INICIAR SESIÓNShe was rejected as wolfless. She returned marked by the Alpha King. Lyra Ashborne has spent her life as her pack's greatest disappointment-the Alpha's daughter without a wolf, abandoned by the man she loved for her own sister. Humiliated and facing execution, she makes a desperate choice: a single night with a stranger in the forest. She didn't know he was Dominic Blackthorne, the Alpha King. She didn't know their passion would forge a mating bond that brands her soul. Now Lyra must survive the mating ball with her mark exposed, her cruel family demanding she present a mate or die. Dominic searches for the Moon Goddess heir to break his bloodline's curse, unaware the woman he can't stop craving is the key to everything. When enemies close in and hidden powers awaken, Lyra must claim her destiny-or lose the mate who sees her true worth. A steamy fated-mates werewolf romance where the underdog becomes queen.
Ver másVivienne stared at Lyra's neck as though she could force the mark to reappear through sheer determination."No," she said, stepping closer. "There was a mark there."She pushed Lyra's hair away from her shoulder and examined the skin beneath it. The basement was dimly lit, but there was enough light for everyone to see what she was seeing—or rather, what she wasn't seeing. The mark that had been there earlier was gone."I saw it myself," Vivienne insisted. "It was right here."Lyra frowned and lifted a hand to her neck. Her fingertips brushed over the spot where the mark had been that morning. She remembered touching it in the forest clearing after waking up. She remembered the panic that had followed when she realized what it meant. Yet now the skin felt completely smooth."What mark?" she asked quietly, pretending not to understand what Vivienne was talking about.Vivienne turned toward her so quickly that her dress swished around her ankles."The mark from that rogue," she snapped.
Dominic had always hated the pageantry that came with his title, but the Ashbourne pack’s attempt to impress him was especially suffocating. Even the guards at the entrance stood a little too stiffly, their eyes skittering past his face as they bowed and ushered him inside. He imagined they half-expected him to tear out someone's throat on the spot just for a crooked smile.He stepped out, stretching his legs, and the cold air bit pleasantly at his face. Adrian joined him, wearing the same crisp suit he favored for council business, though he’d left the tie hanging loose around his neck. There was no need for decorum tonight, not here. Not with the council’s little errand.“Ready?” Adrian asked, voice pitched low enough to avoid the driver’s ears.Dominic’s jaw flexed. “Let’s get this over with.”They crossed the yard in silence, Adrian only half a step behind, as always. The porch loomed ahead, crowded with elders and pack dignitaries, all of them watching him with a blend of awe an
Alpha King Dominic woke with a smile on his face.For the first few seconds, he simply lay there, staring up at the canopy above him. Sunlight filtered through the branches, mixing with the fading silver glow of the full moon. The cool morning air carried the scent of pine and damp earth, and for a moment everything felt strangely peaceful.Then he reached toward the space beside him.His hand touched empty grass.The smile vanished.Dominic sat up so quickly that the world seemed to tilt around him. His eyes immediately searched the clearing, moving from the pool to the surrounding trees before returning to the spot where Lyra had been sleeping only hours ago.She was gone.He got to his feet and turned in a slow circle."Where are you?""Good morning to you, too."The familiar voice came from behind him.Dominic spun around and found Adrian, his beta and childhood best friend, standing several feet away with his arms folded across his chest. Judging by his expression, he had been wa
Lyra didn't stop running until the forest began to thin and the familiar outline of her home appeared through the trees.The forest seemed different in the daylight.Less frightening.More familiar.Yet every step she took only made her thoughts race faster. How was she supposed to explain the mark? The mating ball was tonight.The realization made her groan aloud.Of all days for this to happen, it had to happen on the day every unmated wolf in the kingdom would gather under one roof.Lyra picked up her pace.By the time her family's house appeared through the trees, she was almost running.Relief washed through her as she climbed the porch steps and reached for the door.Unfortunately, fate seemed determined to test her patience one more time. The door opened, and Vivienne stepped out.For a moment, both sisters froze.Vivian looked as though she had just returned from the pack house. Her hair was slightly messy, and there was a softness on her face that hadn't been there the previo
