Chapter 1

Werewolves danced wildly around the bonfire.Across the raucous pack, I saw Kaelen Payne suddenly stop kissing. He had sensed my call through the mind-link.Under the moonlight, his face was clearly visible, and his expression went still.Seeing this, the she-wolf named Lyra Tucker quickly grabbed his arm. "Who's calling you?"Her spiritual power sensed our mind-link. She let go of his arm, her eyes reddening as she stared at him. "Kaelen! You promised you'd be mine tonight! You said you'd spend the festival with me. It was my only wish, and you agreed."Tears welled up in her eyes, and even I felt a pang of pity. My fingertips trembled from the burning pain in my soul.Kaelen hesitated for a few seconds, then severed our link. He cupped Lyra's face, kissed her, and murmured, "I gave you my word. I'll keep it. Don't be sad, honey."He soothed her with a smile, yet a fraction of mind slipped back to me. His voice whispered into my mind through our private link."My Luna, I'm han

Chapter 2

Kaelen asked, "My Luna, why are you suddenly asking about the oath?"A flicker of confusion came through the mind-link, followed by his words. "My wolf will always be loyal to you, and my love will never deceive you."It was too loud outside. Kaelen wouldn't risk establishing a deep link. He didn't dare reveal he was at the rowdy festival, or let me feel the swing of his emotions and catch the slightest hint.Brenna and I shifted into our wolves and moved through the forest shadows, tracking the couple ahead.Lyra had snatched the transmission crystal Kaelen used to communicate."How long are you going to keep soothing her?" Lyra scowled. "You promised you'd stay with me, but your mind is all on her. If that's the case, why are you with me?"Her voice trembled with hurt. "Kaelen, do you want me to be your shadow forever? I won't be your secret lover! I'm a Gamma warrior, not an Omega you can hide away! An Alpha can't have two hearts!"Her words carried clean to our sharpened ear

Chapter 3

I sat on the slope facing the cabin, watching Kaelen and Lyra framed in the window. My mind drifted back to what he told me just two weeks ago."Something just happened at the mine our pack's been monitoring. I might not make it back in time for the festival."Kaelen, who was usually so clingy, wore a look of regret. "Babe, you're going to the festival alone. I've never missed one. It just doesn't feel right."I'd thought he truly felt guilty. I kissed him, smiling as I said, "It's alright. We've got plenty of time. As long as you want it, we can sneak away anytime for just the two of us."The surprise I had prepared for Kaelen now served as a private hideaway for him and Lyra, as they tangled in the hot spring he'd once told me about.When Brenna came back with the parchment, she turned my face away. "Don't look. It'll stain your soul."She placed the parchment in front of me. "Look at this instead. It'll clear your head."Lyra's portrait was drawn on the parchment. She was a n

Chapter 4

Kaelen's panicked voice burst into my head. "My Luna, why didn't you answer me yesterday?"We stood on separate rises with a dark forest between us, a distance that felt like a canyon.He tested the waters carefully. "Are you upset that I went to handle the border situation? My Luna, I can explain. When are you coming back? I want to see you in person, alright?"Lyra hugged him from behind, but the warmth he showed last night was gone. He pushed her hands away and stepped aside."My Luna, please say something. Don't shut me out like this."His wounded voice reverberated through the mind-link, settling heavy in my chest.I watched him from behind, suddenly exhausted by the whole act."Kaelen, I'll be back soon," I said. "I hope you'll still be smiling when I get there."He missed the meaning behind my words and let out a sigh of relief. "Okay. Whatever you say."He had no idea I was near enough to hear every word he said to Lyra.Lyra clutched his hand, uneasy. "Kaelen, you lo

Chapter 5

Having had years of clawing his way through pack politics, Kaelen composed himself quickly and forced a smile."My Luna," he murmured in my ear. "This isn't the place to talk. Come with me, alright? Don't make a scene here.Almost pleadingly, he added, "My moonlight, I've never asked you for anything before. Just this once, do as I say."I thought I was ready, but his words still sent a painful tremor through my heart. I knew he'd cheated on me, yet it felt absurd to hear him ask me to step back and stay quiet for another she-wolf."What if I refuse?" I asked, pushing the ache down. "What if I won't agree, Kaelen?"I met his gaze. I used to think his eyes were warm and gentle. But now, I saw only fierceness and cruelty in them."Elara, in the world of grown werewolves, the pack's reputation comes first. I don't want this to get out of hand."In the world of grown werewolves, reputation was everything. But only the worthy deserved it. What made him think he deserved any of it?I

Chapter 6

"No! Absolutely not!" I yanked my wrist out of Kaelen's grip. "Since I'm here, I brought a special gift for you and your future mate! After all, how else could I possibly show my respect for the way you betrayed our mate bond?"I didn't bother to lower my voice. Every werewolf in the hall heard me. The ones who had been shouting at me on Lyra's behalf fell silent and shifted their eyes toward her.Lyra snapped, "You're lying! I'm not the other she-wolf! You're making things up!"Her shrill voice ricocheted around the hall. I looked at her coldly. "Do you need evidence? Very well then."I looked over at Brenna, and she gave me a thumbs-up.A second later, a surge of spiritual power rolled through the hall, and images and sound poured straight into every mind.A telepathic broadcast directed at every werewolf present in the hall. The soft music in the hall faded, replaced by the sound of breathless moans.The scene from my garden played out in every mind.Lyra sank her teeth into

Chapter 7

"I'm not keeping a mate bond that's already been tainted," I said, looking at Kaelen's stunned expression."If you really love her, then make her your mate. Complete the rejection ritual with me before the Moon Goddess. Swear it on your Alpha's blood, and claim her as your new Luna. If you dare to do that, you'll still have my respect," I said coldly.Kaelen was stunned. I caught the flicker of delight on Lyra's face as she looked at Kaelen with hope in her eyes.Kaelen snatched the dagger and hurled it to the floor. "When are you going to stop this nonsense?"By then, Marcus and the others had already pieced together the truth. They sided with me, directing all their scolding squarely at Lyra."Lyra, you've let me down," Marcus said, pointing at her. "I won't claim an apprentice who stains a warrior's honor! From this day on, don't you dare say you trained under me!"When Marcus turned to leave, Lyra rushed after him. "Mr. Lewis, please, let me explain!"He yanked himself free

Chapter 8

"That was the plan, wasn't it? He'd stand up for you and turn on me. The one who couldn't wait for me to make a scene was you, wasn't it?" I accused.Inside the crystal, the patrolman confessed everything in detail.Lyra's expression went stiff. When Kaelen looked at her in disbelief, she burst into tears and clutched his arm. "She's lying! Kaelen, I love you! Don't believe her! Please, don't!"The pity in his eyes was gone. I knew every look he had. After so many years together, I could read the disgust the instant it flickered.He shook her hands off his arm and asked coldly, "You promised me you wouldn't show yourself to her until I was ready. You gave me your word. Why didn't you keep it?"Kaelen's obsessive streak told me everything. He was choosing between us.Lyra sobbed, "I only did it because I love you so much. How is that wrong?"Hearing this, Kaelen seemed to make up his mind, and his eyes turned cold as he looked at Lyra. Then, he walked to me and tried to take my

"You lay a hand on me and I'll take it to the Council!" Lyra shouted.I had no interest in arguing with Lyra. I picked up our things and walked out with Brenna.Forcing Kaelen to agree to the ritual had gone far better than I expected.While sitting in the car, I stared at the silver dagger in my lap, still a little stunned.Kaelen and I had grown from pups into adults. We were each other's first love. I stood with him through the brutal pack politics until he secured his place as Alpha. None of it had been easy.Now, I handed our token of love—a wolf fang necklace—to the pack's blacksmith and watched it melt down into a pool of silver.I smiled at Brenna. "Feel like getting away? Maybe catch the sunrise on the snowcaps."…For half a month, Kaelen hadn't been able to reach me through the mind-link. It wasn't for lack of trying. Every time he reached out to me, his mind hit a void.He thought about coming to find me, but his pride kept him rooted. He assumed I was punishing hi

Chapter 10

I honestly hadn't expected this. Even for something as simple as the rejection ritual, Kaelen showed up late.I waited from morning into the afternoon. Just when I was sure he was pulling another stunt, he limped into view.He forced a bitter laugh, his voice rasping like it had scraped over stone. "Elara."Time seemed to freeze at that moment.I remembered the day we'd chosen to hold our bonding ceremony. He was late then too.I had berated him when he finally rushed in. Then, he pulled out a crown woven from moonlight flowers like a magician."I was picking these," he said. "The books say even a pack ceremony needs that sense of occasion."Bathed in moonlight, his smile had been soft as clouds, filling my chest until even my tears tasted sweet.He told me, "Elara, I just want to give you the best I'm capable of."We stood before the Moon Goddess statue with his hand locked around mine."From this day forward, whether in life or death, I will never be parted from Elara.
