" 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?AVA'S POVKael thought I only realized that I'm his mate through his conversation with Jayden.Unfortunately, no.I've always had my wolf with me; no one knows cause it's a fulfillment of my mother's last wish. I could still vividly remember how she pleaded with me to hide my wolf away from the eyes of many.My wolf didn't vanish; I restricted my ability to shift into my wolf form.That night, I wouldn't have given myself to Kael if he wasn't my mate, I was willing to give him my first night because he's my mate, but his sudden behavior wasn't what I expected, I didn't even imagine we could meet again. However, I never realized he was the Alpha King. Sooner or later, he would find out that I'm not wolfless; he's exactly the force and backing I need for revenge. I didn't know about the outcome of our relationship but it didn't matter as long as I got revenge.Revenge.For my mother. The woman who blindly fell for a man who didn't deserve her, the woman who was willing to sacrifice eve
AUTHOR'S POV “Kael,” Ava began, clearing her throat softly. “We… we need to talk about that night.” “That night? What about that night?” He smirked, “I thought we had talked about that night, Ava. Extensively. ”“No, we didn't,” she insisted. “Not that part of the night. Not the part where you… we… You know.” Her cheeks flushed in embarrassment."Then what part?"Ava took a deep breath; this was the moment. “You were there,” she stated, “You were working. As a bartender."“Ava,” he finally said, his voice gentle, “I was not a bartender.”Her jaw dropped, "What? But… but you were! I saw you! You were wiping down the counter, pouring drinks for people, you even gave me a drink." Her cheeks heat up as the memory of her drunken state came back to her mind, and she stopped speaking."You're right about that." His smile deepened.“But you are quite mistaken about my profession that night, little one.”“It is one of my many hideouts and often… a good place to gather information, or simply t
KAEL'S POV "Selena!" I exclaimed in frustration. I finally had time to talk things out with Ava, and she was here to ruin it all, the wonderful moment we could have had if she hadn't interrupted.Selena stood in front of the door, arms folded, back against the wall." Selena, what?" She retorted, and I detached myself from Ava's embrace." Leave Selena," I commanded, but I knew how adamant Selena could be, she wouldn't back down, at least not easily." Leave? No, I should introduce myself to the new toy around." Selena commented while Ava just watched both of us exchange words." I'm Selena, and I'm his chosen mate and future Luna of this pack. I'm also the strongest warrior in the pack, and we have been together since we were kids, which implies that we are childhood sweethearts." Selena introduced herself to Ava, and I stared at her with my mouth wide open.I never for once realized that I was childhood sweethearts with Selena, not until she said we were, and that's Selena, so ful
I woke up to a new day after being unconscious on my first day in Kael's house. Kael never visited me for once when I regain consciousness. His hatred reached such heights.The door opened, and I closed my eyes in fear, pretending to still be unconscious, expecting it to be KaelBut it wasn't Kael. If it were, my wolf would have been restless and excited.Could it really have been Kael? I thought.Kael would never check up on me, he doesn't care whether I'm alive or dead. It was Jayden.Kael's Beta. He always had this pity look on, gentle and soft, in terms of facial appearance, he wasn't inferior to Kael. How great would it have been if he were my mate? But the moon goddess in her grace and unquestionable power, chose the almighty Kael for me.He walked closer to the bed on which I lay. “Ava?” He called out to me. “Are you…Are you alright?”It's been a while since someone asked me this question; the last person who did was my one-time caring one-night stand now my mate and master .

He was barely of age, his dark hair was a mess, eager and bright eyes.Graham chuckled softly. He sat on his favorite old leather armchair, a steaming mug cradled between his calloused hands."
