Chapter 1

I stood on the ceremonial stone altar, my white dress flowing in the gentle forest breeze as I recited the sacred binding vows before the pack. But the space beside mine remained empty—my intended mate hadn't stepped forward.The gathered werewolves below whispered among themselves, their enhanced hearing making every murmur audible to my sensitive ears."Another humiliation," I thought bitterly, my wolf stirring restlessly beneath my skin.Sure enough, Axel lingered at the edge of the clearing, toying with the silver binding bracelet meant for my wrist. He turned to my stepsister Diana with a smirk that showed the edge of his canines."Diana, didn't you mention how tedious these mating ceremonies are? Two wolves recite ancient vows, exchange bracelets, and it's done.""Today I'll show you a ceremony with just one wolf. Interesting, don't you think?"Her half-brother Derek, another beta of Axel's pack, immediately grabbed the ceremonial horn and announced loudly: "The mating ceremony i

"I just called Luna to prepare for the ceremony," Axel laughed, his voice carrying through the thin walls of Derek's den. "And she actually believed I was going to claim her as my mate!""Is she truly that desperate?" His voice held the smug satisfaction of an alpha toying with a subordinate.Derek's deeper voice rumbled in response, "She suspects nothing. The pack will witness her humiliation, and Diana will be entertained. The emotional display will be magnificent."I covered my mouth to suppress a gasp, my wolf whimpering in distress inside her. Even her half-brother, born of another litter but still pack, had turned against her.My childhood friend Kai's eager voice joined in, "What if we replace the blessed herbs in the ceremonial water with wolfsbane extract? Diluted enough not to harm me but enough to make my scent utterly repulsive for days!""Don't tell Diana in advance," Kai added. "Her reaction will be more genuine that way."They seemed delighted with this scheme, their com

The crystal pulsed with energy but remained silent, no response coming through despite several minutes of waiting.my confidence wavered, my heart sinking. They had only met during one moon, after all.Axel watched me with predatory amusement, his lips curled in a mocking smile that revealed his sharp canines."Luna, I thought you were merely shameless before, but now I see you're quite skilled at deceiving yourself."Derek's lips pulled back in a sneer. "Luna, stop this useless performance. You're making our bloodline look weak."Diana tilted her head in feigned understanding and said to Axel, "She seems genuinely desperate to participate in a mating ceremony.""Perhaps you could humor her through the motions? I find her situation rather... pitiful."Axel refused without hesitation, his alpha dominance flaring. "I merely wished to entertain you. I have no intention whatsoever of binding myself to Luna."He stepped back deliberately, distancing himself from my scent as if establishing

Derek stared at the mating certificate in shock, his expression momentarily confused before dissolving into disbelieving laughter."Luna, you've truly committed to this performance!""Do you realize whose name is on this document? How dare you forge an alpha's mark?"Axel snatched up the certificate, his eyes widening as he examined the blood signatures.The entire clearing fell silent as the pack members exchanged bewildered glances."Which rogue pack forger did you bribe for this? They couldn't even properly replicate the scent markers." Axel's voice dripped with derision. "This alpha, Dominic Blackthorn, visited our territory just yesterday to discuss a territorial alliance.""He specifically mentioned he had just completed a mating bond and was occupied with his new mate!""You claim to be his mate? This is beyond pathetic, Luna."Recalling yesterday's events, I remembered how Dominic had indeed accompanied me to select my ceremonial dress. His communication crystal had constantly

The deep, resonant voice sent a shiver down my spine as I turned to face Dominic Blackthorn. His powerful presence filled the ceremonial clearing, his imposing height and broad shoulders draped in ceremonial white that matched my own.Dominic steadied me with gentle yet firm hands, his touch sending a strange warmth through my body. My wolf, normally so wary around dominant males, settled immediately beneath his touch."Your dress is soaked," he observed, concern evident in his voice. "You should change before the moonrise portion of our ceremony."His amber eyes, flecked with gold that seemed to glow in the forest light, assessed my appearance. "The silver-backed ceremonial dress you tried yesterday would complement your eyes perfectly."Leaning closer, his lips nearly brushing my ear, he whispered, "Stand tall, little wolf. I'm here now."I felt myself gradually relaxing, the tension draining from my shoulders as my wolf recognized something in this alpha that inspired both comfort a

Alexander's attitude transformed dramatically in the presence of the powerful alpha. He approached Dominic with exaggerated cordiality, clasping his hand and smiling broadly."Welcome to our family, Alpha Blackthorn. Had I known of your interest in my daughter, I would have arranged a proper introduction much sooner."Dominic subtly withdrew his hand from Alexander's grasp, his expression cooling several degrees. Without acknowledging the thinly veiled attempt at alliance, he guided me toward my grandmother.The elderly she-wolf's eyes brightened with relief as I took their joined hands in her weathered ones. Despite my frailty, the former alpha female's aura still commanded respect."Luna, may the moon bless your union," she said, her voice trembling but joyful.Dominic knelt before my grandmother, a gesture of profound respect rarely shown by alphas outside their own bloodline. He listened attentively as she shared traditional pack wisdom and blessings, showing no impatience despite

Dominic tapped my forehead playfully with his knuckle, his mock complaint belied by the tenderness in his eyes.Yet I experienced a sense of familiarity so profound it momentarily stole my breath. My wolf recognized his scent at the deepest level—not as a new acquaintance but as pack, as safety, as home."Dominic, I'm truly sorry," I apologized sincerely, the formal name still feeling strange on my tongue when my memories called him Dom.He captured my gaze, his amber eyes reflecting the evening light. "You still call me Dominic? Aren't we mated today?""What should you call me now?"My face flushed instantly, my wolf sensing the subtle shift in his scent—a deepening musk that signaled interest beyond mere conversation. He embraced me and laughed, merciful enough to stop his teasing.Living with Dominic brought me a happiness I had forgotten could exist. He never manipulated my emotions or made me constantly weigh my worth. I realized that healthy pack bonds should feel this way—secure

I stared at Diana's falsified medical records, but realized the truth no longer affected me. Whether Diana had genuine moon-sickness or had feigned it for attention made little difference to my new life.I was gathering the last of my belongings when Derek appeared in the doorway of my old den, his posture uncharacteristically submissive.He remained silent for several moments, his normal confidence absent."Luna, I'm truly sorry..." he finally said, his voice barely above a whisper."I believed Diana needed more protection than you. Her apparent vulnerability triggered my guardian instincts.""I never anticipated causing you such pain."He hung his head like a pup caught stealing from the pack's winter stores.My memories flashed to my childhood—when I first returned to my father's territory, terrified of the dark and unfamiliar sounds. Derek had placed a silver dagger beside my sleeping furs each night.He would keep watch until I fell asleep, my protector against imagined dangers."

As my pregnancy progressed, my connection to Dominic deepened beyond the formal mating bond. Their wolves communicated even in human form, a rare phenomenon indicating true compatibility. The Blackthorn pack accepted me completely, many noting that I brought out a gentler side of their normally reserved alpha.Five moons into my pregnancy, under the light of a hunter's moon, I felt the first stirrings of premature labor."Something's wrong," I whispered to Dominic, panic edging my voice as unfamiliar sensations rippled through my abdomen.His normally calm demeanor instantly shifted to controlled urgency. Without hesitation, he lifted me into his arms and raced toward the pack healer's den, his powerful legs covering ground faster than any wolf in their territory."Pack healer!" he roared, the alpha command in his voice sending nearby pack members scrambling to assist.The elderly healer examined me with careful hands, my face growing increasingly concerned."The pups are restless," I

Chapter 10

Two full moons later, under the powerful light of the Alpha Moon—the largest full moon of the year—I gave birth to twins: a boy and a girl. The birth was remarkably smooth after the earlier complications, as if the pups had merely been waiting for the proper celestial alignment to make their entrance into the pack."They're perfect," Dominic whispered, awestruck as he cradled his newborn daughter while I nursed our son. The tiny female already showed signs of my mother's silver fur markings, while the male bore his father's distinctive black crescent mark on his forehead."Lycus and Selene," Luna murmured, the names they had chosen from ancient pack lore. Lycus—meaning "of the wolf"—and Selene—named for the moon goddess.The Blackthorn pack celebrated the birth with a traditional howling ceremony, their unified voices carrying the news to neighboring territories. Even my grandmother had been transported to witness the naming ceremony, her frail form energized by the sight of her great-
