Chapter No. 1

Ada Steele:-

"What the fucking hell is going on over here?!"I shrieked out, holding my breath in a paroxysm of anger and agony, at a standstill in the doorway. The vision that lay before me was a blow to the chest that I did not see coming.

In front of me, my mate Alpha Alaric Whitmore was lying naked, buried deep inside his own sister, having an incestuous relationship, right after he mated with me an hour ago. I passed out after Alaric exhausted me after our mating ceremony, but when I woke up an hour later, I didn't find him, so I stepped out of the room in search of him, only to see him on my best friend's bed in the packhouse. They were utterly, entirely, fucking each other like I seemed never to have existed.

"You lying, cheating asshole! How could you do this to me? Just after our mating ceremony? Why?!" I demanded. “Especially with your own sister? You disgusting animal!”

Alaric stiffened, hearing my voice, his lips all of a sudden went still against Kimberly's. With a steady and nervous movement, he glanced over his shoulder. He let out a gasp of shock after finding me standing in the doorway with tears in my eyes and a broken heart, while Kimberly barely even flinched, and let out a smirk, with her lips swollen, and the way she looked at me with a gleam in her eye sickened me. She did not feel ashamed of her actions at all.

“Babe, I… I will tell you why--I can explain--" Alaric stammered, with simulated anxiety. He clutched the sheet and jumped off the bed to reach me, as though that could erase what I had witnessed. "This is not what it seems. We weren't doing...."

"Oh, save it, Alaric! Isn't what all cheaters say when they are fucking caught?" I snapped, stepping back when he tried to reach me, "Do I look like a fool to you? You think you can explain how your dick got itself buried deep inside of sister’s pussy? Your own blood sister! How could you do this to me, Alaric? You said you loved me. You marked me tonight in front of the whole pack as your Luna. You married me under the stars and moonlight. Why? Why did you betray me like this?"

I glanced at Kimberly this time before I asked, “And you. You are his sister. His blood. How could you even consider doing something like that? This is sick, Kimberly. More than betrayal- disgusting!"

"Your mate, huh?" she scoffed, " Do you really think the significant alpha of the Golden Crest pack will take a weak, low-ranking, orphan and wolfless omega like you as his Luna who has nothing to give but her ugly beauty?"

"Shut up, Kimberly!" Alaric growled at Kimberly and took hold of me, trying to pull me to him.

"Don't you dare touch me with your filthy hands, you cheater!" I cried out, as I pushed him off me, and got free of his hold, "I loved you, Alaric. I loved you more than anything. I thought you were the only one in this pack who truly cared about me, after Kimberly, but it was all a lie. You both...you both played with my feelings. Why? Why did you do that?"

He stood silent and frozen as a statue, while Kimberly rolled her eyes and slipped out of the bed, not bothering to hide her nudity as she approached Alaric and leaned her naked body against his, and winked at me.

"You! I am going to kill....." I wasn't able to finish my sentence when I felt a throbbing pain in the back of my head as someone hit me with a sharp object, followed by a stinging pain on my neck, that made my whole body burn, from inside out and for the first time I heard the voice, not a voice but painful scream in my entire eighteen years of my life. Before I could say or act to save myself, everything around me darkened, and I passed out.

By the time I was gaining consciousness, I heard the whispered voice of two people arguing with one another, while I groaned and hissed in pain that I was feeling all over my body, and my head. It was hurting so bad that I could barely move it. I was trying to open my eyes, but they won't open. At least my hearing senses were working as I heard Kimberly and Alaric arguing with one another over me.

"Ric, you know the deal. You promised that you would kill her after you had mated and bonded your blood with her on the night of the blood moon. You have succeeded in doing that tonight, so what's the purpose of keeping her alive anymore? Just kill her so we can be together and finally rule the pack as the Alpha and Luna." Kimberly asked Alaric at a distance. "You're invincible now. More powerful than the supreme alpha, Evander Knight, of the Shadow Moon Pack."

"I need her alive as my breeder, dammit!" I heard Alaric shout at Kimberly after losing his patience, "Her wolf is one of a kind and born once in every five hundred years, and I know it has awakened. I felt it through the bond, and now, I want my pups with her so I can build an invincible and immortal army of mine."

"Tha...That's never going to happen because I won't let you touch me again, you filthy dog!" I snapped, after gaining a little bit of strength, and opened my eyes to find myself in some warehouse, chained to a chair, laced with wolf's bane, with blood dripping down my head. My vision was blurry at first, but I could see them clearly. At least they were dressed this time.

"Look who finally decided to wake up from her little nap?" Alaric approached with an evil smirk on his face and caressed my cheek. "Does it hurt, my baby?"

"Don't you dare touch me or call me that!" I snapped when I heard my wolf let out a painful growl in my head as she murmured.

"Liar....wrong...mate....not our...mate." My wolf tried to tell me something in broken words. "Enemy...our enemy."

I didn't understand clearly what she was trying to tell me when the door to the warehouse opened and two weak figures were brought in, held captive in chains like me, brought inside by none other than Alaric's parents, and my pack members, whom I considered as my family. One captive was the woman, and the other was a man; to my shock, their features bore a striking resemblance to mine. The man's eyes were green as mine, while the woman looked like my doppelganger.

"Ada Steele, meet your parents, Alpha Alexander Steele and Luna Mariposa Steele, the original leaders of the Golden Crest Pack."
