“Why am I a monster?” Ronan asked, his voice dropping into a harsh, vibrating growl that rattled the stone walls of our chamber. “You watched the crystal projection with Kellan Stormfang. Why can’t you watch it with me?”I sat up straight in the center of the massive fur-draped bed, my feverish skin flushed, my gaze burning with pure fury. “What did Kellan and I do, Ronan? Have I ever asked you to grant me the same filth you share when you run off to comfort Zanele Nightshade?”Ronan’s icy blue eyes narrowed, the golden rings around his pupils flashing with territorial menace. “You will regret speaking her name like that.”“I already regret everything,” I spat, pulling my woolen shawl tighter around my neck to hide the pulse hammering in my throat. “Why should I torture my wolf watching you pretend to be a devoted mate when your scent is still thick with another female’s sickness?”Ronan did not bother to explain. He never did. In his mind, the Supreme Alpha owed no answers to an Uncl

"Do not raise your voice in the presence of an Elder," High Alpha Elder Thabo growled, his deep, territorial alpha force vibrating through the heavy wooden floorboards of the private dining quarters."I am merely speaking the truth, Elder Thabo," I replied, my voice dangerously smooth despite the raw terror clawing at my throat. My hands pressed flat against my lap, hiding the slight tremor in my fingers. "Ronan brings his mistress into the central keep, yet I am expected to sit silently at his right hand while my brother lies bleeding in the medical ward?""Enough!" Ronan slammed his palm onto the long dining table. The heavy stone structure cracked beneath his raw strength. His golden alpha aura flared around his massive shoulders, dark and suffocating. "You will not disrespect the Council, Sommy. You are my wedded mate. You will act like it."I looked directly into his icy blue eyes, refusing to let my wolf back down. "I am your wedded mate until the cooling period expires, Supreme

"You do not know what Zanele Nightshade truly means to me, Sommy," Ronan's voice lowered into a gravelly, lethal rumble that vibrated straight through the floorboards. "Even if I never wrap the High Luna cloak around her shoulders, I cannot turn my back on her for the rest of my natural life."A brutal, jagged slice of pain tore through my chest. I stared at him, my hands trembling against the edge of the dining table."When I was thirteen winters old, I fell through the thin ice of the Frostfang River," Ronan said, his icy blue eyes fixing on me with a bone-chilling intensity. "My wolf was frozen. I was drowning in the black water. Zanele dragged me onto the ice. She almost died saving me."My blood ran cold.A ten-year-old Unclaimed female pulled a future Supreme Alpha out of a freezing death-trap. That was where their knot of destiny began."So it is even more impossible for you two to ever break your ties," I whispered, my voice breaking as tears threatened to spill over my dark l

"If you remain obedient, I will uphold it," Ronan replied coldly."Then give me the formal Divorce parchment now," I said, reaching out a weak, trembling hand. "Only then will I believe you."Ronan’s eyes darkened as he looked down at me. "I will not give it to you."My brow furrowed, a faint spark of anger returning to my chest. "Why?""Because the moment that ink touches the skin, you will flee the Wolfhart Moonkeep," he stated plainly.A hollow laugh escaped my lips. "Then your promises mean nothing. Leave me, Ronan. I want to rest."I closed my eyes, turning my back to him."Rest then," he said sternly.I heard his heavy boots echo across the floorboards before the heavy doors clicked shut.My mind was a chaotic storm. I was trapped. Even if Matriarch Esi supported my freedom, as long as the Supreme Alpha refused to sever the bond, the Royal Lycan Court would keep me bound to him. But I needed resources. I needed gold to secure a safe sanctuary in the outer territories for my unbo

"Lady... Sommy..." she whimpered, her tiny hands clutching my cloak."I'm here, little one," I breathed, my heart aching as I wrapped my arms around her.Before I could unbutton my cloak to cover her, Ronan was already stripping off his heavy, fur-lined alpha mantle and tossing it over both of us. The thick leather was radiating his intense, oppressive heat."Thank you," I murmured softly, looking up at him.Ronan’s expression remained dark, though he didn't snap at me. "Check her core."I channeled a faint stream of green Healer magic into her chest. "No internal frost-damage. Her core is just dormant from the cold.""Katie..." Seraphina rasped, her eyes shining with faint tears. "I went to get the herbs... for the doll clothes you promised to stitch..."My heart shattered. "You came out into the deep woods just for that?""You promised..." she whispered, burying her face into Ronan's massive pelt.Darius’s heavy footfalls thundered through the snow moments later. He threw himself on
