Chapter 1: The Wedding He Ruined

MeredithAlarick's phone rang before the priest could finish binding us.Buzz. Buzz.I knew that ringtone, and so did everyone else in the hall as it meant one person and one person alone.Clover.My hand tightened around the bouquet, white roses crushing beneath my grip until the ribbon bit into my palm. Alarick's fingers were still laced with mine, but I felt the moment his grip loosened. He glanced down at his pocket.The priest kept speaking, the Bloodmoon Pack kept watching, and I kept standing there like I hadn't already lived different versions of this moment for five years. Clover calls, Alarick runs, and I forgive him. The pattern was so familiar it made my chest ache."Alarick," I whispered.He didn't look at me, but his jaw tightened as he pulled his hand free. The cool air rushed between our palms. He answered the call right there in front of the priest and his entire pack."What's wrong?" His voice dropped low, but the hall had gone quiet enough that everyone heard him an

Chapter 2: The Bride Who Left

MeredithI walked through the front door of the mansion still wearing the wedding dress Alarick had left me in, no veil, no bouquet, and no groom trailing behind me. The staff froze when they saw me, their eyes widening as they took in the ruined train dragging across the marble floor and the tear stains I hadn't bothered to wipe away. I didn't stop to explain or acknowledge their stares. I went straight upstairs to the room we’d shared since I moved into Bloodmoon three years ago, my heels clicking against the steps with each determined stride.The door clicked shut behind me, and I pulled my suitcase out from under the bed with more force than necessary.Thud.I threw it onto the mattress and started packing. Clothes first, then shoes, then everything else I could reasonably fit without caring about organization or neatness. The room was full of him in ways that made my throat tight. Framed photos on the dresser showed us laughing at pack gatherings, his jacket still hung on the ba

Chapter 3: The Arrangement I Ran From

MeredithThe Benic estate looked exactly the way I remembered it. Grand iron gates, sprawling gardens that someone else maintained, and the main house rising three stories high with windows that caught the late afternoon sun. I'd grown up here, spent eighteen years learning how to be the perfect daughter of House Benic, and then I'd left it all behind for Alarick.Coming back felt like admitting I'd made a mistake.Hayley pulled up to the front entrance and killed the engine. She looked at the house, then at me, her expression somewhere between concern and barely contained anger."You don't have to do this," she said. "You can stay with me. My apartment's small, but it's better than whatever's waiting for you in there.""I need the arrangement." I unbuckled my seatbelt and reached for the door handle. "It's the only way to stabilize my wolf without crawling back to Alarick.""Your father's a bastard, Mer.""I know." I pushed the door open and stepped out onto the gravel driveway. "But

Chapter 4: What Is Your Name?

MeredithSix days had passed since I agreed to the arrangement, and I still didn't know the Alpha's name.I'd spent those days imagining every possible kind of man my father could have hidden from me. Old and desperate for an heir. Cruel and looking for someone he could control. Politically dangerous enough that saying his name out loud would have made me refuse. Each version I created in my mind was worse than the last, and none of them made me feel any better about what I'd agreed to.Today was the formal introduction, and I still had no idea who I was about to meet.I stood in front of my bedroom mirror, adjusting the dark green dress I'd chosen for the meeting. It was elegant without being romantic, formal without looking like I was trying too hard. I refused to look broken in front of another Alpha, even if I felt like I was barely holding myself together.My wolf stirred weakly in the back of my mind, restless and aware that this meeting could decide our future. She'd been quiet

Chapter 5: The Rogue Alpha’s Bride

MeredithKieran Croft.The name wouldn’t stop repeating in my head. Stories came with it, the kind whispered across territories when people thought no one important was listening. The Rogue Alpha. The leader of Silverthorn who’d been accused of betraying the coalition. The man other packs avoided speaking about too loudly because his reputation alone made Alphas careful and on guard.My father had let me sign the documents, seal the blood oath, and bind myself to this arrangement before telling me the truth.I sat across from Kieran in the private hall, trying to keep my breathing steady while my mind raced through every rumor I’d ever heard about him. Most of them painted him as dangerous, ruthless, and unpredictable. None of them made me feel better about what I’d just agreed to.“You knew.” My voice came out sharper than I intended. “You knew my father hadn’t told me who you were.”Kieran’s expression stayed controlled, but something shifted in his eyes. Something colder, though
