Chapter 1

Before my mother died, she left me four prophecies, written in runes beneath my skin.The runes would glow beneath the full moon.The first warned me not to join the Hunters’ Council.So I became a Federation enforcer instead. I earned the highest military honors in two territorial wars. The Council headquarters, where I would have served, was later razed by rival wolves armed with silverfire shells.The second forbade me from staying in North America.I moved to the wolf territories in Europe and personally dismantled five black-market rings trafficking in wolf-blood hybrids. Later, a rival family attacked my old home in North America.Only the third prophecy went unheeded.She told me not to marry Lucian.The day I found out I was pregnant, I finally understood why.We were in the Northern Pack’s council chamber. Lucian listened to my news, then said casually, “Get rid of it. Vivienne and I already have a daughter.”I stood before the obsidian conference table, gripping the test resu

Heat spread across my back. The fourth prophecy surfaced, and my mother’s voice whispered in my ears.“Do not sever the mate bond… Don’t…”I clenched my fists.I knew her prophecies had always been right.But I was done with this Alpha.My white dress was stained with blood. Bracing myself against the table, I struggled to my feet, reached for my communicator, and called the clan elder.I was discussing the dissolution of our bond with the clan elder when Lucian burst in with two guards.He tore apart the blood seal we had just formed and caught my wrist.“Come.”The weight of his Alpha power bore down on me. I gritted my teeth and shoved him away.Lucian frowned.“You’re really going to sever our bond?”“Yes!”He gave a short nod, then turned to the elder.“Help her form another seal, and you’ll answer to me.”The elder went pale. He rose at once, bowing and murmuring apologies as he hurried out.“Lucian!”Lucian’s lips curved as though nothing had happened.“Come along, my wife.”I i

Vivienne and Lucian had both disappeared, so I went to my private shooting grounds alone.“Put Lucian’s picture on the targets!”I was adjusting a target when I suddenly jerked my head aside.A bullet skimmed my hair and punched into the wall behind me.Fragments sprayed into the air.I spun around, my expression hardening.“Who’s there?”Vivienne stepped out from behind cover, laughing as she waved her gun.“Nova, I’ve run out of targets. Stand there and be one for me!”Not far away, Lucian sat in a chair at the edge of the range, dressed in combat gear, watching me at his leisure.I fixed my eyes on him.“You brought her here?”Lucian was the only person I had ever granted access to my shooting grounds.We trained here, ran tactical drills here, even slipped away here on the anniversary of our bond.This place belonged to the two of us.“Get her out of here.”Lucian smiled at me.“Vivienne’s a poor shot, and you’re fast. She won’t hit you. You’re her mentor. Humor her.”“Lu—”Vivienn

She screamed.A cold gun barrel pressed against the back of my head.“Let her go.”Lucian.Rival wolves had aimed silver bullets at me more times than I could count.This was the first time the gun had belonged to someone on my side.“Lucian. Are you really going to kill me?”“Try me.”I laughed.“All right.”I plunged the dagger into Vivienne’s shoulder.The gunshot came almost at the same instant.A silver bullet tore through my chest from behind. I opened my mouth, and blood spilled out.In battle, Lucian had always put himself in front of me, taking the bullets meant to kill me.Now the gunshot wound in my chest was his doing.As I fell, I saw Vivienne scramble into his arms in terror.Lucian picked her up and pressed his earpiece.“Medical team. Get to the range.”Lucian had spared my life.The bullet had passed close to my heart without hitting a lung, but my recovery was still a long one.When I woke, he was beside the bed.He reached for my face. I turned away.“Angry with me?”

Blood filled my mouth.Lucian finally released me. We stood facing each other, both breathing hard, both a mess.He wiped the blood from his mouth, his gaze gradually clearing.“Find some time to get rid of the baby.”I picked up the medical report confirming my miscarriage and threw it in front of him.“You think I’d keep your child?”He went still, staring at the date.The day of our fight.After a moment, the corners of his mouth lifted.“Well done, sweetheart.”I clenched my fists and turned away.Lucian lifted me onto the bed and settled me against his chest.“Promise me you’ll never mention severing our bond again. You and I are going to be husband and wife for the rest of our lives.”Someone began pounding on the door.His arms stiffened around me. He barked toward the entrance, “Get lost!”Vivienne burst in anyway and dropped to her knees.“Lucian! Nellie… Nellie’s missing!”Lucian shot to his feet.Vivienne turned her tearful eyes on me. He followed her gaze, his brow tighteni

Once the ropes came off, I dropped into the chair beside Kasper and worked the stiffness out of my wrists.He propped his chin on one hand and watched me.“Bet you never thought you’d owe your life to your archenemy, Nova.”My hands paused.Vivienne’s scheme had been clumsy.But if it gave me a chance to sever my bond with Lucian, I didn’t mind playing along.So I had secretly contacted Kasper and asked him to replace the so-called kidnappers Vivienne had arranged.“I owe you a favor.”Kasper smiled.“But your mother’s fourth prophecy told you not to sever your mate bond. Will you live long enough to repay me?”“Easy. I just have to bond with someone else.”He blinked.“Mother said not to break the mate bond. She didn’t say I couldn’t break the one with Lucian. Once I form a new bond, I won’t be unbonded anymore, will I?”Kasper gave a startled laugh.“You really see it that way?”I rested my chin in my palm and looked at him.“Are you interested, Kasper?”He pointed at himself.“Me? W

Chapter 7

I met Cecilia in the drawing room.The moment she saw Kasper, she rushed into his arms with a delighted cry.“Kasper!”He scooped her up and spun her around with ease.“You’ve put on weight.”Cecilia pouted. Then her eyes found me, and her smile froze.Kasper set her down and came to put an arm around my waist.“Come and say hello to your new sister-in-law.”“So you weren’t joking about getting married.”She managed a strained smile.“I might tease you about other things. Not this.”Kasper stroked her hair.“Be ready to witness the ceremony tomorrow.”“But… tomorrow’s an unlucky day. I checked. You should wait at least a week. That would be a much better day to get married.”Kasper frowned.“A week is too long.”He bent toward her, softening his voice.“Come on. We don’t need to worry about lucky dates. Tomorrow it is.”Cecilia suddenly raised her voice.“But Nova wouldn’t want that! You’d want a lucky day for your wedding, wouldn’t you?”I lifted an eyebrow.“I don’t mind. Your brothe

Kasper carried her to her room.She clung to his clothes, her face full of guilt.“Your wedding’s so soon, and now I can’t even stand… It’s all my fault. I’m supposed to be your witness…”“It’s all right.”He stroked her hair.“Nova won’t mind. Just concentrate on getting better so we can get married without worrying about you.”She went still.“You’re still getting married?”Kasper’s expression softened.“Her life depends on it.”Cecilia lowered her head and slowly tightened her grip on the sheets.On the wedding day, Kasper and I were about to exchange the tokens of our bond when one of his men rushed in.“Sir! Your sister’s having chest pains!”Kasper froze.The man sounded frantic.“She says you have to come to her right now!”Kasper looked at me, torn.I gave a small laugh and gathered my skirts.“I’ll come with you.”The moment I saw Cecilia, I knew she was faking.Her eyes were closed, and she kept murmuring Kasper’s name as though she might pass out at any second.I brought her

“And then what? I’m supposed to sacrifice my wife to satisfy those animals?”I stared at him.Kasper leaned closer.“You may think our bond is a transaction. I don’t. When it comes to my wife, I mean every word.”I frowned.“Pretty words.”He only smiled and headed for the door with his men.“Kasper!”He turned.I had already picked up my gun and loaded it.“Who do you think will get to her first? You or me?”“Nova?”I ignored him and strode out.Realizing what I meant to do, Kasper hurried after me.“Nova! Get back here!”I kicked open the door to the room where Cecilia was being held.In one hand, I was dragging an unconscious kidnapper.Someone beside me raised a gun. Before I could turn, a shot rang out behind me.Kasper took down the man trying to ambush me.I glanced back and smiled at him.“I win.”Cecilia sat in the room, staring at me in disbelief.I walked over, loosened the slack ropes around her, and bent to her ear.“Staging your own kidnapping? That’s childish. Do you hav

Chapter 10

Lucian came to the East with his men.Fighting broke out across the estate. Fire lit half the sky.Kasper had been hit in the shoulder. Blood soaked through his clothes, but he still stood in Lucian’s path.“She doesn’t want to go back with you! No one forced her to leave. She’s simply done with you! Why can’t you understand that?”Lucian’s eyes were bloodshot. His grip tightened on his gun.“I don’t care whether she wants to come back. I’m taking her home first!”Meanwhile, the guards had bound my hands and dragged me into a tunnel.“Let go of me.”“Our orders are to get you out, whatever happens.”They didn’t dare stop. They pulled me toward the exit.Suddenly, shots rang out from outside the tunnel.The men protecting me fell one after another.“Where are you going?”Lucian stood at the exit, looking down at me. In his hand was the pistol I had given him.“Hello, sweetheart. It’s been a while.”I snatched a gun from the ground and aimed at him.He stood three paces away, watching me
