Jarek yanked me into his arms squeezing me tightly. "That is not how that works here." His hand had moved to my skin sending those same tingles through my body.

لم يكن قصر آل السيوفي يشبه البيوت التي تسكنها العائلات بقدر ما كان يشبه الذاكرة نفسها؛ ضخمًا، صامتًا، وممتلئًا بما لم يُقَل. في ذلك المساء، كانت السماء فوقه رمادية على نحو ثقيل، كأنها تعرف أن شيئًا ما انتهى بالفعل، وأن شيئًا آخر أكثر خطورة على وشك أن يبدأ. اصطفّت السيارات السوداء أمام البوابة الحديدية الواصلة إلى المدخل الرئيسي، ودخل المعزون وغادروا، لكن الحزن في داخل القصر لم يكن حزنًا خالصًا. كان ممزوجًا بترقب خفي، بشيء أقرب إلى الجوع. مات رائد السيوفي. الرجل الذي بنى اسمه من لا شيء، ثم شيّد من ذلك الاسم إمبراطورية كاملة، رحل أخيرًا بعد صراع قصير مع المرض. وبينما كانت الصحف تتحدث عن رجل الأعمال الكبير، وعن إرثه الاقتصادي، وعن عشرات المشاريع التي حملت توقيعه، كان ورثته مجتمعين في الصالون الكبير ينتظرون ما هو أهم في نظرهم: الوصية. جلست ناهد السيوفي على الأريكة المقابلة للمدفأة غير المشتعلة، مستقيمة الظهر، مرتبة المظهر، كأن الموت مرّ بجانبها فقط ولم يمسّها. كانت ترتدي الأسود من رأسها حتى قدميها، لكن عينيها لم تكونا حزينتين. كان فيهما شيء بارد، شيء لا يلين. عن يمينها جلس سليم، الابن الأكبر، بوجهه الحاد ونظرته الجامدة. لم يتحرك كثيرًا منذ دخوله، ولم يتبادل مع أحد كلمة لا ضرورة لها. بدا كتمثال صُنع ليحرس اسم العائلة لا ليحمل مشاعره. أما مازن، الأخ الأوسط، فكان يجلس بطريقة توحي باللامبالاة، لكن أصابعه التي تضرب ببطء على ذراع المقعد كانت تفضحه.

The Moon Goddess never chose me. At least, that’s what I thought. Abandoned as a baby, raised as Ridge Storm Pack’s pity project, I learned to fight for every grade, every scrap of respect, every breath inside Silver Ridge Academy’s walls. A place built on the Great Accord where wolves, fae, witches, and dragon-blooded heirs train together under wards older than memory. A place where dominance is currency, and I’ve always been bankrupt. Then they found me. Callum. Jaxon. Rory. Seth.
The Ridge Storm Quadruplets. Thirty-five years old, untouchable, infamous. Alphas without a Luna, warriors feared across Lycandra, second only to the Supreme Alphas who oversee the realm for the triplet Lycan Kings themselves. They say no wolf has ever been chosen by four Alphas. The bond resonance that detonated between us has never happened in history—ten out of ten on the wards. Unprecedented. Impossible. And yet, here we are. Their storm, their blaze, their rogue, their prince.
My shadows. My chains. My undoing. Every touch sparks like lightning. Every glance feels like a promise I’m terrified to believe. Because if the Goddess gave me to them, She can take it back. And I don’t know what’s more dangerous—fighting this bond, or surrendering to it. One thing is certain: the closer my birthday—and my first shift—draws, the more the power inside me rises. Something none of us understand. Something even the Supreme Alphas are watching. And when the truth comes out, not even the Great Accord will save me.

When Harper wakes up that morning with a headache and prepares to get dressed to go to her little brother's graduation ceremony, she does not imagine that that same day, a handsome gentleman with an enigmatic look and a flirtatious smile will cross her path and that will dazzle her completely as soon as she sees him sitting in that subway car. One thing will lead to another, and in a matter of minutes, a pair of new acquaintances will surrender to their desires, in the bathroom of a subway station. For him, Daniel Ansdell, it will be one more experience, one of so many he has had throughout his life.

For her part, Harper is not a white dove, but she is not a veteran in love matters either. Her complicated life has led her to consider a couple of priorities. And having a romantic relationship is not among them. She is a fun woman, without prejudice, but with many responsibilities. Together they will have to face a series of emotions and feelings that will emerge in the midst of a whirlwind of passions. She will not be able to understand why that man awakens her most primitive side. It will be very difficult for him to recognize that she has taken over his thoughts and his will.
