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
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“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
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
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
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
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
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
Alexa“Leave me alone,” I said to the bridal makeup artists.At my command, the two maids bowed respectfully to me before stepping out of the women’s dressing room. I stared at my reflection in the mirror. An orphan who now lived alone, forced to depend on my jerk fiancé.My brown hair was styled in a high updo with small curls framing my face. The ivory-white off-shoulder gown I wore was indeed beautiful and luxurious. Crystals and pearls adorned the satin fabric, reflecting every spectrum of light that touched it. Under the spotlight, I shimmered in the embrace of diamond jewelry decorating my neck, ears, wrists, and hair.But none of it meant anything to me. I was merely going to be Gabriel’s slave, never tasting the freedom I had dreamed of with Harlow. I thought I would be happy if I gained the strength of a great wolf, no longer weak, no longer mocked by others. Wasn’t that what I wanted?In reality, I would be used by others to plea
AlexaI was awakened by the chilling silence. As I blinked my eyes, I saw the neon clock on the club wall showing three in the morning. I looked around and only found Harlow and Romero faithfully accompanying me. The rest were people still fast asleep in the darkness.“Harlow,” I called.He woke up with a smile and a soft groan. “Hey, Alexa.”“Where are the others?” I asked.Harlow sat up beside me. We looked around and only found Romero next to me.“We should change our clothes first before looking for the others.” Harlow stood up and twisted his body to the right and left with a soft, cracking sound. He shook Romero’s body until he woke up.“Hey,” Romero blinked his eyes and propped himself up on the bed with both hands. He let out a loud, long groan as he stretched his body. He exhaled deeply with some bewildered stares.“Let’s go home,” Harlow said to Romero.After changing properly, I stepped out of the bat
AlexaPassion was getting unbearable and out of control. All the tantalizing pleasures gripped me hard. Each of the men who claimed to be my mate now showed their true selves. They exposed their fragile selves. I never imagined doing this in front of many pairs of watching eyes.Both my hands were busy massaging the cock lightly. With the lube poured into my hand by Alastair, mixed with their pre-cum, I lubricated the stiffening cock in my hand. Harlow and Alastair got pleasure from my hands and lips.Behind me, Lorraine clamped Alastair’s fingers in and out of her pussy. My stepsister herself was already climaxing as her mouth gives the best blowjob to Gabriel. The pleasure he received from Lorraine made his hands and lips play wilder with my right breast. Many times I had to hold back my body that was trembling with pleasure.Romero in front of my lap was still busy with my pussy. I was flooded with evidence of overflowing cum. Minute after minute passed until I couldn’t help but mo
AlexaI looked at the four masked men and Lorraine. My eyes stared at one after another. The man with the big, muscular body, hair pulled back at the nape of his neck, and a crooked grin. He must be Alastair.The tall, slender man with brown curls was Romero. The man with tan skin, broad chest, and dark brown hair was definitely Harlow. Meanwhile, the blond Gabriel had his arms around Lorraine’s waist.“Why are you wearing masks?” I asked, my forehead furrowed.“We’re competing, Alexa. We don’t want you glued to our faces,” Romero swallowed.I rolled my eyeballs upwards and strode towards them. “But that mask is creepy and reminds me of the auction. Besides, I can already tell you guys apart, even if you wear masks.”“Ah, I see what you mean. I say we indulge our queen tonight.” Alastair pulled off his mask.His face looked haughty, with a confident smile on his face. He licked his lips as the other three men removed all their masks.Oh, Goddess, that turned out to be a bad idea. Beca
AlexaI walked out of the bathroom wearing a super mini lingerie. Only a sheer black mesh lace covered my chest, but I could see my full breasts clearly in the mirror. Black satin straps wrapped around my body, tying the transparent fabric with fragile knots over my skin.“Hmm… Do I really have to wear this?” I asked, one hand crossing over my chest while the other covered my exposed cunt.I mean, it was really exposed. Not just transparent, but the panties I wore had a gaping hole right in front of my pussy.Lorraine, who stood in front of me, flashed a bright smile. She picked up a satin robe and helped me cover my nakedness. With quick movements, I tied the robe’s belt around my waist.I cleared my throat and muttered a quick “thank you” to her. If Harlow were standing in front of me instead, I probably wouldn’t feel this embarrassed. But this was Lorraine—my stepsister, always ready to d
AlexaFreedom. Was this what it felt like? I took a deep breath. My body stood on the front patio, gazing at the neatly arranged garden in front of the packhouse. The sunlight shaded the flowers with a purple glow. No, not yet a hundred percent. Only one of the two shackles that bound me like a disgraced slave had been broken. The debt to Alpha Alastair was paid off, and it seemed I even formed an informal alliance to bring down Alpha Gabriel. I could only hope in my heart. Although I no longer owed Alastair, he would help me take down Gabriel with the grudge I planted in his chest. It was dangerous. I knew if I took a wrong step, Alastair would consider it all as a debt again. Fortunately, once again, I had signed no pact. Not even a verbal promise. Just a glance and a quiet murmur to blame all of Alastair’s misfortune on Gabriel. “Lady Dawson,” someone called my name from behind. I turned with a furrowed brow, confused. In my whole life, I never heard a nickname like that. Alth
Alexa“You’re all invited to our bachelor party tonight.” Gabriel smirked.“Bachelor party? Bah! No bachelor party where both bride and groom mixed into one! Are you insane?” Alpha Alastair laughed heartily.“No, I considered it a challenge from you all to win her heart. I would show you there that Alexa would still choose me. It was a free-for-all. You could use any method to take her from me, except violence.” Gabriel declared the rules of the game he made himself without discussing them with me.“What are you planning? Do you think I’m a toy?” I asked him with a glare.“You’re not a toy, dear Alexa. It’s just that all these men felt entitled to claim you simply because they were your potential mates.” His sneer was mocking as his eyes alternated between Alastair and Romero.“Ah, yes, one more thing you need to know. There’s still one other man who claimed to be a potential mate, but he’s not an alpha like us.” Gabriel raised his index finger and then pointed at the closed door.“St
AlexaUntil now, I did not know who reported my arrival to Alpha Gabriel. If only my mission had gone smoothly without him finding out, I would have already been basking in my freedom outside the Silver Moon territory.One thing for certain—I would never forgive that person, whether it was Mr. Pascoe or Mrs. Geeny. They were the same, keeping their mouths shut and claiming to know nothing about that night’s ambush.This past week, I no longer even knew who I was or what direction my life was headed. Mrs. Geeny insisted I embrace my destiny as the supreme Luna. She said I would unite all the great packs. She even believed Alpha Romero and Alpha Alastair came here today were a strong sign of the prophecy.What a damn nonsense. Their arrival was not to submit to a single leadership under mine and Alpha Gabriel’s. They came with a different purpose. I just knew it somehow between my fingertips.I descended from my room to the
Alexa“Alexa, I’m sorry,” Harlow pleaded desperately.“Oh, you’re sorry?” My palms hit his chest.“I shouted your name, but you just stood there watching me.” I hit him again.“You said you’d protect me, but you let him forced me a drug and fucking ruining me!” My hands half-hit, half-pushed on his body.I was already too disappointed with his actions. He let Gabriel hurt and deceived me. He just stood there and watched everything? Even got aroused until he reached some release.“Forgive me, Alexa. I shouldn’t have let Gabriel provoke me. He challenged me to see for myself, and I—I was too arrogant. I thought you would refuse him.” His voice dropped into a soft whisper.My chest throbbed painfully as I recalled what had happened. My arms wrapped around my body. The effect was brief, but it left a stain on me. Tears streamed down my cheek
