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

Meredith Kieran 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,

Chapter 6: The Alpha Who Came Too Late

Meredith The front door opened, and one of the servants stepped into the foyer with Alarick behind him, looking like he already regretted letting the Alpha inside. His eyes found me immediately. He barely glanced at Kieran standing beside me. His focus was entirely on me, like I was still his problem to fix and everyone else was just background noise. "Meredith," he said, his voice carrying that familiar mix of concern and control. "We need to talk." I heard footsteps behind me and turned to see my father emerging from the direction of his study. His expression was carefully neutral, but I caught the way his jaw tightened the moment he saw Alarick in the same room as Kieran. He didn't look surprised but instead looked annoyed. Alarick stepped further into the foyer, and the servant quickly retreated. "I know you're upset," Alarick continued, his attention still locked on me. "But Clover was unstable. She was threatening to hurt herself, and I had no choice but to leave. I came

Chapter 7: The Challenge He Shouldn’t Have Made

MeredithThe foyer went silent after Alarick’s declaration.I felt the weight of the challenge even before I fully understood what it meant. I knew enough about pack customs to know that challenges were serious, binding, and not something thrown around casually.Alarick stood there with his wolf pressing close to the surface, his anger barely controlled beneath the veneer of composure he was trying to maintain. He looked like he expected Kieran to respond with rage or dominance or some kind of power clash that would prove who was stronger.Kieran just looked at him with that same soft, dangerous calm from before.“On what grounds?” Kieran asked.The question was simple, almost polite, but it landed like an insult. Alarick’s jaw tightened visibly.“Meredith was promised to me first,” he said, his voice still controlled but with anger running underneath. “Five years cannot be erased by one angry decision.”Kieran tilted his head slightly, like he was considering the argument. “Was the w

Chapter 8: The Pack That Didn’t Want Me

MeredithKieran’s words hung in the air like a sentence already passed.We leave for Silverthorn at dawn.The arrangement wasn’t just ink and blood and arguments anymore. I was actually going to leave with him. The reality of it settled over the room like weight pressing down on everyone standing there.Alarick’s hands clenched at his sides, his jaw working like he was trying to force words past his anger. “If you leave with him,” he said, his voice tight, “you’re walking into a pack that will never accept you. Silverthorn wolves hate outsiders. And they’ll hate you even more because you were supposed to become Bloodmoon’s Luna.”The words were meant to scare me, but the fury underneath them made it clear he was the one losing control.“Bloodmoon already showed me what it means to be unwanted,” I said calmly. “So don’t pretend you’re warning me out of care.”Alarick’s expression darkened further, but before he could respond, my father stepped forward.“The decision has been made,” Ald

Chapter 9: Before the Gates of Silverthorn

MeredithI settled into the car beside Kieran as the Silverthorn escort moved into position around us. Silas sat in the passenger seat beside the driver, his posture rigid and alert. The Benic estate sat behind us, cold and silent in the early morning light.Alarick had left, but his challenge still hung over everything like a threat waiting to land. The longer we stayed, the more exposed we were.Kieran gave a quiet order. “Move out.”The engine started, and the car began rolling forward down the long driveway.Then someone rushed in front of the vehicle.The driver hit the brakes hard, and I lurched forward against the seatbelt. Silas was out of the car before I could process what was happening, his expression furious.“Are you crazy!?” he snapped.Hayley stood in front of the car with her hand slammed against the hood, breathing hard and looking like she’d run the entire way here. Her red hair was windblown, and her eyes were fierce.“Do you think I would let my best friend leave w

Chapter 10: A Place No One Prepared

MeredithThe car stopped inside Silverthorn’s courtyard, and I stepped out into silence.Guards lined the walls, and pack members stood scattered throughout the space, all watching. No one moved forward to welcome me, or said anything at all. They just watched, silent and uncertain, like they weren’t sure what to make of my presence.Kieran stepped out beside me, and immediately every wolf in the courtyard lowered their heads in respect. The response was instant and unified, the kind of obedience that came from years of earned authority.When I stepped forward, the response changed.Heads stayed lowered, but hesitantly. Eyes shifted toward Kieran first, then back to me, then away. No one seemed sure how to treat me or what acknowledgment I was owed.Silas moved toward the packhouse entrance and spoke to one of the staff members waiting there. “See that Lady Benic is shown inside.”I met Silas’s gaze and kept my voice calm. “Meredith is enough.”I didn’t claim Luna, didn’t demand reco
