Introduction

In a small town called Nifhil, Selene is faced with the loss of her parents, the rejection of those who took her in and an uncertain future. Determined to escape her pain, she decides to run away in search of freedom. However, in a whirlwind of emotions, she becomes involved with a handsome and mysterious stranger during a night of pleasure and ends up pregnant.

As she deals with the news of her pregnancy, the powerful Lycan King enters her life, desperate to have her as his mate. However, Selene believes she must protect her secret and go her own way. As their fates intertwine, they face challenges, uncover secrets and discover the true meaning of love and family.

Amidst the mystery and danger, the moonlight will lead them on a journey of love and redemption. When the opportunity arises for revenge against those who humiliated her, Selene must make difficult choices to protect herself and her son. Will they be able to overcome adversity and build a promising future? The answer lies in the hands of fate and the strength of their hearts.

Chapter 1

Selene, a young hybrid, came from a powerful lineage. Her father, Zayn, was a respected alpha of the famed Umeris pack, while her mother was a priestess of great power. However, Selene hid her true origins to protect herself. She lived in constant defiance, carrying secrets that weighed heavily on her heart.

On one fateful full moon night, her greatest nightmare began. A rival pack, eager for power and revenge, invaded her peaceful village. Amid desperate howls and the sound of falling bodies, Selene watched helplessly as her beloved parents and her entire pack were brutally killed. Her world crumbled before her eyes, and unbearable pain squeezed her heart.

As she tried to fight for her own survival and watched the horror around her, Selene found her mother Freah, and in a moment of deep connection, the priestess looked into her daughter's eyes and found the strength to speak even amidst the chaos and tragedy. With her voice choked by emotion and her body weakened by grief, she asked Selene to flee, to find a new life away from this horror.

" My little girl, do not weep. Do not let your tears rob you of your strength. Use that pain as fuel for your determination. Remember your heritage, the power that flows in your veins. You are a warrior, an heiress of courage. Flee, my daughter, and make your journey a symbol of our resistance."

Her mother's words echoed in her head as silent tears ran down her face. With her last breath, Freah gave Selene one last look full of love and courage. The fire in Selene flared up, and she promised herself that she would survive and honor the memory of her parents by turning their pain into an unstoppable force. By a quirk of fate, Selene managed to survive the brutal attacks, but her body was severely injured. She staggered through the dense forest and wandered until her legs could no longer support her and she collapsed, exhausted, in the middle of the dark forest.

In that moment of despair, a group of werewolves passing nearby found Selene on the verge of death. Full of compassion and care, they rescued her and took her to a safe place. Although Selene was physically and emotionally battered, she finally found a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness. But fate had more cruel challenges in store for her. When she arrived at her new home, she was met by Kassia, the matriarch of the powerful Silver Claw family:

" Kailel, who is this girl? Why did you bring her to our home?" Kassia asked arrogantly, giving Selene a disdainful look.

Kailel, the alpha of the silver-clawed family, met his mother's cold stare with determination.

" I found her almost lifeless in the middle of the forest. I could not leave her there. She is young and very pretty; surely she can still serve a purpose," he replied, trying to control his tone.

Kassia frowned, obviously dissatisfied with her son's answer.

" You always bring strangers into our home, Kailel. Think of your position as alpha and the responsibility that comes with it. Do not be as weak as your father, who lost the battle against that brat called the Lycan King. Besides, this girl is nothing but a burden. Make sure she knows her place," she warned with a hint of threat in her words.

" What's going on here?"

" Your brother brought home a stranger, and now I have to take care of another one," Kassia said indifferently, although the girl was visibly hurt and confused.

" We can keep her, mother. We have enough to do in our pack," Kyma, Kailel's younger sister, suggested, leaving Kassia satisfied. From that moment on, Selene became a slave of the powerful Silver Claw family and had to endure the worst humiliations and mistreatments. Under the tyrannical gaze of Kassia, the matriarch of the pack, and her spoiled daughter, the newly arrived girl knew no peace. She was forced to fulfill all the tasks and wishes imposed by Kassia and lived in a constant state of pain and servitude.

However, the arrival of Ian, a powerful alpha of the Uktena pack and longtime ally, brought a small twist to Selene's fate. The she-wolf's enchanting beauty piqued the alpha's interest and brought a glimmer of hope to the young woman's heart. Ian seized the opportunity and asked Selene to become his mate, pretending to care about her and giving Kassia the perfect opportunity to get rid of the orphan he considered troublesome.

With a mixture of excitement and uncertainty, Selene believed that her fate would finally change if she became Ian's mate. She imagined a different life, full of love, respect and protection. This small glimmer of hope led her to accept Ian's proposal, although a slight feeling of distrust arose within her.

Selene's sweet and innocent heart truly believed that she would be rescued from the hell she lived in, humiliated and mistreated. But when she was taken to her new home, she soon realized that her happiness would be short-lived as Ian despised her, humiliated her and treated her like an object to satisfy his most perverted desires.

Selene felt her days as a heavy burden and thought about how to escape this situation. After another long day of forced labor and humiliation, on her way to the room Ian himself had assigned her, she unexpectedly met the unwanted companion she believed would love and protect her. Ian looked at Selene with an air of superiority his tone was full of contempt:

"Selene, why are you always so slow and clumsy? You should try harder if you want to be of value in this house. By the way, I want you in my room today, because despite your slovenliness, your beauty excites me and I want to enjoy the only thing that is of use to you."

The young she-wolf felt a rising anger in her chest but knew that any act of defiance could put her in an even more vulnerable position. She took a deep breath and searched for the strength to keep her composure.

"I am doing the best I can, Ian. The tasks are hard and the work is exhausting. I have done my best to live up to your standards."

Ian smiled with irony as he stepped closer to Selene, their faces inches apart.

"You do not get it, do you? You will never be more than a slave in this place or to me. I would never choose you as my true mate. You are insignificant, just a disposable toy."

Selene once again felt Ian's words like a dagger in her heart but struggled not to show weakness. She looked him straight in the eye with determination and a hint of defiance.

" I may only be your slave now, but one day I will find my freedom. And when that day comes, there will be no place in my life for the likes of you."

Ian let out a cruel laugh, took a few steps towards his fiancée and pushed her against the wall

"You speak boldly, Selene, but do not forget your place. You are my property, and your existence depends on me. Your family has been destroyed, and you do not even remember your lineage. So what do you want to serve me for except to satisfy me? Accept your fate and obey without question. Anything else would only lead to more suffering for you." Ian pressed Selene's face tightly against him, for his unwanted closeness repelled her.

At that moment, tired of being treated like dirt and determined to find her own freedom, Selene let a spark of power take over her body, her amber eyes intensified and, with the touch of her fingers, an electric current ran through Ian's body, making him faint. Determined to leave her painful and sad past behind her, she follows him in no particular direction until she reaches a nightclub, where she seeks a moment of escape and distraction. There, she meets a handsome and mysterious man, whose enigmatic presence piques her interest. Moved by a mixture of alcohol, curiosity and desire, Selene surrendered to that strong, virile man, feeling his large, firm hands touch her delicate white skin, unceremoniously removing every piece of clothing she was wearing, observing his well-defined body and noticing his tanned skin, which made her even more excited, and as his lips explored her beautiful body, Selene couldn't hold back her low but intense moans. She in turn decided to reciprocate by sucking on the handsome stranger's large, thick member, doing so eagerly and choking a few times, perhaps because of the size and thickness of the man's member or perhaps because of her lack of experience in the subject, the beautiful werewolf just felt free to do whatever she wanted and act on impulse as she pleased, she was deliciously enraptured, the mysterious man didn't hold back his desire and was soon positioning himself between the legs of the beautiful woman he had met in the bar, he penetrated her without any shame, thrusting harder and harder, making Selene scream and moan with pleasure, changing positions several times during sex and that day Selene discovered herself as a woman and felt for the first time what it was like to be desired, she felt grateful and happy for the one night of intense pleasure. And at that moment she could never have imagined that what began as a fleeting and ardent moment would evolve into something much more significant shortly, changing her life forever.

Even before the sun rises, Selene wakes up with the feeling that she is not alone in bed, remembering the night of overwhelming passion she had with the handsome stranger. She slowly gets out of bed, gathers her clothes and belongings scattered around the room, gets dressed and slowly leaves the room so as not to wake him, when she is out of the motel, already in a cab to go far away from there, she mutters:

"Damn it! But at least I will never see him again, this night will stay in my memory forever".

Little does she know that this night of surrender and pleasure will be only the beginning of a journey full of twists, deep secrets and decisions that can change the course of destiny.

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé.
Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now—billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn’t mind. I’d crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?
Wrong.
One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That’s when it hit me—he didn’t love me. He didn’t even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn’t even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.
So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster—my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.
Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Enter him.
Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I’d met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.
It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.
But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.
And, as it turned out, the best decision I’d ever made.
Because my one-night stand isn’t just some random guy. He’s richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.
And now, he’s not letting me go.
