Chapter 1

IVY"Someone! Help!" My voice, already raw, tore from my throat. "Please!"But no answer came.My screams turned into broken sobs. "Please, the room is on fire! This door, opens only from the outside! My mother... my mother is sick! She can’t breathe! Please!"I turned back to her, lying motionless on the charred mattress, her head dangling, her chest barely rising. Smoke circled around her like a noose, waiting to tighten."No—no!" I rushed back and grabbed her arms, dragging her away from the flames that now began licking at the hem of her gown. Her body, thin and frail from weeks of illness, sagged heavily in my arms. My tears streamed freely, stinging my smoke-filled eyes.Why now? Was this how we were going to die? Not after everything she’d endured. Her strength, her dignity, stolen by those who once called her Luna. She, the rightful daughter of the late Alpha, should have reigned with respect, not been tossed aside like filth. My father, her own mate, betrayed her, stripped he

Chapter 2

IVYAlpha Vladimir’s words, "You will do as I say" still echoed in my ears as a shiver traveled down my spine. I swallowed hard, his touch lingering like a bruise seared into my memory.Without a word, he turned and left. The sound of his boots on the floorboards a physical blow, each thudding step a weight pressing the air from my lungs. I just remained there, my heart hammering a wild rhythm against my ribs, like a bird suddenly freed in a cage too small to fly.What was that strange sensation? That tingling that had swept through me when he touched my chin. Was it fear? Hatred? Or something else entirely?I didn’t have time to make sense of it.The man in black, still inside the burning room, stepped closer. Unlike his Alpha, he hadn’t turned to leave. No, he was here to carry out the order. To take my unconscious mother and me away like sacks of grain.My stomach twisted in dread.I couldn’t let that happen. My eyes flicked to the weapon at his side. He was armed. If I could just

Chapter 3

VLADIMIRThe scent of blood still clung to me; a sweet, metallic perfume of victory. The cheers of my pack echoed faintly, distant and irrelevant. As I stepped from the car, I didn’t acknowledge Craig’s bowed head or his eager praise.I was an Alpha, not a king in need of worship. My presence alone was enough.Jax, my wolf, was restless in my mind, not with celebration, but with fixation. A memory flashed. Silver eyes, wide with confidence and fear. The battlefield had been loud. But in that moment, it fell into silence.I remembered it too clearly. I’d shot a Risemoon warrior and his body dropped with a heavy thud. Then I saw her. Dark-haired, wearing a thin gown. Standing protectively in front of her frail mother.Her silver eyes locked with mine.And then came the pull. That invisible, burning chain that tightened around my soul."Mate," Jax whispered, his tail wagging in excitement that made my stomach churn.Fury erupted in my chest, hotter than any bloodlust I’d ever felt. No. T

Chapter 4

VLADIMIRShe turned to her side and it was then she noticed the unconscious, bleeding women.She shrank back, visibly horrified.At that moment, I sent a mindlink to my Beta, Tom, instructing him precisely. I wanted everyone else out. I needed her alone with me. No distractions, no support. Just my presence, heavy and suffocating.I turned to Craig and said coldly, "Dispose of the bodies.""Sure," Craig replied.He and the other guards filed out of the room.She turned back to me, her voice trembling. "They did nothing wrong. They shouldn’t have been killed. Is this how you go around murdering innocent people?""Yes," I replied flatly.I could almost hear the air escape her lungs as she gasped."Now, unless you want to end up like them, you better seal your mouth shut."She fell silent.The air thickened, tension swelling in the room until the very walls seemed to press inward. It was too quiet, so quiet I could feel the bond between us crackling, its pull unbearable.The Elders of th

Chapter 5

IVYThe car stopped in front of a tall building. Large, raised letters mounted on the wall read: Mancini Healing Hall. The pack hospital.I stepped out of the car. Craig followed suit and led me inside. As we reached the reception, I noticed a few Mancini Pack members lingering there.A small child walked up to me and said softly, "Miss, are you also here to get treated?"I looked down at myself. My gown was dirty and partially burned, my hands bruised and scraped.Yeah, I looked exactly like someone who needed treatment.Suddenly, a woman rushed over and yanked the child away. She hissed, "Don’t go near her."The other pack members at the reception stared at me with suspicion, some even with visible rage in their eyes. I didn’t carry their pack scent. I understood. If the situation were reversed, if a stranger had entered the Risemoon Pack like this, we would have reacted the same.Craig quickly led me away from the reception desk.We walked down the hall until we stopped in front of

Chapter 6

IVYHis presence felt like a hand closing around my throat, squeezing the air out of me. A shiver slid down my spine. Only after that did Vladimir step back and storm out of the ward. I swallowed a heavy, fearful gulp and eased myself down onto the floor, trying to breathe in as much as I could.Fear crept in like something cold. Uncle Amos, the one person who might have been my escape, had failed me. Now I was truly stuck with this Vladimir as my Alpha. To think I signed the contract.I swallowed again, harder this time.Footsteps approached. I looked up and my face met Craig’s.My state did not faze him. He did not bat an eye. He simply said, "Alpha Vladimir requests that you leave the hospital premises and prepare for tomorrow."I knew what he meant. The contract said the wedding was tomorrow.I stayed on the floor, tears pricking at my eyes. "No, I am not marrying that monster."Craig said, "Alpha Vladimir insists I drag you out if you refuse. Is that what you prefer, Miss Ivy?"I

Chapter 7

VLADIMIRFor the sake of the plan I had in mind, I married the daughter of my enemy. The ring that now bit into my finger felt like a brand pressed against my skin. The wedding ceremony was over. What remained was drinking and a show of celebration, though it felt hollow.I had no intention of siring an heir with the last descendant of the moon goddess, who turned out to be my enemy's daughter. My plan was to pretend I intended to, to placate the elders, and then quietly cast aside their faith in the prophecy.I do not believe in rings, and yet I wore one. The elders would likely think I had finally settled down and was preparing for a pup, since I had been mateless and without pups. Their faces in the hall, however, betrayed more doubt than delight.An elder approached and murmured, "The daughter of the Risemoon pack Alpha? Is that who you just bonded yourself to?""Yes," I replied. "As long as the prophecy is fulfilled and no calamity befalls the pack. Isn't that all that matters?"

Chapter 8

VLADIMIRIvy shot me a filthy look. I scooped her up and settled her into the car. She flung herself through the other door, collapsing to the floor again. The whole time she moaned, trying to gather strength."And now she is crawling away," I scoffed.Growing more irritated, I hauled her up and pulled her hand toward me. Then I shoved her into the seat while still holding her wrists. She groaned and writhed, dragging her hands wildly to wrench free from my hold. I tightened my grip on her wrists.Craig clicked the doors shut and put the car in motion."Let me go!" she screamed.I kept my hold on her wrists. Without warning she swung a foot at my face. I ducked and her foot brushed my hair instead. She groaned and slumped back into the seat, obviously aiming with her other foot.Before that foot reached me I released her hands. I seized both of her feet and planted them firmly across my knees."Let go!" she groaned, squirming like a child throwing a tantrum to escape a scolding.Now h

Chapter 9

VLADIMIRThe desk was cluttered with land and resource allocation papers from the Risemoon pack, all stamped with seals of ownership that were now mine to control. The ink still smelled faintly metallic, as if the pages themselves despised my touch.A sharp knock rattled through the heavy oak door."Come in," I said, not looking up.I already knew who it was. Tom. My Beta. I had summoned him, after all.The door opened, hinges groaning, and his presence filled the room with the scent of pine and iron. His eyes swept over the shelves and the maps pinned to the wall, but when his gaze snagged on the black tuxedo draped neatly across a chair, his expression shifted. His jaw tightened, his shoulders stiffened; a silent tension radiating through the air."I assumed the rumors weren’t true," he said. His tone carried disappointment, but beneath it boiled anger."What rumors?" I asked, though I already knew where this was going.A muscle ticked in his jaw."That Alpha Vladimir married the da

Chapter 10

VLADIMIR The word seer crash-landed into my mind like a stone shattering glass. I had never believed in that man, Norman. Others whispered about his visions, swore by his psychic abilities, but I only saw a parasite. He had appeared in our pack after my parents’ deaths, cloaked in pity, feigning the role of a weary traveler seeking refuge. Shelter turned into influence. Before long, he had wormed his way into the hearts of my people, feeding them his riddles and shadows. One of those absurd prophecies had shackled me to Ivy in marriage."You do know that seer is dubious and fake," I said, my voice edged with disdain."Alpha, he’s the only choice we’ve got," Tom muttered. His eyes flicked away, unwilling to meet mine. I followed his gaze. The beds. The warriors stretched across them, their bodies stiffening, their skin pale, blood drying like rust at the corners of their mouths. Cold. Gone."Bleeding from every opening isn’t normal, Alpha," Tom pressed, his tone weighted with unease.
