LOGINTo secure a fragile peace between two warring packs, a sacrifice must be made. Alpha Torin of the Midnight Pack expects the worst when he agrees to marry the daughter of his bitterest enemy. He’s heard the rumors: she is a spoiled, arrogant princess sent to spy on his people. Determined to break her spirit, Torin strips her of her titles, throws her into a freezing attic room, and forces her to work alongside the pack's lowliest servants. He waits for her to snap. He waits for her to fight back. But the girl who arrived at his packhouse isn't a princess at all. It's Evangeline—the forgotten, abused, and supposedly "wolfless" daughter her father hid from the world. Used to a lifetime of cruelty and starvation, Eva doesn't throw a fit; she quietly scrubs the floors until her hands bleed, terrified that any mistake will mean her execution. As Torin's fierce hatred turns to confusion, his inner wolf begins to roar in protest. The electric spark between them is undeniable, but Torin refuses to trust a suspected spy—even as his beast insists she is their fated mate. But a dark web of lies is unraveling. As the horrific truth of Eva's past comes to light, a dangerous secret begins to bloom in her veins. She was never wolfless; she was poisoned. And as the poison fades, the true royal Alpha heir is about to awaken. Torin wanted to break an enemy princess. Instead, he will have to spend his life kneeling before the queen he tried to ruin.
View MoreThe silence that settled over the drafty attic room was heavier than the stones of the citadel itself. Alpha Torin stood completely rigid, his massive frame frozen as he stared down at the girl collapsed in the dust at his feet. The words—the raw, bleeding truth of them—seemed to hang in the freezing air, shimmering like frost. Just cut my throat and let it be over. No spy begged for a quick execution with tears that smelled so poignantly of absolute, exhausted surrender. No mastermind of psychological warfare offered up their neck to a rival Alpha just to escape the dark. The frantic, manic energy that had driven Torin up the stairs had vanished, leaving behind a hollow, sickening void in his gut. His strategic mind, always calculating three moves ahead, was violently rewriting everything. The lack of a proper wolf aura, the sheer fragility of her bones, the way she had shielded her face as if expecting a devastating physical blow—it all aligned with a terrifying, devastating cla
The slam of the heavy oak door hadn’t been the end. Barely ten minutes after he had stormed out, the latch rattled violently again. Torin threw the door open for a second time, his predatory patience completely evaporated. The image of her face—glassy-eyed, shivering, yet refusing to give him a straight answer—had festered in his mind on the stairwell until it drove him back up. The mate bond was twisting like a knife in his gut, and his paranoid mind demanded a resolution. He could not, would not, let a spy sit at the peak of his citadel while his borders hung in the balance. Eva hadn’t even managed to crawl back onto the wooden cot. She was still crumpled on the floorboards, her cheek pressed against the cold wood, her breathing a shallow, ragged whistle as the fever ravaged her system. "Get up," Torin growled, his voice dropping into a terrifyingly quiet register as he closed the distance between them in three massive strides. He grabbed the collar of her oversized dress—careful
The climb up the southern tower was a silent, lethal march. Torin didn't hide his approach. The heavy, rhythmic thud of his leather boots bounced harshly off the cold stone spiral staircase, sounding less like a man returning to his wife and more like an executioner ascending the scaffold. In his right hand, he tightly clutched the crushed, wrinkled parchment from the Ironwood Pack. The words sing your songs sweetly burned in his mind like a brand, stoking the fires of a cynical, protective fury that completely overrode the restless, grieving whines of his inner wolf. She is a weapon, Torin repeated to himself, his jaw locked. A beautiful, fractured illusion sent to break my pack. When he reached the top landing, he didn't bother to knock. He slammed his hand against the heavy oak door. Finding it unbolted—Eva had been too weak to even slide the iron latch back after Martha brought her up—he shoved it open with a violent force that sent the door crashing against the stone interior
The midday sun had barely dipped behind the jagged peaks when a messenger from the neutral borders arrived at the front gates of the Midnight Packhouse. He bore a single, crisp parchment sealed with the crest of the Ironwood Pack—a howling wolf entangled in thorns. It was addressed directly to Lady Victoria, the only daughter Silas had ever acknowledged to the world, and the name Torin believed belonged to the fragile girl currently shivering in the southern tower. The letter never reached her. By order of the Alpha, any correspondence crossing the southern border was routed directly to the pack’s strategy room. Torin sat at the long mahogany table, his golden eyes burning with a dark, dangerous intensity as he stared down at the unopened letter resting on the wood before him. His right hand was still tightly balled into a fist, the memory of that electric, soul-shattering spark from the service corridor lingering beneath his skin like a stubborn curse. His inner wolf, Fenrir, was
The cellar floor was always coldest just before dawn. For Evangeline, the chill wasn't just a seasonal shift; it was a permanent resident in the damp, stone-walled underbelly of the Ironwood Packhouse. She pressed her forehead against the rough wooden handle of her scrub brush, her breath blooming
The wind outside the pavilion howled like a dying beast, whipping flakes of aggressive, icy snow against the heavy black canvas. Inside, the atmosphere was dead silent, save for the heavy, retreating footsteps of Alpha Torin and his formidable guard. They didn’t wait for her. They didn't offer a cl
The neutral summit grounds sat in a desolate, forgotten valley where the borders of the two packs collided. A massive pavilion of black iron and heavy canvas had been erected over the frozen earth, snapping violently in the biting northern wind. Inside, a long stone table split the room in two, act
The heavy wooden door of the preparation chamber clicked shut, cutting off the raucous laughter and clinking goblets of the Grand Council Hall. The sudden silence in the smaller room felt violent, thick with an anticipation that made the hairs on Eva’s arms stand on end. Eva stood rigidly in the c
