CHAPTER 1 ~ TORMENT

PROLOGUE"I, Derek, the future Alpha of this pack, officially reject you, Heidi Artemis, as my destined mate and my future Luna. I sever the bond between us right now, and I banish you from ever seeking a place by my side." Derek nodded with glee as he straightened his posture. He grabbed the microphone tightly with his right hand and cleared his throat.A sharp pain pierced the center of my chest at his formal words. Pressing a hand against my sternum, I waited until the ache faded a few seconds later, signaling the complete break of our mate bond. Uncrossing my arms, I stepped closer and forcefully yanked the tall microphone stand from his grip. Derek looked shocked by the sudden movement, but made no effort to stop me."I, Heidi Artemis, proudly and happily accept your rejection," I announced, my voice echoing across the quiet clearing to reach every single person present. "I want to thank you for rejecting me today, Derek. I always knew we were mates, and the idea of spending the

CHAPTER 2 ~ REJECTION

HEIDI’S POVThe pack members quickly moved out of my way, leaving a wide and clear path toward the wooden stage, like how Moses parted the Red Sea… was it red? I don’t actually remember. Anyways, keeping my head held high and my shoulders pulled back, I listened to the loud whispers of the people around me. They called me a runt and a wolfless freak, but choosing to ignore their voices completely, I walked up the three wooden steps to stand in the center of the platform. Stopping exactly five feet away from Derek, I took in his expensive black suit and perfectly styled hair. He glared at me with pure hatred, but I met his eyes without flinching or looking away, simply waiting for him to speak."I cannot believe the fates paired me with the weakest member of our entire territory," Derek announced into the microphone, his voice carrying a tone of extreme arrogance. "You do not have a wolf, Heidi. You clean our floors, and you cook our food because that is the only value you provide to t

CHAPTER 3 ~ RETURN OF THE WARLORD

KURT’S POVWatching the absolute terror appear on my older brother's face, I took another deep drag from my cigarette and let the gray smoke fill my lungs. Erwin stood on the wooden stage and trembled violently, his expensive suit suddenly looking ridiculous on his aging, out-of-shape body. Exhaling the smoke slowly into the warm afternoon air, my thoughts drifted back. Fourteen years ago, Erwin plunged a silver blade deeply into my stomach and pushed me off a high rock into the freezing water of the territory river. He wanted the Alpha title for himself, deciding to murder his eighteen-year-old brother to acquire the position. He failed to kill me. Surviving the cold water and the severe blood loss, I spent the last fourteen years building a massive financial fortune and a heavily armed private army in secret locations, while Erwin destroyed our family business and pack territory with his weak leadership.Waking up very early this morning in a small hotel room located right outside t

CHAPTER 4 ~ MATE

KURT’S POVAs I watched the small girl yell directly into Derek's face, her voice rang clearly across the silent clearing. Every other person in the pack remained completely immobilized by my dominant energy field, with grown men and seasoned warriors pressing their faces into the dirt because they could not withstand the physical weight of my presence. Yet, this young woman stood perfectly upright. Crossing her arms over her chest and tapping her worn shoe on the wooden floorboards, she did not tremble or bow her head, looking completely unaffected by the heavy power I projected over the territory.Leaning forward in the carved wooden chair and resting my elbows on my knees, I studied her physical appearance very closely. Though she wore faded blue jeans and a baggy gray shirt, with dark hair falling wildly over her shoulders to frame a face completely devoid of makeup, her aggressive posture made her appear much larger than she actually looked standing next to Derek. An intense wave

CHAPTER 5 ~ ALPHA ESTATE

HEIDI’S POV"What are you going to do first, Alpha?" I asked, looking up into his incredibly handsome face while I felt my heart beating rapidly inside my chest.Kurt looked down at me, and his dark eyes softened significantly. He did not release his tight grip on my waist. Instead, he turned his massive head to address the terrified people still pressing their faces into the dirt."Get up and clean the blood off my wooden stage immediately," Kurt commanded the pack in a deep, powerful voice that echoed loudly across the open clearing. "Jason will oversee the disposal of the traitors and the restructuring of the guard patrols. Anyone who disrespects my Luna will join Erwin in the underground dungeon. Disperse right now and return to your daily duties."The pack members scrambled to their feet because they were completely desperate to escape the heavy physical pressure of his aura. They kept their heads bowed in absolute submission and hurried away from the center of the territory. Kur

CHAPTER 6 ~ SON

HEIDI’S POVKurt pushed the heavy wooden door open so forcefully that the metal handle dented the plaster of the hallway wall. He prepared his body to fight a dangerous intruder, completely expecting to find an assassin waiting to ambush us. I refused to remain alone in the hallway while he faced a potential threat, so I completely ignored his previous command to stay back. I stepped around his broad shoulders and followed him directly into the massive kitchen.The room featured gleaming stainless steel appliances, pristine white marble countertops, and a massive oak dining table positioned squarely in the center of the floor. There were no armed hunters or rival pack members in the room. Instead, the polished hardwood floor was completely covered with sharp, shattered pieces of a large ceramic water pitcher, and a wide puddle of cold water soaked rapidly into a decorative woven rug.Kurt let out a sudden, sharp exhale and instantly dropped his defensive posture. He fell to his knees

CHAPTER 7 ~ SHOWDOWN

HEIDI’S POVAfter turning off the shiny metal faucet of the kitchen sink, the warm water finally stopped running over my soapy hands. Grabbing a clean cotton towel from the handle of the oven, the damp fabric absorbed the moisture from my skin perfectly. A reassuring smile formed on my face to keep the young boy calm while he sat quietly on the marble countertop. Leo watched the tense exchange between the adults with wide brown eyes, and his small hands gripped the edge of the wood very tightly."Stay right here and eat your sweet chocolate chip pancakes, Leo," the words left my mouth in a very soft and steady tone to ensure he felt entirely safe in the large room. "Your father and his Beta simply need to help me take out some very annoying garbage from the front room, and we will return in a few minutes to draw your warm bubble bath upstairs."The little boy nodded slowly, reached for a sticky piece of pancake, and took a small bite.Turning away from the kitchen island, the long wal

CHAPTER 8 ~ DANGER

HEIDI’S POV"If they refuse to leave the borders quietly, Luna, we will forcefully drag them through the dirt and throw them directly into the river at the edge of the territory," Jason responded immediately, while a highly satisfied smile appeared on his usually serious face. He grabbed Robert by the collar of his cheap suit jacket and gestured for the security guards waiting in the hallway to enter the room.The large, heavily muscled guards walked quickly into the formal sitting room and grabbed the three senior elders by their expensive robes, completely ignoring the loud protests and the angry shouting coming from the older men.Susan continued to cry loudly while clutching her broken wrist, but another guard easily lifted her off the expensive rug and dragged her toward the front entrance of the estate. The heavy mahogany doors slammed shut with a very loud, echoing sound, and the sudden silence inside the massive house felt incredibly heavy.Releasing a long breath of air from

CHAPTER 9 ~ TEASING THE WARLORD

HEIDI’S POVHe pressed his large hand flat against the wooden frame of the door, and his warm breath brushed across the sensitive skin of my neck. He just promised to spend every single day proving his absolute loyalty to me, and he specifically asked me what I thought he would do tomorrow morning when the sun came up.Looking up into his dark eyes, a surge of sudden confidence completely overtook my usual cautious nature. I spent my entire life keeping my head down and avoiding conflict with powerful people, but this massive man was my destined mate, and my biological instincts told me I was completely safe with him."If you truly want to prove your absolute loyalty to me tomorrow morning, Alpha, you can start by brewing my coffee perfectly," the sassy response left my lips easily while my hands reached up to grab the thick collar of his dark button-down shirt.Curling my fingers tightly into the expensive fabric, I forcefully pulled his massive body downward until his face lowered d

CHAPTER 10 ~ THE COUNCIL

HEIDI’S POVTaking the warm white ceramic mug directly from his large hand, the dark liquid smelled completely intoxicating, and a cautious sip proved that he actually brewed the coffee perfectly to my exact preference.The rich flavor coated my tongue, providing an immediate burst of much-needed caffeine to start the busy day. Because I expected him to act like a traditional and arrogant pack leader, his willingness to stand in a kitchen and cook breakfast for me felt incredibly surprising and highly appreciated."You actually make a wonderful cup of coffee, Alpha, and I would love my eggs cooked over easy with a side of crispy bacon," the request left my mouth smoothly while I walked further into the bright kitchen.Pulling out a tall wooden stool located right next to little Leo, my body settled onto the comfortable seat at the marble kitchen island. Leo looked up from his coloring book and smiled widely at me, completely ignoring the crayons scattered across the counter. He looked
