CHAPTER 21: THE TEMPTATION

The minutes stretched like hours. Gabriel sat stiffly on the floor of his office, Samantha cradled in his lap, shivering and slick with sweat. Her skin burned hot against his, each of her soft, panting breaths brushing against his throat like temptation incarnate. Her heat had only intensified. She whimpered again, curling tighter into his chest. He clenched his jaw as his wolf howled beneath the surface, demanding—take her, mark her, now. No. He couldn’t. Wouldn’t. She didn’t even understand what this was. Not fully. She hadn’t been prepared. Her body responded instinctively, and the pull between them was undeniable, but that didn’t make it right. “Samantha,” he whispered, brushing a damp strand of hair from her cheek. “I’ve got you. Just breathe.” She let out a soft cry, writhing helplessly in his arms. “It hurts, Gabriel. I—it hurts so much.” His heart cracked. “I know.” His voice was gravel. “I’m sorry.” Her fingers dug into his shirt, clinging to him like a lifeline.

CHAPTER 22: SHE-WOLF RISING

“I want—” Her voice cracked. “I need—” He pressed his forehead to hers. “You don’t know what you’re asking. You’re in heat. Everything feels like love.” “No,” she whispered. “This is different. You’re not just anyone.” He cursed under his breath, holding her so tightly she gasped. “You make it so damn hard to be good.” Her lips brushed his jaw. “Then don’t be.” For a second, he almost listened. But then she whimpered again, not from desire—but pain. Her body trembled in his arms, waves of heat racking through her again. Gabriel clenched his jaw, lifting her carefully and laying her back on the couch. “I’m going to help you,” he said, voice tight. “But only to ease the pain.” Her eyes locked on his. “I trust you.” He stripped off his shirt and climbed onto the couch beside her, pulling her into his arms again, skin against skin. The contact made her sigh, some of the pressure easing instantly. But it wasn’t enough. She twisted, pressing her body against his, her nails dig

CHAPTER 23: SECRETS IN HER BLOOD

Third Person's POV The night air still shimmered with the fading echo of Samantha’s howl. Where moments ago a trembling girl stood, there now prowled a wolf of legend—snow-white fur, eyes burning silver under the full moon. The clearing had gone silent. A beat passed. Then two. And suddenly—chaos. Pack members fell to their knees without understanding why. A pressure hung in the air, heavy and ancient, rooting them to the earth. Even the elders, those who had seen decades of moons, looked on with wide, reverent eyes. “She’s…” someone whispered. “Impossible…” another breathed. Gabriel hadn’t moved from his knees. His wolf, Raik, roared within him—demanding release. Demanding proximity. He gave in. Bones cracked as he shifted, fur exploding from skin. His midnight-black wolf landed with a thud on four paws, towering and lean with power. Raik padded forward, slow and deliberate, each step guided by instinct older than reason. Samantha’s white wolf turned, and their eyes lock

CHAPTER 24: THE KING'S SUMMON

Gabriel stood by the window of his private study, the moonlight casting shadows across his bare chest. The events of the last twenty-four hours replayed in his mind like a storm—Samantha’s transformation, the priestess words, the trembling awe of his pack. A white wolf… a royal bloodline. A mate-bond. His hand still tingled from where he’d touched her skin. Their wolves had already accepted it. But had she? He turned slowly as the soft click of the room door reached his ears. Samantha stepped out quietly, wrapped in a thick sweater that hung off one shoulder. Her hair was still damp from the bath, her steps unsure. Her eyes flicked up—and met his. The pull struck her like a wave. Samantha gasped and pressed her palm to her chest. The bond burned inside her now, throbbing with warmth, with gravity. Every time Gabriel came close, her skin hummed. Her breath caught. “You feel it,” he said softly. She nodded, unable to speak. It wasn’t just attraction. It was a silent tether s

CHAPTER 25: THE ROYAL VISIT

SAMANTHA’S POV The wind was cool as it swept over the ridge, tugging at my cloak like playful fingers. I clutched it tighter around me, the scent of pine and Gabriel clinging to the soft fabric. The open terrain beyond Crescent Hill blurred in the distance, the royal capital now just a day’s ride away. I sat in front , beside Gabriel, the SUV pulling along the forested path. The quiet crunch of tires against the earth was strangely calming—until he reached over and brushed his thumb across the back of my hand. I jolted slightly. I glanced at him. He didn’t pull away. He was watching the trees, jaw set, expression unreadable, but his thumb slowly moved in soft circles. Each touch sent tingles up my arm. My heartbeat fluttered. “You keep doing that,” I muttered. “Doing what?” he asked, not looking at me. “Touching me like it’s nothing.” His lips curved into a slight smirk. “It’s not nothing.” A beat of silence. Then he said, still watching the road, “You could pull away.”

CHAPTER 26: THE FAMILY IN HER DREAMS

SAMANTHA’S POV The court blurred around meA thousand murmurs faded into static.All I could hear was the thundering of my own heartbeat and the pull of something deeper, darker—ancient—as the golden-eyed Alpha stared straight into meThe world tilted.My knees buckled before I even registered what I was seeing. That face. The boy from my dreams. The boy who stood in the middle of the royal court, tall and broad-shouldered now—but unmistakably him.My breath hitched.The ground never came. Strong arms caught me before my head hit the marble floor. A soft murmur rippled through the court as Gabriel knelt, cradling me against his chest.King Aldric spoke then, calm but firm. “Everyone, you are dismissed.”One by one, nobles filed out, some casting backward glances. Gabriel remained rooted at my side, arm locked around my waist.“Samantha—look at me,” he urged, voice tight with panic.But my eyes fluttered closed, lost in blackness.I stood in a garden of roses. The scent—familiar. So p

CHAPTER 27: SNATCHED BY THE PAST

Rose’s POV The moment the news reached the Lockwood estate, the air changed. A single whisper—She’s a white wolf—was enough to crack through the stillness like a bolt of lightning. I was in the east wing, sipping imported chamomile, when Elias barged in. His golden eyes were wide, but not with awe. With fear. “She shifted. Before the entire pack. A white wolf.” The teacup slipped from my fingers, shattering against the polished marble. “What did you say?” “Gabriel’s mate—Samantha. She’s the white wolf.” My breath caught. The cursed orphan? That broken little mongrel? My lip curled as I rose, skirts swaying around my ankles. “Are you sure?” I whispered. He nodded grimly. “I saw the footage. They bowed to her, Rose. Even Gabriel. She didn’t just shift—she commanded them.” I smiled then. Slowly. Coldly. “Then it’s true,” I murmured. “She was never cursed. She was chosen.” John Lockwood stepped in behind Elias, grim and composed. “That changes everything. A white wolf is a div

CHAPTER 28: TRUTH IN THE SHADOWS

Samantha’s POV My wrists burned. The bone charm seared like fire against my skin, its dark pulse echoing through my veins. I could barely lift my head. The slab beneath me was ice-cold, humming with magic I didn’t understand. Shadows crawled along the walls, shifting like smoke, whispering secrets in languages I didn’t know. Where was Gabriel? Why wasn’t he here? I tried again to shift, to claw my way out, but the magic held me in place—limbs paralyzed, body pinned like a helpless creature under glass. Then she stepped forward. Veza. The witch’s green eyes gleamed like rot under candlelight. She moved with eerie grace, her steps silent as mist. Her smile was wide, too wide. “You’re awake,” she cooed. “Good. I wanted you to hear the truth with your own ears.” I flinched at her touch—she ran a knotted finger along my jaw, like I was some precious artifact. “You should be proud, girl. You’re the center of prophecy.” I forced my dry lips to move. “What… prophecy?” She chuck

CHAPTER 29: THE DREAM MESSAGE

Gabriel’s POV ...flash of silver light pulsed from the eastern wing of the castle. Every wolf in the room snapped to alert. “Sam.” I bolted. --- I found the balcony empty. I shouldn’t have left her alone. The thought repeated in my head like a curse as I stormed through the palace halls, shoving aside curtains and slamming open doors. “Have you seen her?” I barked at every servant, every guard. Blank stares. Shaken heads. She was gone. She vanished—from a royal suite inside one of the most heavily guarded palaces in the realm. And it was my fault. I had told myself she needed space. That after everything—her shift, the revelations, the pressure from the pack—she deserved quiet. A chance to breathe. So I left her alone to wander the palace, knowing fully well that we are not in the clear from the promise of doom. No footprints in the soil. No broken vines. No disturbed earth. As if no one had passed through. But her scent stopped at the edge of the balcony. Vanished.

CHAPTER 30: WAR ON CRESCENT MOON

Gabriel’s POV The howling wind did nothing to quiet the rage burning in my chest. We moved like shadows through the trees—my elite warriors, each hand-picked, each deadly. Their fur gleamed under the rising moon, eyes hard with purpose. No one spoke. No one needed to. The Crescent Moon Pack was about to answer for what they had done. For what they’d taken. For what they dared to touch. Samantha. The name echoed through my skull like a prayer turned curse. Every breath I took was laced with her scent—faint, lingering in my memories and maddeningly absent now. I should never have left her alone. Should never have thought distance would protect her from the truth that tethered her to me like breath to lungs. The moment I stepped out onto the palace balcony and found nothing but cold night where she should’ve been, the beast inside me snapped. Her scent had vanished as if she'd never existed at all. The witch’s scent lingered in the air like poison. That was all the confirmation I
