MasukDeliliah Carmichael was once destined for greatness...until love ruined her. As the most gifted acolyte of the Moon Goddess, her future was destined to be great. But one forbidden night with the Alpha’s adopted son shattered everything. Branded a traitor to the goddess, Deliliah was cast into punishment and stripped of the life she believed in, only to awaken powers that should have been lost forever. Three years later, she has risen from disgrace to become the Head Priestess of the Vyrclaw Pack, her heart sealed off, her vows resolute. She will never love again and she would do her best to perform her duties. Then the Alpha King returns. Viktor Volvov, the man who abandoned her to save himself now stands before her wearing a crown forged in blood and conquest. He is cold, ruthless, undefeated… and still dangerously in love with the woman he left behind. Before the Moon Goddess and every watching pack, Viktor makes an insane vow. He will mate no woman but Deliliah before his thirtieth birthday, or surrender his life to the goddess’s judgment. Deliliah refuses to be trapped by guilt, power, or prophecy. She will not love him. She will not save him. Even if his life is at stake. But the Moon Goddess has her own plans. As Viktor’s life force slowly begins to drain, and political forces close in, Deliliah is forced to confront a cruel truth...that refusing him may cost more than surrendering ever could. With time running out, desire burning against duty, and fate tightening its grip, Deliliah must make a choice. Is love truly her downfall…or the one thing powerful enough to defy the Moon Goddess herself?

We didn't stop until we reached the entrance where Vivian was kneeling on the floor. It was too dark in the night to see anything, but my senses immediately picked up another scent. Oh, dear moon goddess. Before I could even react, Viktor sped past me in a flash, arriving at her side. The air was thick with heavy tension as I stopped a few feet away from them. A second later, a loud enraged howl tore through the air. Vivian shifted slightly, allowing me to catch a glimpse of the person she was holding on the floor. It was Andrei. The sight rocked me to the core. If it wasn't for the heavy stench of blood that filled my senses again, I would have suspected that this was some kind of illusion again. But unfortunately, it wasn't. So, I rushed straight to them without a second thought. Andrei was pal
DELILAHWe appeared in front of the Hall of Punishment in less than ten minutes, but by the time we were already too late when we got inside. There was no one there. I was stunned as I stared at the empty space, wondering what the hell was going on. There were clearly captured children in my vision, yet the reality was quite different. Viktor raised his head to sniff the air. “Someone just left the building. Find him.”Andrei immediately nodded before running out of the temple to track down the scent. Vivian waved her hand over the place, wielding her moon magic to assess the dark energy around. When I saw it, I quickly closed the distance between us and stopped her. “Vivian, don't use your magic!”She gasped. “Why?” “There's too much dark energy here,” I explained, looking around the broken down walls of the temple. “You might risk getting corrupted if you're not careful.”Vivian's eyes suddenly widened from realization after she heard me. She quickly withdrew her powers after
DELILAHOnce it was evening, the four of us gathered in the Moon Temple. The other generals stayed outside guarding the building to make sure that no one interrupted the ceremony.Tonight, my heart was pounding so loudly that I was sure Viktor and the rest could hear this. But I forced myself to remain calm on the outside because everyone was depending on me. I was still the Head Priestess, and I was going to act like it. With that thought in mind, I finally stepped into the circle that had been created earlier.The power surrounding it immediately prickled against my skin, sharp and cold like lake water during winter. Only Vivian and I could enter. The magic woven into the ritual was too potent for anyone without magic. If Viktor or Andrei tried to step inside, the backlash alone could break their bodies.So they remained beyond the edge, watchful and tense.I felt Viktor’s gaze on me as I moved across the circle. I did not turn around, because if I met his eyes now, I feared the
DELILAH The next morning, I had just finished changing into my priestess robes after an exhausting checkup session with Olivia when I heard the door open. I didn't even need to turn around to know who it was. “What are you doing here?” I asked, smoothing my dress. “I came to see my best friend.”I could hear the nervousness in her voice as she approached me slowly. Vivian had always been like this. Whenever she got me upset, she would come with her most pitiful face to beg for forgiveness. In the past, I used to always bend first because of the long history between us. But now, I was too pissed to do it this time. This wasn't a squat between friends, or a disagreement that we normally had whenever we talked about her avoiding her duties. She lied to me. She deceived me all the years and kept secrets from me. The fact that I was still reeling from the fact that she was my mentor's daughter was enough reason for me not to even want to reconcile with her. But she was still my best
DELILAHThe conference room of the Moon Temple had always been a place of quiet authority. Circular in design, with a domed ceiling painted in phases of the moon, it was built to welcome all those who sought for the moon goddess's divine help. But today, it felt like a war room instead.Caspian st
DELILAHThe following days, I stayed in the healer's cabin, living my life leisurely and quite... pleasurably. I ignored Caspian's numerous requests to summon me for morning pack rituals and other reasons he probably didn't want to mention publicly. He was probably panicking more than usual because
VIKTORThe past few nights hadn't been very nice. I was losing creeping towards the edge of my sanity anytime I woke up from sleep, only to meet a cold, empty bed. My wolf mocked me from within, growling that the woman we both desired would have been lying by our side along time ago if we just did
DELILAHThe entire forest was silent.As soon as my wolf steadied herself, her paws stomped on the rocky ground underneath her. She lifted her head to the moon and released a howl that echoed throughout the entire forest. The snakes immediately recoiled at the sound, retreating to the shadows but s
