Sweat is beading on Riley's forehead. Her tan brown-coloured wolf is standing proudly, despite the pain in her heart. Her frame is stiff and her eyes are moist. She can sense it. They are no more. She cannot feel her parents through the pack link. Her loving and caring parents, who are great warriors of the Cresent moon pack just like her are gone. She gritted her teeth with anger. She can hear the cries of pain and anguish of her packmates clearly. She is appointed to guard the inner circle of the pack, where children, untrained wolves, and old people are hiding in the safety of the basement.
'Alpha David,' she thought about the 55-year-old Alpha of the Blue moon pack with hatred. He is a psychotic, crazy, ruthless, sex-addicted old man, who lost his Luna ten years ago. He is not heartbroken after he lost his mate, but he is happy that he can now choose from a variety of beauties to sleep with. When he accepted the fact that he is not going to be granted a second chance at luna for his pack, he began to wage war upon his neighboring packs to take them over and kidnap beautiful she wolfs for his pleasure. There are rumors about the death of his wife. Many of them say that he killed her.
He takes beautiful women against their will and soon they will be found dead of sexual abuse. Now David is destroying Riley's pack, which is a weak pack, to begin with.
Riley's ear's perked when she heard the noise of several paws thundering toward the inner circle.
"Warriors, Brace, They are coming" she warned the warriors who are guarding the inner circle.
She rushed and locked the basement door to stop them from going in and hurting her helpless packmates. Even though she never participated in a real war scene, she is well trained by her parents as she is their only child. She didn't let her inexperience scare her. She let the pain and anger of her parent's death fuel her.
Within minutes, the Blue moon pack wolfs surrounded the inner circle. Riley's gaze zeroed upon one particle wolf, which is wafting the scent of her father strongly. Its muzzle is bloody and so are his paws, just like the other wolfs from the rival pack.
"Attack" she commanded as she was appointed in charge of the safety of the inner circle.
Soon, its chaos everywhere. It is embarrassingly obvious that her pack is going down today. But Riley didn't let that Knowledge deter her. She went straight towards the wolf who most probably is the one who killed her father. Another wolf lunged for Riley, but she moved out of the way at the last moment. When the wolf fell down, she lunged at the wolf and went directly for his jaguar. She bit into his throat with her razor-sharp teeth. She tasted blood on her tongue, which began to drip down her muzzle.
Her gaze is still on the wolf which killed her father. She went for the wolf which is killing one of her pack warriors. She knocked the wolf away from her packmate and lunged at wolf. They tumbled over and the rival wolf landed on top of Riley, who bucked her hips when her rival tried to go for her throat. Her rival lost his balance and fell sideways, giving her the opening she needs to kill him. She immediately attacked her rival, not giving him a chance to regroup.
She bit his stomach, which would make sure that he would lose a lot of blood and be in agonizing pain until the moment he died. She Scratched him with her sharp claws and injured him severely. But she didn't kill him entirely. She wanted him to suffer. She wanted to give him a painful death. But he cannot be saved.
When Riley lost her focus looking at the rival wolf, she was attacked from behind by another wolf from her rival pack. She turned sharply, effectively dislodging the wolf hanging on to her back. When she was about to kill the wolf, she noticed that he is just a pub. He didn't hit puberty yet. She hesitated a little to kill the pup. But a moment of hesitation cost her dearly. She felt something stabbed into her body from behind. Riley's wolf turned her head to see none other than the bastard David standing there with a smirk. He is in his human form and he seems to be quite satisfied with himself.
The anger and loathing Riley felt for the Alpha standing in front of her are immense. The image of her parents crossed her mind. Her anger doubled when she realized that she would never see them again.
Riley lunged at David but felt another wolf attacking her from her right side. She is injured and she is losing a lot of blood as her injury is deep. But she fought with the wolf and killed him. She is angry and she wanted to kill David. She turned towards David, but another wolf attacked her, soon followed by two more. Three male wolfs are trying to contain one single she-wolf, who is making it hard for them to even contain her, let alone injure her.
Soon, her injury caught up with her and she is forced to shift into her human form. She looked at the three wolfs looming over her to kill her. Her vision is hazy and she is losing her conscience.
"Stop, she is too beautiful to get killed at such a young age. Bring her to the pack. I found my new Luna" she heard David announce with lust.
Riley prefers to die than let this lecherous man touch her. Just before she lost her conscience, she heard her wolf's voice in her mind.
"Kill him, Riley. Avenge your parents and your dead pack mates" promptly after that, she succumbed to the darkness.
Riley's povRiley found herself on a small bed in a room smaller than her own in her pack when she woke up. Someone dressed her up in a flimsy nightgown, which is showing more than its covering. The first thought that came to her mind is to run when she realized where she is. But she remembered her parents and who killed them. She remembered the words of her wolf just before she lost conscience.Soon her head began to buzz with voices. She opened her pack link, only to hear her Alpha's command.'Kill him, Riley. Avenge your parents' Alpha Patrick, the Alpha of the crescent moon pack commanded her through their pack link. She stiffened and her fists tightened with anger. He failed to save his pack and now he is commanding her to kill his enemy knowing fully well what is going to happen to her in the enemy territory.Alpha Patrick is a cunning man. He evaluates a situation under the lens of profit or loss. He never takes risks that might jeopardize his position or his pack. That's why h
Riley's door is banged open from outside by a tall and extremely handsome man. She is startled to see a strange man looming over her with an imposing figure. But his gaze is gentle and filled with full of love and adoration directed toward her. Before Riley could ask him who he is, her nostrils tingled with a mouthwatering woodsy masculine scent, which made her wolf come awake with excitement. 'Mate, he is our mate' her wolf began to jump up and down with joy. "Mate" he confirmed what she already know. Riley became overwhelmed with joy. Like every other wolf out there, she too dreamt about the moment when she would meet her mate. Her mate looks more handsome than she ever thought about. "Mate" she whispered with joy. Her mate encased her in his arms protectively. Riley hugged him back. But slowly reality came crashing down, wiping the smile off her face. "No, you have to go away from here. David, the Alpha of this pack is ruthless. Go away before anyone could see you here" Ril
"Drench your weapon in this wolfsbane" the maid offered.Riley misunderstood the maid's intentions. She thought the maid is going to use it to kill her. So she began to reason with the maid."Listen, let me explain ok? He killed my parents and kidnapped me. Who wants to become the wife of a crazy psychotic man like that? You must have known that he killed so many young girls by sexually assaulting them. Do you......" Riley's words are cut short by the maid Sophie."I know how many people have died in his hands because i had to bury my entire family because of him. I know how many young girls are killed by his sexual assaults, because my sister is one among them" Sophie confessed, taking Riley by shock.Riley gasped with shock."What? If he killed your family, then why are still working here as a maid?" She asked the poor maid.Sophie sneered remembering the day she came to the Blue moon pack and begging for a job in the packhouse. She was away from the pack when her parents were slaug
Carter's pov:"I challenge you to a one-on-one fight until death. The winner gets the pack and the girl" Carter proposed.As soon as those words left his mouth, David thundered with anger."You bastard" David sneered.Carter smirked at him."Why oh why are you getting so riled up father? Are you scared?" Carter taunted David.David twisted his lips with anger."Scared? of you? Have forgotten that you were beaten to almost your death when you challenged me the last time? Didn't you learn anything from it?" David reminded his son about the incident which happened eight years ago.Carter is angry, but he simply smiled to goad his father."You mean when i challenged you and ruined your mating ceremony with a girl who is barely sixteen? Are we talking about the same girl who replaced my mother as the pack's new luna? Is she the same one who died just after a couple of months unable to bear your sexual assault? If so, then no. I still remember how bad i was beaten by you. I was just twelve
Heat in werewolves is like a phase where the females are fertile. At this phase, the female werewolves release pheromones, which attracts the males. As the werewolves have heightened senses, they can easily smell when a female goes into heat. That's what is happening to Riley. During heat, female wolves' desire to mate increases tenfolds and they release the pheromones as a result. Carter tightened his fists and tried his best not to breathe in her scent, which is forcing him to lose control. He is not like this. He rarely loses control with females. But Riley is his mate and she is in heat. That's one thing no one can resist from. It's like a strong pull of attraction and needs to mate with his mate. Carter wants to turn away and leave, but her strong scent is like his personal aphrodisiac. He cannot turn away from his mate during this period even if he wants to. On the other hand, all Riley wants to do is strip her clothes and touch herself there to relieve the ache. She is dri
After running away from Carter's bed, Riley hid in the small room where she woke up after she was kidnapped by Alpha David in the Blue moon pack territory. She tossed away the gown she was wearing and had a quick bath before changing into something comfortable. She thought of running away from here but decided against it. She was never a coward and she is not going to start being one now. Her face flamed with embarrassment when she remembered what had transpired between her and Carter. This is the first time she has experienced something like this. She used to hear stories about heat from her female pack mates back in her pack. When they used to explain how intense and uncontrollable the feeling is, she used to think that there is nothing that cannot be controlled. But now that she experienced it herself, she understood that there is nothing one can do if they were in heat. Wolves who find their mate at eighteen are lucky because they will have their mates to take care of them during
After Riley refused to listen to anything about Young master Carter, Sophie gave up. She can understand why Riley is feeling the way she is. Her parents were killed by David and then she was kidnapped and she couldn't even say goodbye to her parents for the one last time. After she was brought here, first David announced his mating ceremony with her, and then his son came and he announced her as the prize if he wins. She is being tossed in between the father and son like a ball. It's quite normal for her to feel angry and frustrated. Riley is not from the Blue moon pack, so she doesn't know that Carter is not like his father. Any woman should be lucky to have him as his mate. 'I hope one day you find a man like our young master. Handsome, thoughtful, and brave ' Sophie thought wistfully. On the other hand, Carter woke up from his dream-like state to find his bed empty. "Riley?" he called for her. But he can tell that she is not in the house. He couldn't hide his amusement at the
"I challenged my father for a dual until death for the pack and that girl" he confessed. Nathan's eyes bulged out of their sockets when he heard it. "What? You included her as your winning prize?" he asked with shock. Carter nodded mutely. "What has gotten into you? Don't tell me you like the girl your father was supposed to sleep with. He is not someone who would wait to touch a woman until he is mated to her. I heard she is an exceptional beauty. They must have already done it by now. How can you even imagine touching the woman your father touched?" he asked with astonishment. Carter knows that she was untouched and pure. Because the blood on his sheets is proof that he has taken her virginity. He was so intoxicated by her pheromones, that he couldn't control himself. He would have been careful if the situation was different. But what is done is done and he can not change it. And three will never be the next time either. He swear himself off all the women, but how could he know
