Quand j'ai été encerclée par la meute de renégats loin de notre territoire, j'ai envoyé un lien mental à mon compagnon, Alpha Luke, le suppliant de m'aider. Il m'a refusée quinze fois — et finalement, il a bloqué complètement le lien. À la fin, je me suis effondrée d'épuisement et j'ai perdu connaissance, ma louve hurlant de désespoir. Quand je me suis réveillée à l'infirmerie, Alex, le commandant de la Tribu des Loups-Garous, était assis calmement à mes côtés. C'était lui qui avait reçu mon appel désespéré. Il avait mené ses guerriers, écrasé les renégats et m'avait arrachée à la mort. J'ai pris une grande inspiration et j'ai dit avec une détermination sans faille : « Alex, j'ai pris ma décision. J'irai dans le Territoire du Nord pour l'entraînement. Je pars dans deux jours. » Dix minutes plus tard, Luke a fait irruption dans la pièce avec Kristie — sa soi-disant sœur adoptive — et nos jumeaux qui le suivaient de près. « Tu as monté cette mise en scène juste pour éclipser Kristie ? Tu te rends compte de la force guerrière que tu as gaspillée pour flatter ton ego ? Tu ne mérites pas d'être Luna ! » Mon fils aîné, Chris, m'a lancé un regard perçant et a ricané : « Elle est où, ta blessure, Maman ? Tu as l'air en parfaite santé. Tu as tout simulé juste pour attirer l'attention ? » Mon fils cadet, Colin, m'a regardée avec des yeux pleins de déception. Il a lentement secoué la tête et a murmuré : « Maman, tu nous as encore menti… juste parce qu'on aime davantage Kristie ? » Kristie a serré la main de Luke, sa voix tremblait d'une fausse innocence tandis que des larmes coulaient sur ses joues : « Je suis désolée, Christina… Je ne fêterai plus jamais mon anniversaire. S'il te plaît… arrête de créer des problèmes à Luke et aux jumeaux. » J'ai serré les poings, retenant ma louve furieuse. J'ai regardé les quatre tourner les talons et sortir sans un seul regard en arrière.

Zen is known as the feared leader of the Astral Guardians, a group of Alphas revered as the peacekeepers. His reputation isn't just because he hails from the renowned Silver Luminaries Pack, but also due to his fierce nature and intelligence. Enemies shudder at the thought of facing him, thanks to his exceptional combat skills. He's also a master tactician and strategist. However, beneath his fame lies a dark secret—he is not a natural-born Alpha. Hunter is the sole survivor of an experiment, a fact known only to his adoptive father. Despite his widespread acclaim, questions linger about Zen. People wonder why he remains unbonded, as he is the last child of the Silver Luminaries' leader without a mate. Zen disregards this, believing an artificial Alpha like him is unlikely to form a mate bond. This changes when he meets Aleah De Luna, the granddaughter of his father's friend, who arranges to marry him. From their first meeting, Zen understands why his family chose Aleah—she is weak and wolfless, a total outcast in the Guevarra family. Initially, Zen accepts the marriage to honor his father's wishes and repay his debt of gratitude for raising him. But when he discovers that Aleah is his fated mate and witnesses her near-death experience, Zen cannot bear to see her in danger. Determined to protect her, he vows to reject her as his mate. This decision brings forth the greatest challenge he has ever faced, far more daunting than any battle. Even his Demon Alpha persona cannot withstand the charisma of Aleah.
