Chapter 1: His Guilty Eyes

Azerbel had waited a whole year for her mate to come home.When Guerero finally appeared in the distance, she should have been the happiest woman in the Hellfire Pack.Instead, something inside her whispered that something was wrong."I see them!"Luna Lorraine grabbed Azerbel's hand.Azerbel quickly looked toward the road.The returning warriors were coming.Families crowded around the entrance of the pack, but no one moved yet. After months of fear and uncertainty, everyone seemed afraid to believe their loved ones were truly coming home.Tears already filled Lorraine's eyes.Azerbel squeezed her hand."I see them too, Mom."Calling Lorraine Mom still touched something deep inside Azerbel.Before coming to Hellfire, she had known what it was like to have no real family or home. Lorraine had changed that when she welcomed Azerbel into her life.Then Azerbel found Guerero.Her mate.The man chosen for her by the Moon Goddess.They had barely begun discovering what it meant to belong to

Chapter 2: Belonging to Someone Else

"Who is she?"The question slipped out before Azerbel could stop herself.Her voice trembled.She wanted the answer, but the moment she asked, part of her became afraid to hear it.Luna Lorraine tightened her hold on Azerbel's hand."Let's go back to the pack house first," Lorraine said quietly. "We'll talk later. Guerero must be tired."Azerbel stared at her.Usually, Lorraine's warm voice could calm her.Not this time.There was something in her eyes that Azerbel didn't understand.Sadness.Worry.Maybe even fear."Mother..."Azerbel glanced back at Guerero and the red-haired woman beside him."Who is that woman?"Lorraine didn't answer.She only squeezed Azerbel's hand and gently led her away.Azerbel followed, but after a few steps, she couldn't help looking back.Guerero was still standing where she had left him.His head was lowered and his shoulders were stiff.He looked ashamed.In front of him stood Alpha Dave.The pride on the Alpha's face was gone.Now he looked cold and ang

Chapter 3: Already Gone

Azerbel had imagined Guerero's return a thousand times.Never like this.Never with her mate sitting beside another woman.And never with him about to tell her why."This is Ruby," Guerero said quietly. "The woman I mentioned in my letter."Azerbel's chest tightened.That letter again.She remembered every letter Guerero had sent her during the war. His promises. His stories. The words she had read over and over whenever she missed him.There had been no Ruby.Not once.Guerero swallowed."I..."His hands tightened together.For several seconds, he couldn't continue.Then he finally forced out the words."I will take her as my chosen mate."Everything inside Azerbel went still.Chosen mate?She stared at him.For an entire year, she had waited for this man.Loved him.Prayed for him.Believed every promise he had written to her.And now he was choosing someone else?"What about me?"Her voice came out weak.Guerero flinched.Azerbel saw it, but she didn't care."What am I to you now?"

Chapter 4: Night I Met Him

For a moment, Guerero lowered his head.He looked broken.But Azerbel couldn't feel sorry for him.Not after what he had done."The battle was intense," Guerero said quietly. "You wouldn't understand. You weren't there."His jaw tightened."I was lonely. And you weren't there."Azerbel stared at him.Anger came faster than the pain."So your first thought was to find another woman?"Her voice shook, but she didn't care."You couldn't even wait for me?""Azerbel!"Guerero raised his voice, but there was more frustration than anger behind it."You don't understand how I felt. You weren't the one fighting those lycans. You don't know what it's like to almost die."A tear slipped down Azerbel's cheek.She quickly wiped it away."You're right. I wasn't there."Her voice cracked."But I was waiting for you."Guerero went quiet.Azerbel took a shaky breath."I spent that year trying to become the Luna you could be proud of. I prayed for you every night. I wondered if you were safe, if you wer

Chapter 5: Man Watching Me

For the first time in a week, Azerbel was going to face the pack.And Guerero.She wasn't sure which frightened her more.Luna Lorraine stood in front of her, holding up a beautiful dress."Try this one."Azerbel looked at the dress, then at Lorraine."It'll look perfect on you." Lorraine smiled gently. "I chose this color because it matches your name."Azerbel's chest tightened.It wasn't the dress that hurt.It was the woman holding it.Lorraine had given Azerbel the warmth of a mother when she had never known what having one felt like.That was why learning Lorraine had hidden the truth about Guerero for two months had hurt so much.Azerbel still loved her.But something between them had changed.For a moment, Azerbel remembered the future she had once imagined.Guerero beside her.A family of their own.Lorraine as the mother Azerbel had always wanted.A place where she finally belonged.That future was gone now."I don't think I should go tonight."Lorraine lowered the dress."I k

Chapter 6: He Chose Me First

Azerbel couldn't stop staring at the lycan."How do you know my name?"He didn't answer immediately.His dark eyes remained fixed on her, calm and unreadable.Up close, his presence was even more intimidating. He was taller and broader than most of the werewolves around them, but it wasn't only his size that made Azerbel uneasy.It was the quiet power he carried.People seemed to keep their distance from him without being told.Azerbel swallowed."Who are you?"The lycan pulled out the chair across from her and sat down.Then he asked, "You're Azerbel?"Her stomach tightened."Yes.""The rejected mate of Hellfire's future Alpha?"The words struck harder than she expected.Rejected.Was that what people were calling her now?Azerbel lowered her eyes."I don't know what you've heard about me."The lycan said nothing.He simply watched her.Azerbel became more uncomfortable with every passing second."Who are you?" she asked again.This time, he answered."Genaro."Azerbel froze.Genaro.

Chapter 7: Be My Woman

"I'll speak with her first."Genaro's voice was calm, but there was something firm about it."You can speak to her another time."Guerero's jaw tightened."Alpha Genaro," he said, clearly trying to control his anger. "What do you want with my mate?"Azerbel's chest tightened.My mate.After everything Guerero had done, hearing him call her that still hurt.The bond between them stirred painfully, reminding her that no matter how angry she was, it hadn't disappeared.Genaro looked at Azerbel before turning back to Guerero."Your mate?"His expression remained calm."I thought your mate was the woman carrying your child."Guerero's face darkened."You don't get to say that.""Whether she's my mate or not, it's none of your business who I talk to."Genaro raised an eyebrow."Is that so?"He glanced at Azerbel, almost as if he were waiting for her answer instead.Then he released her hand and stepped back.The warmth of his touch disappeared.Azerbel noticed it immediately.Before she coul

Chapter 8: Little Wolf

Genaro stepped closer."Because there's something I want."Azerbel held his gaze."And you're going to help me get it."She had to tilt her head back to look at him.He was too tall, and standing this close made his presence even more intimidating."What exactly do you want?"Genaro answered as if it were the simplest thing in the world."Be my woman at the party."Azerbel stared at him."Are you serious?"There was no sign that he was joking."Do you even know who I am?""I know."His answer came without hesitation."You're the future Alpha's mate. The woman who was supposed to become Luna of Hellfire."He paused."Or you were."Azerbel looked away.She hated how easily those last three words hurt."I've heard the rumors," Genaro continued. "People talk."At least he wasn't pretending otherwise.By now, Azerbel wouldn't be surprised if half the celebration knew what Guerero had done."If you're trying to provoke Guerero, find someone else."Genaro tilted his head."You think this is a

Chapter 9: I Hate You

Azerbel stared at Genaro's face.The wounds were gone.Only the blood remained on his cheek and shirt.Her stomach twisted.She had attacked the Lycan Alpha.If anyone saw the blood, there would be questions.And if the wrong person decided to make it a political issue, the peace between the packs could suffer.What if this caused another fight?What if people got hurt because of her?"Azerbel?"Genaro's voice pulled her back.He stepped closer."Are you all right?"Azerbel tried to answer.Nothing came out.The fear, anger, and pain she had been holding inside for days finally became too much.She had spent the past week pretending she was fine around Skylar and Luna Lorraine.Pretending she could handle Guerero's betrayal.Pretending she wasn't breaking inside.Now, standing in front of Genaro, she couldn't hold it anymore.Tears filled her eyes.Then they fell.Genaro stared at her."What happened?"Azerbel turned her face away."I'm the one who got hurt."That only made the tears c

Chapter 10: His Hands On Me

Azerbel stared at Genaro."How shameless are you?"His eyebrows lifted."It's hard to believe you're actually an Alpha."Instead of getting angry, Genaro smiled."That was an insult."His voice remained calm."In my pack, people have lost their tongues for less."Azerbel's stomach tightened.She couldn't tell if he was joking.With Genaro, that was becoming a problem.She decided not to test him."Where are you taking me?"He didn't answer.They continued walking until a large mansion appeared ahead.Azerbel recognized it immediately.It was the residence given to the lycans during their stay in Hellfire territory.Her steps slowed."You're taking me there?"Genaro glanced at her."Where else?"Azerbel stopped."I'm not going into the lycan residence with you.""Why?""Because I barely know you.""And yet you attacked me."She glared at him."Are you going to keep reminding me about that?""Probably."Azerbel sighed.She didn't like this.But she still wanted to know what Genaro was pl
