ログインAstoria Winters lost everything on one mundane weekday. The man she loved for the last five years betrayed her and cast out of the only place she had come to call ‘home’. She finds herself with nowhere to go…until a mysterious man comes to take her to her estranged mother, who is apparently getting remarried. And just like that, she is thrust into a world that she never knew existed outside novels. Viktor Romero is the Alpha heir of the Black Moon Pack. Polite but detached, controlled but cunning, he has spent his life reining the beast inside him. Over the years, he has come to believe that there wasn’t anyone fated waiting for him. And he was okay with that. That is until Astoria walked into his life. She was human and forbidden because she was his step-sister by marriage. A story of fated mates, forbidden desire, and a love powerful enough to challenge the moon itself.
もっと見る[Astoria’s POV]It was ironic and slightly comical how my mother, who was used to dictating and making people work for her, was having to explain things to someone.The realization made me happy rather than making me feel affronted. And what would I be affronted for? My mother never stood up for me, always blaming me, always nitpicking my every move.Over the years, I had stopped arguing with my mother. I used to simply absorb everything she said, feeling the bitterness later and lingering for days.“I’m always mindful,” I said softly, finding my courage this time. Maybe because Viktor simply stood up for me even though he seemed to dislike me, or maybe I was relishing my mother’s loss of power.I looked at him, and at the same time, Viktor’s gaze shifted to me. It wasn’t cold this time. It wasn’t warm eithe
[Astoria’s POV]Unable to endure the weight of his gaze, I excused myself and made my way upstairs, maintaining composure until I reached my room. Only after closing the door did I allow myself to exhale a shaky breath.What the F was that all about? Why was he looking at me like…like I was some kind of prey.It had been an accidental touch. Skin brushing skin. That was it.Yet the sensation felt electric, and even now the mere thought of the touch made me shiver.I let out another shuddering breath and moved toward the window instead, pushing the curtains aside. The chilly morning air caressed my flushed face.A soft knock came at my door.I stiffened instinctively before forcing myself to relax. “Who is it?”There was no answer. Not wanting to be rude, I opened the door.Viktor stepped inside before I could block his way.My heart skipped a beat before I could remind myself that this man was my step-brother.He closed the door behind him, not slamming it, but firmly.“We have to tal
[Astoria’s POV]A part of me berated my thoughts earlier.It wasn’t like I was a wallflower. I had received a fair share of attention before, even after getting into a relationship with Shawn. I understood what certain looks meant, and Viktor had felt like that.Attention. Intense attention and maybe even recognition.Which was weird because I had never met him. Vladimir was popular, sure, but he was…I had never seen his images in any magazines. I didn’t know if it existed anywhere in the business articles online, though.However, that recognition part was what unsettled me.Once Vladimir showed me to my room and left, I was suddenly feeling more lost than I felt before. First of all, the room was bigger and almost the size of the apartment I shared with Shawn. There was even an ensuite washroom, and everything inside just screamed luxury.I looked down at myself, still in work clothes, which looked dirty and dull in comparison to all this. Secondly, I was feeling a bit anxious becaus
[Astoria’s POV]I found myself in a sleek black car, the model was high-end, which spoke enough about The Romeros’ status.The car had been discreetly parked so as not to draw attention to strangers.The warmth of the car was almost overwhelming after the cold night air. A chauffeur had put in my suitcase as if I wasn’t used to lugging my things around.The leather smelled expensive, and the soft hum of the engine felt oddly comforting. I sat there, staring out the window as the city lights blurred past.A few hours ago, I was robbed of my happiness and the only person in my life whom I called mine, but now, I was simply going away with a strange man, a CEO nonetheless, to attend my mother’s shotgun wedding.I would have laughed, but the morbidity of the situation only wanted to make me cry.I wondered if my mother would simply ask me to leave after her wedding was over.“You’re thinking too loudly, Ms. Winters,” Vladimir’s voice cut through my thoughts.I glanced at him to see if he
