After one week, Riley is nervously sitting near her vanity. She is wearing a beautiful off-shoulder white dress, which reaches her ankles. The dress has stone detailing near the bodies. It is a pretty fishtail dress, which hugs her curves to her thighs before flowing down. Her ears have studded blue diamond earrings. Sophie styled her hair into a fancy bun, which is sitting on the nape of her neck. Her makeup is minimal and to the point. Today is the day when she will be formally announced as the Blue moon packs Luna and as Carter Black's mate. Today is the day when she is going to exchange vows with Carter. Her mind wandered back to the day when she was brought here as a captive. So much has happened since that day. David troubled them to the point where everyone celebrated after he died. David couldn't survive more than a day with the wolf's bane darts embedded inside his body. He experienced every pain he inflicted upon others. No one actually felt bad for him. "You ready
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
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
