CHAPTER 6
"I am Alpha Kai of the crescent pack!" I watched from the corners of my eyes as Alpha Kai pulled out all of a sudden from behind me. The uneasy tension in the air suddenly dies down, a soft silence hanging in the air. I watched as my father's once proud expression twisted into a frown of shock and surprise. I watched amidst shock as my father halted, his expression twisting in surprise as he turned towards the voice. Alpha Kai stood at the entrance, his presence radiating authority and power. His eyes were sharp, his expression resolute. "Release her," he commanded, his voice brooking no argument. The guards hesitated, glancing at my father for direction. My father's face contorted in a mix of confusion and anger. "Who dares—" My father dragged his words, fear gleaming in my veins as I shivered in the tight grasps of the guards. He was already boiling with fury, his jaw tightly clenched as Alpha Kai confidently strides inti the light. "I am Alpha Kai of the Crimson Pack," Kai interrupted, stepping forward with a confidence that silenced the room. His words hung heavily in the air, silence layering against the four walls of the room. I watched as my father's face turned pale as the realization of who stood before him sank in. He took an involuntary step back, his bravado crumbling. "Alpha Kai..." he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper. kai's gaze was unyielding, his stance imposing. "Release her," he repeated, each word laced with authority. The guards, sensing the shift in power, immediately let go of my arms and stepped back, their heads bowed in respect. My father, still reeling from the shock, stumbled over his words. "I... I didn't realize..." Kai took another step forward, his eyes never leaving my father's. "You didn't realize what? That you were about to violate the sacred bond between mates? That you were treating your daughter like a pawn in your games?" My father bowed his head, his earlier arrogance replaced by fear and submission. "My apologies, Alpha Kai. I didn't know she was your mate." Kai's expression remained cold, his gaze piercing. "Now you know. And you will not touch her again. Do I make myself clear?" My father nodded quickly, his head still bowed, "Yes, Alpha. I understand." As I watched the scene, I couldn't help but gawk at Alpha Kai's body figure from the corners of my eyes. Even though he was obviously going be a jerk to me throughout my stay as his mate, I was sure I'd persevere. The guards who were once holding me roughly were now all standing by the edges of the room shaken with fear. Just as I was about to dwell more in my reverie, I heard footsteps coming in from the direction of the stairs, I turned my gaze over to the figure as I smirked. It was Natasha. She was dressed in a skimpy see through dress that revealed her curves, her hair was also braided in curls. I watched as she stylishly walked over to where I was, her strong lavender scent filling the air announcing her unwelcomed presence. Natasha giggled wryly, "Oh my, Emma, you finally get a mate after all these years." My face twisted to a snarl, Natasha was obviously up to something and I could tell it wasn't good. "What do you want, Natasha?" I asked, my face contoured in anger. I watched as she suddenly licked her lips seductively walking towards Kai where he stood. "Nothing much, I just wanted to wish my stepsister and her mate a wonderful mate hood." I watched as Natasha shook her lustrous hair, her eyes staring into kai's. I could already tell she was trying to seduce him from marking me as his mate. "It's quite shameful to see a weak wolfless omega like my sister get paired up with the likes of a mighty, highly respected alpha like you." Natasha rattled softly, her body just an inch away from Alpha Kai's. She licked her lips seductively saying, "You could always have a change of mind alpha," She ran her fingers in her lustrous blonde hair, staring thirstily at my mate. "Do something!" Aurora growled in me, I couldn't help but feel the soft pull of aurora's fierce anger. I watched with a slight squint, the anger purring in my veins now getting thicker by each passing second of Natasha's luring speech to my mate. She had always made my life miserable, striping me of everything I rightfully deserved. My father, my boyfriend and now my mate— I can't let this happen, I have to do something. "I can help you," Aurora offered from within, "In what way?" I asked sending through the mind link. "All you have to do is give me control over your body and I'll deal with that wh*re!" "And how do I do that?" I sent, hoping it would work out. "All you have to do is to try to seal our connection fully by saying, I give you full control." Aurora mused, I could sense the thirst for revenge in her tone. "I give you full control!" I said out aloud as all of a suddenly I felt a burst in me, sensations sprouting in my ever inch. I could now see things from the eyes of aurora, my wolf, I could see Natasha, talking about my weaknesses and her supposed probabilities of me not being able to be a good Luna to Kai. I watched as my body sauntered off to Natasha faster than I could ever recall, I could feel an unmatched array of confidence in my veins. Natasha was a jerk and she would obviously get treated like one today. "You know I am far better than her, Alpha." I heard her words brush past my ears as I immediately raised my hands and planted a slap on her face. "Don't you have any shame Natasha?" I growled, my voice filled with anger and the fury from all these years finally flowing freely. "Get your lustful eyes off my mate or else-" I dared as she suddenly interrupts, "Or else what." "Else I'll have you punished for disrespecting my mate!" Alpha Kai hollered, his dark velvety voice claiming full silence in the arena. He pulled me closer to him upon his words as I scoffed at Natasha and noticed the glints of anger in her eyes. "I'm sorry Alpha." She murmured softly in defeat bowing her head slightly. "Not to me, apologize clearly to my mate for disrespecting her." "I'm sorry, Emma." She mumbled as I suddenly felt my aurora going back to her form as Alpha Kai turned to me, "Let's leave, Emmaline." I followed him past the crowd of guards as we made our way back to the parking lot where his car was packed. His Beta, whose name I'd finally got to know, Luke, opened the door for me as I entered the car. As I entered into the car, I couldn't help but ponder on my confidence back there in the room with Natasha. I never knew Aurora had the power to take control of my body and help me deal with scumbags like Natasha. I felt relieved, I had gotten all the revenge I wanted from Natasha for all she's done. Alpha Kai entered shortly after me, his presence tucking me out of my chain of thoughts. "And I must commend your wolf's strength at handling the situation." I heard him say as my heart flutters, a smile spreading across my cheeks like a rainbow. "If you're going to be my Luna, you'll need far more than that," he murmured, his voice low and enigmatic. He then turned sharply to Luke. "Let's go."EMMA'S POV The wind rushing in from the car's window flashes by my hair, sending strands into different directions. I didn't care, guess I was too drowned in my own pool of thoughts to do so. Tilting my head to a side, I watched keenly as Alpha Kai got into the car, his vaguely alarming presence gripping me back into reality."If you're going to be my Luna, you're gonna need more than that." His words echoed in my mind, making my heart skip a beat. I had just stood up for myself for the first time in years, and all he could say was that I needed more. Frustration and anger bubbled up inside me as I tucked my hair behind my ears. Why couldn't he see how hard that was for me?I watched the engine roar, a harsh reminder of the new world I was stepping into. I turned back one last time, taking in the hellhole I’d spent my whole life in. And now, finally, I was free.For several years, I've longed the sense of freedom within the four wall of the pack but I never got any. Fleeing was never
EMMA'S POV The silence of the night was shattered by my own heartbeat, pounding loudly in my ears. Every breath felt like a battle as I lay still, my body trembling with a mix of fear and anticipation. The weight of the decision I had made pressed down on me, but the thought of freedom, real freedom, pushed me forward. I closed my eyes and saw his face—sharp, handsome, with a cold, unyielding stare. He was powerful, egocentric, and always in control. My fingers clenched the soft fabric beneath me, grounding me to this moment. There was no turning back now. The distant chatters reeking in from the pack house's tall walls were all enough to seal my doubts. The car launched slowly, a shiver running up my spine as I held my hopes for whatever I would meet inside those walls. The soft metallic tint of lavender fills my nostrils, my head jerking to the realization. Peering through the car's glass, I could already see an entire battalion of men— pack members maybe. Instantly, I felt an
EMMA'S POV "Who is it?" I called out, my voice shaky. With my forehead powdered with sweats, I watched keenly as the door to my new room creaked open, my mind gripping for whatever waited installed for me. A masculine figure pulled in, the lightening in my room lit his face as I exhaled.It was Luke."I didn't mean to startle you, Emma," His voice croaked as he made his way closer to me with a few steps. "Luna Marissa had requested I assign your personal maid to you."My eyebrows furrowed, "Personal maid?" I questioned, shock rolling in my voice. I watched as he turned to the door, "You can come in Madeline."I watched as a feminine silhouette pulled into the room, her body draped in a uniform I guessed was worn by the maids in the pack house. She possessed green bright eyes, her blonde hair pulled up in a tight bun. She looked kind— I guess."Welcome to crimson pack Ma'am Emma, I am Madeline, your person assistant charged with the responsibility for catering for your every needs,"
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
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
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

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.

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
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
