Introduction

What do you do when your husband betrays you and calls you worthless? I broke the bond, and made him watch as I became the Queen to four far better men.
"No matter who I take to this bed, you'll stay. Because without me, Evelynn, you are nothing."
My husband's words were a razor to my heart. For years, I was the perfect Luna. But every string has a snapping point.
"I reject you," I whispered, shattering the bond that defined my life. "Irrevocably. From this breath, I am nothing to you."
I thought I was free. Finally free.
But sweet freedom ended the second four wolves found me. Calder. Maddox. Jaxon. Rafe. My wolf howls for them. My body betrays me. And I don't know how long I can resist.
I ran from one Alpha only to be claimed by four. And this time, I'm not just a mate, I'm their Queen.
And they only have one word for me: "Ours."

Chapter 1

  Evelynn's POV

  The bond snapped sharply beneath my skin - like a struck chord, discordant and wrong. I staggered, one hand pressing against my chest as if I could hold the tether in place. It used to be a symphony, my mate's soul braided into mine, music threading through every vein. Now it was unraveling - thin, fragile, a song fading into silence. Dying.

  And if the pack ever realized the truth? My reign as Luna would shatter with it.

  So I straightened, forced my mask into place, and prayed no one could see the fracture bleeding beneath my ribs.

  Time to perform.

  The packhouse was alive, as it always was at dusk.

  I walked the halls with measured steps, my heels clinking against polished marble floors, my skirts whispering across stone that had been laid by ancestors centuries before me. The walls were hung with woven tapestries: wolves running under full moons, battles fought and won, generations of Alphas immortalized in thread. Our history wasn't just told - it was displayed on every wall, in every hallway, a reminder of the legacy we carried.

  Outside, the sound of sparring echoed faintly. Warriors clashed with blades in the courtyard, grunts of exertion mixing with the clang of steel. Children's laughter rang like bells as they darted between pillars, their small bodies bursting with the kind of energy only young wolves possessed. Omegas carried baskets from the kitchens, steam rising from fresh bread. The yeasty, earthy smell curling around me was like a comfort I hadn't realized I needed.

  And everywhere I walked, wolves paused. Bowed their heads. Murmured, "Luna."

  I returned each greeting with a smile, a nod, and a brush of my hand on their shoulder if they lingered. That was part of the role. The Alpha might be their weapon, but I was their warmth.

  Even when I felt cold inside.

  "Luna!" A voice broke through my thoughts.

  Maren, the Beta's mate, hurried down the corridor toward me. She was flushed from rushing, a scroll clutched tightly in her hands. Her braid had come loose, wisps framing her face, but her brown eyes shone with determination.

  "The council is waiting," she said breathlessly, bowing her head. "They need your approval for the festival plans."

  I offered her a soft smile. "Then let's not keep them waiting."

  We walked together, her pace quick, mine measured. She chatted about the preparations - the number of lambs being slaughtered for the feast, the problem with importing enough honey mead from the southern valley, the endless debate over whether to host the hunt before or after the games.

  I listened. I always did. Every detail mattered.

  The council chamber doors opened, and the hum of conversation halted. Elders and betas rose to their feet as I entered, their expressions softening with respect.

  But my eyes went immediately to the Alpha's chair beside mine.

  Empty.

  Again.

  One of the younger betas muttered under his breath as I passed. "The Alpha dishonors us."

  "Luna," the eldest elder greeted, bowing low. "We are honored by your presence."

  I inclined my head gracefully, slipping into the role like a second skin. "Shall we begin?"

  The meeting stretched long into the evening. Voices rose and fell, arguments sparked and fizzled. We debated the games, the rituals, the sacrifices. The younger warriors wanted the hunt before the feast, believing bloodlust made the wine taste sweeter. The elders worried about omens - about offending the Moon Goddess with excess before gratitude.

  I listened. I soothed. I redirected.

  When tempers flared, I spoke gently, and they quieted. When pride clashed, I offered compromise. When silence threatened to suffocate the room, I filled it with purpose.

  By the end, laughter had replaced tension, agreements sealed with nods and clasped hands.

  An elder leaned toward me as the council adjourned. "Without you, Luna, this pack would be lost. The Alpha may be our sword, but you are our compass."

  The words should have warmed me. It should have filled me with pride. I thought bitterly, but I kept quiet. Instead, my gaze drifted once more to the empty chair. And something inside me tightened, hard and aching.

  "My role is to serve the pack," I said smoothly, masking the storm in my chest.

  Later, I escaped into the gardens.

  The air was heavy with the perfume of roses, so thick it nearly suffocated. They bloomed wild along the stone walls, crimson petals spilling like blood over gray rock. I reached out, brushing my fingers along one, careful of the thorns. The softness was almost unbearable, too fragile, too easy to destroy.

  "Luna."

  I turned. Aldric, a pack head warrior, stood a few paces away. His dark hair was tied back, his leather armor still dusted from training. His loyalty had always been… complicated. Fierce. Direct.

  His gaze lingered too long. Too hungry. Fierce in a way that made me wonder if his loyalty was mine or if he wanted me to himself.

  He bowed, but his gaze held mine, sharp and unyielding. "The Alpha will not return tonight."

  A chill ran down my spine. "Where is he?"

  "He claimed to be on patrol." Alric's jaw tightened, his mouth curving around the words like they tasted foul. "But…"

  He stopped. The silence stretched. Wolves were bound by loyalty, and even he couldn't break the code. But the hesitation screamed louder than any words.

  I nodded slowly, schooling my features. "Thank you, Aldric."

  He lingered, as though wanting to say more. But in the end, he bowed again and left me among the roses.

  I stood in the garden until the moon rose high, silver light spilling over me like judgment. The tether between myself and my mate pulsed weakly, faint as a dying flame.

  Something was wrong. Terribly wrong.

  That night, my chamber was a tomb. The bed was half-made, his side untouched, the sheets cold and smooth. His scent, once strong enough to cling to every breath I took, was faint. Fading even more with each hour.

  I sat before the mirror again. The candles had burned low, their flames shivering in the draft.

  The woman stared back at me, fierce and fragile all at once. A Luna in black leather, with fire in her hair and glass in her veins.

  To the world - flawless. To herself - embroiled.

  I pressed my palm against the glass.

  "I deserve more," I whispered.

  The mirror woman did not argue. And soon, neither would anyone else.

One Night. One Mistake. One Lifetime of Consequences.

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.

Accept the Summoner’s Mark. Or die.

Now I belong to the Death Game — a brutal cosmic system where ordinary people are turned into Players, thrown into impossible missions, and forced to survive horrors designed for the amusement of gods.

Every trial has rules.
Every monster has a weakness.
Every victory comes with a reward.

And every reward makes me less human.

But surviving the Game means trusting the one man everyone warns me to fear.

Veyren Ashford is ruthless, powerful, and dangerously beautiful — a veteran Player with blood on his hands and secrets in his soul. He says attachment will get me killed. He says love is a weakness the Game always punishes.

In a world where gods gamble with mortal lives, monsters hunt from the shadows, and desire may be the deadliest weakness of all, I have only one goal:

Survive long enough to cross the board.
