Se connecterFor three years, Elira Voss was Silver Hollow's "barren omega." She balanced the pack's ledgers. She managed its trade. She swallowed the elders' contempt in silence while she waited for her fated mate to come home from war. When Alpha Kael Draven finally returns, Elira is carrying the one secret that should have changed everything: she's pregnant. She never gets the chance to say it. Blinded by grief and guilt, Kael strips Elira of her standing in front of the entire pack — elevating his dead brother's pregnant widow, Vera, to Luna in her place. When Elira tries to fight for what's hers, Vera answers with a betrayal no one sees coming: a shove down a stone stairwell, a staged labor to steal every hand that could have saved her. Elira loses her child alone, bleeding in the dark, while the pack celebrates Vera's "miracle" one floor above her. She wakes up a different woman. Elira confronts Kael with the proof he can't deny, then severs their mate bond in a blood ritual at the border — leaving her Alpha broken in the mud behind her. But Elira isn't walking away as a discarded omega. She's walking into Ashveil as its long-lost princess. Flanked by her fiercely protective brother, the Alpha King, and Dorian Vask — Ashveil's lethal, unshakable Warlord — Elira steps into a world of royal power and sharper knives. While Dorian's quiet, unwavering devotion starts thawing a heart she thought had gone cold for good, Elira builds the case that will burn Vera's lies to the ground. She's done surviving. With a crown behind her, a love she chose for herself, and a reckoning three years in the making, Elira is coming back for Silver Hollow — and this time, no one gets to silence her.
Voir plusThe ringing of steel on steel echoed across the stone arches of Ashveil's high training courtyard.Dawn had barely broken over the frosted peaks, but cold sweat was already trickling down my spine. I gripped the hilt of a lightweight broadsword, my boots sliding slightly on the polished granite flags as I absorbed a light strike from Dorian's practice blade.Clang."Lower your center, Princess," Dorian said softly, circling me like a massive, patient wolf. He held his longsword with one hand, his posture relaxed, his golden eyes observing every breath I took. "If an Alpha lunges at you with full force, you don't block his momentum head-on. You redirect it."I wiped the hair from my eyes, my lungs burning. My body was still recovering from the miscarriage — the physical ache was a quiet, dull thrum in my lower abdomen — but I refused to put down the sword."Again," I gasped out.Dorian didn't move. He lowered his blade, resting the tip against the stone floor. "You've been at this for
The Great Hall of Silver Hollow smelled of stale ale and dying embers.For three days, the feast banners celebrating Vera's elevation had hung from the rafters, but no one was drinking anymore. The music had died the moment news arrived from the border that Alpha Kael had been found kneeling in the mud, screaming as the mate bond shattered inside his chest. Servants had taken to whispering in doorways instead of walking the halls openly, the way people do in a house where something has gone quietly, irreversibly wrong.Inside the Alpha study, documents were piled high on the mahogany desk — unbalanced trade ledgers, angry demand notes from the mountain clans, and unverified supply requisitions. Without Elira's sharp eye, the administrative machinery of the pack had ground to a sudden, screeching halt. No one had thought to ask, in all the months of taking her competence for granted, what would happen to Silver Hollow the day she stopped holding it together.Kael sat behind the desk, a
The silence in the royal wing was thick, broken only by the crackle of pine logs in the hearth.Roran's private sanctuary sat at the highest point of the palace, overlooking the white stone city below. Servants had placed a tray of spiced tea, warm bread, and roasted meats on the low carved table, but none of us had touched it. Outside the tall windows, the last of the afternoon light was turning the terraced rooftops the color of amber, and somewhere far below, a bell tolled the hour with a low, resonant chime that felt entirely unlike the harsh iron gongs of Silver Hollow."Selene exceeds her bounds," Roran said, pacing near the floor-to-ceiling windows, his silver eyes dark with irritation. "She treats this court as her personal drawing room because her father controls the southern grain trade.""She is an annoyance, Roran, not a threat," I said, leaning back against the high fur-lined chair. I had changed into a simple gown of deep sapphire wool — soft, warm, and free of any restr
The journey from the Ironwatch Outpost to the Ashveil Capital took three days through the snow-capped passes of the Dragontooth Mountains.With every mile, the air grew warmer, carried by the geothermal springs that fed the heart of the kingdom. My body, sustained by Dr. Hana's iron-root tonic and the fur-lined comforts of Dorian's heavy mantle, slowly began to reclaim its strength. The physical ache in my core dulled to a low murmur, though the silent void left by my lost child remained an unyielding weight beneath my ribs — the kind of weight that didn't lessen with distance, only settled deeper the longer I carried it. Dorian Vask rode beside me every step of the way.He didn't pepper me with empty condolences or ask about the life I had left behind in Silver Hollow. Instead, he pointed out tactical landmarks — the hidden archer nests along the granite cliffs, the supply depots carved into the rock, the old territorial border lines that predated the pack wars. He spoke to me not a
