Aria Stormveil was destined to be Luna of the Frostfang Pack until her fated mate, Alpha Caleb Frostheart, shattered her heart. Rejected in front of the entire pack, Aria fled, vowing never to look back. In the years since, she's built a life of independence and strength, burying the pain of rejection beneath layers of resilience. But fate isn't done with them yet. When the Frostfang Pack begins to crumble under the weight of betrayal and chaos, Caleb is forced to seek Aria's help. The mate bond he thought he could ignore burns brighter than ever, but Aria isn't the same broken woman he cast aside. She's strong, confident and unwilling to forgive easily. As secrets unravel and old flames reignite, a new danger emerges. Caleb's chosen mate, the cunning and ruthless Ophelia Darksky, will do anything to secure her place as Luna even if it means destroying Aria for good.

Chapter 1 1

The crowd had gathered under the silvery glow of the full moon. The air was thick with anticipation, a tension that crawled over every nerve in Aria Stormveil's body. She stood at the center of the Frostfang Pack's sacred clearing, her chest heaving as the sharp scent of pine and earth surrounded her. All eyes were on her and the man who stood just a few feet away, his icy blue gaze piercing through her as if she were nothing but air.

Caleb Frostheart. Alpha. Her fated mate. The man who held her heart in the palm of his hand.

And the man about to crush it.

"Say something," she whispered, her voice trembling. She hated the weakness in it, hated how vulnerable she sounded. But she couldn't stop herself. "Caleb, please..."

He clenched his jaw, his broad shoulders tense. "Aria..." His voice was low, strained, as if he were fighting a war within himself. But there was no tenderness in his tone, no trace of the man she had dreamt of sharing her life with. "I can't do this."

The words hit her like a slap. She took a step back, her stomach twisting into knots. "What do you mean, you can't do this? We're mates. The Moon Goddess chose us-"

"I didn't ask for this," he interrupted, his tone sharper now. The crowd murmured, the pack shifting uncomfortably at his outburst. "I didn't ask for a mate. I didn't ask for you."

Aria's breath hitched, but she forced herself to stay upright, even as her legs threatened to give out beneath her. "You didn't ask for me? What does that even mean? The bond-"

"The bond doesn't control me," Caleb snapped, his voice echoing through the clearing. He turned away from her, raking a hand through his dark hair. "I'm the Alpha. I have responsibilities, and a mate-" He glanced at her, his gaze hard and unyielding. "A mate will only get in the way."

She flinched as if he'd struck her. The murmurs around them grew louder, the pack exchanging shocked glances.

"I would never get in your way," she said, her voice rising despite the lump forming in her throat. "I would stand by you, Caleb. Support you. That's what a Luna does!"

"You don't understand," he said, his voice softer now, almost apologetic. But it wasn't enough. Not after everything he'd said.

"Then explain it to me," she demanded, her heart pounding. She couldn't let this happen. She wouldn't. "Explain why you're rejecting me in front of everyone."

His silence was deafening.

"Caleb..." Her voice broke, and she hated herself for it. She hated the tears that burned at the corners of her eyes, threatening to spill. "Don't do this. Don't throw away what we have."

"We don't have anything," he said coldly, and this time, there was no hesitation, no hint of regret. "I, Caleb Frostheart, Alpha of the Frostfang Pack, reject you, Aria Stormveil, as my mate."

The clearing fell silent. The words hung in the air, heavy and final.

Aria felt the bond between them snap, the invisible thread that had tied her soul to his unraveling in an instant. The pain was excruciating, a physical ache that radiated through her chest and left her gasping for breath.

"No..." she whispered, shaking her head. "No, you can't..."

But he already had.

The pack remained frozen, their gazes darting between the two of them, unsure of how to react.

"You're dismissed," Caleb said, addressing the crowd without sparing Aria another glance. "This matter is over."

It was a dismissal for her as well, though he didn't say it outright.

Aria stood there, trembling, as the pack began to disperse, their voices low and uncertain. She felt their pity, their judgment, their confusion. She wanted to scream, to tell them to stop looking at her like that. But the words wouldn't come.

She turned and walked away, her head held high despite the tears streaming down her face. She wouldn't let them see her break. Not here. Not now.

But as she reached the edge of the clearing, she paused, her hand gripping the trunk of a nearby tree for support. She turned back to look at Caleb, who stood with his back to her, speaking to someone-Ophelia Darksky.

Of course.

Ophelia's dark eyes glimmered with satisfaction as she placed a hand on Caleb's arm, leaning in close. Her smile was sweet, but Aria saw the triumph in it, the way she looked at Aria as if to say, You've already lost.

Aria clenched her fists, the pain in her chest turning to anger. She wouldn't let Ophelia win. Not completely.

And she wouldn't let Caleb's rejection define her.

Without another word, she turned and walked into the forest, leaving the Frostfang Pack-and her shattered heart-behind.

"Carroll Brown is dead! But you have to marry him in your sister's name." My mother said to me in a cold tone. My sister was engaged to the hottest billionaire. It should have been a perfect marriage. Unexpectedly, Carroll was dead in an accident. My sister didn't want to become a widow, so she forced me to marry her dead fiance. And I had no right to refuse her. Actually, I was the biological daughter of the Smith family. My sister was an adoptive one. My sister and I had been swapped at the hospital when we were just born. My parents had already had a deep relationship with her. So they chose to sacrifice me. On the wedding day, I was taken to the mourning hall. "Ma'am, please keep Master company and let him feel warm." The housekeeper said with a cold expression. I couldn't help but look up at the portrait above the coffin, and my heart skipped a beat at this glance. The man in the portrait was more handsome than the superstars in Hollywood. Carroll Brown? My dead husband? Wow, he was really handsome! I didn't know how long had passed when my stomach began to rebel. After one glance at the coffin, I swallowed my saliva and then begged with my fingers crossed. "Mr. Carroll, I'm starving! May I eat your pastries? You don't mind, do you?" "I do." "Ah!" Scared, I broke out in a cold sweat. My legs went limp, and I fell to the ground. I shouted, "Ghost!" Carroll curled his lips, leaned over, and touched the black coffin. "Mr. Carroll has risen from the dead. What do you think of this headline tomorrow?"

MY MASTERS

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
