CHAPTER 1

ELARAA wet liquid trickled down my cheek, It felt cold, sticky, and unfamiliar, when I opened my eyes, the world around me swirled like a broken carousel. My fingers twitched against dirt, ash, and something softer, maybe moss I don't know.But the smell was all weird. It reeked of blood and burned flesh, and inside me recoiled before I even understood why.Trees stood like charred bones in the distance, smoke moving into the gray sky, and the ground was littered with bodies, some of them mangled beyond recognition, others still twitching, but barely alive. My heart beat hard against my ribs, and I couldn’t remember what it had felt like to be safe.Or who I even was.I sat up too fast and nearly choked on a sob, my hands clutching at my sides as pain rippled through my body. My skin was covered with bruises, scratches, and cuts. My throat felt sore, like I had been shouting."Easy," a voice said behind me, deep and smooth like melted obsidian.I twisted, or at least tried to, but

CHAPTER 2

ELARA★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★The Blackthorne Pack grounds were bursting with celebration. Tables lined with platters of roasted meat, sweet berry tarts, and goblets of red wine were spread out beneath the open sky. Music throbbed through the air, low drums and flutes creating a festive rhythm that pulsed alongside the clinking of glasses and the hum of conversation.Pack members danced in swirling dresses and loose shirts, warriors boasting tales of border victories, elders in long cloaks sharing murmured predictions over cups of spiced mead. Everyone had gathered for the rare and sacred Mate Ceremony, a tradition that hadn’t occurred in over a decade.And I was at the center of it all.I didn’t know why I had been summoned, only that the Council of Elders had declared it a divine command. I was told that I was his, the Alpha’s fated mate. I wasn’t given a choice, just a dress, a necklace to show my acceptance, and a warning not to speak unless spoken to. My heart thundered in my

CHAPTER 3

ELARAThey called it healing.The sleeping teas, the memory tinctures, the quiet hours in rooms that echoed with nothing but soft light and silence. Cyril guised it all in concern, in his deep voice and soft hands and the practiced calm of a man too smooth to be questioned.I wore Luna's silks. I smiled with Luna's grace. And inside, I drowned in a sea of blank memories and strange, suffocating peace."We've registered our union," Cyril said one morning over fresh berries and warm bread. "You belong to me now, and by the laws of the Packs, you're off limits to everyone else."Everyone else.The words sat oddly on my tongue as if someone else had tried to claim me before.But no memories came, I felt just fog and a slight ache."You okay, Elara?" I blinked, "Yes…I'm fine."He reached for my hand, brushing his thumb across my knuckles. "Good. We have a gathering tonight in the southern wing. Most of the border packs will be there, I want them to see you."I nodded, though inside me shif

CHAPTER 4

ELARAAnother night, another banquet.If I had a coin for every time someone shoved me into a gown and told me to “smile like the Moon Goddess herself,” I could probably buy the whole damn packhouse and retire.“Hold still,” one of the maids said, stabbing another pin into my hair.“I am holding still,” I muttered. “I’m practically a corpse. Just prettier.” She didn’t laugh. They rarely did. Cyril had them trained to treat me like fine glass, beautiful, expensive, and not to be questioned.He appeared in the mirror behind me, already dressed in his perfect black suit with a fur coat lining on the top, every button glinting like he’d polished them himself. “You look divine,” he said.“Divine looks a lot like terrified,” I answered.He smiled like that was cute instead of honest. “It’s just a banquet, my love. You’ll charm them. He paused, looking at my bulge. “Both of you will.”I wanted to say I’d rather fight a bear, but I just nodded and let him loop my arm through his. The hall o

CHAPTER 5

ELARAThe first thing I heard was someone arguing over my body.“She’s stable,” a woman said, voice careful, low. “The baby too. Strong heartbeat.”“And?” Cyril’s tone sliced through the quiet.The woman hesitated. “But her wolf… it’s gone. I can’t sense it at all.”Gone?My eyes stayed shut, but the word clawed at me. Wolves didn’t just vanish. They slept, they hid, they sulked…but gone?Cyril exhaled sharply. “You’re mistaken.”“With respect, Beta,” the healer whispered, “I’ve done this twenty years. Every wolf has a pulse, even in coma. Hers…there's nothing. It’s like a door slammed shut.”A door slammed shut somewhere inside me, too. I opened my eyes.The ceiling above me was rough wood, herbs hanging upside down from a beam. The air smelled of mint and smoke. I was lying on a cot, a cool cloth slipping from my forehead.“Welcome back, my Luna,” Cyril said smoothly, relief painting his face. “You fainted.”“No kidding,” I croaked. My throat felt like sandpaper. “Did I at least mak
