로그인I am the sacrifice. Every wolf that had no hope of having a mate was always sacrificed during the crowning of the Alpha of the pack. And, I was sacrificed to Alpha Damon, the new Alpha to Moon Walker Pack and my step brother. I was never to be touched by any man again. I was to sacrifice my body to the moon goddess. And, no man was allowed to touch me. The punishment for which was death. However, when romance brews between Alpha Damon and I, were we going to face the consequence of death just to prove our love for each other?
더 보기Harper’s POV I scanned the trees again. Nothing but shadows. My nose twitched. At first it was faint, just a whisper under the damp earth and pine. Then it hit stronger. Tristan. That scent I would never forget—musky, wild, with an edge that used to make my heart race for all the wrong reasons. Now it was laced with something metallic. Blood. And underneath that, the sharp burn of silver. My pulse hammered in my ears. Something bad was coming. I could feel it in my bones, like the air before a storm. My feet moved before my brain caught up. I started drifting toward the omegas, closer to Lila and the younger wolves. If trouble hit, they were the ones who would go down first. I wasn’t about to stand back and watch.“Harper?” one of the omegas whispered. “You okay? You look pale.”I didn’t answer. My eyes kept flicking to the tree line. The scent grew thicker, wrapping around us like smoke. Blood and silver and him. My hands curled into fists. Part of me wanted to scream his name, dem
Harper’s POV The forest closed in around us like it was alive and breathing. My heart wouldn’t slow down. Every few steps I kept turning my head, eyes darting to the tree line again and again. Shadows looked wrong. Branches moved when there was no wind. I felt eyes on my back, on my neck, crawling over my skin. Tristan. It had to be him. But saying his name out loud felt like it would make him real, solid, right here in the middle of the pack hunt. I couldn’t do that. Not yet.“Harper.”Damon’s voice cut through the quiet. He had slowed his pace until he walked right beside me. His big frame blocked some of the weak morning light filtering through the trees. I could smell his scent—dark pine and something sharper, like storm clouds. It usually made my stomach flip in ways I hated admitting. Today it just mixed with the fear already churning inside me.I kept my eyes straight ahead. “What?”“You’ve been quiet since we crossed the ridge. Too quiet. Even for you.” His tone stayed low so
Harper’s POV It couldn’t be. He was dead. I killed him. Damon had shown me the memory himself. But there it was again, faint but unmistakable. Panic clawed up my throat. My hands shook at my sides. “Harper?” Damon’s voice cut through the quiet. He had fallen back from the front without me noticing, his steps silent like a predator. He stood close now, eyes locked on my face. “What’s wrong?”I forced my breathing steady and looked up at him. His face was all hard lines, that ruthless focus still there, but worry flickered in his dark eyes for just a split second. I couldn’t tell him. Not here, not with the whole pack around us. If I said Tristan’s name out loud, everything would blow up—my secrets, his plans, the fragile thing we had going between us.“Nothing,” I lied, keeping my voice low and even. “Just thought I saw movement. It’s nothing.”He studied me for a long beat, like he could peel back my skin and see every lie I’d ever told. His hand brushed my arm, quick and hidden fro
Harper’s POV The forest air bit cold against my skin as I stepped out of the pack mansion just before dawn. My boots crunched on the frost-covered ground, and my breath came out in little white puffs. I pulled my jacket tighter around me, but it did nothing to chase away the chill inside my chest. Last night’s argument with Damon still sat heavy in my gut. He thought he could order me around like some weak pup, telling me to stay put during the hunt. Yeah, right. I was done being told where to stand and what to do.Glynn jogged up beside me, her red hair tied back tight. She bumped my shoulder with hers. “You sure about this, Harper? Damon looked ready to chain you to your bed if you stepped out of line.”I gave her a quick grin, the kind that said I wasn’t backing down. “He can try. I’m not hiding in the rear like some scared omega. If there’s something out there messing with our borders, I want to see it for myself.”She laughed under her breath, but her eyes stayed sharp. “Just do
Harper's POV I slammed the door to Damon's quarters behind me, my heart pounding in my chest. The taste of his kiss still lingered on my lips, hot and demanding, making my skin flush with a mix of fury and something dangerously close to desire. How the hell did he keep pulling me in like that? One
Harper's POV I shoved him back, wiping my mouth like I could erase the taste. "Dream on. Now get out. If anyone finds out about... this, we're both dead."He straightened, that cold mask slipping back into place. "Our secret, remember? Cross me, and it all comes out.""Threats again?" I rolled my

Harper's POV I really killed Tristan but why don't I feel any sting of regret? Why do I feel empowered all of a sudden? But I shook my head vigorously in denial, fighting the fragments of that night surfacing back. No, I'm not a killer---- Tristan's growl, his weight pinning me to the ground
