The Slave Who Sat Beside the Devil

Ava's POVNo one sat beside the Cursed Alpha. Until I did.I still don’t know how it happened, exactly. One minute, I was scrubbing a stubborn stain out of the white marble floor in the Grand Hall—a rogue streak of wine left over from the royal mating celebration—and the next minute, a frantic, red-faced attendant had grabbed my arm, yanking me up so fast my head spun.“You! Get in there, now! The Alpha King is about to arrive, and we’re short three girls for the honor guard!”Before I could even stammer out, "I’m just Ava, the scullery girl," she had shoved me through the massive, oak doors and into the ritual hall.It was chaotic, but a silent kind of chaos. Everything glittered.The hall was massive, stretching farther than any room I’d ever been allowed inside, with high ceilings painted with scenes of the Moon Goddess and ancient wolves.My ragged tunic and bare, dirt-stained feet stood out like a blight on the pristine white carpet that led to the raised thrones.I froze, heart

The Bond That Shouldn’t Exist

Ava's POVThe silence that followed Alpha Caeser's devastating, single word—"Mine"—lasted only a heartbeat before the world erupted.It wasn't the kind of chaos that came with fire or swords, but a much sharper, crueler chaos fueled by shock and outrage."Impossible!" someone shrieked. It was the King, Alpha Caeser's father, who had been sitting in the adjacent, larger throne, his face turning a mottled red. "The ritual is sacred! This... this servant, this scullery wolf cannot bear the Mark of the Moon, especially not for the Crown!"Around me, wolves scrambled to their feet. The refined, perfect ceremony turned into a panicked stampede. I was still frozen on the floor, the crescent moon on my wrist pulsing with a white-hot ache. It felt like my very bone was being reforged."Abomination! She is a fraud!" A high-ranking noblewoman, glittering with jewels, pointed a trembling, manicured finger at me. "The mark must be false! Check her, Guards! Tear her clothes off if you must!"Two la

The Price of Defiance

Ava's POVThe kingdom has one rule: no one defies the Moon Court and lives.The blood of the unconscious guard was still glistening on the marble. Caeser had just threatened the life of the King, his own father, and the silence that followed was a deep, pregnant hush before a massacre."High Treason!" the King shrieked, finally finding his voice. He scrambled off his throne, robes rustling, and pointed a shaking finger at Alpha Caeser. "You have defied the sacred Mating Rites, rejected the Edicts, and threatened the Crown! Guards! Surround him! He is no longer your Alpha King—he is a traitor! Seize them both!"Dozens of elite Alpha Guards, the warriors who had been paralyzed by Caeser's sheer power, finally overcame their fear and surged forward. They didn't rush in blindly; they formed a tight, armed semi-circle around Caeser and me, their blades drawn and catching the light. We were completely trapped on the dais. The nobles, realizing a genuine fight was imminent, were retreating,

The Beast Without a Wolf

Ava's POVThe air in the Ironwood Forest was a physical pain. It was sharp, freezing, and smelling of ancient pine and snow.We’d been riding hard for hours, putting as much distance as possible between us and the burning palace. Caeser finally slowed the weary warhorse to a trot, guiding us through a dense thicket until we reached a shallow cave tucked beneath a heavy cluster of exposed roots.He slid off the horse first, then gently lifted me down. My legs felt so numb, my body shaking violently from the cold and the adrenaline dump."We stop here," Caeser said, his voice flat and strained. He unsaddled the horse, giving it a heavy pat before shooing it off into the deeper woods. "It’s safer if it's not tied down."I sank against the cold, damp stone of the cave wall, pulling my thin tunic tighter.With all the running and everything we'd been doing, it was only normal that I felt as exhausted as I did.I watched him work. He was practical, focused, gathering dry leaves and snapping

Blood of the Moon

Ava's POVThe words were spoken with a terrifying mixture of horror and cold certainty. Caeser still knelt at the edge of the dark pool, his breathing ragged, the impossible, monstrous reflection shimmering in the water before him.I stayed rooted behind the tree, gripping the bark so tightly my fingers ached.I’d seen the shadow, the thing beneath his skin, the source of his silver blood and his missing scent. He was an Alpha cursed not just with bad luck, but with something actively predatory living inside him.I slowly stepped out from the shadows. "I know," I said, my voice surprisingly steady, despite the way my heart was thrashing against my ribs. "I saw your reflection. The shadow. It’s what the Seer meant."He didn't move, but his eyes, now a deep, furious silver, narrowed on me. "You saw it, Ava. Do you understand what it means? It means you have to run. Now."He finally pushed himself to his feet, turning his full height toward me. He looked like an ancient, magnificent stat

The Awakening

Ava's POVThe Hunter’s whisper hung in the cold night air like a curse and a prayer. It paralyzed the remaining guards with a terror far deeper than the fear of Caeser.They didn’t dare touch me, even as Caeser, still weak and shocked, began to fight for control of the situation.But the moment was fleeting. The silver glow on my hand faded back to normal, leaving behind only the searing heat of the crescent mark.The lead Hunter, regaining a sliver of his courage, quickly barked orders.“Forget the Alpha! Seize the female! She is far too dangerous to live!”We were immediately overwhelmed. Caeser fought like a maddened beast, even without his full power, but he was mad exhausted and severely outnumbered.They used silver-laced nets and thick iron chains. In minutes, we were both shackled, the cold, heavy iron biting into our wrists and necks.They didn't lead us back on horseback. They dragged us, forcing us to walk through the Ironwood, back toward the palace. They kept us separated

The Scorch of the Bond

Caesar's POV“You just broke the first seal.”The golden energy that had surged from the bond when our eyes met didn’t fade. Instead, it solidified into a burning, agonizing current that connected us, soul-to-soul, across the bloody clearing.It felt like every nerve ending in my body was being peeled and dipped in molten lava. Every instinct that had been dulled or suppressed by the binding magic for years roared to life.The words came from inside my head.Mate. Mine. Mine to protect. Mine to claim.The guards remained prostrate, their faces pressed into the pine needles and mud, their bodies twitching in a submission they couldn't control.They weren't reacting to me; they were reacting to the raw, untamed authority of the Moon-Born female before them, amplified by the newly-ignited power of the Cursed Alpha.Ava’s wolf—a shimmering silver beast the size of a small deer, with the unmistakable regal bearing of true royalty—let out a low growl.Sure, she was powerful, but she was new

The Price of the Seal

Ava's POVI woke up to darkness.The smell of burnt wood hit my nose, and without opening my eyes, I knew for a fact that I was safe.The moment I tried to sit up, a sharp, searing pain shot through my body. The pain wasn't because of some physical injury; it was a psychic recoil, like a stretched wire snapping back into place. My eyelids instantly flew open.I was lying on a makeshift bed of furs in what appeared to be a stone cave or a small, hidden cabin.A small fire crackled in a hearth, casting dancing shadows on rough-hewn walls. I was wrapped in a ridiculously heavy, soft cloak—the one Caesar had taken from the guard—and under it, I was completely naked.I blinked, reaching a trembling hand to my chest. My skin felt so smooth and fragile, but beneath it, the raw, aching core of my newly awakened wolf felt immensely exhausted.A large shadow detached itself from the darkest corner of the room, near the entrance.Caesar.He was still in his Court clothes—dark velvet, now streake

The cornered wolf

Caesar's POVAva seemed terrified. Just when we thought we had slipped far away from the king's guards, they emerged yet again.This time, they were right outside the door and we had no where to run to.I either face them or we stay in there and starve to death. They will surely not leave without me.“ Lord Caeser, Step out immediately or we'll be forced o to use excessive force.” A voice came from outside.“ That's him again, Hunter Darian. He's not going to back away from the fight is he?” Ava asked, clenching her fist.I shook my head, this wasn't the type of case we'll ever see Darian back out from. Maybe he hides hatred for me too, there was a chance he did.“Your father, We just received words that the fire killed him. We have no king anymore. Hand over the girl and let the court decide if they can still pardon you.” Darian stated.My chest tightened. How did Father die from the fire? I could have sworn I saw him get away before things escalated.Ava stared at me, waiting to see

The first seal

Caeser's POVI turned to Darian, who looked confused too. “You told me my father was dead. How is he waiting for me again? Was that one of your tricks to wear me down?”Darian shook his head vigiursouly, “I am as confused as you are. I saw it with my own eyes, the king's body. That was when I immediately assembled the hunters and went searching for you.”“ It appears we only thought the king died from smoke intoxication. He woke up afterwards and was unharmed.” Kael explained.I didn't know if I was happy that my father survived or not.“Take me to him.”Eva and I was taken into the court. My father and several elders sat around the Court. They were murmuring to themselves until we walked in.My father rose up and walked to me. He reached me and stopped, gazing at me bluntly. Something about him seemed completely different. Perhaps I was just weary from the journey.He said nothing and walked back to his seat.“You defied me and walked away from your duty, with a slave. You burned dow
