LOGINI spent my whole life in the shadow of my gorgeous sister, letting my family treat me like the backup plan while I hid the strange, ancient magic humming under my skin. When the moon goddess chose a legendary, highly successful Alpha as my fated mate, I thought I had finally won my freedom from their cruelty. But my sister’s jealousy changed everything overnight. Coveting my successful mate, she got our parents on her side, and together they forced us to swap places, leaving me bound to the cruel, cold Alpha she was originally arranged to marry. They expect me to break under the weight of this stolen destiny, but they have no idea what kind of power they just unleashed into the wrong pack house.
View MoreReyaThree full days passed, and I quickly realized that living in the guard wing of the Blackwood fortress was basically like being a ghost. Alpha Killian completely kept his word about ignoring me. He did not check on me once. A quiet, elderly omega servant brought a tray of minimal rations to my room twice a day, usually consisting of stale bread, a bowl of thin broth, and some dried meat. I did not complain about the food. I ate every single bite because I needed to keep my physical strength up. I spent my daylight hours sitting by the small, drafty window of my room, studying every single detail of the fortress courtyard below. I watched the Blackwood warriors train in the muddy snow for hours. They were brutal, efficient, and completely serious about their combat. There was no laughing or showing off like the warriors back in the Southern Valley. This pack lived on the edge of survival, and it showed in every movement. By the third night, the temperature dropped significantly,
ReyaThe journey to the northern border took three agonizing days. By the time the heavy wooden carriage finally ground to a halt, the warm green fields of the south were completely gone. I looked out the small window and saw nothing but dark pine trees and a freezing mountain rainstorm that looked completely miserable. The driver did not even bother to open my door from the outside. "We go no further, Lady Reya," the Oakwood pack driver shouted from his high seat, his voice shaking through the wooden panels. "The Blackwood border guards told us to drop you right here at the outer iron gates. We are turning back immediately. Good luck." I grabbed the handle of my small suitcase and pushed the door open myself. The second I stepped down, my cheap shoes sank ankle-deep into freezing black mud. The icy rain drenched my thin wool coat in less than two seconds, making me shiver violently. Behind me, the driver slammed the carriage into reverse, turned the horses around, and sped away dow
ReyaThe fairy tale did not even last until midnight. The very second our carriage pulled up to the Oakwood estate, the illusion shattered into a million pieces. We barely made it through the front doors before the first heavy crystal vase came flying across the grand parlor, smashing directly into the mahogany wall right next to my head. Shards of glass rained down onto the carpet. "I won't do it! I absolutely won't do it! I will not let that plain, useless loser have him!" Bernice shrieked at the top of her lungs. Her perfect golden curls bounced frantically around her face as she stomped her feet like a toddler having a tantrum. Her cheeks were bright red, and tears of pure rage were smudging her makeup. "Alpha Skylar belongs to me! He is supposed to be mine!" I stayed near the doorway, casually brushing a stray piece of glass off the sleeve of my green dress. I kept my hands inside my pockets so nobody could see how hard I was clenching my fists. "He doesn't belong to you, Berni
Reya"Stand straighter, Reya. You look like a hunchback standing next to your sister," my mother, Eleanor, hissed the words directly into my ear. She did not actually look at my face while she spoke. Her eyes were completely glued to my younger sister, Bernice, who was currently preening in front of a massive mirror. I sighed and adjusted my posture by a fraction of an inch. "I am standing perfectly straight, Mother. Perhaps it is just the weight of your ridiculous expectations bending my spine." Eleanor sharply inhaled, her face turning a light shade of pink. "Do not use that tone with me, young lady. Tonight is the most important night of our lives. Your sister is a pure white wolf. She represents the future of the Oakwood pack. You are just here to make sure she looks flawless." I kept my mouth shut because arguing with my mother was like trying to talk to a brick wall. It was a complete waste of my breath. I turned my head and looked at my own reflection in the long glass pane
