Elinora Vale was born wolfless, unwanted, and sent to die at the edge of Nocturne Hollow. When she’s summoned to the Alpha’s court as a tribute girl, she expects to serve—then be discarded. Instead, when Alpha Riven Drayke lays eyes on her, a silver flame-shaped mark appears across his chest—the mating mark he was never supposed to have. Panic erupts. Mates aren’t chosen by fate in Nocturne Hollow. They’re killed. Because the last time a Mateless Alpha took a mate, an entire pack burned to ash. Now, Riven must reject Elinora or die. But Elinora has secrets too. Her wolf didn’t die… it was caged, hidden by ancient magic. She isn’t just a tribute. She’s the last heir of the Nightblood line. And she was sent to kill the Alpha who slaughtered her parents.

She had loved him. Truly. Foolishly. And he had used her. For her blood. For her silence. For her sacrifice. She didn’t cry. Not even when the fire died and the cold crept in. Instead, she whispered to the night: > “I will not die here. I will not be forgotten.” The rogue wolves found her on the third day. There were five of them—scarred, savage, and hungry. They circled her like vultures, sniffing her fear. “You smell like pack,” one growled. “I was,” she replied. “Then you’re meat.” She didn’t run. She didn’t beg. She stood. And something inside her snapped. Not like a bone. Like a chain. Her blood surged. Her eyes burned. Her skin shimmered with heat. The wolves lunged. She screamed. But it wasn’t a scream. It was a howl. A howl that split the sky. The wolves froze. One whimpered. Another backed away. Zariah didn’t shift. She transformed. Her body glowed with crimson light. Her voice echoed with ancient power. The wolves bowed. She didn’t understand it. Not yet. But she felt it. She was no longer prey. She was something else. Something forgotten. Something feared. She spent the next weeks learning. Hunting. Listening. The rogue wolves taught her how to survive. But they also feared her. They called her “Crimson.” They whispered that she was cursed. That her blood was not of this age. She didn’t care. She trained. She healed. She grew. And one night, under a blood moon, she stood atop the ridge and made a vow: > “I will return. Not for love. Not for forgiveness. But for reckoning.” Her. “You should’ve stayed dead,” he said, voice low. She turned to him, lips curling into a smile. “I came back to bury the living.” His jaw tightened. “You don’t know what you’re walking into.” “I know exactly what I’m walking into,” she said. “And I’m not walking. I’m hunting.” --- The Trials began at dawn. The first challenge was physical—an obstacle course designed to test speed, strength, and endurance. Wolves shifted mid-run, leaping over fire pits, scaling stone walls, diving through enchanted fog. Zariah didn’t shift. She ran in human form, her cloak billowing behind her like wings. She didn’t win. But she didn’t lose. She finished in the top five. Kael noticed her then. His eyes narrowed. His nostrils flared. He didn’t recognize her. Not yet. But he felt something. Liora whispered in his ear. He nodded. Zariah kept walking.

His tie hung loose, his eyes darker than sin. The scent of whiskey lingered on his breath as he leaned closer. "Tell me to stop," he murmured, the words brushing against my skin like a dare. "You're drunk," I said, staring into those grey eyes as my heartbeat filled the silence. He smiled faintly, his gaze trailing from my hair until it fell on my lips. "Drunk," he whispered, his thumb grazing my mouth as if testing how soft it was, "but not blind. You want this as much as I do." After her husband's mysterious death, Mara Lawson becomes the center of a scandal threatening to destroy the powerful Lawson empire.

The day Kai Mason, the Lycan Prince, was supposed to officially claim me as his mate, he changed the name on the mate bond certificate to Juliet Lawrence’s. I was about to confront him when strange words floated before my eyes, like a ghostly projection. 【Here it comes, the villainess is about to bring up how she saved the Alpha’s life, trying to use it as leverage. Even if he makes her his chosen mate, so what? The Alpha’s heart belongs only to Juliet.】 【She actually thinks the Alpha King will side with her? Hilarious. Juliet is the true daughter of the Alpha family. Did she really think the Lycan Prince would change the mate bond so easily?】 I froze, staring at the words. Kai frowned, his Alpha tone sharp and commanding. “Juliet is kind enough to allow you to join the pack as a chosen mate on our bonding day.

Seven years of lies, forged identities, and breathless escapes had all built up to this single night. I stood in the center of our luxurious suite at the Crescent Moon Pack, smoothing my hands over the heavy parchment on the mahogany desk. These were the strategic alliance plans I had spent weeks drafting. Every word, every diplomatic clause was carefully designed to impress the Lycan King and solidify our cover as visiting dignitaries. I, Juliet Morales, was a street-smart rogue with no pack, no family, and no real name to speak of. But tonight, I was a master strategist. This was our masterpiece. Our final job before we could disappear, shed our fake skins, and build a real life together. I looked over at Reid Wallace. My partner in crime.

For seventeen years, I loved my best friend, Holden King. I was the quiet girl who always had a bandage for his scraped knees, secretly believing we were meant to be. But he shattered my world with six words: "She's my sister. That's all." He fell for the cruel and glamorous Fabiola, even taking her to our secret meadow. Her jealousy was a poison. She faked a pregnancy to trap him, then hired a man to attack me in an alley. The trauma ruptured an aneurysm in my brain, and I went blind. Through it all, Holden defended her. He refused to believe she was capable of such evil, choosing the monster he'd known for months over the girl he'd known his whole life. My savior, a kind doctor named Jace, offered me a future, and we planned a fake wedding to give my terrified parents hope. But as I stood blind at the altar, Holden crashed the ceremony. He fell to his knees, a diamond ring in his hand. "I love you, Chloe," he cried. "Marry me."

Then Julian Vale moves in. Powerful and unreadable, Julian is far too interested in Evelyn's grief. Unlike others, he doesn't offer comfort-he studies her. Watches how she moves. How she lies. How she hides the truth. Because Julian knows something no one else does. Every man Evelyn has ever loved has died. And Evelyn isn't entirely innocent. What the world believes is a curse is something far more deliberate. A past carefully erased. A weapon carefully shaped. And Julian Vale didn't move in next door by accident

Her husband only touched her when he needed an heir. It took her vanishing for him to finally see her. For five years as Alpha Kieran's wife, Mira nearly died giving him a daughter-and received nothing but disdain from him and his family for bearing the "wrong" heir.

Her own daughter, slowly turned against her. So Mira did the one thing they never expected: She disappeared. Now she's back-not as the pleading Luna they broke, but as a force they can't control.

This one is his.

The salmon was perfectly pink, the asparagus still crisp with that slight bite Adrian preferred. I arranged the plates with the same care I'd given our dinners for seven years, each detail a small offering to the life we'd built together. The dining room glowed softly in the candlelight, our wedding photo smiling down from the mantle—two people who looked so certain of their forever. Adrian's tablet lay forgotten on the kitchen counter, its screen still illuminated from when he'd been checking emails before his shower. I reached for it absently, meaning only to move it aside while I wiped down the granite surface. The message notification caught my eye—not because I was looking, but because it was impossible to ignore. *Missing you already. Can't wait for tonight. —E* My fingers trembled as I touched the screen, and more messages appeared. A thread of intimate exchanges that made my stomach lurch.

The morning light filtered through our bedroom curtains, casting golden streaks across Felix's sleeping form beside me. After a month apart during his alliance mission to the West Coast, I should have felt complete having him back. Instead, something felt... different. I studied his face in the gentle dawn glow—the sharp jawline I'd traced countless times, the dark lashes that had always made me envious. Seven years together, and I thought I knew every inch of him. But as my gaze drifted lower, my breath caught in my throat. There, on his waist where smooth skin had always been, was a fresh crescent scar. Not just any scar—it glowed with the faintest silver light that made my wolf stir uneasily within me. The Luna's mark.

The lake's surface gleamed under the morning sun as pack members gathered around the shore, their faces solemn. I watched from my hidden vantage point as Spencer knelt beside my "corpse" — actually a carefully crafted illusion created by the rogues I'd hired. My heart hammered against my ribs, but I remained still, barely breathing. Spencer's hands trembled as he reached toward my pale face. Even from this distance, I could see the confusion in his eyes. He didn't understand why his wolf wasn't reacting to my supposed death. "Alpha," the pack doctor said, his voice carrying across the clearing, "I'm afraid she's gone. There's no pulse, no breathing. Alice Sullivan is deceased." The moment those words left his lips, something shifted in the air between us. The mate bond—that invisible thread that had connected us for three years—snapped with a force that would have brought me to my knees if I hadn't been prepared for it.

I woke up from a five-year coma, only to find my death certificate filed away—signed by my own husband. Dante Vitiello, the Don of New York, looked at me like a miracle, but he was holding the hand of another woman. Sofia Bianchi was wearing my diamonds, living in my house, and standing beside the man I had built an empire for. But the true betrayal wasn't the mistress. It was my son. When I reached out to Leo, my baby, he recoiled in terror and buried his face in Sofia's dress. "Go away!" he screamed. "Mama Sofia said you're a monster! You're a ghost!" Sofia smiled at me, a sharp, victorious blade. She didn't just steal my husband; she rewrote my son's memories to make me the villain. To protect the family alliance, Dante forced me to stay silent. When Sofia later rammed my car on the racetrack to finish the job, Dante ran past my bleeding body to comfort her over a broken nail. When she faked a fatal illness, he dragged me from my recovery bed. He forced me to donate my rare blood to save her. "Do it for the family, Elena," he said, watching the life drain out of me to fill the veins of the woman who destroyed us. That night, I didn't just leave. I erased myself. I left my wedding ring on a cliff's edge and let the world believe Elena Vitiello had finally drowned. Six months later, Dante sat in the audience of a global tech summit in Zurich, desperate to find his dead wife. I walked onto the stage in a white suit, looking him dead in the eye. "My name is Kate Harding," I announced. And I prepared to burn his world to ash.

I sacrificed the wolf core to save my beloved. To avoid being overwhelmed by guilt, I chose to leave and silently wait for death in a corner of the human world. But even after he became the alpha of the wolf pack, he still went to great lengths to marry me. After we got married, he flaunted his mistress in front of me every day, trying to provoke me and get revenge. But he didn't know that I was about to die. Darling, I'm dying.

Paris had been everything I needed - inspiring, rejuvenating, and exactly the creative break my designs required. But nothing compared to the excitement of returning home early to surprise Caspian on his birthday. The vintage Patek Philippe watch nestled in my purse had cost a small fortune, but the moment I spotted it in that tiny Montmartre antique shop, I knew it was perfect for him. The Seattle drizzle welcomed me as my cab pulled up to the McDonald Design headquarters. The sleek twelve-story building gleamed despite the gray weather, its modern glass facade reflecting the clouds above. My heart fluttered with anticipation. Three days early. He would never expect it. "Welcome back, Ms. McDonald," the night security guard greeted me with surprise.

I stood in Seattle International Airport's arrivals terminal, my heart pounding so hard I could feel it in my fingertips. Six years. Six long years of waiting, of dreaming, of planning our future together while Jaxson was away handling his father's East Coast business dealings. Today was finally the day he would come home to me. "You look like you might faint," Elena whispered, squeezing my hand. My best friend had been my rock through all the waiting, all the lonely nights. "I'm fine," I said, touching the pearl necklace at my throat, a nervous habit I'd inherited along with the jewelry from my mother. "Just... it's been so long." My father, Richard Davis, stood beside us, checking his watch with the impatience of a man who ran one of Seattle's largest business empires. "Flight's landed.

The vibration of my phone against the nightstand sounded like a jackhammer in the silence of the bedroom. It was past midnight, and the empty space on the mattress beside me was cold to the touch. Cyrus wasn’t home. I snatched the phone, my heart already hammering a frantic rhythm against my ribs. It was Jasmine. "Elena?" Her voice was a hushed, frantic whisper. "You need to get down to the Grand Hotel. Now." My grip tightened on the device. "What? Why?

I could feel every eye in the Grand Hall boring into me as Damon strode through the massive double doors. The Annual Alpha Summit had always been a display of power, but this year, it felt like a stage for my humiliation. My husband, the mighty Alpha of the Silvermoon Pack, moved with practiced authority. His broad shoulders were draped in a tailored charcoal suit that emphasized his imposing physique. The crowd parted before him like water breaking against stone. Behind him walked Seraphina, her crimson dress clinging to her curves, her chin lifted in triumph. I followed several paces behind, as was expected of a Luna who had fallen from favor. The whispers reached my ears despite attempts at discretion. "That's her—the Luna without a wolf." "Twelve years and still no heirs..." "I heard he's already chosen another." The center of the hall had been arranged in a circle, with thrones for each territory's Alpha. As we approached our designated seats, Damon suddenly stopped and turned.

The first anomaly appeared at 2:17 PM. I was reviewing the daily security logs when my custom monitoring system flashed red. Just a tiny blip at first, easy to miss if you weren't looking for it. But I was always looking. "Unauthorized access attempt on primary investment server," my system alerted, synthetic voice calm despite the severity. I leaned forward, fingers already flying across my keyboard. "Display threat signature and origin." The screen filled with code, elegant and vicious in its precision. My breath caught. This wasn't some random hacker poking around. This was sophisticated—military grade.

The sirens had been wailing for three hours now, their urgent cry echoing off the flooded streets of New Orleans like a funeral dirge. I pressed my palm against the second-story window, watching the brown water swirl past what used to be our front garden. The azaleas Lawrence had planted for our first anniversary were completely submerged, their bright pink blooms floating like tiny life preservers in the chaos. Another contraction seized my belly, stronger than the last. I gripped the windowsill, breathing through the pain as my eight-month-old baby shifted restlessly inside me. The stress was getting to both of us. Through the glass, I could see the Hendersons from next door being helped into a rescue boat, their arms wrapped around each other as they were pulled to safety. "Please, please pick up," I whispered, dialing Lawrence's number for the fourth time. The phone rang twice before his familiar voice crackled through. "Amy?

The white ceremonial dress felt like a shroud against my skin. I stood at the stone altar, surrounded by hundreds of pack members whose eyes bore into me with a mixture of anticipation and something else I couldn't quite name. Pity, maybe. Or doubt. Twenty years. I'd waited twenty years for this moment. The afternoon sun filtered through the ancient oaks surrounding the ceremonial grounds, casting dappled shadows across Michael's face as he stood across from me. He looked perfect in his Alpha regalia—black suit, the Hudson Pack crest gleaming at his collar. My mate. My Michael.
