"Well, it doesn't matter now. As you can see, they took away every ounce of dignity and honor from me. They left me with nothing, Kristoff. I'm just a mere servant now. Give up already and forget about me. I would only bring shame to your position.” Kristoff grabbed my arms, pulled me towards him, and embraced me gently. "This is not how love works, my mate. How could you ask me to forget our love if you already own every ounce of me? Leaving you won't take me anywhere. I would rather stay here and continue to love you." ******************************************************************************** Ari Rosenberg is born a half-rank, an offspring of a high-ranking Alpha father and a lowly Omega mother. Her father's love for her knows no bounds, but her wolfless nature and half-rank status earn her the unrelenting hatred of her stepmother, Seraphina. Despite the odds, Ari dreams of a happily-ever-after with her mate, Kristof Bjorn, the crown Alpha of the formidable Ironflame Pack. Their wedding day should be the start of her fairy tale, but a false accusation shatters her dreams. The ensuing tragedy claims her father's life and forces Ari and her people into the lowest rank as omegas. Determined to reclaim her destiny and driven by a burning desire for revenge, Ari embarks on a journey to right the wrongs that have befallen her. With unwavering resolve, she confronts her past and forges a new future where justice prevails, her lost love is found, and her true power emerges.
View MoreKristoffAs I made my way to the council room, my heart pounded with unease and nerves. I could feel it beating in an irregular rhythm, a troubling sign of the uncertainty that lay ahead. I talked to my wolf looking for assurance. “Ivar, do you think Maddie will—”"It's worth a try, Kristoff," he interjected. "Let’s wait for Maddie to honor her words."Steeling myself, I finally reached the entrance of the room. With a deep breath, I entered, greeted by the assembled council members rising to show their respect."Greetings, Jarl," they chorused. I nodded at them in agreement. As soon as I entered, my eyes scanned to check on my wife. But Maddie was noticeably absent, and my worry deepened. I couldn’t help but voice out my concern to the council members."Where's my wife?"A council member offered a response, “Lady Maddie is still not here. Perhaps something came up and she wouldn’t make it.”The youngest wolf from the council members raised his hand.“May I suggest that we start the
SeraphinaA smirk spread across my lips, a mix of amusement and superiority. "You're lucky I easily forgive, Maddie. I'll spare you with some punishments." With a deep sigh, I let a smile play on my lips."Why did Mama need her useless baby if she could handle everything on her own?!" The question sparked a revelation within me, igniting a bright plan that had previously eluded my thoughts. "Oh, how naive I was to not notice."I shouted at the top of my lungs, summoning my personal servants. The omegas swiftly arrived, heads bowed in fear, awaiting my wrath or the possibility of punishment. Amidst their trepidation, one of the omegas dared to speak, her words stuttered with fear. "La-lady Seraphina… D-do you ne-need any-th-thing?"Approaching the brave omega, she bowed her head even more. But suddenly, I smiled and gently tapped her shoulders. "Relax, young lady. I just wanted to ask for something. No need to be afraid."I also approached the other omegas. They were shaking and couldn
Seraphina I closed the door behind me, my chest heaving with every breath as I held my head in my hands. I couldn't believe the way Maddie had behaved, right in front of me. She used to cower at the mere sight of me, trembling with fear from just one glare. But now, she seemed like a completely different she-wolf. Her defiance and her threat to me, her own mother, was unfathomable. "HOW DARE YOU, MADDIE! I AM YOUR MOTHER! HOW COULD YOU ABANDON ME LIKE THIS!" My voice echoed through the room, laced with a mix of disbelief and fury. I felt the rage bubbling within me, threatening to spill over. My eyes flickered, their color shifting as the primal instincts of my wolf surged forward. I fought to contain it, to keep myself from fully shifting. Instead, I directed my anger toward the nearest object, to which I saw a small desk in the corner of the room. With a wild scream, I threw myself at the desk, pounding it with all my might. Papers flew around as I swept everything off its surfa
I stepped out onto the balcony, cradling a warm cup of tea in my hands. Skagi spread out before me, vast and serene, yet my mind was anything but calm. Thoughts swirled, memories of recent events flooding my consciousness. I took a deep breath, trying to calm the storm within.Ulric’s words echoed in my mind—recovery first. I knew he was right, but it was hard to rest when my thoughts were in turmoil. The sudden shift in my life’s course still felt unreal, like a hazy dream I couldn’t quite grasp. I set down my tea, my fingers lingering on the warm ceramic as I closed my eyes, seeking solace.“Are you really there, my child?” I whispered, my hand instinctively resting on my belly. Silence surrounded me, but I strained my senses, longing for a sign. And then, there it was—the faint, rhythmic beat of a tiny heart."My child!" The words burst from me, tears streaming down my cheeks unchecked. Joy and disbelief flooded my being, mingled with gratitude for this unexpected blessing."I neve
AriAs I stood on the threshold of a new chapter in my life, excitement surged within me. It was time for me to carve my own path, to take control of my destiny. The future lay ahead, uncertain yet promising."I am done living a life not meant for me," I declared firmly. For too long, I had been confined by my mother's expectations, but now I was determined to break free and forge my own way forward."Just wait, my love," I whispered, thinking of Jaxon, the light in my life. With him beside me, I felt strong and ready to overcome any obstacles. His love showed me endless possibilities.Meeting Jaxon changed everything. His love gave me the courage and strength to face challenges that I ignored my whole life. Funny that I’ve known him only for a week but he already did a lot for me. He became my anchor, guiding me through difficult times and bringing peace to my nights. With him, I found the courage to embrace a brighter future, allowing me to assert myself and carve my own path with n
AriAs we wentback to Skagi, each step felt heavy with uncertainty, like carrying a heavy burden. The weight of our mission seemed to press down on us, making it difficult to stay hopeful.The ground beneath our feet was rough and uneven, much like the chaos of thoughts swirling in my head. Ulric's troubled expression mirrored my own worries, and I could see the tension in his shoulders as he walked beside me. Seeking to offer him comfort, I reached out and gently placed a hand on his shoulder."Ulric," I said softly, breaking the heavy silence, "we can't let despair take over. We need to keep going, for Jaxon's sake."He turned to look at me, uncertainty evident in his eyes. "But you heard what Ari said. She doesn’t want to cooperate. What if Jaxon–""We can't keep dwelling on 'what ifs,' Ulric," I interjected, my voice filled with determination. "We must remain strong. We owe it to Jaxon and ourselves."Despite everything, thoughts of Kristoff lingered, giving me hope. What if Maddi
Kristoff Maddie's words lingered as I stepped into my office, the door closing with a heavy thud. The room felt oppressive, like it was closing in on me.Carefully, I moved across the floor to my desk and opened a drawer, greeted by the familiar smell of old wood and paper. Inside, I found a crystal decanter, its contents shining in the dim light. Everything seemed fuzzy, and I couldn't shake the feeling of confusion and worry. The alcohol seemed inviting to calm my nerves.As I poured a drink, the liquid made a soft sound in the glass, and I tried to push away the thoughts swirling in my head. But Maddie's words kept echoing, making it hard to focus.As I took a sip, memories of our conversation came flooding back.“Let’s get a divorce.”The words echoed in my mind, making me wary instead of hurt. I still remembered how her voice had cut through the air like a razor, slicing through the silence of the room. Maddie's determination was clear, but I couldn't shake the feeling that ther
Ari"Maddie!" I called out again, hoping to catch her attention.This time, when Maddie turned around, her expression shifted from fear to concern, then quickly transformed into disappointment and disgust as her eyes met mine."Oh, look who’s here… What the hell are you doing here?" she spat out, her words laced with venom.I remembered the purpose of our surprise visit, but facing Maddie, whom I had always despised, left me at a loss for words. Maddie seized the opportunity to belittle me, her irritation evident from the moment I spoke her name. I understood her frustration immediately; she had almost been caught sneaking off to see Jaxon. So, I allowed her to vent her emotions."I always knew it. Kristoff would never be this crazy for you without seeing you. I am certain you both secretly see each other. And the sole reason why you are here," she accused, her tone dripping with disdain."That’s not true, Maddie," I protested, feeling the need to defend myself against her assumptions
AriAs Ulric and I prepared to leave Skagi for the capital, urgency gripped us. We both wanted to meet Maddie as soon as possible. Time was of the essence for our mission to save Jaxon.“Let’s go, Ari. There’s no time to waste. I’ll handle the sudden meeting with the Jarl’s wife. I’m Kristoff’s brother, so meeting Maddie will not be suspicious and can be seen as normal,” Ulric urged.I agreed, and we rushed out of the door. But to our surprise, Jaxon was about to enter.“Oh guys, how have you been?” Jaxon asked, eyeing our belongings with curiosity. “Are you going somewhere, Ulric? Why didn't you inform me?”Ulric was caught off guard by Jaxon’s sudden visit. “There’s no place to go aside from the capital.”“Really? What’s the reason behind the visit?” Jaxon inquired.Ulric didn’t know what to say, and heaved a sigh, smiling awkwardly. Luckily, I was quick to think.“To the omega quarters of the Alpha mansion, Delta Jaxon,” I interjected.I never uttered a word about my people from th
