00:09My smile vanished the second I touched the doorknob.
00:12The voice on the other side made my blood run cold.
00:15For one second, I thought I had to be hearing it wrong.
00:18Then Chloe moaned again, my face went cold, and I drove my heel straight into the door.
00:25My fianc was on top of my best friend Chloe thrusting into her like he'd lost his mind.
00:30I expected vows, not my fianc screwing my best friend.
00:34The man who had sworn to love me for the rest of his life was buried against Chloe's chest,
00:39biting, panting, making wet, filthy sounds that turned my stomach.
00:43And something was wrong with him.
00:44His movements were too rough, too frantic, like something inside him had slipped the leash.
00:52I lunged before he ripped Ethan off the bed and slapped him so hard his head snapped to the side.
00:57The crack of it rang through the room, and with it, every stupid, soft, in-love memory I had of
01:04him blew apart.
01:05Ethan stared up at me, stunned.
01:07Rachel, wait, please.
01:10Hit me, scream at me, rip me apart if you want, just don't leave.
01:15One second ago, he'd been buried between another woman's thighs.
01:18Now he was kneeling at my feet, playing broken and begging for forgiveness.
01:23Get your hands off me.
01:27I stepped over him and went straight for Chloe.
01:30Rachel, don't blame him.
01:32Your scent wasn't enough to calm his wolf.
01:34He needed a real Luna.
01:36I looked at her, at the wedding dress twisted around her body.
01:39At the lace, the torn seams, the smeared makeup, and the smug little tremor still clinging to the corner of
01:45her mouth.
01:45My vision went red, smack.
01:48Her face snapped sideways.
01:50You hit me?
01:51Are you out of your damn mind, Rachel?
01:54I grabbed the scissors off the vanity and hacked through the ruined skirt still hanging off the bottom.
01:59The fabric gave way under the blades.
02:01You deserve each other.
02:03I hope you choke on what you've done.
02:06I flung the shredded lace at her.
02:08Then, I turned away.
02:09I didn't look at Ethan again.
02:11I just wanted one thing.
02:13The moonstone pendant I'd left on the dressing table.
02:16I grabbed the pendant off the dressing table.
02:18Closed my fist around it and headed straight for the elevator.
02:22I hit the button hard.
02:23The doors slid open.
02:25I stepped inside.
02:26Slammed my thumb against the close button.
02:28Then stabbed at the lobby floor.
02:33Crack.
02:34The pale stone at its center had split clean in two.
02:38The words had barely left my mouth when something struck the narrowing gap between the doors.
02:43The panels jerked back open.
02:45A man stepped into the opening.
02:46His gaze dropped to the shattered moonstone in my hand.
02:50Then it lifted to my face.
02:51Little thing.
02:53If you rejected his mark.
02:55He stepped in closer, one hand still braced against the elevator door.
02:59His gaze dropping to my mouth before lifting back to my eyes.
03:02Then I guess you're mine now.
03:05I shoved open the heavy doors to the wall.
03:08More than a hundred guests turned at once.
03:10The hall was dripping with roses and candlelight.
03:13A giant wedding portrait of Ethan and me hung above the stage, smiling down at everyone like a bad joke.
03:20At the center, the emcee lifted his mic with a polished grin.
03:23Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome today's beautiful br-
03:25I walked straight down the aisle, the broken moonstone pendant clenched in my hand.
03:31The roses brushed against my dress as I passed.
03:33The guests were still smiling, still waiting, still thinking this was a wedding.
03:41Today, I wasn't here to get married.
03:45I was here to burn it down.
03:49Attention, everyone.
03:52The wedding is off.
03:56Quick update.
03:58The groom's upstairs fucking the maid of honor, so this wedding won't be moving forward.
04:02Wait, what?
04:03Did she just say Chloe?
04:05Oh my god, Ethan's upstairs with the maid of honor.
04:08Voices crashed over each other from every direction.
04:11I looked out at all those stunned faces, all that pity, all that hungry curiosity, and almost laughed.
04:17I stepped down from the stage and went straight to my parents.
04:21We're done here, let's go.
04:22I'm not leaving.
04:23I'm going upstairs, and I swear to god I'll kill both of those filthy little bastards myself.
04:27I didn't answer, just opened my hand and showed them the broken moonstone.
04:31My grandmother's pendant.
04:33The second my father saw it, all the anger drained out of him.
04:36His fist loosened.
04:37His face turned gray.
04:39And for the first time in my life...
04:41That...
04:41That just broke?
04:44I picked it up, and it split.
04:48My parents looked at each other.
04:50Not the quick, irritated glance of two people caught in family drama.
04:54My mother grabbed my wrist.
04:55My father shoved through the crowd.
04:57And the next thing I knew, they were dragging me out of the hotel so fast my heels nearly gave
05:02out under me.
05:03Cold air hit my face.
05:05A car door flew open.
05:06I was shoved into the back seat.
05:08Don't stop for anything.
05:10Go.
05:11The car peeled out before I could even catch my breath.
05:14I grabbed the front seat with both hands and leaned forward.
05:17Dad, start talking!
05:21Why are we going to the airport, and what aren't you telling me?
05:24Neither of them answered right away.
05:25Streetlight streaked past the windows in flashes.
05:28The city smeared into light outside.
05:30I looked back down at the moonstone pendant in my hand.
05:33A strange red glow pulsed faintly through the cracks.
05:36My stomach dropped.
05:38I tightened my grip.
05:39Dad!
05:40Tell me what the hell this means.
05:42His hands locked around the steering wheel before he finally said.
05:45It means the moonstone seal your grandmother put on you is broken.
05:50A chill crawled down my spine.
05:54Rachel.
05:55Your grandmother was never just a woman with your family heir.
05:59She was the last moon witch.
06:01And you, you inherited her moon witch bloodline.
06:05Looking at the broken moonstone pendant in my hand, I just looked at her.
06:09Then at my father.
06:11Then back at the red light, pulsing through the street.
06:13Forty minutes.
06:15Dad said sharply, laying on the horn.
06:17Find a flight.
06:18Any flight, book it!
06:20Outside, the sky had gone dark.
06:22Traffic thickened by the minute.
06:23Headlights smeared across the windshield in white and red streaks.
06:27Mom sat in the front seat.
06:29Refreshing flight listings so fast her fingers trembled.
06:32I leaned forward and looked into the rear view mirror.
06:35Dad?
06:36That truck's still behind us.
06:38A black pickup was riding our tail.
06:40No headlights.
06:42Just a dark shape glued to our rear bumper.
06:44My father checked the mirror once.
06:46Swore under his breath and yanked the wheel hard.
06:49We shot into the far left lane.
06:51And a gray SUV cut in from the other side and matched our speed.
06:55The passenger window rolled down.
06:57A bald man with a wolf tattoo crawling up his neck leaned half his body out.
07:02His yellow, green eyes locked on me.
07:04That is her, he barked, grinning like something feral.
07:07That's her.
07:08I can smell moon women's blood on her.
07:11Sweet as sin.
07:12Found our prey.
07:13The fuck you will.
07:15He slammed the gas pedal straight to the floor.
07:18The engine roared as the speedometer needle jerked violently to the right.
07:2290D.
07:23110.
07:24The needle kept climbing.
07:25The engine screamed.
07:26My mother grabbed the dash.
07:28I twisted around in my seat and saw more movement behind us.
07:32Shadows shifting inside the pickup.
07:34Doors ready to burst open.
07:35Then it happened.
07:36The car jerked violently.
07:38The tires lost the road.
07:40Metal shrieked.
07:41Glass exploded.
07:42And then the world flipped.
07:43When I came to, I was hanging sideways in my seat.
07:47Everything smelled like gasoline, blood, and hot metal.
07:50For one long second, all I could hear was a thin, vicious ringing inside my skull.
07:55Then I looked up.
07:57My father wasn't moving.
07:58My mother's head had slumped against the shattered window.
08:01Blood running down her cheek in a dark line that wouldn't stop.
08:04My throat closed.
08:05Dad?
08:06Mom?
08:07I reached for them with shaking hands.
08:09Nothing.
08:10Outside boots crunched over broken glass.
08:13Then a voice cut through the dark.
08:15Blood.
08:15Sharp inhale.
08:16Fuck.
08:16You smell that.
08:18Moon witch blood.
08:20Stronger now.
08:20All over her.
08:21Another voice laughed, low and ugly.
08:23Drag her out.
08:24A pack of them rushed the wreck.
08:26I grabbed for the seatbelt release, jabbing at it too hard, too fast.
08:29My fingers were slippery with blood, and every time I pressed, they slid off the buckle instead.
08:33By the time it finally clicked loose, I'd smeared the whole latch red.
08:38I crawled through the broken window, dragging myself over twisted metal.
08:42Glass sliced into my palms, but I never let go of the broken moonstone pendant.
08:46Behind me, one of them laughed.
08:48Run, pretty thing.
08:50Makes it sweeter when we drag you back.
08:53A gray wolf lunged.
08:55It moved so fast I barely caught the shape before it was on me.
08:59Get away from me!
09:00I screamed it raw with everything I had left.
09:03And then, a blast of silver white light exploded out of my palm.
09:07The wolf was hit midair and thrown backward with a shriek.
09:10It slammed into the dirt, rolled twice, then twisted back into human form.
09:14Half crouched on the ground, clutching his burned face.
09:17He started laughing.
09:19Moon witch blood.
09:20So the stories were true.
09:22Then engines hit the road behind us, low, heavy, closing fast.
09:25One of the rogues went still.
09:27Shit, you hear that?
09:28Another looked back once, and all the color drained from his face.
09:32Move.
09:33Now.
09:33Shadow pack.
09:34Black maybox tore through the dark.
09:36The lead car stopped.
09:38A black figure stepped out.
09:39He crossed the distance without a word and stopped in front of me.
09:43The rogues dropped to their knees so fast it looked like instinct.
09:47Marcus, we didn't know she was with you.
09:49Please, have mercy.
09:51He came straight to me and lowered himself onto one knee.
09:54Gold eyes steady and deadly calm.
09:56You again.
09:58But the ringing in my stall swallowed the words before they fully reached me.
10:01Still, I knew that face.
10:03Why is it you again?
10:04Marcus took me to a private villa.
10:06I curled into the far end of the sofa.
10:09Every nerve in my body strung tight as I tracked his every move.
10:12He stood at the long table.
10:14He still hadn't really looked at me.
10:16He only tossed the broken moonstone pendant onto the table like it meant absolutely nothing.
10:21Your blood doesn't do much for me.
10:22Then his gaze drifted over me, slow and deliberate.
10:26But you.
10:27I took a step back.
10:28I don't know anything about moon witches.
10:29I'm just a normal girl.
10:31I want to go back to school.
10:32That got his attention.
10:33In one sharp movement, he crossed the room and bent over me, bracing both hands on the sofa and boxing
10:39me incompletely.
10:40His chest was only inches from mine, and his scent hit me all at once.
10:45Dark cedar smoke and something wild underneath.
10:50Normal?
10:51Normal girls don't end up with half a pack of rogues hunting them.
10:54He lifted a hand to my throat, tracing the faint line the pendant cord had left behind.
10:59His fingers brushed my skin.
11:01I went rigid.
11:03Ethan's probably in hell right now.
11:04He murmured, sounding almost amused.
11:07He marked the wrong mate.
11:08I hated that I almost laughed.
11:10Even curled up in fear, even trapped under him.
11:13I still had the same savage thought.
11:15Good, he deserved to suffer.
11:17Marcus straightened, then reached for the top buttons of his shirt.
11:21What are you doing?
11:23He didn't answer.
11:25He opened the shirt just enough for me to see the black wolf head mark spread across his chest.
11:29Then it moved.
11:30Black smoke rolled beneath his skin, laced with silver light, like something alive was trying to claw its way out.
11:37My breath caught.
11:38What is that?
11:39His voice sank lower, edged with something raw.
11:42It wants you.
11:43He looked down at the shifting mark, his jaw tightening as every muscle in his body seemed to lock.
11:48That was when real panic hit me.
11:50What exactly do you mean?
11:51It wants me?
11:53I jumped off the sofa and backed away so fast, I nearly tripped over the rug, stopping only when the
11:58window hit my back.
11:59I grabbed the curtain and dragged part of it in front of me like it could somehow help.
12:03Don't do anything insane, okay?
12:05You may have saved me, but I still have standards.
12:08I'm not having a breakdown and an ending up in your bed.
12:11He was in front of me before I even finished the sentence.
12:14One second, there was space between us.
12:16The next.
12:16His hand was at the back of my neck, holding me still as my breath caught.
12:20I hit his chest, and he went motionless for half a beat before lowering his head to the curve of
12:25my throat and drawing in one slow, unsteady breath.
12:29Standards?
12:30His voice rumbled against my skin, low and not quite steady now.
12:34Rachel, you have no idea what your scent does to a shadow wolf who spent a century alone.
12:39He lifted his head just enough to look at me.
12:41To me?
12:42He said, each word slower than the last.
12:44You smell like the kind of drug that burns every last shred of reason out of a man.
12:48He drove me back into the window.
12:51Cold glass hit my spine.
12:53His body closed me in.
12:54Then he kissed me.
12:55Hot, hard and without warning.
12:57A shocked sound caught in my throat.
13:00By the time I shoved at his chest, my lungs were already burning.
13:03Back off!
13:04I snapped, shoving at him.
13:06What the hell is wrong with you?
13:08I shoved him again, then slapped him across the face.
13:11He pulled back just far enough for me to breathe.
13:13I stared at him, horrified and furious, my lips stinging.
13:17You don't get to take that from me.
13:18Marcus's head turned with the slap.
13:20When he looked back at me, his expression was unreadable.
13:23Then one corner of his mouth moved, almost like a smile.
13:27He said, voice low and rough.
13:29Guess Ethan really was a gentleman after all.
13:31Ethan stumbled onto the crash site, shouting my name into the wreckage.
13:36Rachel!
13:37But all that answered him was twisted metal, shattered glass, and blood.
13:41Chloe came after him in her heels, one hand pinching her nose against the smell.
13:45Look at all this blood, she said with a grimace.
13:49The rogues probably dragged her off and tore her apart by now.
13:52Shut up!
13:53Ethan spun on her, eyes blazing.
13:55If you hadn't poisoned my wolf spirit, she never would have left the wedding.
14:00She never would have been out here in the first place.
14:03Chloe didn't flinch.
14:04She stepped in close, her voice low and poisonous.
14:08Oh, I drugged you.
14:09Sure.
14:10But don't stand there pretending you didn't want this.
14:13You wanted power, and you wanted her moon witch bloodline.
14:17Save the innocent act for someone stupider than me.
14:20And don't forget, Ethan, you belong to me now.
14:23Cross me, and my family will bury you.
14:25His hand shot out and clamped around her throat.
14:28He slammed her back against the crumpled hood of the wrecked car hard enough to make the metal groan.
14:33The veins in his neck stood out.
14:35If I find her...
14:37He snarled, tightening his grip.
14:39His face twisted with fury.
14:41And you...
14:42You'll rot in a cell, begging to die.
14:45Chloe's face turned red fast.
14:47Her heels scraped uselessly against the dirt as she fought for air.
14:51Then she forced the words out anyway, broken and vicious.
14:55Did you...
14:56You smell...
14:57Ethan's grip loosened by an inch.
15:00Chloe coughed, dragged in air, and laughed right in his face.
15:04The shadow pack was here.
15:06Marcus took her.
15:07She rubbed at her bruised throat and tipped her head, watching him.
15:10And once a woman falls into his hands...
15:12Her smile sharpened.
15:14Do you really think she's still your Rachel?
15:16Ethan went still for half a beat.
15:18That was all Chloe needed.
15:19She slid off the hood, straightened herself, and stepped right back into the game like she'd
15:24never been choked at all.
15:25Name me your only Lena.
15:27She said, smoothing down her dress.
15:29Once I strip Rachel of her title in public, the pack can drag her back and force her to
15:35stand trial.
15:36Her eyes glittered.
15:37She'll be dragged into a bloodline trial whether she wants it or not.
15:41Ethan looked down at his arm.
15:42Black veins were starting to spread beneath his skin.
15:45Signs of wolf spirit backlash.
15:47For the first time, hesitation cut through his rage.
15:51Chloe saw it.
15:52Of course she did.
15:53She stepped closer, one hand sliding up his chest, her thigh brushing high against him
15:58with slow calculated pressure.
16:00I have witch hunters.
16:02She whispered.
16:03Even if Marcus escorts her, we can still take her.
16:05Send word to every pack.
16:07Tell Rachel if she doesn't show herself.
16:09Her lips curved.
16:10The children in her parents' orphanage will die first.
16:14Ethan shoved her off him so hard she stumbled sideways.
16:18His fist crashed into the car door with a dull, brutal bang.
16:21Then he lifted his head.
16:23Make the arrangements.
16:24In three days, Silvermoon Pack will host a wedding no one will forget.
16:28Chloe's smile slowly spread.
16:30She pulled out her phone and started dialing.
16:32The car rolled out of the villa grounds.
16:35Marcus held out a glass filled with dark red liquid.
16:39Drink.
16:40I stared at it.
16:41What is that?
16:42My water down.
16:43Dark red streaks clung to the crystal.
16:45My stomach turned but I drank.
16:47It burned all the way down.
16:49I wiped my mouth and glared at him.
16:51Where are you taking me?
16:53Silvermoon.
16:53My head snapped toward him.
16:55What?
16:55I grabbed for the seatbelt.
16:57My fingers already fumbling for the latch.
17:00Then the screen built into the car lit up.
17:02A voice came through the speakers.
17:04One I recognized instantly, Ethan.
17:07In three days, Silvermoon Pack will hold the Luna ceremony.
17:11Chloe Mercer will be named my one and only Luna.
17:14Rachel Silvermoon, traitor to her pack and collaborator with Outsiders, will submit to a bloodline trial.
17:20If Rachel refuses to appear, the children in her parents' orphanage will pay the price of her place.
17:26My vision flashed white with rage.
17:28The crystal glass cracked in my hand, then shadowed.
17:31Silver blood welled from my palm and ran over my fingers.
17:36He's out of his mind.
17:37The words tore out of me before I could stop them.
17:40He's really threatening those kids?
17:41I'd thought catching him in bed with Chloe on the wedding day had already told me exactly what kind of
17:46monster he was.
17:47Turns out, I'd still given him too much credit.
17:50A man like Ethan never hit bottom.
17:52He only kept sinking.
17:54Marcus sat beside me, turning the wolf head ring on his finger like none of this surprised him.
17:59His profile stayed cold and unreadable.
18:02If he completes the ritual in public, he said, you become open prey to all of Silvermoon.
18:08I swallowed hard.
18:10So either way, I'm dead.
18:12That finally brought his gaze to me.
18:14If you walk in there alone.
18:15His voice stayed low.
18:17Yes.
18:17I leaned back into the seat and let out a shaky breath, because for the first time since the crash,
18:23I wasn't alone.
18:24Marcus was still here.
18:25And somehow that made the fear loosen, just a little.
18:28A few minutes later, the gates of Ethan's estate came into view.
18:32Only this time, the place looked nothing like the home I knew.
18:35Security was everywhere.
18:37One of the guards stepped up to the window and bent for a closer look.
18:41And his face changed instantly.
18:43Alpha Night Thing?
18:44He blurted.
18:45What are you doing?
18:47Marcus gave him the faintest smile.
18:49I'm returning your Luna.
18:51Then he tipped his head toward me and added almost lazily.
18:55Sorry, former Luna.
18:57For one second, I thought I'd misheard him.
18:59Then I turned to him.
19:02You're not coming in with me?
19:04He flicked two fingers.
19:05The car door unlocked with a soft click.
19:08Get out.
19:09Outside.
19:10The guard's expression had already shifted from shock to hunger.
19:13He delivered me straight to their doorstep, like a gift.
19:17I stumbled out of the car and nearly went down on the gravel behind me.
19:21The Mybox engine let out a savage roar.
19:23Then the car whipped around and tore back down the drive without a second glance.
19:27I watched the taillights vanish and let out a short, bitter laugh.
19:31Of course.
19:32Should have known better.
19:33Take her.
19:34Two guards grabbed me before I could run, dragged me through the doors, and threw me into the center of
19:39the great hall hard enough to knock the breath out of me.
19:42When I looked up Silver Moon Pack was already waiting.
19:44Rows of pack members lined both sides of the hall and hundreds of eyes fixed on me at once.
19:50Curious.
19:50Cold.
19:51Hungry.
19:51Then Chloe's voice sliced clean through the silence.
19:54Well look who got sent back.
19:56She stood there in a black wedding gown crusted with shattered diamonds, all smug smiles and poison.
20:02Our precious moon witch heir.
20:05What happened Rachel?
20:06Marcus got bored of you already?
20:08She was curled against Ethan's side like she belonged there, and the sight of them together turned my stomach.
20:14Ethan broke first.
20:16Rachel.
20:16He shoved away from Chloe, crossed the room fast, and dragged me into his arms so hard I almost lost
20:23my footing.
20:24Thank God.
20:25Get off me!
20:26I slammed both hands against his chest and shoved with everything I had.
20:30You don't get to touch me after what you did.
20:32He staggered back half a step, stunned, but the softness vanished from his face almost immediately.
20:38You forced this.
20:39If you hadn't run.
20:41I forced this?
20:42Did I force you to screw Chloe on our wedding day too?
20:44His jaw locked.
20:46His fists clenched.
20:47Black backlash veins climbed the side of his neck like rot spreading under his skin.
20:52You belong to me, Rachel.
20:54Come back, and I won't have to hurt those kids.
20:56This is on you.
20:57He reached for me again.
20:58That's enough.
20:59The doors opened, and a broad gray-haired man in a dark cloak strode in, like he owned the building
21:05and everyone breathing in it.
21:07With one sharp gesture, he summoned the witch hunters.
21:09They wore half-iron masks and moved like trained executioners.
21:14And before I could fight them off, they forced me to the floor.
21:17Hold her still.
21:18A blade flashed.
21:19Pain tore through my forearm, then ripped across my palm, and silver blood spilled into a waiting vial.
21:25I thrashed so hard my shoulder nearly gave out.
21:28Keep her down.
21:29Draw more.
21:29I twisted, kicked, clawed for purchase, and the hunter on my right drove his fist into my ribs.
21:35Agony burst through my side.
21:37My body folded, and I dropped to my knees, gasping.
21:40Stop!
21:41Ethan lunged forward at last, panic finally breaking through his rage.
21:44Enough!
21:45Stop taking blood from her!
21:47If you keep going, she'll die!
21:50Chloe caught him by the arm and shoved him back with surprising force.
21:53Oh, please.
21:55This is taking forever.
21:56She stepped toward me with a ceremonial blade in her hand, the metal carved with red runes that glowed beneath
22:02the chandeliers.
22:03If you want real results, she said sweetly.
22:06Why not just slit her throat?
22:07She pressed the blade to my neck, cold steel-kissed skin.
22:10Let go of me!
22:11I jerked against the hunter's grip with the last of my strength.
22:14If I was going to die here, I'd take her with me.
22:18Then, boom, the hall doors exploded inward, the blast shaking the chandeliers as glass rained down,
22:24and people screamed.
22:26A black shape crossed the room, so fast it barely looked human.
22:30One second Chloe's blade was at my throat.
22:33The next, it snapped in half in her hand.
22:36Silence hit the hall like a blow.
22:38Then came his voice low, deadly, and furious enough to freeze blood.
22:42Who gave you the right to touch her?
22:44Every head in the hall turned at once.
22:46Then the room fell deathly silent.
22:48I forced my eyes open through the blur of pain.
22:51Marcus stood there with one of the witch hunters lifted clean off the floor, his hand locked
22:56around the man's throat.
22:57Marcus!
22:57Have you lost your damn mind?
22:59You'd start a war between two packs over a human?
23:02Marcus let out a short, cold laugh.
23:04Then he snapped the hunter's neck.
23:06Just like that.
23:07The body went limp in his grip, and he hurled it into the wall hard enough to crack the plaster.
23:13Across the hall, Alpha Rowan of the Lewis family went pale.
23:16The old bastard stumbled backward and nearly fell.
23:19Don't forget, if I press that button, the orphanage goes up in flames!
23:25Marcus didn't even blink.
23:27He reached into his coat pocket, pulled out a black metal badge streaked with blood, and
23:32tossed it to the floor.
23:33It spun once before stopping at Rowan's feet.
