She never thought the seven-year marriage curse would happen to her. The moment she caught her husband cheating, she made him sign the divorce papers and walked away without looking back. Just as she was ready to rebuild her career, the powerful CEO who stood at the top of the business world entered her life with overwhelming confidence. In an empty conference room, he trapped her between the table and his strong arms, his deep voice filled with temptation. “Miss, before we discuss business, shouldn’t we settle an old debt first?” “What debt?” she asked, her ears turning red. He leaned closer, his breath brushing against her skin. “You saved my life when we were young. I planned to repay that debt…” He placed a contract before her and smiled. “Will you sign this, Miss? I’ll spend my lifetime making you mine.”
Lyra Blackwood spent her entire life bleeding for her pack. As the strongest warrior of Blackwood Pack, she defended the borders, fought their enemies, and sacrificed everything to protect the people she loved. But no matter how much she gave, strength was never enough to earn affection. To her family, Lyra was a weapon to wield, not a daughter to love. Then, in a single night, everything she fought for was ripped away from her. Her mate betrayed her with her younger sister. Her family cast her aside. And the pack she nearly died protecting stood by and watched her break. Publicly humiliated and sentenced to a thousand lashes by her own father, Lyra is abandoned by everyone she trusted. Everyone except him. Cold, ruthless, and dangerously powerful, Alpha Kael Draven of the northern territories is a man feared enough to bend pack politics around him. But the moment he witnesses Lyra refusing to kneel even after betrayal and torture, something dark inside him awakens. Now the North Alpha wants the girl everyone else discarded. Trapped between ancient pack laws, dangerous political alliances, and a possessive alpha who looks at her like both prey and queen, Lyra must decide whether becoming the North Alpha’s Luna will finally set her free… —or destroy her completely.
By the video from his so-called first love, showing them tangled together, she finally understood one thing. There was no point waiting for a man to turn back. She looked at the home she had built with all her effort. Leaving in a clean divorce? That would be too kind. She was never a self-sacrificing wife. If she was going to divorce, she would make sure she took back what she deserved—billions in compensation. After the divorce, she shone brilliantly. Suitors surrounded her endlessly, while he grew jealous and unhinged. One night, he got drunk and broke into her home, trying to kneel and beg for reconciliation. But someone else was already there. A man at the very top of the world stood beside her. A man who spoiled her beyond reason. A man who she loved with all her heart. Only then did he realize—he had completely lost the woman who once looked at him like he was everything.
I, Alpha Gale of the Silver Moon Pack," he declares, the words ringing out like the tolling of an execution bell. "Reject you, Gia, as my mate. I strip you of the title of Luna. I remove you from my side, and I name Anna as my true mate, my equal, and your rightful replacement." For two years, I endured his coldness, desperate for a sliver of his love. My reward? Being publicly humiliated and tossed aside the moment his true mate returned. He locked me in a freezing cellar, completely unaware that I was carrying his child. A child I lost to the dark. The weak, devoted Gia died in that cell. I escaped into the Forbidden Woods with nothing but a shattered heart—until the shadows answered my grief. I am not a powerless human. I am the last descendant of an extinct bloodline, and the darkness bends to my will. When I accidentally trespass into the territory of the terrifying Alpha King Kael, I expect a swift death. Instead, the most lethal man in the werewolf world looks at me with a possessive fire and growls, "Mine." Now, I am mastering my power by his side. But when Gale realizes his massive mistake and comes to claim his "stolen property," he won't find the broken girl he threw away. He'll find a Shadow Queen. And I am going to destroy him.
“Say it like you mean it, darling,” he purred, leaning in and licking my neck, “and I might stop.” * My mother got remarried… and cursed me in the process. I thought moving into this mansion would be the worst part of it. I was wrong. Because living here means living under the same roof with them. The Varkas brothers. Beautiful. Dangerous. Possessive. And absolutely, devastatingly off-limits. They call me “stepsister.” But the way they look at me? The way they touch me? It’s anything but brotherly. There’s something wrong with them. Something not… human. I can feel it in the way their eyes flash when they’re angry. In the way their bodies burn hotter than they should. In the way they move, like predators in the dark. I don’t know what they are. But I know one thing… whatever’s hunting me now, I won’t survive it. Not if I keep letting them close. Not if I keep letting them ruin me with their hands, their mouths, their filthy words. I should run. I should fight. But the truth is… part of me doesn’t want to escape. Because whatever they are… I crave it. And once they claim me, there’s no coming back. One more thing… All three of them touch me, all three of them make me feel things, but there’s one in particular… One… * AUTHOR’S NOTE: A fair warning before you open this book; this isn't a sweet romance kind of book. It’s dark, filled with sensual fantasies, fleshing longings, erotic musings, and lots, and lots of smut. So if this is your kind of vibe, “Welcome, princess and make sure you wear your seat belt.” But if this is not, then…
(It's completed! Thank you to every reader who follows this book and everyone who was moved by Zoe's story. I hope we can all achieve the future we desire!) A lone alpha lost his destined queen in a savage border raid. Her passing became the pack’s eternal wound—each year the wolves gather in silence beneath a moon painted black. Five years on, the mark on his soul flares again—this time for the last person he expected: the younger sister of the woman whose ghost still rules every heartbeat. Whispers rise like winter fog: she was the reason the beloved heir leapt into death’s jaws; she should have been the one never to return. She has grown up invisible, a pale echo of a brighter star, bearing the weight of every unspoken wish that the grave had chosen differently. She dreamed that a mate’s eyes might finally see her, not the silhouette behind her. Instead she finds the same mirror of grief—and when he flinches, her last hope cracks. One word, sharp as broken ice, severs the bond before it can tighten. He lets her walk away, telling himself it is mercy. Then the ground shifts: buried lies surface, guilt turns inside-out, and the alpha understands how completely he was wrong. He races against rumor and remorse, chasing the flicker of a second chance. But the wolf he rejected has learned to sing her own song beneath stranger moons—and she is no longer sure the path home ends with him.
