Until the Moon Goddess binds him to the one woman he can never claim.
Torn between duty and desire, they try to resist… but forbidden fire burns hottest. One reckless night changes everything.
As betrayal unravels within the pack and enemies rise from the shadows, Seraphina learns the truth: her mother’s marriage is a lie, her ex-lover wants the Alpha’s throne, and the empire she stepped into is built on secrets.
When she disappears carrying the Alpha’s heir, Lucian loses everything, his mate, his throne, and his trust.
But fate is merciless.
A child blessed by the Moon Goddess is born.
A Direwolf rises.
And twenty years later, blood will demand revenge. In a world ruled by power, love is the most Tobiasgerous bond of all.
Chapter 1
SERAPHINA
Predictability is my safe place. Always has been. So when life decides to throw curveballs, I don’t catch them gracefully, I get hit square in the face.
Pulling up to my mother’s pack that afternoon felt like standing in front of a firing squad I’d somehow agreed to face.
My luggage bumped along behind me, wheels catching on the uneven path as I stared at what was supposed to become my new normal.
Packhouse was technically the right word. But it felt embarrassingly inadequate. The building ahead of me wasn’t just large, it was overwhelming, the kind of structure that made you feel immediately small.
Ancient stone climbed toward clouds.
A grand staircase fanned out at the entrance like open arms, stiff, formal, unyielding arms that belonged to a fortress, not anywhere a person actually lived.
The grounds hummed with activity. Dozens of people crossing paths, arms loaded, conversations spilling between them like this was all perfectly ordinary.
They moved with ownership. With ease.
My feet hadn’t even crossed the threshold yet and I already felt like an intruder.
Then came my mother.
She appeared at the top of the staircase and descended in a near sprint, all glowing skin and wide eyes, more alive than I’d seen her in memory.
She didn’t slow down for a greeting.
She just collided with me, arms locking around my shoulders, squeezing like she was afraid I might disappear.
“You made it! Seraphina, you’re actually here!” Something in her voice was untethered, free.
I returned the hug. Slowly.
My body needed a moment to remember how. “It’s good to see you, mum.” Though truthfully, I was relearning who she was with each passing second.
Four years was a long absence. And the years before that had only ever given me fragments of her, Saturday mornings, Sunday evenings, never quite enough.
I leaned back, studying her face. The tension I’d grown up watching collect around her eyes was simply gone.
“You seem different. Lighter.”
A laugh burst out of her as she swept her hair aside, a nervous habit I’d clocked since childhood.
“I feel it. Genuinely. More than I have in years.”
A small pang moved through me. Not resentment exactly, more like the ghost of an old ache. Because I remembered the version of her that hadn’t felt light.
The version shaped by years of heartbreak after my father’s betrayal, his affair, and the audacity of then marrying the woman, building a whole life on wreckage he left behind.
She’d never fully healed from that. Not visibly, anyway. Until whatever, whoever had done this to her.
“You married an alpha.” The words came out measured, cautious. She was already guiding me by the hand toward the entrance.
Nothing flickered in her expression. No apology, no hesitation. Just quiet confidence. Pride, even.
“I needed you to hear it in person. He’s not what you’re imagining, Seraphina. He's steady and kind and I just hope you’ll keep an open mind.”
I filed that away without responding.
Because an Alpha wasn’t a category I’d mentally prepared for. This wasn’t finding comfort in someone safe and uncomplicated.
An Alpha meant structure, hierarchy, an entire living breathing community oriented around him.
My mother hadn’t just remarried, she’d stepped into the role of Luna. The weight of a whole pack now rested on those shoulders I’d watched carry so much for so long already.
Could she hold that? Did she even realize what she’d taken on?
“I’m happy for you,” I said, because it was mostly true.
The interior swallowed me whole. Corridor after corridor dressed in dark wood and oil paintings and furniture too polished to touch.
The scent was deep and resinous, cedarwood pressed into the very bones of the building. The authorities had a smell here.
My mother finally stopped outside a wide door and pushed it open with a small smile.
I stepped past her into the room and blinked.
Large bed dressed in crisp, lavender-scented linen. Warm cream walls holding the afternoon light. A floor-to-ceiling window framing the tree line like a painting.
Not what I expected. Better, honestly.
“I really am sorry I missed the ceremony,” I said, the guilt surfacing before I could stop it. “Exams were scheduled and I couldn’t…”
“Seraphina” Her voice was firm but soft. “Stop. Being here now is enough.”
She gave my arm a small squeeze. “Tomorrow evening there’s a gathering, a proper celebration. You’ll meet everyone then. Including Lucian.”
Lucian. So that was the name I’d be learning to associate with stepfather. I arranged my face into something cooperative.
“I’ll be there.”
But standing wasn’t the same as being ready.
The honest truth was tangled and uncomfortable, somewhere beneath my relief at seeing her happy lived a version of me that had quietly hoped, for years, that my parents would eventually find their way back to one another.
Not for my father’s sake, I didn’t owe him that. But because somewhere in the math of my childhood, I’d come up short.
My stepmother filled gaps she hadn’t created. But being well-cared-for and being chosen are two different things.
Being left at eight. Visited at thirteen. Abandoned at seventeen with barely a word. Those weren’t details that smoothed themselves over with time. They calcified.
She kissed my forehead, warm, unhurried, the exact way I remembered from before everything changed.
“Rest now. You’ve had a long day.”
The door clicked shut.
I sat on the bed’s edge and let the quiet press in.
Gratitude and grief had been sharing space in my chest my whole life. Today was no different. She deserved joy after what my father stripped from her. That was real.
But so was the strangeness of sitting in a stranger’s house, inside a life she’d built while I wasn’t looking, surrounded by people who already knew exactly who they were here.
I’d grown up in a small, broken version of a family. Now I was supposed to fold myself into something enormous and whole.
The stillness in the room became unbearable faster than I expected.
I unpacked what little I needed and slipped out into the hallways. If this was supposed to be home, I needed to understand it, its layout, its rhythm, how it breathed.
More than I’d anticipated. The corridors stretched on like the place was still expanding. Wolf imagery everywhere, rendered in oil paint, carved into frames, woven into tapestries. Tradition made visible at every turn.
I kept thinking, how did she just slot into all of this?
I was mid-thought when I turned a corner without checking and walked directly into a wall.
Except the wall was warm and it exhaled.
I stumbled, grabbing nothing. “Ow…”
“Sorry” The word died on my lips the moment I tilted my face upward.
He stood easily half a foot taller than me, shoulders squared, posture effortlessly dominant. Dark hair with silver working through the edges.
And his eyes, grey like storm clouds that had already decided what they were going to do. They didn’t dart around. They simply found me, and held.
Older. Significantly. But the kind of older that had shed softness in exchange for something far more certain.
And then my entire body went still in a way that had nothing to do with shock.
The recognition arrived not as a thought but as a fact, deep, structural, the kind that rearranges something in you permanently. The mate bond. Unmistakable. Undeniable.
No. The word screamed silently through every part of me. Absolutely not.
A line formed between his brows as he looked at me. “I don’t know you.”
Not rude. Just direct. The voice itself was quiet, unhurried, and it landed somewhere low in my stomach that I immediately wanted to ignore.
I attempted words. Produced nothing. “I … I’m…”
“Seraphina!”
My mother’s voice came from somewhere down the hall. She appeared seconds later, moving quickly, her whole face open and unsuspecting.
“I was looking for you.” She glanced between us, pleased. “Good, you’ve already found each other.”
My mouth opened but nothing organized itself quickly enough.
“Where are my manners?” He straightened slightly, his attention still anchored on me. “Allow me to properly introduce myself.”
My mother stepped to his side, slid her hand into his, and looked at me with all the warmth in the world.
“Lucian, sweetheart, meet Seraphina. My daughter.”
Somewhere deep in my chest, something cracked clean through.
Lucian. My mother’s husband. The Alpha of this pack.
The man the universe had apparently decided was mine.
No. No. No.

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.

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.
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.
