Mag-log in"You kept this from me, our child." Her heart pounded. Five years of secrets, of careful hiding, shattered in a single, terrifying moment. He knew. Asher Moretti knew. Aliyah Censori thought she was a biker bitch who knows a lot about the men that control the pedal and leather until she turns 20 and meets her mate. It was love at its fullest glamour and everyone was envious of them but unfortunately, he did the most outrageous thing that Aliya would ever imagine — he posted her nudes!! Aliyah was reluctant to accept the reality when the bond that binds them together is now severed. She cried her heart out. Asher Moretti who was coming back from his wife's tomb. He was sad and heartbroken. He went to the club and met Aliyah where they both drank themselves to stupor and they ended up on the bed. Aliyah hates him for no reason at first, she blames him for everything that happened between her and Cohen, thinking he knows about it since he is the president of his club. And now, she is pregnant with Asher Moretti’s baby. What happened when she realized that their intimacy that night had made her situation worse? But what happened when she realized that behind his facade was a man broken and was desperate for love? Behind his mask was the man who has never been defeated in any biking race but has been defeated by love and fate?

The wind whipped against my face as I ran through the heart of the Shadow Claw Pack, the moonless sky cloaking my pain, the gravel beneath my bare feet tearing into my skin. But I didn’t stop. I couldn’t. My lungs burned. My breathing hitched. My throat tasted of salt and blood—but the tears just wouldn’t stop.
I didn’t care that the guards at the southern boundary stared as I passed. Or that Elder Marcus shouted something behind me. Nothing mattered anymore.
Everything was unraveling.
Cohen.
The name echoed in my mind like a curse.
I had given him everything. Every smile. Every kiss. Every part of me that was soft, pure, and believing. I could still remember the first time he said “I love you”—we were sixteen, lying on the hill behind the Crescent Training Grounds, laughing at the stars and dreaming of running our own warrior school.
I gave him my heart. My trust. My soul.
And now…
“No,” I gasped, slowing to a walk, my chest heaving. I clutched my stomach as I staggered beneath the cold glow of the Pack’s eastern lights. “No… Cohen wouldn’t do that to me.”
I tried to breathe, but it felt like something was sitting on my chest. A weight I couldn’t lift.
He wouldn’t betray me like this. Not Cohen.
But the rumors… the whispers at training… the snickers from the other she-wolves today…
I turned off the main road, my body aching, my soul already numb. I needed answers. I needed to see it for myself.
Minutes later, I found myself standing in front of the small studio apartment we used to spend our weekends in. The same door he used to sneak me through, whispering promises of forever into my ear.
But the moment I stepped inside, everything inside me shattered.
The posters.
Gone.
Our warrior club’s banners, the scribbled notes we stuck on the fridge, the sketch I made of him in wolf form—they were all gone.
I stood frozen, eyes trailing the blank wall, the unfamiliar gray couch, the pungent smell of cheap perfume that was never mine.
My knees trembled.
And then I heard the laugh.
Her laugh.
Soft. Sultry. And very much not mine.
From the bedroom, a woman emerged—barely dressed in one of Cohen’s old football shirts. My shirt. The one I used to sleep in.
And there he was.
Cohen.
God, he still looked like the man I loved.
Tall, with sharp cheekbones and hair that curled at the ends just enough to be charming. His eyes—a shade of grey that once promised devotion—met mine with zero remorse. His chest was bare, abs defined and glistening faintly under the dim light. He looked like the man I spent years loving, and yet… in that moment, he was a stranger.
“Aliyah,” he said, nonchalantly, as if I’d just walked in on him brushing his teeth.
The girl beside him—Tatiana, I recognized her now—smirked. She didn’t even try to cover herself.
I swallowed the lump in my throat.
“Why?” I croaked. “Why would you do this to me?”
Cohen chuckled.
A chuckle.
Like this was a joke.
“You seriously didn’t figure it out?” he asked, stepping away from the girl and grabbing a drink from the counter. “Gods, you really are naive.”
I stood there, motionless. My fists clenched. My heart cracking with every second.
“I loved you,” I whispered. “I gave you everything, Cohen. I believed in you.”
He tilted his head, grinning. “That was the point, babe. I made a deal with my club. We all had this bet… who could get the innocent Papa’s daughter in bed first. And not just that—full exposure. Nudes, videos, the whole thing. You were the final dare.”
My world shattered.
“You… you were pranking me?” My voice broke. “You recorded me?”
“Oh, don’t be dramatic,” he said. “It’s not like I uploaded it anywhere. Yet.”
Tatiana laughed. “Honestly, you were always too good for your own good. Guess now you’ve learned what rejection tastes like.”
I stared at Cohen. At the man I once thought I’d mate. The man I once pictured standing beside me at the Luna ceremony.
“You said you loved me,” I whispered. “You said you’d never hurt me.”
He shrugged. “I say a lot of things when I’m bored.”
Something inside me snapped.
I turned away before the tears could spill again. I couldn’t let them see me fall apart. Not anymore. I stumbled out of the apartment, barely aware of how my body was moving.
The wind bit at my skin, but I didn’t care.
Everything felt… hollow.
The mate bond between us—I felt it. The last thread. Breaking.
I thought I would scream, but I didn’t. I couldn’t. The silence was louder.
All I could think of was how we used to be. The first kiss behind the training center. The way he’d wipe away my tears when I failed a trial. The letters he wrote me when he left for Alpha camp.
Lies.
All of it.
I didn’t know where I was going, but my feet carried me toward the town’s outskirts—toward the one place my father forbade me from ever visiting alone.
The Crimson Howl Bar.
They said it was dangerous. Filled with rogues, wanderers, and rebels. But I wasn’t scared. Not tonight.
Maybe I wanted danger. Maybe I wanted pain.
I walked in, and the scent of stale beer and cigarettes hit me instantly. Music roared from the back, and laughter echoed from the pool table.
And that’s when I saw him.
Asher Moretti.
Sitting at the corner table, a whiskey glass in hand, shadowed in darkness but glowing like a god among wolves.
Tall. Broad-shouldered. Arms flexed with veined muscle. His jaw was sharp, peppered with a faint stubble, and his raven-black hair was messy in a way that looked criminally good.
His eyes—piercing and unreadable—locked with mine.
I didn’t know what I wanted.
But I walked toward him.
Maybe it was the anger. The betrayal. The void.
Maybe I just didn’t want to feel like nothing anymore.
Tracy’s POV“Maybe a little. But mostly I’m just trying to keep you from spiraling into magical thinking that makes you feel worse.” He leaned forward. “Look, I don’t know if your friend is a werewolf or if you hallucinated the whole thing or if purple wolves are real and I’ve been living in ignorance my whole life. What I do know is that your parents died because some asshole got behind the wheel drunk, not because you made a wish on a mountain.”The bartender brought another round. I stared at the amber liquid, watching the light play through it.“She’s real,” I said quietly. “The wolf. Aliyah. It was real. There were these men who tried to kidnap us, and she saved me. She was fierce and powerful and terrifying, and she protected me.” I looked up at Cameron. “And then my parents died, and now I can’t shake the feeling that magic is dangerous. That getting what you want means losing something else.”“Life is dangerous,” Cameron said. “With or without magic. People die in car accident
Tracy’s POVDespite everything, I felt my lips twitch. “He made us sit in the kitchen while he lectured us about responsibility for two hours.”“And then your mom came down and made us hot chocolate.” Cameron smiled. “She said if we were going to be idiots, we should at least be well-fed idiots.”“That was her philosophy about most things.” The tears came again, but quieter this time. “Feed people. That fixes everything.”“She wasn’t wrong about the hot chocolate part.” Cameron nudged my shoulder gently. “Look, I know everyone in there is saying the same useless stuff. I’m sorry, they’re in a better place, time heals all wounds—all that bullshit. So I’m not going to do that.”“Thank you.”“What I am going to do is take you to Murphy’s Bar in about an hour. We’re going to get extremely drunk, and you’re going to tell me either everything or nothing, whatever you need. And tomorrow you’re going to wake up hungover and miserable, but at least you’ll have gotten through today.”I looked a
Tracy’s POVThe funeral home smelled like lilies and furniture polish, a combination that would probably haunt me for the rest of my life. I sat in the front row between my uncle Marcus and my cousin Jennifer, staring at two closed caskets covered in white roses. Someone had told me white roses symbolized reverence and purity. I didn’t care what they symbolized. They just looked cold.“Beautiful service,” someone murmured behind me. I’d heard that phrase approximately forty times in the last two hours. Beautiful service. As if there was anything beautiful about burying both your parents at once.The pastor was still talking, his voice a droning hum that I’d stopped processing ten minutes ago. Something about God’s plan and eternal peace. I wanted to stand up and scream that I didn’t want them to have eternal peace, I wanted them here, alive, annoying me with dad jokes and unsolicited advice about my car maintenance.Jennifer squeezed my hand. She’d been doing that throughout the entir
Aliyah’s POVThe phone call came at three in the morning.I was deep in sleep, my wolf finally quiet and content after the day’s events, when my phone buzzed violently on the nightstand. I groaned, reaching blindly for it, expecting maybe a wrong number or some spam call. Tracy’s name flashed on the screen. I answered immediately, my drowsiness evaporating. “Tracy? What’s wrong?”The sound that came through the phone made my blood run cold. It was somewhere between a sob and a gasp, raw and broken in a way I’d never heard from her before.“Aliyah.” Her voice cracked. “I need, I need you to come get me. Please.”I was already out of bed, pulling on clothes with one hand while keeping the phone pressed to my ear. “I’m coming. What happened?”“My parents.” Another sob. “There was an accident. A car accident. They’re…” She couldn’t finish the sentence.My heart shattered for her. “I’m on my way. Five minutes.”I threw on the first clothes I could find, grabbed my keys, and was out the d
