Chapter 1

When I opened my eyes again, I was floating.Down below, I saw the moldy old mattress.Jeremy was kneeling beside it.He wore a perfectly tailored black uniform. The crest on his collar gleamed in the dim light. The mark of a top Alpha.He was gripping my wrist.“Stop playing dead, Alina.” He frowned. His voice was sharp with impatience.He thought I was throwing a tantrum.The silver had temporarily masked the scent of death.Veronica walked in. She crossed her arms, scanning the cramped room.“Give it a rest, Jeremy. A little abortion pill isn't going to kill anyone.”She let out a short, ugly laugh.“She finds out you're not broke. That you're the strongest Alpha in North America. She's probably just so shocked she fainted.”Hearing that, the last fake trace of worry vanished from Jeremy’s eyes.He dropped my cold hand and stood up, smoothing his cuffs.“You’re right. She’s always been timid.”Veronica covered her nose in disgust. Her eyes swept over the water stains on the walls, t

I followed the motorcade, floating right into the Crestmoon Pack headquarters.The top-floor ballroom was blindingly bright.The first thing I saw was a giant projection screen. It showed a picture of us.In the photo, Jeremy stood tall and superior in his perfect Alpha uniform.And there I was next to him. In my grease-stained work shirt, looking lost and anxious.He must have had someone take it secretly. A way to show the whole Alliance his great love experiment.The former Luna, Jeremy’s mother, stood in front of the screen with a glass of champagne.“Well, the girl's a hard worker,” she commented idly, like she was inspecting a dog. “To survive a year in a slum… she must have a strong back.”Veronica sneered.“Please. She’s a lowly rogue Omega. What has she ever seen of the world?”She took a sip of her wine, her eyes full of contempt.“Jeremy is handsome. Even pretending to be broke, he still radiates that top Alpha energy. She was just desperate for him. That's the only reason s

The next morning, the news that Crestmoon Pack had canceled its Luna ceremony hit every headline.The air in the top-floor office was heavy.Jeremy stared at his phone. He had called seventeen times since last night.No answer.The impatience in his eyes slowly turned into a dark glower. The Alpha’s patience was gone.“Alright, stop calling.” Veronica slid a photo across the table.It was a bottle of normal vitamins.“I swapped the pills for vitamins before I went over there yesterday. That stuff wouldn't kill a mouse.”She scoffed, her eyes full of mockery.“Alina knows she’s going to be Luna. She’s putting on an act. She’s waiting for you, the great Alpha, to personally come and grovel.”Jeremy’s face darkened completely. His pride couldn't handle that.He opened my voicemail. His voice was ice.“Alina, my patience has a limit.”“Be at the headquarters by 3 PM. In the dress.”“If you are one minute late, I will never acknowledge you as my Luna.”I floated near the ceiling, calmly wat

The landlord came up the stairs with a spare key, muttering curses.“Late on rent and you think you can make demands?”The key slid into the rusty lock. The door swung open.A thick, sharp stench hit them instantly. Blood and silver, left to fester for over ten hours in a sealed room.The landlord slapped a hand over his nose and stumbled back.Maria shoved him aside and rushed in.On the concrete floor lay an overturned metal box. The white Luna gown lay in a pile of dust.The shimmering moonstone necklace had rolled into the corner, ignored.Maria ran straight to the moldy mattress.“Alina! Alina, wake up!”She fell to her knees, shaking my body.I floated above, watching her red-rimmed eyes.Paramedics rushed in. The lead medic lifted my eyelid, then felt for a pulse on my stiff neck.He sighed and shook his head.“No vital signs. Time of death was over ten hours ago.”Maria collapsed onto the floor, letting out a heart-wrenching sob.A gust of wind blew through the room. The cracke

The body bag unzipped. Jeremy’s shaking fingers brushed my ice-cold skin.He snatched his hand back. Like he’d been burned.“Impossible.” His voice trembled. He spun around, roaring at the paramedics. “What are you waiting for? Help her! Now!”The doctor frowned. “Sir, death has been confirmed…”“I said help her!” Jeremy’s dominant Alpha aura exploded without warning. A guttural growl that sent everyone in the hallway stumbling back.He threw himself over me. His hands pressed against my chest. He squeezed his eyes shut and released his calming Alpha scent—a sharp, frantic smell of fir.It was the one scent an Omega craved above all others. The scent that was supposed to soothe every instinct.Before, just a whiff would make my whole body relax. An Omega’s deep-seated need for a powerful Alpha.Now? Nothing.My body didn’t respond at all.Because he never gave me his mark. The one that made us mates. Without that bond, he couldn’t even feel my life slipping away.The look in his eyes s

The paramedics tried to push my gurney into the elevator. Jeremy clung to the edge.“I’m going with her,” he rasped. “She’s afraid of the dark. Always has been.”Maria let out a sharp, cold laugh.“Afraid of the dark?” She stared at Jeremy, her eyes full of hate. “Last night, at your Alpha ceremony, you raised your champagne glass and told the whole pack, ‘She would never turn this down.’ Did you even think about where she was then?”The color drained from Jeremy’s face.He didn’t argue. He just followed the gurney, refusing to fall a single step behind.The morgue’s metal door slowly closed in front of him.Before the metallic clang even faded, Jeremy threw himself against it.“Open the door!” He slammed his fists against the cold steel, his voice a feral roar. With enough werewolf strength to shatter rock. “Open the damn door!”Security guards tried to stop him. He threw them aside. Several grown men crashed to the floor.Veronica finally caught up, out of breath, her sunglasses croo

The autopsy report was tossed on the table. A single, cold line: Cause of death, organ failure due to high-concentration silver solution. Homicide ruled out.Jeremy stared at the words. Like he could burn a hole through the paper.“Run it again,” he rasped. “She wouldn’t kill herself. There’s been a mistake.”The Coalition’s medical examiner just shook his head and left.I floated behind him. Watching this once-arrogant Alpha cling to his last shred of denial.Maria walked in, carrying a cardboard box. She slammed it down in front of Jeremy.“These are all her belongings,” she said, her voice hard and cold. “See for yourself if it’s worth a hundred bucks.”The box held a few old clothes. A pair of worn-out shoes.Jeremy’s hand sifted through them, then froze.He pulled out a yellowed pawn ticket.“Moonstone pendant, five hundred dollars,” he read aloud. His pupils shrank.It was the only thing my mother left me. A raw stone, blessed by the Moon Goddess herself, or so the stories said.

On the day of the cremation, a dozen black cars were parked outside the funeral home.The Crestmoon pack had booked the entire hall.Staff brought in a huge gift box. They opened it. It was full of jewels and a pure white Luna gown, the symbol of the pack’s matriarch.Maria stood at the door. She kicked the box, sending it sliding back.“The she-wolf dies, and now you decide to be generous?” she sneered, her eyes red. “If she’d had just one of these things when she was alive, she wouldn’t have ended up here.”Jeremy knelt beside the box. He hadn’t slept.He clutched the gown, his eyes webbed with blood.“Let me put it on her,” he rasped, his voice barely a whisper. “Please. Just this once. She is the Luna of Crestmoon.”Maria blocked his path like a wall.“She gave her life to refuse you,” she said, her words sharp. “What right do you have to put this on her now? You never even marked her. What kind of Luna is she to you?”Jeremy’s fingers clenched the white silk, his knuckles white. T

“Are you insane?!”Jeremy’s father’s roar echoed through the office.He slammed a stack of papers on the desk, his knuckles white.“You’re stepping down? You signed away the Alpha title? The Alpha of all of Crestmoon?”Jeremy sat in his chair. The dark circles under his eyes made him look like he hadn’t slept in days. He didn’t look up. He just picked up a pen and signed his name.“Damage control,” his father snarled. “The only thing you can do now is cut your losses. Pin all the blame on Veronica! I’ve already spoken to the Coalition Council. If you just apologize now, we can save a third of the pack’s assets!”“Enough,” Jeremy’s voice was quiet, but it had a finality I’d never heard before. “I don’t want that third.”He pushed the documents across the desk. Half his personal assets were to repay the debt Alina thought she had. The other half was to start a foundation to help rogue Omegas and their pups.His father grabbed him by the collar.“Are you stupid? What good will this money

The cemetery was small. No marble headstones. Just a simple concrete slab with my name on it.Maria crouched down and put a bouquet of sunflowers in a vase.“The other flowers are too expensive. You don’t need them anyway,” she said, her voice hoarse. “Sunflowers are tough. Like you.”Jeremy knelt motionlessly before the grave.Maria glanced at him, her tone like a razor.“What’s the point of kneeling all day? She can’t hear you.”“I know,” Jeremy’s voice was a ruin. “I’m just afraid to leave.”He knelt from dawn till dusk, never moving.A week after the funeral, he moved back into that leaky attic apartment.I floated in the corner of the room, watching him squeeze onto a crowded subway, pushed and shoved against the poles.He bit into a piece of cold, hard bread. He gagged on the first bite and doubled over a trash can, retching his guts out.That’s how I used to eat every day. He never knew how hard it was to swallow.A month later, he went to a restaurant kitchen and applied for a
