DEXTER'S POV

It was the day of the gala party, an event that united different packs. Alpha's and their Lunas, betas, gammas, and even omegas weren't left out in the celebration.

Appreciation was to be rendered to the Moon Goddess. Gifts were to be exchanged between one another and awards were to be given to those who deserved it.

I walked through the grand entrance of the Wolfberry Hotel where the gala was taking place, each of my steps commanding attention.

The flashing lights of cameras lit up the crimson carpet, reflecting in my sharp, midnight-black suit.

My presence alone was enough to silence murmurs, guests parting instinctively as if making way for a king.

Behind me was Kendra, her hands gripped tightly to mine.

Owing to the fact that every Alpha who had found their mate was mandated to come with their Luna, I had no option than to let her tag along.

She was basking in the euphoria of the attention she was getting, sending away reporters and photographers who she termed spies.

    DEXTER'S POVA bitter taste settled on my tongue. The whole thing was just unacceptable to me.The audience clapped, oblivious to the fury brewing beneath my calm exterior. My pride was a beast clawing inside me, demanding answers. I could feel the weight of my pack's eyes on me. Their trust, their loyalty was shattered.How could I let this stand?I exhaled sharply, my jaw locking. Whoever Luna Deathclaw was, she had just become a problem.The clapping thundered in my ears, each applause a mockery, a dagger twisting deeper into my pride.The moment she stepped forward, the air was sucked from my lungs.The world slowed as she emerged from the crowd, gliding toward the stage with the same grace I once knew too well.Kendra's grip tightened, her nails biting into my wrist, but I barely felt it.Because there she was.Daisy? I had to rub my eyes with the back of my hand because I couldn't believe my eyes. It was Daisy. No. Luna Daisy Deathclaw.My ex-wife. I meant ex-fiancée. The woman

    DAISY'S POV A gentle but firm touch on my lower back broke through my spiralling thoughts. "Breathe, Luna." Zordon's deep, commanding voice grounded me instantly. I turned slightly, my eyes meeting his piercing gaze. He wasn't smiling, but he didn't need to. The warmth in his swirling silver eyes was enough. I let out a breath I hadn't realized I was holding. "I'm fine." His lips quirked in a way that told me he didn't believe me. "No, you're not," he murmured, shifting his stance so his body subtly blocked me from the prying eyes of the crowd. "I can hear your heart racing. You're thinking about him, aren't you?" I stole a quick glance at him. Zordon had always known. He knew the weight of my past, the scars I carried from the life I had been forced to leave behind. And he had never once pitied me for them. Instead, he had made sure I never had to face them alone. His fingers brushed over mine, his warmth seeping into my skin. "He has no power over you anymore, Daisy." I swa

  • STOLEN BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA   18: You Are Not A Deathclaw

    DEXTER'S POVThe moment my feet moved, I knew I wouldn't stop until I was in front of her.I barely registered Kendra's gasp as I shoved past the crowd, my pulse pounding in my ears. The applause was still deafening. A relentless reminder that I had lost control of something that should have never been taken from me, and that was Daisy.I forced my face into a mask of control, though rage simmered beneath the surface. Each step I took carried the weight of my pride, and the regret which boiled deep down in my heart.Daisy had no right to that name. She had no right to stand beside Zordon Deathclaw, let alone be addressed as his Luna. He was supposed to send her off to work somewhere on a fishing boat or his famous barracks, but this, this was outrageous. How dare he make her his Luna? And how dare she accept his proposal to become his when she knew she belonged to me? She was mine. She would always be mine. My jaws clenched as I reached the stage, brushing past the guards as if the

    DEXTER'S POVThe room tensed.My body coiled. I was barely able to restrain my rage.Zordon Deathclaw was powerful. Respected. Feared.I didn't even remember him coming to any of these gatherings before. Even though us alphas were expected to be present at such events, but he had always declined the gala's invitation and stayed away. So what had changed now? Why was he here tonight and with her?Even if he acknowledged Daisy's title, I still wouldn't allow it.I turned sharply toward him, my teeth bared. "Zordon—"But he only raised a single hand. The room fell deathly silent, every eye now fully directed at us.Slowly, he rose from his seat, his views falling on me with the weight of an avalanche.And then, with deliberate precision, he spoke."Luna Daisy Deathclaw is under my protection. She is mine."My hands clenched into fists at his words.The weight of them pressed against my chest like a steel cage. The pressure made my heart tightened and my breath came out ragged. I felt li

"But Zordon is my present and my future. I will build with him."The last shred of hope inside me crumbled into dust.The hall felt suffocating. The deafening cheers of the crowd, the way they celebrated my loss, made my stomach twist with fury and despair.My mate, Daisy, had just chosen another man over me.Without remorse or pity, Zordon stood tall, his arm instinctively wrapping around her waist, staking his claim. He didn't even have to say anything. He had already won.I forced my legs to move, every step feeling heavier than the last. The weight of my own failure pressed down on me and my pride shattering beyond repair.The doors loomed ahead, an escape from the humiliation, but just as I reached them, a hand grabbed my wrist."Dexter, what was that all about?"I turned my back to see K

    DEXTER'S POVThe words hung in the air between us, heavy with implications. My wolf bristled at the idea, but deep down, a part of me sought vengeance.I had been wronged.Xavier leaned in, his voice dropping to a whisper. "Together, we can make Zordon suffer. We can take everything from him, just as he took everything from us."'Revenge!' The word burned in my mind.I thought of Daisy, of the way Zordon had looked at me as if I were nothing. I thought of the way the crowd had cheered when he claimed what was mine.Maybe it was time to stop being the man who lost.And start being the man who took back what was his.I met Xavier's gaze, my voice a low growl. "I'm listening."Xavier's lips curled into a slow, sinister smirk. "Good," he hummed. "Then let's talk about how to break him immediately."I crossed my arms, my wolf still restless beneath my skin.I stared at Xavier, the war inside me raging.'You rejected her first, Dexter. You sold her in exchange for power, so you have to deal

    KENDRA'S POVI waited for Dexter to accept my lips in a passionate kiss and then pin me on the bed and fuck me until the sun came up, but he surprised me when he caught my wrist, his fingers boring into my skin as he pried my hand away from his body. "No!" his voice was cold and commanding, sending icy shivers down my spine."Dexter, why are you doing this to me?" I asked, surprise flickered over my face. "I am your true mate. The one the Moon Goddess paired you with." "I don't want you anywhere near me, Kendra. My life has been cursed ever since I met you," he grunted. "Just go away," he ordered.The words cut through the air between us. And another shiver crawled over my skin. Not just from his tone, but from the sheer force of his rejection.I lifted my gaze, searching his face for an expression that wasn't this ruthless detachment. But Dexter's face was so rigid, like it was carved from stone, showing he had no sympathy for my feelings. "Dexter," I whispered, my voice trembling

    KENDRA'S POV"You are crazy and dead wrong," Dexter's eyes snapped to mine.I let out a laugh, trying to conceal the anger in my heart. "That's right. It was never about me, was it? It was about the position she held. The Luna of the Deathclaw Pack. You hated she had the power, that she held the title of being his Luna and not yours. You think she was supposed to be yours to claim."Dexter's entire body tensed, his breathing uneven. For the first time, I saw hesitation flicker in his gaze.He took a slow step forward, his hands trembling before he clenched them tighter. "You don't know what you're talking about."I tilted my head, watching him carefully."Say it, Dexter." My voice was softer now, almost pleading. "Say you feel nothing for me. Say, you never loved me," I dared him.He stared at me. His face seemed easy to read now, but then, like a switch flipping, his face hardened once more."I feel nothing for you." Each word was slow, meant to pierce straight through me.I nodded,

  • STOLEN BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA   165: Epilogue

    DAISY'S POVThe house was finally still.Zion was fast asleep in his own bed, curled up with his stuffed wolf tucked beneath one arm. He'd insisted he wasn't tired, then passed out mid-sentence while telling me his version of a bedtime story, which, naturally, included dragons, glowing swords, and a lot of heroic howling.Zahra, our six-month-old daughter, was tucked into her crib in the nursery. The faint sound of her gentle breaths echoed through the baby monitor beside the bed. She'd been fussy earlier, but a warm bottle and a lullaby had done the trick. Now her tiny hands rested over her heart, lips parted in a peaceful dream.For the first time in days, everything was quiet.And for the first time in weeks, we were alone.I stood at the foot of our bed wearing one of Zordon's oversized t-shirts. I had unbuttoned it just enough to tease. My body still hadn't completely returned to its pre-baby shape, not that I had I tummy, I was way curvier than I was before I got pregnant. The w

    ZORDON'S POVZion was supposed to be napping.Instead, he was orchestrating what I could only describe as a chicken rebellion, armed with a stick, a feather, and a very serious scowl.I stood on the porch, arms folded, watching as my son attempted to "train" the chicks like miniature soldiers. They, in turn, had formed a sort of panicked flock and were darting around in circles while he shouted instructions that made no sense whatsoever."Line up, soldiers!" he barked, tripping over his own feet and landing in the mud with a giggle.Daisy gave her running after him and came to stand behind me, she sighed lovingly. "You should probably stop him before he declares war on the garden."I didn't move. "He needs to learn about leadership.""Zordon."I glanced at her over my shoulder. She was glowing, in that maddeningly beautiful way she always did when she was pregnant. Her hair was braided back from her face, her dress loose and light, and one hand was settled protectively over her belly.

  • STOLEN BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA   163: Three Years Later

    DAISY'S POVThree Years LaterZion was barefoot again.I could hear his laughter before I saw him, high and wild, the kind that only belonged to children who had never known fear. His little legs darted through the tall grass like he belonged to it. Thick, dark curls tangled in the wind, dirt streaked across his cheeks, and a dandelion stem stuck behind one ear."Zion!" I called, not really trying to stop him.He spun once, arms flung wide like wings, before he took off running again this time toward the coop. A dozen chicks scattered in every direction, their little peeps rising in alarm.Zordon stood on the porch, arms crossed over his chest, a familiar scowl tugging at his mouth. "That boy is menace to our livestock."I stepped up beside him, one hand resting on the curve of my belly, the other slipping into his. "They adore him.""They fear him.""They follow him," I said, leaning my head against his shoulder. "There's a difference."Zordon snorted but didn't argue. Instead, he ki

    DAISY'S POVA few nights later, the palace felt almost too quiet.Just the hush that comes when everyone else has gone to sleep, and you're left alone with your thoughts.Zordon lay beside me, already half-asleep. One arm was draped across me and our son, the weight of his hand warm and steady. He always slept that way now. Like he thought he could protect the baby even in dreams.I wasn't tired. Or maybe I was, but the exhaustion felt too big to settle. Like my body didn't know how to turn off yet. My brain kept replaying the day on a loop, our vows, the sound of the crowd, the gold circlet still pressing faintly into my forehead like it had left a mark.A crown. A child. A future I could barely begin to understand.Eventually, I drifted off. Not gradually. It was more like falling, like one blink and the world shifted beneath me.******I was standing in a field I'd never seen before.Moonlight poured from the sky like rain, so bright and clean it made everything shimmer. The grass

    DAISY'S POVThe forest had changed since the war, but only just.New green pushed up through old ash. Flowers bloomed where fire once scorched the earth. Trees whispered again, not in warning, just in welcome.Zordon and I walked hand in hand along the narrow path, the one we'd taken long ago when everything between us had been tension and doubt. Back then, I wasn't sure I believed in fate. I wasn't sure I believed in us.Now?His hand was warm in mine, steady and strong. My feet moved slower than they used to thanks to the weight I carried, but I didn't mind. The baby kicked every so often, reminding me that time was short. That soon, we'd be three."You're quiet," Zordon said softly, brushing a low-hanging branch out of my way."I'm thinking.""Dangerous."I gave him a sideways look, but I smiled. "What will we name him?"He paused. "I don't know. I thought you should do the honors, since you are the one who will birth him.""I see," I said, exhaling.The wind stirred through the le

  • STOLEN BY THE RUTHLESS ALPHA   160: The Ceremony

    DAISY'S POVThree days after Zordon proposed, I stood at the edge of Mooncliff Summit, dressed in white and shaking in my boots.Well, technically I was barefoot. The seamstress had tried heels, but I had nearly broken my ankle so we settled on soft, woven sandals that I'd kicked off somewhere near the top of the cliff. My feet pressed into the warm stone now, grounding me in a way nothing else could.I kept my hands over my belly, partly out of instinct, partly because it helped me breathe. The baby was quiet this morning. Still and peaceful. Maybe he sensed the magnitude of today. Maybe he was waiting, just like the rest of the world.Thousands had gathered below. Wolves from every surviving pack. Elders. Witches. Seers. Even some humans who knew of our existence. People who had once hated each other now stood side by side. I wasn't sure if it was unity or just exhaustion, but either way, they came.They came to see us.To see me.I still couldn't wrap my head around it.Zordon stoo

    DAISY'S POVThe morning after Luna Evelyn's visit arrived with golden sunlight and the smell of cinnamon drifting through the air.Zordon had already left the bed by the time I woke up. I stretched, my hand resting lightly on the curve of my belly. A quiet flutter reminded me that our little one was growing stronger every day.Slipping on a robe, I padded into the sunroom and stopped in my tracks.Zordon was there and he was shirtless, barefoot, and standing over a small table set for two on the balcony. Steam curled from two mugs. Plates of fruit, eggs, fresh bread, and that cinnamon I'd smelled were perfectly arranged. Wildflowers in a simple jar sat in the center."You cooked?" I asked, blinking in surprise.He shrugged. "I bribed someone to help. But I did stir the eggs."I laughed and moved toward him, kissing his cheek before sitting down.We ate slowly, talking about everything and nothing. For a while, it was just us again. No Luna Evelyn. No war. No titles."Come take a walk

    DAISY'S POVTwo months had passed since the war ended, yet the air still carried the scent of smoke and death.We had won. The bloodshed was over. But peace wasn't as quiet as I thought it would be. It pulsed beneath the surface like the earth was still bracing for another storm.Dexter's trial had finally ended. He sat alone in the depths of Pine Hollow, sealed away in a cell built for the worst of our kind. Silver-lined walls, enchanted locks, constant guard rotations. But the Council and the Pinewood people had chosen something far worse than death for him.He had been stripped of his wolf.The bond to the moon, the magic in his blood, the power that once made him Alpha, it was all gone. Just like that. No more shifting. No more heightened senses. No more pack. They carved the beast out of him and left only a man behind.And his sentence? To live as the man he truly was. Weak and cruel and hollow. Then I topped off his sentence by sending him to work in the very barracks he once se
