簡介
For as long as can be remembered, there were five wolf packs existing together bounded by accord but divided by blood, territory and competition. Rhys Baxter, alpha of the stormhawl pack, never doubted the order of their world. He was raised to believe that strength and power keeps his people safe. His father’s reign has made the pack one of the most powerful in their dominion and Rhys intends on making it stronger. Then he meets Nyra Windsor, Nyra Windsor, a Silverpine moon keeper, a healer. She’s one of the only women that looks at him without fear and she refuses to give him any reason to believe she wants to be around him, her scent is irresistible, her moon mark answers his, their wolves have already chosen each other. Nyra and Rhys may have been bonded by the moon but it’s up to them to choose whether or not they will choose each other. Nyra hasn’t, but there’s a reason she’s rejecting their bond, a reason connected to the disappearance of her mother long before she could understand what happened, the history of the other packs and a secret rhys’ father had spent years hiding. As old partnerships begin to falter and someone operates from the shadows, rhys is forced to question everything he believed about the order of their world because the woman he was raised to not trust might end up being the one who is capable of showing him how to unite the world he is destined to rule. With his father doing everything to destroy her to protect the legacy, rhys must choose the kind of alpha he wants to become.

正文内容

Rhys’ pov

I knew only two things before I reached the northern border.

one, someone had crossed Stormhawl territory.

and two, they had no permission.

I already caught their scent from a mile away, it wasn't human nor one of us.

as we got closer to the boarder my wolf stirred beneath my skin, reacting to the scent.

Silverpine.

i slowed, the forest surrounding me became eerily quiet even the wind that made the leaves rustle had

disappeared making the only noticeable sound out footsteps against the debris covered paths,

my gaze fell a symbol carved into the bark of the blackened tree.

i stepped closer to get a better look, at first glance it looked like an ancient symbol meaning whoever

marked the tree didn't want it to be easily recognized.

Kruz, my second, stepped beside me.

"you've seen this before, haven't you?"

he hesitates for a second.

"once"

"where?" my brows furrowed

his eyes remained fixated on the symbol

"duskveil"

that caught my attention immediately.

a duskveil mark had no business being on this side of stormhawl or any side and even if they had to they

don't leave things where they could be found making it extremely unusual

"we'll deal with that later" i dismissed the subject turning back to the path, Kruz followed.

"how many?" I asked

"just one set of tracks were found"

"just one?"

he nodded,

"one wolf"

i glanced over at the trees ahead,

"that's deliberate"

Kruz didn't answer.

he didn't need to.

nothing crosses the stormhawl border by accident, infact nothing crosses the border at all.

"let’s split up, have the guards check farther in the mountains. I'll keep heading straight"

"alright" he said before disappearing between the trees.

i followed the clear tracks leading me into the dense forest.

whoever left them made no attempt to cover their prints or hide their presence, it was clear against the

moist ground leading deeper into my territory.

they were not leaving.

they seemed to know where they were going.

they definitely wanted to be found.

"Whoever you are,

" i called into the space surrounding me.

this instant and lessen your punishment.

"

"I'm giving you the option to reveal yourself

intimidation usually works, nobody wants to face the wrath of stormhawl but i got nothing back.

not even a sound.

just then i caught a whiff of something unfamiliar, not silverpine something I'd never smelled before.

my wolf reacted causing me to turn in direction of the scent.

a sound came from the bushes.

i stopped.

a wolf stepped into the clearing, female.

silver.

not black.

not grey.

silver from her nose down to the tail, her coat luminous beneath the moonlight. every moment radiating

light as if she was a carrier.

she was clearly smaller than me but there was something about her stance that made that fact

completely irrelevant.

she didn't seem to be afraid of me.

that was the was the first thing I noticed when she stepped out, second was how my wolf went still.

completely.

that never happens.

not alert or threatened.

just still.

the feeling was completely foreign

mine.

the word took me by surprise, it came from somewhere deeper than i could imagine.

instinct.

i paid no attention to it or at least I tried

she lifted her head and looked directly at me.

something beneath my skin burned.

I stepped closer to her

she didn't move, most people did.

then a distant howl broke the deafening silence between us.

her eyes twitched.

the call was for her.

she turned towards the sound, then another howl came.

louder.

she responded

silverpine.

her pack was calling her back.

before I could I react, she raced past me almost like she didn't want to be caught here by someone from

her pack.

"Wait!" I called moving after her.

she turned baring her teeth, not aggressively but as warning.

I stopped and our eyes met again before she turned to disappear into the forest.

a few minutes went by with my body stuck in place after she'd disappeared and my wolf hadn't settled

either,

she was mine.

i had no name to place her with.

i had no idea why she crossed my territory.

i didnt know why my moon mark still burned beneath my skin.

but i was certain about one thing

i am going to find her.
