Minato Cloak Novels & Stories

I was seventeen when Rowan Ashcroft promised we’d disappear together. I was eighteen when my father sold me to a monster. For twelve years, I played the perfect trophy wife to Julian Cross ruthless Alpha, billionaire, and the man who owned me in every way that mattered. To the world, I was elegant, untouchable, and flawlessly obedient. Behind closed doors, I was a prisoner, drugged into submission to bury the truth of what I am: a Silver Omega, the last of a bloodline the supernatural Council has hunted to extinction. But the drugs are wearing off. And I’m carrying a child that should not exist. When Julian discovers his “perfect” wife is pregnant with forbidden blood, he’ll do far worse than kill me—he’ll make me wish he had. So I run. I don’t get far. Rowan Ashcroft finds me first. Once my best friend and the boy I loved, he is now the Council’s deadliest Enforcer, marked in silver and colder than death itself. He hasn’t come to save me. He’s come to end the threat my bloodline poses. Instead, he offers me a devil’s bargain: Three months. A fake mating bond. His protection in exchange for my temporary submission. The bond is meant to be a lie—just a way to cloak my scent and hide me in plain sight. But when his mark sears into my skin, it awakens something ancient, feral, and unstoppable inside me. I was never meant to be owned. I was never meant to be erased. Julian wants his property back. The Council wants me dead. They’re both about to learn the same brutal truth: The woman they tried to break has finally become untouchable.

On the day of Winter Hunt, Grayson Ashcroft, the future Alpha of the pack, successfully hunts down a white deer, which is very rare to be seen in the woods. He's about to give the prize to me when Raven Black, a she-wolf who has just joined the Northwind pack, speaks up. She points at the deer while saying, "Grayson, you promised that you'd give me a present. Is it okay if I ask for that present to be this deer?" I am Grayson's mate. Before the hunt, Grayson has vowed to the Moon Goddess that he'll give me the first prey he has hunted. All the wolves await the humiliating moment when Raven's request will get turned down. Surprisingly, Grayson gives her the white deer instead. "Since you like the deer that much, you can have it. Winters in the north can be very harsh and cold. I'll have someone make the deer's pelt into a cloak that you can wear." All the wolves in the pack turn to look at me at that moment. Feeling rather conflicted, Grayson says to me, "Ella, I'll give you something else that's better next time. Just let Raven have the white deer today, okay?" It has been less than half a year since Raven joined the Northwind pack. But during those months, Grayson has repeatedly asked me to give away a few things so far. This includes a silver ring that has his baby fang embedded in it, the spot next to him during the Full Moon Assembly, and the bear paw that he has severed during his first solo hunt. As I gaze at Grayson, who expects me to obey him as always, I can only smile in a self-derogatory manner. Since he wants me to let Raven have her way all the time, I might as well give this mate of mine to her at this point. Yes, I don't want him anymore.
