Marked by the Alpha By Macphinee Forsonnie In the cursed city of Ravenshade, where secrets howl louder than wolves, 17-year-old Seraphina never expected her blood would awaken an ancient bond. When an Alpha with fire in his eyes demands her loyalty, she answers with a crown she never asked for. Torn between two worlds-the girl she was and the queen she must become-Seraphina faces betrayal, forbidden love, and a kingdom dying for her to rule or burn. But when the moon chooses her, and warlines are drawn, one question remains: Is she the hunter-or the hunted?

Chapter 1 THE GIRL WHO DEFIED THE ALPHA

"

"Who do you think you are?"

His voice thundered through the clearing, deep and sharp like a blade slicing through midnight.

I didn't flinch. I didn't bow. I didn't tremble like the rest.

I looked him dead in the eyes-the eyes of the Alpha feared by everyone in Black Hollow-and said,

"A queen. Her Royal Highness. And you just interrupted my coronation."

A thick silence fell over the pack.

Kael Ryker-Alpha of the Shadowfangs-stepped forward slowly, the golden ring in his left iris catching the light like fire. The mark of a born Alpha. He reeked of dominance, the kind that made even trees lean away.

"You're standing on my land," he growled. "My rules."

I tilted my chin. "Then maybe the land should find itself a new king."

A few gasps cut through the crowd. One of the wolves shifted nervously, his claws dragging across the gravel. Another dropped his eyes to the ground, refusing to watch the bloodbath that should have followed.

But Kael didn't strike.

He studied me. Watched me. As if trying to understand what kind of storm I was.

And I didn't blink.

I couldn't afford to. Not when I knew the truth: one wrong breath, and he'd smell it. The fear. The lie. The fact that I wasn't some royal. Not really. Just a girl with a strange mark on her wrist, a scar she couldn't explain, and a secret that might get her killed.

I was betting my life on a bluff.

And Kael Ryker was the kind of monster who always called them.

He stepped closer. "You're not from here."

"Neither is the moon," I said. "But it still rises."

He stopped. His mouth twitched.

A laugh?

No.

A warning.

"I'll ask one last time," he said, voice low. Dangerous. "What's your name?"

My hand tightened at my side. I thought of my parents. The wreckage. The fire. The unanswered questions that followed me like ghosts. And I remembered why I was here.

I stepped closer, until I could see the faint line of a claw mark across his neck-old, faded, but deep. A wound that never healed.

I said,

"Aria Blake. Daughter of no one. Marked by something older than you."

His eyes darkened. "Marked?"

I didn't answer. Instead, I pulled back my sleeve. Showed him the glowing scar on my wrist-the crescent-shaped burn that had appeared the night I turned seventeen.

The mark pulsed under his gaze.

And for the first time since I arrived in Black Hollow, I saw it.

The Alpha's breath hitched.

He recognized it.

And that meant I wasn't bluffing anymore.

I was a threat.

I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved. He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again. "Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports. For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian. In return, he treated me like furniture. He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste. I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home. So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco. I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage. But I underestimated Dante. When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat. He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.
