MasukRaven Blackthorn, the ruthless Alpha Queen of the Ironwood Pack, has built her life on strength, fear, and an iron will to protect her pack from rogues and the watchful Council. She swore she’d never accept a mate, believing the bond would make her weak. Then she meets Ragnar Hale, a human who accidentally crosses into her territory—and into her fate. The mate bond snaps into place, but Ragnar’s presence threatens everything Raven has built, and his arrival awakens a storm of ancient magic buried in his blood. As rogue attacks increase and the Council demands Ragnar’s surrender, Raven must decide whether to reject the bond or embrace it, risking her leadership to claim the one person who might make her stronger. But as Ragnar’s powers grow, so does the danger, and together they will have to fight to protect the pack, face betrayal, and challenge a world that wants to tear them apart. Will the Alpha Queen allow herself to love or will claiming her mate mean sacrificing everything she swore to protect.

Not snapped—shattered. The storm that had always lived in his blood surged past restraint, past fear, past what his human body was ever meant to hold.Lightning exploded from him.Not outward.Through him.His veins burned white-hot. His bones screamed. His heart thundered like a breaking sky as Ragnar sprinted straight at Selene, storm trailing his steps like a living beast. The ground fractured beneath his feet, unable to hold the force pouring out of him.“Ragnar—!” Luca shouted, but his voice vanished beneath the roar of thunder.Selene turned, amused, Raven still suspended in her grip, blood dripping down her wrist. Raven’s vision blurred, air failing her lungs, Shadow clawing desperately inside her chest. Nightfire sputtered, desperate but restrained by the lack of oxygen.Fight, Shadow urged. We are n
Chapter 51 When Storm’s BreakThe sky was on fire.Ragnar fought with his head tilted back, eyes tracking the silver inferno raging above the battlefield. Raven and Selene tore through the air like opposing gods, flame and shadow crashing in blinding collisions that rattled his bones.Every impact made his chest tighten.Every time Raven vanished into smoke, his heart stuttered.A serpent lunged from the dark. Ragnar barely twisted in time, his blade slicing through its skull as lightning burst from his grip. The creature dissolved into black ash, but three more replaced it instantly.“Eyes up, Ragnar!” Luca shouted.Ragnar ducked as a shadow-blade swept past his head, close enough to slice his hair. He pivoted, storm coiling through his arms, and slammed lightning into the ground. The earth exploded outward, shredding serpents and darkness alike.But Selene’s power kept regenerating.It wasn’t natural.It was endless.Ragnar panted, sweat and blood slicking his skin.

Chapter 50 Inferno and Shadow The night burned. Silver fire blazed from Raven’s body, scorching a circle around her as Selene’s shadow-wings unfurled to their full span, swallowing the battlefield in suffocating darkness. The ground split beneath their feet, fire and shadow tearing through the earth in violent pulses, as if the land itself could not withstand the clash of their powers. Selene descended, serpents striking like a storm of spears. Raven met them with her fire, each strike igniting the air in bursts of molten silver. The heat scorched her lungs, her skin cracked and bleeding, but she refused to fall. “You are not enough,” Selene hissed, her voice layered with ancient venom. Her shadow lashed forward, striking Raven across the chest and sending her skidding through the dirt. Blood sprayed from the wound, sizzling against her flames. Raven staggered to her knees, flames flickering weakly. Shadow snarled inside her mind, her wolf pushing against the pain, refusing to
.Chapter 49 – The Unveiling The battlefield stilled for the briefest moment, as though the earth itself held its breath. Raven’s chest heaved, silver fire still smoldering across her skin. Around her, the wolves tightened their battered circle, bloodied but unbroken. Ragnar stood tall despite the crimson streaks across his armor, while Luca crouched low in his wolf form, growl rumbling from deep within his chest. They had survived Selene’s onslaught. But only barely. And then the air shifted. The shadows that had been writhing at Selene’s feet began to crawl up her body, clinging to her like living armor. Her charred flesh knit itself back together with a sickening hiss, her wounds closing as black scales spread over her skin. The serpents atop her head shrieked in chorus, their forms lengthening, splitting, until they writhed like a crown of hydra. “What is she doing?” one wolf whispered, his voice trembling. Selene’s smile widened, too sharp, too inhuman. Her eyes glowed b
