Chapter 1

House of Lust & Moonlight: (Story 1)

Seducing the Alpha

Azalea~

His cock drove into me so deep I forgot my own name.

The hotel room was dark, spinning, my head heavy like it was filled with thick fog. But his body felt familiar. Heavy. Demanding. It had to be Timothy, my mate. My husband of four miserable years. The one who barely touched me anymore. Tonight he was different; stronger, hungrier, like he actually wanted me.

I moaned loudly as he thrust into me again, stretching my pussy wide around his thick length. 

Every brutal thrust sent sparks shooting up my spine. I was so wet, waterier than I’d ever been with him, my slick coating his balls as they slapped against me. My back arched off the mattress, nails digging into his bare, perfect, muscular back flame as I pulled him closer.

“Timothy…” I gasped, voice trembling with need.

His teeth grazed my neck as he growled, the pressure sharp enough to leave a mark. With a sudden surge, his hips drove forward, the force of his rhythm sending the headboard thundering against the wall. The room was filled with the sensual sound of his cock, burying itself deep within my drenched heat. 

Every thrust reached that hidden, aching spot inside me, making my toes curl as I felt the full breadth of him.

It was too good. Too intense. My walls clamped around him greedily, fluttering as pleasure built fast. I came hard, crying out, my pussy vibrating around his cock while my whole body stiffened. 

He didn’t slow down. He kept fucking me through it, deeper than before, until I felt him swell inside me. Massive, impossibly bigger than his usual size as he locked us together.

His knot—I screamed as it stretched me open, the pressure almost painful but so fucking good I saw stars. 

Another orgasm ripped through me, stronger than the first, leaving me trembling and sobbing beneath him. I held on to him like he was the only thing keeping me from falling apart.

I had never felt this full. This ruined. This wanted.

And I still thought it was my husband.

~~~~~

Morning descended into me like rain.

Bright lights flashed behind my eyelids. Voices. Too many voices. My head pounded like a marathon was being carried out. My body ached, raw between my legs, sticky with dried cum, covered in a scent that wasn’t quite right.

I forced my eyes open.

The Presidential Suite was full of people.

Reporters with cameras, pack members, my parents standing near the door with cold, disappointed faces. Timothy, my husband. And Christy, my best friend, standing right beside him, her hand resting possessively on his arm.

Roman Thorin lay beside me. Naked. The Alpha. My husband’s best friend. The man I had always disliked.

Camera flashes flared again.

I jerked upright, clutching the sheet to my bare breasts, heart beating against my ribcage. Panic creeped up my throat.

“What… what is this?” My voice came out hoarse.

Roman sat up slowly, his powerful body tense, eyes blazing with fury as he took in the crowd. Then his gaze landed on me and turned to ice.

“How the hell did you end up in my bed, Azalea?” His voice was like a storm, destructive, dripping with disgust. “A married woman throwing herself at me like some cheap, desperate slut,” he finished with more disgust written across his features.

His words sliced into me sharper than any knife. Cheap. Desperate. The way he looked at me made my stomach twist.

I couldn’t speak. My mind was still foggy. The only clear memories were flashes of last night, that thick, huge cock stretching me, the knot locking us together, the way I had come so hard I cried. The way my body had betrayed me completely for a man I hated.

Timothy stepped forward, his face twisted in perfect rage. “I knew it. You’ve been nothing but a whore behind my back.”

“Timothy, please… I don’t remember what happened, I swear to you—” My voice shook, tears already burning my eyes.

“Save your fucking lies.” He stared at me with pure contempt. “I, Timothy Hale, reject you, Azalea Lune, as my mate.”

The bond snapped as I stiffened. He didn't even wait to hear my truth. He said the rejected word.

Pain broke out in my chest like someone had reached in and ripped my heart out with bare hands. I gasped, doubling over, clutching at my ribs as the connection tore away. It felt like dying. Like every memory, every shared moment, every hope I had held on to for four years was being shredded inside me.

Timothy grabbed Christy’s hand and pulled her close, smiling coldly. “Christy will be my woman from now on. The divorce papers will be ready soon.” And with that, they turned and walked out.

I stumbled after them into the hallway, the sheet barely wrapped around my naked body, tears streaming down my face. “Timothy, wait! Please, let me explain! I don’t know how this happened—”

He didn’t even look back. Just kept walking with Christy’s hand in his.

My parents stood there like strangers. My mother’s lips curled in disgust. “You’re worthless now. You were only useful while you were married to him and he funded our lives. Don’t come home until you fix this and get back with your husband. If he’ll even take you back after this shame.”

The hallway spun. Cameras followed me, flashing nonstop. I was naked under the sheet, marked with another man’s bites and cum, while the entire Nightshade Pack watched my complete destruction.

Roman’s voice thundered from the suite behind me. “Everyone get the fuck out of my room. Including her.”

Security grabbed my arms. I barely managed to snatch my torn dress from the floor before they dragged me out like garbage.

I locked myself in a bathroom down the hall, sliding down the cold wall until my ass hit the floor.

Everything was gone.

Four years of marriage. The endless miscarriages. The nights I spent crying alone because Timothy barely looked at me anymore. The way I had tried so hard to be the perfect mate. All of it… gone.

And Christy. My best friend. Smiling while holding my husband’s hand like she’d been waiting for this. What was going on?

I pressed my forehead against my knees, body still aching from Roman’s cock. The memories kept flashing — the way he had fucked me, the way my pussy had clenched and gushed around him. The way I had come harder than I ever had in my life.

I hated how much I had liked it.

I hated him.

This had to be his doing. Two days ago in the office I had challenged him in front of everyone, by calling him out for being a cruel bastard to the staff. He must have wanted revenge. To break me publicly. To humiliate me so thoroughly that I would never recover.

Fine.

I lifted my head slowly, staring at my reflection in the mirror across the small bathroom. My neck was covered in his bite marks. My thighs bruised from his grip. I looked thoroughly fucked. Ruined.

Something dark and vicious bloomed in my chest, sharp and cold as my face contorted into a smirk.

If Roman Thorin thought he could ruin me and walk away…

I was going to seduce him. Make him crave me. Make him fall so deep he couldn’t function without me. Then I would destroy him the same way he had destroyed me.

He didn’t know it yet, but his world was about to collapse too.

With a trembling hand, I wiped the tears from my cheeks. Stood up on shaky legs, and stared at the stranger in the mirror. The new me glared back at me.

My smirk widened.

The game had just begun.
