Mag-log in“Was it you?” Luna Rosalia demanded. “Were you the one convincing Lynn to leave Ned?”
I wrenched her hand off my neck and twisted her arm in one motion, slamming her against the window before she could draw another breath.
“What the fuck are you doing?” she shrieked, struggling against my hold. “Let go of me! I am your Luna!”
“And I’m no longer the same Gwen who sat quietly in the corner while y
“I don’t have a mistress!” Kaelen’s jaw flexed.“Oh, really?” I challenged. “Then where did you spend the night?”A slow, infuriating smile tugged at the corner of his lips.“Are you jealous?” he asked, his tone shifting to amusement. “Did you miss having me in our bed?”Heat rushed to my face, though I refused to let him see it.“Don’t flatter yourself! I’m simply reminding you that I’m not some random female wolf you married. If you’re accustomed to warming other beds, that won’t continue in this marriage!”He reached up and gently cupped my chin. Amusement flickered in his golden eyes as he leaned closer.My breath caught in my throat when I realized how little distance remained between our faces.“You want me all to yourself,” he murmured. Warm breath g
A sharp knock on the door startled me awake. I shot upright in bed, my heart hammering as instinct flooded me with fear before my mind caught up.“Lady Kira?”I let out a quiet sigh of relief when I recognized Martha’s voice on the other side of the door.“Come in!” I called.She stepped inside, carrying a pitcher of water. After handing me a glass, she crossed to the wardrobe and began selecting a dress for me.“How was your night?” she asked as though it were any ordinary morning. “You have five minutes to get ready. Alpha Kaelen is waiting for you in the dining hall.”The mention of my husband’s name made my fingers drift to my lips. Heat spread through me, as though his scent still lingered on my skin.Then I rolled my eyes.His scent hadn’t been the only one clinging to him last night. Another woman&rsquo
Alpha Kaelen’s expression darkened as he easily forced me back onto the bed.I glared at him, unable to look away as the mate bond throbbed violently between us. Every instinct urged our wolves toward each other, but all I felt was disgust.“W-what was that?” he asked.Our wolves had recognized one another. But I refused to let mine answer the call.“You...” I whispered, unable to hide my disbelief. “How are you the mate the Moon Goddess chose for me?”“Mate?” His eyes are narrowing.Despite the undeniable pull between us, my anger surged back with full force. With the reputation he carried throughout the territories, there was no way I would let him treat me like this. He literally smelled of another woman!“I’m not going to sleep with someone like you!” I snapped. “You reek of another she-wolf!”
[Kira]After the wedding ceremony, Alpha Kaelen left the manor. His beta had summoned him for pack matters, though I had no desire to know what demanded his attention.I still wasn’t certain what fate I had thrown myself into. Still, one thing remained clear: I would find a way to convince my husband to let me continue my studies at the Lycan Academy.Martha prepared a warm bath for me, and I couldn’t shake the anxiety curling in my stomach over what might happen later that night.“Lady Kira...” Martha began softly as she poured warm water over my shoulders. “Forgive me for asking, but I still can’t believe you chose to come to Thornfell. Didn’t you love Sir Zev? He must be grieving your marriage.”“Please... don’t speak of him again.”She fell silent for a moment before gathering the courage to contin
[Lucian] “What?!” my father roared as the two warriors delivered their report the moment they returned to the pack house. They had only just come back from escorting Kira to Thornfell’s border. “Alpha Kaelen personally escorted Kira and Martha,” one warrior reported, his voice trembling with fear. “No one else was permitted to cross into Thornfell’s territory.” “They also instructed us to hand this over after ordering us to leave the border,” a servant said, stepping forward with an envelope. Inside was the marriage contract bearing the names of Kira and Kaelen Cross. Attached to it was an official treaty from Thornfell declaring that, with Blackwood having fulfilled its obligation by sending Kira as the bride, peace between the two packs would remain intact. “They also sent several boxes,” another warrior added, gesturing toward the crates being carried in behind him. “Gemstones, mostly. Other valuables from their territory. A gesture of good faith, they said.” “Alpha...” I said
My heart pounded violently against my ribs, and my hand instinctively moved toward the whistle beneath my dress.“Enough!” I shouted before either side could lose control. “I am about to become your Alpha’s mate, your Luna! Touch me again, and I’ll personally see to it that you never use that hand again.”“Luna?” The guard let out a mocking laugh before spitting onto the ground. “My ass!”His eyes swept over me with open lust.“I’ll fuck you right here at the border before you ever make it to the Alpha’s pack house.” His grin turned downright vicious. “Let’s see if your little dream of becoming our Luna survives that.”He lunged for me, and every muscle in my body locked in place. Before his hand could reach me, a dagger whistled through the air and drove clean through his palm.A bloodcurdling scream ripped from his throat as blood splattered across my dress. The laughter vanished. Every wolf at the borde

“Can’t you see we’re dying?” Jake said, his voice tight as he faced the shadow guard who had barged into the room. “So, it’s acceptable to take a life just to save your own?” the man shot back. The moment the door burst open and the air conditioner cut off, the atmosphere in the room shifted insta
The memory of last night’s conversation with my roommates about Virel’s executioner stayed with me as I headed to my Healing & Poison Resistance class.“Maybe he’s not my mate,” I muttered under my breath. “Yeah… maybe it’s nothing more than the fact that he’s devastatingly hands
[Gwyneth] All my wounds had vanished as I stared at my reflection in the shower mirror. ‘How did he do it? How did he heal me without my wolf noticing, and inside the academy grounds?’ “Tss! It’s not impossible to bring in a healer anywhere. That must be it,” I muttered, trying to brush it off.
