Chapter 2: The First Heat Lucian carried Riley through the private corridors of the Blackfang Estate like he weighed nothing. The Alpha’s arms were steel bands around his back and thighs, Riley’s legs wrapped instinctively around the bigger man’s waist. Every step made Lucian’s still-swollen knot shift inside him, sending sparks of overstimulation through Riley’s body. Come leaked down his thighs, slick and warm, marking him with the Alpha’s scent for anyone to smell. “You’re shaking,” Lucian murmured against his ear, voice low and rough. His breath was hot on Riley’s freshly bitten neck. “Good. Your heat is already starting. I can smell it on you — sweet, needy, begging to be bred.” Riley’s head lolled against Lucian’s shoulder. “This isn’t real… I’m human. I don’t have heats.” Lucian’s dark chuckle vibrated through both of them. “You do now. My bite changed you. By morning you’ll be dripping for my knot whether you want it or not.” He kicked open the double doors to his private

Chapter 4: Blood Moon Rescue The mating bond screamed like a siren in Riley’s chest. He woke mid-heat to rough hands dragging him from the bed, a cloth pressed over his mouth, and the sharp sting of a sedative in his arm. The guards — Lucian’s own elite wolves — had turned. Their eyes glowed with betrayal and greed as they wrapped his naked, fever-hot body in a dark cloak and carried him through the hidden servant tunnels beneath the Blackfang fortress. “Silverclaw Alpha promised us power,” one of them muttered. “This omega’s womb is worth more than loyalty to Voss.” Riley tried to fight, but the heat and the drug turned his limbs to liquid. His hole clenched uselessly, dripping slick down his thighs, the bond pulling desperately toward Lucian. Alpha… they’re taking me… please… The night air hit his skin like ice as they loaded him into a black van at the forest edge. The full moon hung heavy and red above the trees — blood moon. Perfect for war. Perfect for claiming. Miles away

Chapter 6: Poisoned Vows The ceremonial hall of the Blackfang fortress glowed under strings of silver lanterns and the soft light of the waxing moon. Every loyal wolf in the pack stood in perfect formation, watching as Lucian Voss, the Ice King, led his mate down the aisle in a traditional black silk robe that barely concealed the fresh mating bites covering Riley’s neck and shoulders. Riley’s belly had the faintest swell already — barely noticeable to anyone else, but Lucian couldn’t stop touching it, his big hand splayed possessively over the silk every few steps. “You’re carrying my pup,” Lucian had whispered that morning while knotting him slow and deep in their bed. “I can smell it. You smell like me and new life. Mine.” Now, standing before the pack elder under the open sky, Riley’s heart hammered with equal parts joy and terror. The heat had finally broken two days ago, leaving behind this early pregnancy that made his body ache in new, sensitive ways. His nipples were tende

Chapter 8: Bait and Breeding Riley stood in the war tent with his hands protectively over the small but unmistakable swell of his belly, staring Lucian down. The Alpha’s gray eyes were stormy with refusal. “No,” Lucian growled, voice low and dangerous. “You are not walking into their camp pregnant with my pup. I won’t risk you. Or our child.” Riley stepped closer, pressing his body against Lucian’s massive frame. “My sister is dying in there. They have her hooked up to machines just to keep her alive as leverage. If I go in as bait — pretending I’m fleeing you — I can get close enough to free her. The bond will lead you straight to me. Trust me, Alpha. I’m stronger than I look.” Lucian’s hand covered Riley’s belly, feeling the faint flutter of their pup. His jaw clenched so hard Riley heard teeth grind. “If anything happens to either of you…” “It won’t,” Riley whispered, rising on his toes to kiss him. “Because you’ll come for us. Like you always do.” The plan was set for the ne

Chapter 10: Moonborn Legacy The full moon bled crimson over the battlefield as thousands of wolves clashed in a storm of fangs, claws, and howls. Lucian stood at the center of the carnage in his massive shifted form, silver-black fur matted with enemy blood, tearing through the allied packs like a god of war. But his heart was elsewhere. Riley. Through the bond, he felt everything — the searing pain, the power surge, the desperate need. Riley had collapsed behind Blackfang lines when the power fully awakened. His water broke in a rush of slick and fluid, contractions slamming into him like war drums. He was on his knees in the trampled grass, naked, pregnant belly tight and contracting, surrounded by loyal healers and guards. “Push, Omega,” the head healer urged. “The pup is coming fast.” Riley screamed as another contraction ripped through him. “Lucian—where is he—I need him—” A rival Alpha broke through the defensive line, eyes locked on Riley’s exposed, laboring body. “The M
