Iris Snow was an unshifted omega in the Bloodmoon Pack, a weak outcast with no wolf of her own. Her fate was sealed the moment she was born—destined to be rejected by her Alpha mate, Lorcan Bloodhowl, a powerful werewolf with Lycan blood who would never accept someone so fragile as his Luna. 

Instead, Lorcan married Ember Valehart, the fierce Alpha of the Ember Howl Kin.

Exiled and abandoned, Iris became a rogue, prey to any werewolf and creatures of the dark, who hunt her. But fate had other plans. 

Taken in by a powerful vampire, Iris learns she’s not as powerless as she thought. She is one of the rare few who can wield the Arcane—a force that sets her apart from her kind.

Thrown into the dangerous world inside the Covens of Midnight, an elite school for Arcane users, Iris must master her newfound powers, confront powerful enemies, and uncover the secrets of her past while navigating that matters of the heart.

Covens of Midnight

"Shut up," Lorcan snarled, his voice like a whip. "Say that again, and I'll wring your neck myself."

His words felt like a physical blow, but I stood my ground. Tears stung my eyes, my throat tightening, but I refused to let them fall.

"Y-you can't marry her," I whispered, my voice cracking. "You're destined to me. I am your mate."

Lorcan let out a bitter, humorless laugh, the sound colder than any growl. He leaned in, his face just inches from mine, his silver eyes burning with cruel intensity.

"Destined?" His voice dripped with venom. "Do you think I care about some ancient bond?" He scoffed, shaking his head. "You're nothing to me, Iris. Nothing. The Moon Goddess made a mistake if she thought I'd be tied to a wolfless, weak little omega like you."

His words sliced through me, each one a dagger straight to my heart.

"I write my own fate," he snarled, his voice rising. "And my fate has nothing to do with you. Tomorrow, I'll marry Ember and claim my place as Alpha. You?" His lips curled into a cruel smirk. "You'll stay exactly where you belong—scrubbing floors and delivering laundry. That's all you're good for. That's all you'll ever be."

He stepped past me, shoving the door open without another glance.

The moment the door slammed shut, the dam inside me broke.

I stood there, frozen, my body trembling violently. My heart ached, the mate bond pulling me toward him even as he ripped me apart with his words.

I had never felt so small. So powerless.

But as the pain threatened to swallow me whole, something inside me sparked—something raw, something angry.

Lorcan thought he could ignore our bond.

He thought he could erase me from his life.

Because the Moon Goddess didn't make mistakes.

My chest heaved as I struggled to hold back the sob clawing its way up my throat. The mate bond, once a source of hope and belonging, now felt like a cruel noose tightening around me.

All my life, I had known nothing of warmth, love, or care. I had endured the cold stares, the cruel words, and the crushing loneliness, clinging desperately to the one fragile hope that kept me going—the belief that my mate would one day save me, that he would be the light in my darkness.

But I had been wrong. Terribly, heartbreakingly wrong.

No one was coming to save me. And the one destined to cherish me, to protect me, would be the first to destroy me.

"Lorcan . . ." I whispered, my voice barely audible.

He didn't wait to hear more. With one final sneer, he brushed past me, the door slamming shut behind him. The sound echoed in the silence, a final punctuation to the shattering of my world.

I stood frozen, my vision blurred by unshed tears. My hands trembled at my sides, and the crushing weight of rejection bore down on my shoulders.

I didn't want him to be with anyone else. It was ironic—how I hadn't thought much about Lorcan before. But the moment I turned eighteen and realized he was my mate, everything changed.

He became the center of my world, an unyielding pull I couldn't escape. Though his Lycan blood allowed him to resist the mate bond, I wasn't so fortunate. The bond consumed me, its fire searing my soul with longing and heartbreak.

What could I do now? How could I move forward knowing my mate was about to bind himself to another?
