Chapter: Chapter 4Lucien's POVThe putter struck the ball.It was a perfect stroke, calculated and cold.The ball rolled smoothly across the manicured green, tracing a line of absolute certainty before dropping cleanly into the hole."Excellent shot, Mr. Drakon."I handed the club back to my caddie without taking my eyes off the course, without breaking my stride.My expression didn't change.It never did.Then, my phone vibrated.A single, sharp buzz against my thigh.Very few people had this number.Fewer still dared to use it.The world knew better than to interrupt me.I slipped the device from my pocket and glanced at the screen.Edward Ashford.The name hit me like a physical blow, stopping my heart for a fraction of a second.The last time we'd spoken...Was four years ago.Four years of silence.Four years of waiting.Four years of watching from the shadows while she lived a life that didn't include me.I answered immediately."Edward."A quiet breath came from the other end, heavy with emotion

Chapter: Chapter 3Selene's POVThe call ended.The screen went black, reflecting my own distorted, tear-stained face back at me.That was it.There was no turning back now.No second chances.No path where I stayed and tried to salvage the ashes of a life that had already burned to the ground.I drew a slow, shaky breath, the air ragged in my throat. I wiped the tears from my face with the back of my hand, smearing the mascara, not caring anymore.Then, with trembling fingers, I opened the car door.The morning air was cool against my skin, a stark contrast to the feverish heat of my grief. It smelled of dew and pine, a world continuing its cycle as if mine hadn't just ended.I looked toward the Alpha House.Just yesterday...Yesterday, I had walked through those doors believing I was going to marry the man I loved.I had carried food, hope, and a future in my hands.Today, I was walking back inside to collect the pieces of a life that no longer belonged to me.To pack up the remnants of a dream that h

Chapter: Chapter 2Selene's POV "...She's my fated mate." The words didn't just hang in the air. They crashed down like a guillotine blade, severing the last thread of hope I had been clinging to. Heavy. Merciless. Final. I stared at Kieran, my vision blurring as I waited for the mask to slip. I waited for him to laugh, to throw his head back and tell me this was some cruel, twisted joke. I waited for him to pull me into his arms and swear that none of this was real, that the woman in our bed meant nothing, that I was the only one who mattered. He didn't. Instead, he held my gaze with that same quiet, stoic expression that had once made me feel safe, protected, loved. Now, it made me feel sick. It made my stomach churn with a nausea so deep I thought I might vomit. "And she's the one who's going to be my Luna." My fingers curled into fists so tight my nails dug into my palms, drawing blood I couldn't feel. "No." The word escaped before I could stop it, a pathetic, broken whispe

Chapter: Chapter 1Selene's POV The security guard's smile was warm, familiar, a stark contrast to the cold dread that would soon coil in my stomach. He opened the gates without hesitation. "Good evening, Miss Ashford." "Evening, Ben." My voice was light, airy. I drove slowly up the winding road, the gravel crunching softly under my tires, but my eyes were locked on the silhouette of the Alpha House. Specifically, on the black Range Rover parked in the driveway. Kieran's car. He was home. A genuine smile tugged at my lips, softening the fatigue of the day. Good. I parked beside his vehicle, the engine ticking as it cooled, but I didn't move immediately. Instead, I lifted my hand, the dim streetlight catching the brilliance of the diamond on my finger. I traced the band with my thumb, the metal cool against my skin, yet it burned with the weight of a promise. Two months. In exactly two months, the name on that ring would match my heart. In two months, I would become Selene B
