Harriet’s POV“Tonight, I will sleep with any he-wolf who can catch my attention.’ ** **As I stepped into the rowdy bar, I took a quick scan of the scene. Packs of werewolves, some with their mates and some without, were enjoying themselves. Amidst the chaos, my attention was drawn to a man sitting in the corner.He held a glass of bourbon in his hand, and I couldn't help but be captivated by his striking features. His tousled waves of dark brown hair perfectly framed his strong jawline and thick eyebrows. The dim lighting in the bar accentuated his tanned skin, adding an air of mystery and allure to his presence.After a while, our eyes met and locked. My heart raced with anticipation as I nervously made my way towards him. When I finally reached his table, I cleared my throat and asked, "So, which Pack do you belong to? And what's your role within the Pack? Do you happen to have a mate?"The guy set down his glass of bourbon on the table and gave me a thorough once-over, like he w
Harriet’s POVI woke up, recalling the insane thing I did last night. I actually paid a rogue to take my virginity. And now, that man is lying next to me on the bed.My heart was racing as I shifted to my side. I held my breath when I realized his long arms were wrapped around my naked body. He was still fast asleep, so I figured it was the perfect opportunity to make my escape.Just as I was about to slip away, his massive arms grabbed hold of my waist. "Ahh!" I gasped, quickly returning to my previous position."Where do you think you're going, my dear master?" he whispered in my ear.My breathing became heavy as I turned to face him, getting lost in his mesmerizing gray eyes. Feeling the heat rise within me, I pushed him away. "Let me go. Our agreement is finished.""I'm not so sure about that. You said you would pay me, but I still haven't received my money. Don't you think it's necessary for you to stick around a little longer before we finalize our deal?" His grip tightened, tra
Lucas’s POVI gazed from a distance at the grand mansion belonging to the Alpha family of Moon Walker Pack.‘Even from here, her scent is captivating,’ my wolf, Isha, remarked.Lost in the aroma that filled the air, I was interrupted by a voice calling out to me."Alpha.”I turned around to find my Beta, Calix, standing behind me.“Haven’t I told you not to address me like that while we’re still in the Moon Walker Pack?” I pointed out.Calix bowed his head and apologized, “I’m sorry, Sir Lucas. It’s difficult to change the way I refer to you. By the way, I’ve prepared the car. Alpha Connor is waiting for you at the restaurant.”"Got it. We'll be there in a bit," I responded, shifting my focus back to the mansion.Calix, not wanting to leave me alone, chimed in, "Alpha, can I ask you something?""Sure, go ahead," I gave him the green light."You met your mate last night. And you two mated. But why did you let her go?" he inquired."She's a half breed," I explained. "She couldn't recogn
Ethan’s POV (Harriet’s Stepbrother)Because our family's business was struggling, I had been working extra hours and hardly ever went home. So, when I finally got the opportunity to step back inside the house, I was really looking forward to spending some time with my stepsister, Harriet.However, Mom asked us to welcome an important guest who turned out to be nothing more than a rogue with no Pack. Nevertheless, he was a potential investor, so I decided to stay put, hoping that I would get a chance to talk to Harriet afterwards."Hello, Mr. Lucas. I'm Amelia, Connor's wife," Mom introduced. She pointed towards me and added, "And this is my son, Ethan."Lucas's intense red eyes locked onto me. I raised an eyebrow and greeted, "Good evening.""Nice to meet you, Mrs. Wonder and Ethan," Lucas replied before shifting his gaze to my sister.And damn. The way he looked at Harriet didn't sit right with me. I was so used to seeing men staring at my stepsister with intense gazes, but his was d
Harriet's POV"Harriet!" Ethan's voice boomed through the garden.I rose from my seat and laid eyes on my stepbrother. His presence was enough to send my body on rattle.His piercing gaze peered downward, lingering on the box that I dropped onto the ground.Despite Ethan's strikingly handsome face, there was a darkness lurking beneath his facade. And right now, in front of our guest Lucas, he couldn't hide his true colors."Good day, Ethan," Lucas greeted with a forced smile."Good?" Ethan sneered, his voice dripping with malice.The exchange between the two lacked any warmth. The garden suddenly fell into an eerie silence, the tension thick in the air. It felt like an eternity before Ethan's voice finally shattered the stillness.Ethan sarcastically remarked, "Well, I can't exactly say that my morning has been 'good' now, can I?"Lucas then explained, "I simply asked Harriet to show me the garden.""We have maids for that purpose," Ethan replied. "Next time, kindly direct your inquir
Harriet's POVIt felt like a surreal dream when Lucas carried me and effortlessly jumped through the rails. We survived unscathed, leaving me questioning just how much strength he has.He didn't even shift in his wolf form when he did it.As Lucas reached the ground, I looked at him with astonishment.'Is he really just a rogue?'"Hold on tight and stay quiet. Tonight, we'll make our escape from this prison," he whispered."That is," I wanted to argue, but I couldn't find the words to refute him.After all, when Lucas described this place as a prison, I couldn't help but agree. It really did feel like a jail to me.As I remained silent, Lucas took action.Silently, he skillfully maneuvered past the guards surrounding the mansion. Before long, we arrived at the gate, where a car was waiting for us."Get in. Be careful," Lucas gently guided me into the backseat of the car. As I got in, I noticed a man sitting in the driver's seat."Good evening, Miss," he greeted.I looked at him and no
Amelia’s Point of ViewI saw my son in his room, his eyes empty, gazing into the distance. I walked over with a smile, like a mother hen checking on her chick."What's on your mind, son?" I asked.Ethan turned to me, looking unhappy. "I'm thinking about the party tomorrow."I raised my eyebrows, staying calm. "And what's bothering you specifically?"Ethan ran his hand through his hair, loosening his tie. "It's my sister's engagement."I couldn't help but smirk to myself. It was about my stepdaughter, just as I had expected."Is Dad really gonna announce my sister's engagement to Alpha Alex in front of all the guests?" Ethan asked, clearly ticked off.I placed my hand on his shoulder, giving him a gentle tap like I was singing him a lullaby. "Ethan."Ethan glanced upwards. A sudden flash of lightning illuminated his face, with ominous clouds looming overhead."Alpha Alex holds the key to our financial security. Your father is just struggling to get by. And Harriet is our way out," I re
Lucas’s Point of View Werewolves know how to stalk their prey. So, when I planted a kiss on Harriet’s hand right in front of everyone, it was like I was staking my claim and warning them all to back off from my mate. He-wolves kept on eyeing my mate as soon as she came.Mr. Lucas. Remember, we have a large audience," Harriet whispered, attempting to loosen her hand from my firm grip. "No problem," I responded. "I'm a newcomer in this Pack and in this country. They'll probably just assume I'm following a tradition from my homeland." "And is that tradition all about seeking attention?" she retorted. "Well, I'll take that as a compliment." I let go of her hand and took a step back. The entire room was abuzz with curiosity about the connection between me and Alpha Alex's fiancée. It was like a captivating soap opera that had everyone's attention fixed on the scene. Just then, Connor, the event's host, made a grand entrance and greeted the guests with a booming voice. "Good evening,
