Chapter 1

A Life Full of ShadowsLena’s POV“Lena, get up!” A quick blast of cold water splashed in my face and I blinked and felt a shiver of the coldness going through my bones. My attention had caught who it was. I didn’t need to open my eyes to recognize that sharp voice. It was my mother. Again.I moaned, and intended to roll over, but the blanket had been torn already off of me. There was a cold breeze coming through the window in the kitchen and I cowered.“Up. Now. You mustn't make me say so again,” she snapped her steps screeching along the walk.This was my every morning. My name is Lena Maren Wilder, and I live in a house where I am invisible unless there’s work to be done.I wanted to sleep longer. Last night’s pack patrol had run until nearly 4 a.m., and I was still aching from the run through the mountain woods. But none of that mattered to my mom. She said it didn’t matter if I was a shifter or not, I was still a girl, and a girl should not sleep past eight. She said I’d brought

The Missing HalfLena’s POV“Oh, hi Kade,” I said, my voice soft, my cheeks warm.He smiled. “I think someone’s thoughts got too heavy, and that’s why you tripped.”His voice always sounded kind. His tone made people feel calm, safe. He used to be the most considerate boy anybody ever knew.I convinced myself that the reason was only him being polite and he treated everybody in that manner but my heart would not. It fluttered the way it always did when he smiled like that, so open and gentle.“Umm no…I am okay? I replied, not sure to what I was replying at all. I understood that I was daydreaming again and it occurred too frequently being around him.We’d known each other since we were little. In kindergarten, we were inseparable. But as we grew up, he drifted away, busy with leadership training and pack duties, while I stayed where I was waiting.And still, I remembered everything.“When we grow up, Lena, we’ll be Mates,” he’d said once while building a sandcastle with me during rece

Bruised, Not BrokenLena’s POV“Well,” someone said, in the hall, as though they had seen a ghost appear, "Look who has come.”I kept my eyes forward. I’d learned not to respond not because I was weak, but because it gave them power. My silence was my shield. I hurried on faster, clutching my bag almost against my side, wishing I could turn invisible.In these halls, every day was the same. It is the same-you know, the same whispers, the same laughter behind my back. I was sick of faking being okay though faking it just allowed them to treat it like they could keep doing as they wish. So it was easier to cry behind the hall.“Little Luna, why are you rushing away?" Rigg Torres came between me and put himself in front of me. His conceited face smiled in scornful exultation.“What is it you want?” I said flatly, not bothering to fake patience.I could not stand his antics. I was already late to attend the class and the last thing I wanted was to go through another waste of time meeting

The DareLena’s POVI did not know how to breathe for a moment.This was what Kade had said to me; and it rang in my ears like a bell in the empty house, “I love you.’ My heart didn’t know how to believe it. My body stood still, waiting for the truth to shift, waiting for the moment to break or bloom.“What… what are you saying, Kade?” I asked, blinking hard, afraid I had imagined it.He leaned closer. “Lena, please. Just tell me you love me too.”He even lowered his voice, as he did not want anyone to listen.My lips opened and I could not hold the words back, too much, too right. “Yes. Kade, I love you. I always have.”He smiled gently. We both nodded, like we were sealing a promise in silence. But inside, something didn’t feel right. It was strange. I’d waited so long for this moment, imagined it, begged the stars for it and now that it was here… it didn’t feel warm. It felt like standing in a dream with one foot sinking into cold water.Yes, I tried to set my doubts aside. I put o

The Night of the Red MoonLena’s POVThis evening it was going to happen. The one night I had been waiting for as far back as anyone could remember.The Red Moon was heavy in the sky, a dull, and silvery moon, for now but I knew it wouldn’t stay that way. Soon it would glow crimson, and everything would change.Maybe… so would I.I looked up in the mirror teasing out the silk red material of my dress. All the she-wolves that are un-mated in our pack wear red to pay their honour to the goddess and offer themselves to fate. It was our way of saying: Here I am. I'm ready.And I was. I had never ever been more all set.I dressed my hair down with my natural being a waterfall around my shoulders. A bit of makeup, just enough to make my dark eyes and deep red lips shine. Not for attention. Not for the boys in the pack. I did it for me. And for him, whoever he was.At one time, I believed it would be Kade.But after the past few weeks… after that kiss with Camilla, after that cruel dare. I d

RejectedLena’s POVTears gathered at the corners of my eyes as I watched the others around me find their mates, one after the other. The joy on their faces only deepened the ache in my chest.Why hasn’t anyone come to me?For a moment, I truly believed I was the only one left unchosen. Then it happened. A ripple of light shimmered from the blood-red moon, and an image formed on its glowing surface, his face.Kade. I gasped. It was real.The Mate Bond wasn’t just a fantasy. It wasn’t something I had imagined or desperately hoped into existence. The moon had spoken and it had spoken his name.Kade Marlowe was my destined mate.My heart surged in my chest as I frantically searched the crowd, expecting to see him coming toward me. Surely, he must have seen it too. He must have felt the same magnetic pull, the same overwhelming gravity I did.But he didn’t come. Instead, I saw him. Across the clearing, near the ceremonial stones, Kade stood beside a brown-furred wolf. He leaned down and n

Cold Treatment. Lena’s POV “Ouch!” I groaned in pain as my knees hit the cold, jagged floor of the cave. The echo of my fall bounced off the stone walls, blending with the howling wind outside. I could feel the rejection seeping through every inch of my body—like a poison running wild through my veins, burning, shredding, destroying. My wolf whimpered deep inside, a sound of agony and loss that made my heart twist painfully. I forced my trembling hands against the floor, trying to push myself up. My fingers slipped on the damp surface, and I collapsed again. Tears welled up, hot and blinding, but I swallowed them back. No. I refused to give in. I refused to let him see me broken. He stood there, motionless. Kade. My mate. My curse. His expression was void—cold, almost detached—as if what he’d just done was nothing more than a meaningless chore. No remorse. No hesitation. No sympathy. The pain in my chest intensified as our bond snapped completely. My wolf howled in ang

Chapter 8

College Embarrassment Lena’s POV “I… I’m sorry…” I stammered, my voice strangled, barely audible through the pressure on my throat. My mother’s fingers dug into my skin, cutting off my air until black spots dotted my vision. Her grip loosened slightly, and I gasped, desperate for breath. She shoved me hard, fury blazing in her eyes. “Sorry for yourself, wolfless brat!” she spat, her words like venom that burned through my heart. I staggered backward, almost losing my balance, but managed to steady myself. My throat throbbed painfully, my voice caught between sobs and silence. I looked at her—this woman who gave me life but looked at me like I was a plague. There was no warmth in her eyes. Only disgust. “Get out of my sight,” she said coldly. “Before your curse spreads to the rest of us.” Her words sliced deep, leaving me breathless. I turned and walked out quietly, my body trembling, my soul crushed. Skylar stood by the doorway, arms crossed, glaring at me with pure disdain

Shoulder to lean on.Milo’s POVThe forest was quiet that night—too quiet for a world still spinning. The moon hung heavy above the treetops, its pale light spilling like liquid silver over the creek. I had been tracking her scent for a while now—sharp with salt and sorrow, tainted by rejection. It wasn’t the first time I’d followed the trail of a broken wolf. But this one… this scent was different. It pulsed with something raw. Something powerful buried beneath the pain.I found her there, by the edge of the water. Knees pressed into the dirt. Shoulders trembling. The sound of her sobs tore through the silence and something inside me tightened.“Lena…” I called softly.Her head snapped up. Eyes wide, glistening with tears. Fear and confusion flickered across her face as she looked around.“Who’s there?” she whispered, her voice shaking like the last leaf in a storm.I stepped out from the shadows slowly, letting the moonlight hit me. Her eyes widened more when she recognized me—thos

THE SEER IN THE SHADOWSMilo’s POVOut of surprise, I turned back to Lena as our eyes met with confusion.Her fingers were still gripping the back of my shirt as though I was the only thing standing between her fragile life and the jaws of death, and I could feel her trembling—her fear traveling through her palms into my skin, entering me like a quiet poison, one that threatened to weaken my stance and loosen the courage I had forced myself to wear.Yet I stood firm. Because fear was contagious, and if I let mine show, it would swallow her whole.The wolf stood a few steps away, its fur glistening like it had been dipped in the darkness of the night itself, its eyes glowing with a strange, unnatural brilliance that did not resemble the glow of a wild animal but rather the glow of something older—something aware, something intelligent, something that had watched humans and wolves alike for centuries and still found them amusing.And then it spoke again. Not with the voice of a beast. B
