chapter 1

Eleanor POV I woke drenched in cold sweat, fear coiled tightly around my body as violent tremors raced through me.Swallowing had become nearly impossible. My chest constricted until each breath felt like a battle I was losing. I clutched at the fabric of my night gown, eyes squeezed shut, fighting to slow the frantic rhythm of my heart.The nightmare had returned.No—it was not just a nightmare. It was a memory, one that invaded my sleep night after night, refusing to loosen its grip. If it had only been a dream, I might have convinced myself it wasn’t real. But this was different. This was a fragment of my past that had fused itself into my present, stubbornly refusing to stay buried.No amount of therapy, no carefully practiced grounding exercises, nothing had ever managed to erase it.I was only a child.I repeated those words every time the memory resurfaced. I was no longer twelve. I was an adult now. It shouldn’t still terrify me the way it once had.Yet nothing changed.No ma

chapter 2

“Yes. Marry me.”His voice was calm, almost conversational, as if he were discussing the weather rather than upending what remained of my life.“You do know you’re a werewolf, don’t you? Staying alone without a pack is dangerous—far more harmful than you realize. With me, you’ll have a pack that protects you. They’ll teach you our ways. And when the year is over and the divorce is final, you’ll be free to go… provided you’ve given me what I asked for.”The words hit me like a physical blow.“I’m not a monster like—”The sentence died in my throat. I couldn’t finish it.“Like what?” He stepped closer again. “Like me?”I swallowed hard as his face came within inches of mine. The air between us felt charged, heavy with old fear and something darker.A faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. “You saw your father change, didn’t you? You’ll change too. Then we’ll see whether you’re still so certain you’re not a monster… just like me.”Something inside me snapped.“I am never going to

chapter 3

After walking me safely to the front door, Lucian turned to leave. I didn’t fully understand the sudden emptiness that washed over me, or why the thought of him walking away made my chest tighten.“Lucian,” I called.He stopped and looked back. Those stunning eyes found mine again, steady and warm in the bright afternoon light.“Yes, Eleanor?”“Would you… like a glass of water? As a thank-you. Before you go.”A soft smile curved his mouth. “Yes, please.”He followed me inside. I gestured toward the living-room couch, and he sat while I poured him a glass from the kitchen. When I handed it to him, his fingers brushed mine for the briefest second—warm, steady, almost reassuring.“Thank you,” he said. “You’re very sweet.”“You’re welcome.”He glanced around the room, taking in the soft light spilling through the windows and the quiet order of our home. “You have a beautiful house.”“Thank you.” I hesitated, then added quickly, almost shyly, “Don’t leave just yet. I’ll be right back.”I

chapter 4

Eleanor… Eleanor…A soft voice kept calling my name as I found myself running through a dense forest. Branches whipped past my face. The ground was uneven beneath my bare feet. I didn’t know what I was running from—only that something deep inside me urged me to keep moving.“Stop running from yourself, Eleanor.”I spun in a circle, heart slamming against my ribs. “Who’s there? Who are you?” My voice came out raw and broken. I turned again, searching the darkness between the trees, but nothing moved. Only the wind answered, carrying the distant howl of something I couldn’t name.“It’s me. Miya. Your wolf.”I froze. “What? What do you mean, my wolf? I don’t understand.”“You know deep inside that we are bound together as one.”The words settled deep into my bones, as though they had been waiting there all along.I shook my head, trying to make sense of what I was hearing. “What… bound together? Then how is this the first time you’ve ever spoken to me? Why now?”“Because I have been hidd

chapter 5

I jolted awake to bright sunlight flashing through the tall arched window, the golden light cutting across my face like a blade. My heart slammed against my ribs. For a disoriented second I just lay there, breathing hard, body locked in the leftover terror of the dream.Then I checked myself—wrists first, then the rest of me—with frantic, shaking hands.Oh my God.It had only been a dream.Lucian hadn’t touched me last night. Thank God.I flexed my wrists again, almost not believing it. They weren’t bound the way they had been in the nightmare—no restraints, no phantom heat of his hands. Still, the relief was short-lived. I was in a strange room. One I didn’t recognize. One that smelled faintly of cedar, expensive soap, and something darker I couldn’t name.A woman in her late forties was already sliding the heavy curtains fully open, her movements calm and practiced. She turned toward the bed with a polite, measured smile.“Good morning, dear. My name is Zita. I’ll be your guide whil

chapter 6

I shot up from the water, gasping for air as I clutched my throat. I had almost choked myself. What had I been thinking, staying underwater for so long?Even as I coughed and dragged precious air into my lungs, Miya’s voice echoed in my mind. It had been clearer this time—more insistent, more persistent than before.Awaken me.But how? I wondered.I stepped carefully out of the tub. A stack of thick, snow-white towels had been arranged on a low marble shelf beside the bath, each one perfectly folded and lightly scented with the same lavender as the soaps. I took one and dried my body, then wrapped it securely around my waist. With a second towel I squeezed the water from my hair as I walked back into the bedroom.The wardrobe doors opened smoothly. Inside, everything was neat and deliberate. Beautiful sundresses hung on individual hangers, spaced evenly so the fabrics wouldn’t crease. Soft jeans and simple tops in my exact size were folded on the shelves. Even the underwear drawers we
