Guinevere’s POV

The Rituals had been done under the moon, blessed by the moon goddess herself. I had become one with my mate, my one and only love, Hayden Perez.

“I love you,” I whispered to him, my voice barely audible over the night’s gentle breeze. “And I can’t wait to spend forever with you.”

STOP!!!

Someone yelled from the back I turned my eyes widened as I saw Hayden standing there.

“What the hell” I muttered.

If Hayden was there, then who was the man standing in front of me? Slowly, deliberately, he pulled off his mask, revealing a sinister smile that sent a shiver down my spine. A collective gasp erupted from the crowd, their murmurs filled with fear and confusion. My blood turned to ice as I locked eyes with the man’s cold, piercing blue gaze.

No

It couldn’t be. I had just been mated to the most Heartless and Dangerous Rogue

Reagan Keon

****

I felt his soft breaths on my cheeks as he snuggled closer, the gentle rising and falling of his chest, a steady rhythm that matched the beat of my heart. I couldn’t help the smile that tugged at my lips. Today was a special day, a day that had been planned for ages, a day that would be recorded in history as the greatest day ever—a day like no other.

Today marked the unification of two great packs, the Crimson Howl Pack and the Moon Claw Pack. But most importantly, it was the day I would marry the love of my life, Hayden Perez, my mate and the heir to the Alpha of the Moon Claw Pack.

“Morning, my love,” I whispered, my voice barely louder than the soft rustle of leaves outside our window.

Hayden growled playfully, his hands finding my waist as he pulled me even closer. “Five more minutes,” he murmured, his voice husky with sleep.

I chuckled softly, feeling his strong arms tighten around me. "As much as I'd love to stay in bed with you all day, we have a wedding to plan," I said, my voice tinged with both amusement and excitement.

He groaned softly, burying his face into the crook of my neck. "What if we just eloped? Skip all the chaos and keep you all to myself?" he murmured, his lips brushing against my skin, sending a shiver down my spine.

I laughed, gently prying myself from his embrace and turning to face him. His sleepy eyes met mine, a mix of love and playful defiance. "You know we can't do that. Today is too important—for us and for our packs. Besides, I want everyone to see just how perfect we are together."

Hayden sighed dramatically, but his eyes twinkled with amusement. "Fine, fine. For you, I’ll endure the madness."

I leaned in, pressing a tender kiss to his lips. "Thank you, my love. Now, let's get up.” I said my hands grabbing his as I lifted him up. Together we dressed heading out.

As I walked into the Crimson Howl House, I was greeted by a whirlwind of activity. Everywhere I looked, pack members were busy with last-minute preparations. Some were stringing up twinkling lights and colorful banners, while others were meticulously arranging fresh flowers or setting up tables draped in elegant cloths. The air was filled with a mix of laughter, chatter, and the occasional bark of orders, creating a vibrant and bustling atmosphere.

“There you are,” Shayla, my cousin, said as she walked up to me, her eyes wide with urgency. “Why have you been hiding? Luna Brea has been looking for you, and heads up, she’s mad.”

“Thanks,” I said with a smile, trying to steady my nerves as I made my way into the main room.

“Guinevere Andre Reed!”

Yikes. She must be very mad. She only called me by my full name when she was extremely pissed.

“Hi, Mum,” I said, trying to sound as innocent as possible.

“Don’t ‘Hi’ me! You were supposed to be here three hours ago,” she scolded, her eyes narrowing in disapproval.

“Something came up,” I replied, struggling to keep my voice steady. Well, technically not something, but someone—Hayden. There was no way I was going to tell her we were having amazing sex all through the night and barely got any sleep, so we slept in a few extra hours this morning.

“More important than your wedding?” she retorted, her brows shooting up in disbelief.

“Come on, honey, give her some slack,” my father, Alpha Geoffrey, said as he walked up to me and kissed the top of my head.

“Hi, Dad,” I said, smiling up at him.

“Hey, baby girl,” he replied, his voice warm and reassuring. He gave my shoulder a gentle squeeze, his eyes twinkling with amusement.

“You keep encouraging this,” my mother said, gently swatting my dad’s chest with a look of mild exasperation.

“Oh, am I?” he replied with a mischievous grin. “Then should I tell her about our mating ceremony?”

My mother’s cheeks flushed a deep crimson, and she quickly pushed my father towards the door, flustered and embarrassed. “You should leave. We need to get her dressed,” she said, her voice hurried as she practically shoved him out of the room.

My father chuckled, his laughter echoing down the hall as he left. “Alright, alright, I’m going. He said as he walked out.

Now alone with my mother, I turned to her, curiosity piqued. “Okay, now I’m curious,” I said, trying to imagine the tale my father had hinted at.

“Dress now,” she commanded, her tone leaving no room for argument. As she tried to hide her flustered face.

As I stepped towards the ornate dressing screen in the corner of the room, a group of pack members entered, carrying my wedding dress. The dress was a masterpiece of intricate lace and flowing silk, with delicate embroidery that caught the light and shimmered like dew in the morning sun. The sight of it took my breath away, a tangible reminder of the significance of the day.

My mother’s hands were steady and gentle as she helped me into the gown. Her earlier irritation melted away, replaced by a soft, loving smile. “You look beautiful, Guinevere,” she said, her voice thick with emotion. “Just like I always imagined you would on your wedding day.”

I glanced at myself in the mirror, the dress fitting me perfectly, the lace and silk hugging my curves and flowing gracefully to the floor. My heart swelled with a mix of excitement and nervousness. “Thanks, mum,” I whispered, meeting her eyes in the reflection

I love you,”

“I love you too,” she replied, her voice warm and reassuring.

Everything was perfect, and set for the big ceremony but there was one issue.

Where the hell was Hayden?

    Guinevere POVI would say my love for Hayden was love at first sight. Being both Alpha’s children and heirs, there was a connection I felt the moment we first met, and I knew he was the one for me. Growing up together, there was always a comparison between us; being children of such great Alphas, we were given a responsibility that no other kids had experienced. Whenever I felt down, Hayden was there—he was like a light in a tunnel, a happy place to go where I never felt lost. He never judged me and saw me for who I am.I could never forget the day I was chosen to be his Mate. I couldn’t express the feeling I felt. It was as if the moon goddess was rooting for me by giving me the best mate. And now we get to spend forever together.“You look so beautiful,” Shayla exclaimed, entering the room with my sister Abagail in tow.“You’re okay,” Gail added with a shudder, her unique way of expressing admiration. I couldn’t help but smile at her familiar teasing.“Thanks, Gail,” I replied with

My father roared, pacing back and forth, his anger palpable."Geoffrey, calm down," my mother urged, her voice soothing yet firm. "The ceremony has been performed; there's nothing we can do now.""No," I interjected, my voice trembling with a mix of anger and desperation. How could she even say that? "I'm going to reject him.

"It's not that simple, especially after the ceremony has taken place."I ignored her, turning instead to Grandmother Lana, a flicker of hope in my eyes. "There is a way, right?" I pleaded.She sighed deeply, the weight of her years and wisdom evident. "The ceremony has

    Reagan's POVI stared at the ceiling, her soft breathing filling the room. A gentle reminder of her presence. I turned to look at her, curled up on the couch. How could she sleep so peacefully on that small, uncomfortable piece of furniture? The couch seemed to barely contain her, yet she looked serene as if it were the most comfortable place in the world.Whatever.I laid back down, pulled the blanket up to my chest, and shut my eyes, willing myself to sleep. The events of the day replayed in my mind, each moment making it harder to find rest.Damn it.My eyes snapped open, staring at the dark ceiling once more.EarlierI watched as she looked away from my gaze, giving me space as if she were afraid I might contaminate her. I pulled off my shirt, feeling her eyes on me. She tried to look away, but her gaze slowly ran over my exposed chest, lingering on the large, jagged scar on my chest."Are you done staring?" I asked with a smirk, breaking the tense silence.She cleared her throat,

    Guinevere's POV I tossed around slowly, pulling up the blanket and tucking myself into it. The bed was soft, the covers warm. With everything that had happened, it was nice to finally enjoy a restful night in such a comfortable bed. Wait... bed? Snapping my eyes open, I sat up and looked around. I was in my bed, but the last thing I remembered was falling asleep on the couch. I stared at the couch, piecing it together, and then it hit me. Reagan. With a sigh, I got down from the bed. Today was going to be a good day. It was the day Reagan would stand before everyone to see if the Alpha ring would accept him as the true Alpha. I couldn't help but smirk at the thought of his embarrassed face when the ring rejected him and Hayden claimed his rightful title as the true Alpha—and I, his true Luna. My smile widened. God, if only time could move ten times faster. Glancing around the empty room, I made sure there was no sight of Reagan. Satisfied he wasn't around, I pulled off my c

Forgive those who hurt you and live your life happily.My mother's words echoed in my mind as I stared down from the balcony, looking at them.I'm sorry, Mother. But I cannot be nice. I can't be kind. And I will never forgive those who have hurt me.My hands clenched as the memories surged—the sound of her desperate cries, the sight of blood pouring from her mouth, and most especially, the way she still looked at my father with love even as she died in his hands.Never.I will never forgive.The scene below seemed distant, almost surreal, as I remembered her final moments. The anguish in her eyes, the helplessness I felt, and the betrayal of a man who should have protected her. My heart hardened, the smirk tugging at my lips fueled by a mix of anger and resolve. I leaned in, watching the drama unfold with a detached curiosity.Andrea was there, clearly hurt by the sight of her beloved Hayden wrapped in Shayla's arms. If only she knew what

    Guinevere's POV “Why don’t we say our wishes?” Reagan said, stopping me just as I was about to leave the room. “What?” I turned back to face him, confusion flickering in my eyes. “Remember the bet we made. Tell me what you want me to do if I lose.” I took a step closer, staring directly into his eyes. “If the ring rejects you, I need you to surrender peacefully and apologize to Hayden in front of everyone.” Reagan nodded solemnly. “Deal.” “Now it’s my turn. If the ring accepts me as the true alpha, you must be loyal to me no matter what happens. You must always be on my side,” he declared, his voice steady and resolute. “Okay,” I said, barely concealing my disbelief. I had no intention of taking his words seriously. The ring would never accept a traitor like him. “Is that all?” I asked, arching an eyebrow. He smiled, taking another step closer. “You see, I have a little trust issue.” I couldn’t help but scoff. “I’m pretty sure I’m the one who should be saying that.” “I’m a

The hall erupted with the sounds of werewolves howling, their voices echoing off the stone walls in a symphony of triumph. I looked out at the crowd, my eyes seeking her. Amidst the sea of faces, she stood out, her expression a mixture of shock and disbelief. A smirk tugged at my lips despite the searing pain from the poison coursing through my veins. The ball is in your court, Andrea. What are you going to do? She stared at me, and the moment our eyes locked, she must have seen the flicker of agony I couldn’t completely hide. Determination replaced her shock as she walked towards me, her steps purposeful and unwavering. It was as if time slowed, the noise and movement around us fading into the background. She was the only thing that mattered. Without hesitation, she pulled me in for a kiss. The hall fell silent, the collective gasps and murmurs of the c

    Guienevere's POVThis is insane, I thought as I paced the length of my room, the anxiety clawing at my chest like an unrelenting beast. How could everything be so calm? How could Reagan act as if his life wasn’t hanging by a thread? His nonchalance wasn’t just infuriating; it was maddening. Something wasn’t right. I felt it deep in my bones, an unshakable sense of dread that wouldn’t let me rest. If Reagan wasn’t going to take this seriously, then I had no choice but to take matters into my own hands. Without a second thought, I grabbed my coat and made my way to the Crescent Howl Pack. The journey felt both agonizingly long and painfully brief as my mind raced with all the possibilities. By the time I arrived, the sight of the familiar estate brought a wave of mixed emotions—relief, fear, and a touch of nostalgia. As I stepped into the pack house, my sister Gail ran up to me, wrapping me in a tight, almost suffocating hug. “Woah,” I said with a laugh, “didn’t know I was misse

His hands, warm and strong, cupped my face with such tenderness that it made my knees weak."Andréa," he whispered, my name rolling off his lips like a prayer.We were so close that I could feel his breath against my skin, warm and intoxicating. My pulse quickened, each beat urging him to close the distance between us.He leaned in, his lips brushing mine with a featherlight touch before capturing them fully. His kiss was gentle at first, a soft press that made my stomach flutter. A groan slipped from my lips—one I couldn’t hold back even if I tried. I had waited so long for this moment, for the feel of his lips on mine.“I’ve waited for you to say this,” he murmured against my lips, his voice low and rough with emotion.I couldn’t

"I’ll leave you two to it," he said, stepping past her and out the door.The door clicked shut behind him, leaving the room unnervingly silent."How did it go with the elders?" I asked, my voice steady, though my stomach churned with worry. I crossed my arms and leaned against the doorway, watching him as he sat at his desk, his jaw tight and his hands clasped in front of him."Good, I think," Reagan said, his tone clipped, avoiding my gaze."Did you tell them about the meeting?"He stilled, the air growing heavy before he replied, "No."The single word hit me like a punch to the gut. My brows furrowed as I straightened. "What?! W...why?"He finally looked at me, his eyes dark and unyielding. "Because I don’t feel comfortable discussing confidential matters with them. What happened at that meeting stays between my pack and me."I stepped closer, my voice rising in frustration. "But if you don’t tell t

    Reagan’s POVI stepped into the town hall, my boots clicking against the polished wooden floor as the oppressive silence greeted me. The elders sat in a semi-circle, their expressions varying from stern to outright disdain. It was clear they weren’t thrilled by my presence."You’re late," one of the elders snapped, his tone sharp and accusing.I gave a small, apologetic smile that didn’t reach my eyes. "Apologies, but as you’re all aware, I have a pack to lead. Unlike some, I don’t have the luxury of free time."One of the younger elders, his face turning red with fury, looked ready to explode. But before he could, Elder Nicholas, the eldest of them all, placed a calming hand on his shoulder. His silver hair gleamed in the dim light, and his piercing eyes fixed on me, unamused but measured.I smirked, enjoying the tension, and strode to the chair in the center of the room. The scraping sound of the chair as I pulled it back echoed like a challenge. I sat down leisurely, crossing my le

His green eyes—usually so sharp and filled with fire—now stared at me with a mix of confusion and devastation."What did you just say?" His voice cracked, low and unsteady, as he took a step back."Reagan..." I started, my voice trembling, but the words stuck in my throat like barbed wire."You didn’t do it, right?" he asked, his tone rising, demanding answers. His eyes searched mine desperately, but I couldn’t meet his gaze.I remained quiet, guilt clawing at me like a beast inside. The silence only stretched, suffocating

My eyelids fluttered as I stirred, the ache in my muscles a dull reminder of something I couldn’t yet recall. Slowly, I opened my eyes, the hazy outlines of the room coming into focus.“Ugh…” I groaned, my voice hoarse, my throat dry as sandpaper.“Don’t move too much,” a calm, familiar voice said, laced with concern.I turned my head slightly, wincing as the motion sent a sharp pang through my body. Grandmother Lana stood beside me, her soft gray hair framing a face lined with wisdom and worry. She reached out, her touch steadying me as my body shifted.“Grandmother Lana?” I rasped, blinking hard to focus on her face.“You’re awake,” she said with a small, relieved smile. “But don’t strain yourself just yet.”I tried to sit up, but a sudden weight held me back. My gaze dropped, and my heart sank when I saw the thick, silver chains binding my wrists and ankles. The cold metal

    Guinevere's POVAs Hayden’s lips crashed against mine, there was a rush of heat, but something about it felt… off.For days, I had replayed this moment in my mind, imagining how it would feel to have him hold me again, to kiss me with the passion I’d longed for. But now that it was happening, something inside me felt hollow.Why?I tried to push the question aside, to drown out the nagging voice in the back of my mind. Was it because I was furious with Reagan for breaking his promise? No. Deep down, I knew it wasn’t that. The truth was buried somewhere darker, somewhere I refused to explore.“I love Hayden,” I told myself, gripping his shirt tighter. “And I’ll love him alone.”Breaking the kiss for a moment, I looked up into his warm, hazel eyes. His lips were slightly parted, and his breath came in short, shallow bursts. He studied me with an intensity that made my heart ache, as if he could see the war raging inside me.“Let’s get out of here,” I whispered, my voice trembling but fi

But here I was, standing in the hallway, my patience wearing thin as several pack members stood like stone walls, blocking me from entering his room.“What’s going on?” I demanded, my heels clicking against the polished floor as I strode toward one of them. My voice was firm, laced with irritation.The guard, a tall and broad man with an apologetic expression, stood his ground. “I’m sorry, Luna, but Alpha Reagan instructed that no one enters.”I let out a sharp snort, crossing my arms. “Move. Now,” I said, my tone cold as ice. My gaze locked with his, unyielding.He stood still, unwavering in his spot.My patience snapped. “I swear to God, if you don’t step aside, you’ll lose the privilege of using those legs of yours,” I growled, my voice low and dangerous.His jaw tightened, but he didn’t budge. “I’m sorry, Luna,” he said, his voice steady but filled with regret. “I can’t disobey the Alpha’s orders.”I sighed, r

If this continues, it could spiral into something much bigger. Packs are already uneasy, whispering about hunters or..." She trailed off, her words catching in her throat. Her lips pressed together, as if she was holding back the very thing I didn’t want to hear. I narrowed my eyes at her hesitation. "They think it’s me," I said, finishing the sentence she didn’t dare to. Her shoulders sagged, and she let out a heavy sigh. "And that’s why we’re going to find whoever this asshole is.
