Waking Up On A Sexy Alpha's Bed.

What the hell?

Anna was in full panic mode now as she gripped the bedsheets close to her naked body, wincing at the bright morning sunlight peeking through the windows on her figure. Unlike most people, she clearly remembered what she had done last night after getting drunk at a party, and that's what landed her in this mess. 

She had sinned losing her virginity to a stranger, but the worst part was, that this man was someone she could not afford to mess with!

This person was the Alpha of the Dark Edge pack, Kodiak Cardinal. 

 In the Great Landmark, the territory was mostly divided into four parts, North, South, and East and West. Kodiak Cardinal was the alpha of the Dark Edge pack which was in the south, while his twin, Zayn Cardinal, was the alpha of the Frost Fang Pack in the north. Those two and their packs were the most powerful and feared wolves in the entire region, unlike her Stark Pride pack and Iron Crest pack, which occupied the east and west respectively.

Kodiak had stormed into her life claiming to be one of her two possible mates a few months ago, and since then, he had been watching over her like a silent guardian. As a submissive wolf, she had barely been able to speak more than five words to him, and she didn't dare to tell him she was in love with another person who was her other possible mate. 

The son of her alpha, Darius was her childhood friend and crush whom she had dreamed of spending her life with. She had now ruined that dream by seducing this man like a cheap whore a day before her coming-of-age ceremony. 

“You are awake.”

Anna froze at the sound of the deep baritone voice, turning around to see that he was right behind her. The sight of his strong, well-defined shoulders, broad chest, and chiseled pecs reminded her of how wild she had been with him last night. 

“Greetings, Alpha Kodiak.” She tried not to stare at his dull red eyes for too long, but instead lowered her eyes onto the floor. This man was the most masculine and attractive man she had seen in her entire life, and he knew it. 

Alpha Kodiak smiled gently at her, highlighting his deep dimples and strong jawline as he grabbed his wallet and brought out a fat wad of cash. “Although last night was a mistake, you will be 20 tomorrow, and you are my mate, so that doesn't matter. You should take a bath to get rid of my scent and use this money to take a cab straight home.”

Anna simply stared at the money in his hand, trying not to be offended by his offer. She was the one who had taken advantage of him and his body, yet he was still trying to take care of her. She grabbed the money and quickly entered the bathroom to wash off his scent. 

A few minutes later, Kodiak saw her coming out of the bathroom all dressed with cautious steps as she tried to escape his bedroom, so he stood up immediately. “Anna.”

“Yes?”

He gave her a few words of advice, “Tomorrow night, your wolf will be coming out for the first time, and it might be a great deal for you to handle. Don't be scared and don't fight it, just let things happen naturally. If you need my help, just tell me.” 

“Alright, I will.” Anna stormed out of the room, shutting the door with a quiet thud as she snuck out of the house. She could sense that the other male wolves living in the house were already awake, but they seemed to be giving her space to escape, so that's precisely what she did. 

Kodiak was in a daze when his Beta barged into the room with a small grin etched on his stony face. He groaned loudly once he saw his friend's expression. “Don't say it.”

“I'm so proud of you, Alpha. You finally sealed the deal.” His Beta, Knox, commended him like he had accomplished a great mission, which made him feel embarrassed. He was the one who was used to being chased by women, not the other way around. 

“That was a mistake.” A hot mistake, he internally corrected himself when he thought about the intense night filled with pleasure. Even if she did not know it, her wolf recognized him as her mate and yielded herself to him. “Do you think she will choose me tomorrow?”

“She has no f*cking choice,” Knox growled at his alpha's insecure words. “We have stayed here for six months, far away from home, just to win her heart, and you have taken care of her more than that puny boyfriend of hers. Her body now belongs to you, so there is no need to worry.”

“I pray to the moon goddess that you are right.” Kodiak let out a shaky breath as he gazed through the window. He had done everything to show his sincerity and willingness to make her happy, even though they were not close. He only hoped she would make the right choice. 

The next night.....

Anna let her Luna and Aunty dress her up in front of the vanity table as she watched her transformation from a pretty young girl to a beautiful mature woman in front of the mirror. She was about to change into the dress her Luna gifted her when she heard a faint thud on her glass window caused by a stone. 

When she finally opened the window, she saw a letter lying on her balcony floor, so she picked it up. It was from Darius, wishing her a happy birthday along with a wooden bracelet as her present, but the more she read the contents of the letter, the paler her expression became in the room. 

She clutched the letter tightly to her chest and stayed frozen on the balcony for a long time, staring at the red moon that was shining bright in the sky with her heart pounding loudly in her chest. But all her thoughts were broken once again when she heard a knock on the door. 

It was her aunt's voice saying, “Anna, dress up quickly and come out. Your adult coming-of-age ceremony is about to start.”
