ZACH: I had loved Amber all my life, so when she turned of age, and her wolf didn't surface, I made the biggest decision of my life—I would claim her. It didn't matter to me if I was the first Alpha with a wolfless Luna in this generation. I still wanted her. I could win her in the Claiming, and I could protect her all her life. I was sure of that until reality struck, and a tragedy happened, leaving me crippled, unable to walk with my feet. My wolf was strong—still able to run on his paws—which was the exact opposite of my human. I became useless, just a shell of the man I was once. So tell me, how could I claim her? How could I protect her when I couldn't even stand on my own? AMBER: I had loved Zach all of my life. I was determined to be claimed by him—either as his fated or chosen mate. So even if my wolf didn't surface, I was still on cloud nine because he finally confessed he felt the same way. I was beyond ecstatic waiting for the Claiming when he could finally claim me. Everything was perfect until I woke up in a hospital bed, where I almost died from a car accident. I thought it was the worst thing that happened in my life until I met Zach again, and he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. I survived the fatal crash, but I had no idea how long I could survive until my heart finally gave up from being shattered by the only man I ever wanted.

Chapter 1

Prologue - Amber & I

6 months after Amber turned 18

Amber - 18 years old

Zach - 21 years old

ZACH.

Amber and I. It has always been us. 

I couldn’t remember exactly when I fell in love with her. She had been around me since I was a pup, and I just woke up one day, and my whole world was already revolving around her. 

Amber was my ray of sunshine. On my bad days, all I needed to do was look at or talk to her, and she would easily calm the chaos within me. 

“Jace was an asshole, yet she still loves him,” I told her. We were talking about one of our friends who did something terrible in the past. 

“She believes in him.” She mumbled. 

I just shrugged my shoulders.

“You can be my asshole, Zach. I will still love you just the same.” Her eyes softened, and her words warmed my entire being.

“I can be an asshole to everyone but not to you, Amber. Never to you.” I meant it. I could be cold and blunt to anyone, but never to her. Even when we were younger, she was always the exception. I had appointed myself as her best friend and protector, hoping that one day, I would be lucky to become her destined mate. 

But fate surely knows how to play games.

Amber turned eighteen and her wolf didn’t surface, which made her unable to scent her mate or for her mate to scent her. 

Given the lineage that she had—having a half human Omega for a mother—it didn’t come as a surprise. They all knew she would shift later, just how her mother was. 

No one was worried, except me. I kept waiting—full moons after full moons—but nothing happened until I couldn’t just let time pass by.

A month ago, I finally decided that it didn’t matter anymore if she didn’t have a wolf. It didn’t matter if she were to be the only wolfless Luna in this generation. I still wanted her.

And I was confident that I could protect her with my life. 

I got lucky because Amber loved me back.

Ever since I confessed to her what I felt for her, she has also become very vocal about her feelings for me. No one could stop us after that. We wanted each other, so we finally decided to go for the Claiming.

Even if her mother was an Omega, her father was an Alpha, which made her an Alpha Female, which, in the absence of a fated mate, could only be claimed through the Claiming. 

This was exactly why we were still out tonight. We had just come from the Council Territory, and I was on my way to drive her back home. We listed ourselves for the next Claiming, which was two months away.

My name is Zachary Vernon Adams. I am the Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack. And I’m willing to put my life on the line to win Amber in the Claiming Arena in case any other Alphas show interest in claiming her.

I never doubted my capability in combat, both in my human and wolf forms. I had known about the Claiming since I was eight, and I had been training all my life for this, knowing Amber might not end up as my fated mate. I’d been preparing to fight for her.

I knew I would win because there was no way I would let anyone intercept her from me.

After the Claiming, Amber will officially be my Luna. My Chosen Mate.

Mine.

“I love you. Do you know that?” I said as our gazes locked.

Her eyes watered as she nodded her head before slowly raising her left hand, fingers spread out, and slowly turning it around so the back of her palm was in my direction, showing me the Amber stone engagement ring I had given her.

“You asked me to be your Luna, so I guess you love me.” She answered playfully, her eyes gleaming with happiness.

“I do. With all my heart, Amber Rose.”

“I love you, too, Zach.” She smiled sweetly at me. “Will you promise that whatever happens on our first night, you will not throw me away?”

I swallowed as I looked at her, holding the steering wheel tightly. The topic of sex has always made me uneasy. “I might do the opposite. I will never let you out of our room.”

Since we became a couple a month ago, Amber and I have been kissing and groping each other. Yes, my fingers had found their way into her private parts, but we had never gone all the way.

“Would you like to stay at my house tonight? I’m sure they won’t miss their Alpha overnight.” She was referring to my pack, which was just the next territory to hers.

“Amber…”

“Zach…” She playfully glared at me. “What if we ended up not being compatible in bed and were already married? What I mean to say is, what if I disappoint you?”

“You will never disappoint me.”

“I’m not good in bed.” She pouted. 

“I am.” I chuckled. I was joking. Like her, I was a virgin. I never had sex with anyone. I never had a girlfriend before her, either. I’d been saving myself for her. “I’m good at sleeping at it.”

She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms across her chest.

“Do you really want to have sex?” I asked as my heart drummed loudly. If there was anyone who needed to worry, it was me.

At this point, I was torn between wishing I had fucked before this so I could pleasure Amber the way she deserved to be pleasured. Maybe this was the reason I was adamant about holding on until the night of our union, so whatever happened after our first night, she could not get away from me anymore.

She nodded her head.

“Tonight?” I swallowed. 

Amber nodded her head in response, but her eyes remained on the road. 

“I want that too,” I replied and tilted my head to look at her, a grin playing on my lips. I also wanted this more than anything. Maybe this was the right time, a celebration for us getting listed for the Claiming. “So tonight?”

Her head snapped in my direction as her mouth opened wide.

“Can we start the foreplay now?” She said excitedly. She immediately ejected her seatbelt, and I knew she would move toward me for a big hug or grab me.

I laughed heartily. “Amber…”

“Yes, yes, Zach. Now!”

“Can I say no to you?” I asked, my eyes still on her.

Her face told me she would really do this. “So, is that a yes?”

I winked at her instead of answering. This was not the first time Amber gave me a handjob in the car, but this was the first time on a highway.

She opened her mouth, but instead of a shriek of excitement that I expected, a different sound resonated around us.

An explosion.

And it was too loud for my werewolf ears.

The road became a hazard with blinding lights and deafening sounds of tires screeching on the asphalt.

My head turned forward, and I saw a big trailer full of metal bars speeding toward us.

I steered my car out of the way. But even with my fast reflexes, I was still unable to avoid the collision—not just with the trailer but also the truck before it and other vehicles behind us.

Everything happened too fast. One moment, we were being naughty, and the next, we were being thrown into hell. All I knew was that my hand moved on its own and ejected my seat belt before I lunged to Amber’s side and wrapped my whole body around her, fearing that without her belt on, she might get thrown out of the car.

I would have shifted into my wolf and let Apollo protect her, but she was too small—too fragile—and the last thing I wanted was for her to be crushed by my wolf and the airbag.

Her airbag came off, and I felt my car was bumped on every side.

I didn’t know what was happening, but I kept gripping the most precious thing in my life tightly.

The last thing I heard was Amber’s piercing cries, and then, there was darkness.

And then lights—I saw different lights everywhere, even if my eyes were closed.

But it was too quiet. For the first time, I feared the silence.

I felt numb, but I did my best to move. Then, all of my senses came back at once.

There was a pain in my knees, back, and every joint of my body. My head was dizzy, and I could taste blood, but despite the smell of something burning surrounding me, I could also smell Amber.

And then I heard her labored breathing.

“Amber…” I fought to open my mouth even if my throat was so dry and painful.

“Zach… Zach.” She was stuttering and having a hard time talking.

I tried to pull away, but I couldn’t move my back. It was too painful.

“Are you okay?” I asked as I closed my eyes again and kissed the top of her head. She was inside my arms, wrapped up in my protective embrace.

“No. But we’re alive, Zach. We’re alive.”

“Yes…” I responded, but the pain kept coming. It kept heightening, and I felt like I would pass out. “Call someone.”

I had no idea how she would do it. We are cramped up in this little space of my crushed car. I could hear the sirens of ambulances and firefighters, but I couldn’t see anything. Outside the cracked windows was pure darkness.

“Siri…” Amber said in a loud voice, but I could tell she was crying. “Call Dad…”

Silence.

Silence. It felt like waiting for something that would never come.

I struggled to keep my eyes open as the pain in my back intensified.

And then it happened—the sound of a phone dialing out came from somewhere, and a ring finally came at the other end.

The last thing I heard was her father’s voice before darkness took me again.

Chapter 1 - Waking Up
10 DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT. AMBER.My head was throbbing, so I remained lying down with my eyes closed. My head pain was getting manageable compared to how I felt when I woke up two days ago. I was told it had been a week since the accident, and before I woke up, I kept drifting in and out of consciousness after I had blood transfusions. I lost too much blood, and without a wolf, my body was as frail as a human.It had been a week, but it felt like it was just a moment ago when I was cramped up in the crashed car and Zach passed out in front of me. I was hysterical while talking to Dad on the phone. He tried to pacify me while getting information. He eventually passed the phone to my twin brother, Cyrus, so he could call people to help us out of here. I was terrified. I kept begging them to save Zach.There was blood everywhere. I could also smell smoke and gas—the idea of the car blowing up was terrifying, like waiting for death to happen. Eventually, I was able to push my car do

Chapter 2 - Day 1
AMBER.“Take me to him!” I said as my chest heaved.“That’s my plan, but I need to find out how to attach this dextrose to the stand…” She was not able to finish her words, and her eyes grew bigger when I clutched the tube attached to me and peeled it off my skin. I felt a tinge of pain, but it was nothing compared to the pain in my heart.I couldn’t understand anything. My head refused to think why Zach would not visit me or why I was not allowed to visit him.Was Dad or Mom upset with him? Are they blaming him for the accident? I have to tell them it was an accident and no one wanted it.“Are you sure you’ll be okay? I don’t have shoes for you…”“Just take me there,” I replied as Eva helped me get into the wheelchair.“We need to be careful, as you’re not allowed to leave the room,” Eva said, and I nodded in response. I was grateful she was the exact opposite of me.While I followed all the rules to a T, Eva was more adventurous. She broke curfews and rules but never complained when

Chapter 3 - Day 365 of Moving On
A YEAR AFTER THE ACCIDENT.AMBER.That day never came. It had been exactly a year since the accident, and I had rarely encountered Zach. I tried visiting him multiple times, but I was not allowed to pass through their borders. I tried reaching out to his parents, and they let me in one time, only for me to leave feeling more heartbroken than I was.Zach was no longer the man I fell in love with. It was replaced with a monster who had no regard for anyone around him, even for me. I tried to understand him. He lost his capability to walk in that accident, while I was able to come out without any damage except for a small portion of my earlobe that was cut. And we both knew it was my fault. He made sure I remembered that. “If you weren’t a fucking whore and tried to get laid that night, I could have seen what was going on on the road.” He said those words to me many moons ago, but I still hear it as if he just said it earlier.I knew after that we could never have what we used to hav

Chapter 4 - Day 365 of Moving Pt2
AMBER.“You’ve been quiet,” Cassidy asked me as she handed me a cocktail drink. I didn’t even check what it was and just sipped the straw. The burn hit my throat at once, and I began coughing. “Hey! Are you trying to get drunk?” She chuckled and patted my back.“Zach is arriving with his family,” I told her. I was at a friend’s union, and I didn’t expect him to attend. He had never attended any functions since the accident. He would rather stay in his territory and isolate himself. Most of his Alpha friends kept visiting him at the beginning until they all just gave up. But I knew they would still extend invitations to him, like this one, but no one expected him to show up. So I couldn’t believe he would show up here.“Really?” She asked.I nodded and gave the glass to the server who passed by before taking a glass of water to soothe the burn in my throat. Cassidy was still talking but my attention was already elsewhere. My eyes swept around the ballroom, looking at everyone. I smi

Chapter 5 - Regrets
AMBER.“I didn’t say you were not capable of going to that room on your own, but this is not your party to ruin! So stop snapping at anyone, and let’s get you out of here!” I didn’t even give him time to object, and my eyes avoided everyone as I was not sure if I could get away with snapping at an Alpha in a crowded room. I moved toward his back, and Beta Arlo stepped aside immediately. As soon as I grabbed the handles of his chair, I rolled him away from the ballroom, and I was glad no one had stopped me. Zach didn’t say a thing. I was not sure if he was surprised or if he felt ashamed of his actions. Everyone tiptoed around him like they were not allowed to reprimand him for being an ass, but I was so done with all this crap. There’s a place for coddling him, but definitely not here, not when we’re supposed to be celebrating Catherine and Tyler’s union. He remained quiet while we were inside the elevator, but I could see him looking at me through our reflections on the elevator

Chapter 6 - Misery
AMBER.“Everything is about you! I tried for so long, but this is where it all led me to! I regret that night! And I hate you!” Zach was growling, his hand continuously pounding on his thigh as blood soaked his pants. “Stop! Please…” I slowly sank to my knees. “Please, Zach…”“Get out! Or I won’t stop doing this!” His eyes dilated, and I knew he meant what he was saying. I scampered to my feet, tears rolling down my cheeks as I stepped outside his room, closing the door before I ran to the nearest balcony. I stood there, hands holding onto the railing as I looked up at the moon. She was the only witness to my misery tonight. I didn’t stop myself from crying to her. “How much more pain will you give me?” I couldn’t breathe. The pain in my heart was unbearable. I thought I had felt all the pain possible that Zach could give me, but nothing compared to how I felt tonight. I was hurting for myself, but I was hurting more for him. I just wanted the nightmare to end.When my tears fina

Chapter 7 - Pains
AMBER.‘Amber?’ A voice dug into my head, waking me up from my sleep. ‘Hmmm…’ I mumbled, trying to wake my senses up. ‘Where are you?’ Eva asked before she continued talking in one breath. ‘They’re waiting for us at the packhouse for breakfast. I told them you were showering, and we were on the way there. I’ve been trying to wake you up for the last ten minutes.’ My eyes snapped open, and I stared at the ceiling when I remembered Zach and where I was. ‘I told Mom you were here with me. So hurry up!’ ‘Okay,’ I mumbled my reply, and the mindlink disconnected. My hands moved and crawled to my sides. The bed was empty, and the sheets were cold. It meant I was alone for a long time. I sat up and let my eyes roam around the room. There was no more wheelchair or any signs of another presence beside me. He left. He saw me beside him, and he left. My eyes watered again as I pushed myself to stand until I realized my shoes were nicely placed just beside the bed and that I had a bla

8 - Welcome to the Silver Moon Pack Pt1
PRESENT TIME. This scene picks up from To Love The Female Alpha Chapter 163Zach - 23 years oldAmber - 20 years oldZACH.“So what’s stopping you?” I asked my father, Riley, the former Alpha of this pack. My eyes shifted between him and my mother, Luna Nadia.They just came back from the Dark Forest Pack, where they visited Nadine, my mother’s sister, who was around the same age as me. Also, at any moment, my Beta would be arriving with his fated mate, Mindy, who was also part of Nadine’s pack. He was taking her home to officially claim her as his mate. If there was anyone I wanted around me in the packhouse, it was my Beta, not my parents. At 23, I didn’t need them watching my every move. So, as soon as they returned to the territory, I asked to speak with them.Earlier, I got a call from Uncle Jake, the current Council Head. He informed me that Uncle Caspian and Aunt Andrea had moved to the Council territory yesterday, and he was also waiting for Dad and Mom to make their move

9 - Welcome to the Silver Moon Pack Pt2
ZACH.“No, Dad! You listen! If you think I want to be stuck in this chair, I don’t, but I don’t have a choice. I have to live with that! But it’s supposed to be just me, and not you.”My eyes were stinging, but I did my best to blink back any tears forming. The last thing I wanted was for them to think I was still weak.“You need to be minding your own lives now. Just you and Mom! We’re all grown-ups here, maybe not Winter. Take her with you, but let me live as I see fit. I lost my ability to walk—just my feet. Don’t let me lose my confidence, too. You’re taking it away from me.”Mom’s eyes were watering, but she kept her tears at bay.“Don’t think like that. You are doing great these last two years. We don’t want you to feel we are abandoning you.”“I want you to abandon me... So I can grow from here.” I blurted out.“Did you remember in the hospital when they told you you wouldn’t be able to walk again? Dad said he’d be your feet…” Mom’s tears were already trickling down her face, an
