HER RETURN

The invitation was still laying on my bed when I got home. Thick parchment, deep crimson wax. an alpha's seal pressed into the surface.I didn't need to open it.Only one pack still had the authority to summon me. Only one place in the world I had sworn never to return to.Five years ago, I ran from that pack with nothing but a suitcase and a shattered heart. I left behind my family, my pack and the boy who broke me into a million pieces.I rebult my life from scratch; away from the hurt, pain; somewhere safe.Or so I thought.My fingers trembled as I finally broke the seal.By order of the Alpha, your presence is required for the coronation of his heir. Failure to appear will be considered an act of defiace aainst the pack."Fuck!!!" I screamed loudly.I threw the paper across the room, watching it flutter to the floor like a dying bird. My chest heaved as five years of suppressed memories came rushing back: the laughter in the hallways, the cold rejection in his eyes, the feeling

THE CLAIM

I hoped it wasn't what I was thinking. I prayed to a moon goddess I hadn't spoken to in years that the sudden, violent pulling my chest was just a small heart attack.But as Jaxson's eyes locked onto mine from the podium, the air became still. The bond didn't just snap, it roared.Please don't feel it. Please let it be a mistake.But the way his knuckles turned white as he gripped the edge of the stone podium told said otherwise. His nostrils flared, taking in my scent; the scent he had once mocked, now intensified by the woman I had become. He felt it. He definitely felt it.For ten agonizing seconds , the future Alpha of the Silver Ridge looked like he'd seen a ghost. The whole pack started to murmur, sensing the sudden spike in his scent."Jaxson?" his whispered, nudging him.Jaxson blinked, his nostrils flaring as he drank in my scent from across the room. Just one more hour I told myself, my fingers digging into my palms. The ceremony is over. The party starts. Then I fade out

STUCK IN THIS NIGHTMARE

JAXON'S POV"The search is over!" I said to the crowd. "Ava Thorne is your Luna!"I suddenly began to hear whispers explode all over the room."Ava? The one who ran away?""The weakling? She’s the Luna?""Look at her... she doesn't even have a pack mark." Ava didn't scream. She didn't cry. She just looked at me with a hatred so pure it was beautiful. Then, before I could react, she lunged forward, grabbed my tie, and hauled me toward the side office."Move," she hissed.I followed her, my wolf purring at her aggression. The second the door slammed shut, she exploded."Are you mad?!" she screamed, her voice cracking the heavy silence of the room. "Are you absolutely, out of your mind, insane, Jaxson?"I didn't answer. I couldn't. Up close, without the pack watching, she was devastating. Her chest heaved with every breath, the silk of that dress straining against her breasts, dipping so low I could see the rapid pulse in her throat."I had a life!" she yelled. The slit in her dr

NO WAY OUT

"Go to hell, Jaxson."I didn't even have time to blink before the world tilted. Jaxson lunged forward, his shoulder slamming into my stomach as he lifted me into the air."Jaxson! Put me down! You arrogant, overbearingg son of a—"I hammered my fists against his back and swung my legs uselessly in the air. The guards didn't dare look at us, their heads bowed as their Alpha passed by with his trashing, screaming mate.He tossed me into the back seat of the lead SUV, the locks clicking nefore I could even try to escape.The drive was a suffocating silence. My phone buzzed in my pocket; once, twice, five times. I didn't need to look a the screen to know who it was.Liam. The man waiting for me in the city. He was probably worried about me. I barely answered his calls throughout the trip.The moment we got to the pack house, my stomach dropped. The place still looked annoyingly the same. We used to train as kids, I'd peep Jaxson by the bushes during his special training. I growned at my

THE LUNA HE BOUGHT

I stood in the center of the Alpha suite, staring at that white lace dress on the bed like it was a pile of ash. It looked like a gothic dress from the 80s.My skin still felt cold from where his fingers had clamped around my wrist earlier. I paced the room, my heels clicking sharply against the hardwood.I stormed out of the room, trying to start another war.Instead, I saw my parents."Ava?" my mom called out, relief flooding her voice."I know, he threatened to exile you. I can't believe he'd do that to two of the oldest pack members.""Ava, listen to me," my mother pleaded, stepping forward " We had to sign the contract. We saw the way he looked at you at the coronation. We felt the power of the bond. You can't run from fate.""Wait, wait. You did what?" I turned to my father. "Jaxson threatened to exile you! That's the only reason I'm still in thid miderable town."My father shook his head slowly, his eyes full of a pity that made me want to scream. "He didn't have to threaten

GETTING MARRIED

I opened the door and walked out.Jaxson was leaning against the opposite wall, his arms crossed over his massive chest, his foot tapping impatiently. When he looked up, the smug expression he'd been wearing didn't just fade, it vanished into a void of pure shock.His eyes raked over the shredded lace of the dress, but then they climbed higher, staring at the raw edges of hair I had cut. I watched the color drain from his face, just the way I had pictured it. "What," he started, his voice a low, vibrating growl. "did you do?""I fixed it," I said, my voice steady, even as my heart was racing. "I adored Luna Melissa, Jaxson. But don't you ever mistake your mother for me. If you want a Luna, you'll get your Luna."He moved so fast, I didn't even see him.I only felt the rush of cold air beforre he slammed his hand into the wall beside my head, leaving us only inches apart."You think this is funny?"He grabbed a handful of my uneven hair, pulling my head to the back until I was forced t

THE BREAKUP

The room felt like I tomb. There was no way I could go out without being unnoticed. I knnew he was watching. I knew if I tried to use the phone, he would hear me. I stood at the window, staring out at the dark dense tree line. Somewhere out there, Liamm was risking everything to save me.I have to get to him, I thought. I have to tell him to run.I didn't have a plan, just a fantic, desperate instict. The window. It was my only exit. I didn't think, I just let the girl I had been holding back for five years take over.My bones cracked and reformed, a painful, familiar heat surging through my veins as I tumbled onto the grass below. Jaxson was probably going to catch me, but it was a risk I was willing to take.I picked up Liam's scent after running for more than five minutes. I was a little rusty, but I was a able to find him. Shiting back was agonizing, my skin knitting together as I gasped for air, collapsing onto cold dirt. I was shivering, completely naked and exposed. Forgot abou

THE ALPHA'S LUNA

The walk back to mansion felt like forever. I stayed limp in Jaxson's arms, my face buried in the silk lining of his coat. I didn't want to see the trees, the dirt, or his face! I didn't want to be see anything that reminded me of the girl who had been free just an hour ago.Finally I could see the mansion ahead. The guards at the entrance didn't even blink as their alpha carried a naked, trembling woman through the front doors. They simply bowed."I can walk now," I whispered as we reached the staircase. "No, you can't," Jaxson replied. His voice wasn't angry anymore, it was possessive. He held me tighter, his fingers digging into my hip through the heavy coat. "You've had your fun for the night, Ava. From now on, you stay exactly where I put you."He didn't take me back to my room. He took me to his.The door clicked shut, and I swallowed nothing. He set me down on the edge of his massive,cold bed. I clutched his coat around me, staring at the floor."Tomorrow morning, the stylists

THE ALPHA’S CLAIM

JAXSON’S POVThe Great Hall of the Silver Ridge estate was a cathedral of stone, shadows, and the scent of over a thousand predators. They stood in silence, a sea of dark suits and glowing eyes, waiting for the moment their Alpha would finally take a mate and solidify the bloodline.I didn’t care about the bloodline. I didn’t care about the Council members sitting in the front row with their judgmental stares and their ledgers. My focus was entirely on the heavy oak doors at the end of the long, candlelit aisle.I was restless. My wolf was pacing behind my ribs, his claws dragging against my soul. He wasn't looking for a Luna; he was looking for her. He wanted to claim the girl who had dared to jump out of a window to escape us. He wanted to punish her for the scent of that human boy that still lingered in the back of my mind, a bitter sting of jealousy I refused to acknowledge.Then, the doors groaned open.The air in the room didn't just shift; it vanished. For a heartbeat, it f

THE WEDDING NIGHT

AVA'S POVThe doors clicked shut, sealing us into the Alpha’s suite. I felt the weight of the emerald on my finger, a cold reminder of the blood I’d spilled at the altar. I expected a confrontation. I expected Jaxson to finally drop the act and show me the monster beneath the suit.I didn't expect the audience.I wasn't ready for Cassandra.She was draped across the silk sheets of our wedding bed like she was the one who had just spent three hours at an altar. Cassandra Williams, A.K.A the girl who had made my high school years a living hell, the "queen" who had always looked down her nose at the "ragged wolf girl." She was wearing a lace robe that probably cost more than it should, and her eyes sparkled with a triumphant light."Ava," she purred, her voice like honeyed poison. "You look... tired. The dress is a bit much, don't you think?"I turned to Jaxson, my heart hammering a frantic rhythm against my ribs. "What is she doing here?"Jaxson didn't even look at me. He was bu
