Alexa"She is mine." Alpha Alastair gritted his teeth."You can't just claim her as your slave," the tall man in front of me shielded me."Fuck off, Romero. You knew nothing."Romero? Was he Alpha Romero Blackmoore from the First Light Pack? What were the odds of two rivals of the strongest pack in the continent sharing the same room? It didn’t matter what they went to the meeting for. It failed in a miserable state.In a flash, Alpha Alastair swung a punch at the man before me. The tall man was quicker and dodged the blow. He then landed a kick to Alpha Alastair’s stomach, forcing him to stumble backward."Go, Brianna!" Mr. Moris barked an order.I fled as far as I could from that hallway. Behind me, I could hear Alpha Alastair roaring in fury. I turned back for a second and saw Mr. Moris delivering a sharp punch to his ribs. The situation escalated as more people gathered to watch the fight."Bree, what’s going on?!" Jo stopped me mid-run, her mouth agape."I had to go."Without fur
AlexaRegardless of the mess, Alpha Romero scooped me up with his hands. I tried to push him away and hide my face, but he only tightened his hands on me.He carried me through the entrance and barked orders to Beta and the guards. All the while, I could only cling on to him with my limp hands. I bit my lips and buried my face in his broad chest."Set up protective shields and tighten security at the first border! Report any movements outside the border to me, no matter how small!"Then he turned to face the servants who rushed up to him. "Prepare clothes, put hot water in the bathtub, and help me clean her up."Why did he sound so panicked right now? What was going on in his head? The answers were unclear because I drifted off more and more.‘I’ve told you. He might be our true mate.’ Mythril sighed."It's okay, Brianna. You're safe now," he whispered.***Through the window’s curtain gap, I could see the brightly gleaming moon in the night sky. The moon was changing from a full to a
AlexaRomero pushed my back onto the bed, reclaimed my lips. He took the initiative to undress. I couldn't help but be impressed by his strong and well-built chest, slender body, and broad shoulders, which seemed ideal for resting my head on. He gasped as my fingertips brushed over his taut nipples, probably found it ticklish, but he didn't reject it. He nibbled and kissed his way down to my chest, left red marks on my flesh that made me shudder. His hands undressed me layer by layer, and his stare concentrated on my already warm thighs. He was attentive, kind, and careful. His tongue and fingers were soft on my clit. In steady rhytm, he brought me to an explosive moan several times, using only his fingers and tongue on my sensitive spot.“Oh, Goddess!” My toes curled on the bedsheet.I was taken aback. Never before had a man shown such patience and devotion to my satisfaction. He didn't even ask for anything in return, and he was completely focused on my pleasure, as if his life de
RomeroI was never a morning person. My wolf preferred to be active at night, for whatever reason. Since fully transforming, I was more like an owl rather than a werewolf.I always woke up at nine or ten o'clock in the morning. Especially today, after a night of wild and passionate pleasure with Brianna, I just woke up at 11, when the sun was already high.When I couldn't find her on the bed next to me, I raised my body with a cry of disappointment. Her nightgown from the night before folded at the side of the bed rather than scattered on the floor."Damn it."Despite feeling disappointed, I tried to think naively positive. I hoped my future Luna was strolling around and exploring her new surroundings in our area. With that optimism in my heart, I went to shower and change into my black suit.After a while, my steps descended the stairs and skipped around the house. I looked for her, but she was nowhere. The disappointment was so in
AlexaAfter walking for some time, my feet hurt. Since passing through the outer magical fog for over two hours, I still hadn’t found a bus stop or public transportation. Although I had come across a few cabins on the edge of the forest, it seemed I was still quite far from the human’s town center.The First Light area and Southern Star were two different cities. The distance was around 50 miles. Walking to Southern Star would have taken roughly fifteen hours and two hours by bus, according to the map app. So, of course, I had to look for the nearest bus stop.Exhausted and drenched in sweat, I moved away from the main road, headed deeper into the forest, and sat by a small river. I sipped some river water and splashed my body in the shallows. The cool sensation flowed over my sweaty body, and I whispered a gratitude to the Moon Goddess.Something piqued my interest as I climbed deeper up the riverbank. The breeze carried the scent of
AlexaDespite my doubts, my stomach was extremely hungry. My wolf's instincts couldn’t pass up the abundant food, especially with the enticing smells of roasted bacon. I followed them to the campfire area and sat in a circle on the grass with them.“What’s your name? My name is Jack,” he said as he sat cross-legged.“Brianna,” I murmured back. Jack then simply nodded.“Give me your hand, so I can see how bad it is.” Harlow extended his hand.“You can’t heal it, not without proper ointment. Besides, it will heal in no time.” I was still skeptical.“I don’t recall you being this noisy.” Harlow rolled his eyes. “Why did your words differ from your wolf’s? She asked for more hugs, but you keep this trust issue facade.”“Oh, so you’re brave, huh? A girl like you? Pretending to be innocent all this time?” Jack laughed to tease me.“No! He’s lying! I never asked for a hug!” My cheeks felt burning, and I was certain they could see how red my face was now.“Really?” Harlow smirked.His stateme
AlexaThe man cocked his weapon again and aimed it at Harlow. A harsh warning and the threat of a gun were terrifying. "Mr. Moris?" My jaw dropped. Though I was relieved to see a familiar face, the rifle he carried was no mere toy. That scared the hell out of me. "Hey, sir. It’s me, Harlow. The guy who escorted her to your club, remember?" "Yes, but now you’ve become a rogue, so don’t touch her," Mr. Moris growled in the same arrogant tone he used earlier when Harlow spoke. "We once had dinner at the same table in your club, don’t you remember that?" Harlow frowned as he studied the middle-aged man. "Yes, I’m the club owner, and it’s my duty to protect all my staff. Bad news, you’re not my employee." Mr. Moris did not lower his tone and remained alert with the gun aimed at Harlow.The dark-haired man stood silent, perhaps weighing something before letting me go. "Alright, alright. I won’t hold you back," Harlow stepped back a few steps, raising his hands to his sides. "Harlow!
Alexa“Return to Silver Moon? Join another pack? Have you lost your mind?”My tone rose, signaling that I completely disagreed with the idea. An idea I would never entertain, not even in my wildest thoughts. I had sworn to myself never to return to Silver Moon or join any other pack.I had even shared this intention with Mr. Moris. He should have known about my desire to be a rogue without a pack. That’s why I was surprised he still brought up such an idea.“It’s the safest option. We don’t know how long Alpha Alastair will keep hunting for you. You obviously can’t stay in the club forever without stepping outside.”“No, no, no. I won’t!” I tightened my grip. “I won’t leave the club at all. If you can do it, so can I.”Hearing my argument, Mr. Moris clicked his tongue in annoyance. “Come on, Brianna. Don’t use me as an example.” He
Harlow‘What?!’ Eldritch was shocked in sync with Alexa’s words through our mind link. ‘Have you gone mad?’Yeah, maybe I was insane. I told the only mate I found, the one I cherished, to accept another man’s proposal.I should have realized it earlier—our statuses were worlds apart. Alexa had always been rumored to become Luna since she was the only woman of pure alpha blood at the right age. Not to mention, everyone in the pack knew about the deep bond between Alexa and Gabriel since childhood.To me, she was off-limits. Even though my heart throb in pain, crushing the last fragment of my feelings, Alexa was his all along. Hell, Alexa even only noticed my existence when I helped her escape from Blood Moon’s prison. And that was only because Alpha Gabriel asked for my help.‘What do you mean, Harlow? Tell me it’s not true that you just told me to accept Gabriel.’ Even though Alexa’s roar echoed in my head, I remained silent. I swallowed, trying to moisten my throat, which turned dry
AlexaMy heart sank upon hearing that threat. My eyes widened, and my breath hitched as I listened to how he planned to kill the people who meant so much to me.‘How dare he!’ Mythril growled in displeasure at my mind.“You can’t do that, Gabriel,” I said, emphasizing his name.I called him by his first name, without the honorific Alpha. Even if it was just a small gesture, I clung to the hope that he would see himself as my childhood friend again—rather than the cold-blooded killer disguised as the Alpha he becomes.I narrowed my eyes at him, but he didn’t flinch. His jaw was tense, and he glared back at me.“Yes, I can. I am the Alpha,” he said, stepping closer to me.Hearing his arrogant words, I scoffed. “If being an Alpha makes you this cruel, you should have failed the test back then.”My words popped his patience. In the next second, he gripped my throat. Without realizing it, I was backed against the window, my head pressing against the glass. My airway was blocked by his fing
Alexa“You ignored me when I was dragged away by the debt collectors. You sent Harlow in to save me alone,” I grumbled.“Why? Were you afraid a single hair on your head would be harmed because of me?” My voice was quick, spoken in one breath.“It’s not like that, Alexa. Alpha Alastair’s defenses were tight. Only Harlow was skilled enough to find a hidden way into Blood Moon Pack territory and sneak in. All the guards would have sounded the alarm if they saw me,” Alpha Gabriel explained in a low voice.“What about yesterday? You spread a bounty across the entire land to capture me. Don’t deny it—I saw the announcement myself.” My index finger lifted in front of his face, stopping him just as he was about to open his mouth.“Alexa, honey, that’s because I’ve been looking for you for the past two years. The Moon Goddess told Mrs. Geeny that I would find you this week if I put in all my effort,” he gave yet another unreasonable excuse.“Don’t honey me! I’m not a bee,” I barked at him.“Fi
AlexaI stood frozen as I watched Lorraine. She was furious with her lips pressed together. Her breath was heavy, and she focused on my reddened eyes.“I knew you were eavesdropping. Shocking, isn’t it?” She threw a document with a hospital discharge form at me.‘Oh wow, we’re screwed.’My lips opened and closed, searching for an excuse to say so she might forgive me. But in reality, no sentence could form to cover up what I had done.“How was it? You must have been laughing at me behind my back.”“No!” I defended myself.“Yes, you did. Isn’t that what you’ve always done?” She narrowed her eyes.“I never...” I shook my head.She scrutinized every corner of my face. Her jaw was still tight, as if holding back anger she couldn’t express. Then, her fingers lifted and twisted a few strands of hair at the side of my
AlexaTwo years ago…I opened my eyes and saw the high white ceiling, the white walls, and the small bed. Ah, I must have been in the hospital. I recognized this room from how often I had been treated here since I was a child.I raised both my hands, and they were back to normal. I forced myself to sit up. My finger clutched the hospital gown that had been put on me. I peeked through it. My brows furrowed, as there were no bruise marks at all. All the scars from training had disappeared.The moonlight waned, reflecting from the gaps in the window. When I glanced at the clock, it was already three in the morning. No, it wasn’t a dream. It had been a week since my dad passed away, but I still couldn’t call on my wolf.Why I couldn’t shift to my wolf's form, just like other kids? Why didn’t I remember any of it? My ritual must have miserably failed.The door to the room opened, making a small cre
Alexa“No!” I cut off her words. “I will leave this place. Go far away from all the prophecies and intrigues that give me nothing but burdens in life. I will meet Mr. Pascoe, straighten out my issues with him, take my family’s wealth, and then leave here.”My voice roared behind my gritted teeth, and my breath hitched. Harlow and Mrs. Geeny froze, staring at me in confusion as if I had gone mad. Or maybe I really had gone mad.“Besides, I have more than one potential Alpha mate, so the girl in the prophecy is clearly not me,” I blurted out.Upon hearing my confession, Harlow’s jaw tightened. I stared at him as if I were making a confession of sin. Ah, damn it. I hadn’t told him anything about having multiple mates.A single tear pooled at the corner of my eye. The heat in my eyes spread to my fingers, creating a pain that seemed to squeeze my heart. My hands clenched at my sides. I searched for the courage to support my next words.“I’m sorry, Harlow. I found other potential mates bes
AlexaMy breath was caught when I heard those words. No, it was not a question full of hesitation thrown by someone who knew nothing. Mrs. Geeny’s words sounded strong and full of conviction, as if it was absolute truth.No one spoke. Harlow just sat frozen in his chair. My jaw dropped, and slowly, I took a breath.“Say it again?”“You are The Supreme Luna.” Once again, Mrs. Geeny said it without hesitation.“How—? Why—?” I held my breath, unable to form a complete question.Her grip was still tight, squeezing my hand. Her gaze even softened with a gleam of fervent hope in her eyes. She got up, went to the bookshelf, took an old-looking book, and sat back in front of me. She opened a marked page.“I’m sure you remembered this book, the ancient heirloom passed down from my ancestors. Inside, there were various spells and instructions for magical rituals. One of them was the prophecy about the Supreme Luna. Only those with magical talent could read it.”She smiled with a flushed face th
Alexa“I had seen it, you know?” I protested.“Yes, but you don’t need to look at it any longer than that,” Harlow muttered in a low voice as he turned my body around to face away from it. “Stay here. I’ll check it out first.”I knew he only wanted to protect me, but he should have known that a few blood spatters wouldn’t shake my resolve. My eyes were used to seeing bloody battles, though I had never seen as much as that corpse had. Still, I obeyed my mate—he might have known better.Something was wrong. The stench grew stronger, making my head dizzy. My stomach churned at the fleeting sight I had caught earlier, as if the image imprinted in my long-term memory. The sound of Harlow’s footsteps echoed through the small cave with its dried-up water channel.“What happened to him, Harlow?” I asked, trying to distract my senses from the scent that was making my heart race.‘Curiosity killed the cat, you know?’ Mythril disagreed with my digging deeper into the discovery of that corpse.‘G
Alexa“Here we are!” Jack exclaimed in excitement behind the wheel of the van.We arrived at the nearest bus stop from the western border area of Silver Moon. To avoid the stricter eastern border guards, we had to take the only safest remaining land route.“Thank you, Jack,” I said with a wide smile.I thanked Jack for being willing to take us with his old Rider van. It took more than six nonstop hours with the Rider from the Rogue settlement to the Silver Moon border.Throughout the journey, Jack kept eating to replenish his energy. He insisted on not switching drivers, arguing that Harlow needed to stay in prime condition to carry me out of the Silver Moon area—just in case. Even though they had a brief argument, Harlow eventually gave in. He let Jack exhaust his energy to take us before the full moon appeared.“Thanks, Jack. Appreciate this,” Harlow said to his friend.“No problem! Come on. Don’t waste more time,” he cheered.Harlow and I got out of the van. We prepared our respect
