A Shadow

Chapter OneThe scent of garlic and rosemary filled the kitchen of the Alpha’s estate. Nora moved with a practiced grace, her eyes focused on the searing pan. She had been standing for four hours, making sure every detail of the dinner was perfect. It wasn't just any dinner. It was the night of the Blood Moon Feast, the one night a year where the Alpha and Luna were supposed to reaffirm their bond in front of the high-ranking members of the pack.She adjusted the silk apron over her dress. Her heart hammered against her rib. She just wanted one smile from him. Just one look that didn't feel like a condemnation."You're still trying? It's almost pathetic at this point."Nora didn't have to turn around to know who it was. River, Kashton’s younger sister, stood in the doorway. She leaned against the frame, her arms crossed over her chest. Her eyes were full of the same disdain that most of the Blackwood family carried for Nora."The Alpha needs to eat before the ceremony, River," Nora sa

Third Party of a Love Story

Chapter TwoThe ballroom of the Blood Moon Pack was a sea of gold and black. Every high-ranking wolf was there, their scents mingling in a thick, suffocating cloud of power and judgment. Nora stood at the edge of the dais, her fingers digging into the silk of her skirt. She was the Luna, the female Alpha of this pack, yet she felt like a common Omega waiting for scraps.Kashton stood three feet away from her. He hadn't spoken a word to her since they arrived. He was busy greeting the elders, his posture commanding and regal. "You look like you're about to faint," River whispered, appearing at Nora's side with a glass of champagne. "It’s embarrassing. Pull yourself together before you make the Blackwood name a laughingstock.""I'm fine, River," Nora said."Are you? Because the way you're staring at Kashton is desperate. Even the pups can smell your thirst for his attention. It’s pathetic." River took a slow sip of her drink, her eyes scanning the crowd. "Oh, look. The main event is he

Last Sacrament

Chapter ThreeThe air in the Alpha’s study was filled with the scent of charred parchment. Nora stood in the center of the room, her hands trembling as she looked at the silver basin on the floor. Inside were the ashes of the Ancestral Ledger—the sacred records of the Blackwood lineage.Beside the basin lay a silver lighter. Her silver lighter, a gift from her father."I didn't do it, Kashton. I was in the kitchen. I didn't even know the study was open."Kashton didn't look at her. He stood by the window, his back a wall of solid, unforgiving muscle. "The guards found you running from the wing, Nora. River saw you throw the lighter into the basin. Why? Because Maeve touched the book earlier? Because you wanted to erase the history you’ll never truly be a part of?""River is lying!" Nora’s voice cracked. "She’s been trying to push me out since the moment Maeve stepped foot on this soil. Please, look at me."Kashton turned. His eyes weren't just cold; they were dead. "I have looked at

King of the North

Chapter FourThe rain was pouring heavily.Deluca stood at the edge of the Blackwood border, his boots sinking into the thick, churned mud of the neutral zone. His charcoal coat was drenched, clinging to the broad, heavy muscle of his shoulders. Behind him, his Beta, Ryder, and his lead scout, Devron, waited in silence."We’ve been out here for three weeks, Alpha," Ryder said, his voice straining against the wind. "The scent ended at the river. If she was here, the storm has washed her away by now. Maybe the Moon Goddess isn't ready for you to find her."Deluca stormy blue eyes were fixed on the dark tree line of the Blood Moon territory. For years, he had felt the hollow ache in his chest—a phantom limb of a bond that had never been filled. He was the Alpha of the Northern Ridge, a man who had conquered every rival and stabilized a dying pack, yet he was an Alpha without a Luna."She’s here," Deluca rumbled. His voice was deep, a low frequency that seemed to vibrate in the very earth

The Masking

Chapter FiveThe fireplace in the Alpha’s private chambers crackled, the orange light dancing across the walls like a restless spirit. Deluca stood by the hearth, the small, blood-stained scrap of parchment between his fingers feeling heavier than a mountain.He looked toward the bed where Nora lay, her breathing shallow, her face still pale against the dark fur throws. He knew the ritual. It was an ancient, cruel way to hunt. As long as Kashton’s mark remained on her—even a fading, rejected one—it was like a beacon. They didn't even need to cross the border to kill her; they could drain her spirit from afar."Alpha?"Deluca turned to see Rex standing by the door. The warrior's eyes were fixed on the note."It’s a death warrant, Rex," Deluca said, his voice a low, dangerous rumble."They aren't just letting her go. They want her soul back to satisfy the Blood Moon’s pride. They’re calling it a ritual sacrifice.""You can’t let that happen," Rex said, his jaw tightening."But if the Co

The Offer

Chapter SixNora woke to the smell of rain, sandalwood, and freshly brewed coffee.She blinked against the morning light filtering through the heavy drapes. The bed felt empty, but the sheets were still warm. She brought a hand to her neck. The skin there was tender, throbbing with a dull, heavy ache, but it wasn’t the cold, hollow pain of rejection. It was a brand. Deluca’s mark.Her wolf purred in her chest, a sound she hadn't felt in five years."You're staring at the ceiling like it has answers."Nora jumped. Deluca was leaning against the doorframe, fully dressed in a crisp black suit, looking every inch the ruthless Alpha he was. His blue eyes were dark, tracking her every movement."I didn't hear you," she whispered, pulling the thick fur blanket up to her chest."I've been watching you sleep for twenty minutes." He pushed off the frame and walked slowly toward the bed. "You look beautiful in my sheets, Nora. You smell like me, too."A deep blush crept up her neck. "Deluca, la

Brother's Game

Chapter SevenNora’s heart skipped a beat.The heat she had felt from the man’s back instantly turned into a layer of frost against her skin. She stumbled backward, her hand went instinctively to her throat, her fingers brushing the bandage that hid Deluca’s fresh, pulsing mark.The man before her didn’t move. He stood with a casual, predatory grace, his hands shoved deep into the pockets of his tailored charcoal trousers. He was a mirror image of the man who had claimed her the night before—the same broad shoulders, the same obsidian hair. But those eyes… They were a toxic, electric green that seemed to glow in the dim light of the study."Who are you?" Nora whispered, her voice trembling.The man let out a low, dry chuckle. "Didn’t my brother tell you he had a twin? Typical Deluca. He likes to keep the messy parts of his life hidden."He took a step forward, and Nora took a step back, her spine hitting the cold stone of the fireplace mantel."I'm George," he purred, his voice a smo

Heat of the Ridge

Chapter EightAfter George’s cryptic visit, Nora spent most of it in the kitchen, the one place where the chaos of the Northern Ridge seemed to fade into the background. She was elbow-deep in flour, trying to recreate her mother’s honey-bread recipe. It was her way of grounding herself, a small piece of normalcy in a world that was moving too fast."You're doing it wrong," a small voice piped up from the doorway.Nora turned, wiping a smudge of flour from her cheek with the back of her hand. A tiny pup, maybe four years old, stood there with his thumb in his mouth and a messy shock of dark hair. She remembered him, Deluca seems to be fond of him.Calais, the son of one of the pack healers."Am I?" Nora smiled, her heart softening. "And how do you do it, Calais?""My mama says you have to fold it, not squish it," the boy said, stepping closer. He looked at her with wide, curious eyes. "You’re really pretty. You look just like Tiana on the Zagran Show."Nora laughed, a genuine, light s

Silent

Chapter NineDeluca didn't pull away immediately. He took his time, his thumb dragging slowly across Nora’s lower lip before he finally turned his head. His arm remained locked around her waist, anchoring her to his side so tightly she could feel the frantic thrum of his heart against her ribs.Lord Sanchez stood like a statue of judgment, his face a deep, mottled purple. Beside him, Valencia looked like she had just stepped off a pedestal. Her white dress was pristine, her dark hair falling in perfect waves, but her eyes were twin daggers aimed straight at Nora’s throat."I expected many things from the Alpha of the Northern Ridge," Sanchez said, his voice trembling with suppressed rage."But to find you rutting against a pantry door with a piece of Blood Moon trash while my daughter waits for you? It’s an insult to my lineage.""Get out of my kitchen, Sanchez," Deluca said. His voice was too calm. It was the kind of calm that preceded a massacre."Oh, let him stay, Papa," Valencia i

The Stranger

Chapter TenKashton stared at his reflection in the full-length mirror, his fingers fumbling with the silk tie around his neck. His black suit was tailored to perfection, hugging his broad shoulders and highlighting the sharp, lethal lines of his jaw. The tattoos on his hands—dark, intricate ink that marked his victories and his sins—peaked out from beneath his white cuffs.But his eyes were hollow.He had expected to feel a sense of triumph by now. He had the pack he wanted, the power he craved, and the woman he had chosen to replace the "plain" Nora. So why did he feel like a stranger in his own skin?"Kashton, darling, are you almost ready? The reservation is for eight, and you know how I hate to be kept waiting."Maeve leaned against the doorframe, her presence a sharp contrast to the quiet, grounding energy Nora used to bring into the room. Maeve was wearing a dress that was barely there, a shimmering gold number that screamed for attention. Her scent—heavy jasmine and expensive
