KANE’S POV

I was at the Silver Moon Pack for a leader’s meeting organized by their beta. And right now, I can’t help but feel like I’ve wasted my precious time. The meeting was the same old song and dance, with the alphas complaining about rogues and begging for assistance to deal with the problem. But what they never mentioned was getting help to train their warriors, to empower them to fight the rogues. No, it’s all about getting financial help to rebuild their territories.

It’s almost as if they enjoy having rogues lurking around their lands. I wish I had brought Logan, my beta, with me; he’d know how to divert my thoughts from this monotonous drudgery.

Here in this pack, I can’t go hunting the way I usually do. My idea of hunting means tracking down anything that doesn’t belong and eliminating it.

But here, it’s strictly forbidden. The place where the alpha’s meeting is held is considered neutral ground, and there are rules to be followed on neutral ground. Hunting is a big no-no.

So, here I am, in this bar, surrounded by the overpowering scents of people’s perfumes, the lingering stench of vomit, the thumping music, and the unmistakable aura of lust. But the bourbon is helping, or at least I think it is.

I don’t have a wolf, and I lack the abilities of one. Yes, I belonged to the werewolf kind, but the Goddess decided I was too much of a tyrant to grant me a wolf. It’s as if she doesn’t know what I had to endure growing up to become the person I am today. Many assume I was spoiled because I was the alpha’s son.

Sure, I was spoiled, but I had to prove myself to the world beyond our pack. I couldn’t allow other alphas to think I was weak just because my parents gave me everything I wanted. I needed to show them that I wasn’t just some pampered brat handed a title on a silver platter.

That’s how I became the monster that people say I am today—to prove that I deserved the title and more. But it came at a cost: on my eighteenth birthday, when I was supposed to shift for the first time, I didn’t. Instead, I received a seer’s prophecy, telling my parents and me that the Goddess was far from pleased.

According to her, the Goddess wouldn’t bless me with a wolf until I learned how to love, as if that’s the most crucial thing in the world. The love she wants me to learn is the same love that almost cost me my alpha title.

That love made me vulnerable to the extent that my pack was already conspiring to take control once my father stepped down or passed away. They claimed they wouldn’t be led by a weak alpha, insisting that my weakness would put them in danger.

I was just a kid, and they all expected me to be strong. Well, I showed them I was strong and more. I made myself into who I am today without a wolf by my side. No alpha would dare disrespect me, not to my face or behind my back.

Who needs a wolf to be an alpha or lead their pack? Love won’t make me weak again, just as our Goddess seems to desire. So, to heck with what she wants. Right now, all I crave is a Luna for my pack, someone who’ll give me an heir, and then everything will be perfect. My life will be perfect. I took another sip of my drink, but when I glanced across the room, there she was.

They were long, flowing brown hair legs that seemed to go on forever in gym attire. She must’ve come straight from the training grounds without bothering to change, and those curves of hers? They sat in all the right places, with a backside that had my imagination running wild.

I couldn’t help but stare, and I could tell she felt it. But for some reason, I couldn’t tear my gaze away. It wasn’t just her body that drew me in; it was something else, something elusive that I couldn’t quite pinpoint. I had to find out what it was, and the only way to do that was to get closer to her.

SARA’S POV

The man wouldn’t take his eyes off me, not even after I caught him blatantly staring. He gracefully rose from his seat and began to stride in my direction. Panic welled up inside me, and I desperately wanted to flee this situation, but my feet seemed to have a mind of their own, refusing to budge.

My heart raced in a way it never had before. I needed to get out of here. No man had ever made me feel like this, not even when I first met Alex. Why was I feeling this way now?

He kept getting closer, and I remained frozen in place. What was he doing to me? ‘Rose, if you’re there, I need your help, your strength,’ I silently called to my wolf. But before I could gather my thoughts, the man was right in front of me, standing dangerously close, his face inching closer as if he were about to kiss me.

My heart seemed to stop, and my eyes instinctively closed as I waited anxiously for our lips to touch. I couldn’t explain it, but I craved that connection, perhaps as a distraction, something to help me forget Alex, especially since the drinks weren’t doing much to ease my mind.

However, the anticipated kiss never came. Instead, I felt his warm breath against my ear, and a shiver coursed through me. He whispered, “Have a drink with me when you come back.” Then, he pulled away, his eyes still locked with mine.

Embarrassment washed over me, but that feeling quickly faded as I stared into his piercing eyes. They held no warmth, only the promise of tumultuous emotions and danger. Yet, strangely, I felt no fear.

With a nervous gulp, I nodded in response. “Off you go then,” he said, averting his gaze from me and returning to his table. I stood there for a moment, caught in a daze, before snapping back to reality and rushing to the bathroom.

As I splashed water on my face, I couldn’t help but stare at myself in the mirror. “What are you doing, Sara?” I asked myself.

“Why am I even worried? Alex rejected me, and now I’m single and free to do whatever I want,” I gave myself a pep talk. The stranger’s face appeared in my mind, those cold-looking blue eyes, his strong figure. I couldn’t help but wonder if they’d be warm or cold against mine.

Would they be as soft as they looked? I shook my head, trying to shake off these thoughts. After using the bathroom and washing my hands, I looked at myself in the mirror. “Well, I can’t do better than this. He saw me in gym clothes and still showed interest. How I look doesn’t matter,” I assured myself before leaving the bathroom and returning to the bar, determined to avoid looking in the direction of the intriguing man.

I settled down next to Natasha but couldn’t resist stealing a few glances toward the mysterious man’s table. Who was he? He definitely wasn’t from our pack; I knew everyone here. That man was a stranger, and he didn’t carry the scent of the wolves in this pack. Come to think of it, I didn’t even smell any wolf on him, or did I?

“Earth to Sara!” Natasha yelled, snapping her fingers in front of my face. “Where did you just go?” she asked, and I tore my gaze away from the man’s table to look at my friend.

“I met someone,” I confessed, and Natasha looked at me with a puzzled expression. She asked, “Who?”

I glanced back in the direction I had come from, and there he was, the man making his way toward us. “The one coming our way,” I replied, and Natasha’s eyes widened.

“Sara, no. Do you know who that is?” Natasha asked, her face turning as pale as a sheet. I wondered how she could know this man. “Who is he, and how do you know him? He’s not from here; I know everyone. Is he visiting or something?”

I bombarded my bewildered friend with one question after another. Her reaction made it clear that she didn’t just know the man; she also feared him. So, who was he? Natasha kept opening and closing her mouth like a fish out of water.

“Nat, who is he?” I asked, turning her head to face me. She looked like she had just seen a ghost.

“That’s Alpha Kane, Alex’s uncle!”

I couldn’t stay here any longer.“Then I’ll see you tomorrow,” he said, then walked away.

I understood where Logan was coming from; he was one of the few people in my life who knew who I really was and what I was capable of. It was reasonable for him to warn me about the woman, but how dare he speak to his Alpha like that? Did he think I would have told him or even asked him to draw up a contract if I wanted to do something to the damn woman?“Oh, Sara. You haven’t been in my life for long, and you’re already causing trouble between my Beta and me? You’d better not cause any more trouble once the contract is signed because I won’t stand for it,” I muttered loudly.Now that damned woman was invading my mind as if she owned it. There was only one woman who used to own my mind like Sara was threatening to do now—Jade, the only woman who could bend me to her will.Jade was the one responsible for bringing out the monster in me when she decided to up and leave.

Nat looked exactly like my uncle does right now when she saw the man.“Alright, if you’re leaving with Alpha Kane, then I won’t stop you. But don’t forget where you come from and what this family has done for you all these years.” Now, he sounded like he was asking me not to cause trouble with Alpha Kane.He must think I have more influence over the man than I actually do. But he believes I do, which is why he was allowing me to leave without any trouble.“Oh, Uncle, I’ll remember more than just how you treated me all those years ago. I’ll also remember how I’ve been treated this past year.” He didn’t respond, which was unlike him.As the Alpha, he prided himself on being in control and getting whatever he wanted whenever he wanted. It must have taken every ounce of his self-control not to use his alpha power to intimidate me at that moment.When he remained silent for a

Who in the world could be causing such a ruckus at this ungodly hour? They’d better have a damn good reason, like a fire or an impending attack. If not, that person would not see the sunrise.The pounding continued, causing me to groan in irritation. I rose from my bed and marched to the door, flinging it open with considerable force, causing it to slam against the wall.“What!” I barked the moment the door was open. “Good morning, Alpha,” Logan brushed past me, heading straight for my room. I stood there, watching him, struggling to contain my anger.“Where is she?” Logan’s question hit me like a bolt from the blue. “Where is who?” I walked past him and went to the kitchen, pouring myself a glass of water. “Your mate,” he said. He must have thought I was a wolf like him and the others.When werewolves find their mate,

    KANE’s POVI’m not sure if I’m pissed or insecure about all this. I grabbed Logan by the arm and pulled him into the house. He needs to explain what’s going on here. I needed answers, and I needed them now. I shoved him into the house and closed the door.“What the hell was that?” Logan appeared confused. “It’s her power. She possesses a very powerful alpha power. It’s raw and makes you uncomfortable, and you can’t help but bow to the power,” he responded, almost trembling. I was still confused.Sara has the power, and I can sense it, but it’s not stronger than what I have, yet my Beta never submitted to me. “Explain,” I insisted. He couldn’t just give me vague answers.“I don’t think you’ll understand until you have your wolf,” he sighed.“Not to be disrespectful, Alpha, but this is a wolf thing. Our wolves can sense the alpha powers. As you know, Alpha, Some alpha powers mean nothing to me, and even if an alpha exerts all their power, it won’t affect me if the wolf’s power isn’t stro

That was supposed to be her life, not mine. Mother thinks I did not see how scared she was when Sara mentioned that they planned that damn invasion. I noticed they had a hand in what happened, and that resulted in me living the way I did for years!Only to be discovered by accident by my father and being rescued, and then I found out that they were not even looking for me. They were living their lives with my replacement, and they expected me to accept that. No!Someone must pay for what happened to me. Sara has already gotten away, but my parents are still here. I will make their lives a living hell; I will ruin them like those men ruined me all those years.Da

I hope this will keep her at a distance; I don’t want her any closer to me than necessary.I’ll have Logan investigate the incident from twenty years ago in case something is missing from the files.

Not like the Alex who was happy three days ago when I spoke to him, telling him I’d be at the Silver Moon Pack.
