Elara deleted the photo threat before Kai came out of the shower. She wouldn’t give Serena the satisfaction of seeing her rattled. Not yet...

When Kai emerged, hair damp and wearing a fresh black shirt, the mate bond immediately tightened. He smelled like soap and raw power. His eyes flicked over her, lingering a second too long on her lips, before he shut it down.

“We have family dinner tonight,” he said. “Father’s orders the whole inner circle... No excuses.”

Elara’s stomach twisted. “Great..

  • THE STEPSISTERS SHADOW: A Rejected Mate Returns   The Second Hearing

    The second hearing felt like a public execution. The grand hall was packed tighter than the night before. Wolves crammed shoulder to shoulder, tension thick enough to choke on. Elara stood beside Kai at the center, the mate bond humming like a high-voltage wire between them. Garrick slammed his gavel. “We’re here to settle this once and for all.”Serena stood on the opposite side with Lila, looking composed but with fury burning in her eyes. The rogue remained chained and silent at the side. “The pack deserves to know the truth. Elara never wanted this bond; she was happy in her human world. She’ll leave the second she can and take our future alpha’s heart with her when she does.”Murmurs rippled through the crowd; several wolves nodded.Elara stepped forward, voice steady despite the bond screaming at her to stay behind Kai. “I didn’t ask for this bond, but I’m not running from it either. Unlike some people who paid others to destroy me.”The hall erupted. Kai’s hand found hers, gri

  • THE STEPSISTERS SHADOW: A Rejected Mate Returns   Shattered Illusion

    The walk back to the suite felt like crossing a minefield. Every shadow seemed to hide another enemy. Kai kept Elara tucked against his side, his arm like steel around her waist. The mate bond burned between them… a live wire of protectiveness and barely contained hunger after that kiss against the tree.“They’re not done,” Kai muttered. “Serena lost control tonight, and that makes her dangerous.”Elara’s phone felt heavy in her pocket. The photo of Kai and Serena still lingered in her mind like poison. “She’s always been dangerous, but you just never wanted to see it.”Kai stopped under a string of lanterns, turning her to face him. The bond surged at the eye contact, pulling them closer. His thumb brushed her jaw, sending sparks racing down her neck.“I’m seeing it now,” he said, voice rough. “Every time the bond shows me your pain, it cracks something inside me, but I can’t erase five years in one night.”The confession hit like a hook to the chest; Elara searched his eyes. “Then s

  • THE STEPSISTERS SHADOW: A Rejected Mate Returns   Venom And Vows

    The poisoning turned the feast into a battlefield. Wolves shouted… Tables overturned. The two affected pack members writhed on the ground as healers rushed in. Elara stayed glued to Kai’s side, the mate bond blazing like a shield between them. “They’re blaming me,” she hissed as another wolf pointed in her direction. Kai’s arm locked around her waist. “They’ll have to go through me first.” The bond surged at his words hot, protective, almost territorial. She felt his wolf rise, ready to tear apart anyone who came closer, but beneath it, doubt still flickered. The poisoning had given Serena new ammunition. Serena stood on a table, voice ringing out. “This is what happens when we let an outsider in! She brought human poisons… University tricks. How long until she turns the bond against all of us?” The crowd roared in agreement. A group of young males started pushing forward, and Kai shoved Elara behind him and met the first challenger with a brutal shoulder check. The wolf flew

  • THE STEPSISTERS SHADOW: A Rejected Mate Returns   Feast Of Wolves

    The unity feast was supposed to heal the pack. Instead, it felt like stepping into a den of knives. Elara walked into the moonlit clearing on Kai’s arm, the mate bond humming like a warning siren between them. String lights hung between trees. Long tables groaned with food, but the air crackled with tension. Wolves watched them with narrowed eyes… some curious, many still hostile. Kai’s hand rested possessively on her lower back. After the ritual and that public kiss, the bond had turned even more demanding. Every brush of his fingers sent heat racing through her veins. “Stay close,” he murmured, voice low. “They’re waiting for one mistake.” Serena and Lila sat at the head table despite their confinement, smiling as nothing had happened. Serena’s eyes locked on Elara with pure venom. The first hook came fast as a young male wolf stood up as they passed his table. “How do we know the ritual wasn’t faked too? She could be using the bond to control our future alpha!” Kai stopped

  • THE STEPSISTERS SHADOW: A Rejected Mate Returns   RitualOf Truths

    The morning of the truth-share ritual dawned blood-red. Elara stood in the center of the sacred clearing, heart pounding against her ribs. The entire pack ringed the stone circle, eyes hungry for answers. Kai stood at her side, his presence a storm of protectiveness and barely leashed tension. The mate bond crackled between them like lightning ready to strike. Garrick raised his arms. “The Moon Goddess will show us truth today.” Serena and Lila stood opposite them, faces painted with righteous anger. The rogue knelt in chains nearby, already sweating. An elder stepped forward with the ritual bowl, glowing moonstone liquid that would force memories into the air for everyone to see. Elara’s stomach twisted. This would rip open every scar in public. Kai’s hand brushed hers. “I’m right here,” he murmured. The elder forced the liquid down the rogue’s throat first. Images exploded into the air above the circle, grainy but clear. The rogue accepting money from Serena. Cornering Elar

  • THE STEPSISTERS SHADOW: A Rejected Mate Returns   Escape And Chains

    Dawn hit like a hammer.The pack council hall was packed when Kai led Elara inside, his hand firm on her lower back. The mate bond thrummed between them protective, possessive, and edged with raw tension. Every wolf watched them like predators circling fresh meat.Garrick sat at the head, face carved from stone. Serena and Lila flanked him like queens in waiting. The rogue… Lila’s mate stood chained at the side, eyes down.“Bring the girl forward,” Garrick ordered.Kai didn’t move. “She stays with me.”The bond surged at his words. Elara felt his wolf ready to tear apart anyone who tried to separate them but doubt still lingered in too many eyes.Serena stepped forward, voice dripping sweetness. “The pack has spoken… Until the rogue’s story is confirmed, she should be held separately for everyone’s safety.”Murmurs of agreement rippled through the hall. A few wolves growled low.Elara lifted her chin. “I’m not hiding… Ask your questions.”The rogue shifted uncomfortably. Serena shot h
