LOGINCassy has a secret, one she’s willing to leave her home and pack to keep. But when her boyfriend, Zac, becomes the Ash Mount Beta and refuses to leave with her, her plans take a turn. Torn between fighting for the man she loves and keeping her identity hidden to protect her and her mum, Cassy only has one option. Compete in the Luna Trials - a contest where the mates of the Alpha, Beta and High Guard warriors are chosen. The challenges she faces are far beyond the strategy and strength she needs to win the Trials, and leave her conflicted at every turn. Should Cassy spill her secrets to save a friend? Should she keep fighting for a man who cares more for his title? And what is this strange new pull she has towards the Alpha? But Cassy will face her biggest challenge of all when her past comes back to haunt her.

She heard them before she saw them. Or at least, she heard him. The King’s voice grated on her, making the hairs on her nape stand on end. Logan felt her stiffen and wrapped an arm around her waist pulling her in tighter. He checked she was okay and she nodded. Despite the man’s voice making her body tense, his words made her smile. “Get off me you filthy bitch.” William snarled, thrashing his body to try and break out of Alex’s grip but she held strong. Bloody wounds tore into the King, and even Cassy could see there was little energy to his movement. Though his voice was a strong as ever. “Trust me, Whore, I will remember your face and have it ripped
Just as Logan made his pledge, Darius pushed into the protected circle of his wolves. His fur was bloody and matted, large gashes along his legs and rump adding to his wild look. He raced to his Alpha’s side, pushing Zac aside as he shifted and fell to his knees. Cassy didn’t dare to look up at the man as shame swallowed her. She couldn’t bear to look away from the fading life of her mate, but she also knew it was her fault. He wouldn’t be there, dying, if not for her, and she couldn’t look to his Beta and feel that burden. Not yet. She needed to survive the next moment first. “Luna. Tell me what to do.” Darius spoke but she just shook her head. Why was he asking her when it was clear they couldn’t do a thing? The Beta placed large hands over his Alpha’s chest, spread over his flesh as if he was trying to cover as much area as possible. It was strange when she had expected respectful words for his fallen leader. “Cassy, look at me.” She swallowed, understanding then that the Beta wan
Cassy felt him closing in on her, the tips of his fangs scrapping her skin, when a tingle worked over her flesh. She knew what it was and kept her ability localised to herself. Time slowed to an almost stop, silencing the battle around her. Like always, she couldn’t move, so it wasn’t like she could slip free of the King’s hold and rush to help Logan, however she needed a minute. Panic was racing through her, sending her thoughts tumbling in all directions, but clarity was precious. As false seconds ticked by, she calmed, her mind cleared and she focused. William had threatened to kill Logan, provoking a fear in her that he’d die trying to save her. Yet, he was in no more danger now than when he had first rushed into save her. The threat was as meaningless as the King himself. Cassy clung to that thought as she strained her eyes to search around her. They were still outnumbered by Silver Spear wolves and in a second of normal time, the King would mark her and leave Shadow Forest in
The sound of Alex’s voice was Goddess sent. After no word from her for days, Cassy had wondered if the King had caught her as she fled Ash Mount. In her darker moment, she had also wondered if her friend had abandoned her in fear of the King. Cassy wouldn’t have blamed her, not after meeting the cruel man, but now shame prickled in her. How could she have doubted her best friend? It was hard to believe she had done as relief flooded her system. ‘You mean she isn’t happy to see us?’ Katie chipped in. ‘After we’ve gone through all this effort to save her?’ Cassy immediately jerked her face directly to the window to hide her mindlink clouded eyes from the King, but they were far enough from Ash Mount that he had stopped casting glances in her direction. She stalled in responding to them, just enough to be able to collect herself enough to not react to their voices. Instead, she just basked in their presence, a connection she had sorely missed over the past few days. ‘I love you guys.
The rest of the day, Cassy felt like a ghost. William offered her an escort to her house to collect her belongings to take to Silver Spear, but the thought of letting that man or his wolves anywhere near her home made her shudder. Instead, she told him she wanted to start afresh. New clothes, new b
Cassy grimaced when she looked in the mirror. Not because of the dark circles under her puffy eyes or the flat side of her hair, that she’d had to peel of the door that morning, but because of the skin-tight red dress she wore. It had been left on her bed while she took a shower to distract herself
Cassy stiffened at the voice behind her. Not because of who it belonged to but because she hadn’t sensed another wolf coming. Even a full trained warrior like Jace would be heard when he got close enough. Even with the lightest footsteps in the Kingdom, he couldn't mask his scent nor his breathing,
My Queen. My Queen. My Queen. The two words taunted her over and over as she stumbled back to Alex’s room - her temporary prison in the packhouse. The King had spoken after that, going over his plan to introduce her to the Kingdom as a lost wolf of the royal line to explain her royal blood withou
