moment, she didn’t move. Then, slowly, she turned to face me, her breath unsteady, her dark eyes locking onto mine.She didn’t look afraid. If anything, she looked defiant.“Does it matter to you?" she asked, her voice steady.I didn’t answer right away. Instead, I just smiled, because, for the first time, I couldn't deny the fact that Lena was ethereal.The way her dark hair spilled over her shoulders, wild and unkempt, and her lips were slightly parted as if she was daring me to stop her made my wolf restless.I shook my head, regaining defiance.I was an Alpha, and I shouldn't be moved by beauty.If it was about beauty, then she wouldn't stand a chance with Alison or other she-wolves in the pack.She was here on a duty and that was to bear me pups owing to the prophecy.And as for the mate bond, that was just a cruel joke.She definitely can't be my mate, a divorced Luna?Hell,

    Lena's PovIt had been two weeks of my stay in the Silver Fang pack and it seemed more cruel than I had ever imagined.I wanted to scream. No, I wanted to rip my ears off and toss them out the damn window. I hate this place.The Silver Fang packhouse was cold, unwelcoming, and filled with wolves who either sneered at me or pretended I didn’t exist. But worst of all was the nightly torture coming from Alpha Kyler’s room.I buried my head under the pillow, my entire body stiff with irritation. The walls of the Silver Fang packhouse were thick, but not thick enough to drown out the muffled sounds of pleasure seeping through Kyler’s door.I clenched my nails tight with frustration, my nails digging into the sheets as another breathy moan rang out, followed by a low, rumbling growl.It sounded disgusting.I sat up, glaring at the wall as if I could burn a hole through it with sheer hatred. Did Kyler have no shame? I was stuck here, forced into this situation against my will, and he was

    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
