NALANII hummed my favourite song as I bounced on my way to Esme’s room. We had promised to meet up so we could go to town to see the new festival that was happening in the pack. I finally got my father’s approval to leave the pack house, and I didn’t want to waste any more minutes.“… is madness. She would never agree to it,” Mom’s voice rang out as I passed Dad’s office. “She is never supposed to leave the pack. What would happen when they find out who she is?”My legs halted. I knew they were talking about me.“What use is she if they find out? It’s not like we can make use of her powers. It’s better to let them take her. At least, she will bring us protection,” Dad argued coldly in that tone he used when he didn’t want anyone going against his orders.Unease curled in the pit of my stomach. I didn’t need to hear the full conversation to know that I wouldn’t like it.“But we promised to keep her safe,” Mom whispered, defeat creeping into her voice. “How do we even break the news to

NALANI“Lani”, Esme’s timid voice invaded my thoughts as she peeked her head through the bedroom. “Can I come in?" She asked carefully."I sat up with a tired sigh and rubbed my eyes. They were dried and puffy from crying all night. “Yes,” I croaked, my voice raspy from all the crying I did at night.I couldn’t sleep no matter how hard I tried. I had avoided my parents the entire day. I didn’t want to see them unless they wanted to tell me that I didn’t need to get married to Samael anymore.Esme slipped inside, her dark curls bouncing. She took one look at me curled on the window frame, and her face crumpled.“Lani,” she crossed the room and dropped beside me, pulling me into her arms. “You look like hell.”“I feel worse,” I muttered into her shoulders, fighting the urge to cry again. My face felt swollen already.She rubbed slow circles on my back. “I know this feels like the end of the world, but maybe you should be positive. What if life in the Blackthorn pack doesn’t end up as ba

NALANII sat still, trying hard not to fall off the beast as it bounded through the moonlit forest to the Blackthorne pack. I had not expected Samael to ride with me. Maybe he thought I would escape.He had not said a word since we left, but his presence was suffocating. My skin prickled with every touch as his hands controlled the reins from behind me. I wanted to be anywhere but in front of him.I had tried avoiding touching him, but it was impossible. Every jerk of the rein pulled me against him, and the constant growl told me he wasn’t happy with it as well.I forced my mind to go back home so I didn’t have to bother with thinking about his skin on mine.I couldn’t say a proper goodbye because Samael was in a hurry to get back. My mother kept pleading that I forgive her, while Father just said I would be fine. Esme had hugged me so tightly until a glare from one Bloodthorn warrior had her stepping back.I remember how I had squeaked like a little child when Samael suddenly picked

NALANIThe woman before me was stunning in a different way from Amara. Her beauty wasn’t soft like the woman in the image; it was seductive.Her eyes swept over me, hiding irritation behind amusement. “Out of all the options, they chose her? A weakling from a weak pack? She isn’t worthy of being Samael’s Luna,” she spat at last.I froze as the word struck harder than it should have. I sensed the malice she wore like a second skin. I opened my mouth to tell her that I didn’t want the title, that I didn’t want any of this, but…Samael appeared shortly behind her, and there was something that seemed like longing in her eyes before they changed to challenge when she turned back to me. He didn’t touch her, but he was standing too close. There was no way they didn’t have anything between them.Was she a lover perhaps? If she was, why did they bring me instead?She whirled around to face him. “Did you really accept her as your Luna? What about…”“Lilith” Mabel appeared; her expression hard
