About
In the shadowy corners of Nightveil Pack, Lenora grapples with the suffocating weight of expectations and betrayal. With her health unraveling, her mother insists on an arranged mateship to bind her to an Alpha—a lifeline that feels more like a shackle. As the celebration for Hailey, the sweet newcomer who has stolen the affections of her childhood friends, echoes through her walls, Lenora realizes that her decision is no longer just about survival. It becomes a desperate bid for freedom.
But the ties that bind her to Evan and Raymond run deep, tangled in a past filled with laughter, loyalty, and a promise of forever. How can she claim her own destiny when their shared history haunts her every move? And what happens when the illusion of friendship frays at the edges, revealing the raw wounds of betrayal?
As Lenora prepares to step into a future orchestrated by others, she must confront the choices that have led her here. Will she find strength in her resolve, or will the ghosts of her past drag her back into a life she longs to escape? In a world where love and loyalty collide, Lenora stands at a crossroads, and the path she chooses may change everything.
Her Alphas Craved Her Love When She Stopped Caring Them EXPANDEDChapter 1
“Lenora, we’ve arranged your Mateship Ceremony,” her mother’s voice pressed into her thoughts through the mind link, firm yet tinged with worry. “Your blood grows more unstable with each day. Only an Alpha’s bond can anchor it and keep you alive.”
Sitting in the half-dark of her room, Lenora let her eyes drift over the shadows clinging to the corners. Silence filled the link, heavy with everything unsaid. She already knew what was coming—her mother’s usual offer of escape.
“If you truly don’t want this,” her mother murmured after a pause, “I’ll talk to your father. You won’t be forced.”
Lenora drew a breath and steadied her tone. “No, Mom. I’ll go through with it.”
Her mother faltered, disbelief thick in her voice. “You…you mean it?”
“Yes,” Lenora replied evenly. “But I’ll need time to settle things here in Nightveil Pack. Begin the preparations.”
She cut the connection before she could second-guess herself, before she could even ask the Alpha’s name. It didn’t matter who he was, only that he was willing to claim a woman everyone thought was fading.
