Just as he stood from his chair, the door opened. Ariana stepped in with a confident sway, holding a bottle of red wine, her lips painted to match. Her eyes glowed with satisfaction. “Now that bitch is gone, I can finally get him,” she whispered to herself. "Austin," she said sweetly, closing the door behind her. "You seem so tense tonight… Maybe I can help you relax a little?" Before he could even reply, she was already beside him, sliding her hand across his chest, her body pressed close. "Ariana," he said firmly. "Not tonight. Go get some rest." But Ariana leaned in, ignoring his words, trying to kiss him. That’s when the sound hit him—a distant howl, sharp and filled with pain. Austin’s head snapped up. "What was that?" Ariana tried to block his view. “Come on, Austin… it’s just a howl. It’s
As Austin and Rosemary kissed each other desperately, wrapped in the wild rush of heat and longing, something shifted. The full moon that had bathed the room in silver light slipped behind the clouds. Slowly, the fire that had been raging inside Austin began to fade.The mating heat... it vanished.Suddenly, his mind cleared. His grip loosened. His lips stopped moving against hers. Austin pulled back, staring at Rosemary, chest rising and falling like he’d just escaped drowning.Shit… he thought. It must’ve been the mating heat…Rosemary opened her eyes, confusion and hurt swimming in them. When she saw his expression, her face twisted.“Are you messing with me right now?” she asked, her voice low and shaky.Austin hesitated. “No, I—”“You’re disgusting,” she snapped, stepping back before he could finish.Just then, the door creaked open. One of the maids stood nervously, holding out a bundle of soft fabric. “Alpha Austin,” she said, not meeting their eyes, “here’s the dress you reque
There stood Rosemary at the top of the grand staircase.Her hair flowed like a dark waterfall over her shoulders. The deep blue dress hugged her curves perfectly, its silver embroidery glowing under the chandeliers. Her calm, graceful descent made her look like a queen. A real Luna.People murmured, stunned. “They make a perfect couple,” someone whispered.Ariana’s jaw tightened. “No way.”Alex nudged Austin again. “Gotta say, man… you’re so lucky.”Austin said nothing. He couldn’t stop staring. Not even if he tried.Before he knew it, Rosemary stood alone by the drinks table, a soft smile on her lips. Two men made their way toward her, laughing and clearly trying to get her attention.Alex chuckled. “Looks like your bride is the center of attention.”Austin’s eyes narrowed. “I don’t care about her,” he said, but his drink was already forgotten on the counter.One of the men reached out and placed a hand on Rosemary’s shoulder. They leaned in, speaking softly to her, clearly enchanted
It was Ariana. And her face was full of cold rage. Without a word, she walked over, holding a glass of water—and poured it over Rosemary’s head. Rosemary gasped, jumping to her feet. “What is your problem?!” she shouted. Ariana smirked. “Just marking my territory. Stay away from Austin. That kiss today? That was a mistake. He’ll never love a human like you.” Ariana's eyes glowed with fury, and her fingers twitched like claws itching to strike. stepping closer. “You think that kiss meant something? That Austin cares for you?” Rosemary’s breath hitched. “I’m not afraid of you.” But Ariana wasn’t listening. Her body began to shift. Bones cracked, fur started to sprout, and her growl echoed off the walls. She was shifting. Charging. Rosemary froze, panic setting in. She was human—she didn’t stand a chance against a wolf. But just as Ariana lunged forward, the door burst open. “Enough!” Austin’s voice thundered through the room like a storm. He moved with impossible speed, p
“You are my only mate, Ariana.” His words were smooth—but his eyes remained locked on the direction Rosemary had walked away in, as if part of him wasn’t convinced. A FEW HOURS EARLIER Back at Rosemary’s father’s house. The night was quiet. The wind whispered through the trees, and the moonlight bathed her room in pale silver. She sat in front of her mirror, pulling up her sleeve to examine the reddish mark left on her arm when Austin had dragged her earlier. It had stung then, but now the pain was fading. She reached for a cotton swab and a bottle of ointment, ready to clean the wound—but just as she touched her skin, she froze. The mark… was healing. Rapidly. Right in front of her eyes. Within seconds, the redness was gone. Her skin looked untouched—smooth, pale, and perfect. Rosemary blinked, shocked. “Here it comes again,” she whispered to herself. “Always healing so fast… never had a cut last longer than a night.” She stared at her reflection, her thoughts spiraling.
“Ariana?” he said, stunned. She beamed, walking closer. “Alpha Austin.” He stepped back slightly, confused. “You’re my mate?” Ariana tilted her head. “I think so. The Moon Goddess has her way, right? I’m the old beta’s daughter… you’ve known me since we were pups. But I never thought we'd share the mate bond.” Austin moved closer to her, something inside him unsure, unsettled. He gently shifted her blouse from the side of her neck and saw the mark. “My bite,” he whispered. Ariana smiled wider and pulled him into a hug, wrapping her arms tightly around him. As she pressed her cheek to his, her smile deepened, but her eyes grew colder. Austin… she thought to herself. I won’t let you love anyone else. From today on, I’m your mate, and I will be your Luna. No matter what it takes. But in the depths of Austin’s chest, something felt wrong. Something wasn’t clicking. The bond still felt… hollow. Unseen by him, Ariana’s fingers twitched nervously behind his back, like she was hidin
