Chapter 1
Neah, a s$$$e in her own home, is summoned by Beta Kyle for not cleaning the office to his satisfaction, despite it being spotless. He berates and physically abuses her, emphasizing the importance of making a good impression on the visiting Alpha Dane, whose pack, Black Shadow, is the largest in the world. Neah’s curiosity is piqued, but her attention is soon diverted by the sudden appearance of a mysterious, crimson-eyed man, who turns out to be Alpha Dane himself.
The powerful Alpha exudes an aura of confidence and authority, his intense gaze making Neah’s heart race as he questions her about her strange scent and inability to sense his presence. Neah, accustomed to hiding her true nature, struggles to reveal the truth about her bound Wolf abilities, fearing the repercussions of sharing her secrets with this enigmatic stranger.
As the encounter unfolds, Neah finds herself drawn to Alpha Dane’s commanding presence, despite the danger he poses to her fragile existence. The air is thick with tension, and Neah’s very survival hangs in the balance as she navigates the treacherous landscape of pack politics and ancient secrets.
Chapter 2
Alpha Dane’s piercing gaze intensifies as he questions Neah about her past, his hand tilting her face up to meet his eyes. The air is thick with tension as he reveals his suspicion that Neah used Blood of Wolfsbane to poison her parents, a topic that sparks a heated debate among the Alphas. Neah’s attempts to defend herself are met with skepticism, and Alpha Dane’s words cut deep, forcing her to relive the traumatic event.
As the encounter concludes, Alpha Dane’s departure leaves Neah vulnerable to her brother’s wrath. Beta Kyle and Alpha Trey turn on her, demanding to know what she revealed to the enigmatic Alpha. Neah’s attempts to explain are met with violence, her brother’s hands striking her across the face and pulling her hair. The brothers’ fury is palpable, their anger fueled by the potential consequences of Neah’s secrets being exposed.
Neah’s desperate pleas fall on deaf ears as she’s dragged towards the basement, her fate hanging in the balance. The chapter closes with Neah’s tears burning her cheeks, her world teetering on the edge of chaos as the pack politics and ancient secrets continue to closing in around her.
Chapter 3
Alpha Dane arrives at Moonshine’s packhouse, accompanied by his entourage, and is greeted by Beta Kyle and Alpha Trey. Tensions run high as he demands to speak with Neah, who emerges from her hiding spot, clutching a small bag of belongings. Dane’s interest in Neah is piqued, and he notes that Aero, his wolf, seems to like her as well.
As the group prepares to discuss the contract, a shrill voice pierces the air, and a blonde woman, Trey’s mate, appears, exuding an air of entitlement and disdain towards Neah. Dane intervenes, making it clear that Neah is not her toy or s$$$e, and that he will not tolerate disrespect towards her. The woman’s catty demeanor sparks Aero’s ire, and Dane’s possessiveness towards Neah becomes apparent.
As the group heads to the office to finalize the contract, Neah is given the option to either join them or wait in the car. She chooses to accompany them, despite her clear discomfort and fear of the Alpha’s mate. Dane’s gentle yet firm demeanor towards Neah stands in stark contrast to the hostility and aggression displayed by Trey and his mate, leaving Neah to navigate the treacherous pack dynamics and Dane’s mysterious intentions.
Chapter 4
As Alpha Dane measures Neah’s tiny frame, he’s appalled by her frailty and senses she’s hiding something beneath her baggy dress. He asks directly if she’s injured, but she denies it, despite his certainty she’s lying. Dane’s possessiveness and concern for Neah deepen as he offers her freedom to speak her mind, unlike Trey’s hostility.
Dane reveals his intention to mark Neah, leaving her shocked and bewildered. She discovers she’s meant to be his bride, not a s$$$e, and that Trey’s mistreatment of her could have severe consequences. Neah confesses to being a murderer, but Dane remains resolute in his decision to claim her. When a bloodstain appears on her dress, Dane demands to see her injury, but Neah hesitates, fearing his reaction.
As tensions escalate, Dane agrees to discuss Neah’s injury in private, sensing her unease. He’s determined to uncover the truth about her mysterious past and the secrets she’s hiding. Aero, his wolf, grows restless, urging Dane to protect Neah and reverse the binding that’s hindering her abilities. The air is thick with anticipation as Dane and Neah navigate their complicated dynamics, each step drawing them closer to a fateful alliance.

Chapter 6
As I watch Neah being examined by Raven, I can’t help but wonder about her mysterious past and the secrets she keeps hidden. I call my Beta, Eric, to inquire about any updates on the Moonshine pack, but so far, everything seems normal, which only fuels my curiosity. I’m determined to uncover the truth about Neah’s troubled history and the pack that’s been keeping secrets from the world.
Neah’s peculiar behavior and stern demeanor intrigue me, and I sense that she’s afraid of me, but I want her to know that I’m not like the others who have hurt her. I try to reassure her, but she remains tight-lipped, her enigmatic eyes revealing little. Despite her hesitance, I’m drawn to her, and I’m determined to break down her defenses and bring a smile to her face.
As the full moon rises, I prepare for the pack run, explaining the tradition to Neah, who seems unfamiliar with it. She’s hesitant and unsure, but I reassure her that she’ll soon join us, once she regains her Wolf. As I leave her to rest, I can sense her uncertainty, but I’m determined to win her trust and uncover the secrets that haunt her.
Chapter 7
Neah sits across from Raven at the breakfast table, where Raven reveals a shocking truth: Alpha Dane has had multiple contracted mates before her, none of whom lasted more than a few weeks. Raven warns Neah that she’ll need to be prepared, as Dane’s lack of interest usually seals their fate. The conversation leaves Neah uneasy, especially when Raven mentions the possibility of Dane finding his true mate, a painful memory for Neah who was rejected by her own true mate, Beta Kyle.
As Raven takes Neah to the hospital for the day, Neah’s insecurities linger. Raven’s friendly demeanor and curious nature put Neah at ease, but Neah struggles to connect, hiding her illiteracy and troubled past. Raven, however, is perceptive and soon discovers Neah’s secret, offering to help her learn to read.
As the day unfolds, Neah’s defenses begin to falter, and she starts to open up to Raven. Despite the ominous warnings about Alpha Dane’s intentions, Neah finds solace in Raven’s company, sparking a glimmer of hope in her otherwise dark world. With Raven by her side, Neah faces the uncertainty of her future, and the possibility of finally finding a sense of belonging and trust.
Chapter 8
Neah accompanies Alpha Dane back to the office, her submissive posture and nervous heart rate betraying her unease. Dane’s guilt pricks at him as he realizes he’s upsetting her, and he softens his tone, apologizing for his earlier outburst. He presses her for information about Cassandra, her pack’s Luna, and Neah’s past, her responses revealing a complex web of pain and betrayal.
As they talk, Dane’s intensity and dominance crackle through the air, making Neah’s heart race and her legs tremble. Despite this, she opens up to him, sharing fragments of her past and her fears about being cast aside. Dane, in turn, reveals the truth about his previous brides, citing reasons why he didn’t keep them, and how Raven’s interference had contributed to their departures.
As the conversation deepens, Dane’s fascination with Neah grows, and he finds himself drawn to her in ways he can’t explain. He tends to her wound, his fingers brushing against her skin, sending shivers down her spine. With each passing moment, the air thickens with tension, and the stakes become clearer: will Neah find a sense of belonging with Dane, or will her dark past and his own secrets tear them apart?
Chapter 9
As Neah pulls away from Alpha Dane’s kiss, his expression darkens, and he steps back, dropping his hands from her arms. The air is thick with tension, and Neah feels mortified, unsure of what she’s done wrong. Dane snaps at her to leave, and she hesitates, wondering if she should apologize, but he’s already engrossed in his paperwork.
As she exits the office, she’s confronted by Jenson, one of the men who had accompanied Dane to her brother’s house. Jenson’s curious gaze and gentle tone put Neah on edge, especially when she realizes he’s Raven’s twin brother. She’s wary of trusting him, but he offers to guide her back to her room, his eyes flicking down to her chest, a look she’s seen before, but never in this new environment.
Neah’s uncertainty grows as she navigates the complex web of relationships within the pack, unsure who to trust or how to navigate her growing feelings for Dane. With Jenson’s sudden appearance, the dynamics shift, and Neah must tread carefully to avoid getting entangled in a web of secrets and loyalties.
Chapter 10
Alpha Dane’s piercing crimson eyes bore into Neah’s as he interrogates her about her brother Trey’s wolf, his skepticism palpable as he searches for any hint of deception. Neah, determined to prove her innocence, meets his gaze unwaveringly, though her voice barely above a whisper. The tension between them crackles, and Neah becomes aware of a strange, unspoken power Alpha Dane possesses, one that allows him to command her attention without physical touch.
As the confrontation subsides, Neah’s focus turns to the enigmatic Aero, the entity seemingly living within Alpha Dane. She wonders if Aero has control when Alpha Dane shifts, and what their relationship truly entails. Her curiosity is short-lived, however, as a searing pain erupts from her stomach, leaving her breathless and her vision blurry. Alpha Dane rushes to her side, concern etched on his face as he lifts her top to examine the true extent of her distress.
As Alpha Dane supports Neah, his touch sends a shiver down her spine, and she becomes acutely aware of the complex web of emotions and loyalties that entwine them. The pain, the secrets, and the mysterious forces at play all threaten to consume her, yet Neah is drawn to Alpha Dane, her feelings for him simmering just beneath the surface.
Chapter 11
Dane’s anger and frustration simmer as he demands answers about Neah’s mysterious past, his gaze fixed on her sleeping form. Raven’s hesitant tone and avoidance of eye contact only fuel his suspicions, and Aero’s growls of discontent echo in his mind. Eric’s attempts to calm him down are futile, and Dane’s instincts scream that someone is hiding the truth.
Raven’s eventual confession that Neah had a mate who rejected her sparks a maelstrom of emotions within Dane. The revelation raises more questions than answers, and he can’t help but wonder if Neah’s acceptance of the rejection was the catalyst for her departure from Moonshine. The air is thick with tension as Dane’s Alpha persona begins to emerge, Aero’s presence stirring restlessly beneath the surface.
As the group struggles to unravel the threads of Neah’s past, new secrets and mysteries come to light. Dane’s connection to Neah deepens, his protective instincts on high alert as he tries to untangle the web of lies and half-truths surrounding her. With Raven’s cryptic statements and Eric’s watchful gaze, the stakes are higher than ever, and the fate of Neah and the pack hangs precariously in the balance.
Chapter 12
As I press Neah for answers, she finally reveals the dark truth about her past, her eyes welling up with tears. Beta Kyle, her rejected mate, beat her, and she still bears the emotional scars. The memory of his disgust and anger towards her is etched on her face as she recounts the traumatic experience. I can feel Aero’s agitation simmering beneath the surface, his protective instincts on high alert.
The revelations only lead to more questions, and I’m determined to uncover the truth about Neah’s binding and her mysterious connection to her former mate. Her ability to scent Kyle despite being bound raises more questions than answers, and I’m frustrated by the lack of clarity. Eric’s watchful gaze outside the hospital room is a reminder that there are still secrets lurking in the shadows, waiting to be exposed.
As I leave Neah to rest, my mind is racing with theories and suspicions. The stakes are higher than ever, and I’m more determined than ever to unravel the mysteries surrounding Neah’s past and protect her from those who would harm her. With Eric’s silent vigilance and Aero’s restlessness, I know that we’re on the cusp of uncovering secrets that will change the course of our lives forever.
Chapter 13
As I pace myself to keep up with Neah’s revelations, Alpha Dane’s piercing stare bores into me, demanding truth. Neah’s whispered denials only fuel his frustration, yet his anger dissipates when she vows to never again be near Beta Kyle. The atmosphere shifts as he offers to escort her back to the pack house, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he assists her through her evident pain.
As we make our way through the hospital, Neah’s determination to walk falters, and Alpha Dane swoops in, his rough fingers gently coaxing her to surrender. His tone brooks no argument, and she reluctantly nods, allowing him to sweep her off her feet. He carries her through the house, his satisfaction palpable as he settles her into bed, his d$$$$$$t mannerisms on full display.
With Neah safely tucked away, the silence between us is heavy with unspoken questions and unresolved tensions. Eric’s watchful gaze still lingers, a reminder that secrets continue to lurk in the shadows.
