Goblet Of Shadows Ao3

“You belong to me now.” A promise. A threat. A hunger. Kael Volkov is the Alpha of Shadows—merciless, cold-blooded, a king carved from power and violence. His command is law, his body a weapon, his touch a sentence. He needs only one thing to secure his throne, a Luna who rules just like him. He never expected his wolf to snarl for a trembling Omega hiding in the dark. Rebecca has survived by disappearing—an orphaned shadow masking her silver-white blood, the last heir of a murdered lineage. The monster who destroyed her world sits on the throne. And his son, Kael,the Alpha who drags her into his chambers and chains her to his presence is every whispered nightmare she grew up fearing. She expects pain. Control. Domination. What she doesn’t expect is the bond. Every breath shared becomes a battle her fear against his hunger, her defiance against his command, her trembling innocence against his ruthless desire to claim, teach, consume. He tells himself she is property. His silence. His servant. His obedience to shape with touch and punishment. But his wolf knows the truth before he does, The girl he caged is his fated Luna. The fallen princess destined to dethrone him. And when her silver fire rises, Kael must choose between the crown he bleeds for, or the woman he would burn the world to keep. Dark desire. Forbidden bloodlines. A bond born in shadows and sealed in heat.

The scent of pine and damp earth clung to the air as the full moon created long shadows across the Ancient Clearing. Tonight, was supposed to be our marking ceremony, a sacred ritual binding Alpha Anderson and his chosen Luna before the eyes of the Frostmoon Pack. “My heart,” his gaze locked on Leah, who stood under the moonlight “has always belonged to another. My first love, the one whose spirit has been weakened by the venom of wolfsbane, is my Luna.” He drew Leah closer, his hand possessively circling her waist. Under the watchful gaze of the moon, he smiled. “Our traditions are clear,” he continued, “Only the woman who stands with me at this altar, witnessed by all, shall be my Luna. Though I had always thought that Irene was my mate which I mistakenly marked a time ago. But thanks to the goddess for making me see clearly before it was too late.” They exchanged vows beneath the trees, witnessed by the werewolves and the Moon Goddess. The silver crowns were placed, the ceremonial kiss sealed their bond. I stood hidden in the shadows of the surrounding forest. For twelve years, from the moment my wolf recognized his at eighteen until my thirtieth moon cycle, my love for Anderson had never changed. But his heart, it was clear, belonged to Leah. If that was the truth, then I would release him. He had never truly seen me, never truly cared. Yet, the act of my departure seemed to unravel him in ways I couldn’t understand.
