Chapter 1

~EMILIA MONROE~I gasped for air, my chest tightening as though I were drowning. The feel of cold water against every part of my skin jolted me awake, and as my eyes flew open, I realized I was in no river and neither was I drowning. I was in my bed. The sheets clung to me, completely soaked, and standing at the foot of my bed with a bucket in her hand, was my step sister."Adrielle!" I yelled as I sat upright, still shivering from the cold water. "What the hell is wrong with you?" I questioned, hoping there was a reasonable explanation as to why she poured me a bucket of cold water in my sleep, but I knew there was none. With Adrielle, there never was."I gave you what you deserved. You ruined my life, Emilia." I blinked, both confused and angry. Adrielle had always been a thorn in my flesh ever since we were young."My boyfriend dumped me!" She spat distastefully. “Jackson says he doesn’t want anything to do with me. And it’s all because of you.”My stomach sank when I finally under

Chapter 2

~KILLIAN THANE~The metallic taste of blood still coated my tongue when I shifted back. My body ached from the transformation, the raw hunger of my wolf reluctantly quenched as skin replaced fur, but the rage never left me. My bare feet pressed into the damp soil as I walked the path that led to my residence. Two were dead, ripped apart by my fangs. But, I knew it should have been three. The girl’s face flashed across my mind for a moment. Her wide, terrified eyes staring at me, her scattered hair, and her scent that was oddly sweet amidst her stench of fear. I should have devoured her, rip her throat out and silence her screams before they even left her lips. But my wolf… let her go. He turned its hunger elsewhere, and it unsettled me for not knowing why.However, I dismissed the thought. She was irrelevant.The night was cold as I strode back naked into the the alpha's residence. My residence. One of the guards who had been appointed for such hurried to cover me with a robe as I en

Chapter 3

~EMILIA MONROE~My hands wouldn’t stop trembling.Even after I woke, even after I scrubbed hard at my skin, I could still feel the rough hands of Jackson's friends clutching me, their foul laughter in my ears, their weight pressing me to the ground. And then the wolf. The big black wolf with eyes like burning coals. Its snarl still echoed in my mind.I pulled my knees tighter against my chest, curling in the corner of my small bed. I hadn’t slept properly, not since the attack. Every time I shut my eyes, I saw the its fangs, felt the brush of death against my throat. Yet somehow, I was alive. Alive because… because the wolf spared me.Why?The thought gnawed at me as the first light of dawn slipped through my window, painting the worn walls of my room. I barely had time to gather myself before Adrielle's voice rang out. “Emilia!” She yelled. “Are you deaf? Everyone is waiting. Breakfast!”I flinched. My body moved before my mind caught up. I had gotten too caught up in the events of

Chapter 4

~EMILIA MONROE~Adrielle hadn’t shut her mouth since she and the other contestants were shown to their chambers inside the mansion.“Did you see him, Mitchell? His presence carries so much weight. Killian doesn’t even need to speak to command obedience.” Adrielle paced the length of the room, her hands pressed dramatically against her chest. “I swear, he only looked my way once and I felt it. I’ll win this contest. I’ll be his Luna. Just watch.”Mitchell, was one of Adrielle’s friends way before the contest and seeing as they were both there for the same thing, they latched onto each other. “He certainly has the qualities of an outstanding Alpha. He's every girl's dream.”I almost chuckled at Mitchell's statement, but I stopped myself. Adrielle fell onto her bed with a chuckle. “I’ll make him see me and I'll make him choose me. I'll become his precious Luna.” She giggled again. "Gods, he's so handsome and hot."I noticed her gaze slide toward me and then came the unexpected question.

Chapter 5

~KILLIAN THANE~Weak. Feeble. Small.If I had pressed a little harder at her neck, the sound of bones snapping would be next. The image of Emilia Monroe’s frightened eyes had refused to leave my mind since the moment in the relic room. It angered me how her scent still lingered and how my wolf had become restless with desire. A desire to claim and savage her whole till all she knew was me.The same way my wolf was cursed with bloodlust since my ascension, so also was his sexual desires. My sexual hunger was one that could hardly be satisfited despite the women I had been with, and neither was I easily aroused. But the girl Emilia had somehow managed to stir up my wolf with just a glance at her.Still, I was never going to accept nor claim her as my mate. She was an insult to my personality, an insult to my title and being.It must have been some cruel joke from the gods to bind me to an unshifted.A flicker of movement drew my attention back to the present. My maid lay half-naked on t

Chapter 6

~EMILIA MONROE~The Alpha’s residence was wrapped in chaos as that morning marked the beginning of the Luna trials. It came with noise, footsteps and chatter of women desperate to please a man who hadn't looked their way or shown his presence in the past three days. Servants darted in and out of rooms with trays, spices and ingredients. The contestants first test had already been revealed. They were meant to prepare and serve Killian a meal in however way they could do best. Whosoever he finds pleasing, in taste, creativity and presentation, would earn a point and move on to the next round.Adrielle was at the verge of a panic attack. She paced the length of the room like a trapped animal while I had no choice but to follow her around, helping her tighten the strings of her corset. It was exhausting and though I had the urge to scream at her, I knew it would only escalate things.“This is not happening… this can’t be happening. I literally can’t cook a thing." She grumbled. It was t

Chapter 7

~EMILIA MONROE~I was moved to a different room, the kind prepared for the contestants, and the shocked look on Adrielle’s face when she realized I wouldn’t be serving her anymore was the only satisfying thing in all of this. Other than that, fear clung to me like a second skin.My foot still burned from the coals, a sting under the bandage even though the healers said it had mostly recovered.I tightened the wrap around my foot and sat on the edge of the bed, thinking… calculating… trying to figure out any possible way to escape the hell I’d fallen into.My stomach twisted. I couldn’t keep living like this. I couldn't wait for the next trial, wait to be embarrassed, hurt, or broken in front of everyone. Maybe… just maybe… if I spoke to Killian, I could convince him to release me from the contest.The thought terrified me. But it was the only choice I had left.His quarters were deeper inside the residence, where the halls grew quieter and the guards stiffer. The scent there was diff

Chapter 8

~KILLIAN THANE~The scent of her arousal clung strongly to the air. Sweet, warm and enough to tear through my self control. I sat there, staring at the space in the bed Winnower had fled from, my jaw tight from anger. What I had planned to make Emilia suffer ended up making me uncomfortable.It shouldn't have affected me. None of it should have. But, the moment Winnoer got down on her with her tongue, my wolf stirred violently within me. Every gasp, breath, and sound Emilia made lit my blood on fire. It turned me on faster than a woman's mouth around my cock. And gods help me… the moment Winnower said she was tight…I snapped.Not because I was disgusted but because someone else was touching what was mine. Emilia remained on the bed, hair disheveled and her chest rising and falling in quick breaths. Her lips were parted, her thighs still trembling, and her eyes were fixed on me. She tried to mask the fear within them but I could see it. We were alone and it frightened her.I, on th

Chapter 9

~EMILIA MONROE~The scream of a female was what woke me up that morning. I had fallen asleep even though I didn’t think I could after the previous night’s ordeal with Killian.Apparently, a dead girl and a man had been found in the middle of the woods, their bodies torn apart in the worst way possible. The girl was one of the contestants in the Luna Trials, and the man was from the pack too. They were discovered by two other contestants who went out for a morning walk, and the girls ran back screaming about what they had seen.Everyone was shaken and frightened by the news. Well… except Killian. And the moment everyone noticed his indifference, we knew exactly who had done it. The silence surrounding him was louder than any confession.An heavy weight settled in my stomach because I couldn't keep the thought from my mind. 'Did he do that immediately after I stepped out of his room?' It echoed inside my mind and I wondered if he really hated me that much that he seeked for something to

Chapter 10

~EMILIA MONROE~The whispers about me that evening were unending. Everywhere I passed, voices dropped to murmurs, eyes followed me, and shock clung to the air like smoke. And when I finally retired to my room after leaving the infirmary, the last thing I expected to find were three people waiting for me. My father, Serena and Adrielle.My father sat on the only chair like it was a throne, while the two women stood on each side of him like guards. Their gazes landed on me the second I stepped in, cold and judging, as though I had committed a crime simply by breathing.“It appears you might not be wolfless after all.” Serena said, her tone sharp enough to cut.Adrielle’s voice followed instantly. “Two trials down and you’re still standing. I’d be lying if I said I’m not shocked. One would think you aspire to become Luna yourself.”Her words burned. She would rather see me locked up, starving and in pains than for me to progress in the trials. Serena opened her mouth again but my fathe
