MelissaI ran into my chamber and slammed the door behind me with enough force to rattle the frame. My hands were shaking as I wiped the tears from my face and tried to catch my breath but the sobs kept coming in waves that I couldn't control. I pressed my back against the door and slid down to the floor while my chest heaved with the weight of everything that had just happened.Property. He had called me property in front of his son and the entire household staff like I was a piece of furniture he had purchased at a market.I stayed there for a moment and let myself cry until my throat was raw and my eyes burned. Then I forced myself to stand up and look around the room that had become my prison. The expensive furniture and silk sheets meant nothing when I was locked in here every night like a criminal. The beautiful dresses hanging in the closet were just costumes I wore to play the role of Luna while everyone knew I was nothing more than a slave.I had no worth here. My boyfriend K

BristonMelissa's eyes closed again and her body went limp on the bed. I checked her pulse quickly and felt relief wash over me when I found it still beating steadily beneath my fingers. She had just passed out from the pain and exhaustion.I sat back in the chair beside the bed and stared at her pale face while I waited for Elder Morgana, the pack’s healer to arrive. The minutes dragged by like hours and every second felt like an eternity. I kept checking the window for any sign of the guards returning and jumping at every sound in the hallway.Finally, after what felt like forever, I heard a soft knock on the barricaded door."Briston, it's Morgana," a gentle voice called from the other side. "Let me in child."I moved the dresser away from the door and opened it just enough to let the elderly woman slip inside. She was carrying a leather bag filled with medical supplies and her face was creased with concern when she saw Melissa lying on the bed."Oh dear," Morgana whispered as she

MelissaThe sound of Briston screaming at someone jolted me awake and I opened my eyes to find myself staring at an unfamiliar ceiling. My entire body throbbed with pain and for a moment I couldn't remember where I was or what had happened.Then the memories came flooding back in violent flashes. Draven, the fight and his monstrous wolf tearing into my shoulder."Where am I?" I whispered as I tried to sit up.Pain exploded through my ribs and I gasped and fell back against the pillows. My shoulder felt like it was on fire and every breath sent sharp stabs through my chest. I heard footsteps approaching quickly and then Briston appeared at my side.The moment our eyes met I felt something I couldn't explain. It was like a magnetic pull that made my entire body lean toward him even though I was lying down. My wolf Mia stirred in my mind and reached out tentatively toward his wolf.“Mate,” she whispered with certainty. “He's our mate.”I tried to shove the thought down immediately becaus

BristonI heard the screams from halfway down the corridor and every muscle in my body tensed with rage. Melissa's voice echoed through the fortress walls begging for help and the sound made Gorne roar inside my mind with fury that threatened to tear me apart from the inside.I knew what was happening. My father was in her chambers and she was screaming because he was forcing himself on her while she was still broken and bleeding from the fight earlier. The mate bond between us flared hot and painful in my chest like someone had driven a knife straight through my heart.I stopped walking and pressed my hand against the wall to steady myself. The pain was overwhelming and I could feel every ounce of her terror and agony through the connection we shared. My wolf wanted to burst through the door and rip my father's throat out but I knew that would only get both of us killed.“She's married to him,” I reminded myself through gritted teeth. “There's nothing I can do.”"Help me!" Melissa sc

BristonI slammed my bedroom door so hard that the frame rattled and a picture fell off the wall. My hands were shaking with rage and I had to press my palms against the wood to stop myself from punching straight through it. Why was my father doing that to my mate? Why couldn't I protect her?The mate bond was killing me. Every time he touched her I felt it like acid burning through my veins. Every time she stood behind his chair in pain I wanted to rip his throat out with my bare hands. But I was powerless and that made everything so much worse.I paced my room for several minutes trying to calm down before I did something stupid. Gorne was howling in my mind demanding that we go back down there and claim what was ours. But I pushed him down and forced myself to think clearly.I needed information. I needed to understand who Melissa really was before I could figure out how to help her.I sat down at my desk and pulled out the folder where I had saved all the data from her phone. I op
