MasukGorgo Lykaon POV"That cold bite and his scary alpha eyes make it so hard for my wolf to breathe," I say to myself as I sit alone on the edge of my bed.It takes me a very long time to stop shaking. Leonidas finally left my room, taking his massive kingly scent with him. Now I see why he came to the Lykaon Moonkeep so late. He wanted to show everyone that he decides who talks about our secret night.He wants me to know that if his beast is happy, nobody can hurt my wolf, not even my mean stepfamily. But if I make him mad, he can crush my bones like a tiny bug.He wants to rule my whole life!He is just angry because my wolf used his body to burn off the fire potion in the woods and then I stole his territory car and left him behind.Why must a supreme alpha king be so small-hearted?In my past life, I never knew Leonidas was such a petty wolf.I roll around on my furs all night and cannot sleep. I never wanted the eternal lunar bond ceremony to be pushed back or ruined like this.When
Leonidas Argyros POV"What do you think you are doing?" I say to Leonidas as he drops his heavy black shirt on the stone floor and pulls at his silver-buckled warrior belt.My eyes widen, and my face gets super hot when I see his thick muscles and the dark wolf tattoos on his skin. I have to look away fast because my inner wolf wants to jump right into his arms."Supreme Alpha King, I really made a big mistake tonight," I say, trying to make my voice steady. "You can give me any pack punishment you want, and I will take it. But I know your beast does not truly want to take a rejected moonborn heiress as your mate."He has no love for me, so it makes no sense that his wolf wanted my body so much in the woods tonight. It was just an accident from the magic wine."I can travel to the Argyros Citadel myself to bow before the old grandmother," I tell him. "I will tell her the mistake was all mine, so your bloodline has no shame. You will not look bad to the Great Pack Assembly.""And?" Leo
Leonidas Argyros POV"The supreme alpha king is standing outside our gates right now," the pack caretaker pants heavily.I open my mouth, but no words come out. My chest feels tight because my little trick to stop my father's hand actually worked. But the sky is still pitch black, and the moon is high up. Why is the master of the Silverclaw Throne inside the Lykaon Moonkeep at this hour?Every wolf in the room starts to shake with a mix of big fear and crazy excitement. Charles and Kate run out of the iron doors fast to welcome him. Artemisia licks her fingers and fixes the fur around her face before she dashes out too.I take a deep breath and slip away from the stairs, hiding inside my own sleeping room while they are all busy kissing his boots.When Leonidas steps into the light, my family looks like they saw a ghost. His heavy black clothes are damp, and his trousers have rough folds in the fabric. It looks like his clothes got soaked in the sea and dried up in the cold wind. His
Gorgo Lykaon POV"What drink can make a young female wolf get dizzy, make her blood burn like fire, and make her inner wolf act crazy?" I ask.High Alpha Merchant Lord Charles spins around. He is almost fifty winters old, so he knows exactly what kind of fire potion makes a wolf lose control. He glares right at Artemisia.Artemisia looks super guilty. She shakes her head fast, and her eyes get watery. "Father, I never put a bad potion in Gorgo's cup! How can you think that?"I blink my big eyes and look at her like a confused pup. "Sister, what does the word potion mean? What did you put inside my sweet moon-wine?"I am only eighteen winters old tonight. It is so easy to play dumb and act like a little girl who knows nothing. I make my voice sound very soft and small."Artemisia! What did you make her swallow?" Charles roars, his brow furrowing with dark anger.He knows if his second daughter did something bad to ruin the treaty with the supreme alpha king, the whole Lykaon Moonfang P
Gorgo Lykaon POV"Is Gorgo back at the Lykaon Moonkeep? What is happening? Bring her to the great hall right now!" High Alpha Merchant Lord Charles yells out.He stamps his heavy boots on the stone floor because he is so mad to hear I am upstairs in my sleeping cave. He thinks my small wolf met with an accident or that I am with the supreme alpha king, but I come back alone. He thinks I am throwing away our pact."She is just a useless, rejected moonborn heiress," Charles barks, his teeth showing. "Leonidas Argyros is willing to accept her into his bloodline, and she behaves like an idiot! If she makes the supreme alpha king angry, the Lykaon Moonfang Pack will lose all our territory rights in Sparta Moonhaven! She will destroy our whole bloodline!"His mate, Kate, looks at the healing omega and screams, "Go upstairs and drag Gorgo down this instant!""Yes, Luna!" The omega runs up the stone steps.Artemisia Lykaon walks fast through the heavy iron doors and hears them talking about m
GORGO LYKAOON POVI jerk awake, heartbeat wild. “What the… what’s going on? Where am I?”Weird angle, weird cushion. I squint around, empty. Totally alone.I glance down. My ceremony gown is shredded to bits. Ripped cloth everywhere. My stomach turns over.What did I know? Did I do this? Did I really tear my own dress apart? When did I get so strong?I try sitting up, and pain fires through my whole body. I grit my teeth. Memories start to crawl back in. Piece by uncomfortable piece.Oh, gods. No. Please, no.I was on top of Leonidas. I yanked off his shirt. Undid his belt. Tugged his pants. Moon Goddess, what did I do?I started it. I pushed myself on the most wanted male in all of Sparta Moonhaven, the Supreme Alpha King of the Argyros Silverclaw Pack.Something feels off. Why am I so embarrassed? More like I’m the one who got swept up in all that, not him.“It hurts,” I mutter. I yank my jacket tight around me and peek out the car window.There he is. Not far off, tall and broad ag
Gorgo Lykaon POV"Lock the outer door and make sure the camera is ready to take the photos," Artemisia Lykaon says outside.I shake my head hard. My brain feels full of heavy fog. I look at my hands. I look down at my long dress with the bad cuts that show too much skin. I look at a big mirror on t
“Let’s break this lunar bond, right now,” I say.I stare at Leonidas Argyros, the supreme alpha king, the wolf every female in Sparta Moonhaven wants. He’s got dark hair, a powerful build, and this intimidating aura that hangs around him like a storm. But he’s never wanted me. For three winters, I
Gorgo Lykaon POV"Get out of the car right now!" Leonidas Argyros barks at the front seat.The territory rider jumps out fast. The big black car door shuts with a loud slam. His boots make a quick scratching noise on the dirt before he runs away into the night woods. Now it is just the supreme alph
Gorgo Lykaon POV"Drive the car now," Leonidas Argyros says.The territory rider gasps very loudly. His eyes are big because he sees the red blood on the supreme alpha king's neck. But Leonidas does not yell. He does not even look mad. He just looks out the black glass at the two bad wolves who are
