Chapter 1

The morning after the gathering, I took the invitation and headed to the Blackwood Pack's territory.Kael was the Alpha heir of Blackwood. His mother had watched me grow up, and for years, she'd been waiting for the day Kael and I would finally complete the bond.The moment she saw me, she grabbed my hand with a bright smile and urged me to lock things down with Kael."Aurora, you and Kael really need to get your bonding ceremony on the calendar."Just then, Kael came down the stairs.He strode over and shoved our clasped hands apart, his voice dripping with impatience."Mom, who said I'm bonding with Aurora?"He whipped around to glare at me, eyes full of disbelief. "Aurora, what the hell has gotten into you? Trying to use my mother to pressure me into it?"I set the invitation on the coffee table. "You've got it wrong, Kael. I came to deliver an invitation to my bonding ceremony."Kael didn't even glance at it. He was still convinced I was trying to corner him. His face twisted with

Orion's reaction was exactly the same as his attitude lately. So full of himself!I pulled an invitation out of my bag and held it out. "Orion, I think you've got the wrong idea. I came to deliver an invitation to my bonding ceremony."Orion didn't even reach for it. Instead, he let out a scoff and took half a step back. "Aurora, still trying that 'act first, explain later' move? You think you can wave around some random pieces of paper, and on the big day, just point at one of us, and we'll go along with it to save face—then bond with you?"I couldn't blame him for thinking that way. Everyone assumed my future mate had to be one of them. And honestly, they were the three strongest Alphas in all the surrounding packs.But Orion was dead wrong. I set the invitation on the side table and told him flat out, "You're overthinking this."Before I could even finish, his phone buzzed on the desk. He glanced at the screen, and his whole expression softened into something ridiculously tender.He

The moment Kael and Orion showed up, Lilith peeked out from behind Zephyr, then slipped free from his grip and trotted over to me."Aurora, please don't be mad at them," she said, reaching out to tug at my sleeve. "They're just so protective of me. They didn't mean to hurt you."I didn't want to keep tangling with any of them. I turned to leave. But for some reason, Lilith wouldn't let me go—she clung to me, practically begging me to stay. I tried to shake her off, just a quick, impatient flick of my arm.I didn't expect her to lose her balance like that. One second she was holding on, the next she let out this sharp little shriek and went flying backward, landing hard on the ground. I reached out to catch her—missed—and her nails raked across the back of my hand, leaving a long, bloody gash.All three of them rushed over at once.Kael scooped Lilith up and cradled her against his chest, murmuring soft reassurances. Orion dropped to his knees, frantically checking her arms for any brui

Chapter 4

Our parents had set this up hoping we'd patch things up—right here, in the place that used to mean everything to us.The four of us had been thick as thieves since we were kids. The more the elders told us not to do something, the more we had to do it. And it was in this very cabin that we—barely six years old, all of us—took down a rogue that had wandered into the Forbidden Grounds.That fight nearly killed Kael. He'd thrown himself in front of me, and afterward, he was bedridden for three whole months. Orion went home and trained like a man possessed, swearing he'd become Alpha heir so he'd never feel that powerless again. And Zephyr? That was the day he decided to become a healer—so he'd always be able to save us when things went wrong.So yeah. This cabin meant something to all of us.Back here now, the three of them seemed to soften a little. They kept glancing at me, mouths opening and closing like they wanted to say something but couldn't quite get the words out.Before any of t

Just as the three of them were about to bolt, I had no choice but to speak up. "Please tell me you haven't forgotten what roams the edges of the Forbidden Grounds at night."They turned back, hesitation flickering across their faces. They clearly didn't feel great about leaving me here alone.But who would stay behind with me?I tried to reason with them. "Running down there like this won't help anyone. One wrong step and you'll get yourselves killed."But for some reason, my good intentions only set them off. Something dark flickered in their eyes—like they'd just remembered something bitter—and their faces went cold again, just like they'd been lately.Kael glared at me, rain streaming down his face. "Aurora, this is exactly who you are now. Cold. Heartless. We actually hesitated—wondered if leaving you alone here was a bad idea. But you? You'd let Lilith die and not blink. You're jealous of her, and you're trying to stop us from saving her."Orion wiped the rain from his eyes, his v

Jax scooped me up in his arms, cradling me against his chest. His scent was wild, edged with something dangerous—and yet, it made me feel safer than I'd felt in weeks.He pressed a kiss to my forehead. "Who left you out here? Where did they go?"I leaned into his chest and answered flatly, "No one important."He caught the hint and didn't push. He just tightened his hold and charged into the rain without another word.Jax came from the Northfang Pack—the most powerful of the five great Pack territories. They controlled the entire frozen tundra and all the lands beyond the Ice Sea.Three years ago, the old Northfang Alpha had been gravely wounded during an internal uprising and stepped down. The identity of the new Alpha had been kept under wraps ever since. All anyone knew was that within three months of taking power, he'd crushed the rebellion. Within six, he'd absorbed two smaller packs. Within a year, the Northfang Pack had become the single most feared force among all five territor

Jax's gaze swept across the entire hall before it finally landed on me.Kael, Orion, and Zephyr were frantically straightening their suits. Lilith stood ramrod straight, trying to show off her best angle.When Jax started walking straight toward us, Kael grabbed Lilith's hand and stepped forward, eager to introduce themselves. "Alpha Jax, I'm Kael Blackwood, Alpha heir of the Blackwood Pack. And this is Lilith—she's our—"Jax didn't even glance at them. He didn't let Kael finish. He just walked right past them and stopped in front of me.His arm slid around my waist, pulling me against him. Right there, in front of everyone, he tilted his head and pressed a kiss to my cheek. "There you are. I've been looking for you."A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.Kael's smile froze on his face. Orion's eyes went wide, pure disbelief. Zephyr's glass slipped from his fingers and shattered on the floor. Lilith's face drained white.Jax turned us both to face the room. "Allow me to introduc

"Who told you she's using me?"Jax's voice cut through the hallway like a blade.He strode toward us, each step carrying the weight of an Alpha presence so crushing that Kael, Orion, and Zephyr went pale in an instant. Their heads dropped. Their bodies trembled against their will.Jax reached me and pulled me behind him. "You have a problem with my mate?"Orion forced himself to speak, his voice strained. "Alpha Jax, please don't be angry. Aurora didn't mean any harm. She's been—she's been chasing after us for years. This whole bonding thing with you—it's a misunderstanding."Jax let out a low laugh. Cold. Deadly.He lifted his hand—and Kael and Orion went flying. They slammed into the wall so hard the plaster cracked, both of them spitting blood.Zephyr's legs gave out. He dropped to his knees under the sheer weight of Jax's pheromones, shaking like a leaf.Jax looked down at them like they were dirt under his boots. "My mate. You don't get to speak about her. Ever. Disrespect her aga

Chapter 9

At the auction, every item I so much as glanced at, Kael would drop a fortune to snatch it up and gift it to Lilith.At the Pack Hunt Festival, Orion presented his finest kill to Lilith in front of everyone.Zephyr used his healer privileges to turn the rarest youth-preserving herbs into a daily tonic—and had Lilith drink it like water.Lilith plastered it all over her socials every single day. The entire wolf race was buzzing about their "perfect love story."Everyone thought I'd only settled for Jax because the three of them had cast me aside.But the truth was, he was my fated mate all along.Faced with their constant showboating, I couldn't be bothered to spare them a single glance. I spent every day at home with Jax, just the two of us. He taught me how to control my power, how to grow stronger. I sat with him in the garden, sipping tea, playing chess.We were wrapped up in our own little bubble, completely shut off from the noise outside.Two weeks later.I went to the Spirit Ars

That was when Jax found me, passing through by chance. He saved my life. And in the days that followed, we grew close—made promises to each other. Promises to stay.Later, my father took me back home and kept me in secret treatment for six full months before I fully healed.But by the time I went looking for them again? Lilith had already staked her claim as their savior.I looked at the three self-righteous men in front of me. "You're telling me Lilith saved you?"Kael snorted. "What, you think it was you?"I held their stares, cold and steady. "Three years ago, Lilith had just been brought back to the Pack. She couldn't even shift properly. The three of you weigh close to five hundred pounds combined. How exactly did a weak, powerless girl drag all of you into a cave?"All three of them froze.Orion frowned, scrambling for an explanation. "She said—she said she tapped into some latent power!"I cut him off. "Latent power? While you were unconscious, did any of you catch the scent of
