Elena is the human wife of an Alpha. She and her husband, Barrett, have been married for three years and are still in love; their biggest worry is not having children. Elena made many efforts to get pregnant, until she discovered that her husband had found a surrogate mother—his spokesperson, a noble-blooded werewolf. In the public eye, they were the "Golden Couple." Elena’s love fairy tale quickly collapsed. When she woke up, she realized she had become a bird willing to be trapped in a cage for the sake of this marriage. So, she dialed the number of her husband's biggest rival—her former employer...

They said pleasure and pain are the same thing, and Gabriel proved that to me the moment he claimed my body in the dark. A one-night stand turned into an obsession that burned every rule I ever knew. He is rough, wild, and possessive, taking me anywhere he wants—inside his office, inside his car, even in public places where we could get caught. He doesn't ask for permission; he takes. And I… I am addicted to every single second of it. This isn't just love. This is pure, unadulterated lust wrapped in danger, and I am willingly falling into the fire.

“I'm not just the vampire king of tales, Ellie. I'm a talented artist.” Vanchure said with every stroke he made on the canvas with his paintbrush. “So you can either be the one posing on my couch, behind the canvas, or be the one whose blood I will use in replacement for paints.” In a mystical world named Shirlon, there was a division of two powerful mythical creatures, two great kingdoms, with two great rulers. Speaking of which were the Black Pack, the werewolves, and the Thorx Coven, the vampire with the respect of law and order. These two kingdoms had a ball of symbiosis where they worked hand in hand to maintain their stable world. The werewolves were considered as the soldiers, the ones left to do the tough and dirty jobs within both kingdoms. While the soldiers had the day and night to themselves, the vampire blossomed in the dark. The vampires were also known as Royalties. They've been known to have ancient riches, making them superior to the soldiers. In these two kingdoms, they had their kings. Eamonn, Alpha of Black Pack, and Vanchure, king of Thorx Coven. They had maintained the order of peace and had always set their boundaries between each other until Ellie came along. Ellie was born of the soldiers, just a commoner that the Alpha of her Pack proclaimed as a mate. Ellie was set on a path to rescue her missing sister from the hands of the vampire king, Vanchure. But on her first encounter with that handsome devil, her whole life takes a different turn.

The skies suddenly turned dark. I looked at her and her eyes were twinkling while I felt an overwhelming presence around me. “I curse you Denver, in seven days time from now, you will lose your powers and there will be no way to get them back unless you seek the forgiveness of someone you hurt. I curse you as the queen of this kingdom that you destroyed and I curse you with the innocent blood of my people that you killed” the queen said to me and once she finished speaking, the dark clouds vanished and her eyes were back to normal. ***************** Alpha King Denver was a tyrant. He was the most powerful alpha in the werewolf realm. He was merciless, ruthless and never took mercy as an option. In his greed for more, he attacked a witch’s kingdom and got cursed so he lost his werewolf powers. The only way to get his powers back was to seek the forgiveness of someone he had hurt, and Yara fell into the description of the perfect person for that after he found her breaking into his pack to get revenge on him. So they made a deal, she would give what he wanted and he would also give her what she wanted. Only that the hatred they had for each other could kill. So was Yara ever going to be able to forgive Alpha King Denver? Could she even trust him to meet his own end of the deal? How exactly was their story going to play out?

Three days before my marking ceremony, someone set fire to the bridal shop while I was inside trying on my ceremonial dress. Alpha Marcus threw the arsonist into the pack prison, sentencing them to the harshest punishment our laws allowed. I lay in the hospital bed, my body covered in third-degree burns, refusing to wake fully as the reality of my disfigurement sank in. In my semi-conscious state, I heard Marcus speaking with the pack's healing witch. "Alpha, we can still heal her completely with the ancient magic. If we wait any longer, Sarah will bear these scars for life! You just want Miss Rachel to be your Luna at the marking ceremony. This is cruel beyond measure!" "Let her keep the scars. I'll provide for her for the rest of her life, but if she's healed, she'll definitely cause trouble at the marking ceremony." "I promised Rachel that her pup would be welcomed into the pack with full honors. Only when Sarah is completely disfigured will she be grateful enough to raise Rachel's child as her own. The scars are necessary - at least this way, she won't dare mistreat the pup." In the corner of the room, where no one was watching, a tear slid down my burned cheek. So this was the truth. The marking ceremony I'd dreamed of was nothing but a lie. The mate bond I longed for would be my death sentence. If that's how it had to be, I would give him what he wanted.

My mate bond with Alpha Ronan of the Blackthorne Pack had failed thirty-two times. I thought the Moon Goddess did not bless us. I thought if I endured a little longer, loved him a little harder, the next time would finally work. Until the thirty-third rite. Then the fire swallowed me whole. When I woke in the healers’ hall, my body was broken, my Moonborn Core was damaged. Only then did I hear Ronan speaking to his Beta outside the door. “If you love Selene that much, then sever the claim with Elara. The Blackthorne Pack can silence any rumor. Why keep staging accidents?” “She almost died,” his Beta said. “Ten years ago, the Alpha of Nightvale and his mate died saving me. This bond is how I repay that debt.” “I never wanted Nightvale’s bloodline chained to mine.” “The woman I love is Selene.” That was when I finally understood. The Moon Goddess had never rejected us. Ronan had. He saw my parents’ sacrifice as a chain around his neck. He saw Nightvale’s Moonborn bloodline as a cage built to trap him. And he would never know— the fire he arranged had already taken the child I carried. The true black-core heir Blackthorne had waited generations for. If Ronan hated this bond so much, I would give him what he wanted. I would sever the claim myself.
