Chapter 1

"50 gold coins. Any other bids?"The auctioneer bellowed, his voice filling the basement.Shackled at the ankles, I stood in a rusty iron cage.Outlaws packed the room below the stage. They stared at my body and debated how much to pay for me."50 gold coins is plenty for a useless girl who can't even shift.""Pretty face, though. Worth it for a warm bed."Laughter rippled through the crowd.Bang!Someone shoved open the iron doors. Snow and wind swept in, carrying the scent of cedar and fir.The noisy basement fell silent.The buyers bowed their heads. Even the auctioneer lowered his gavel and stepped aside with a nervous smile.Heat rushed through me. My legs began to shake.My fated mate is here.Logan Blackwood.Alpha of the Frostmoon pack. The strongest Alpha in the North.Logan strode down the aisle and onto the stage. He stopped at my cage. "Open it."The auctioneer produced a key and unlocked the iron door.Logan held out his right hand. "Come out. Submit to me."After a pause,

Chapter 2

Kane's camp occupied an abandoned factory outside the city.It had stood empty for years. Wind slipped through the tin roof, and rusted pipes lined the walls.The moment we entered the basement, my legs gave out and I fell.The price of rejecting the mate bond had caught up with me.Pain tore through my stomach. Cold sweat soaked my back.I curled up on an old mattress, barely able to breathe.Kane lit the stove and took some herbs from a shelf.Soon he brought me a bowl of dark liquid. The bitter smell of aconite filled the little room."Drink. It'll take the edge off."I took the bowl and gulped it down.It was horribly bitter, but it worked fast.The pull on my soul eased. I slumped over the edge of the bed to catch my breath, then managed to sit up.Kane pulled up a chair and wiped the sweat from my forehead with a damp cloth."Why would the Blackwood Alpha take an interest in you?""Fated mates."I wiped the medicine from my lips."The Moon Goddess has a sick sense of humor."Kane

The rejection sickness grew worse every day.Aconite, bloodletting, banishing spells. I tried them all. None helped much.The Moon Goddess herself had forged the mate bond. Ordinary witchcraft couldn't sever it.There were only two ways to break it by force.The first was to drive a bond-breaking silver dagger blessed by moonlight into your chest. But whoever used it paid a price.At best, the wound would be slow to heal. At worst, you would lose your wolf.The second was to swear before witnesses under a full moon that you rejected the Moon Goddess's choice.The oath would tear the bond apart. The one who spoke it would feel their soul being ripped away. Their rejected mate would carry an emotional scar that would never heal.The stronger your mate, the worse the backlash.Logan was the strongest Alpha in the North. He would never do it.That left me.All my life, people had called me wolfless. Clara loved to use it against me, claiming she'd been born better than I was.I've never ha

I woke on the morning of the third day.The Moon Festival ball was that night.It was the most important ceremony in werewolf society. The elders of every pack in the city would be there.Kane helped me through the doors. My right hand was swathed in bandages. The broken fingers had only just been set.The hall went quiet.The guests made no effort to hide their contempt. Some called me a traitor. Others urged the guards to throw the rogues out.Logan stood on the stairs in his formal Alpha uniform, the Blackwood crest pinned to his chest."You're late."He came down the stairs and produced a collar.It was proof that an Omega belonged to an Alpha.Once he put it on me during the festival, our bond would be complete. I would lose the right to resist him.He pointed to the floor at his feet."Come here. Kneel."I stayed where I was.Logan was about to order the guards forward when Clara ran out of the crowd.Clutching a ledger, she called to several of the elders."Logan. Elders. You ca

"Stop! Stop it!"Logan had realized something was wrong.The collar dug into my neck. Pain spread through my body, slicing my soul apart piece by piece.Crack!The collar broke.Blood ran down my neck and into my clothes.I tore off the broken collar and hurled it at Logan's face.He jerked his head aside. The clasp grazed his cheek before striking the floor.I braced myself against the punishment post and swore to the full moon beyond the window."I, Lila, offer my flesh and blood, with my soul as witness."From this day forward, I reject Alpha Logan Blackwood as my mate. Forever."Even if it tears my soul apart, I will never turn back!"As the last word left my mouth, the full moon flared brighter.The mate bond between Logan and me ripped apart.Agony swept through me.It felt as though an unseen hand had seized my soul and torn it out of my body.My organs felt crushed, and my bones seemed to split apart inch by inch. The pain of my first death came flooding back.My legs buckled,

Breaking the bond had drained my life force.I passed out as soon as we left the pack house.Fever came and went while I lay unconscious, and the silver burns refused to heal."She's not going to make it.""The backlash damaged her soul. Ordinary medicine won't help.""Not unless we can find a pureblood Alpha."A long silence followed.Then warm blood flowed into my mouth, bringing the scent of ice and snow.Instinct took over, and I swallowed.When I woke, I was in my bed at the camp.Kane sat beside me. Blood dripped from a fresh cut on his left wrist into a bowl.His pureblood Alpha blood had kept me alive while I was unconscious.I sat up and wiped the blood from my lips."What do you want from me?"He wrapped his wrist in a cloth and said nothing.I stared at him. "I have no money. No family backing. I can't even shift. Are you saving me so I'll risk my life for you?"Everyone who'd ever come near me had wanted something.The church bought my obedience with a meal. My father took

Chapter 7

Logan questioned Clara's maid through the night. Every lead pointed back to Clara.The ledger was a fake.Lila had never sold the pack's secrets.Rain was pouring down when he hurried out of the pack house.He took no car and no guards. Alone, he headed for the rogue camp outside the city.He needed to see Lila. He needed to tell her the truth.If he explained and offered enough to make up for it, surely she would come back.But when he reached the abandoned factory, he stopped.Steel walls now surrounded the run-down grounds. Armed guards kept watch from up high, and sentries manned the main gate.In just a few days, Kane had united all the nearby rogues and built a new pack.They were no longer strays anyone could drive away.Logan went up to the iron gate and pounded on it."Lila, come out and see me!"Rain streamed from his hair and clothes. No one answered."I've found the truth," he shouted. "Clara forged the ledger. You never betrayed the pack. I was wrong about you!"The iron g

Clara was locked in the pack house basement.The guards whispered that Logan would strip her of her status and send her to the prison camp in the far North.The packs sent their worst criminals there.Exiles received no supplies. They could only wait to die in the snow.Clara panicked. She took her last diamond from a hidden compartment in her shoe, bribed the guard who brought her food, and escaped.She contacted hunters and paid off Miles, one of Kane's men, to help her from the inside.A few days later, Kane left with the main force to patrol the border.That afternoon, Miles brought water to my room.I was reading in bed. He set the glass on my nightstand. "Your water, Luna."I murmured a reply and waited for him to leave before putting my book down.The water was perfectly clear.But as I brought it to my lips, I caught a faint smell of bitter almonds.Poison was common in the slums. I'd learned to recognize it early, just to stay alive.I carried the glass to the window and poure

Half an hour later, the camp square was packed.Logan stood before the stage. Clara was bound to a wooden post.From the edge of the stage, I threw the memory crystal at his feet.It cracked open. Clara's voice rang across the square."You didn't steal those church donations. I hid the money under your bed, then brought people to look for it."Her confession continued, laying out her plot with the hunters to poison me.Logan growled. He turned, seized her throat, and lifted her off the ground."You dared to lie to me!"She kicked and struggled for breath. "I was wrong, Logan! I really regret it!"I only did it because I love you so much. Please forgive me!"Logan threw her down and stared at her for a long time."You never loved me."You loved the idea of being Luna."Barely conscious from pain, Clara crawled toward me."Lila, we're sisters. You can't let me die!""Sisters?"I crouched and pulled her head up by the hair."Five years ago, you locked me in a room and set it on fire. If i

Chapter 10

The Council of Elders took Logan back to the pack house.He survived, but losing his fated mate had driven his wolf mad.Every full moon, he lost control, threw himself against his door, and searched for me, calling my name.The Council soon stripped him of his position as Alpha.His guards abandoned him one by one. A new Alpha took over the pack house.Some of his former followers went to other territories. Others came to us.Kane turned no one away.From the stage, he told the new members our rules."Anyone willing to follow the rules can stay."Alphas aren't above Omegas here. Those who can fight protect the territory. Everyone else produces what we need and tends the sick and wounded."We share our food and defend our borders together. No one gets to bully another pack member."The newcomers howled, formally joining the pack.Logan was eventually locked in an underground cell, his hands and feet bound with silver chains. He never came out again.People said he often spoke to the em
