Chapter Two

SHANNON ~ POV

______________

When I and my mother strode into the immense living room, I couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed by the opulence of the decor. It was nothing like anything I had ever seen before, and I felt out of place in such a lavish setting.

I was extremely nervous, my palms were clammy, and my breath was shallow.

“Hey, breathe in and breathe out, everything will be fine, sweetheart,” My mother reassuringly squeezed my hand.

I inhaled and exhaled, trying to take a deep breath and relax.

Just then, a tall, silver-haired man, approached us. His aura was very powerful and intimidating.

Mom quickly leaned to me, and she whispered in my ear, “That’s alpha Robin of Blackmoon pack, he’s my mate, and now your stepfather.”

My eyes widened, and I became dumbfounded, as I realized that my mom was fated to be the most strongest and domineering alpha King.

“Welcome to my pack,” Alpha Robin said with a sincere smile. He gave my mother a peck on the cheek, and then turned to me.

I lowered my head, bowing in respect.

“And how are you doing, little one?” Alpha Robin asked me, a look of concern on his face as he gestured to my disheveled hair.

I bit my lip hard, I was nervous.

“Are you sure you’re all right?” Alpha Robin asked me again, his face worried.

I tried to give him a reassuring smile, but I must not have been very convincing, because my mother interjected.

“She’s been having some trouble at school,” she told him.

“Mom!” I tried to stop her, but she shook her head at me before facing Alpha Robin.

“The other students have been bullying her,” she added, and the Alpha’s expression darkened as my mother told him about the bullying I had been experiencing.

He was displeased and turned to me, “I promise you, that won’t be tolerated.” He said. “I assure you when they get to know you’re my stepdaughter, they won’t dare to bully you ever again because you’re now under my protection.”

“Thank you,” I said and bowed.

“Go on, wash up, and get some rest.” I felt a wave of relief wash over me, and I gave him a grateful smile before heading upstairs.

I suddenly felt pressed, and I hurried up the stairs threads, but as I opened the restroom door, I was greeted by a sight I was not expecting.

A young she-wolf was on her knees in front of a man, moaning, and thrusting her mouth deep into the guy’s shaft while he groaned pleasurably.

The air smelled of sex.

“Moon goddess!” I gasped, unable to believe my eyes.

The guy looked up and saw me standing in the doorway, prompting my face to flush with embarrassment as he asked.

“Wanna join us?” A smirk played on his lips.

As much as he was sinfully handsome, I felt sick to the stomach when he asked such a perverted offer.

I quickly shut the bathroom door and raced back to the living room, my face flushed.

I returned back to the living room, and just then I saw a man barging in, shouting angrily.

He charged directly toward my mother, his face twisted with rage, I gasped with alarm.

But before he could reach her, another enormous figure roughly seized him, holding him back with an iron grip.

It was Alpha Robin, and he was not happy.

“Let me go, Father!” the guy roared, gnarling, but Alpha Robin clutched him on the spot.

His son struggled against his hold, but the Alpha’s strength was too much for him.

“What is the meaning of this, Cole?” he demanded, his voice low and dangerous.

Cole ruffled himself out of his father’s hold, and his eyes narrowed as he took in the scene before him.

He looked displeased, then I figured out why he was being belligerent; his father, the Alpha, was introducing a new Luna to the pack. He was not comfortable to see another woman taking his mother’s place.

Cole’s eyes were full of rage as he addressed his father. “You think you can replace my mother?” he snarled.

“This woman is my mate,” Alpha Robin replied, his voice calm but firm. “I will not have you harm her. If you do, I will have you banished from the pack.”

“Father!” Cole’s eyes widened in shock, and then they landed on me.

He scowled indifferently, his anger flaring once more. “As for you, I’ll deal with you later,” he said, his voice a low, deadly whisper.

A cold shiver broke down my spine, I felt the hair on my skin stand.

A young man hurried down the stairs, taking up a position between Robin and Cole. I realized with a start that this was the same guy I had seen in the restroom with the she-wolf.

When his eyes briefly glanced at me, I blushed awkwardly and looked away.

“What is going on, father?” he asked. “Why are you fighting Jules over these dirty rogues?” he asked, his voice furious.

I was stunned by his harsh words, It turned out that he was Robin’s second son, Jules.

Alpha Robin’s eyes flashed with anger. “They are not dirty rogues,” he said, his voice low and controlled. “They are members of this pack, and I will not tolerate any disrespect toward them.”

The air was unsettled. It was becoming suffocating that I find it hard to breathe.

Alpha Robin added sternly, “They are our new family, a part of us. Myra is my fated mate, and as such, her daughter is your stepsister.”

“Stepsister?!” Jules and Cole's expression shifted from anger to shock.

Their eyes landed on me.
