GORGO LYKAON POV"Dilios, tell me she is safe," I speak into the mind-link, my chest tightening with anxiety as I pace my chamber."Nyra is recovering well in the Lunar Healing Sanctuary, Gorgo. The healing omegas just fed her some restorative moon-broth. The physicians say her beast will be strong enough to return to her den soon. But what about you? Did the Supreme Alpha King punish you last night?""No, I fell straight to sleep the moment I returned to the estate. Alone, obviously.""Of course you slept in a cold bed. Everyone in Sparta Moonhaven knows your union is nothing but a political mating pact. Who would touch the rejected moonborn heiress?""Watch your tongue, Dilios!" I growl, severing the mind-link before his laughter can irritate my wolf further."Why must I paint scars over my perfect golden skin?" I whisper to my reflection, staring at my flawless, high-arched cheekbones and glowing eyes. "To survive the power-hungry wolves of House Argyros, the ugly duckling must rem

GORGO LYKAON POV"We must return the high matriarch to her healing chambers, Leonidas," High Alpha Daxos Argyros announces, his deep voice interrupting our tense silence as he steps into the courtyard. "Her wolf is still too fragile to endure the midday sun.""Take her inside, Uncle Daxos," Leonidas replies, his tone flat and unyielding.I watch the elder wolves guide Grandma back toward the ancient stone manor. Now, only Leonidas and I remain on the winding forest path, surrounded by blooming night-roses."Make him love you, Gorgo," Grandma's parting words echo in my mind, sending a shiver of dread down my spine."Why do you stare at the dirt, future Luna?" Leonidas asks, his towering frame casting a massive shadow over mine. "Is my presence that offensive to your senses?""We have a blood oath reckoning, Leonidas," I whisper, keeping my eyes fixed on the gravel to avoid the dangerous, hypnotic pull of his golden gaze. "You made the boundaries of our contract clear last night. There

GORGO LYKAON POV"What do you like my female, Daniel?"Leonidas's voice drops like a frozen guillotine behind us. I feel his hand wrap around my waist, his claws lightly indenting my skin as he pulls me flat against his massive chest. He is so solid, it feels like slamming into a granite cliff. My nose collides with his collarbone, the fierce pain making my eyes water, but I dare not move."Daniel Argyros, what do you want to do?" I squeeze my palm, my heart hammering against my ribs.Daniel had targeted Nyra so precisely—had he put sentinel spies on my inner circle?"I don't want to do anything," Daniel sneers, though his face pales slightly as he takes in Leonidas's towering, lethal posture. "I just want to make you writhe. I want to make sure your life in this dominion is a living, breathing torment.""You are sick!" I growl, my inner wolf baring its fangs. "I am a rejected moonborn heiress from a fallen pack. Why do you waste your energy on me?""If I offended your beast in the pa

GORGO LYKAON POV"Our sentinel riders intercepted a secondary transmission on the scrying mirror networks," Dilios’s voice cuts through my mind-link, tight with anxiety. "The False Luna Candidate’s faction just blasted public records of the Blackmoon bloodline across the territory. They are painting Nyra as a rogue murderer.""Is she still within the boundaries of the Silverclaw Healing Hall?" I demand, my heart hammering against my ribs."She has retreated to the high terrace," Dilios growls. "But the public shame is spreading. Her sister’s broken pack contracts, her brother’s arrest in the rogue gambling dens—the Lykaon Moonfang Pack is being dragged through the mud. Our elders are screaming treason.""I am arriving now," I sever the connection, staring at Leonidas’s dark profile as he pushes the carriage beasts to their limits.My scrying mirror vibrates violently in my palm. I slide my finger across the glass, and my half-brother’s furious face materializes in the light."Gorgo, w

GORGO LYKAON POV"She fell! The future Luna fell!""Gorgo!" Nyra’s terrified scream echoes from the high ledge of the Silverclaw Healing Hall.I feel the cold wind roaring in my ears as my body plummets toward the stony courtyard below. Is this really how my reawakened life ends? I barely escaped the drowning pool a month ago, and now I am falling to my death.Suddenly, a massive shadow blots out the sun. A figure descends faster than gravity itself.Before my eyes can register his face, a crushing, iron grip clamps around my wrist. The sudden halt jerks my shoulder, making me cry out in pain."Leonidas!" I gasp, looking up into the blinding light."Silence, little wolf," his dominant alpha growl rumbles through the air, sending a physical jolt of electricity straight to my core.He is clinging to the stone ledge of the balcony with one hand, his thick muscles straining under his leather tunic as he holds my entire weight with the other."Bring the climbing ropes! Quick, help the King

GORGO LYKAON POV"Reconcile with me," Leonidas whispers, his low, dark baritone instantly melting my resolve."You..." I breathe, my heart hammering wildly against my ribs. I cannot believe my ears—the Supreme Alpha King is speaking to me in such a tender, raw tone. I thought his inner beast was still furious after last night's cold war."Let the pack conflict go," he murmurs, his heavy palm sliding down my back, pressing my chest flush against his hard, muscular chest.My head spins. Up close, his golden eyes are completely intoxicating, flashing with a primal hunger that demands total submission. My hand instinctively rests on his broad chest, feeling the heavy, rapid thumping of his heart, but my fingers only curl into his tunic rather than pushing him away. Our bodies are burning, matching the fever of the eternal lunar bond starting to ignite between us."Leonidas... ah..."The moment his lips part, he slams his mouth over mine in a bruising, desperate kiss.It feels like a sudde

GORGO LYKAON POV "Did she really just lose her temper like that?" Xiao Na whispers the moment the oak door slams shut, her hurried footsteps echoing down the corridor. "Yeva, you said Gorgo was a cunning viper who was nearly impossible to hunt down."Yeva sits up, the weak, dying act completely vanishing from her face. "She was. When I faced her at the Lykaon Moonkeep, she was as cold and sharp as obsidian. Why did she just scream and run like a mindless pup this time?""She left all these tribute bags!" Xiao Na gasps, rushing to the table. "Look at the crests! These are genuine artisan goods from the high-born merchant quarters! A rejected moonborn b*tch must have drained the Silverclaw Throne's treasury to buy these to beg for your mercy!""She is trying to bribe me to lift the blood feud from her little Blackmoon handmaiden," Yeva sneers, her eyes glittering with greed as she claws at the leather satchels. "These are worth thousands of gold coins! Let's see what the ugly wretch br

GORGO LYKAON POV"He is back!" Wendy exclaims, her claw-tips digging into my arm as she drags me toward the mirror. "The Great Pack Assembly moved the moon feast up because Ross survived his three-year exile in the northern shadow-lands!""Ross is alive?" I ask, my heart hammering against my ribs so hard my wolf whimpers inside me."Yes, you foolish girl!" Wendy snarls, shoving a white silk tunic into my chest. "Now put this on! The Supreme Alpha King expects you downstairs in five minutes, and you look like a ragged rogue!"In my past life, Ross bled out in the snow covering my broken body after the pack turned on me. Knowing he breathes right now, that his pulse still beats in this timeline, turns my throat bone-dry.I hurry down the grand stone staircase of the Alpha Moon Estates, my silver-trimmed hem brushing the cold marble.Leonidas sits on the carved bone throne in the main hall, his dark eyes tracking my every step with a lethal, suffocating intensity that makes my core throb

GORGO LYKAON POVI broadcast the live memory feed straight to the Moonscribe Guild networks, and I honestly do not understand what button I pressed to trigger such absolute hysteria among these noble bloodlines.Is a rejected heiress inspecting an enchanted leather satchel really such a cosmic event?Half the high-born wolves in the store stand frozen in place, holding their breath as if waiting for me to tear down the pillars of the trade hall.Jackson Fangfei does not bother trying on her iron-reinforced boots anymore. She sits back on the plush velvet bench, her pale eyes tracking my every movement with cold disdain.That leviathan-hide bag is the exact relic she was eyeing earlier, but after hearing the price tag, she hesitated to pull her coin purse out.Even within the mighty Argyros Silverclaw Pack, only the direct heirs of the Supreme Alpha King hold unlimited access to the royal vault. Collateral bloodlines still have to count their gold pieces.Fangfei feels like she swallow

I sprinted across the cobblestone plaza outside the central trade hall, my blood pumping fast as my internal wolf stirred with nervous energy.Leonidas’s patience was paper-thin, and if I delayed any longer, he’d either drive off without me or send Stelios Thornfang to drag me through the square by my neck.When I rounded the corner of the stone archway, I froze. Two female wolves were already standing beside the Supreme Alpha's dark, iron-plated carriage."Alpha King, they humiliated us in the market!" Jackson Xianxian wailed, her hands clutching at the carriage window.Leonidas sat reclined in the shadowed interior, a rolled scroll in his hand and a cigar burning between his lips. His dark eyes flickered with absolute indifference, ignoring her frantic babbling completely.Stelios Thornfang stood by the carriage wheel, his hand resting heavy on his sword hilt, looking utterly bored."The Argyros honor was dragged through the mud, Lord Leonidas!" Xianxian pushed on, trying to sound p
