" You think you can run away from me? In your wildest dreams." A cold smile formed on his lips and every word he uttered exuded power. " Done it once and would do it over again with every breath in me." She replied fearlessly and daringly. A night with her was all it took for him to get insanely obsessed. Her?... She is the discarded daughter of Alpha Rowan, the Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack, wolfless at 21, no friends since age 1. She's strikingly attractive, enough to make every guy lose his composure. Her curves? It's a definition of perfection. She is Ava Kate. Him?... He is the youngest Alpha King that was ever recorded history, strong, fearful and powerful. He is the moon that glows in the night, appealing but unreachable. He is Alpha Kael Deluca, Alpha of the Blackwood Pack, Ava's worst nightmare. He is her demon and she is his angel,he is a sinner and she is his redemption, He is her poison and she is his antidote. He has chosen a mate but she is his fated mate.

"Honestly, Ava, do you think they know it's your birthday?" My subconscious mind spoke every word a dagger to my wounded heart,"even if they do what difference will it make?" I pressed my face deeper into the pillow which has entertained lot of my sorrowful tears. Twenty one, twenty one years of breathing, of existence in this magnificent yet cruelly cold house, and tonight, like every other night, I remained invisible. Forgotten. My own birthday is a joke even though it's on the Pack's moonlight party Downstairs in the pack house, the music throbbed. Laughter, bright and beautiful faces, colourful attires, heavy face makeup, enviable relationships was the logo of the day. Everyone dressed for the attention. The scent of expensive perfumes and aroma of various delicacies drifted up the stairs. A view of a world I was forbidden to touch. My father, the Alpha would be down there, the jovial host whose daughter lives in an attic. What an irony! I needed, needed, to feel something other than this crushing burden in a suffocating atmosphere. I would sneak out. Just for this night. Just once. To breathe air that wasn't full of neglect. To ease the pain of my title, " The Pack's outcast." Clothed in a simple flower petal design short gown I had purchased from the thrift store. The only treasurable cloth I could ever afford. I slipped out of the house, out for adventure, out for the night's warmth. How I slipped out of the house? Typical moonlight party. Chaotic was the word for it. No one noticed I did. The bar, " Night.", wasn't really the soothing embrace I needed to calm the waves in my head. The deafening music, flashing decorative glittery lights and the pungent aroma of cheap alcohol assaulted my nostrils. Bodies swirling round the dance floor, a sea of faces both familiar and terrifyingly alien. The chilling reminder of my status, " An illegitimate daughter." I had many titles, the infamous me. An exchanged status. The devastating reality behind the "luxurious" world I was claimed to have been born into. I sat on the empty seat in front of the bartender, at least there was still a bit of sanity right there. Right there stood the bartender, a man who possessed an unnerving stillness amidst the chaos of the loud music and clumsy dances. His molten gold eyes locked with mine. The intensity of his gaze was an unavoidable force, a magnetic pull that held me captive. "What can I get for you?" His voice low but deep sent shivers down my spine. The tiny movements of his lips was captivating, a sight to behold. " Just...water." I stuttered, he raised his sculptured eyebrows, a flicker of amusement was indicated on his face." Water? in a place like this?" " Rough day?" He asked audibly. " Yea, rough day I guess," I nodded and took a deep breath. His eyes never left mine for a second,". Care to share?" "Hmmm." I hesitated. "My family forgot my birthday." My words felt pathetic but he didn't laugh. He didn't pity. His eyes still locked on mine, held a flicker of something... Understanding? " Whiskey won't be bad." He replied after a lot of deep stares One... Two... Three and seven bottles down. " You are so handsome, if only you could be my mate." I uttered, my mind in a mess. I traced my fingertips down his cheek bones, so we'll defined, so smooth, so soft. A little down to his Adam's apple, his hand had caught me halfway, a motion to restrain myself. " Are you capable enough?" He chuckled, his voice husky, maybe that wasn't what he said, maybe something related. My vision is blurred and my ears aren't any better. " I haven't done this before." I admitted, the words rolling out of my mouth before I could stop them. " Then let me make your first time memorable." If nothing, I saw that quick smile on his face, a flash of radiating beauty. "In a bar?" I questioned with fear as I scanned through the entire bar, men with their sluts in naked dresses. Never In the glimpse of an eye, I was in his arms, I bit my lips nervously but this man had other plans, the crashed his lips on mine and I gasped in surprise, it gave him a free entry. He sucked every part of my lip and the more for his touch. He carried me into a secluded place, a private room where only faint music sounds could be heard. The night dissolved into series of exercise, short but adventurous. **** I woke up startled. The same nightmare that haunts me for 7 years since my mother's death and each time it keeps getting scarier and it terrifies me deeply. An unsettled feeling washed over me but that wasn't all. On my left wrist was a mark. A dark tattoo, a design of twisted branch of thorns encircling a single, perfect rose. It was a tattoo impossibly detailed and there was no way I could have possibly gotten it. Panic seized me. I had no memory of getting it. A I stared deeply at the strange mark, I tried to stretch but my body was so numb that stretching felt like I was been strangled to death. The image of last night flashed through my mind. I blushed. My body is still sore from pain and the perpetrator ran off. Neglected on my first night, that's expected of an outcast, he must have found out. Who would want me? But then again the thought of the strange tattoo. What had I done?KAEL'S POVI watched as they all made worthless bids on her."Claim her." My wolf urged." Twenty million coins."Silence. Absolute silence. Every head in the room turned to me, whispers erupting. The Alpha King. King Kael. The recognition, the fear.She was worth more than being with this hungry wolves.The auctioneer, momentarily stunned, stammered, "twenty…twenty million ! Going once… going twice… Sold! To the Alpha King!" He proclaimed."Bring her," I commanded, my voice flat.One of my hefty guards moved forward to drag her. She flinched as he grabbed her arms. "Careful," I warned. There was no gentleness in my tone, only a warning not to damage my property. They released her, pushing her forward. She stumbled towards me, her legs weak, her eyes still glued to mine as if I was an enemy."Walk closely behind," I ordered. She obeyed, though her steps were hesitant, her body trembling.Jayden was waiting outside, his expression full of disapproval. He had followed me, . "Kael," he b
AVA'S POV"Please," I pleaded. My limbs were numb, my body a gallery of bruises. My sore fingertips traced the strange mark on my left wrist. The memory of the previous hours trooped in. That morning...that morning after my birthday. I tiptoed into the house through the back door of our house. My head was beating drums, the consequences of my careless drinking. I hugged my arms around myself, trying to appear nonchalant, as if I hadn't spent the night in a bar all curled up with a total stranger, a bartender. Shame burned my cheeks. I’d barely managed to slip inside when a mocking voice broke the peaceful morning . “Well, well, Who do we have here?” My heart sank. My stepsister, Nina , stood in the hallway, her arms crossed, a smirk twisting on her not so pretty face. My stepmother, Kasha, emerged from behind, wiping her hands looks like she just had a party in the kitchen. She was wet with sweat. The dignified Luna tried cooking, I bet the entire Kitchen has been given a make
KAEL'S POV"Reject her and you reject us." My wolf snarled.I slammed my fist hard against my study desk. " Silence!" I commanded my wolf, though the word was barely audible even to my own ears. It has been a constant headache since my encounter with our fated mate.Fated mate.The very words tasted like ash in my mouth. A Luna needed to be strong and resilient for the pack. She needed to exude power, command respect and lead thousands of warriors at ease. And my fated mate? A daughter, abandoned and wolfless, cast out from her birthright. How could she protect the pack, stand by my side in battle or command the respect of the elders and the entire pack? It was an insult to my lineage, to my pack. It was a weakness.I pushed back my chair. The study room, a sanctuary of power, felt like a cage. Bookshelves filled with ancient texts lined the walls, maps of territories, old battle strategies and pack histories."A Luna who can inspire, not merely exist," I muttered to the empty room. "
