Years of evading her destiny have come to an end when she's discovered by Kian Thorn, the ruthless Alpha of the Blackclaw Pack, during the blood moon ritual. Despite her defiance, Lena is dragged into the center of the pack's claiming ceremony, where the bond is sealed in blood. But Lena resents the bond that connects her to Kian, and every fiber of her being screams against it. She never wanted to belong to anyone, least of all him. Her heart aches with the weight of the mate bond, and she struggles to reconcile her desire for freedom with the pull of the man who now owns her.

As Lena and Kian fight their inner battles, the love that neither of them can escape may be the very thing that saves or destroys them both.

THE ALPHA'S RELUCTANT MATE Chapter 1 Lena's fate

Chapter 1

Lena crouched in the undergrowth, her heart pounding against her ribs as the blood moon glared down from the sky like a furious, swollen eye. The wind cut through the ancient trees, carrying the desperate cries of Omegas being dragged into the clearing one by one. Each name called out was met with jeers and the cold, merciless voices of Alphas who had come to claim their mate tonight. She pressed a trembling hand to her mouth, stifling the sob rising in her throat. Maybe if she stayed perfectly still, if she didn't even breathe too loudly, they'd miss her. Maybe she could survive this blood moon the same way she'd survived the others. Hidden. Forgotten.

But fate was never that kind.

"Lena."

The sound of her name sliced through the night like a blade. No. No, not now, not like this. She shrank deeper into the brush, panic clouding her senses. Maybe they meant another Lena. Maybe if she stayed down, didn't move, didn't even exist-

A rough hand yanked her from her hiding place, dragging her out into the open. She crashed against a broad chest, the wind knocked from her lungs as she struggled, her nails clawing at skin and cloth. Another hand clamped around her throat, firm but not enough to choke, just enough to still her. "Enough," a voice growled.

And it was a voice she knew. A voice that haunted the dark edges of her memories.

Kian Thorn. Alpha of the Blackclaw Pack. Ruthless. Unforgiving. The last man she ever wanted to touch her.

He stared down at her, dark hair tousled by the wind, his storm-gray eyes like a brewing storm. His jaw clenched, a muscle ticking there as though he fought against something inside himself. And then, for the briefest flicker of a second, recognition passed through his gaze, a flash of something softer before it vanished beneath the hardened lines of his face.

"Found her," he called over his shoulder.

"No," Lena choked out, shaking her head as tears blurred her vision. "You don't understand. I'm not-"

"You're mine," he said, his voice a low, dangerous thing.

Before she could protest, before she could plead, he crushed his mouth to hers.

It wasn't a kiss. It was a claim. It was teeth and heat and fury, tasting of salt and heartbreak. Around them, the pack howled in approval, the noise crashing over her like a wave. And even as she fought it, even as her mind screamed to run, her traitorous wolf whimpered and leaned in, aching for the bond's pull.

And she felt it.

A sharp, electric pulse that snapped through her veins, a soul-deep connection forging itself without mercy.

The mate bond.

It burned, seared itself into her blood, and Lena hated it. She hated the way her body betrayed her, the way her wolf pressed against his, how every instinct screamed mine, mine, mine when all she wanted was to disappear into the earth.

"I don't belong to anyone," she whispered against his lips.

But it was a lie.

Because the bond had already begun to tether itself between them, and nothing in this world, not even death, could sever it now.

Kian held her gaze, his storm-gray eyes searching hers for something - maybe anger, maybe fear, maybe hope. His hand slid beneath her knees, lifting her easily into his arms. She kicked weakly, exhaustion and terror dulling her strength. "You ran long enough," he murmured.

She glared up at him. "I was free."

"You were lost," he corrected coldly.

As he carried her toward the clearing, toward the howling pack, Lena's heartbeat drummed an uneven rhythm against his chest. He hated how it felt. Hated how familiar she was. Because this wasn't how it was supposed to be. Not like this, not with fury and brokenness between them. He should've felt victorious. Should've relished the power of finding the one who defied him. But the knot in his chest only tightened, sharp and suffocating, because nothing about this felt like a win.

Not when she looked at him like he was the monster in every nightmare she'd ever had.

Good. Let her hate him. It was safer that way.

Because she had no idea what claiming him meant. No idea of the curse coiled in his bloodline. No idea what it would cost her to be his.

And by the time she learned the truth, it would be far too late for either of them.

Xiao Hong Mao
4.5

I lived as the "scarred ghost" of the Stephens penthouse, a wife kept in the shadows because my facial burns offended my billionaire husband’s aesthetic. For years, I endured Kason’s coldness and my family's abuse, a submissive puppet who believed she had nowhere else to go. The end came with a blue folder tossed onto my silk sheets. Kason’s mistress was back, and he wanted me out by sunset, offering a five-million-dollar "silence fee" to go hide my face in the countryside. The betrayal cut deep when I discovered my father had already traded my divorce for a corporate bailout. My step-sister mocked my "trashy" appearance at a high-end boutique, while the sales staff treated me like a common thief. At home, my father threatened to cut off my mother's life-saving medicine unless I crawled back to Kason to beg for a better deal. I was the girl who took the blame for a fire she didn't start, the wife who worshipped a man who never looked her in the eye, and the daughter used as a human bargaining chip. I was supposed to be broken, penniless, and desperate. But the woman who stood up wasn't the weak Elease Finch anymore; she was Phoenix, a tactical predator with a $500 million secret. I signed the divorce papers without a single tear, walked past my stunned husband, and wiped the Finch family's bank accounts clean with a few taps on my phone. "Your money is dirty," I told Kason with a cold smile. "I prefer clean hands." The cage is open, the hunt has begun, and I’m starting with the people who thought a scar made me weak.
