Chapter 1

I was Alpha Adrian's secret for eight years.It wasn't until I walked in on him kissing his first love that I learned the mating mark he gave me was a fake.I touched the back of my neck in disbelief."Eight years! You lied to me for eight whole years?!"Everyone’s eyes were on me, but I could only see Adrian's expressionless face.The face I had kissed countless times, the one I thought I would spend my life with."What is this, then?" I ripped my collar open, revealing the delicate, crescent-shaped bite mark. "What the hell is this?""Don't cause a scene, Elena," Adrian's voice was terrifyingly calm.Causing a scene?A disbelieving gasp escaped me, and I staggered back.For eight years, I had suppressed my own Royal Alpha blood, turned down a career I dreamed of, and cut myself off from my friends, all because he kept insisting, "The time isn't right.""I'm causing a scene?" My voice trembled. "You're the one who made a fool of me!"I walked toward him, needing an explanation, needin

"Elena."Victoria’s voice was like ice, each syllable laced with the authority of her rank.Adrian’s mother, the former Luna of the Blackwood pack, stood elegantly behind me.She walked toward the broken medal, her gaze filled with disgust."You shouldn't have brought this mutt to defile our sacred gathering." With a disdainful kick, she sent the broken medal flying toward a trash can in the corner of the garden. "We don't welcome things of inferior blood here.""No!" Gale let out a heart-wrenching scream. He stumbled toward the trash can, his small hands digging frantically through the filth. "That's mine… I trained for three months for that…" His voice was choked with sobs, tears streaming down his face. I saw the bandage on his arm begin to soak with fresh blood.For that medal, he had trained late into the night, refusing to stop even when he was hurt.After every session, he would ask me, "Mommy, will Dad be proud of me?" And I always said, "Of course, baby. Dad will see how

Chapter 3

I shoved the two warriors aside with all my strength."Get out of my way!" Desperation gave me a power I never knew I had.I scooped Gale up and ran for the main gate like a madwoman.He felt lighter in my arms, his breathing growing fainter.A horrifying trail of crimson marked my path on the ground."Hang on, baby. Mommy's taking you to a doctor."I reached the parking lot, fumbling to open the car door.I jammed the key in the ignition and twisted.Nothing."No, no, no…" I twisted the key again and again.The engine just made a choked, clicking sound before falling silent.Someone had tampered with my car.An image of Sophia’s triumphant face flashed in my mind."That bitch!" I cursed, picking Gale up and running back.I needed to borrow a car.I needed to beg someone for help.But as I reached the garden entrance, I saw a sight that shattered my heart.Adrian was kneeling before Sophia, gently wiping a tear from the corner of her eye."It's okay, don't be scared," his voice was sof

Chapter 4

I stood in the doorway, my eyes fixed on Sophia’s coat hanging from the staircase banister.Right where Gale used to love to slide down.Footsteps sounded from upstairs.Adrian descended the stairs gracefully, with a disheveled Sophia trailing behind him.When they saw me, Adrian's eyes narrowed slightly."Elena, you're back." His gaze swept over me. "Your scent… it's different." He studied me, a flicker of confusion in his eyes before they iced over once more. He straightened the cuffs of his shirt. "Never mind. It doesn't matter. There's something I need to tell you."I clutched the bundle in my arms tighter."Tomorrow afternoon at two is my official mating ceremony with Sophia," Adrian announced calmly. "The pack Elders will preside.""Mating ceremony?" my voice was a rasp."That's right," Sophia said, linking her arm through Adrian's, her face glowing with triumph. "We'll be formally bonded before the altar of the Moon Goddess. You're welcome to come. Though…" Her eyes landed

Chapter 5

Adrian's POV"What did you say?!" Adrian charged down from the altar like a madman, Tyler's words—Gale is really dead—the only thing echoing in his mind.Sophia, weighed down by her heavy Luna gown, screamed after him, "Adrian! The ceremony isn't over! Wait for me!"But he couldn't hear her.Tyler drove like a maniac through the night streets."Faster!" Adrian roared, his eyes red with a mixture of terror and disbelief.When they burst into the hospital, they were met not by the red light of an operating room, but by a deafening silence.Adrian grabbed a nurse on duty, his voice hoarse."A boy named Gale! He was brought in last night! Where is he?"The nurse, startled, checked her records and looked back at him with pity."That child… he was pronounced dead. Last night."Adrian felt the world spin.He leaned against the wall for support."The body… where is he? The morgue?""His mother completed the paperwork this morning and took him with her," the nurse said softly.Took him?Adrian'

Chapter 6

Elena's POVThe winds of the North were cold, but they couldn't blow away the scent of Gale's blood that clung to me.The helicopter landed on the helipad of the Astoria castle.I stepped out, holding Gale's cold body in my arms.My father, the King of the North, was waiting for me in the snow.His tall figure was like a silent, unmovable mountain.He saw me, and he saw Gale.He didn't ask a single question.He simply removed his own heavy, white wolf-pelt cloak and wrapped it tightly around both of us."You're home now," his voice was low and gravelly.I didn't respond.Clutching Gale, I walked straight through the grand hall and toward the deepest part of the castle: the ice vault.It was freezing here, a place where the royal family stored its most precious magical ingredients.I gently laid Gale on a platform of frosted crystal.He lay there peacefully, like a snow sprite who would never wake up."Elena," my father said, following me in. "He needs to be laid to rest.""No," my voic

Chapter 7

Elena's POV"Mr. Whitehawk has arrived."I turned.A tall man walked into the drawing-room.Marcus Whitehawk.CEO of the largest corporation in the North, and Alpha of the Whitehawk Pack.He had deep blue eyes, silver-white hair, and a powerful Alpha presence that filled the room.We had been classmates at the academy, and his pack had always been the most loyal ally of the Astoria Royal Family."Elena," he said my name softly. "I'm so sorry to hear about Gale.""Thank you for coming," my voice was steady. "I have a proposal.""I'm listening.""Help me destroy the Blackwood pack," I said, turning to face him fully. "In exchange, I will agree to be your mate."Marcus was silent for a few seconds."Elena, I need to be sure," he said, his gaze serious. "I won't have you bound to me by vengeance.""This isn't just vengeance," I cut him off. "This is justice. Adrian Blackwood used blood magic to deceive a royal bloodline for eight years. That is a blasphemy against the Moon Goddess. The Bla

Chapter 8

Elena's POVThe Royal Crypt of the North.Snowflakes drifted gently onto the black marble tombstones.I stood in a black mourning dress, silent before a small, newly-dug grave.The headstone was engraved:GALE ASTORIA-WHITEHAWK2015-2023BELOVED PRINCE OF THE NORTHFOREVER LOVED"Let's begin," I said to Marcus, who stood beside me.A priest in white robes began to chant the ancient rites."Oh, Moon Goddess, please accept this pure soul into your embrace..."I closed my eyes, feeling a strange peace in the wind and snow.Gale was finally receiving the honor and respect he deserved."Elena." A familiar voice called from a distance.I opened my eyes.Adrian was stumbling through the snow toward us, Tyler trailing behind him.He looked terrible.Unshaven, his eyes bloodshot, his black coat hopelessly wrinkled."Elena, please, let me see him one last time." He fell to his knees outside the iron gates of the crypt.The royal guards immediately aimed their weapons at him."Let him in," I said

Chapter 9

Adrian's POVThree months later, at Blackwood Manor."Sign here." The bank representative pushed the bankruptcy papers in front of Victoria.The once-glorious manor was now deserted, foreclosure notices plastered everywhere."Impossible…" Victoria trembled as she looked at the documents. "This is our ancestral home, passed down for three hundred years…""My apologies, madam," the representative said coldly. "Debts must be paid."Adrian sat in a corner, feeling like his soul had been ripped out.For three months, he had watched his pack's empire crumble piece by piece.Stock value at zero, factories seized, employees all laid off.The nobles who once fawned over them now avoided them like the plague."This is all your fault!" Victoria suddenly exploded, lunging at Adrian. "It's all because of you, you fool!" She pointed a shaking finger at her son. "I warned you to stay away from Elena! But you threw away the entire pack for that woman!"Adrian stared blankly at his mother."Mom…""Don'

Chapter 10

Adrian's POV"You killed Gale!" Adrian was completely feral, his wolf roaring. "You destroyed us all!" His claws ripped open her throat.The smell of blood filled the room."Adrian… stop…" Seeing her son covered in blood, Victoria snapped back to reality."What… what have I done…" Adrian blinked, staring at his blood-soaked hands."It's over… it's all over…" Victoria's face was pale. "Adrian, Sophia is the heir to the Wellington pack! They will never let this go!""Mom…""This is not the time to talk!" Victoria turned to Tyler. "Quick! Get the car ready! We have to leave, now!"Tyler sprang into action."Right away!"Victoria grabbed Adrian's shoulders, her hands trembling."Adrian, we've already lost everything, we can't lose you too! The Wellingtons will be here any minute, we have to run!"Just then, the sound of car engines and running feet came from outside."Damn it!" Tyler looked out the window. "It's the Enforcers! Someone must have reported it!"The main door was kicked open.
