第1章

After my Alpha Kael died fighting those rogues, old Alpha Marcus was terrified I'd take Finn, their only Alpha heir, and leave the Stone Creek Pack, or worse, get marked by another Alpha.I turned down every match my mother tried to make, warned off any male who got too close, and kept reassuring Marcus and his mate that Kael's bloodline would stay pure.I was going to honor my Mate Bond with Kael, always.Five years. Five years without Kael's warm hugs, without his deep voice whispering in my ear. I gritted my teeth through so many cold nights.Finn was my only comfort.But then, at the Blood Moon ceremony marking five years since Kael's “sacrifice,” I overheard Marcus roaring at “Ronan”:“Kael! You selfish, blind fool of a wolf! How much longer are you going to keep up this charade?!”He called him Kael?! My blood ran cold.A calm, familiar voice came from inside the den – Ronan, Kael's twin brother.“Father, you know I had no choice.”“Kael! Ronan was the one cursed by the Moon Godd

Back in our shabby den, Finn woke up when I came in. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and sniffed the air around me.My heart shattered looking at his golden wolf eyes and strong jaw, so much like Kael's.How could Kael, his Alpha father, bear to let his own cub grow up fatherless, to be teased by other pups?Sensing my overwhelming grief, Finn nuzzled my neck with his furry little head.“Momma, did you find out about Alpha Kael?”It hit me. After Kael showed up as “Ronan,” Finn would always slip up and call him “Daddy.”I'd always scold him, tell him that was Uncle Ronan, not his father Kael.I just thought my little cub missed his dead father terribly. I never realized a child's eyes see the clearest!He'd always known his real father, drawn by their blood connection. He just didn't understand why, overnight, the Alpha father who used to toss him in the air and rub his stubbly chin against his cheek had become so cold, even pushing him away.No wonder “Ronan's” care for us always felt… meas

The next morning, the Stone Creek Pack felt grim after the Blood Moon ceremony.I took Finn to the communal eating area.Kael was right there, tenderly tearing off a juicy piece of deer leg for Alina, then gently stroking the little female cub by her side, who was about Finn's age.The sight stung my eyes.Before I knew the truth, I'd imagined countless times how Kael and I would be just like that if he were alive.Alina snuggled against him, basking in her Alpha's protection, while I could only watch from afar.My wolf instincts were churning because of last night's revelation, but I forced them down. There was no one left to lick my wounds or soothe my anger.Kael's eyes flickered to my pale face. He put down the meat he was holding, tore off a smaller but still good piece, and offered it to Finn and me.“Elara, you should eat more too. Finn's a growing boy.”His tone was still distant, as if the “dead” Kael had nothing to do with him. He was just a responsible uncle.“Uncle Ronan, I

After sending word to the Silver-Moon Pack, I knew there was one crucial, incredibly painful ritual I had to perform before I could officially accept Alpha Lucian's courtship gift and start a new life with them.I had to completely break the Mate Bond with Kael – the bond he'd betrayed and stained.In ancient wolf lore, once a Mate Bond was forged, it was like a brand on your soul.It was almost impossible to break unless one mate died, or there was an ultimate betrayal.And breaking it meant going to Moon-shadow Falls, a sacred place passed down through generations, at the peak of the Blood Moon. You had to offer your own blood and your absolute will to the Moon Goddess, sacrificing the dead love and taking back the part of your soul the other mate held.The ritual was dangerous. One wrong move, and your soul could tear, leaving you seriously weakened, maybe even unable to ever bond again.I used to think our bond stayed strong because I loved Kael so much.I never imagined it was bec

“Elara! Stop!”Kael's roar tore through the night. His eyes, bloodshot, locked on me as he charged like a wounded beast.That Alpha power, Kael's power, which I hadn't felt for five years, suddenly exploded.The air grew heavy. Finn let out a terrified whimper.Alina clapped a hand over her mouth in horror, Susan crying in her arms.“You have no right to order me!” I raised the Soul-Severing Blade, my voice like ice, the Blood Moon's light glinting on its edge.“My bond with Kael is over. It has nothing to do with you, Ronan.”“Our bond!” Kael roared, trying to snatch the dagger. “You can't!”His fingers almost brushed my wrist.I spun back, claws shooting out, and raked them across his arm.“Kael betrayed it first!” Each word was a shard of ice. “He died in battle, abandoning me and Finn! I have the right to find a new mate, to break my ties with him.”Kael couldn't dodge in time. Beads of blood welled up on his arm. He froze, staring at the unfamiliar, fierce determination in my eyes

Pretty soon, Finn and I were on our way to the Silver Moon Pack's territory, a place called Moon-crest Peak.I was brought to Alpha Lucian's den.Lucian's tall frame appeared at the cave entrance. The second his golden eyes landed on my pale face and how weak I looked, they softened. He rushed over, all worried."Elara!" he said, striding forward and carefully taking Finn from my arms.His warm, dry hand gently brushed my forehead. A strong wave of Alpha energy flowed into me, soothing the wounds in my soul."You're hurt," he said, his voice low, like he was trying to keep his anger bottled up.Leon quickly told him everything that happened at Moon-shadow Falls.Lucian listened, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes."Ronan..." He said the name, his voice like ice.Over the next few days, Lucian took amazing care of me, and slowly, my body and spirit started to heal.Finn settled into life with the Silver Moon Pack quickly too. The light was back in his eyes.The night the blood moon wa

It was late, and the guests had all gone.Lucian took my hand, and we went back to our new den at the top of Moon Goddess Peak.The den was big and warm, lined with the softest snow-fox furs. Moonlight spilled in through the entrance, bathing everything in a silver glow."Elara," Lucian said, hugging me from behind. "You've been through a lot."I shook my head and leaned against his strong chest. "No, Lucian. As long as I have you, I'm fine.""Kael... he won't get another chance to hurt you," Lucian promised, his chin resting on top of my head.I turned to face him, and I couldn't help but ask what was on my mind. "Lucian, why... why me?"When I decided to mate with Lucian, I'd wondered about his real reasons.He was such a powerful Alpha, the brightest star in the North.He could have had anyone, but he chose to spend his life with me – a widowed she-wolf with a child.Lucian chuckled softly. His fingers gently brushed my cheek as he looked at me with so much love."Many years ago, at

After the mating ceremony, Kael was like a zombie, totally on the verge of a breakdown.He went back to the Stone Creek Pack and locked himself in Ronan's den.The image of Elara and Lucian together, and Finn – who used to be so sweet to him – looking at him with such hate, played over and over in his head like a nightmare.He finally got it. He hadn't just lost a mate and a son.He'd lost the most important part of his soul. Regret gnawed at him day and night, like a viper.He started obsessively replaying the past.Elara's smile, her gentleness, how she trusted him completely.Finn's baby babble, his tiny paws clutching his fur.When he decided to live as Ronan, all he could think about was Alina. But why, now, did thinking about how happy he used to be make him regret everything so much?"Why… why did I do that back then…?" he muttered to the cold stone walls.Alina realized the man had gone mad.She looked at Kael, who was a gaunt wreck, and felt no pity, only cold calculation."Ka

My life in the Silver Moon Pack was peaceful and happy.Lucian was the perfect mate, a strong Alpha. He respected me, cherished me, and gave me plenty of space and power.The herb garden I managed was thriving, and the new silverleaf plants we grew had the best healing properties.Finn was growing up fast under Lucian's guidance. He was honest, brave, and his eyes shone with excitement for the future.He completely fit in with the Silver Moon Pack and saw Lucian as his only father.But the peaceful days didn't last.The Silver Moon Pack's border patrols started running into small provocations and attacks more and more often.The strong Silver Moon warriors handled them easily, but these incidents kept happening more frequently.Lucian started to frown a lot.He knew some power he didn't know about was behind these unusual events, but he wasn't sure who.One day, Finn went out on a border patrol mission with my cousin, Leon.They were ambushed by a small group of well-equipped rogue wol

Kael kept trying to make it up to Finn, even though Finn wanted nothing to do with him. It was pointless.In fact, the pain of being rejected just made him more obsessed.Lucian beefed up security, but he couldn't keep Finn locked away in a safe bubble forever.Wolf pups need to experience things to grow.That day, I was out with a few she-wolves near the border, gathering some rare moon petal flowers in the herb garden.Finn and some other Silver Moon pups his age were playing nearby, with two wolf guards watching over them.Suddenly, a thick black fog, reeking of dark magic, rolled out from the dense woods."Ambush!" I yelled.The guards quickly surrounded us, but the fog spread too fast. We could barely see a thing.In the chaos, I heard Finn cry out."Mom!" My heart jumped. I didn't think, I just ran towards his voice.Several dark figures flashed through the fog – and they were coming for me!Their attacks were fast and strange. They were clearly Kael's outlaws, the ones who'd mes
