Chapter 1

Ayla’s POV The air in the room goes totally still as I stare at my father’s lifeless body, an unreadable expression on my face. I refuse to cry. I refuse to give the pack the satisfaction of seeing me vulnerable — like they always called me. Worthless. Weak. Disgrace. “He is gone my lady. My condolences.” The pack’s healer, Kira, says. I close my eyes, my chest tightening as I fight back the tears burning behind my eyelids. I am all alone now. No family, no one. “Ayla.” I lift my head up at the sound of the very familiar voice. My best friend Elena walks into the room, her eyes filled with sadness. “Lena,” I murmur, sighing deeply. “I am sorry. I am so sorry for your loss. I am here for you,” she says, rubbing my back gently. The pack hates me because I am wolfless. They call me weak, a disgrace. They only tolerate me because I am the late Alpha’s daughter. “My lady, the council elder requests your presence in the grand hall,” a maid announces. “Let me come with you, ok

Chapter 2

Ayla’s POV “Who are you?“ I ask again as the shadow rushes forward, revealing a masked man. Suddenly, a blinding light gleams from my necklace. It is so powerful that the assassin groans in pain before bolting away through the balcony. My chest heaves in absolute terror as I remain pinned against the wall. What the hell just happened? Someone tried to kill me. Why are there no guards around? I have to report this, but who do I report to? With a heavy heart, I drag myself off the wall and take shaky steps back to my room. Stepping into my space, I slam the door shut. My hand reaches up and touches the golden-chained pendant around my neck. This is the only thing I have left of my mother, I never knew it possesses such power. I sit on my bed, my mind fills up with thoughts. Who could have sent the assassin? Who in the pack wants me dead? Was my father’s death just a coincidence? Or is there something else playing behind the scenes? ******************** The noise outs

Chapter 3

Ayla’s POV “Mine!” The word rings in my ears like the frantic sound of a bell. I lift my head up and turn around. A man stands inches away from me — blonde hair, golden eyes, tall and handsome. He dresses in a different manner, and I know instantly that he is not a member of my pack. “Mate!” He growls again. And I am sure this time, it is really my mate. I can’t feel him, but he can feel me. I take slow steps toward him, he does the same, covering the space between us as he grabs me, sniffing down my neck, he murmurs, “It is you.” He releases me and stares deep into my eyes, like he is trying to see into my soul. “I’ve felt you for a long time, but I just couldn’t find you. Little did I know it was because you have been kept behind these tall walls your whole life,” he whispers. His voice is deep and soothing. He is everything I had wished my dream mate would be. “Thank you. Thank you so much for showing up now, my life would have been messed up if you didn’t,” I whis

Chapter 4

*********** The moment the words leave my mouth, it feels like I am being split in halve with a sword. My body trembles, my chest tightening so hard that it is difficult to draw air. I cough up blood again, my body failing as I slump to the ground. Julian is obviously still in pain, but he is a powerful wolf, so he can endure it. They ignore me and carry on with the ceremony. Julian is crowned Alpha, and I am in dire shock when he names Elena his Luna. She steps out of the crowd, her shoes making sharp, echoing clicks against the marble. Stopping right beside me, she crouches down, a low, menacing laugh rolling at the back of her throat, “Oh. Poor thing. To think that you actually believed you will become Alpha. Tsk tsk, pity.” I am already so weak. The pain from the bond severing, the betrayal playing before me now weighs heavily, pressing down against my chest. Still, I clench my jaw, refusing to let a single tear drop. Julian doesn’t just name her his Luna; he marks he

Chapter 5

Ayla’s POV My eyes snap open, my sight blurry as a throbbing headache hit on every part of my head. I close my eyes again, trying to breathe but I cannot draw air. My lungs feel stiff, like it has been clogged, but I force it, sucking in air sharply as my vision suddenly begins to clear. I groan as I take in my surroundings, a forest. I could hear the rushing sound of a stream. I try to get up when a sudden wave of pain hit, spreading throughout my entire body. I look down and groan as the pain hit deeper. “Arghhhhhhh grrrr!” I grit my teeth, trying to take the pain. I look down at the knife Elena had used to stab me and decide to leave it in because it reduces the bleeding, else I will bleed to death. I drag my injured body up, leaving a trail of dark blood behind me as I stagger through the forest, my hand clutching my stomach as I brush past the thick bushes in ragged breath. I limp farther and farther until I came out to an open space — an empty and lonely road. M

Chapter 6

Julian’s POV It’s been a month since Ayla’s disappearance. The pain of the broken bond still buries deep inside my soul, surfacing as a dull, hollow ache in my chest whenever the room is quiet. My wolf is furious, and even though we already marked Elena, he still craves Ayla. In the end, he’d had no choice but to side with his master and accept Elena as our chosen mate. I hate Ayla. She left me with a scar that will never go away — a perfect reminder of her defiance. I will find her and make her suffer a thousand deaths for what she did. ‘She was our fated mate, Julian.’ My wolf growls. An angry sound that has been clawing my mind ever since the rejection. “Shut up! The earlier you accept Elena, the better. Forget about Ayla.” I bark aloud. He gives one quiet resentful growl before retreating into the dark corners of my mind. Sighing in relief, I throw myself onto the office couch, massaging my forehead with my fingers. The door clicks open and Elena slips in. “Julia

Chapter 7

Ayla’s POV The sky was slowly darkening with the sunset as I relax on the seat given to me by one of the nurses. I had come to the hospital with Sarah. She needs to buy a few gauzes and other medicines, having exhausted almost all of her own supplies while trying to save me. I could see the weird stares from people as they walk by. ‘That girl is insanely beautiful, but what’s wrong with her eyes?’ One asks. “Are those lenses? Definitely not. They look real!” Another whispers. I mean, I was shocked when I saw it too. I still cannot understand the sudden change in color, does it have something to do with my necklace? My hand instinctively touches the cold chain. I try to take it off but it will not budge. I try again, applying a little bit of force this time, but an invisible forcefield violently pushes my hand away. This isn’t the first time this is happening. Still, I’ve never taken it off — not even once. It feels like it was made to never leave my neck. I lift

Chapter 8

Ayla’s POV Sarah’s expression flickers to a sad one. It’s been a month and we were becoming really close, she’s been really nice to me. “Leave?” she whispers. “If you leave, where will you go? You know they will be looking for you.” “I know Sarah. That’s why I have to leave. If I don’t, you will get involved and I don’t want anything happening to you.” I sigh heavily, “I don’t know where I’ll go but I have to leave.” She sighs softly, closing her eyes before speaking, “I know somewhere you can go, but it’s quite far from here — and a bit dangerous.” “Where?” I ask. “The Vane estate. I hear they are recruiting new staffs. It’s very secured and owned by a very wealthy man. You will be safe there.” She said. Vane estate? I’ve never heard of this before. “Okay. But, how do I go there?” I ask her. “The selection holds tomorrow, so you have to leave early tomorrow.” She says, and grabs both my hands, squeezing softly, “I don’t know what you have been through in the past,

Chapter 9

Ayla’s POV My breathe stops. I gulp down the invincible lump that forms in my throat as I stare at the men — wolves actually, who didn’t seem like they have a pack. “My name is Ayla, I am here for the selection,” I say, keeping my voice steady. “Take off your cap.” One of them orders. I immediately take off my cap and look at them, praying that my eyes doesn’t give me away. He stares at me for quite a long time before nodding, “Follow me.” The other one orders. I nod and follow closely behind him. The Aura in this place is unsettling, it feels like there is something supernatural hovering around, I can feel it. We reach the second gate, he speaks some words to the guard in front of the gate, he nods and opens it and we walk through. The third one was already left ajar, so we just walk through it. I am shocked to see the number of women who comes for the selection. The guard utters no other words and simply walks away. I stalk deeper into the compound, the main mans

Chapter 10

Ayla’s POV I stand frozen to the spot as my eyes fixes on the silhouette hanging in the air, blood completely drains off my face. What the hell is that? “Hey! Why are you just standing there?” one of the girls yell, attracting the attention of the housekeeper. I peel my eyes off the mist and continue walking. I try looking up at it again, but surprisingly, it has vanished. I sigh in confusion. Was it just my imagination? But I’m sure of what I had seen, it had been there. The doors to the maid quarters open and I was stunned. The space was absolutely massive. “Each of you will have your own room. Go ahead and choose one. Lunch will be served in the dining hall in an hour then you will begin chores.” “Yes ma’am.” We respond as the house keeper walks out of the quarters. I look around the maid quarters, searching for a separate space away from the crowd. Sighting a door at the other end of the quarters, i quickly walk over and turn the knob. The room looks plain and
