LOGIN“I’m sorry, Donna… the baby didn’t make it.” Those words shattered her world. Her husband’s betrayal finished the job. Once Luna of Ironclad, Donna is cast aside—rejected, beaten, and sold like cattle. The people who once bowed before her now laughed at her humiliation. Even her closest servants turned against her. “Five years without an heir. She has no value left.” But on the auction block, when all hope was lost, a stranger’s voice cut through the crowd. “One million.” The hall fell silent. His presence makes even Alphas bow their heads. And when his eyes meet hers, Donna felt it— the undeniable pull of a bond she thought was lost forever after being rejected. “She is mine,” he declared. “My mate.” Broken. Betrayed. Branded again by fate. Donna’s story is just about to begin.
View MoreDonna’s POV The next morning, I entered the Luna Court hall with a cautious sense of determination. The sun streamed through the high windows, bright and cold, highlighting every polished surface, every attentive gaze. I could feel the weight of expectation settling over me again. Today’s trials would be more physically demanding, and I knew Silver would be ready to push me further.Clara followed closely, her eyes scanning the room. “Silver is already looking for ways to unsettle you,” she said softly. “Pay attention to every detail, and instruction. If she tries to misdirect you, don’t react openly. Think before you move.”I nodded, feeling the bond with Dane thrum faintly beneath my skin. His presence, though invisible, gave me a small measure of reassurance. I focused, setting aside the anxiety creeping at the edges of my mind.The first exercise of the day was a test of agility and endurance. Participants were to navigate an obstacle course designed to challenge balance, streng
Donna’s POVThe hall of the Luna Court buzzed with quiet murmurs as we assembled for the first stage of the contest. The sunlight filtered through the tall windows, casting sharp lines across polished wood floors, illuminating each participant with an almost judicial clarity. I stepped forward, my chest tight with anticipation, the bond pulsing faintly beneath my skin as if urging me to remain alert.Silver was already positioned near the center, her movements flawless, her gaze calculating. Every subtle shift of her expression, every tilt of her head, carried intention. She was watching me, no doubt planning her first move, and I could feel the subtle tension she radiated to the others.Leona’s voice cut through the quiet, clear and authoritative. “The first challenge will test public speaking and composure. Each participant will address the Court, speaking on the responsibilities of a Luna in both governance and guidance. Speak clearly, confidently, and with purpose. Those who fal
Donna’s POV The great hall of the Luna Court was quiet at first, the sunlight streaming through tall arched windows, gilding the polished wooden floor. Women of the Court, betas’ wives, and advisors lined the walls, exchanging quiet whispers as they waited. I stepped carefully into the hall, heart racing despite my attempt at composure.Silver sat near the head of the council, her posture perfect, expression serene. But I recognized the flicker of amusement in her eyes as she scanned the room and landed on me. She was planning something, I could feel it even from a distance.The murmurs quieted as the council’s lead, Leona, spoke. “We are here to address a matter of protocol and tradition. The selection of a ‘Luna of the Day’ will be announced and observed. This contest is intended to showcase skill, composure, and leadership for those within the Court.”A soft gasp traveled through the assembly. The Luna of the Day contest was not common; it was both ceremonial and practical, testi
Donna’s POV I hadn’t expected Dane to ask me to the gardens, let alone for a private dinner. My footsteps carried me along the stone path, heart racing slightly—not from fear, but from anticipation. The scent of evening blooms hung thick in the air, mingling with the faint aroma of fresh herbs from nearby planters.When I reached the gazebo at the far end of the garden, I froze. The space was bathed in warm candlelight, each flame flickering softly, casting shadows across the carefully arranged table set for two. The sight made my breath catch.“Dane…” I whispered, surprised.He stood from behind the table, offering a small, tentative smile. “I wanted a quiet evening,” he said. “Away from the training halls, the court, and everything else. Just… us.”I felt a flutter of warmth. His presence alone calmed the tension I’d carried all day. “It’s… beautiful,” I managed.He gestured toward the seats. “Shall we sit?”I lowered myself carefully onto the chair, glancing around at the subtle
