Prologue

Six years earlier I didn’t grow up gentle. I didn’t grow up soft. I grew up learning that the world would hit me first if I didn’t hit back harder. So I became the kind of person people whispered about. The kind they avoided. The kind they blamed for everything. Reckless. Hostile. Impossible. They said I was acting out for attention. They said I was dramatic, rebellious, unstable. They said I was trying to make a scene. They had no idea. I wasn’t rebelling. I was surviving. Every fight I picked, every night I drowned myself in alcohol or whatever else I could get my hands on, every stupid, dangerous decision—I did it because it was easier than feeling anything. Easier than remembering. Easier than letting the past sink its claws into me again. People love to preach forgiveness. They love to say things like “let it go” or “move on.” They say it like healing is a choice you can make in a single breath. Like the scars on my skin and the ones carved deeper inside me ca

Chapter One

Chapter One Six years later It has been six years since I walked away from everything I knew. Six years since I stopped being the Alpha’s daughter and became something else entirely — a rogue drifting from city to city, never staying long enough to be noticed, never trusting the shadows behind me. I avoid the woods. I avoid packs. I avoid anything that might recognize what I am. What I was. When I left at seventeen, I told myself things would get better. That distance would heal me. That freedom would fix me. I thought I’d outrun the addiction that had already sunk its claws into me. I thought turning eighteen and gaining my wolf would give me strength, clarity, purpose. But trauma doesn’t disappear just because you cross a border. Pain doesn’t dissolve just because you shift for the first time. And addiction… addiction doesn’t care how old you are or what bloodline you come from. Now, almost twenty‑three, I’m still fighting the same demons I carried out of my pack. Some day

Chapter Two

Chapter Two Waking up feels like dragging myself out of a grave I dug the night before. My head throbs, my stomach twists, and every muscle in my body trembles with the familiar ache of withdrawal. The cold tile beneath my cheek tells me exactly where I am before I even open my eyes. Oakley’s bathroom floor. Again. The light above me flickers, too bright, too sharp, stabbing into my skull. I groan and curl in on myself, trying to breathe through the waves of nausea rolling through me. My wolf, Samarah, whimpers somewhere deep inside, her presence dimmed by everything I’ve put us through. This is the part no one sees. The part no one wants to see. I force myself upright just in time for another round of dry heaving. My body shakes violently, my throat burns, and my eyes water. I brace myself against the toilet, waiting for the worst of it to pass. It doesn’t. It never does. I’ve been staying with Oakley for months now. He hates the situation—hates the reminders of his

Chapter Three

Chapter three Being the Alpha of several packs was never supposed to be my life. Not even close. If you’d asked me at eighteen what my future looked like, I would’ve told you I wanted a degree in substance‑abuse counseling. I wanted to help wolves who struggled the way so many do—quietly, secretly, ashamed. I wanted a normal life, a quiet life, one where I wasn’t responsible for hundreds of people or the safety of entire territories. But fate doesn’t care about plans. Everything changed the night the rogues came. They tore through our lands like wildfire, hitting three neighboring packs in a coordinated attack none of us saw coming. By dawn, the Alpha of the Silvercrest Pack was dead. By noon, the Alpha of the Moonridge Pack had fallen. And by nightfall, my own father—Alpha of the Fenley Pack—took his last breath in my arms. Three packs. Three territories. Three leaders gone. And one twenty‑year‑old suddenly expected to step up. The elders merged the packs for survival.

Chapter Four

Chapter Four When the receptionist finally called my name and told me Dr. Colton Fenley was ready to see me, something inside me shifted. For the first time in a long time, I felt a flicker of hope — small, fragile, but real. Maybe this was it. Maybe this was the moment I finally started getting my life together. Maybe this was the first step toward clawing my way out of the hole I’d been drowning in for years. I stood, legs trembling, and started up the stairs toward his office. That’s when Samarah began pacing inside me. My wolf rarely panicked. She was the calm one, the steady one, the part of me that kept me from completely falling apart. But now she was restless, anxious, her energy buzzing under my skin like static. Samarah, what’s wrong? I asked her through our link. She didn’t answer. She just kept pacing. I assumed it was nerves — fear of opening up, fear of facing my trauma, fear of being vulnerable with a stranger. I didn’t push her. I didn’t want to push my

Chapter Five

Chapter Five Four days. Four long, restless, agonizing days since I last saw her. Four days since she ran from my office like I was the very thing she feared most. Four days of my wolf pacing, snarling, clawing at the inside of my chest like he could break free and track her down himself. And still—nothing. No sightings. No scent trail. No hint of where she might be hiding. Lenox has been digging for information nonstop, but there’s almost nothing to find. Whoever Kieara is, she’s been living like a ghost. No employment records. No pack affiliation. No medical history. No address. The only thing we know is her last known location… which happens to be this city. But where in this city? Where has she been sleeping? Who has she been trusting? Those questions gnaw at me more than anything else. I have to trust that Lenox will find something—anything—that leads me to her. Until then, all I can do is wait. And pray to the Moon Goddess that she comes back on her own. Waiting

Chapter Six

Chapter Six Walking into Colton’s office today, I thought I was prepared. I’d spent four days sober — four days of shaking, sweating, pacing, and talking myself into coming back here. Four days of Samarah whispering that maybe, just maybe, facing my mate wouldn’t destroy me. But nothing — absolutely nothing — could have prepared me for the disaster waiting on the other side of that door. I expected awkwardness. I expected tension. I expected my wolf to act like she’d swallowed a live wire. I did not expect to walk straight into a full‑blown emotional explosion with Oakley and Colton practically ready to tear each other apart. One second I was trying to breathe through a panic attack, Oakley’s hands steady on my shoulders, whispering grounding words. The next second, Colton was on his feet, eyes glowing, jaw clenched, looking like he was one heartbeat away from ripping Oakley’s head off for touching me. My nerves were already shredded before I even stepped inside. Now they

Chapter Seven

When Colton went to stand, he was very obviously pissed about Oakley’s statement before thinking properly. I jumped up to shield Oakley from the very irate Alpha who was currently stalking towards us. The moment I stepped between them, the air shifted—Colton’s growl deepened, low and warning, but his steps faltered. His eyes snapped to mine, blazing with fury and something else I couldn’t name. For a heartbeat, the room held still, everyone waiting to see whether he would push past me… or pull himself back from the edge.Slowly—almost painfully—Colton’s shoulders dropped a fraction, the rigid line of his posture loosening as he forced a breath through his nose. The growl tapered off, leaving a heavy silence in its wake. His eyes stayed locked on mine, but the fire in them dimmed just enough to let reason slip back in. I didn’t move, not yet, afraid that any sudden shift might reignite the storm simmering beneath his skin. After a long moment, Colton took a single step back, jaw clench

Chapter Eight

The moment the words leave my mouth, the room shifts. Not physically—nothing so dramatic—but the energy changes. Calms. Settles. Like the air itself has been holding its breath and finally exhales.But it’s her reaction I’m watching.Kieara doesn’t flinch. Doesn’t look away. She just studies me, guarded but steady, as if she’s trying to decide whether I’m lying or if I actually mean what I said. And I do. More than she knows.The bond hums beneath my skin, quiet but present, a constant reminder of what she is to me. What she could be. What I want her to be. But wanting and taking are not the same thing—and for the first time in my life, I’m forcing myself to understand the difference.I lean back slowly, giving her the space she asked for, even though every instinct in me screams to close the distance again. To pull her closer. To reassure myself, she’s safe. That she’s here. That she’s mine.But she’s not. Not yet.And if I push her, I’ll lose her before I ever have the chance

Chapter Nine

For a long moment, I can’t speak. I don’t even know what I’m supposed to feel. Colton’s words hang in the air between us—steady, patient, nothing like the forceful Alpha who’s been looming over my life since the moment this bond snapped into place. And that almost makes it harder. I was prepared for anger. For pressure. For him to demand something from me I wasn’t ready to give. But this… this quiet sincerity? I don’t know what to do with it.I look at him—really look at him. The tension in his shoulders has eased, his posture open instead of imposing. He’s giving me space. Me. The girl he barely knows but is somehow tied to by something ancient and powerful and completely overwhelming. And for the first time, I see the weight he’s been carrying too. The restraint. The effort. The hope he’s trying so damn hard to hide.It does something strange to my chest.“I…” My voice catches, and I have to swallow before trying again. “I appreciate that. More than you probably realize.” The wor
