Chapter 1

Chapter 1

I stood in front of my mirror, adjusting the sleek black dress that I’d picked out after trying on at least six others. It wasn't really my thing to attend this kind of grand party. After all, I am not the type of person who likes this luxurious event. I would rather lay on my bed, wearing sweatshirts, and watch a movie.

I sigh.

Tonight’s charity gala wasn’t something I was looking forward to, but it came with the territory of my job. Why does she have to get sick at this time? Why? I wanted to smack my friend's head for getting sick at times like this, but what would it do?

I sighed, smoothing a stray lock of auburn hair behind my ear. These events always felt like a chore—a room full of people pretending to care about each other while secretly calculating how they could get ahead.

I really hate this. Just now I feel so tired; I haven't been to that party yet.

“Alright, Aliyah, let’s get this over with,” I muttered to myself as I grabbed my clutch and headed out the door.

There is nothing I can do, even if I complain. Antonette is sick, and she always attends this kind of thing. Usually, I'm always put in formal meetings because that's what I want. Because everyone knows that I don't like luxurious parties, they never put me in this kind of event. When I arrived, I was immediately amazed. I'm not amazed because I've only seen something like this, but how magnificent it is.

The venue was every bit as grand as I’d expected, with crystal chandeliers, expensive champagne, and people dressed to impress. I slipped into work mode, offering polite smiles and firm handshakes as I made my way through the crowd.

Of course, they know me. It's not because I don't go to this kind of party; I'm not known anymore. Well, they knew me because I am one of those hard people to deal with when having business talks. Those honest business people liked me, but those who don't wish they had never met me. Because I'm not defeating them. They thought I didn't know anything.

These events were about networking, making connections that would push my career forward, and also about the company I work for. I am an executive, so this is normal for me. But tonight, I couldn’t shake the feeling of exhaustion that had been creeping up on me all week. Maybe it was just one too many late nights at the office.

If only I could go home immediately, I couldn't.

“Aliyah, over here! ”Marianne’s voice rang out above the hum of conversation. I spotted her waving at me from across the room. Finally, I also know a lady that I agree with. I've been looking for this woman for a while, but I just found her now.

I pasted on a smile and made my way over, already preparing for a night of small talk. This kind of event is boring to me, so I really need someone to talk to.

As Marianne chattered on about the latest office gossip, I let my eyes wander. There is nothing new in the gossip that Marianne tells me. I knew about it, but I couldn't confirm it. Now that Marrianne is telling me that one by one, it's confirmed. After all, Marianne is the type of lady who won't tell a lie. But it will spit the turth.

While looking around, that’s when I saw him—Logan Pierce. The name was familiar, of course. He was one of those tech billionaires who seemed to have it all: money, power, and the works. But seeing him in person was different. He is different from the ones I see on television, magazines, news papers, and even the internet. He had this presence that was hard to ignore, even from across the room. He was surrounded by people, yet he looked detached, almost like he wasn’t really there.

I should’ve looked away; I should’ve focused on the conversation I was barely part of, but something about him caught my attention. Maybe it was the way he stood—confident but somehow weary. Or maybe it was just that he was different from the usual crowd of self-important executives I was used to dealing with. Either way, I told myself it didn’t matter. I had enough on my plate without adding someone like Logan Pierce to the mix.

I don't want to have more problems. It's okay that after the party, I'll leave and rest in my condo instead of dealing with other problems.

But, of course, fate had other plans.

So sometimes I get really annoyed with fate. It's like fate doesn't want to silence my world.

“Aliyah Whitmore,” a voice said from behind me, smooth and authoritative. Shit. I turned and found myself face-to-face with Logan Pierce. Up close, he was even more striking. His eyes were dark and intense, and they seemed to see right through me. Why is this man here right now in front of me? “I’ve heard about you,” he continued, and there was something in his tone—like he was testing me.

“Likewise,” I replied, keeping my voice steady. Who will not hear news about this man? He is the content of news outlets almost every day. He even beat actors and other people in the entertainment industry. “Though I doubt we travel in the same circles.”

That's right, we're not in the same circle. So, please, get your ass out in front of me.

“Maybe not,” he said, a small, almost teasing smile on his lips. “But your name has come up quite a bit lately. You’ve made an impression.”

I raised an eyebrow, not sure what he was getting at. “Is that so? I wasn’t aware I was on your radar.”

He shrugged, still smiling, but there was something guarded in his eyes. “I’m curious about people who stand out. And you do, Ms. Whitmore.”

I wasn’t sure if that was supposed to be a compliment or something else. “I’m not easily impressed by names, Mr. Pierce. I prefer actions to words.”

His smile faded slightly, replaced by a more serious expression. “Then I guess I’ll have to show you what I can do.”

Before I could respond, someone called his name, and he glanced over his shoulder. His attention was pulled away. He looked back at me for a moment, his eyes lingering like he wanted to say more, but then he nodded and walked off.

The really rich, what? There is no respect at all. I just left suddenly and didn't say goodbye. He was the first to come. Oh my gosh, I'm getting annoyed.

I watched him disappear into the crowd, feeling a mix of curiosity and caution. There was something about Logan Pierce that felt like trouble—the kind of trouble I’d learned to avoid. But as much as I wanted to shrug it off, I couldn’t shake the feeling that this wasn’t the last time our paths would cross. Whether I liked it or not, something told me that Logan Pierce was going to be a part of my life, one way or another.

Three years had passed since my mother had left me alone in the quite town of Silverwood. Every year I had secretly prayed to the moon goddess for her return. But this year I was turning eighteen, I was much wiser now to understand she wasn’t coming back for me.Running through the forest has always had an effect on my body I couldn’t just explain how it made me feel. Free! was the closest words I can think of. I can feel it in the air, the fresh smell of forest had a way of relaxing every muscles in her body, memories of I and my mother running through the woods laughing and playing were still in my head. I stopped running and my claws start to abruptly dig into the soil beneath, I was drawing the strange pattern I can’t seem to remember where I had seen it again.

Chapter 2
Avery's POVMy eyes swung open and the unfamiliar environment I was in became apparent and a sinking feeling settled in my stomach. Panic surged through my body as I realized I was in Lucien's bed. Thoughts of the previous night flooded my head and I couldn't believe he took advantage of me. I felt sore all over my body as I forced myself to sit up and I realized I was fully dressed again. I made attempt to get out of bed and just then, Lucien emerged from his dressing room, fully dressed. He was adjusting the sleeves of his white shirt when his gaze met mine and his expression was a mix of disgust and annoyance."What are you still doing here?" His voice zipped through the air, stern and unwelcoming. I could tell I had to leave immediately since he was already chasing me out of the room, not talking about the fact that he just defiled me. As I pushed myself out of bed, I looked up at him. "Lord Lucien…. ""I said get out Avery." He scowled and I felt a wave of humiliation wash ov

Chapter 3
Devon's POVI raced through the heart of the dense woods, the sound of my feet pounding against the ground as I ran filled my ears. The cool breeze in my fur made me feel at peace than I've felt these past few days I decided to leave my car behind and give my wolf the exercise it craved before continuing towards the pack house. The rhythmic thud of my footsteps echoed in the darkness, a primal connection to the wilderness. I could smell the fresh scent of a river not far away and it would be nice for a dip. I increased my speed and in a few seconds, I got to the river before shifting to my human form, stretching gently. I walked into the water, dipping into it and I was welcomed by the soothing embrace of it and it calmed my nerves. The calmness was interrupted by a mysterious energy I haven't felt before. The mysterious energy enveloped the air as I stood in the water. I looked towards the direction the energy was coming from and just then, my eyes connected with a glowing green

Devon's POVI carried Avery in my arms as I took her with me into my room and headed straight to the bathroom. "My Lord, please…""Shhhh." I said gently as I placed her on the marble counter in the bathroom as I looked around for the first aid kit. "I didn't expect them to be so cruel here in Silverwood."I placed the first aid box beside her and took her hand which she tried to pull away but I held her tightly. "I can't let you do this my lord. I'm just a servant here and it is nothing you should worry about." She said with sincerity and fear in her voice."You could be more than that." I said as I brushed the strand of hair from her face and she looked at me confused. "What do you mean by that, my lord?" She asked but I didn't say anything. I just took her hand and applied the ointments I found there to her wound. I wondered why she hadn't been healed by now but her healing process seems to be really slow. "You just got your wolf." I said to her and she nodded in affirmation, sti

Chapter 5
Avery 's POVI rushed out of Alpha Devon's room with my face burning. I had this weird flip in my stomach and I remembered having it the time I was excited that Lucien was my mate. I didn't know what Alpha Devon meant that I could be more than what I am now but it made me curious about what he actually meant by that. I walked out of the hallway leading to his room and met Lucien sitting in the main hall with Stella in his arms as they chuckled while watching the TV.I quietly tried to sneak away but Stella saw me. "Oohh, she is finally out. Now feeling like she is someone special because an Alpha took notice of her." Stella stood up and Lucien threw me a dirty glance from where he sat."No I am not…" "Don't you dare talk while I'm talking." Stella thundered as her hand landed on my face again. "I have the power to destroy you in an instant.""Why are you doing this to me?" I asked with tears forming in my eyes and she threw her head back in laughter as she looked down at Lucien."S

Chapter 6
Avery's POVEveryone turned to look at Alpha walking in through the door and everyone in the room bowed, which made me hurriedly stand up and bow my head too."What is going on here?" He asked as he walked towards us. "Alpha Devon , you are here already.""Good evening Alpha." Alpha Devon said and I used that opportunity to slip away from them. I don't know exactly what was going on but it seemed extra.I couldn't believe both Alpha Devon and Lucien were about to rip each other's throats out because of me.After the whole building was quiet, I slipped out of the house and walked back to the river where I had seen Alpha Devon earlier tonight. I never thought he was the one once and I just ran from the place to avoid being seen out of the pack house.I walked over to the river and sat at the edge, taking a deep breath. I suddenly felt this heaviness in my chest and I couldn't help but burst into tears. I have been told in times like these, your wolf would always be there to comfort y

Chapter 7
Avery's POVThe stinging feeling of a slap landed on my cheeks and I fell to the ground. I didn't know how to react after he slapped me. I didn't know if I should cry or just keep quiet."So you started disobeying orders and sneaking out with him right? Well, well done Avery. Cheapen yourself and make just anyone take you out when you have a mate." He said with a scorn and I scoffed, looking up at him."I don't have a mate, you rejected me, remember?" I said and he looked down at me in disbelief. "I don't understand why you are treating me like this. Let's just return to before you ever knew I was your mate. I was invisible to you and you were to me. I'm begging you." I pleaded with tears rolling down my cheeks.I didn't understand why he wasn't acting like this at all. If he wants me or wants to claim I am his mate when he sees me with another man, then he should have just accepted the mate bond.A devilish smirk appeared on his lips as he squatted before me and grabbed my chin harsh

Chapter 8
Devon 's POVAnger was all I felt throughout my stay here in Silverwood pack. For two days, I haven't seen Avery and Lucien refused to say anything about her."I don't see why you are interested in my servant Alpha Devon . You can have anyone in the pack except her and Stella." Lucien said and I scoffed."You have to choose one, Lucien . It is either her or Stella. But I will advise you to stick with Stella because I want Avery and there is nothing you can do about that." I said to him and he laughed mockingly."There is nothing I can do? Look around Devon . You are in my pack and any stupid action from you can cost you your life and alliance with this pack. You know you need as much as you can find because you're just stepping on that throne." He said with a small smile and what he said did make sense. "So think twice before you cross me, Alpha Devon ."After saying that, he turned and let me there, standing, enraged. I walked back to my room and Caleb could feel my anger when he s

Chapter 9
Avery's povAfter few hours, we finally arrived at Devon's pack. It was not as large as silver wood but it was quaint and homely." I hope I made the right decision" I pondered internally and sighed." Come " I snapped out of my daydream after Devon called out to me. I placed my hands in his as he lead us into the pack house." Welcome Alpha" a middle age woman greeted curtseyimg gently."Anna , this is Avery, can you please show her to the room after mine"? Anna looked up at Devon in shock and confusion." Your quarters ,Alpha"? She asked taken aback." Yes Anna, I'm sure you heard me the first time"." Come with me " she says, looking towards me. I followed her with my little duffel bag like an headless chicken. We arrived at the last floor, which had three bedrooms." This is your bedroom, the last one down the hall is Alpha Devon's, don't trespass"! She warned lightly.We stepped into the bedroom assigned to me and I gasped out loud. It was large with huge windows on either side.
