Introduction
Suddenly, the voice of my wolf, long silenced, roared back to life: Mine.
Alpha King Draven reached out to touch my face, his voice soft with surprise: "Mate."
"Where the hell is that bitch! Someone, drag her out for me!" Alpha Carter yelled, stalking toward me, eyes blazing with fury. But by the time he reached for me, his hand was caught in the iron grip of Alpha King Draven—and crushed in the strength of the Northlands' most feared ruler.
"You're the Alpha King, but surely you wouldn't interfere in pack disputes between an Alpha and his pack members? This is a private matter," Carter sneered.
Draven's gaze was cold, every word deliberate: "No, I won't interfere in your pack matters. But I will interfere when my mate is being threatened."
Elena Reed's life was shattered ten years ago. On the day of her sixteenth birthday, she was found at the scene of her mother's murder, framed by her own cousin. Stripped of her status and cast into a life of servitude, she endured a decade of cruelty, betrayal, and humiliation—while her enemies thrived.
Now, the Alpha King has come to her pack, searching for his Luna. Standing before everyone, Elena finally seizes her voice, her power, and her destiny. But the path ahead is treacherous: ancient powers stir within her, enemies lurk in every shadow, and even love brings its own dangers.
Will Elena finally reclaim her fate and the mate she was destined for or will fear once again hold her captive?
Chapter 1
Elena POV
"Murderer." Pack members spat at me as I busied myself with cleaning the hall.
I lowered my head further and cleaned faster. Fighting back would only get me punished, I had learned that the hard way.
Our pack Wind Borne pack was preparing for a banquet to welcome the Alpha king, King Draven. And I was assigned to the cleaning of the hall.
Alpha king Draven was 35 already but he still hadn't found his mate even though most wolves knew who their mate was at 16.
At first, rumors had floated around that his mate might be dead already or maybe the moon goddess had not bestowed him a mate because of his cruelty.
Alpha king Draven had been a warrior for his pack since he was a teenager and, with sheer willpower, little by little, he transformed his pack from a mid sized pack to the largest wolf pack in the whole of North America. Now at the peak of his power, everyone expected him to take a mate in order to continue his legacy and bloodline.
Once, I had dreamt of finding my mate too. Fantasized about it countless nights as I tried to imagine what it would feel like when I met him for the first time.
But now I knew no one would want me. To them I was nothing but an outcast. A dirty stain on the name of the pack. A murderer who killed her own mother.
"Slave, Luna Sophia is looking for you." A maid called out to me, pulling me out from my thoughts.
I bowed my head and followed the maid, wondering what Luna Sophia could want me for this time. I tried to recall everything I had done recently. Had I arranged everything perfectly the last time I cleaned her room? Had I forgotten to fold the edges of the duvet? Or had I organized her shoe closet by color instead of by brand. As I walked behind the maid, I think back to a time past. A time before I became a slave.
Ten years ago, on my 16th birthday, the day I was supposed to find my mate, my cousin Sophia had come to tell me that my mother was looking for me to give me my gift.
I went happily to her room to meet her, only to find her in a pool of her own blood with a knife sticking out of her stomach.
Maybe I should have gone to get help from the pack members, but at that moment, seeing my mother lying there, every rational thought flew out of my head.
I quickly knelt beside her, hands hovering above her, not knowing what to do. Until I heard her voice, a low weak whisper calling out to me.
I brought my ears closer to her lips to hear her better.
"Don't trust anyone. I'm sorry I wasn't able to stay longer with you."
My heart went cold and I glanced at her, only truly seeing how pale she looked now. She was dying. While I had been blissfully happy that I was finally going to meet my mate, my mother had been dying.
I flew out the door, barely registering the dull pain in my big toe as I hit it against the edge of a table on my way out.
I had just gotten to the door when pack members suddenly rushed in, my uncle at the forefront. They sped past me, rushing straight to my mother's room. I followed behind them slowly only to hear my uncle yell in a loud voice.
"You bastard. If it wasn't against pack law, I would have broken your neck."
He grabbed me, shaking me fiercely. "How could you kill your own mother, you beast?"
I tried to explain but no one listened to me. They all shook their heads, eyes filled with judgement.
I caught a glimpse of Sophia and turned to her eager. She could defend me, after all, she had been the one to call me there but she yelped and moved backwards the moment she saw me looking at her.
My brain wasn't properly processing the scene in front of me. Why wasn't she saying anything? Why wasn't she defending me?
As I stood there under the judgement of the pack members, a sweet smell hit my nostrils. Clove, with an undertone of musk, I blinked confused but my wolf leapt up with joy 'Mate. Go find our mate quickly. He'll save us.'
I turned towards the direction of the smell and that's when I saw him, Alpha Carter, the leader of our pack and now, my mate. Hope bubbled in my chest once more as I rushed towards him but he walked past me like he couldn't see me and walked instead to Sophia. He pulled her into his arms and stroked her hair as she cried softly into his chest.
A sharp pain struck my heart and I almost fell down. My wolf Lara was confused 'Why? Why was our mate ignoring us? Did he not see that we were in pain too?' But I had no answers for her. I was also struggling to understand what I was seeing.
Alpha Carter cleared his throat then and started speaking "Elena Reed has been found guilty of the murder of her mother and is hereby stripped of her status as omega and demoted to pack slave. Henceforth, she'll live separate from the pack and only come into pack quarters to fulfill her duties as slave."
I stood there in shock and watched my mate hand me a sentence worse than death, all while holding another female to his chest.
My wolf cried, begged me to approach our mate and make him see reason, but when I looked at Alpha Carter, I saw the warning clear in his eyes. The mate bond was the only reason I was still alive, but if I forced him, he wouldn't hesitate to take my life.
So I stepped back, silent, and accepted my punishment. My wolf cried for days, her voice getting smaller with each passing day, until one day, I could no longer reach her.
Soon after, Alpha Carter declared he had found his mate, and took Sophia as his Luna.

I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known.

I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis
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.

Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.
Invisible To Her Bully
Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.
