MasukThey said the moon chooses wisely. But when the moon chose her twin, no one questioned it. Alira Vale was born seconds before her sister, yet somehow spent her entire life behind her second glance, second choice, second best. While Elira bloomed early into a powerful wolf adored by their pack, Alira remained unshifted at nineteen, whispered about as moon-cursed and quietly tolerated out of obligation. Still, she endured, with kindness that never hardened, with strength no one bothered to see. Until the night everything shattered. On the eve of the mating ceremony, Alira's long-awaited bond awakens, only for her mate to reject her publicly and claim her twin instead. Humiliated, broken, and abandoned by both fate and family, Alira does the unthinkable, she calls into the forbidden dark beyond pack borders. And something answers. Not wolf nor vampire but something far worse. In a world where wolves and vampires barely coexist without bloodshed, Kael Draven, a feared hybrid born of both bloodlines, should never have come for her. Yet he does. Drawn not by duty, not by politics, but by something deeper. Something dangerous. Something like fate, but far more intentional. As war brews between species and secrets unravel about her delayed transformation, Alira must confront a truth no one prepared her for: she was never late, she was never weak, she was never meant for them. And the man who chose her? He may be the beginning of everything, or the end of them all.

Right beside my ear."Don't be afraid."I froze. The voice was mine. But it wasn't."Who are you?"A soft laugh answered. "You already know."Something cold brushed my cheek. I stepped backward. "Stay away from me.""Why?""Because you sound like me.""I should."A faint silver light appeared in the darkness. A woman stepped into it. She had my face. My eyes. My mouth. Even the tiny scar beneath my collarbone. But there was something different about her. She looked complete. Not stronger. Not more beautiful. Just whole.I stared at her. "You're the original."She smiled. "One of them."My stomach dropped. "One of them?""There was never just one."The light expanded. Suddenly, the darkness was filled with mirrors. Hundreds of them. Each reflected me. But every reflection was slightly different. One had silver eyes. One had
The words hit harder than any weapon. What you did to her.I turned toward Kael. He had gone completely still."Kael?"He didn't answer. The versions of me behind the shattered glass began walking toward us. Dozens. Then hundreds. Different ages. Different clothes. Different scars. But the same eyes. The same face. The same soul. Or whatever remained of it.One of them stopped in front of Kael. She was young. Maybe thirteen. She stared at him with something that looked almost like pity."You don't remember."Kael's jaw tightened. "Remember what?""You asked her to forget."His face drained of color. I looked at him. "Kael?"He finally met my eyes. "I remember asking you to forget."My heart sank. "Why?""Because I thought it would save you.""From what?"He looked at the silver eye beneath the floor. "From me."Silence. I shook my head. "No."He stepped closer. "I was losing control.""The Hunger?"He nodded. "It wasn't just inside me." He looked at his hands. "It was changing me."Th
I couldn't answer. The question echoed through the chamber. Who did you choose to sacrifice?My hands were shaking. I looked at Elias. Then Kael. Then Liora. None of them spoke."Tell me," I whispered.The system didn't respond. Instead, the silver eye beneath the floor widened. A thread of light crawled across the stone and stopped beneath my feet. Then another. And another. Until a circle surrounded me.Kael immediately stepped toward me. The circle flashed. He was thrown backward."Kael!"He hit the wall hard. I ran toward him, but an invisible barrier stopped me."Don't touch it!" Liora shouted.I turned. "Why?""Because the system is separating you.""From Kael?""From everyone."The barrier rose around me. My breathing quickened. "No."Kael pushed himself upright. "Alira.""I'm here.""I know." His voice was strained. "Listen to me."The barrier grew brighter."Whatever you see, don't let it decide who you are."I nodded. Then the world disappeared.I was standing in the white r
For a moment, I couldn't move. The words hung between us. Kael was never supposed to love you.My eyes found Kael. He was staring at Elias with a hatred I'd never seen before. Not the controlled anger I had witnessed when someone threatened me. This was different. Older. Personal."Elias," Kael said quietly.Elias smiled. "You remember me now."Kael's jaw tightened. "Enough.""Enough to know what happened?""Enough to know you're lying."Elias laughed softly. "You always did that.""Did what?""Protect her from the truth."My heart twisted. I looked between them. "You've met before."Neither answered. I stepped closer to Kael. "Tell me."His eyes met mine. "I don't remember everything.""But you remember him.""A little."Elias scoffed. "A little?"Kael's expression hardened. "You don't know what they did to us.""I know exactly what they did."Elias lifted his sleeve. There was a scar around his wrist. A perfect silver circle. The same symbol that had appeared on my skin.My breath c
