LOGINA single moment of weakness condemned her. An act of rage will either free her... or destroy her forever. Aurora has spent her entire life preparing to lead the Ironwood Pack. She is strong, trained, and ready. But her father, the current Alpha, refuses to step aside unless she accepts a mate of his choosing. Trapped between duty and a future she never wanted, Aurora’s world explodes when she discovers the truth about her college love, Damon. He’s not human. He’s a changeling—a monstrous creation of her own making, born from a moment of rejected fury years ago. Now Damon is back, a terrifying creature caught between man and wolf, and he holds the key to Aurora’s secret past. As an old enemy challenges her right to the throne and a mysterious plague of magic traps begins killing her people, Aurora is forced into a desperate alliance with her protector Jax and her arranged mate Theron. To save her pack, she must embrace the very power she fears, a power that could cost her her soul. But when Damon reveals a terrifying truth about their bond, Aurora is faced with an impossible choice. Will she sacrifice everything she loves to stop a rising evil, or will her heart’s desire doom them all? As the ancient magic awakens and an unknown enemy closes in, can Aurora control the beast within before it's too late?
View MoreZARA The house is full for Christmas, and somehow we still keep finding space for more people. It doesn’t make sense, but it works. Every room is taken, every corner has someone in it.Our parents move through the crowd, talking, smiling, trying to keep up as they mix in with our pack and the ones who might soon become part of it.My mom doesn’t recognize most of the faces. I can tell. But she doesn’t seem bothered by that at all. She just looks happy that I have people around me, that I’m not alone.Her smile stays with her the whole day, never fading, and after a while, it pulls a smile from Dad too.I can feel it coming. It won’t be long before the twins ask about our marks. They’ve been holding back, but not for much longer.They’ve settled in fast, faster than I expected. Even Ethan. He keeps to himself and doesn’t say much, mostly just watching, but he’s still here in his own way.I think that’s why Damian stays close to him. There’s no pressure between them, no need to f
FELIX Teleporting always feels strange. One second we are standing in the bedroom. The next, we are on the dirt road that leads into Granite Valley.I only know this place from that one car ride to Marcus’s house. Still, when we step forward, something pulls at me. An old memory.I start moving before I think about it.I run down a narrow path between houses. It looks like it will lead into the woods, but it doesn’t.Instead, I step out into a field.My chest tightens.It is exactly the same. Just like the dreams. Just like I remember.Zara and Damian come up behind me. They stop and look around.The place is hidden. It feels like it sits deep in the woods, but it doesn’t. It is cut off in a quiet way, like the world forgot about it.“What is this place?” Zara asks.“I used to come here when I was a kid,” I say. “A lot of moms brought their kids here.”The memories are not clear. Faces blur. Voices fade. But the feeling stays.“I don’t think Marcus knew about it.”If he had, he would
ZARA I drift off for a few minutes, not fully asleep, just resting. Then the thought comes back to me. There are still things I need to do today. I shouldn’t be lying here.That must be why Damian got up earlier. He always thinks ahead. He knows we still have to meet with the Conclave of Mystics, and that isn’t something we can delay.I got distracted earlier. We were supposed to keep moving, but instead we ended up focusing on Felix and his welcome home surprise. It pulled all of us in. It felt more important in the moment.I try to sit up, but Caleb’s arm tightens around me before I can move. At the same time, Felix takes my hand and holds it gently, like he doesn’t want to let go either. Between the two of them, I’m stuck.“Sleep,” Caleb whispers softly, his fingers brushing along my cheek in slow, calm strokes.“I have things to do,” I say, even though my voice comes out quieter than I meant.“Your only job today is to stay here and hug me,” Felix murmurs, his tone low and s
DAMIAN Naomi tucks her hair behind her ear before she begins. She pauses for a second, like she’s sorting through everything in her head and deciding what to say first.“The Conclave of Mystics needs you and Zara over at Granite Valley as soon as possible,” she says. Her voice stays steady, but there’s weight behind it. “They’re breaking the pack apart. A lot of people are being sent to counselling. After that, most of them will be moved into stronger, more stable packs. Some will be given the option to live like humans instead.”I nod slowly, taking that in piece by piece. It’s a lot, but it also feels expected after everything that happened there.“The youngest ones still in town want to join your pack,” she adds.“That makes sense,” I mutter, more to myself than to her. Then I frown, something not sitting right. “But don’t they want to stay with their parents?”Naomi gives a small, uneven smile, like she already thought about that question. “The youngest ones are nineteen. Their m
JAXA faint smile crossed my face when Aurora gave her usual strong answer. Even with mating heat close to breaking her control, she still tried to stand her ground. That stubborn strength was pure Aurora.Our lips met before either of us could say anything else.The first kiss struck like a match.
JAXAurora’s cry broke through the quiet forest like something tearing apart. The sound reached me from the trees and sent a sharp jolt through my chest. Legs moved fast as I ran toward the place where she had gone to meet Damon. Waiting earlier had been a mistake. Staying back had given him time
AURORAAfter Damon agreed to meet in the woods, the phone went straight into my pocket and I moved fast down the narrow path that wound between the trees. Dry leaves cracked under my shoes. Branches brushed my arms as I pushed past them.Hands were tight at my sides. Nails dug into my palms. Though
AURORAA small shiver moved down my spine when he touched me. It was not fear. Not fully. It was the shock of everything changing at once. My heart beat too fast, trying to catch up with words that had already been spoken. The air felt thin.Theron stepped closer and rested his hand on my shoulder.
