Thank you for reading. If you're enjoying the book so far, please leave me a gem. I'll appreciate it.
Mason. I chug down a bottle of whiskey for the umpteenth time today and fling it across the room harshly. It lands on the wall and breaks into a thousand pieces, scattering the pieces of glass around my office but I don’t give a damn. I haven’t been myself since yesterday. That little timid Omega dared to reject me and I was forced to accept the rejection by the cruel Alpha who decided to attend the hunt when he was not wanted. How dare she reject me? How dare she humiliate me in front of my pack members and so many Alphas? I didn’t know they were having an affair behind my back all this time. Come to think of it. They must have planned for him to come and threaten me so he can get her from here. How could she cheat on me when I promised her the world? I told her I would make her my Luna soon. I told her I loved her. No, she knew I loved her. Her body was all I wanted and I couldn’t get tired of her once I started fucking her. I explained clearly to her that I didn’t love Sophi
Gianna. It feels like a thousand years have passed since I saw Rex. I have been trying to keep myself busy by training with Lily but I can't seem to get him off my mind. What exactly is he playing at? He brought me here to be his fake mate and then he left. His father is now starting to doubt if we are real mates. I thought becoming Alpha king was important to him. How will he do that if his father discovers our secret? The Alpha King makes commentaries about how Rex is not behaving like someone who just found his fated mate during dinner but Grandma Ruby would deflect him by changing the subject. Regardless of his suspicions, he's organised a welcome ceremony for me tomorrow. I'm going to be introduced to the pack as the Luna but I wonder what Rex’s absence will look like to the pack. They will probably think I'm not that important to him. The respect the few that I've met are giving me because I'm associated with the royals will stop and I'll start being bullied again.
Gianna. I avert his gaze and proceed to walk towards the entrance, burying the sting in my chest. I’ll just ignore him and pretend he doesn’t exist. Why did he bring me here when he already has someone he loves? Is it a forbidden relationship or something? I haven’t seen him in days and this is what he shows me. I know we are a fake couple but I expected him to at least respect me. But who am I to say anything? I don’t think anyone can ever take me seriously, especially a future King. Unlike the beautiful woman in his arms, I’m like a speck of dust on his shoe. It hurts terribly and I don’t know why, nor do I understand this sour feeling in my heart. I haven’t spent much time with him so what is this possessive feeling in my chest? And what's with my wolf wanting to be close to him? He's literally a stranger. Perhaps I'm feeling this way because my wolf has taken a liking to him. I blame him for being present when I rejected Alpha Mason. This is why she's attached to him. My e
Rex. The rogue had misled us. It seems my Alpha command couldn’t work on him or he had a spell on him that made him immune to my authority. After hours of torture, he finally gave in and gave us a location where we can find the one who’s been sending the threats. Finding this person was important. Especially now that he had mentioned Gianna. I didn’t bring her here for her to suffer again. I wanted her to have a new life and at least be happy. A threat on her was as good as a threat on me and I wanted to find the mastermind by hook or by crook. We followed the rogue but what I didn’t expect was for us to get lost in the wilderness. The asshole dared to trick me into going into the dark forest. We found out a little later when he suddenly escaped and due to the vines and close trees, we couldn’t find him. It also rained so his scent got washed away. Thus, we spent days trying to track him but to no avail. We did actually find him this morning but his eyes, tongue and heart wer
Gianna. When I open my eyes, I'm sleeping in bed and nicely tucked in. I notice that someone dressed me up in purple silk pajamas. A smile crosses my lips knowing who that may be. That was so sweet of him. I sit up and flashes of what happened between Rex and I come to the surface of my mind. Oh my goddess! I let him touch me where the sun doesn't shine. How am I supposed to face him now? How did we end up that way anyway? One minute, I was planning to confront him about why he left and the next, I was pinned against the wall where he showed me heaven with only his fingers. Recalling how his fingers felt inside me, I can't help but shiver as a delicious tingle shoots down my spine. I never knew a pleasure like that existed. The tingles his touch left on my body. The electric currents that coursed through me while he thrust his fingers in and out of me. I finally knew what it felt like to have an orgasm and oh my goddess... He's good. I can still feel his fingers in my c
Rex. I’m never one to completely let go and relax. But as soon as I slip into bed and hold Gianna in my arms, I let my walls down and drift to sleep faster than ever before. The warmth of her petite body... her addictive floral scent. Fuck, I feel like I can conquer the world with her by my side. She gives me that wonderful feeling of home. It's not been long since I brought her here but she's quickly become my own special brand of drug and I need to be close to her to get my daily fix. She's my dangerous addiction because after crossing a line... seeing her tremble in ecstasy as I showed her a whole new world of pleasure. The strong desire she ignited in me. I don't think I can ever let her go. When I open my eyes, I find myself kneeling at the foot of her side of the bed, staring down at her. She’s the perfect description of a sleeping beauty. Her hair has fallen over her face. Her cute lips are formed into a pout as she occasionally mumbles something incoherent in her slee
Gianna. My stomach knots when Rex leaves with only a small glance at me. I glance at Lily and force a smile at her to clear the awkwardness that hangs in the air. “I guess it’s just you and me tonight.” She says and hooks our arms. Let’s go in. I’m starving. I can eat a whole cow.” Funny how she says that because a werewolf, in its wolf form, can practically eat a whole cow. We need those proteins. I say nothing and follow her lead. We are outside a luxurious hall meant for events. The stars are shining brightly in the sky, but so do the fairy lights surrounding the building. Soft music is playing from inside and the hall looks as if it's packed with pack members. My heart leaps to my throat and I suddenly get cold feet. How will I look introducing myself as the Luna? Rex was supposed to introduce me. They know him. Not me. I'll make a fool out of myself. Lily and Hunter are here but it's not the same. Rex is not only the Alpha, but in their eyes, he's my mate. His ab
Gianna. I’ve never felt relieved to see Rex like I do right now. My heart gallops as he rushes towards me and helps me up to my feet. His hands cup my cheeks as he looks into my eyes. He caresses my bruised cheek and his jaw clenches in anger. “Are you ok?” He asks with a concerned look and I nod, tears streaming down my face. I want to throw myself in his arms but there’s a lot of people here. He leads me to one of the empty chairs and I take a seat. I was so scared earlier but now that he's here, I feel safe and protected. “Just give me a moment. I’m sorry I left you alone. I promise. I’m never letting you out of my sight again.” He affirms. I watch as he approaches the man who bullied me with a murderous intent oozing off of him. "Max, you fucking touched what's mine! How dare you? What gave you the right to touch my woman?” His voice thunders around the hall and the man visibly shakes as his eyes glisten with tears. My eyebrows wrinkle in disgust. He was acting all high a
Rose. “I met my mate too last night,” I say as we walk into our room. The high-ranked werewolves have bigger rooms in the packhouse. Reece, being a Gamma, has a big room. There’s a large bed in the centre, a small living area on the right side, a small kitchen and a bathroom area. It's like a mini apartment. We just came back from our mating ceremony. The Alpha officiated the ceremony. After deciding to get mated right away, a small ceremony was quickly arranged for us by the Alpha Queen. I was ok with not having a ceremony but the Queen insisted saying it was important. And she was right. It felt good to say our vows and mark each other in front of everyone. I proudly held my man and sank my teeth into his neck, showing the whole pack that he belongs to me. No one will ever question my relationship with him because the whole pack witnessed us getting bonded. We are now mates for life... one heart, one soul and one mind. Reece stops when he hears my words and looks down at m
Rose. A stab of pain shoots through my chest and I take a step back. My heart squeezes painfully, feeling like it's been ruthlessly ripped out and run along a grater, shredding it to pieces. It turns out my happiness only lasted a few hours. I was so delusional. Did I think I could really keep him? I watch as Reece stills as Amber clings to him, his eyes wider than saucers. Didn't he say he would reject his mate? Were those empty promises? My eyes turn blurry and I dash into the packhouse. The only place I can be right now is my room. Being outside, the full moon will be a painful reminder of what I’m going through. Even though I've run away, a part of me wants Reece to run after me. To choose me over Amber... But she’s his soulmate. Will he be able to resist her? I don't know anyone who’s ever tried and succeeded. I spend the next few minutes sitting at the foot of the bed. My heart is banging violently against my ribcage and I keep glancing at the door. Why isn’
Rose. Weeks later and I can’t seem to take that night off my mind. The way he touched me… the way he kissed me… Oh goddess, I can still feel his tongue on my pussy, his fingers sliding in and out of me and I desperately wish it was his cock. Why did I run away? He was right there, ready to be with me and I fucked it all up. So what if he has a mate? A little play wouldn’t hurt, right? It would. Because my feelings for Reece are so intense, even I don’t understand what I’m feeling. We’ve been meeting at the training grounds but I’ve been avoiding him like the coward I am. I’m afraid that I may start to hope for something that cannot be. He’s not mine. He belongs to another… but why do I feel this strong pull towards him? I'm drawn to him like a moth to a flame... my thoughts are filled with his face and I dream about him all the time. I’m seated on a bench in the gym as I watch him train. With male warriors, thank the goddess. Reece seems to have put that bitch, A
Reece. Why are we women so complicated? One short-haired feisty girl to be exact. She’s been on my mind ever since she had my dick down her throat. I’ve been thinking about her… secretly wanting her. I did ask her to be mine but I was rejected mercilessly. Even though she broke my heart, I haven't stopped loving her. She consumes my thoughts every day and all I want is to make her mine. But she won't give me a chance. Heck, she won't even let me go close to her. She's been on guard ever since I asked her to be my girlfriend. Avoiding me as though I am a disease. To be honest, I did notice that Amber was flirting with me. I was about to push her away when I saw Rose glowering at us. To think she was jealous made my heart soar so I let Amber be to make Rose jealous. But it seems I had shot myself in the foot. My feisty kitten was so angry that she pushed me away and now wants nothing to do with me. When I heard there would be an outing tonight, I was ecstatic. Any opportuni
Rose. My eyes flash as intense anger rips through me. How could Reece let another woman touch him like that? Is there something going on between them? “Excuse you, Rose. Which man are you talking about? Don’t tell me it's Reece. He hasn’t met his mate yet,” Amber taunts, folding her arms across her chest and I feel like closing the gap between us to rip her throat out. Her voice irks me. Her whole presence gets on my nerves and yet, I’ve only been in the same space as her for a few hours. A low growl leaves my lips and I’m about to reply when I suddenly come back to my senses. I meet Reece’s eyes and his confused expression makes my stomach knot. What the hell am I doing? What right do I have to act like a jealous mate? With a pounding heart, I turn and dash out of there like it’s the plague, feeling mortified. Oh no… I just made a fool out of myself. What was I thinking? The wind blows through my eyes and it stings. Why didn’t I notice how windy it was until now? I’m runnin
Rose. The worst thing that can happen to a shifter is falling in love with someone who is not their mate. The fear that them meeting their destined is just a full moon away… the fear that the bond will be stronger than their feelings for you. This has always led to many heartbreaks and that’s why it’s a nightmare for someone who falls in love before meeting their mate. Werewolves in particular have been blessed with mates by the moon goddess. Once an adult werewolf finds their mate, they become one with that person. This bond is so strong that many have failed to defy it... thus, it is not advised to date before meeting one's mate to avoid unnecessary pain. This is my current situation. It’s different for others who fall in love and then later discover they are mates. I had met Reece during several full moons, and the mate bond didn’t click in. So I know for sure that he doesn’t belong to me and it sucks because I’ve fallen for him, hard. The pain that is usually feared is in
Hailey. I can proudly say I’m spoilt rotten by my mate. We’ve been at the penthouse for a week now. And during this time, Zane kept pampering me. He showered me with lots of love and care, making me so happy that my jaws hurt from too much smiling. He would take me out for dinner or lunch. And then we would go site seeing or watch a movie. He would get me whatever little things I want. Back at the penthouse, he would cook and do the dishes. He would step into the shower with me and help me wash. He practically worshipped the ground I walked on and I’ve never felt more special. Who knew I would get myself a man who looks at me the way one would look at a delicious cake? He makes me feel wanted… desired… craved. In his arms, I feel like a woman. I can't imagine I almost made myself a miserable woman by getting mated to the wrong guy. Happiness is free as long as you find the right guy. It is possible to be the most loved woman in the world. Zane has shown me that. The way
Zane. I was almost late. Something had happened in the past few days. A certain pack was attacked by rogues so we had to offer help. This was why I didn't immediately chase after Hailey when I found out about her mating ceremony. I didn’t expect the war to take several days. By the time I was returning home, it was already the date for Hailey’s mating ceremony. I was afraid that I was too late and I had lost her. What if she had already moved on and fallen in love with Alpha Sebastian? My heart was in my throat but luckily, the Alpha King and His Queen were on their way to attend so I hopped into the car with them. I told them my plan of stopping the mating ceremony and they were in full support of my decision. We were indeed a bit late and the ceremony had already commenced when we crossed the Eastern pack's territory. My blood boils as I glare at Alpha Sebastian who is glaring back at me. He was about to sink his teeth into my mate! If I was a minute too late, she would
Hailey. The dreaded day has finally come. I keep staring at my phone, hoping for a miracle even though I know Zane wouldn’t call me. He’s never contacted me since I left the Central pack. But I know he knows the mating ceremony is today. An invitation was sent to The Alpha King, Rex Cooper and his mate, Alpha Queen Gianna Walter. Since Zane is his Beta, he definitely knows I’m getting mated to someone else today. I won't lie. It hurts that he hasn't bothered to reach out to me. Does he hate me so much that he wants nothing to do with me? Has he already moved on? Or found someone else? My stomach twists and turns at the thought. I regret accepting Zane's rejection. What was I thinking? Now I'm stuck. What good is a position of power if I won't be happy? Perhaps I should just run away and become a rogue. Sebastian promised to let me study medicine in the human town after we are mated and I’ve given him an heir. He sure is considerate but he’s still not the one for me. I just
