Prologue

Chapter 1- Proposition

*Flashback*"And what happened to the father bear, Mumma?" eight-year-old Lucy asked, her big blue eyes wide with curiosity.Her mother, Wilma, chuckled softly and tucked the unicorn blanket around Lucy’s small frame. “Sweetheart, we’ll finish the story tomorrow. It’s way past your bedtime.”She pressed a kiss to Lucy’s forehead, brushing back her curls with a familiar, gentle hand.That was the last time Lucy saw her mother alive.The next morning, she woke up to chaos. Loud voices, heavy footsteps, the air thick with panic.Still half-asleep, Lucy tiptoed out of her room and froze at the sight in the hallway. A tall man, dressed in black, stood over her mother, stabbing her again and again.“Mumma!” she screamed, racing toward them. But the man didn’t even glance her way. He slipped out the back door and disappeared.Lucy dropped to her knees beside her mother’s bleeding body. Wilma’s breaths were shallow, crackling with every second that passed.Then came the sound of footsteps behi

Chapter 2- Agreement

“What in Moon Goddess’ name... is this true?” Lucy gasped, covering her mouth with both hands in shock.“Yes. Well... that could be the only plausible explanation,” Jo said, rubbing her temples in an attempt to ease the throbbing headache blooming behind her eyes. “I try my best to cover my scent in all my clothes and belongings. But when I gave you my spare clothes earlier... I forgot. And I didn’t expect you to come out to the kitchen so fast.”“But if you really are Alpha Jayden’s mate, why not just tell him?” Lucy chirped, her blue eyes shining brightly, a light Jo had never seen in her before. It made Jo smile weakly. “Even if we’re omegas, a mate bond is sacred. It's above all werewolf laws.”“Lucy, it’s a lot more complicated than you think.” Jo’s voice softened. “And it’s better if you don’t know the full story. I’m just asking you to play along. Pretend to be Alpha Jayden’s mate for a while. I’ll give you all of my scented clothes, and we’ll drag this out long enough to make o

Chapter 3- The royal visit

Lucy finally reached her basement room and paused, taking in the grimy scene. Dust floated thickly in the stale air, clinging to the cracked walls. Insects crawled freely across the floor, and sometimes even across her skin. Once, she would have screamed. Now, she barely noticed.She bent down and grabbed a few pieces of clothing, her movements mechanical. Sitting down on the edge of the creaky bed, Lucy stared blankly at the room she had been trapped in for so long.Everything was changing so quickly. After years of nothing but misery... could she really be free in just a few months?Her hand trembled slightly as she remembered her small pouch. She had hidden it deep inside an old dusty vase. Her tiny savings, enough, she hoped, to buy herself a real start.Lucy crossed the room and reached inside the vase. Her fingers brushed the rough fabric just as footsteps echoed down the basement stairs.She stiffened."Well, well. Looks like the dumb bitch is packing to go somewhere," Gina’s m

Chapter 4- Stranger Danger

"What an annoying guest," Jo thought bitterly as she stalked back toward the kitchen. Not only did he have the audacity to wander alone through a foreign pack, but he also insulted her cooking. Royal guards and generals, always bursting with ego and pride. It was no secret Jo hated them with passion.When she reentered the kitchen, the chaos had only worsened. Polly was darting around, barking orders at the overwhelmed omegas."Polly, you need to slow down," Jo said, trying to soothe her friend. "You’re going to make all the omegas cry with that tone."Polly paused, pressing her fingers against her temples. "I just found out the royal visit’s been extended for a week," she muttered, exasperated. "They were supposed to stay one night. Now I have to prepare more rooms, assign extra omegas... it’s total chaos. I know you wanted Lucy to rest, but... I really need more hands."Jo sighed. "Alright, fine. But assign Lucy with me, okay? We'll manage."Polly raised an eyebrow, watching her a

Chapter 5- True scent

"Caleb, any updates?" Dante mindlinked, already knowing his friend was probably in bed with another she-wolf."Nah, man," Caleb replied casually. "I was busy dealing with a... rather important issue that required my immediate attention."Dante rolled his eyes and sighed heavily. Of course.They were only supposed to stay here one night. But after his encounter with Jolene... everything changed. He had extended the visit for a full week, wasting precious time, and he didn’t even care. Not when he knew his mate was here. Somewhere close.His heart screamed that it was Jolene. But then... why had the other girl carried the same scent too? Was he mistaken? Was something wrong with him?"Just make sure you speak to the witnesses by this evening," Dante ordered sharply, snapping the mindlink shut.This mission was supposed to be straightforward. Instead, he couldn’t get Jolene’s face, her wild, vibrant hair, out of his mind. He needed to see her again. No, he had to.*"What do we d

Chapter 6- Pretend mate

"I’m only joking, Miss Jo," Dante said with a smirk tugging at his handsome mouth.Jo didn’t believe him for a second. He knew something. She could see it in the way he watched her, sharp, too sharp.She would need to get back to her room later to reinforce the masking of her scent. She also had to strengthen Lucy’s masking... and fast. This was getting riskier by the hour.Nothing, absolutely nothing, was going to come between her and her future. She had been on the run for too long. Sleeping with one eye open. Fighting off the darkness at every turn.And now? Now, she had Lucy to fight for too. Lucy deserved freedom. They both did."Ha-ha," Jo said dryly. "Do all the werewolves from the royal kingdom have such impeccable humor? Because if so, I’ll need to strike the royal kingdom off my travel list."She clapped her hands together before Dante could reply, flashing him with a sarcastic smile."If you’re done with your jokes, shall we make haste to the hunting grounds, Ge-ne-r

Chapter 7- Hunting Part I

As Jo led Dante toward the hunting ground, the noise of the gathering crowd grew louder and louder.Jo’s stomach twisted in disgust.Every year, the Dark Slayer pack held their "traditional hunt", a brutal bloodsport where captured slaves were hunted down and killed. They weren’t just demons, either. Many were wandering elves, half-fairies, and other magical creatures caught near the no-man’s border. Creatures that didn’t deserve to die.Alpha Jayden took perverse pride in these hunts, flaunting them as some glorious tradition. Jo doubted the royal King and Queen even knew what was happening here.The hunting ground was already filling up. Slaves in shackles, bruised, battered, defeated, were herded like cattle, their eyes hollow.Jo flinched instinctively at the sight but quickly straightened her posture. She couldn’t afford to show weakness here.Above the grounds, a grand tent stood overlooking the field, filled with higher-ranked officials lounging comfortably, sipping wine,

Chapter 8- Hunting Part II

Jo scanned the bustling field as participants warmed up for the hunt. Commanders, warriors, and pack officials all stretched casually, laughing with their chosen maidens by their sides. They looked relaxed, like this was some festival, while the slaves huddled below, awaiting slaughter.Caleb had chosen Evelyn, Gina’s younger sister. Unlike Gina and her vapid mother, Evelyn was shy, intelligent, and kind. Jo had spoken to her a few times before, and had been impressed. At least one redeemable soul came out of that bloodline.Predictably, Gina was still clinging to Alpha Jayden, practically glued to his side. No surprise there. Gina was desperate to be Luna. She would grovel, cling, and spread her legs if it meant sitting on the Luna throne.Jo huffed under her breath. Meanwhile, Dante’s hand was still firmly locked around hers, like a damn shackle.She glared sideways at the infuriating general.The audacity. If she wasn’t hiding under this fake omega identity, she would’ve kn

Chapter 9- Hunting Part III

Jo stared at the dark-haired general who was watching her far too closely. For some unsettling reason, he didn’t look angry about the trick she pulled on him earlier.He looked... pleased.Dangerously pleased."General, these two slaves are old friends of mine," Jo said carefully, keeping her voice even. "They’re not demons. I’ll be in your debt if you can talk to our Alpha and arrange for their release after the hunt."Dante gave a lazy smirk, playing along. "Old friends, huh? Werewolves too? How did they end up in a hunting ground full of demons?""Umm, yes, General!" Jo said brightly, piling on the pitiful omega act. "They’re low-ranked omegas like myself. We can't shift, too weak, so we got captured easily."Dante studied her.He didn't buy it for a second. Not really.But gods, he wanted to believe her. He wanted to believe the faint mate scent he caught earlier, the one that had driven him feral, belonged to her.Still... Why was she lying about the fairies?Even if she'd
