Chapter 11

Killian's POVMy wolf let out a dying howl inside me.It was refusing."Stop."Vivian froze. "Killian? The full moon is about to rise…""My wolf is rejecting the bond." I clutched my chest. "Pause the ceremony. I need ten minutes."Ignoring the uproar from the hundreds of guests, I turned and strode toward the back room.I had to find her.Even if the bond was broken, even if she moved, someone had to know where she was.Maya. Freya's only friend.I kicked the door to the lounge open.When Maya saw me, there was no surprise in her eyes. Only pure, undisguised mockery."What's wrong, Alpha?" Maya smirked. "Looking for a cure for regret? Too bad they don't sell one."I lunged, grabbing her by the throat and hoisting her into the air.My Alpha presence exploded in the small space."Where is she?" My eyes were bloodshot. "Don't lie to me. I know you know.""I have nothing to say to you.""Do you want me to cast you out of the pack? Make you a Rogue?" I snarled.Maya looked at me and sudden

Chapter 12

Killian's POV"Killian! Do you have any idea what you're doing?!"My father's roar echoed behind me, followed by the sound of guards rushing the stage.I didn't look back.I stared at Vivian on the floor. Her makeup was ruined, her white gown was stained with dust, and her eyes were wide with pure, disbelieving terror.…Three days.For three whole days, I locked myself in my office on the top floor of the Blackwood headquarters.I refused to eat. I refused to see anyone. Not even my father.But I couldn't sleep.Every time I closed my eyes, I heard that phone call. The roar of that strange Alpha.That man, Adrian, had marked my Freya, covered her with his scent in his territory.My wolf went berserk again.It thrashed inside my skull, howling at me to go tear that rival apart and claim my mate.I grabbed the syringe from my desk. No time to sterilize the needle. I just plunged it into my vein. The blue tranquilizer barely held the monster inside me at bay. It was a temporary fix. I kn

Chapter 13

Freya's POVThe first night I arrived in Lyon, I realized how different Silvermoon was from Blackwood.There was no oppressive hierarchy here, no sick obsession with so-called "pure bloodlines."Adrian picked me up from the airport himself.When he took my suitcase, his fingertips accidentally brushed the back of my hand. My inner wolf didn't snarl with alarm like it would with a strange Alpha.Instead, it let out a soft, contented whimper.It felt like a weary traveler finally finding a hearth to warm her soul."Freya," Adrian said suddenly in the car, his hands on the wheel. "I know you're not ready for this, but I have to be honest."He glanced at me, his deep blue eyes completely serious."Believe it or not, my wolf has recognized you as its Mate."I stared at him, shocked. "But… my bond with Killian…""That bond wasn't a mistake. It was a test. A trial from the Moon Goddess," Adrian’s voice was gentle but firm. "And I'm the reward."My heart pounded in my chest.Over the next few

Chapter 14

Killian's POVI didn't leave. Instead, I stayed for the European Wolf Summit.The air was thick with the smell of expensive red wine and the potent musk of Alphas from every pack.I sat in a shadowy corner, my eyes locked on the entrance to the ballroom.I knew she would come.Adrian was parading her around, showing off his "new consultant" to all of Europe."Killian, don't do anything rash," my Beta whispered beside me. "This is neutral territory. If you start a fight, you'll be sanctioned by the Wolf Council.""Shut up."I threw back a glass of hard liquor. The burn in my throat couldn't extinguish the fire in my heart.The main doors opened.Every head in the room turned.Adrian, in a black tuxedo, looked like a goddamn prince.And the woman on his arm…My hand clenched around my glass, shattering it. Shards dug into my palm.Was that Freya?She was wearing a deep red, backless gown—a color she would never have dared to wear before.She used to say it was too bold, not fitting for a

Chapter 15

Killian's POVI woke up the next morning in the hotel's presidential suite with a splitting headache.The red wine stains were still on my shirt, like dried blood."Alpha, we have a problem."My beta burst in without knocking, holding a classified, express-delivered file."The High Council just issued a Red Warrant," he said, his face pale. "For Vivian Russell."I paused for a second, then sneered. "I sent the video yesterday. She colluded with rogues. A warrant is what she deserves.""No, it's more than just the video." The beta handed me the file. "It was Freya. She submitted… a kill file. Enough to bury the entire Russell family."I took the file, my heart sinking with every word I read.For years, right under my nose, Freya had used her access as my manager to build a case against Vivian. A kill file.It wasn't just the Wolfsbane that night.It was a corporate espionage case from three years ago—Vivian had sold Blackwood secrets to a rival pack.A border skirmish from two years ago

Chapter 16

Killian's POVI requested one final visit with Vivian.There were things I had to know before she was exiled for good.In the visitation room, through the thick, reinforced glass, I saw her.In just two days, the glamorous heiress of the Russell family was gone. Without her expensive creams and treatments, she looked worse than a beggar on the street.When she saw me, her eyes were empty, a strange smile playing on her lips."Killian," she rasped, a crazed smile twisting her lips. "Come to admire your handiwork?"I sat down, my hands clasped on the table. I tried to keep my voice steady."Besides what happened at the club, what else did you do to Freya?""What else?" Vivian acted as if she'd heard the funniest joke in the world, letting out a sharp, piercing laugh. "Hahaha! Killian, do you really want to know?"She slammed herself against the glass, pounding on it frantically."Do you want to know why she's allergic to Moonpetal grass?"My heart stopped."Tell me.""Because I poisoned

Chapter 17

Killian's POVI went to France with the "Moonlight Scepter."It was a staff encrusted with blue sapphires, a symbol of the Blackwood pack's supreme authority.Only the most revered Lunas in history were worthy of holding it.To hold it was to have the power to command the pack's armies and its wealth.It was the last chip I had to play.I was going to repay what I owed her, a thousand times over.I found Freya in the garden of the Silvermoon estate.She was sitting on a bench, basking in the sun with a book on her lap.The sunlight on her made her look like a beautiful illusion.The moment she saw me, the smile on her face vanished.Adrian wasn't there. It was just the two of us.I ran toward her, throwing all caution to the wind.I stopped three feet away from her.Then, under her shocked gaze, I fell to my knees before her.An Alpha kneels for no one. But this wasn't submission. This was utter surrender.With trembling hands, I raised the scepter, offering it up like a sinner begging

Chapter 18

Killian's POVThe autumn rain in France was bone-chilling.I had been keeping watch outside Freya's apartment building for three days.Ever since I felt that faint flicker of our bond, I'd been acting like a junkie. Humiliated, driven away, I still stubbornly stayed here, desperate to catch that fleeting connection again.But tonight was different.Tonight was the start of my Rut.During these few days, an Alpha's primal instincts overpower his reason. The craving for his mate becomes a hunger that can destroy everything.Before, I had Freya.She would soothe me with her body, a safe harbor in my storm of violence.But not anymore.I curled up in a dark corner, every bone in my body aching, as if they were being torn out and put back in one by one.The suppressants had stopped working.My eyes glowed a venomous red in the dark. My fangs extended uncontrollably, piercing my lower lip.I needed her.I needed her now.The thought rose like a wildfire, instantly burning away the last of my

Chapter 19

Killian's POVI passed out in the flowerbed outside the apartment building and slept through the night.The morning sun stung my eyes, waking me from the hungover haze.The most intense night of the rut was over.But I wished I was still lost in the madness.Because being lucid meant facing the vile creature I was last night—a man who tried to rape his own destined mate.A black sedan pulled out of the underground garage. It was Adrian's car.Through the window, I saw Freya in the passenger seat.She wore a high-collared sweater. A deliberate choice to hide the bruises on her throat, a silent accusation.Her profile was cold, her gaze fixed forward. She didn't even glance at the pathetic wreck of a man crouched by the roadside."Freya!"I don't know where the strength came from, but I scrambled out of the bushes and threw myself in front of the car.The screech of tires was deafening.The car stopped just inches from my knees.Adrian lowered the window, his eyes glacial. "If you want t

Chapter 20

Freya's POVToday was my 24th birthday.It was probably the grandest birthday I'd ever had in my life.Adrian had invited not only the leaders of every major European wolf pack but also famous socialites from the human world.Everyone was smiling at me, raising their glasses, and sincerely saying, "Happy birthday, Miss Freya."No whispering mockery, no disdain for my impure bloodline, and no judgmental stares that made my skin crawl.Here, I wasn't just someone's secretary or someone's dirty little secret.I was Silvermoon's Chief Public Relations Consultant, Adrian's most trusted partner.I held my champagne, smiling back at the well-wishing guests.As I passed the gift area, a figure in the corner caught my eye.A tall man in a waiter's uniform and a face mask was surreptitiously placing a black velvet box in a corner.His right hand had an ugly, black burn scar—the one from my car window.Killian.He'd snuck in here like a thief.I walked over. Before he could panic and flee, I pick
