Only as His Breeder

Mariana’s POVBut still I deceived him. The one he has been waiting all his life manipulated him in the end. If that is not the worst thing to do, then I don’t know what is. I staggered as my knees hit the floor, the chains dragging with me. My breath shook uncontrollably.The memories that I got to peek inside his head due to the mate bond is replaying in my mind over and over again. He was never blind. He was never indifferent. He was never fooled the way I thought.He wanted me long before he ever admitted it to himself.The realization hollowed me out. He isn’t someone I can handle. “Rozen,” I whispered. “I never meant to hurt you. It’s just that…”I took a long breath. Am I ready to tell him everything? Can I tell him that, ‘oh, I went into prison for Evan’s murder but he betrayed me so I need to have my revenge with the use of your sister’s face and identity’. He stared at me with empty eyes and hidden animosity. For a second, I thought he would walk away but he inched close

The Branded Wolf

Mariana’s POVPain only worsened its grip on me when I woke up.The chains bite into my wrists when I shift even a little and the mark carved into my shoulder burns into my flesh straight into my nerves at the same exact time of my pulse like they are counting my heartbeats.I try to reach for Nirvana but the deafening silence answers me back. My throat tightens and I feel empty knowing that Empress successfully took my wolf from me. I press my forehead against the cold stone beneath me, teeth clenched too hard that my whole mouth started bleeding. “I cannot afford to break,” I gritted my teeth while trying to fight off the dizziness. “Not now. I will never let them watch me lose myself.”The door creaked open and Empress came in delighted to see that I was up. “You are finally awake. Good thing because we can start again.”I lift my head just enough to see her standing beyond the iron bars. Her gaze drags over me, assessing how weak I am. I snorted and spat blood. I hate that loo

Queen of Ash and Blood

Mariana’s POV“There is no escaping from me, Mariana.”Empress’ voice had been living inside my skull for the past days that her silence felt like violence.But then again, she’s back controlling my mind and body. She jumped in the air and pulled me back to the ground.“You and your wolf are mine, Mariana!”I was kneeling on the cold marble of the tower, my hands trembling while she stood before me, holding my body down until my spine bowed before her without my permission.“That’s right, Mariana! Kneel before me just like that night when you asked me to help you!” Nirvana screamed inside me and a wild, ripping sensation tearing me through bone and memory. I gasped, my fingers digging into the stone when I remembered exactly that night. “I was not the one who asked for your help first. You gave me the idea! You manipulated me! Now, tell me who is really the desperate one between the two of us?”I lifted my head laughing at her frowning face.“You are weak, Mariana. You cannot even

The Dawn of the New Moon

Mariana’s POVWeeks passed like a long exhale.The Silverthorne pack won the battle decisively while Victor Phillips perished relinquishing his indictment in the council for me. In my heart, I was a bit disappointed because I wasn’t able to clear my name for him. He died thinking that it was Mariana Rose who killed his beloved mate. I underwent another plastic surgery to restore my real face while Rozen cleared my name before the council, having found out that it was Evan who killed Victor’s former mate. Jezebel has been locked up while Glenda formally left the pack seeing that she cannot turn Rozen's affection back to her. Silverwood healed slowly and the whole pack worked side by side in rebuilding.When they saw me, they stopped not to whisper rumors but to acknowledge me. “Greetings, Mariana Rose,” they said in unison. The name felt a bit strange but it also felt liberating hearing them say my real name for the first time. I nodded and smiled back. Children ran around the p
