LOGINShe was born to save bloodlines. Raised as Silver Star's first female Alpha Heir in three generations, Sabrina always knew what awaited her coming of age. Not a crown. Not a simple mate. A Harem — the males of her pack who had no mate waiting for them, chosen by duty, by tradition, and by the Goddess herself. Her word is law inside those walls. But the house built for her mates has sat empty for nearly two centuries, the traditions that govern it have been twisted beyond recognition, and not every male stepping forward is there for the right reasons. The Heart's Choice Scroll chose Riley before she could say his name out loud. Victor she chose herself. Then the letters started arriving. Three allied Alphas. Twenty-two additional males. Political agendas dressed up as goodwill, genuine desperation dressed up as diplomacy, and one rejection that left the Goddess's mark burned permanently into skin as a warning to anyone watching. Forty-seven males. One Luna. And a Harem house that hasn't seen life in nearly two centuries. She expected politics. She expected power games. She expected to manage it. She didn't expect chosen bonds to grow faster than fated ones. Duty was never supposed to feel like this.

Most only know the simplified versions the Elders share.”Riley felt a surge of pride for his mate. She had handled the confrontation with grace, using knowledge rather than emotion to make her point.“The Goddess chose Sabrina for this role,” Riley added, keeping his voice measured despite his wolf’s desire to assert dominance. “Not the Elders, not tradition, the Goddess.”Rodney sank back into his chair, running a hand through his hair. “This changes things.”“It doesn’t change how you feel,” Fitz said quietly. “But it might change how you think about the situation.”Rodney nodded slowly. “I need time to process this.”“We don’t have much time,” Riley said. “The hearing is tomorrow morning.”“Then I’ll be there,” Rodney replied, his expression still troubled but less hostile. “I can’t promise I’ll speak in your favour, but I won’t stand with Elder Marcus.”It wasn’t the full support Ril
As they left the Alpha’s office, Riley felt the weight of responsibility settling on his shoulders. The political battle for the Harem’s future was just beginning, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.“Are you okay?” Sabrina asked, her hand finding his as they walked through the empty hallway.Riley squeezed her hand, drawing strength from her touch. “I’m worried about tomorrow. Elder Marcus is powerful.”“Not as powerful as the Goddess,” Sabrina replied, her voice filled with conviction. “This is her will, not his.”Riley nodded, though doubt still lingered in his mind. The pack was divided, and Elder Marcus had centuries of tradition on his side.“One problem for him the Harem house hasn’t been used in three generations, that is, nearly two centuries, so how does that work? No male of my family line has to have a Harem, just female ones that were born the Heir.”Riley blinked at Sabrina’s words. She was right, the Harem hadn’t been active in generations, which made Elder Marcus’s ferv
Elder Marcus’s face turned an alarming shade of purple at Sabrina’s words. Riley felt a surge of pride for his mate’s boldness, even as tension rippled through the gathered crowd.“You twist my words, Luna,” the Elder sputtered. “I seek only to uphold tradition!”“Tradition that has led to the deaths of seventeen men in the past twenty years,” Sabrina replied, her voice steady despite the growing tension. “Is that truly what the Goddess wants?”Riley stepped forward, placing himself slightly in front of Sabrina. “The survey is meant to gather opinions, not make final decisions. Everyone will have a voice in these reforms.”“But the sperm bank—“ Elder Marcus began.“Is designed to protect bloodlines,” Riley cut him off. “Even if tragedy strikes.”The crowd murmured, some nodding in agreement while others shook their heads in disapproval. Riley spotted Victor and Kane standing at the edge of the gathering, their expressions carefully neutral.“This is not the way to handle such matters,
Victor’s face lit up with genuine enthusiasm. “I think it’s a wonderful idea. A father should know his pups, regardless of the circumstances of their birth.”Kane nodded, though his expression remained more guarded. “It would make the Harem stronger. The men would have more to fight for if they knew their children personally.”Riley felt a wave of relief wash over him. These two understood what they were trying to achieve with the reforms. They weren’t just thinking about their own desires but about the future of the pack.“What about the sperm bank proposal?” Riley asked, watching their reactions carefully.Victor’s brow furrowed thoughtfully. “It makes sense from a practical standpoint. Bloodlines could continue even if...” He trailed off, not wanting to voice the dark possibility.“Even if something happens to one of us,” Kane finished bluntly. “It’s smart. The old ways were wasteful.”Sabrina smiled, clearly pleased with their responses. “Good. We need men who understand that thes
