How could I make him understand? I'd never meant to fall in love with him. Never meant to stay so long in this world of dogs and men. But I had, and now everyone I loved would pay the price.

"I'm going to her," I said. "I'm the only one who can help her now."

"Then I'm coming with you," Charles declared.

I shook my head. "No. Luther's hunters are watching you. If you leave, they'll follow."

"Luther." Charles spat the name like poison. "I knew he couldn't be trusted. But why? Why would he betray us after all these years?"

"Because he knows what Amara can do. What she will become once the binding breaks completely."

Through the window, I could see movement in the trees surrounding our house. Luther's men were getting closer.

"Charles," I said, taking his hand. "There's something I never told you. About the night Celeste brought Amara to us."

His fingers tightened around mine. "What?"

"She wasn't running from the Shadow Council. She was running from something worse." I

  • The Accused Mate   The Awakening

    Amara's POV I woke up screaming, my body on fire. Golden light burst from my skin, shooting out like lightning. The wooden walls of the shack cracked around me as I thrashed on the floor, unable to control what was happening. "Hold her down!" someone yelled. Elias. His hands pressed against my shoulders, but he jerked back when the light burned him. "Don't touch me!" I screamed, not out of anger but fear. I didn't want to hurt him. The thought shocked me after everything he'd done. Another wave of pain crashed through me. My bones changed, but not into wolf form—into something else. Something new. The power that had been locked inside me for eighteen years broke free like a dam breaking. "Amara, fight it!" Elias begged. "The binding is breaking too fast!" Through tear-filled eyes, I saw Celeste furiously drawing symbols around me. "I can't slow it," she cried. "Her power is too strong!" I arched my back as another rush hit me. Suddenly, my mind filled with images—m

    Amara's POVCharles grabbed my arm. "Amara, wait. There's something you need to know. Something important." He held out a small bottle filled with silvery-blue liquid. "Your mother wanted you to have this. She said it would save you." I took the vial, feeling weird power humming within it. "Save me from what?" "From the prophecy," Celeste answered. "From your destiny." "What destiny?" "To either unite the supernatural world or destroy it completely," she said. "The choice will be yours alone." I looked at the vial, then back at the fight outside. At my hurt mother. At Elias, watching me with those eyes that now seemed so familiar. "And this will change that?" I asked, holding up the bottle. "It will bind your powers again," Charles explained. "Make you just a wolf. No memories of your true nature. No destiny." "No me," I realized. "Just the Amara you raised. The one who never knew the truth." He didn't deny it. The marks on my skin glowed brighter as my anger rose.

    Five years ago, Viktor had approached me after Elias became Alpha instead of me."You deserve to lead," Viktor had whispered. "Not my weak nephew. Help me, and I'll make sure you get what's rightfully yours."I'd been so angry, so jealous. Elias had everything—the title, the respect, the power. It should have been mine.So when Viktor told me about the prophecy, about a girl who could destroy or join the packs, I listened. When he told me about a plan to make sure she never reached her potential, I helped.I was there the night Kamla cast the spell to trick Elias. I held her hand as she wept, knowing the magic would ultimately kill her."Do you love him that much?" I had asked her."No," she'd admitted. "But I hate my sister more."I remembered how we found the witch, Celeste, who gave Kamla the illegal spell. How we convinced her that Elias was her true mate. How we planned every aspect of Amara's downfall.But we never planned for Amara's power to rise. We never planned for Elias to

    Ingrid Devereaux's POVI smashed the crystal glass against the wall, watching it break into a thousand pieces. My hands shook with rage."What do you mean Elias is gone?" I asked, glaring at the messenger who cowered by the door."He left with the girl, Luna Devereaux," the young wolf stammered. "After the light in the forest. Everyone saw it—like the sun itself had fallen to earth."My heart dropped to my stomach. Amara had changed. The prophecy was coming true despite everything I'd done to avoid it."Get out," I snapped. When the servant didn't move fast enough, I roared, "NOW!"The door slammed behind him. I closed my eyes, trying to slow my racing thoughts. My boy. My only child. He was with her—the monster I'd spent eighteen years trying to keep him away from.I grabbed my phone, calling the one person who might understand."It's happened," I said when she answered. "Amara has awakened."Celeste's voice was strained. "I know. I was there.""And you let it happen?" I hissed."I h

    Ingrid Devereaux's POVI smiled thinly. "Because I have something they need."I opened a small wooden box on the table. Inside lay a silver feather—identical to the one Amara had found where her mother apparently died."A trap," Alpha Reiner realized."Call it an invitation," I said. "When Seraphina feels this feather's magic activate, she'll come. And Amara will follow.""You're gambling with all our lives," Alpha Leona threatened."I'm saving them," I amended. "Starting with my son's."After the Council members left, I stood by the window, watching the sun set over the area my husband had built—the legacy meant for my son.The door opened behind me. "The preparations are complete," Kaya said. "The perimeter is secured.""Good. No one enters or leaves without my permission.""And if Elias returns willingly?" she asked softly.I turned to face her, steel in my voice. "Lock him in the holding cells. For his own protection.""Yes, Luna." She paused. "There's something else. A message, f

    Lyra Sinclair's POVI said simply. "No ordinary binding could have held power like hers. It had to be blood magic from all three races." Amara stood suddenly, pacing. "My mother knew. She gave me a choice—keep my power or lose it forever." "And you chose to keep it," I said. "Now you need to learn to control it." "How?" she asked. "Who can teach me to be something no one has ever been before?" Before I could answer, a sharp pain stabbed behind my eyes. I gasped, grabbing my head. "Lyra?" Elias moved to help me, but I waved him away. The whispers came, as they always did—my spirit guides, whispering urgently in my mind. Danger comes. Blood and shade. The mother of lies approaches. "What is it?" Amara asked, worry replacing anger in her eyes. "What's wrong?" I fought to focus through the pain. "We need to leave. Now." "Why?" Elias asked. "What did you see?" "Not see. Hear." I began gathering my scattered goods. "My guides are warning me. Someone's coming. Someone dangerous."

    Five years earlier"You can't be serious, Uncle." Elias stood before me, barely twenty years old, already showing the attitude that would one day destroy him."I've seen it with my own eyes," I insisted. "Charles Winters is hiding something. A child with powers that could change everything.""The Blood Moon Pack has always been secretive," Elias shrugged. "That doesn't mean they're harboring some magical child."I slammed my fist on the table. "This isn't about pack politics! The prophecy speaks of a three-heart child who will either unite or destroy us all. If Charles is hiding her—""Prophecies," Elias laughed. "You sound like the old witch who lives at the edge of our territory.""Celeste Moreau knows more than you give her credit for," I growled."Mother was right. You're becoming unstable." Elias turned away. "Perhaps it's time for new leadership."I froze. "You would challenge me? Your own blood?""If I must." His eyes flashed gold - the mark of an Alpha. My sister's son, but no

  • The Accused Mate   The Warrior's Return

    Orion Blackwood's POV I caught the guard's arm mid-swing and turned it behind his back. His knife clattered to the ground. "I don't want to hurt you, Travis," I whispered. "I just need to get inside." Recognition flashed in the young guard's eyes. "Orion? You can't be here! They'll kill you on sight!" "Let them try," I said, releasing him. "I've survived worse than Beta Luther's welcome committee." Eight years in hiding had changed me. Once, I'd been Blood Moon Pack's Head Warrior, Charles Winters' right hand. Now I was a ghost, returning to a place that had forgotten me. Travis glanced nervously toward the main house. "Everything's fallen apart, Orion. Alpha Charles is dead. Kamla was murdered. Amara disappeared. And Beta Luther..." "Is acting Alpha now," I finished for him. "I know. That's why I'm back." Travis hesitated, then gave me his pack jacket. "Take this. It'll help you blend in. The old tunnels beneath the packhouse haven't been sealed. Enter through the east

Blood pooled around him, coloring the wooden planks of what should have been my victory hall."What do you mean Charles is dead?" I ordered, wiping his blood from my claws. My hands were shaking. This wasn't part of the plan.The remaining agents cowered before me. No one wanted to speak."Tell me!" I roared, my voice booming through the Blood Moon Pack house."It's true, sir," one brave person finally said. "Alpha Charles fell at Silver Lake. And Luna Seraphina... she's gone too."I grabbed the edge of the table to steady myself. Charles and Seraphina, both dead? Then who killed them? Viktor was only meant to capture Amara, not murder her parents."And the girl?" I asked, fearing the answer."She lives," whispered the messenger. "But she's... changed. The marks, sir. Blue and purple light. Like nothing we've ever seen."My stomach dropped. The Harbinger powers had awake

    POV: Marcus HaleI ducked as a silver knife flew past my head, embedding itself in the tree behind me."Traitor!" Rael shouted, reaching for another weapon."I'm not the traitor here," I growled, my claws extending as I faced Elias's gamma. "You've been working with Luther all along."I'd barely made it back to Artemis land when Rael ambushed me. Now I was fighting for my life against someone I once called a friend.Rael lunged at me, but I was ready. I grabbed his arm and flipped him over my shoulder. He hit the ground hard but rolled back to his feet."Elias has chosen the wrong side," Rael spat. "The girl is dangerous. You know what the scripture says.""I know what you want me to believe," I said. "But I was there. I saw what happened at the lake."Fear flashed across Rael's face. "You saw the Mother?""I saw everything." I circled him slowly. "And now I'm bringing Elias's troops to help Amara. Are you with us or against us?"For a moment, I thought he might join me. Then his eyes

    POV: Elias BeaumontI slammed my fist into the wall, cracking the stone. Pain shot through my hand, but I welcomed it. Better than the guilt eating me alive.Amara stood at the window, purple and blue light still dancing across her skin. Her father dead. Her mother gone. And I had helped cause it all."We need to move," I said, breaking the painful quiet. "Luther will have friends at the Blood Moon Pack. We can't let him warn them."She didn't turn around. "Did you know?""Know what?""About the child." Her voice was hollow. "The one the Mother mentioned."I swallowed hard. How could I tell her what Thalia had shown me? A vision of Amara holding a baby with midnight black eyes, standing in a field of bodies."Thalia showed me something," I admitted. "But visions aren't fate, Amara. They're signs, possibilities."She finally turned, her eyes sparkling with that strange mixed power. "You should have told me.""I know," I whispered. "I've made nothing but mistakes when it comes to you."

    POV: Amara KingsI screamed as my father's body went limp in my arms. The world around me blurred with tears."Dad! Dad, please!" I shook him, but his eyes stared blankly at the night sky. "Come back!"Viktor's blade had done its work. My father—the man who had hidden me away for eighteen years, who I'd both hated and loved—was gone."Amara," Elias said softly, putting a hand on my shoulder. "He's gone."I shrugged him off, anger bubbling inside me. "Don't touch me."The Mother stood on the shore now, looking exactly like me except for those terrible black eyes. She held the black stone in her hand, smiling as if my father's death meant nothing."He was weak," she said. "Just a vessel, like your false mother.""Shut up!" I yelled, the blue markings on my skin flaring brighter. "He was my father!""One of your fathers," she corrected. "The human one."Luther approached slowly, his face a mix of fear and wonder.

    POV: Luna Seraphina WintersPain shot through my chest like a lightning bolt. I dropped the bowl I was holding, and it broke on the stone floor of my secret room. I knew instantly what it meant."Charles," I gasped, grabbing at my heart. "No!"Our mate bond, a link that had lasted for over twenty years, snapped like a thread cut by invisible scissors. The void that followed was so painful I couldn't breathe.He was gone. My mate was dead.I had no time to cry. If Charles was dead, it meant he had found Amara. It meant the Mother had returned. And it meant I had to act now.I stumbled to my feet, still fighting through the pain of the broken tie. With shaky hands, I pulled the loose stone from the wall and took out the small wooden box I'd hidden there eighteen years ago.Inside was a bottle of dark liquid – blood mixed with something else, something that shimmered even in the dim light. Beside it sat a black knife with strange symbols cut i

    POV: Alpha Charles WintersI crashed through the trees, my heart beating in my chest. The smell of blood and magic filled the air. She was close. After eighteen years of keeping her secret, of trying to protect her from this very moment, I was too late."Amara!" I yelled, following the blue glow that lit up the night sky like a beacon.My daughter was floating above Silver Lake, ringed by that strange blue fire. The sight made my throat tighten. She looked so much like her mother—not Seraphina, who raised her, but her real mother. The one who came from this very lake eighteen years ago.A werewolf flew through the air, smashing into a tree beside me. It was Dorian Graves, the Alpha who had been hunting my daughter. He snarled, blood dripping from his mouth, and flung himself back toward the lake.I shifted instantly, bones popping as my wolf form took over. I was older now, gray marking my once-black fur, but I was still an Alpha. Still her father.

    POV: Celeste MoreauMy scream echoed through the stone walls of my refuge as I fell to my knees. The vision hit me like a punch to the gut—blue fire everywhere, a girl floating in the air, and a woman with eyes as black as night rising from Silver Lake."Mistress!" My trainee Finn rushed to my side, his young face twisted with worry. "What is it? What did you see?"I couldn't speak. My whole body shook as the images burned themselves into my mind: Amara Kings, the girl I'd helped betray, surrounded by blue fire and facing a thing with her own face."It's happening," I whispered, holding the edge of my scrying bowl. The water inside still rippled with the aftershocks of my vision. "The Harbinger has awakened.""The Harbinger?" Finn's eyes widened. "But you said that was just a story to scare little witches."I shook my head, trying to stand. My legs felt like water. "I was wrong. I was wrong about everything."The candles around us flickered

    Amara Kings' POV Blue fire shot from my hands, shocking even me. I was floating above everyone, power surging through my blood like lightning. Part of me wanted to scream, but another part—a bigger part—felt alive for the first time. "Amara!" Elias yelled from below. "Fight it! Come back to us!" I could barely hear him through the noise in my ears. The blue marks had spread across my entire body now, burning like ice against my skin. I was becoming something else. Something scary. And I liked it. "She can't hear you," Dorian said, picking himself up from where I had thrown him. Blood dripped from his mouth. "The Harbinger is taking over." I turned my gaze to him—the stranger who had attacked my family, who had planned to sacrifice me to bring back his dead mate. Anger flashed through me, hot and fierce. "I hear everything," I said, my voice echoing weirdly. "I see everything now." With a flick of my wrist, I pinned Dorian again

    Alpha Dorian Graves' POV Blood dripped from my claws as I pulled them from the scout's chest. The man had begged for pity, but I had none left to give. Not after losing Leila. "He talked," said Kira, my Beta, wiping her knife clean. "They're hiding in caves near the eastern shore of Silver Lake." Finally. After weeks of looking, I had found Amara Kings. The girl who could bring my mate back from death. "How many with her?" I asked, stepping over the body. "At least six. Her parents, the Artemis Alpha, a healer, and someone our scout didn't recognize." I nodded to the twelve warriors waiting quietly behind us. They were all that left of my once-mighty pack, each personally trained by me. Each with their own reason to hate the Artemis Pack. "Remember," I told them, "we need the girl alive and unharmed. Kill the others if you must, but Amara Kings is mine." We moved through the forest like shadows, the smell of rain masking our appro
