Chapter one

“We are so sorry Luna Aurora but you lost the baby.”The words of the midwives who had promised Aurora a safe delivery before her labor started, replayed in her head over and over again.For three years she couldn't conceive. For three years she watched her husband's mother's love for her fade away because in her words, she had started showing signs of ‘infertility’.And now that she had finally being able to conceive, this what she got? A dead child minutes after slipping into unconsciousness because of the labour pains she had to go through?As she made her way out of the herb room the midwives had her in, she walked briskly through the hallway.Every step seemed further away and heavier than the last. Her silent tears kept rolling as her trembling hands clutched the fabric of her dress.Staying in the herbroom felt suffocating, Aurora could swear it almost seemed like she was going to go along with the baby the longer she stayed there.She craved familiarity. She needed the warmth

Chapter Two

The tears that blurred Aurora's eyes spilled down her cheeks in rivulets as she stared at the man she had given years of her life to. Her limbs shook with the weight of the betrayal as she cried. "T-The woman you love so dearly?" She repeated Silas' words, still in disbelief. "I am your wife! How could you do something s-so despicable, Silas?! After everything we–"Aurora never got a chance to finish because Silas let out an irritated growl and jumped off the bed. Aurora's heart squeezed painfully as she averted her eyes, as as not to see her husband pull out from Amelia. The other woman pouted at this and glared reproachfully at Aurora. "This is why you can never be my Luna! You are so weak!" Silas yelled, grabbing Aurora's hand. Her eyes widened as she realized what was happening. "Silas, no, what are you doing?!"There was not an atom of remorse in his dark eyes. "Something I should have done a long time ago."Before Aurora could stop him, he had intertwined their fingers painf

Chapter Three

Aurora froze at the sudden twist of fate. She swallowed as she weighed Silas' words. She didn't know whether it was better to stay or go out there where she wasn't going to survive. Staying here would mean being subjected to the pain of watching Amelia and Silas build their lives together.A life that was once hers.After a little thought, she finally gave in and let them drag her wherever, at least her survival is sure here. She may have been stripped of her title and her freedom, but she refused to let them take away her spirit. She would survive, no matter the cost, and one day, she would emerge stronger than ever before.As she was being dragged away she could hear Amelia's nagging voice, asking Silas why he asked to be retained.Just as she was about to settle into her new reality, Aurora's thoughts were interrupted by the arrival of the Duenna. She was thankful she had always treated her with kindness, she expected a little compassion but it quickly evaporated as she was met wit

Chapter Four

Amelia landed slap after slap on Aurora's cheeks until blood spilled out of her lips. All of her attempts to fight back proved futile, especially when Luna Amara walked in to see the display. Without even asking what happened, the Luna landed a sharp blow to Aurora's temples. "You need to learn your place, you fool! Just because we let you stay here, you think you have a right to even lay a finger on your new Luna? I will teach you a lesson! Guards!"Immediately, two guards appeared. "Take this trash to the dungeon," Luna Amara hissed. The guards dragged Aurora out roughly as she yelled to no avail. Soon they reached the underground outlet of the pack kept for prisoners.Aurora’s butt fell hard on the brick floor as she was thrown into the dungeon. She winced, writhing in pain and Luna Amara and Amelia glared at her in satisfaction. A tear slid down her cheek as she wondered why nothing was going her way recently? Was she cursed or something? She did not understand why she had to g

Chapter 5

Aurora worriedly looked over at Arthur as he walked away. She needed to alert him about Silas' plans? But how? She couldn't approach him openly, not under the scrutinizing gaze of the Duenna and other nobles.Her mind raced, seeking a solution. She had to find a way to speak with him privately before it was too late. So as not to attract Duenna's attention, she continued to serve the other tables, her eyes fixed on Arthur and Silas the whole time. If she was going to give Alpha Arthur a hint, it had to be in private. But things were looking very bleak at the moment. As luck would have it, Arthur stood up and headed outside with his Beta. Aurora immediately feigned illness. With a hand on her forehead and a fake stumble, she easily persuaded the already busy staff to grant her a brief break.After successfully escaping the watchful eyes of the Duenna, Aurora went through a secluded passage she had found while she was still an honored member of the pack. It was a narrow, dusty corri

Chapter 6

"What!" Aurora's voice came out sharp and high. Her heart jumped in her chest like a scared rabbit. The word hung in the air between them, heavy and full of fear. She could feel her hands shake at her sides.Arthur looked at her with calm eyes. His face was soft, not angry like she thought it would be. "I saw you try to follow me," he said. His voice was low and steady. "You wanted to talk to me alone. But Silas's mother was watching you too close."Aurora felt her cheeks burn red. Had she been that easy to see? Her stomach twisted with shame. She had thought she was being smart, but Arthur had seen right through her. "I... I..." she started, but the words would not come."You are in great danger," she finally said. The words rushed out of her mouth like water from a broken dam. "Silas wants to kill you. He wants to kill all your men. This whole party... it is a trap." Her voice got smaller with each word. She felt like a mouse telling a cat about the other cats.Arthur's dark eyes di

Chapter 7

Arthur had lived his whole life with a heavy weight in his chest. The weight of being alone. The weight of knowing he would always be alone. The prophecy had told him so when he was just a boy. Words that cut deep into his heart and never healed.*You will never find your true mate,* the old seer had said. Her eyes were white and strange when she spoke. *But if you do find her, she will be both blessing and curse. She will make you strong beyond measure. And she will bring doom to all you hold dear.*For years, Arthur had believed those words. He had watched other wolves find their mates. He had seen the joy in their eyes, the completeness they felt. And he had felt nothing but emptiness where his heart should be full.But now, standing in this doorway, breathing in Aurora's sweet scent, everything was different. His wolf was awake inside him like never before. Every part of him wanted to protect her, to claim her, to never let her go.Arthur looked at Duenna with innocent eyes. He pu

Chapter 8

Aurora's heart beat like a drum in her chest. The sound of Arthur and Silas fighting filled the air. She could hear their growls and the crash of bodies hitting stone walls. She wanted to help Arthur, but she knew she would only get in the way. Her legs felt weak and shaky. She looked around the empty hall for a place to hide. Behind a big stone pillar, she found a spot where she could watch but not be seen. She pressed her back against the cold stone and tried to make herself small. Through the doorway, she could see the two men fighting like wild animals. Arthur's wolf was huge and black. His green eyes glowed in the dark. Silas had changed too. His brown wolf was smaller but fast and mean. They bit and clawed at each other. Blood was everywhere. Aurora watched with wide eyes. Sometimes Arthur seemed to be winning. Sometimes Silas got the upper hand. They were both so strong. Both so angry. She could not tell who would win. Her hands pressed against the stone pillar. The cold

Chapter 9

Arthur's eyes opened slow. The world around him was fuzzy and strange. His head felt heavy like someone had filled it with rocks. The light from above hurt his eyes and made him want to close them again.Faces looked down at him. Worried faces. Men from his pack. Arthur tried to sit up but his body felt weak and tired. His arms shook when he pushed against the bed."Alpha," said one of his men. His voice was soft and careful. "You are awake. We were worried."Arthur blinked hard. His thoughts were like thick mud. Everything was slow and confusing. "Where am I?" he asked. His voice came out rough and broken."You are at our base," another man said. "We brought you home after the fight."Arthur tried to remember. Images came back piece by piece. The ceremony. The attack. Silas. The fight. Then nothing but darkness."What happened to me?" Arthur asked. He touched his head where it hurt the most. There was a bump there, big and tender."You passed out," the first man said. He looked sad a

Chapter 10

Arthur's boots made soft sounds on the forest floor. Each step felt heavy with worry and hope mixed together. Beside him, Finn walked quiet, his eyes moving left and right as they searched.The morning air was cold against Arthur's face. It helped him think more clear. But his heart still felt like it was being squeezed by a giant hand. Aurora was out there somewhere. Maybe hurt. Maybe scared. Maybe worse."Alpha," Finn said after they had walked for a long time. "What exactly are we looking for?"Arthur did not stop walking. His eyes kept searching the ground, the trees, everything around them. "Trails," he said. "Clues. Anything that can tell us where Aurora went."Finn's face showed surprise. "Aurora? The maid from the ceremony?"Arthur felt his jaw get tight. "She is not just a maid," he said. His voice was hard like stone. "She saved my life. And now she is missing because of it."Finn did not ask more questions. But Arthur could see the worry in his beta's eyes. Finn had never s
