"Will you marry me, sir?" I asked, the night's harsh cold whipping against my face. Like every stranger, I expected the man in front of me to walk off. But just as I was about to turn, he gripped my hands, causing my body to unleash a tug of sensations upon his touch. I turned steely, fear purring in my veins, at the sight of the stranger I'd confronted minutes ago. He was tall, perfectly built, with tall legs leading up to the most handsome face I've ever seen. His hazel eyes caught mine, and I was, um, hooked. Weird as it may sound, I felt an ounce of curiosity as I anticipated his response. I squinted my eyes, trying to get a clearer view of his face. His hair is golden brown, halting right before his milky ears. A flash of light wiped our sides, and I noticed a mark on his neck, and my jaw fell. A rush of emotions enveloped me at the sight of his mark; he was a werewolf, and so was I. But this stranger wasn't just any werewolf; he was my mate. "Mate." He announced, his dark, velvety voice claiming full charge of my attention. And if you were wondering how I got here, well, here's an explanation. ***** "Wake up, you worthless bag of shit!" A loud yell fills my ears, snapping me out of sleep. With a soft yawn, I opened my eyelids to the view of the tall blonde beauty I knew as my stepsister. Just before I could find out what was going on, a bucket of water pools down my head as my eyelids jerk up to the unpleasant view of Natasha, my stepsister. I could feel fury flashing through me as the cold water washes down, anger channeling through my bloodstream. "What do you want Natasha?" I sneered angrily as I looked down at the view of my wet bed and soaked sheets. Natasha, the tall redhead beauty standing in front me, only giggled mockingly, which added to my anger. Natasha. A frown flashed upon my face at the thought of my nightmare, Natasha, my evil stepsister. She had almost perfect blond hair, tall, slender figures, and a gorgeous face every guy crushes on. But as perfect as she may sound, she has been my nightmare right from day one. Growing up, I had the perfect family consisting of just my mom, my dad, and me. But it was all ruined not quite long after Natasha's mom came into our lives and turned it upside down. My mom left my dad after finding out he had an affair with another lady and left. "Sh*t your shitty mouth up and go downstairs; the old lad wants to see you," Natasha bawls, her eyebrows quirking with anger. By the old lady, she meant my dad. Natasha had become the apple of my father's eyes over the years and had striped me of every string of fatherly love. My father had somehow turned to a stranger over the years, he didn't want me around him most times because he finds my weakness as an Omega a hindrance to his political reputation. I had lived mostly in shadows, my room is located the other end of the pack house, while Natasha got all the luxury I deserved to her name. Recoiling from the harsh slap, I spat angrily, rubbing my cheeks as I watched Natasha swivel and walk out of my room. I watched as her footsteps halted, and she immediately turned. My heart was beating heavily at this point. "And one more thing, bitch!" She scowled, pulling my hair as I cried out in harsh pain. "What do you want, Natasha?" I cried out in pain, trying to free myself from her harsh grip on my hair. I wanted to scream, but that never helped. My room is located in the least visited part of the pack house. My father, the Alpha, loathed me for being weak and wolfless. Therefore, he hid me from most of the pack members who showed Natasha as his legitimate daughter, even though she wasn't. "Don't you dare act funny at the dinner table, or I'll pull out." Natasha threatened with a murderous glint of mischief in her eyes as she suddenly stopped talking. Footsteps. A frown flashed across my face as Natasha hurriedly let go of my hair and took steps. The weak wooden door of my room creaked open to the view of a masculine figure. A smile lit on my face at the sight of Dave, my boyfriend, who was also a minister in my pack. I watched from the corner of my eyes as his sexy soulful lips chimed, "Good morning, Emma." Just before I could respond, Natasha interrupted, "Oh, good morning, Dave," with a flirty tug of her hair and a lick of her cherry-red lips. Natasha continued on her steps and headed out of my room, locking the door behind her. A thin silence embraced the room as I watched Dave take several steps toward me, his body drawing closer to mine. With our faces just a breadth away from each other, Dave pulls me into a kiss. A soft moan finds it's way out of my mouth at the warm touch of his lips on mine, claiming them as if they were his. Our kiss was delightful, rejuvenating, and just what I needed to make my day brighter. A searing of membranes spreads in me, the passion growing thicker with each passing second. I could feel the warm heat of his body close to mine, his woody yet seductive scent filling my nostrils. If anything, I wanted to be pinned down to the four corners of my bed by him, Dave—right here, right now. A whip of pleasure trudged through me as his fingers traced their way to my dress's zipper. Just as he was about to pull it open, I stopped him. "No, we shouldn't be doing this." I spat out lowly, his shirtless, enticing figure pulling me, but I resisted. I could see the flash of anger in his eyes as he pulled away from the embrace, put on his shirt, and turned to leave the room. "Dave, I am sorry, I just…" I was about to say when he cut me short, "You just what Emma, to lose your virginity on the night of the mating event." "Well, I think this relationship better be cut off if that is it." He announced, a tear running down my cheek as I watched him slam the door of my room. I tried to call him back, but he was already out of my room before I could even muster up words. Dave had been patient with me, I had always wanted to lose my innocence to my mate on the night of the mating season. "Get ready for pack training, Emma.” His smooth baritone voice commanded authoritatively from the hallways. A pool of tears cascaded down my cheek as I wiped it off. Dave had been my crush ever since childhood. I was lame, and he was special; even in high school, he had girls pooling in his every direction. He had agreed to date me after making me promise to keep our relationship a secret from everyone in the pack for reasons best known to him. I know too well that he was ashamed of me, as I was merely regarded as the daughter of the alpha, weak and lame. He was perfect—every girl's dream mate, a minister in my pack. And I was… nothing. Just the hidden, unknown, legitimate daughter of the alpha that is hidden away from the whole world. Just as I was about to continue pondering my thoughts, a loud sound caught my attention. The breakfast bell. My father hated latecomers to the grand breakfast table; he saw it as disrespect and a slap to his face as the Alpha. And moreover, I would rather not get into any more trouble than the ones I still had pending. I had just ten minutes to get ready and get to the breakfast table, or else I was in big trouble. Jumping to my feet hurriedly, I rushed to the shower, washed my face, and hurriedly ran to put on some clothes. Turning my gaze to the broken antique clock on my room wall, I was bewildered. I had just four minutes to get past the other half of the pack house and get to the breakfast table before my father. And that was basically possible if I took shortcuts compared to the normal routes to the other side of the pack house. Taking to my heels, I ran out of the room into the hallway, running like a loose madman as I ran and collided with several maids. I continued running, my foot strength giving out almost immediately as I halted right before the breakfast table. Yay, I was early. A wide smile plastered on my cheeks as I jumped for joy and was about to walk in when, all of a sudden, a dark, mysterious voice beamed, "You're late, Emmaline!"EMMA'S POV"Alpha Kai, watch out!" I yelled, my voice cutting through the noise.My heartbeat cowers, fear purring in my veins as a tug of urgency enveloped me. In that split second, I watched as Alpha Kai suddenly maneuvered, causing the impending bullet to hit the wall behind him.Kai moved with lightning speed, tackling me to the ground just as the gunshot rang out. The deafening crack echoed in my ears, and I felt the impact of Kai’s body shielding mine. We hit the ground hard, but he kept me covered, protecting me with his own body.For a moment, everything was a blur of sound and motion. The pack’s warriors sprang into action, converging on the hooded figure who had tried to assassinate our Alpha. Kai's breath was hot against my ear, his body tense and ready for anything."Are you okay?" he asked, his voice low and urgent.I nodded, my heart still racing. "Yes, I’m fine. But you...""I’m fine too," he assured me, his gaze intense. "Stay close to me."The entire hall rumbled in f
PAMELA'S POV I stood in the shadows, seething as I watched the preparations for the party. Emma, that undeserving weakling, would soon be standing where I should be. It made my blood boil. How did she, of all people, end up with Alpha Kai’s favor? She didn’t belong here. She wasn’t strong or powerful. She was just a naive girl who happened to catch his eye. How pathetic.For years, I’ve been by Kai’s side, sharing nights with him, giving him everything he needed. Now, this girl waltzes in and takes my place? It’s infuriating. She doesn’t have the strength or cunning to be his Luna. She’ll ruin everything we’ve built. I’ve worked too hard and sacrificed too much to let this weakling take what’s mine. Emma’s nothing but a hindrance, a distraction. If she thinks she can just walk in and take over, she’s delusional. She’s not fit to be the Luna of this pack, and I will make sure she knows it."Welcome to the party," I watched as Luna Marissa invited in the guests for the party. The part
AlPHA KAI'S POVWhen Emma fainted, I acted immediately, calling for help with a commanding tone that brooked no delay. My men responded swiftly, and within minutes, we had her on her way to the hospital. Pamela, of course, tried to stop me. She attempted to sway me with her usual manipulative charm, but I brushed her off coldly. Her efforts to distract me were futile.“You're not going after her, are you? She's just a girl,” Pamela had hissed, eyes flashing with a mix of anger and confusion. But I ignored her, my focus entirely on Emma. There was something about her, something that stirred a strange, unfamiliar emotion within me.Once we arrived at the hospital, I stood over Emma, looking down at her unconscious figure. She seemed so fragile, so different from the other women in my life. Pamela and my other concubines had never elicited such feelings from me. They were convenient distractions, nothing more. But Emma… she was like a little lamb, helpless and pure. The sight of her lyin
EMMA'S POV I sat still as Pamela expertly worked on my hair, her hands moving with practiced ease. I tried to ignore the faint animosity in her touch, focusing instead on the reflection staring back at me in the mirror. My hair, usually a tangled mess, was now a cascade of smooth waves. I couldn’t help but smile, momentarily forgetting the tension that seemed to follow me everywhere in this pack.Just then, the doorbell rang, a sharp sound cutting through the quiet room. Pamela paused, her fingers still woven into my hair, as we both turned towards the door. It creaked open, and a man stepped inside. He didn't look like one of the pack workers—no uniform, no familiar face.My eyes shifted back to the mirror, catching my own gaze. I looked different, almost like someone else entirely. Maybe it was the hair, or perhaps it was the way Pamela’s eyes narrowed slightly at the stranger, a flicker of annoyance crossing her face."Excuse me, who are you?" Madeline muttered, her tone edging
ALPHA KIA'S POVTick. Tock.The sound of my wristwatch's constant clicking fills my ears as I braced the thin silence of my chambers. I had requested for Carl to block everyone from coming in, the ministers, Luke, and most importantly, Pamela.After the night I spent with Emma, I had left her room and was on my way back to my suite when I ran into the figure of Pamela. "You were with her right?" I could vividly remember her saying."What does that scrawny girl has that I don't? Come on, you know I am far better than her." She rambled and I had shut her up leaving her grumbles behind as I made my way to my suite.Pamela had always been a fleeting distraction—a fiery, intense presence that heated the nights but left no lasting mark. Our shared moments were nothing more than a way to pass time, to indulge in the physical pleasures of our connection. I never allowed myself to be fooled into thinking there was more to it. She was an easy escape, a way to satisfy cravings without any emotio
DEAR READER, This chapter may contain some graphical and erotic details, proceed with caution.--------EMMA'S POV The cool ethereal moonlight pouring in from my room's window intensifies as all my previous worries vanishes into thin air. The world, as I could recall, stood still as my fixated gaze held in his features.All I could see now was Alpha Kai's silhouette draped in the moonlight, his perfectly outlined shoulders edging off an air of intrigue. I tilted my head slightly as I felt his heated gaze raking over me, sensations sprouting from all the corners of my body. The warm breeze carried the scent of his fragrance, my nostrils flaring up as his intriguing smell filled my insides. He smelt, woody, attractive, dangerously seductive.My nipples throbbed as the mate pull grew stronger causing my to let out a silent gasp. My nipples were already succumbing to the effect of his presence, his ravishing control taking over my body.I watched him take a series of steps as I watche
PAMELA'S POV"No Pamela," I heard him say. Watching as Alpha Kai mouthed his words, I couldn't help but get turned on at his sexy figure. His words somehow seemed to slur into the wind as I lost all sense of hearing just by staring at his handsome face.I watched his lips pull apartment lightly, but this time, my ears took note of every word he said. "This has to end," He beamed, my jaw dropping as shock reeled into my bloodstream."Alpha..." I called out to me as he veered out of the room.I watched as Alpha Kai made his way out of the room, anger purring in my veins. How dare he take her side over mine? After everything we’ve shared, all the nights and whispered secrets, did none of it matter?Running my hand through my hair, I felt my frustration grow. This Emma—his so-called mate—had just arrived, and already she was causing trouble. "Witch," I muttered under my breath. "She’s nothing but a weak, scrawny witch."The thought of Emma replacing me, of Alpha Kai actually caring for so
ALPHA KAI'S POV“Leave her alone,” I growled, my eyes burning with rage. My wolf, Sebastian, felt the fury and urgency from afar, driving me to act swiftly. Madeline’s call had alerted me to the situation, and I couldn’t afford to let Pamela take things too far.I stormed into the room, my presence commanding immediate attention. Pamela stood with the sword raised, her gaze meeting mine with defiance. “What’s the meaning of this?” I demanded.“She’s a thief,” Pamela said sharply, her voice laced with frustration. “She’s trespassing, and I was about to deal with her.”I shot Pamela a hard look. “And you think your personal issues justify this? Your grievances are irrelevant.”Pamela’s face twisted in irritation. “Oh, so now that you’ve found your precious little mate, you think you can just leave me here for this weak, scrawny girl? Typical.”Her casual, contemptuous tone was met with a low, commanding growl from me. “Enough. This discussion ends now. You will follow my orders and step
EMMA'S POV"Who are you?" the lady in front of me demanded, her voice cutting through the air. She was dressed in a purple linen gown, her ears adorned with silver earrings. With her poised demeanor, I could tell she was a respected figure in the Crescent Pack. She looked young—around my age."Thief!" she suddenly yelled, her words slamming into me like a punch. My head jerked back in shock, my heart pounding as I struggled to make sense of the accusation.I stumbled backward, my heart racing as confusion and panic set in. "What? No, I'm not—"Before I could finish my sentence, her eyes narrowed, and she stepped closer, her voice rising. "Guards! Seize her!"Two guards appeared seemingly out of nowhere, their hands gripping my arms tightly. The lady's face twisted with anger and something else—maybe jealousy or spite. She looked unhinged, her eyes wild as she glared at me."Wait! There's been a mistake!" I tried to explain, but my words were drowned out by her shouting."How dare you
