He is darkness and I am his light. At least that is what he says when we are together. However, come morning light he is someone different, someone cold that I don't recognize and he is hers instead of mine. Though our bodies call for each other under the moon, our hearts aren't meant to be during the day. He is my mate, the one the moon goddess has specifically chosen for me out of the millions of wolves that roam the earth. But he will never be mine since he is in love with her. She is the princess of our kingdom and he and she have been promised to each other since long ago. Therefore, I can only yearn for him during the day and greedily accept him by night. What happens when fascination turns to obsession and obsession turns to possession? Meet Gale, a young omega from the Fire Rose pack. She is an orphan that grew up in the military and she is the second in command to Chance, the alpha heir of her pack and her mate. Though they are mates, Chance believes in duty and has chosen to ignore their bond and marry the princess of the kingdom of Langley, a prosperous land that deals in herbs and stones for healing and magic. Though Chance has rejected her, he can't seem to leave her alone. During the day he is a responsible and cold leader. But by night he is a wild animal that can't keep his hands off of Gale. What will happen when Chance's fiance finds out about his secret affair? Will Chance be able to forget his promise to another to listen to his heart or will he and Gale forever just be a secret?

Andria responds, giving me a mischievous smile. "Don’t you remember a few years back when you promised to come and claim her once you turned eighteen?"Rolling my eyes, I try to ignore the ferocious blush that is attempting to stain my cheeks. How could she possibly bring up something I said when I was a ridiculous child? I didn’t know anything back then!"Anyway, Gale asked me to bring you along anyway." Andria continues as we begin to come to a stop."Whatever."As soon as the carriage is stopped, I jump out and begin to stare at the large compound ahead. I could only hope that the pink of my skin would disappear before Andria noticed, otherwise I was sure that I would never hear the end of it."Are you just going to stand there?" Andria laughs, wrapping an arm around my shoulders. "The party shoul
[Gale’s POV]"Mommy, mommy!" Letting a slow smile spread across my lips, I watched as Fallon rushed towards me with dandelions clasped in her pudgy little hands. "Flowers!""They’re beautiful." I murmur, accepting her gift. "Did you know, if you blow their seeds you can make a wish and it will come true?""Wish?" Fallon repeats, furrowing her brows adorably. "Like a wish for my brothers to come soon?" She tried.Nodding, I lifted a hand to tossle Fallon’s wild curls while she took a seat in the grass beside me. After wrapping an arm around her, I gently pulled her closer so we could watch Chance practice hand-to-hand with Gavin.I had to admit, there was nothing sexier than Chance completely shirtless and covered in sweat. I could honestly watch him like this all day. However, I would rather be the one training with him. Instead, all I could do was sit on the sidelines and take in his perfection."Mommy," Fallon murmurs, placing her hand on my much too large belly. "When will they com
[Chance’s POV]Gale and I sit together, taking in our post-wedding party beginning to take a turn due to too much excitement and alcohol. Once we finished with our ceremony, the grounds were quickly turned into a dance floor, and food, drinks, and alcohol were prepared while we changed into something less formal.Letting out a long breath, I swirl the half-empty glass of champagne that sits between my fingers. Beside me, Gale lets out a giggle and places her hand on my thigh."Come on, could you act a little more interested?" She giggles, giving my leg a squeeze. "Everyone came here to celebrate us, and you’re making it clear that you want them all gone right this minute.""And?" I challenge.It was no secret that I wasn’t a fan of things like this, and all I wanted to do at that moment was take my wife upstairs and ravish her. I didn’t think she realized just how fucking amazing she looked all done up like an angel, but since the moment I laid eyes on her walking down that aisle, I f
A Year Later[Gale’s POV]I stare at the woman looking back at me from the mirror. She is like a stranger, but also like an old friend who has always been there. However, she was definitely not the same woman from two years ago.This woman was stronger and wiser. She was more confident and sure of herself. If I had to say it, she was finally the best version of me that had always been waiting to be unleashed.‘You look beautiful.’ Anya murmurs, sending warmth through me. ‘But if you keep standing there, our mate will become impatient.’At her words, a thrum of excitement and nerves flows through me.She was right; I couldn’t continue to stand around here. Not only was Chance waiting on me, but also all of our friends and family.‘I’m going.’ I sigh, taking one last look at myself.I still couldn’t quite accept that this was actually me. Andria and Fiona had helped me prepare by doing my hair and makeup. They had a damn good job, if I did say so. My long blonde hair hung in perfect rin
[Chance’s POV]"Wake up! Don’t you dare fucking leave me. "Pain radiates throughout my entire body as I stare at the unmoving woman in front of me. She couldn’t die, I wouldn’t allow it. "Chance, move!" Ramone hisses, grabbing my shoulder and pulling. "Let the healers do their jobs!""No!" I snarl. "Let me go! I can’t leave her side! I have to be here when she wakes up!"I’m a madman. I know it, but the fear that is encompassing me is all-consuming. Never in my life did I ever think I would feel anything like this."MOVE!" Elleric roars, grabbing my other shoulder and helping Ramone move me away from Gale’s bedside so that the healers could get to her. "You need to calm down!""NO! NO! LET ME GO!"My body begins to flail as I keep my bleary gaze fixed on Gale as the healers begin to try CPR to get her back. It was almost as if I was watching them from somewhere far away. Everything around me was blurry, and a deafening ringing was making it harder and harder to hear. The whole world
[Chance’s POV]My eyes rake the crowd in front of me that is going crazy with excitement until I find Gale’s pale and shocked face between the bodies. Immediately, I begin to move, realizing that something isn’t quite right.When I manage to reach, all my eyes can focus on is the excess amount of blood that is dripping from beneath Gale as our friends try to do something to stop it."What’s going on?" I demand, kneeling in front of Gale and placing my hands on her cheeks. "Hey, look at me!""We need to get her back." Elleric snaps, pulling my hands away from his sister. "Can’t you see that she is barely hanging on?""I’m aware." I growl.Standing, I scoop Gale into my arms and begin to move. By now, the entire courtroom has taken notice of what is happening and is watching us with curiosity and worry."Move!" I growl, shoving the gawkers aside. "Can’t you fucking see that she needs medical attention?"Looking down, I take in Gale’s much too pale complexion and the sweat that is beginn
Eight Months Later[Gale’s POV]"Arabella, should you really be attending this?" Elleric demands as I examine myself in a mirror. "You could give birth any day now. The stress isn’t good for you or the child. "Turning, I took in my brother, who I had come to realize was extremely over-protective and a complete worry-wart. Even though I found it endearing, it was pretty irritating at times. Especially when he stuck his nose in my relationship with Chance.During his recovery period, Ramone had decided to tell him the entire story of Chance and I. Every. Last. Detail. After that, Elleric didn’t hesitate to voice his concerns over us being together. However, after some time, he was beginning to come around. Especially since the child that was rapidly growing every day in my belly was Chance’s. His worry over his precious sister being a single mother outdid his anger over the way I was treated in the past."I won’t suddenly go into labor simply by sitting in on a trial."No matter what e
[Gale’s POV]A Week LaterI stood close to Chance’s side as Charles led us towards the new medical wing of Grishan Castle that my brother was being held in. After the battle between Talon, Talia, and Armia, we had managed to confiscate the bottle that Talia had threatened me with.After dealing with the aftermath of the fighting, we were now able to attempt to wake Elleric. If he managed to come around, then he could take over as king of Grishan since our father was no longer here. "Don’t be nervous." Chance murmurs, wrapping a protective arm around my shoulders."I’m fine." I assure.Sure, I was nervous about getting to know my own brother all over again, but I was also excited.After growing up alone and only knowing pain and suffering, I was still getting used to all the love that surrounded me. I had to admit, it was quite pleasant. However, it was still hard to quite accept. Every now and then, I found myself stumbling and wondering if it was all a dream."In here." Charles anno
