Chapter 1

Adele’s POVThe clock had long crossed midnight, but I was already deep in sleep, unaware of the world around me. My body had given up hours ago—too tired, too weak to stay awake any longer. All I wanted was rest. Just a few hours of peace.That illusion shattered when a crushing weight pinned me down.My breath left my lungs as the mattress dipped beneath us, my small body pressed helplessly into the sheets. Panic clawed up my throat. I forced my eyes open, squinting into the darkness, and that was when I saw them—glowing, icy blue eyes staring down at me, feral and unreadable.I didn’t need the light to know who it was.I knew him by instinct alone. His scent—sharp, dangerous, unmistakably insane. His warmth. His dominance. His breath against my skin.My mate. My husband.A low growl vibrated near my ear, sending shivers through my spine.“Why are you wearing them?” he snarled. “Have you forgotten what I told you? You’re not supposed to. You’re meant to be ready for me. Always.”Fea

Chapter 2

Adele’s POVA sharp knock echoed through the room, dragging me from restless sleep.I blinked, disoriented—then panic surged when I realized I couldn’t move.A heavy arm was wrapped tightly around my waist, locking me against a solid, unmoving body radiating heat. My breath caught before my mind caught up.Caden.The possessive way he held me as though I might disappear if he loosened his grip. What confused me wasn’t who held me, but why.He despised me. At least, that was what his words and actions always made clear.So why was he holding me like this?Had the moon driven him into a deeper sleep than usual? Or had last night blurred something between us that shouldn’t have existed at all?Carefully, I shifted just enough to glance back at him.Caden Wayne, Alpha of the Western Packs, looked nothing like the ruthless wolf the world feared. In sleep, his face was calm—almost peaceful. His strong arms, marked with dark runic tattoos and scars from battles long past, were wrapped around

Chapter 3

Adele’s POVI was moving too fast.The thought echoed in my head as I hurried down the wide stone staircase, one hand clutching the railing, the other pressed lightly to my stomach as if I could shield the tiny life growing inside me from the chaos of this house. I didn’t want to be late. I couldn’t afford to be late. When Caden Wayne’s routine was disrupted, the entire pack felt the consequences.Halfway down, the world tilted.My vision swam, the edges of the hall blurring as nausea surged violently through me. I gasped and clutched the banister, my knees threatening to give out beneath me. My wolf whimpered weakly inside my chest—she was still adjusting, still fragile, just like the secret I carried.Early pregnancy, the pack doctor had once said in passing, could be especially hard on unmarked or unhappy she-wolves.I closed my eyes and breathed through it until the spinning eased. When I finally straightened, sweat dampened my palms.You can do this, Adele.I forced myself onwar

Chapter 4

Adele's POVA soft knock landed against the tall bedroom door.I knew who it was before the echo of the sound faded into the silence inside the room.When I opened the door, Sylvia stood there, her silver-streaked hair perfectly arranged, her posture composed. Her eyes swept over me quickly—taking in my lowered gaze, my slumped shoulders, the faint tremor in my hands.She clicked her tongue softly, the sound soaked in exasperation more than false sympathy."I'm sorry, my dear," she whispered. "I was powerless to stop him. Can you forgive me?"Her words settled like ash in my chest. She was bitter through and through. I didn't answer.What good would it do anyway? No one could have shielded me from an Alpha's wrath—not when that Alpha was my own mate. I stepped away from her and returned to the room, letting the door slide shut behind us.The scent of steam lingered in the air, thick and suffocating.Caden was still here.The shower was running, the steady rush of water echoing throug

Chapter 5

Adele's POV"In your own words, wife," Caden said quietly.The calmness in his voice terrified me more than any growl ever could.He stood before me like a storm held barely in check, broad shoulders rigid, Alpha power coiling tightly beneath his skin. His lips curved—not in warmth, but in a cold, knowing smirk that promised punishment no matter what I said."N… no," I whispered at last, annoyed at the weakness of my voice. The word barely made it past my throat, yet somehow, it almost sounded like a tempest roar.My hands trembled at my sides, my dying wolf shrinking deep within me, instinct screaming that this was not a moment for honesty—but for mere survival."That's right," Caden replied softly. "And that's the only answer you're allowed to give."His gaze pierced straight through me, as though he could see every secret carved into my bones.Before I could breathe again, Sylvia spoke. The sound of her voice was sharp, venomous beneath its false gentleness. She was a serpent ready

Chapter 6

Caden's POVThe ballroom glittered beneath chandeliers and camera flashes, the air thick with perfume, ambition, and lies.David stood near the edge of the crowd, swirling an expensive glass of scotch, a lazy grin stretched across his face. Beside him, Sylvia watched the scene unfold with sharp, calculating eyes—mother and son united in their satisfaction.At the center of it all stood me.Carrie leaned in close, her smile dazzling, her body angled perfectly for the cameras. When she pressed her lips to mine, the room erupted in flashes—paparazzi shouting, shutters clicking, the moment instantly immortalized.I stepped back immediately.My hand came up, firm but controlled, placing distance between us."Don't do that again," I warned quietly, my voice low enough that only she could hear. My wolf's authority seeped into every syllable. "I'm married."Carrie stiffened, murmuring an apology that no one noticed—and no one cared to hear.I didn't correct the narrative.I never did.Let the

Chapter 7

Adele's POVWhen my flight was forced to land in Paris instead of continuing to New York, the universe cracked open in front of me.The crash changed everything.While the world mourned a tragedy that was never meant to be mine, I sat in a cold airport terminal with my hands wrapped protectively around my belly.Do not go back. You can't go back, Adele. That night, beneath a foreign sky and a foreign moon, I made the bravest decision of my life.I stayed.Paris became my sanctuary. A city of stone and shadow, art and rebirth. A place where the scent of Caden Wayne—Alpha of a ruthless pack union, my husband, my mate—could no longer reach me. Here, even the moon felt softer. Kinder. It did not judge me for choosing survival over devotion.I thought about how easily I had sold my wedding ring. Ten million dollars reduced to cold currency, but the weight it lifted from my soul was priceless. With that final symbol of my past gone, I buried Adele Wayne and gave birth to someone new.Fleu

Chapter 8

Adele's POV"Mom, is Raphael coming to see us today?"Chloe's voice floated into the dining room, bright and hopeful, as she padded in after changing out of her school uniform. Her blonde curls bounced with every step, moonlight pale even in daylight—a trait she'd inherited from something older and deeper in our bloodline.I rolled my eyes toward the ceiling, already knowing what was coming next.Both of my little wolves adored Raphael Dumas far too much for my peace of mind."I don't know, sweetheart," I said calmly as I stirred the risotto warming on the stove. "He's a famous actor. He's probably busy filming or being chased by cameras."Gabriel slid into his chair beside his sister, resting his chin in his hands. "But he promised," he said solemnly, as if promises were sacred oaths sealed under a full moon. "He never breaks promises."I glanced at them—two identical pairs of blue eyes staring at me with unwavering faith—and had to press my lips together to keep from smiling."Well,

Chapter 9

"Yes. That one."Carrie's manicured finger snapped toward the gown clutched in Chloe's small hands, her lips curving into a sharp, entitled smile. "I want that gown. Now."The boutique fell unnaturally quiet, as if even the air sensed the shift. Somewhere beyond the glass walls, the city of Paris continued to breathe—but inside, something darker prowled just beneath the surface."Yes—yes, of course, ma'am," the saleswoman stammered, already moving.Chloe's grip tightened.She didn't understand why her chest felt hot, why something fierce curled in her belly like a growl waiting to be released. She only knew one thing with absolute certainty.This dress was her mother's. She saw it first. The saleswoman reached her and, without hesitation, yanked the gown from Chloe's grasp."No!" Chloe protested, clutching the fabric. "I saw it first. I'm buying it for my mommy!"The woman clicked her tongue impatiently. "You can choose something else, little girl. This gown is handcrafted and extrem

Chapter 10

Adele's POV The city was already slipping into dusk when I arrived at my office, Paris wrapped in that silvery half-light that always made my blood sing beneath my skin. The moon wouldn't rise for hours, but my wolf was always there—watching, waiting, reminding me that no matter how carefully I built my human life, instinct never truly slept.My wolf finally awakened after I'd given birth to my children, and now... Well, I was still getting used to her being around all the time. Tonight mattered.I had agreed to meet a client whose name alone carried centuries of power. A man born into lineage, wealth, and reverence—a man the world bowed to without question.Damien Montecarlo. Duke of Monaco.When his request came through, there had been no room for refusal. He had purchased an enormous mansion in Paris and demanded—politely, but firmly—that I handle the design myself. Not an assistant. Not a junior partner. Me.And despite the late hour and the ache in my shoulders from weeks of ov
