LOGINZahra-Rose’s life crumbled in a single night, her mother and siblings kidnapped, her father, the alpha of the Moonshine Pack, killed. Rejected at the altar by her mate, she vowed never to trust again. But fate isn’t done with her yet. To save her pack, Zahra-Rose is forced into an arranged marriage with Alpha Ashvin the cold, ruthless brother of the man who broke her heart. Feared across the three realms, Ashvin hides a dangerous secret. Beneath his fearsome exterior, the weight of leadership drives him to escape into the human world, living a double life as a nameless stripper. When Ashvin unexpectedly encounters Zahra-Rose in his secret world, forbidden feelings begin to surface—emotions he has buried for years. Their union was never meant to be about love, but as they join forces against a shared enemy, sparks ignite, and alliances blur. With danger closing in and secrets threatening to destroy them, can Zahra-Rose and Ashvin overcome their pain and trust one another? Or will their pasts and the enemies lurking in the shadows tear them apart for good?
View MoreThe circle pulses again, harder this time.Like it’s trying to tear me apart piece by piece.My teeth grind together as I force myself not to scream again.Not this time.Sharp pain floods through me but I hold onto it. I don’t let it swallow me whole.Because now I know what this is.A test.And I refuse to fail.“You will break,” the voice echoes again, colder now.I lift my head slowly, my vision blurred but burning with defiance.“No,” I rasp. “I won’t.”The symbols beneath me flare brighter in response.Like they heard me.Like they’re challenging me.Fine.Let them.Another wave crashes into me and this time I feel it, not just the pain but something elseA pull so deep in my chest, faint at first like earlier but it is growing.Eira.‘Again,’ she growls weakly. ‘Push again.’“I’m trying,” I choke out, my fingers digging into the ground as I force myself upright.My body trembles violently, barely holding together under the pressure.But I push.I reach.
“You were given to me?” The words echo around the empty space and I didn’t need to ask by whom, that answer was glaring right at me.The words didn’t just echo, they settled so deep and heavy, they felt like chains wrapping around my bones.My fist clenched at my sides, nails biting into my palms as I forced myself to stay standing.“I’m not yours,” I snap my voice sharper than I feel. “I don’t belong to anyone.” There was an exception to that, someone I was bonded with, someone I knew was out there right now searching desperately and frantically for me.Silence answers back at me until I thought the echoing voice will never speak again.“You speak with defiance,” the voice murmurs. “Good.”A sudden pressure builds beneath my feet.“What are you….”The ground beneath me glows, faint at first but then it gets brighter, lines begin to form spreading outward in intricate patterns, circling me, locking me in place before I can even move.Looking down, a symbol forms beneath me, a ritual
ZAHRA-ROSEI don’t know how long I’ve been running. Or if I’ve even been moving at all.The space around me doesn’t change.No matter how far I go… it stays the same.Empty and silent.Too silent.My breathing comes out uneven as I slow to a stop, my chest rising and falling rapidly. The air here is thick, heavy with incense and something older… something that clings to my skin like it’s trying to seep into me.“Eira?” I call again.Nothing.Not even an echo of her presence.The absence of my wolf feels wrong,unnatural. Like a part of me has been ripped away and sealed somewhere I can’t reach.I know I have lived the majority of my life without her but having her and losing her is something I know I can't love without, I can't live with my wolf. My fingers curl slightly.This isn’t just separation.This is suppression and it is a very deliberate one. My heart pounds harder.No. No, no, no....I forced myself to breathe, to think of the moment I stepped out of my room today, what tra
As I approached the outskirts of the pack where Alyaanah said she was the first thing I noticed was her.She stood beside her car.From a distance, I could already see it,The way her body trembled.Whatever happened here… it shook her badly.“Alyaanah,” I called, closing the distance quickly. I placed a steady hand on her shoulder before she even realized I was there.She turned to me.And the panic in her eyes,It hit hard.“I… I…” Her voice broke, words tangling as tears streamed down her face. “I sat in the car and….”She couldn’t finish.I tightened my grip on her shoulder slightly, grounding her.“I’m here,” I said firmly. “Breathe.”Her body continued to shake, so I gently took her hand and guided her back into the car, settling her into the seat.She slumped back, still trembling.I gave her space.For now.Stepping away from the car, I turned toward the open land surrounding us.Nothing.Just grass stretching endlessly in every direction.No structure.No trace.“Can you pick
ZAHRA-ROSEAt this point, I’m getting used to the training. It doesn’t hurt as much anymore, and I think my body has finally adapted to the intensity of it. The soreness, the bruises, they no longer sting the way they used to.But even as my limbs grow stronger, my mind keeps drifting to tomorrow’s
ASHVIN HARVEYThe previous day had been far too intense for everyone, but especially for her.I wasn’t sure if I should say I was proud, but I was. The way Zahra-Rose stood her ground, the way she submitted herself to her purpose without letting anyone intimidate her, it was the kind of strength th

Asael was by my side as I shifted back, offering me a change of clothes after the successful hunt.“You make this leadership thing look so easy. How do you do it?” he asked as I pulled on the shirt he handed me.Zen was exhausted, but satisfied.He loved coming out to play, to hunt, and to run bene
