Introduction
Lara has perfected the art of invisibility: a lone witch in a world of wolves, her true nature hidden behind a wall of quiet defiance and a dormant wolf she refuses to awaken. Her past is a locked box of fear, tied to a scar and an Alpha who claims her. All she wants is to stay hidden, even from the intense gaze of Matthew, her pack's future leader—and, impossibly, her fated mate.
Matthew knows she’s close. He's caught her scent, a tantalizing promise that slips away each time. Why would his own mate run from him? As danger closes in on the pack, the truth can no longer stay buried. He’s determined to claim her, but to win her, he must first unravel the secrets that make her fear the very bond that could save them both.
Chapter 1
Lara's POV
Another year is starting. Three less and I will be done. I'm not really the popular type and I'm not really social either, so I'm not especially enjoying my university's years. I can't wait for this to end. I'm studying the laws. I know not the sexiest thing to study but it's what Luke decided to study. As a future Gamma of the pack, he thinks that to know laws will help him. Also, he wants to be the voice of the ones who don't have one which is pretty honorable.
Luke is my only friend here. He is the only friend I have ever made here when I arrived 13 years ago. Not the people didn't try but believe me they had tried but he is the only one who never gave up. Not that I'm not sociable it's just I can't lose friends and I know it happened. You see, I have a really dark past, and as Aunty Jane used to say past always catch you up sooner and later. She also used to say the truth will always be revealed. And I really understood the sense of that when she died 2 years ago and my full past was revealed to me. I know one day he will come for me and if I don't want people I love to be hurt in the process, I need to keep my distance. It worked with everyone except Luke. And I know it's selfish but I need at least a friend here, even more now that Jane is gone.
Luke is my best friend, of course as my only friend he has no competition for the position but I'm a lucky girl because he is the best friend, you can dream of. He followed all my choices. I'm passionate about dance so he gave up football to take dance classes with me. Also, we always have all our classes together and I don't how but I know it was his doing. When I was 16, I applied to work with Team L again he applied with me. 16 might sound young for you but in the werewolf world, we are already mature as at 16 we can shift into our wolves. Well, the other werewolves can shift at 16, not me. There was an accident when I was 5 and ever thing I never were able to connect with my wolf. My alpha hoped that I would shift at 16 but I knew I wouldn't... I know, I know, I'm super mysterious but I'm scared to speak about what really happened and I'm also scared if I start to speak about it that my past will come after me.
Even I can't shift, I still have all the werewolf abilities, speed, strength, better vision, etc... The only thing that I've never tried is mindlinking. I don't know why exactly, maybe because I never felt like I was part of this pack. The price will be too high if I become a pack member. I can't be selfish and do that to them. Also, I'm not a 100% werewolf, I'm a witch too. Nobody knows that here, except Luke, of course, but he is keeping all my secrets even from his Alpha and I'm really grateful for that. See, he is the best friend that you could never have. This is why this time it was my turn to follow him and his wishes to study laws. And I'm happy to do it for him. I want to spend as much time as I can with him. He will be my light when my darkness will come after me.
Honk, honk!
Ah! It's him! He is picking me up as we are going together in our classes.
"Hey, Luke! Ready for a new year." I ask him, putting my seatbelt.
"Hey, Lara! As never. Remember whatever happens it's us against the world." He replies.
"Why are you saying that?"
"Because Matthew and Alex are back and I know how you don't like them."
"It's not that I don't like them. They are just so annoying!"
"If you say so." He mutters not believing me.
"You should spend time with them. As the future Gamma, you need to be more involved with them. You already refused to go to that training camp with them, now it's time to reconnect with them both." I tell him after a few minutes of silence.
Becoming my friend pushed him away from his other friends. And as I'm seeing like a weirdo and he's my friend, people tend to think he's one too. Which is totally false. He is one of the coolest guys I know. If only people could see that!
"I will not let you aside, so until you find a way to be friends with them. It's not going to happen." He says.
"Don't be ridiculous! You could lose your Gamma position!"
"So be it!" He says with defiance.
"Please, Luke! With both know how important is it for you."
He sighs:
"I will think about it."
"Thanks!! It's all I ask for."
"We will see, I have another problem to fix before." He says more for himself. I would have not hear him without my werewolf senses.
"You know, you can tell me everything. I can help you." I tell him.
"I know and I will if and when I'm ready."
"Okay..."
The rest of the ride we are listening to some songs. That makes me want to dance. My favorite dance is Tango and Luke is a really good dancer and partner. We both like a lot Capoeira too. We won a lot of competitions together.
"You know, you can tell me everything. I can help you." I tell him.
"I know and I will if and when I'm ready."
"Okay..."
What a shity first day! I was already hating university but with " the future Alpha and Beta" back all the she-wolves went crazy today! I don't even know why? I mean, of course, they are both built like gods and they held a position of power but come one! Don't be so desperate! I don't know how you can find them attractive when they are so annoying! uh!!! Can't wait to go home.
Suddenly a smell hit my nose. The smell of trouble...
"Hey, Luke!" I hear Matthew says in our back.
I can't help but roll my eyes.
"Hey Mathew, Alex." Luke replies turning toward them.
"Hey, Luke, Lara." Alex says.
"Hi" I reply.
Matthew is totally ignoring me, he didn't even say hello to me. What an ass! I can't for our next mission with the team L to have a break from the shity hole!

After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

Human Capture (Up North #2)
Raised in a starving settlement choked by a vast, unforgiving forest, Lara learned early that survival has a price. To keep her family alive, she became a master hunter—agile, silent, and deadly with an array of mismatched blades. But the forest has eyes, and one evening, the shadows dragged her away.
Nine months later, Lara breaks free from a concrete dungeon, only to find herself stranded in the lawless, rogue-infested wilds of Avers Land alongside four captured werewolf girls. Seeking refuge in the neighboring territory of Illyen, she expects to find a way back to her human life. Instead, she is brought face-to-face with Alpha Rowan, the terrifying, ruthless ruler of the frozen North.
One look into Lara’s eyes, and the Alpha’s world shatters. His eyes turn an absolute shade of black. The bond is undeniable. She is his fated mate.
But a human cannot survive the brutal political landscape of the North, and Rowan openly rejects the bond, dragging her onto a warship bound for a kingdom that views her as a fragile liability. Trapped between a mate who refuses to love her and a court of monsters waiting for her to break, Lara must use every hunter's instinct she possesses. Because in the realm of wolves, a human must either grow claws of her own—or perish in the snow.

A PRINCESS IN DISGUISE; BOUND TO THE ENEMY KING
I fell to my knees, the cold marble digging into my skin. I had studied for years in the flickering candlelight, memorizing every herb and poison to pass the healer's exam. I wanted freedom. I wanted to save my mother from the servant's quarters. I placed second. I thought I had won my life back.
But the King didn't give me a badge of honor. He gave me a death sentence.
"Raven Thorne shall be wed to the King of Grok," he announced, his voice echoing in the silent hall. Princess Ellie, the woman who had tormented me for years, slapped her hands over her mouth to hide her cruel laughter. She was supposed to marry the Beast. Now, I was the lamb being sent to the slaughter in her place.
They say King Liam drinks the blood of his enemies. They say he is more monster than man. And now, I have to walk into his bedroom, wearing the Princess's silk gown, and pray he doesn't tear me apart.
I looked at the King, tears streaming down my face. "I'll do it," I whispered, my voice trembling. "But my mother must be safe."
I sold my body and soul to a monster to save her. But when the carriage door opened and I finally looked into the Beast's golden eyes, I realized the terrifying truth...
He wasn't a stranger. He was the man I met in the woods.

.
"I’m keeping her."
"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid. Her hand rests against one scaled finger, and she stares up at him with that same curious wonder, as though she’s already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."
