Several weeks afterwards. Mia, Queen. I’ve been feeling dizzy and weak. I puke a lot and am so exhausted that I can barely eat. I’ve been good friends with Angel since Amira departed for his mate pack, and I’ve made a few new pals inside the pack as well. “How are you feeling right now, my queen?” Angel inquires, worried. “I believe you should go to the hospital.” “I’m just sick. I think all I need is some rest,” I convince her. “Not at all, my queen. At the very least, you should go to the hospital to find out what’s wrong,” she exclaims. “I will accompany you and drive you to the hospital.” “It’s okay,” I say. I have difficulty getting back on my feet. My mate is not at the pack right now. He is at my brother’s pack, assisting him with some rogue cases. With Angel’s assistance, I am finally able to stand on my own. She chose an outfit for me, and I am able to put it on. She help me to where the car is parked and assisted me in entering. She sat in the driver’s
PrologueAva“Daughter, I believe you are special. Your wolf is crystal white, like in ancient times,” my father says, reaching out a hand to me. It’s like his mantra. He says it every time.Ava Hansley is my name. I am a descendant of the renowned and revered Blood Red Pack of werewolves. My parents, Richard and Kerah Hansley, are our pack’s Alpha and Luna.My wolf is a unique breed from the ancient clan of werewolves. They are thought to be rarer than actual Alphas because of the high price you pay to achieve this status and the responsibilities that come with having a white wolf.Amanda is my powerful white wolf. She has beautiful, golden eyes. She is one of the first white wolves to be seen since our people’s origins.“Shifting too early,” Mom mumbles. “I’m not sure why the moon goddess allowed this. It will cause a lot of problems. If our enemies learn about her wolf, they will attack us. I’m worried about what will happen to us and our pack members.”When I met my wolf at age twe
Alpha Richard, Ava’s father:The sun is setting as I read and organize the pack’s stuff in my office. It’s been a long day for me, and I’m feeling exhausted. I need to finish this so that I can get home and relax.I’m trying to concentrate and finish everything before it gets too dark outside. Tomorrow is Ava’s sixteenth birthday. How quickly time flies by.My baby will soon turn eighteen and will meet her mate. I am still thinking about this when I feel like something is not right. My wolf, Keen, keeps pacing in my head as if he were murmuring something to me.Something is seriously wrong. I can sense my wolf’s heightened sense of alertness, something I have never felt before.I need to find out what is causing my wolf’s unease. I need to be prepared for whatever is coming my way. I must be vigilant. I feel a deep and dark presence coming from outside.It is as if something is coming closer and closer. I can’t shake the feeling of dread that’s slowly creeping up on me. I immediately t
Even in moments of fear and horror, love is stronger. Our first instinct is often to flee and protect ourselves, but our parents’ last words linger and offer comfort. Even when the worst has happened, their love still stands strong, offering us strength and courage to keep going in the face of danger.Though it may be hard to accept, death can be the ultimate form of protection and one of the greatest demonstrations of love. When our beloved mothers, fathers, and other family members pass away, we may be forced to grapple with intense grief and sadness, yet at the same time, we can allow ourselves to be comforted by the knowledge that they gave their lives to protect us.We may never forget the moments of fear and horror that arose when we finally said goodbye, but we can also remember our beloved parents and family members who, despite the difficult circumstances, still had the courage to express their love and dedication to us, even in their last moments.When we recall these tender,
Chester.I’m in the office, buried in paperwork. My hand weaves through my hair as exhaustion weighs heavily on me. It’s so tedious. Paperwork can be tiresome and time-consuming, requiring attention to detail and skill. It’s also tough to stay focused and motivated, especially on the same task for a long time.As Alpha King of the Blood Moon Pack, I lead over 1,000 members, making us one of the world’s strongest and largest packs. I rule solo, without a queen, and am known for my firm leadership style.My decisions are final, and I enforce them firmly, earning me the reputation of a ruthless leader. Despite others’ perceptions, I prioritize the pack’s well-being and refuse to compromise my principles. Yet, I still seek my true mate, someone loyal and trustworthy, to share my life with.I keep companions within the pack for pleasure, but that doesn’t make them my queen. I enjoy intimacy with Sophia the most because she’s skilled. She’s devoted but desires to be a queen. Despite her loya
Ava. In the dungeon. I try to move, but I can’t. I’ve never felt so helpless. Fear locks me up, paralyzing me temporarily. Screams and shouts surround me, dead bodies litter the floor, and the stench of death fills the air. It’s pitch dark, and it smells rotten. It’s the pack vault, every wolf’s nightmare, meant for torturing rogues. It serves as a warning and maintains the pack’s power and dominance. It is a reminder of how savage the pack can be, and how their rules must be followed, or else. [The pack’s dominance is closely tied to its ability to enforce its rules, which are designed to ensure the safety of the pack as well as its members. By punishing or even executing rogues, the pack is able to assert its authority and serve as a deterrent to other rogues who may be considering challenging the pack’s power.] The brutality of the punishments reminds pack members of the consequences of disobeying laws. I never thought I’d end up here. Unbelievably, I’m here right now. This i
Ava.“Slave!” Alpha shouts. Alpha Jerry summons me from the living room. Because of my refusal to become his mistress, the alpha, Luna, and everyone else has mistreated me in the pack. The mistreatment has escalated since I refused to submit to Jerry’s demands. I’ve been ignored, demeaned, and barred from participating in activities that other pack members are permitted to do. I’m sick of it.In a flash, I run over to him, dropping what I am doing. I bow my head in fear as I enter the living room. Jerry stares at me, his eyes filled with anger. I can feel my heart pounding in my chest as I brace myself for his reaction. He takes a deep breath and then finally speaks. I’m afraid of being hurt by him again.“My mate needs some food to eat. She is starving,” he screams in his alpha tone.“Yes, Alpha,” I reply before bowing once more and making my way to the kitchen. I prepare some mouthwatering, tasty food, and in thirty minutes, the food is ready. I serve it and put it on a tray with a g
Ava.I stand up and face the wall. That same emptiness is weighing on me. I could barely function without breaking into tears.I am still mourning the loss of my family and my pack members. It’s been years since all of my family died, but the desire for vengeance hasn’t faded. It is the only thing that keeps me alive.I sighed, remembering their joy and smiles. It continues to play in my head, soothing both me and my wolf. I want to find the people responsible for taking my family away from me and make them pay for what they have done. I will never forget the pain and suffering I endured, and I can only find peace in avenging the loss of my loved ones. That is why I continue to strive forward, no matter the loneliness and rejection I face, because I know it will be worth it in the end. Every member of this pack hates me.The beta of this pack, beta Daniel, is the only person in this pack who has been so kind and helpful to me and has helped me a lot. He sneaks around in my cellar each
