"What was it that you said to me in front of your mother?" I paused, racking my brain to recall Blake's exact words he had said to me two years ago. "Oh yes, I remember now. I Lily Conner reject you, Blake, as my mate," I sneered even though I never knew what it meant to reject him as a mate. I shoot him a disgusted look, I couldn't help but notice the pain and sadness in his eyes as if they were shattered pieces. **** Lily Conner is a timid, beautiful, shy, and nerdy human who had her life in order by the age of 22 until she had a one-night stand with a stranger calling himself Alpha Blake in a small weird unwelcoming town called Blood Moon that ruined everything for her. Meanwhile, Blake (who comes with a dark past) knew who Lily was to him but he still went ahead and rejected her because it was forbidden to mate with a human. But what happens if that human is expecting his children?

As the morning light began to filter through the curtains, I slowly opened my eyes, only to find myself in a bewildering predicament while my head was pounding hard."Ah," I winced from the body pains I felt all over.Where am I?Confusion washed over me as I realized that I was lying in a stranger's bed, completely naked in a room I hardly recognized.Oh crap!Panic surged through my veins as I quickly sat up, and a throbbing soreness in between my thighs made itself known at that moment. I knew that I had sex for the first time in my life… But with whom???I gingerly touched a few purplish bruises on my arms, evidence of a rough night that now seemed lost in a foggy abyss of my memory.What have I done?I fumbled to find my panties in the covers when suddenly I heard it—the sound of running water in what I presumed to be the bathroom behind a closed door.Fuck, the stranger I slept with was still here??? My heart skipped a beat. A flush of embarrassment washed over me as I imagined the awkwardness that awaited me if he were to walk out.With a quick decision, I decided to gather my scattered belongings and make a swift, discreet exit before he emerged.Shit, shit, shit. Never had something like this ever happened to me in my entire 22 years of perfect existence. I got dressed in my black jeans with a white round-neck tee I had worn last night. Clasped my shoes in my hands and stood barefoot on the floor.I was embarrassed by my situation and I partly blamed my bestie Sue because of her adventurous wild personality which landed me in a stranger's bed.A stranger's bed!!!I took short breaths in and out as I scanned the room one last time for my belongings. After all, I didn't want a man I barely knew to come to look for me because I left a bracelet like in those cliche romance movies you watched…Oh god, I hope he did not give me herpes. My body shivered with disgust as I didn't know what to expect from a first-time encounter with a man.I sighed softly while struggling to regain some semblance of composure, I glanced around the unfamiliar room. My eyes landed on a massive portrait stuck on the wall, capturing the attention of anyone who looked around the room.The handsome man in the painting stared back at me with enigmatic eyes, leaving me to wonder: was he the one I lost my virginity to?Oh God…my body shivered while I tried to swallow but I felt a lump in my throat.Hastily, I reached for my jacket, clumsily dressing myself as my thoughts raced through possibilities, trying to piece together fragments of memory that stubbornly evaded me. The urgency to leave this foreign place only intensified, and with a brief, apprehensive look toward the bathroom, I turned to make my escape.But as I made my way towards the door, fate had a twist in store for me. I collided with an elegant, poised older woman who appeared out of nowhere, shattering my plans for a quiet departure. She exuded an air of authority and her piercing gaze bore into my soul, leaving me feeling vulnerable and intimidated."Excuse me, ma'am," I stuttered nervously as I looked away with slumped shoulders because embarrassment was slowly swallowing me whole."Get out you cheap slut," she scoffed with a sour expression on her beautiful face.My voice caught in my throat, and all I could manage was a meek glance before retreating, swallowed up by a wave of humiliation. Without uttering a single word, I hurriedly left the room, the mansion, and the enigmatic man behind, desperate to distance myself from the mysterious events of the night before.As I walked away, questions swirled in my mind, entangling with a twinge of regret. Who was that gentleman in the shower? Apart from sex, what had transpired between us for me to wake up in bruises? And most importantly, who was the captivating woman I had crossed paths with at the brink of my departure?I got out of the beautiful house, stopped a taxi and got in."Take me to the train station please," I ordered while I leaned my head against the window and watched the buildings of the small town in the middle of nowhere disappear in the background.Oh thank God I got out of there in time not to face that man. I buried my face in my hands because I noticed the taxi driver looking at me in the rearview mirror with judging eyes…Oh god, what happened last night? I dug through my hazy memories to find answers.***Hours before…As I stood there, overlooking the vast mining site, I couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment. At the young age of 22, I managed to establish myself as a successful career woman, thriving in the corporate world of one of the top mining companies in the state. Life seemed perfectly aligned for me – a beautiful, nerdy, and hardworking executive supervisor, with my future shining brightly ahead. Nothing was going to mess up my life…or so I thought."Hey Lily," In the midst of my work, my trusted assistant slush best friend, Sue, approached me with an unusual proposal."Hey Sue, ready to go back home tonight?" I let out a toothy grin as I was excited to go back home to the city and leave this awful site I was assigned to work in for a week."What, no, I'm not going back home without having some fun," she insisted and I narrowed my eyes at her.What fun was she talking about in this woodland?"And what do you suggest we do?"I raised my eyebrows with tightened lips."Well, there is a town nearby," She suggested we venture off and have drinks at a nearby town we had passed on our way to the remote site."Nope," I pursed my lips because I wasn't going to venture into an unknown town I knew no one."Come on Lily, just a few drinks and we will be back in camp before anyone notices," Sue insisted but my mind was made up."No," I shrugged her off.I wasn't going anywhere near that creepy-looking town we had passed by a week ago."Please Lily, if you do this with me, consider not buying me a gift on my birthday next week," However, Sue, being the persistent character she is, insisted that it could be an early birthday present – a chance for me to let loose and escape the clutches of work, if only for a night."Are you sure you won't ask me for any expensive gift?""I cross my heart and hope to die," she crossed her heart and for a minute, I liked the sound of me not spending any money on the exaggerative gifts she loved me to buy her birthday."Okay, but just for a few hours and we get back here," I said."Not a problem," she smiled."Okay, let me go change out of my work clothes," I said while I walked towards my temporary cabin and Sue stopped me by clasping my hand."You look just fine, besides it's a small town so I doubt if there will be any cute guys needing to impress with our looks," she suggested and I sighed softly in agreement."Okay, fine," we walked to the tarred road a few meters away from the site and got into a taxi passing by."Oh I can't wait to dance the night away," Sue chimed in high high-pitched voice, I knew she was impatient as always.I forced a smile while I crossed my arms while I watched the sunset...A few minutes later, we arrived at the strange town, the atmosphere instantly shifted the moment we got out of the taxi. The once inviting aura of the place transformed into an unwelcoming presence, evident in the penetrating gazes directed toward us."Sue, I don't like this place," I whispered to her while I glanced sideways."Oh Lily, don't be a party popper with your weird feelings," she dragged me towards a busy-looking bar, and suddenly two huge men clad in all-black outfits stood in our path."Excuse us, we would like to go in and have fun," Sue spoke to the men as she threw her hands in the air."Sorry, ladies but you are not welcome in our bar and town, so I suggest you leave," one of the huge guys flexed his biceps in our faces, and Sue sneered as she looked down at the huge intimidating men, I grabbed her arm and pulled her back because I didn't want to be roughly kicked out of there town."Sue, I think we need to leave," I whispered to her ear but she shrugged me away."No Lily, this is a free country and if we want to drink tonight it will happen unless they tell me that they are the president of this town and we will leave," she insisted and the huge men exchanged looks."Actually, we are the…" Suddenly, a good-looking man with a smouldering sexy face interrupted us. Sue gasped and froze with wide eyes as she checked the guy out."You two, excuse, us," he shot the buff guys a look and they bowed slightly before leaving.I frowned… What was that all about?"Hey ladies," our rescuer turned to us with one raised eyebrow and slightly tucked chin, my heart skipped a beat because he was cute."Hey handsome, we are here to have some drinks and those buffoons were stopping us,'' Sue began batting her eyelashes with the mysterious handsome man who had come to our rescue. I pinched her to remind her we were in their tuff and I didn't want to be taken advantage of.Sue shrugged me away again, I crossed my arms across my chest while I narrowed my eyes at her.What was she thinking flirting with a stranger she hardly knew? I scoffed inwardly as I watched the two flirt."I apologize on their behalf, you can go ahead and have your drinks," he winked at her, and she chuckled seductively while playing with her hair.I rolled my eyes at her and pushed back my glasses."Oh thank you so much, you are such a sweetheart," Sue tagged me into the busy bar while looking back at her prince charming."Sue, that guy could be a kidnapper or worse a serial killer," I said and she sneered unapologetically."Oh Lily, must every guy be a serial killer," she began dancing to the fast beat song, I screwed up my face in surprise.How could my best friend think I was overthinking things??? I dragged my legs behind her while I paid attention to the people in the club who gave us dirty looks.I swallowed nervously.The tension in the air was noticeable, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease creeping back to my spine. Sue, on the other hand, seemed unaware of the peculiar ambiance and insisted we head straight to the counter and get drunk and put my worries to rest."Hey barman, give us the strongest shots you have in this place," Sue ordered while I dreaded all the flickering eyes on us.These people were definitely weirder than I thought… I kept to myself because Sue said I worried too much…A few minutes later,Shot after shot of whiskey washed away my initial nervousness, replacing it with a feverish personality.I began dancing all over the place…The liquor infused a newfound sense of freedom within me, gradually eroding the tall walls of responsibility and professionalism that I had so meticulously built."Go, little bad girl, little bad girl x3," the upbeat in the club made me lose my shit literally as I dance with strangers… Sensually grinding my ass on each and everybody I danced with… I was stupid drunk and everything felt so good not to give a fuck about what people thought about me…Suddenly, a tall good-looking man walked up to me and clasped my waist, my body hitched while I gawked at the handsome features on his face."I think you have had enough of the drinks," he said in a husky voice with lots of eye contact. I scowled."You are not my boss…" I stuttered in slurred speech and he leaned forward."Yes I am," he proclaimed in a huskier voice, my core knotted and for a few seconds, I got tongue-tied at how sexy his gaze was.Who was he to care so much about me?"Barman, please give me more alcohol," I yelled while I tried to walk away from the sexy party popper, he tightened his grip on my waist. I winced painfully."Awe, you are hurting me," I said and he smirked."Because you are being such a bad girl," he said and I frowned at what his deal was."Again, you are not my boss,"Suddenly one of my favorite club songs came on. I began jumping up and down in excitement to the song.Lost in the whirlwind of emotions and alcohol-induced joy, I found myself entangled in a dance with the very stranger who wanted me to lay off the drinks… His eyes flickered into a different color. I glowered but continued dancing the night away."I love your eyes," I said in a slurred speech, he scoffed and licked his lips."And you have enchanting lips," he answered back, my hands found themselves in his soft damp hair that hung on one side while my eyes were glued on his pink manly lips.I licked my lips... Kiss me, handsome.The music swirled around us, echoing the thumping beats of my heart, as we moved in perfect synchrony. And then, as if guided by some invisible force, our lips met in a moment of pure, enchanting bliss.We kissed and everything else after was a blur I couldn't recollect…Hello Readers;I hope you enjoyed Lily and Blake's journey like I did writing it.

The Narrator's POV;Two years later… "Can you believe it's almost 2024?" Sue asked, nudging Lily gently by the shoulder. They both stood at the patio of Lily's home. "I know, right? Time flies when you're having fun." Lily replied, taking a sip of her red wine while Sue drank her glass of orange juice. "Or when you're busy raising a bunch of pups," Sue added, rubbing her swollen belly.Sue was pregnant with her second pups, and Lily was thrilled for her.Lily laughed. "True. But I wouldn't trade it for anything. I love my family more than anything in the world.""Me too. And I'm so glad we met our mates that night we wandered into their pack, Lily. There are the best things that ever happened to us." Sue said, wrapping her hand over Lily's shoulder. "You're right. They are the best. I don't know what I would do without them." Lily said, glimpsing at her man with a loving gaze.Her mate, Alpha Blake, was chatting with his Beta Ryan, by the grill stand. They were discussing pack mat
Blake's POV;I have been a fool!!!I stared at Khloe with pure hatred, feeling my wolf claw at me to rip her throat out. She had lied to me for weeks, claiming that she was carrying my pup, when in fact she was pregnant with someone else's.In addition, she had manipulated me into thinking I had a one-night stand with her therefore inflicting emotional pain on my Luna. There was no forgiveness this time around... I tightened my grip around her neck, I could feel her bones snap one by one..."Please, babe, don't kill her," Lily surprisingly began pleading even after unveiling her crimes to me."She's not worth it and she's still pregnant, even if she's a liar."I looked at Lily, feeling a surge of love and guilt. How could she still be so kind and forgiving after what Khloe did to us? I didn't deserve her... "Why are you defending her?" I asked, incredulous. "She hurt you more than anyone."Lily shook her head with a sincere look on her face. "Because I don't want you to become a
Lily's POV;"I want you to come back inside and take another DNA test. Right now." I demanded, grabbing her arm.She jerked away from me and glared. "Are you crazy? I already took the test and I'm pretty sure the doctor sent you the results like he did to me…. It's over, Luna. This is Blake's pup I'm carrying and there is nothing you can do about it ."passerby began stopping and forming a little crowd around. They began to watch our drama unfold. I shook my head, feeling a surge of anger and pain. "No, he's not. And neither is the pup. You're lying to yourself, Khloe. And I'm going to prove it." I said firmly. She laughed a cold and mocking sound. "You're pathetic, Luna. You can't accept the truth. Blake and I had sex, and this pup growing inside of me is his. He is only mated with you because of the stupid bond. But he's going to break it soon and be with me and our child."I clenched my fists, trying to control my wolf. She was howling inside me, wanting to rip Khloe's throat out
Lily's POV;"Do you need an extra pair of hands to help with the cleaning?" I looked around the living room I had messed up and felt a surge of guilt. The couch was ripped, the curtains were torn, and the floor was covered with fur... I had lost control of my wolf and wreaked havoc on our home."If you don't mind," Blake smiled at me with his warm eyes. I felt a flicker of hope. I got up on the floor and went to change into something appropriate for cleaning the house. We got to work, picking up the debris and throwing them in the trash. We moved the furniture back to their places and vacuumed the floor. We wiped the dust and stains from the walls and windows. We worked as a team, helping each other and cracking jokes along the way as if we never drifted apart. As we cleaned, I heard giggles and squeals from the other room. Our twins, Mason and Madison, were playing in their room. The triplets napped in their room. An hour later, we finished cleaning the living room and moved on
Lily's POV;Khloe's pregnancy is Blake's!!!I couldn't take it anymore. The pain, the betrayal, the lies. He had broken me beyond repair. This revelation had taken everything from me. My life, my memories, my soul.I felt a surge of power coursing through my veins, awakening something primal and fierce inside me. I felt my body changing, shifting into my true form. A silver wolf, the rarest and most powerful of our kind. A reincarnated Luna.I tore off the clothes that were restricting me, feeling the freedom of my fur and claws. I didn't care about the noise I was making or the mess I was leaving behind. I only cared about one thing. Revenge!!! I burst out of the bedroom, snarling and growling. I saw Blake sitting on the couch, surrounded by our five kids. He looked up, startled, and his eyes widened in shock..."What are you doing Lily?" 'You are the father to Khloe's bastard, ' I snarled via mate link. Blake immediately jumped up, trying to shield the kids from me as I knew he
