MasukI slept with my husbands Beta. It was a mistake, or not? But I'm addicted. How can't I be? I am Diane Demora, Luna of the Delta Pack, but my marriage is a lie. For two years, Julian has played the perfect husband—gentle, patient, understanding. Yet every night, he leaves my bed empty. He lets me believe I'm infertile and there's no need for sex. After one final rejection, I run. I end up in a dark bar, desperate to forget. That's where I meet him—an older stranger whose touch awakens parts of me I thought had died. He claims me with a hunger I have never known, and for one reckless night, I let myself belong to him. Then everything falls apart. Hidden among pack records, I discover a medical audit. Three months after our wedding, Julian had a vasectomy. The truth shatters me. He never wanted a family. Never wanted an heir. Never wanted me. All he ever wanted was my father's throne. On my way to confront him, I uncover something worse. Hidden in the library shadows, I find my husband on his knees before a man whose face I cannot see. You think that's the worst of it. You're wrong. The nightmare peaks when Julian introduces the pack's new Beta and my personal guard: Dom Vormos. The same man from the bar. The same man who unraveled me with a single touch. The same man I can't forget. Now I'm trapped between a husband who wants me dead and a Beta who wants me far too much. But I refuse to be a victim. Julian will pay for every betrayal. And as for Dom? If claiming him is what it takes to become the worst wife this pack has ever seen, then so be it.

The water in the tub was cold, but my skin felt like it was boiling, as if it were on fire.
I leaned my head back against the cold surface of the tub and closed my eyes.
I was in heat. Every few weeks, this heavy, pulsing hunger took over my body. It was a reminder that I was a wolf—and that I was a woman.
I tried to help myself. My fingers moved under the water, searching for some kind of relief.
But no matter what I did, it wasn't working. It was like trying to put out a forest fire with a cup of water.
I needed a man. I needed my husband.
I got out of the bath and dried off quickly. I knew it was time. My heart raced in anticipation. I went to my closet and picked out a piece of black lace that cost more than most people made in a year. I put it on and stood in front of the mirror.
Taking one last glance at myself, I looked beautiful, but I felt empty. At least, for now.
I sat on the edge of the bed, listening. Finally, I heard his footsteps in the hallway.
My nose flared, catching the soul-satisfying male scent before I even saw him. The door finally opened, and he walked in.
Julian Demora.
Alpha of the Delta Pack. He had been Alpha since my father passed away two years ago.
Handsome as always, but his tie was loose and his face looked tired. It was expected. He had just returned home after four days away.
"Julian," I called, my voice sounding small in the big room.
He looked at me and paused. A small, kind smile appeared on his face as he walked over and sat beside me on the bed.
"You look beautiful, Diane," he whispered.
I didn't waste a second. I moved into his arms, pressing my hot face against his cool neck. I could smell his scent—pine and expensive cologne.
“Welcome, my Alpha,” I whispered into his ear.
I started kissing his jaw, my hands shaking as I tried to unbutton his shirt.
"I missed you so much, my king," I murmured against his skin. "I’ve been waiting for you."
Julian didn't pull away. Instead, he wrapped his arms around me and held me close. He stroked my hair gently, and for a moment, I thought he was finally going to stay.
He leaned in and kissed me—a soft, sweet kiss on the lips. My eyes closed, anticipating more, but then he pulled away.
“I missed you too, baby,” he whispered, looking down, probably admiring my sexy outfit.
Then his gaze shifted back to my face.
"I'm sorry, honey," he said, pulling back just an inch. He cupped my face in his hands and looked into my eyes with pity. "I know it’s your time. But…" he exhaled. “This is not the right time for this, Diane.”
My blood ran cold. Just for a second, but I wasn't about to give up. Not yet.
My hand went around his neck, wrapping around it. I moved forward, almost pushing my cleavage into him. I leaned in for another kiss. My lips met his again, my hand traveled down his back, and… he pulled away.
“Diane,” he called low, his soft eyes on mine. “We can't… look, baby, I just came to pick some stuff up.”
My hand dropped from his neck. The heat burning inside of me was enough to make me go insane, and he was saying we can't? After I had waited for him for four days?
“Do you remember that I am in heat, Julian?” I asked, my eyes almost glassy now.
“Yes, baby, I do,” he replied, eyes soft and calm. I knew he did. I had sent him messages again and again about how much I needed him. And he wasn't so daft not to know why.
"Then stay," I begged, clutching his shirt. "Please, Julian. Just tonight."
He sighed and kissed my forehead. It was the kind of kiss a father gives a daughter, not a husband giving his wife.
"There’s a crisis at the company," he said softly. "The border patrols found something, and the board members are waiting for me. I only came home to grab some files."
“Julian, this company—it's ours. It can wait. The board members can wait. Everything can wait.”
“You too, baby, you can—”
He didn't finish his statement when his phone buzzed in his pocket.
His hand dug in, retrieving the device. He looked at the screen and stood up, smoothing out his suit. I stepped backward.
"Go back to sleep," he said, giving me one last gentle smile. "I'll have Freda bring you some tea to help you relax. I’ll see you in the morning."
He turned and walked out, talking into his phone before he even cleared the doorway.
The door clicked shut.
I slumped onto the bed, sitting there in my lace underwear, feeling foolish and cold. My eyes welled up.
It's been months. Months since Julian even touched me the way he used to. The way a husband should touch his wife.
Now, let's not even talk about the “loving” way he had just rejected me. Even if I wanted to convince myself, I knew that this… this wasn't my Julian. This Julian wasn't the same Julian who would go crazy over me.
Who couldn't stand the sight of my exposed thigh.
This Julian—he didn't want me. This Julian prioritized his title over his status as a husband.
My vision blurred, and I felt it trickle down—tears. Not of agony, but of frustration.
The heat in my blood hadn't gone away. It was worse now. I felt like I was going to explode if I stayed in this quiet, empty room.
My hand flew to my face, wiping my tears away.
I stood up, walking to my closet. I grabbed a long coat to hide my lingerie. I didn't care that it was late. I didn't care that I was the Alpha's wife—the Luna of this pack.
I needed to go somewhere where the air was fresh and the music was loud enough to drown out the sound of my own heart.
I was going to a bar deep inside the town. A place where no one knew I was a “Queen” who was being treated like a ghost.
“Get the car ready,” I snapped at the guard in the hall as I walked out. “And don't follow me. I'm going alone.”
Celine I stood silently by the tall glass window of my room. The night outside was pitch-black. I rested my palm against the cool glass, staring down into the quiet yard below. Parked under the towering trees was my car. Jax had repaired it. The dented fender was smoothed out, the shattered headlight was replaced with fresh glass, and the dark paint sparkled even under the dim moonlight. But I hadn't seen him since that morning. Ever since the day he dropped me off in front of the pack headquarters, he had vanished into thin air. He never stopped by. I let out a soft, heavy sigh, my breath fogging up the glass window. I looked across the empty yard. Once upon a time, this place was full of bright lights, loud laughter, and children playing near the garden. It used to be a home filled with joy and celebration. Now, it was just a dark, lonely space surrounded by trees, cold wind, and faint porch lights. There were no guards stationed at the gate anymore. There was no security
Julian.Rocco rested his elbow on the arm of his chair, taking another long, slow puff from his cigarette. “How I got this file is none of your concern, Julian,” Rocco said, his voice dropping into a quiet, chilling tone. “I know every single thing that moves in and out of your palace. Do not play games with me. I am only showing you this because an official investigation is already being launched using those exact records.” I froze in my seat. My blood turned to liquid ice. “Investigation?” I whispered, my voice barely audible over the quiet hum of the room. “The money listed on those pages...” Rocco murmured, tilting his head slightly. “Did you really think nobody was going to notice it was missing?” I didn’t answer him. I couldn’t. My tongue felt like rock inside my mouth. Every single dollar listed in that ledger was money I had secretly pulled from the pack treasury to pay the black-market dealer in the Borderlands. “How the fuck did you get this?!” I slammed my open palm h
julian. “Name your price,” I said without missing a beat. Rocco didn’t answer me right away. He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers twice. A tall assistant stepped out from a dark corner of the room carrying a silver tray with a crystal decanter and two glass cups. The assistant poured amber liquid into one glass and set it down on the table right in front of Rocco. My throat felt dry from the long drive. I reached my hand across the glass table to pick up the drink. Before my fingers could touch the crystal, Rocco slapped his palm down onto the table, stopping my hand in mid-air. “I didn’t say that drink was for you,” Rocco said coldly, his dark eyes fixing on mine. “That is my glass.” I pulled my hand back, forcing a faint, easy laugh to cover my annoyance. “Your visitor doesn’t even get a glass of water?” “An uninvited visitor has no business touching my drinks,” Rocco replied smoothly. He picked up his glass, took a slow sip, and let out a long breath. “You came
Julian I pushed through the padded inner doors of the club, stepping carefully into the crowded, dark hallway. Thick red and blue lights spun overhead. The air was warm, smelling faintly of sweet perfume, cold beer, and sweat. I kept my head down, slipping past two broad bouncers standing near the doorway. Neither of them gave me a second look. I leaned my back against the dark wall. My eyes scanned the flashing room, searching for one single face. And then I spotted him. Dominic was sitting on a high wooden stool near the main bar counter. The dim neon lights hit his broad shoulders. He was still wearing his dark leather biker jacket, looking relaxed and completely at home in the middle of the noise. His helmet rested on the counter beside a half-empty glass of dark liquor. I froze, my chest tightening as I watched him from the dark corner. A young dancer in a short sequined dress swayed over to his stool. She wrapped her arms around his neck, whispering something i
