I stare into her brown eyes, those same eyes that always captivated me in the past, but now I am disgusted. With myself. These eyes were not Uma’s but her daughter’s and I had no right to admire them. The young girl’s eyes are wide and she is petrified. Since her stay with us for the past week, Maya is afraid to even leave her room. My family is something to be scared off- and being under the same roof as us- sheer terror. Not to mention, I did kdinap her. God, Uma must be spinning in her grave. I did promise to take care of Maya and the boy, and this may seem to be the opposite. But I will not harm the girl- nor do I think when Uma said to protect them, she meant ‘force my daughter to marry you’, either. “That’s my deal, ‘Maya, take it or leave it,” my tone almost stoic. She swallows and I feel no sick sense of joy when she leans back onto the back of the couch of the tiny restaurant booth just as her mother had. Only dread. The girl in innocent but she will pay the price for her father. Reluctantly, she slowly nods her head in agreement to our marriage- not that I needed her willingness, I just asked out of politeness. I am a bit disappointed in Maya that she would become a whroe for her father. The man that made her mother’s life on earth, hell.

Sloane has spent years believing the Moon Goddess made no mistakes when she bound her to Kai, the future Beta of the pack and son of the current Beta. He is her fated mate, the other half of her soul, and despite the sharp divide between their ranks, powerful Beta and orphaned Omega, she gives him every fragile piece of herself anyway. Until the cracks begin to show. Kai grows distant. Secretive. Her wolf whimpers every time his scent returns, carrying traces of another female, and though he swears nothing is wrong, Sloane feels the bond between them twisting into something painful and unfamiliar. Still, she clings to him. To the future they are supposed to have. Then, on her way to meet Kai for a date, Sloane is involved in a minor accident. The impact leaves her unconscious, and when she finally wakes in the pack hospital, a reckless idea sparks inside her exhausted mind. Wanting to tease Kai for once instead of always being the one hurting, she pretends she cannot remember anything. She expects panic. Maybe guilt. What she does not expect is betrayal. With barely a pause, Kai tells her that Xavier is her boyfriend instead. Xavier, the Alpha’s cold and intimidating son, stands silently at Kai’s side and says nothing to correct the lie. The same Xavier who has never hidden his dislike for her. The same future Alpha whose piercing stare always leaves her uneasy. Yet instead of exposing Kai’s cruel joke, Xavier calmly steps into the role handed to him. He carries her home himself, stays by her bedside through the night, and treats her with a gentleness she has never seen from him before. The more days pass, the more unsettled Sloane becomes. Kai avoids her eyes. Her wolf grows restless around him, wounded by the weakening mate bond, while strangely drawn toward Xavier’s quiet presence. And Xavier... Xavier watches her like a man guarding something precious, something he has wanted for far too long. Because unbeknownst to Kai, Xavier has been hiding a dangerous secret for years- the future Alpha has been in love with her long before fate ever permitted him to be.
