The Banquet

The ballroom glittered like a dream Aria could never touch.Golden chandeliers bathed the room in soft, honeyed light. Silk drapes framed arched windows that overlooked the midnight forest. Long tables, adorned with snow-white linens and polished silver, were filled with food no omega servant could ever dream of tasting. Nobles in deep jewel tones and sharp-cut suits swept across the marble floor, laughter curling through the air like music.And at the center of it all, he stood.Alpha King Lucien Thorne.Every story Aria had ever heard about him paled in comparison to the real thing. He was tall—easily over six feet—with a broad, commanding frame clad in sleek black tailored to his warrior’s build. His dark hair was swept back, a single rogue strand falling across his brow. A scar kissed the corner of one sharp cheekbone, only making his beauty more dangerous.She had no right to look at him.Aria crouched low behind a thick velvet curtain just beyond the archway, her heart rattling

The Bond

Lucien’s heart stopped.The words Duke Valemont had been droning on about trade alliances and border expansions felt like a distant echo now. A ringing silence filled his ears, broken only by a strange, intoxicating scent that slammed into him like a physical blow.Mate.The word came as a jolt of electric heat. His wolf, always controlled, snapped to attention in the space of a breath. It was like his very soul knew—knew it was her. She was close. So close, and yet, Lucien couldn’t find her.His grip on his goblet tightened, the wine sloshing out and staining his fingers, but he didn’t care. He didn’t care about the broken glass or the startled looks of the guests. All that mattered now was that scent, cutting through the heavy colognes of the nobles, the perfume that clung to the air like fresh spring rain.He could feel it. A pull. A bond.His eyes shot to the crowd, scanning. His heartbeat thundered in his ears, drowning out the noise of the banquet. There were faces, too many of

A Touch Of Fire

The moonlight poured in through the narrow windows of the scullery, casting soft silver beams on the stacks of crates and barrels that filled the room. It was quiet. Too quiet. The noise of the banquet seemed so far away now, a distant hum beneath the walls of the servants' quarters. But that was the last thing on Aria’s mind.Her chest was tight. Her breathing, shallow.Lucien.She could still feel him. His presence. His power.Her hand was pressed against her mouth to stifle the wild breaths that threatened to escape her. Her heart hammered in her ribcage, too fast, too loud. Her wolf was thrashing inside her chest, aching, clawing for release, for something—anything to make the bond feel less suffocating. But there was nothing. Only the overwhelming pull toward him.Aria squeezed her eyes shut, praying it was all a dream. That maybe, if she just wished hard enough, the bond would disappear. That she would wake up from this nightmare where she was bound to someone who would never ac

Chained By Duty

The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm orange glow over the grand castle grounds. Lucien stood in the heart of the royal garden, his hand resting lightly on the stone railing of the balcony that overlooked the vast expanse of carefully manicured lawns below. The serene beauty of the garden did nothing to calm the turmoil boiling in his chest.He should be content. He should be at peace, fulfilling the duties of his title, serving the pack, ensuring the future of his people. Yet, the weight of his responsibilities felt like a suffocating burden as he gazed across the horizon. He couldn’t shake the memory of Aria’s terrified face, her eyes wide with disbelief, her body trembling under the weight of the bond that had snapped into place between them.Mate.He cursed silently, his fingers tightening on the stone. The bond was there, thrumming beneath his skin, like a constant reminder of everything he couldn’t have. He had a duty. His pack needed him. His people depended on him to lea

Servant In The Shadow

The castle was a labyrinth, a maze of stone and corridors, its grandeur both a blessing and a curse. Aria had been working here for nearly two years, sweeping the endless halls, tending to the needs of the royal family, and performing tasks far below the dignity of anyone with any real standing. But she didn’t mind. Or at least, she tried not to.She’d always been a servant in one form or another—before the castle, she worked for a small family in the outskirts of the kingdom. It was a life she’d come to know well. Still, the castle was different. It was bigger, more powerful, more dangerous. And it had the Alpha King himself roaming its halls.Lucien. Alpha King Lucien.Aria’s heart fluttered painfully in her chest as she moved swiftly down the hallway, clutching a tray of silver dishes, trying not to make a sound. She was so used to the hustle and bustle of palace life, yet today was different. The day after the grand engagement ball, the echoes of that night still rang through her

The Weight of the Moon

The night felt colder than usual, as if the weight of everything pressing on her was making the air itself turn to ice. Aria could barely breathe as she made her way down the corridors of the castle, her thoughts a tangled mess of confusion and fear. What had just happened? What had Lucien meant when he said she didn’t belong in the shadows anymore?Her heart raced in her chest, echoing in her ears, but the fear was a familiar companion, the same fear she’d lived with all her life. She was just a servant, a quiet, invisible figure who went unnoticed by most. But now, after that encounter, everything had changed. Her life had shifted in a single, heart-stopping moment.The Alpha King.Lucien.His eyes, amber and piercing, haunted her. She couldn’t escape the memory of them, the way they had locked onto hers, the way the world had spun on its axis when they’d made contact. Her body trembled as she walked faster, desperate to get away from the uncertainty that clung to her like a second

Fractured Paths

The days that followed were a blur of shadows, whispers, and the unbearable tension that gnawed at Aria’s heart. The bond between her and Lucien pulled at her constantly, like an invisible thread tying her to him, even though she had no right to be near him. She spent her days hiding, keeping her head down, her thoughts a whirlwind of confusion. But no matter how hard she tried to ignore it, the pull of the bond was relentless.Every time she saw him in passing, she could feel the electricity in the air—the crackle of recognition that passed between them, the way his gaze would flicker toward her, only for a brief moment, but it was enough. That brief contact was enough to set her heart racing and her mind spiraling.It had been a week since that night—the night he had spoken to her in the hall, the night the bond had snapped into place. Since then, Lucien had been colder, more distant, but his eyes still held the fire of recognition whenever he caught sight of her. Aria could hardly

A Dangerous Game

The moon hung high in the sky, casting a pale glow over the castle as Aria walked down the narrow corridor. The air felt heavy, laden with the unspoken tension that had been building ever since the night she had seen Lucien’s eyes. His gaze lingered on her, haunted her, and yet, she couldn’t bring herself to face him. She couldn’t risk it.She had been avoiding him as much as possible, keeping to the farthest corners of the castle, working in the kitchens or cleaning rooms no one ever used, just to stay out of his reach. But no matter how hard she tried, she could still feel his presence. His scent lingered in the hallways, in the rooms, on the soft breeze that whispered through the windows. It was as if he were always there, just out of reach, waiting for her to break.Tonight, though, was different.Tonight, she was assigned to serve at the banquet. The banquet in honor of the Alpha King and his engagement to Princess Celine.Aria’s stomach twisted in knots as she made her way to th

The Broken Mask

The grand hall had never felt as suffocating as it did tonight. Aria tried to keep her head down as she moved between the long banquet tables, carrying trays of food and drinks to the guests, but the weight of Lucien’s gaze was never far behind. It was as though the whole room had become a prison, its walls closing in around her with every passing second.She had hoped that the night would pass like any other, that she could fade into the background and escape the bond that seemed to pull her toward him. But the reality was far from what she wished. The moment Lucien’s eyes had met hers earlier, something had snapped inside her. The aching pull of the bond had grown stronger, tugging at her heart, and now she couldn’t escape it no matter how hard she tried.His scent was everywhere. Pine and smoke, crisp and raw, marking the very air she breathed. Every step she took seemed to lead her closer to him, even though she didn’t want to go. Even though she knew she shouldn’t.She had heard

A Wolf In Chains

The days that followed were a blur of aching silence and stolen glances.Aria kept her head low, her steps quiet, her presence nearly invisible. She knew how to blend into the stone walls of the Alpha Palace. Years of servitude had taught her how to avoid being seen, how to survive in the shadows. But now, no matter how much she tried to hide, her body betrayed her. Every room Lucien entered, her skin prickled. Every time he walked past, her wolf whimpered.The bond had taken root—and it was growing deeper, sharper, and more painful by the hour.She hadn't slept properly since that night. Not since he'd spoken to her, touched her, looked at her like she mattered. She hated herself for remembering the heat of his hand on her chin, the way his voice dipped into that low timbre that set her blood on fire.But he belonged to someone else.Princess Celine’s laughter echoed in every corridor. Her presence wrapped around the palace like silk—delicate but impossible to escape. The princess wa
