Alpha Ryker's Cursed Luna

Chapter one***ROXANNE***“Slow, fragile, dumb Roxanne”MORNING LIGHT FILTERED IN through the drapes and sunlight danced on my face. I slammed my hand on my alarm clock that wouldn't stop ringing, before stretching in bed. I groggily dragged myself off the bed— still half asleep and went to stand before my mirror. I glanced at my clumsy reflection; half-unbuttoned clothes like I had fought taekwondo with the demons in my sleep and my hair was a wild, dishevelled mess. I wanted to go back to bed but I had zero idea why I was up early. The morning bell rang and my eyes snapped open! Shit! It was morning. I hastily stepped out of my nightwear and slipped into my duty clothes. Finally, I tied back my hair, washed my face and dashed out of my room. I dreaded waking up here. Every day was a tiresome cycle, a relentless gush of burdensome tasks that clung to the same predictable routine. As an Alpha’s daughter, one might assume a life of privilege, but within these walls, my existence is

Chapter threeThe leader of the pack is never the loudest ***ROXANNE***I WAS GROUNDED. I had no idea how long it would be but that was the Alpha’s declaration as a punishment. I observed my brother had been giving me the cold shoulder ever since the training camp and several times I tried to start a conversation with him but he ignored me and left me in the dark until he gave the order that I was grounded. I wasn't allowed three square meals, just a once in a day thing but of course, my duties were intense. I still had to do the chores— a lot of it. But I was confined to my room till whenever. Chloe didn't make it any easy for me. Her taunts went on endlessly and I had to bear it all. I detested everyone. As the week progressed, the bullying intensified. My very move was scrutinised and every drawback was highlighted. It was either Chloe messing up the kitchen after I made it neat or some pack member asking me to do twice my work. Other times they sang songs of mockery and made me

Chapter five “Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future”***ROXANNE***NEWS OF ALPHA RYKER’S ARRIVAL sent shockwaves through the festival. The atmosphere shifted from anticipation to fear in a twinkle. The once vibrant celebration descended into chaos as pack members, caught off guard, exchanged alarmed glances. Alpha Ryker had never attended the lunar peak’s festival and for ours to be the first he was coming to, there was bound to be chaos. For he was the Alpha of Red Moon and there was also rivalry between our packs. I had heard about Alpha Ryker. He was the most feared and cruel Alpha of Lunar Peak. Anyone who fell into his trap had to suffer his wrath. Pack members huddled in anxious clusters and their conversations were heavy with worry. I knew he was a deadly man when I saw my brother’s face fall. “Zane, do something about it! My nails and hair. It took me months to get my dress ready. I can't let this get ruined.

CHAPTER 7RYKERPushing the other man to the ground, I listened to his wolf whimpers as my fist was clenched and outstretched to land a blow that would end this damned other Alpha life… My mind was thrilled with killing him and claiming the aura of his wolf as mine, at the same time I couldn't ignore the urge to see if the woman who had fallen into the ravine was fine.All efforts to ignore that urge proved abortive, In annoyance at the entire situation, my eyes narrowed slightly at the man who had his eyes closed and was expecting to breathe his last before glancing at the body of the woman lying haplessly about twelve feet below.“The next time we cross paths, I will be slaying your damned wolf."He pulled away as soon as I backed off and scrambled on the ground before making his way back to his defense. “Fall back!” He growled heavily enough that I could hear the impact of his voice as it trembled even while finding my way down the cliff.The woman was covered with blood, yet e

CHAPTER 9ROXANNE“What in the hell are you doing?"The sound of the guard entering the room startled me, with my head swirling and my heart thudding heavily I let the metal clatter to the ground.The sight of the tall man with dangling keys sent jitters through my nerves, I sat still not sure of what to do or the right words to say at that moment.“I … I .” I stuttered confused about what to say at that moment. " What were you trying to do?” He questioned.His eyes came down to the spot that had a bit of red where it had barely pierced through. The realization of what was about to happen hit him as he stared into my rather flustered face.His palm swiped across my face and I could feel a stinging pain on my chin."Do you know how complicated this would have been?” He spat the words out immediately and I could see how furious he was.I muttered only words I could at the moment hoping that the whole issue doesn't become more escalated than it already was." Please, have mercy I… " Th
