“P-please let me go..” I stammered and before I knew it, I was word vomiting while crying. “—I won’t return. You won’t ever see me again. I know you don’t want me as a mate. You hate me, so please let me go.” I cried out. 

Cain’s jaw tightened with each word that left my lips  “What gave you the idea that you have the power to choose what you want?” His voice was low, “You don’t get to decide what, how, and when you leave. Only I get to do that. You don’t get to leave me, you don’t get to run! You only leave when I want you to.” 

"I didn’t ask for this,” I whispered, trembling. “I didn’t ask to be your mate.”

Cain stepped back, “Neither did I,” he muttered under his breath. “But the bond doesn’t give us a choice, does it?”

As the only child of her late Alpha father, Avery Jae was meant to inherit her family’s legacy. But on the day of her arranged marriage to Alpha Lucian, her world crumbles. Rejected, humiliated, and cast aside for her own cousin, Avery barely escapes with her life only to find out a much deeper secret. One that changes everything. 

When Avery awakens, she finds herself in a foreign land, caught by the ruthless guards of the Vehiron pack, led by the infamous Alpha Cain. Tall, broad and as dangerous as the army he commands. 

Alpha Cain has a reputation that sends chills down the spine of even the most dangerous warriors. Haunted by his dark past, he has vowed never to take a mate, yet the moment he lays eyes on Avery, everything changes.

With a single word, Avery is bound to Cain—whether he wants it or not. In a world where betrayal runs deep, can Avery ever trust the alpha who might just be her worst enemy.

Betrayed by Blood, Claimed by the Alpha

Cain stood up, his chair scraping against the floor. They were finally done with the meeting and had concluded on who would be assuming leadership under Cain's command in the Silvermoon pack.

Cain walked towards his table, taking out a couple of documents he needed to work on. He paused for a second, lifting his head up towards Lydia, who was just about to step out of the office too.

She froze mid-step, turning back to face him.

"Avery. Take her out from the servant quarters and move her into my quarters."

Lydia blinked, momentarily stunned. "Your quarters?"

Cain arched his eyebrows. "Yes, my quarters."

"But that means she will no longer be a servant in Vehiron," Lydia replied, her eyes on him.

Cain cleared his throat and looked away. "Yes, I'm lifting her status. She wasn't a servant anyway."
