I "You don't belong here. You never will" In the thrilling aftermath of her family and first mate's gruesome murders at the hands of a notorious enemy pack, Xaviera is granted an extraordinary opportunity —a chance to rewrite fate with a second mate. However, this is no ordinary wolf. He is in fact, the enigmatic, fearless, ruthless and insanely gorgeous Ryker Conri Aragon, the formidable Alpha of the Cresent moon pack. But instead of relishing in her new beginning, she's met with Ryker's icy indifference. Chaos however arises, overturning plans and when Xaviera's supposedly dead mate resurfaces, Ryker's icy facade thaws into desperate need for his destined mate and Luna. Torn asunder between conflicting choices, Xaviera must decide: will she return to the only person associated with her past, or will her fierce affection for a man who had spurned her keep her firmly tethered to the Crescent moon pack? The stakes are high as Xaviera navigates through a world of friendship, lust, love, betrayal, heartache and tough choices.

1: THE RED MOON

XAVIERAThis was the calm before the storm. I stood in the gallery, dressed in a red dress, my hands resting on the balustrade, while I watched the throng of bodies move sensually below. It was the Red festival of the Red moon pack, and everyone was in a celebratory mood. From my vantage position, Zee, my elder sister, was giggling like a schoolgirl in the arms of her mate, Luca, while the latter seemed quite satisfied with the woman in his arms. Our father, Alpha Wayne sat on his dignified cushion chair decorated with crystal gems, flanked by the chief Gamma, Sir Adrian and his Beta, Felix. My mother, Luna Anne, stood in the circle of the court ladies, who were also wives of wolves of ranks exchanging hot topics, or as Zee would call it, “Red gist” —over glasses of white wine. My other siblings were scattered around, and about having fun. Every other person appeared all loved up, the goddess had blessed all the werewolves of Red Moon who were of age either with a mate, or their wol...

2: THE RED NIGHT
XAVIERA It was about us. The enemy was out for our blood. Was all that ran through my mind. The discussion from earlier was really about our pack. A loud bang tore through the already chaotic air. People screamed, running out of the hall. “Oh my God!” Collins gasped.“Comport yourself, boy!” Chief Adrian admonished him. To my mother he said; “ follow Sir Kelvin, you'd be taken out of the city through the underground pathway. A van will be waiting to move you all. Move fast and together, I'll go find the Alpha!” Then he turned on his heels in the midst of the chaotic room, and was gone. “I can't find Zee!” Asher shouted, panting as he joined us, another explosion tore through the walls, indenting it with large cracks. The people went helter-skelter, stampeding for safety. “Oh God!” My mother gasped dreadfully “where did she go?!” “She was with Luca” I said, Jordan was beginning to make a fuss, and little Georgia was shaking like a leaf in my mother's arm. We stood in the midst of

CHAPTER THREE
RykerThe Crescent ball ritual began today, and it was responsible for the bad mood I was currently in. I stood before the large mirror in my room, covered in sweat and herbs. A white towel hung low around my waist. The combined smell of Marjoram, dill seeds and some other herbs swayed, circling the air around me, its juices dripped from my head down to my toes.How long was I going to do this shit?Eileen had said it was compulsory I did the herbs ritual again this year, but she never said they intended to bathe me in some ‘herbal’ liquid. The burnt herbs and incense I could take, but being drenched in a mixture of herbs in hopes to attract a non-existent mate, was something I couldn't. Then give them a Luna. Find your mate. I hated the thought of this. Finding a mate when war was right at our doorsteps was nothing but misplaced priority. I knew what was more important. A knock on my door pulled me out of my musings. I turned to the door, just in time to see Caden slide in. He to

4: MISSING SENTINELS AND THE CRESCENT COURT
Six years onALPHA RYKER Becoming Alpha meant several things, including sitting for hours with grim-faced men old enough to be your grandfather, while trying to make sense of how five men mysteriously disappeared from their position of duty, and one returning unalived. We were seated in the spacious Crescent court in the Crescent Villa. The expansive room had a large mahogany rectangular shaped table that was about three hundred metres long. Thirty six elders and wolves of rank sat at each end of the table. I took my place at the top of it, by my right sat Caden, who was now my beta and by my left, Reid sat. Mason, who was supposed to be my second beta under Elder Lowell's advice, sat by Reid, his expression sour for a totally different reason. Tonight, the court had several intermingling reactions, and I could easily pick on the vibes, two of which were most prominent; Anger and fear. Everyone was right in their feelings. They had every right to be angry, five Sentinels missing all

5: HAUNTING OF THE PAST.
XAVIERAFire roared through the night's sky, heating up the cold night. The large house before me spat flames, heavily clothed in thick black smoke. Heart wrenching screams could be heard from the house, filling it and overflowing through every outlet of the burning house. I tried to move, but my legs wouldn't obey. I was stuck—stuck in a way I couldn't decipher. Sweat trickled down my face as I fought to free my legs, loud screams from the house sent slithering chills down my spine.I shook like a leaf under the merciless assault of the wind. “Run! Run! Run!” The voices began to chant “Save yourself!” I was no coward, and I've never backed down on a fight, but I felt my body take up that command. Run! Escape!I tried to, but my legs just wouldn't budge.While I struggled to flee as commanded, a figure emerged from the fire. It was in the form of a man, but his body was covered in an unending black smoke that wrapped around him in large circles, twirling continuously. His eyes blazed

7: TWICE IN SIX YEARS
XAVIERAThe sun radiated brightly above the lush meadow, and the calm breeze swept past us in a warm caress, encouraging the sweet smells of Gardenia flowers Mrs Barnes had planted around her cozy cafe to spread its exhilarating savor around. My hair was loosely wrapped in a messy bun, and I was dressed in a simple round-necked cream chiffon top with flower embroideries on the left breast, and a dark denim skirt and sandals. Somehow I found myself in Moonlit Cafe, with Adeline and Leesa, sharing lunch and unavoidable gossip. “Alpha Ryker is definitely getting a mate this year” Lessa popped, sipping from her glass of rosemary citrus spritzer.“And how do you know that?” Adeline queried between chewing on her burrito. “Erin” Lessa shrugged, placing her cup on the table.Erin was always filling her in on Palace gossip. Thanks to Erin, we knew his mistress didn't eat peas; had a special set of glasswares in the manor, and never ate with anything but those.“And how does Erin know?”“Duh

8: ANOTHER BODY
ALPHA RYKERMy only crime was chivalry. I stared at the large brown stain on my shirt, disliking the feel of the sticky liquid that had clung to my skin. I was having a break, and that woman of hair decided to ruin it. How could she be so careless, running around as though she was being chased? What If no one was there to prevent her fall?She was clumsy, weird and fragile. But, there was something about her though. Her eyes reminded me of emeralds. It wasn't my intention, but I couldn't help but notice everything about her features in that brief encounter. Besides the fact that she was quite beautiful, there was something about her I couldn't really place a finger on. Why did I feel like we've met before? “Calum?” I called on my driver for the day. He was one of the Zetas from Caden's special team. Caden made sure I went out with members of his team if he wasn't with me. Not that he'd ever leave my side without strict orders.“Yes, Alpha” Calum's brown eyes met mine through the rea

9: HISTORY AND THE FOREBODING.
XAVIERAI was still shaken by today's unexpected twist. I had raced to Moonlit, and struggled to steady my racing heart for over five minutes. I took a seat in the staff area, harping on the incident of the past minutes. I couldn't even believe anything. I had met THE ALPHA, I had smelt him, I had felt him, he'd even touched me—I wrapped my hand around my stomach, the thought of his fingers moving over it coming in full technicolor, a shiver ran down my spine. I couldn't even believe how I was reacting to this encounter. But dear God, the man was fucking beautiful. A fucking wonder. It was no wonder Leesa and Adeline fawned on a daily basis. My God!“Xaviera?” Milligan's voice swiftly snatched me from the tapestry of several conflicting emotions. I raised my head to meet his eyes, worry marred his features. “Are you okay?” “I am,” I breathed, standing to my feet. “Okay,” he stared at me doubtfully, “we are about to lock, Boss's orders”“Huh?” I just got here. “What's going on?”“Th

10: AMAR AND ASSAM TEA
ALPHA RYKERThe noise in the council room heightened, hitting a crescendo, and the mild migraine I was feeling earlier intensified. We had met for a meeting two days straight, and after every adjournment, these people had returned with the same request as the day before. Today, we were still talking about the body that was found yesterday. The initial trembling and agitation of yesterday, had gone to bed, and didn't rise with them this morning. Today, they came to declare war.Sometimes, it was difficult sitting with most of these men to have a proper conversation about anything. They were so dominant, they tried to influence every single decision I wanted to make. Out of the three Elders that seemed to have a different thought on everything I wanted to do, Elder Amar spearheaded every opposing opinion and side. It was as though his only function in this council was to oppose and instigate disagreements. I wondered how my father kept him in his council, because I was tempted to strip
