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.

Amber - 18 years old
Zach - 21 years oldZACH.
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.
“So you think I just hit him because I want to? Because I can? You were not even there for five minutes, and you judge me already! You were not there when I calmly asked him to explain and spill everything he knew. You were not there when I told him I was giving him another chance to talk before I did it my way! And you were not there for the last two fucking years when I put my life in his hands! I gave that man everything—my trust, my soul, my insecurities, and my money—only for him to play with my life! And if you think he doesn’t deserve everything I gave him, then crucify me now!”“But what if he’s not guilty?”“In all the years you have known me, Amber. Except for the years I treated you badly, did I ever cross the line of being an abusive Alpha? Have I? Because I was sure that the only reason I grabbed that whip and cracked it on him was because I was one hundred percent sure he was guilty, that he knew what he was doing. That he knew who he was working for and who he was getti
AMBER. Zach was seated in his chair. His chest was bare, and glistening sweat was dripping all over his body. A whip was coiled around his hand, and the way he was gripping it told me he was the last one who cracked the sound that I heard. The deadly expression on his face made me want to turn around and flee. I thought the expression he showed me after the accident was the toughest I had seen from him. I was wrong. I felt I was looking at someone I didn’t know. His whole aura was radiating with anger, and with the way he was looking at me, I knew he was also upset that I was here. “What are you doing here? I said not to let you in here.” He asked in a deep voice. I opened my mouth to speak, but decided to mindlink him instead. ‘I didn’t tell anyone I was heading here.’‘Get out, Amber. I won’t be able to do what I need to do if you’re here.’‘I won’t interfere… Please.’“Alpha… Please, enough. I know nothing.” I heard a voice from the other side, and my head tilted in its directi
AMBER.They started their day without me. What kind of sorcery did she use that they were all catering to her? What happened to not trusting her at all?If there was only one good thing happening, it was that Estelle was here in the house and not with Zach somewhere. So whatever was happening, I could still keep my sanity intact. I was still trying to calm myself when I heard footsteps approaching. I swiftly turned around, ready to confront the person, as I thought it was Estelle, watching my every move. I knew one more mocking word from her, and I wouldn’t be able to contain myself. She would feel my wrath. “Luna Amber…” Mindy spoke in a hushed tone as she walked toward me. “I mean, Lady Amber.” Mindy had been calling me Luna, but I asked her to drop it while Estelle was here. Her face looked apologetic, as if she were guilty of something, and I had no idea if I should be glad or pissed off.“Where is…”“Alpha Zach…”We spoke and stopped at the same time before I nodded, urging he
AMBER. Zach’s shoulders dropped, and then he motioned for me to come to him, which I did. He pulled me to sit astride his lap before he rolled his chair and closed the door while my head rested on the crook of his neck, crying for the mess I had created for myself.“I’m sorry…” He mumbled as his hand rubbed my back and peppered my head with kisses. “I wanted to mindlink you, but she kept staring at me the whole time. I didn’t want her to see that.”A part of me believed him. But there was a tiny part that was terrified. There had never been a female between us that I didn’t know how to react to or how Zach would behave around it. I pulled away from his neck and met his eyes. He cupped my cheeks, removing the stray hair sticking to my face with tears.“Do you like her?”“No…” He shook his head. “I only like and love one female. The one in my arms.”My lips quivered. I couldn’t stop my sobs.“I thought you wanted her to stay, so I stopped her from leaving. I did it for you so you don’
AMBER.“Be careful with your lies, because they might come back to haunt you,” I told her, my voice firm, sending her a warning. “I don’t owe you any explanation.” She sneered at me before turning her attention to Zach. “What’s the point of having me here if everyone gives me this kind of attitude? I will leave first thing in the morning!”I swallowed. Shit. I needed her around for at least a few more days.“I was fulfilling my end of the contract,” Zach spoke calmly, looking directly at her. “If you do your part and do not treat anyone disrespectfully and refrain from shouting at them, I’m sure you will be given the same treatment.”I bit my bottom lip. Despite knowing that maybe Zach was speaking to her gently because he knew I wanted her to stay, a part of me was jealous of the calmness he was showing. “I just didn’t like that I felt I was not welcome. All I want is to have time to get to know you, but with Amber around, I don’t think that’s possible.”“I’m really busy this time
AMBER. He couldn’t bend yet, but if he wanted me in his mouth, he would get it. I withdrew my pussy off him and used his armrests as my leverage to move my butt back until it landed on his desk. I inched backward until I was already on top of it. I was sure this sturdy table could hold me. I turned around and got onto all fours, causing the papers on the table to scatter, with some dropping onto the floor. But we didn’t mind them. I hiked my ass, positioning it directly on his face. And when I turned to look at him, his expression was worth all this aggressiveness and the mess I created. I bit my bottom lip and closed my eyes as his wet and warm mouth sucked and lapped at my wetness before his fingers penetrated me, finger-fucking me hard and deep.“This pussy is mine…” He groaned, sending a vibration within me, as the sound of my pussy squeaking for every thrust resonated around me. I couldn’t help but moan wantonly, reveling in the ecstasy and knowing that soon, I would be trembl
