“The sight of you irks me!” He growled in her face, hatred, and desire mixing up to become one single but tormenting emotion. Timidly, she stuttered, “I’ll stay out of sight, My King–” “Did I ask you to do that?” He seethed, closing the small gap between their bodies. “What do you want then!” She retorted, equally frustrated. “I want you dammit!” He roared, grabbing her arms. “I want to hate you and I do hate you but fuck do I want to devour you till you can’t take any more of me.” **************** Haylee Smith, a nineteen-year-old who had never known peace since she was born was given to the cruel Alpha King by her destined mate after he chose, mated, and impregnated her dubious twin sister. Haylee was still bleeding from the wound of betrayal but she was given a second chance mate in the Alpha King. Alpha King Xalen, a ruthless twenty-seven-year-old, was still mourning his late wife and mother of his kids when he found out that the moon goddess had given him another mate– a slave– to be discovered at his beloved wife’s funeral. What a sick game of fate! A new mate at his ex-mate’s funeral! Hell did break loose but so did uncontrollable passion. Find out more in the pages of this book.

“I’m pregnant with your child, Alpha Jett.”
The world as I knew it froze at that moment. My eyes widened and my breaths became shallow as shock and undefinable emotions coursed through my body, replacing the initial excitement and hope that I was feeling.
This can’t be h-hapening… This should never happen.
Those words shouldn’t be coming out of my sister’s mouth… her eyes shouldn’t be glinting like that for goddess’s sake!
She was my twin sister and–
“You’ve got to be kidding me.” Alpha Jett’s voice cut through the thick layer of my thoughts.
If I weren’t looking at his face, I would think he was mad about my twin sister’s announcement but the twinkle in his eyes. He was happy. My twin sister just announced that she was carrying his child before everyone in the pack during a party meant to celebrate my nineteenth birthday…
A party I believed would be used to crown me Luna of Cresent Moon Pack because a year ago, on my eighteenth birthday, I discovered that Alpha Jett was my destined mate.
So yes, My twin sister, who grew up showering with all the love my dad could give, just told the entire pack that she was carrying my destined mate’s child.
Kaylee, my supposed sister responded with the biggest smile I had ever seen her wear, “I’m not kidding, Alpha Jett. I have our baby in my womb and I thought this party would be a–”
Before Kaylee could complete her statement, my so-called mate who I had been living with for the past year, who wouldn’t touch me or even complete the mate bond with me, swept Kaylee off her feet and swirled her.
“You’ve made me the happiest man, Kaylee.” My mate– Alpha Jett chuckled, completely oblivious to the fact that I was shaking right there… that I was standing in the same hall with him.
They were killing me and even though I had known Kaylee to be a selfish daughter of a bastard, I didn’t expect that she would do this to me.
Shakily, I blurted, my voice almost unheard, “W-what’s going on? Is this some kind of birthday prank?”
I mean, it has to be a prank right?
Kaylee and I don’t even look alike. We were fraternal twins which was why my dad loved her and hated me because I was a replica of the woman who left him after we were born. Alpha Jett couldn’t have mistook her for me… Heck, he wouldn’t expect me to be pregnant not when he hasn’t seen me naked.
“Oh, Haylee.” Kaylee pouted just as Alpha Jett carefully placed her feet on the floor. “Why would anyone want to prank you? You don’t matter around here, sister.”
Unapologetic.
That was Kaylee.
She had never been sorry, not when she lied to our father that I broke his favorite mug when we were seven, knowing full well that she did it and wouldn’t have been punished if she told the truth. She knew I would be beaten and starved, yet she lied and I got the regular dose of abuse from my dad that day.
I could go on and on about the kind of life I had lived with Kaylee and our dad before I had to move in with Alpha Jett a year ago. I thought finding my mate would be an escape but I had never been more wrong. Clearly.
Like always, I tried to ignore my sister as I dragged my feet to Alpha Jett and asked, “This is a joke, right? It’s my birthday and you are going to make me Luna. It’s why you threw this big party, right?”
My eyes searched Alpha Jett’s, pleading with him with every fiber in my body.
However, he looked me dead in the face and broke the rest of my fractured soul, “I threw the party for Kaylee, Hay. This party is for her and you are only here because she asked me to let you come. She mentioned she had a news to share and–”
“Are you listening to yourself right now!” I screamed, crying my heart out. “You are my mate and she is my twin sister! This can’t be happening. This shouldn’t be happening–”
“Watch your tone, woman!” Alpha Jett barked at me, his glare hot on my face. “You stopped being my mate a year ago. You’ve never been my mate, in fact. Kaylee has always been and she has been the one I have been with for over a year–”
I shook my head, not wanting to believe all the crap he was spewing. “Kaylee has a mate. She found her mate a year ago and–”
Kaylee hissed, “Stop acting like a victim, Haylee. Aren’t you tired of living like that? You know my destined mate rejected me because of you!”
My twin sister accused me sternly.
My teary eyes searched the faces of the people in the grand hall, looking for the familiar face of Kaylee’s mate, the only friend I had ever had in a pack full of people who had bullied and looked down on me even though my father was one of the powerful officials. But I couldn’t find Leo anywhere.
I saw my father though. He simply stood right there, watching his favorite daughter take my mate.
“If you are looking for him, I have him locked up. No one rejects Kaylee Smith and goes scott-free. As soon as Jett crowns me Luna tonight, I’ll make sure he lives the rest of his life in torment.” Kaylee said to me, hatred sizzling in her eyes.
“Leo. L-leo–” I uttered breathlessly, my mind struggling to wrap itself around the whole mess my life had once again become. “You can’t be Luna. You can’t be pregnant–”
Kaylee stepped closer, brought her lips to my ear, and whispered, “This is all your fault, Haylee. If Leo hadn’t rejected me because he is in love with you, I wouldn’t have gone after your mate who is more powerful than your spineless Leo. You want to blame anyone? Then blame yourself, Hay.”
My twin sister looked into my eyes as she muttered, “Your mate is good for me. Good in bed and I’ll be a Luna– a title Leo would never be able to give me. Plus we all know you will make a terrible Luna. After all, you are a terrible daughter and sister. You–”
Rage crackled in the depths of my soul. The kind that I had never felt before in my nineteen years of living as the hated daughter, mistreated sister, and untouched mate. It took over my body faster than I could imagine.
My hands shot out like they grew a mind of their own and since I stood a few inches taller than my pretty sister, it was easy to grab her shiny black hair, pull her head backward, and use my free hand to smack the rest of her words out of her mouth.
I saw red.
I saw blood.
I saw my reality and I hated it.
And for the first time since Kaylee has been making my life a living hell, I lost control of my bottled emotions and stood up for myself.
However, my actions against the favored daughter and chosen mate came with consequences that kept me alive but made me wish for death.HAYLEE~~“Hell no!”I didn’t know how long it took me to say those two words and break the silence that had settled over the room.I noticed how Sophia and Asher looked my way with sad eyes. To them, Lexie taking my place sounded pleasing because it was no big deal as long as I was safe. However, it was a different case for me.Kaylee took my place, and I would be damned if I let another sister, whether I knew her or not, do the same and die on me.“Haylee, please. Don’t be emotional now—” Lexie began.But I cut her off by raising my finger. I let my eyes shift to Sophia and Asher before my trembling lips stretched to form a convincing smile. “You guys have nothing to worry about, okay? I’m not leaving or dying because I know I have to be here for you.”“You promise?” Asher asked breathlessly, his red, teary eyes piercing into my soul.“I promise, Ash,” I responded, even though I didn’t know what the future held for me. “So stay calm and go play with your friends in the lounge.”“I
HAYLEE~~I didn’t notice my mate’s absence until the next afternoon. Yes, I was that interested in everything Lexie had to say, which was a lot.If I were interested in writing, I would have written more than three books from Lexie’s tales, even though she was just sixteen years old. The only time she stopped talking was when we all fell asleep, and when I say all, I mean Lexie, Aradia, and me.We all spent the night in Aradia’s suite… on the same bed.Although I remember saying goodnight to Roy and Flavia when they left the suite last night, not once did I think about the fact that the kids were alone at home because I believed Xalen was with them.That belief remained until Sophia and Asher ran into the suite that afternoon, yelling, “You left us alone in that big house!”The accusation in their voices was sharp, and so was the hot glare they fixed on the center of my face. I was snapped out of the moment I was having with Lexie and our mom when I heard the familiar voice, and the
ALPHA KING XALEN~~“That seems like a waste of time,” Theo gruffed as I walked away from Allison, whose words had shoved me further into the dark state of dilemma.I couldn’t disagree or agree with my wolf because I was very confused. Lexie might be untrustworthy, but so was Allison. Although I could sense the intense hate she harbored towards Lexie, I wasn’t certain I could trust that hate.“But she was also telling the truth,” Theo said to me. “We could sense that as well.”“Yes, but do not forget that even Lexie was telling the truth from what we could sense,” I reminded my wolf, pulling him into my confusion. Theo went silent after that, thinking about our situation, but I blurted, “Let’s head to the prison and see if Wyatt has made any progress with Richard.”“Hmm hmm,” Theo agreed. “Hopefully, we will get clarity there.”I held onto that hope as I raced to the prison because I couldn’t bear to stay away from Haylee for much longer. My heart kept racing because I knew she coul
Princess Allison’s POV ~~“Tell me all I need to know about your younger sister, Lexie.”Those were the last words I expected to hear from Alpha King Xalen. My sister’s name was the last I expected to hear, which is why I failed to hide my surprise.“Lexie?” I breathed out in shock.“Hmm mm.” King Xalen murmured, his gaze fixed on me as if he was trying to see through me or something.Several questions swirled through my fuzzy mind at that moment, but only one made it past my lips: “H-how do you know her?”King Xalen’s gaze locked onto me, his jaw tightening as he leaned forward slightly. “I am asking the questions, Allison,” he said, his voice like a low chime of steel. The weight of his stare pressed down, and a cold shiver snaked down my spine, as if I could feel the threat behind his words.Who was I kidding? I could feel more than his unspoken threats.I swallowed the fear his mere presence was pumping into my soul, trying my best to calm my nerves despite my shaky fingers. “L
ALPHA KING XALEN~~“We are playing a dangerous game, my king.” My Gamma breathed stiffly even after the crowd dispersed. Wyatt’s eyes lingered on the healer's building where Lexie had entered with Haylee and Aradia, and he added, “We just let a potential threat step into our most vulnerable building.”Roy’s eyes twitched as he gruffly agreed with Wyatt, “We could be setting a fire on our roof, Xalen.”My Gamma and Beta didn’t allow us to move to a secluded place before they began to share their opinions, and maybe they were right. However, did they hear Lexie’s story? Did they listen to the poor girl talk?For goodness’ sake, she was just sixteen years old.“I know that look.” Roy sighed, patting my shoulder even though his face remained unreadable. “You believe she is telling the truth, and that’s okay.”My brows furrowed because I didn’t expect Roy to give up on his beliefs easily. “It is?”“Yes, it is okay to believe that Richard’s daughter, who might be the backup plan, is inno
HAYLEE~~Was I feeling bad for my rash reaction to Lexie’s whole existence?Huh, maybe—who was I kidding? What I felt was more than bad. The more she spoke, the more I realized that I had nothing to be jealous about. After all, she had fought her fair share of battles, and getting to know her mom, our mom, might just be the trophy she had been fighting for.“Don’t be deceived easily, Haylee.” Liya still snarled as she sent that warning into my mind. “Her words mean nothing until you can confirm them. Don’t forget she will be fully prepared to break yours and Aradia’s defenses because she is Richard’s daughter and Allison’s sister. No saint comes out of that family.”Perhaps my wolf was right.But she was leaving out the part where Vivina carried a part of Aradia within her… a part that represented light even though she was related to Richard and Allison.“Just be careful.” Liya pressed.Before I could say a word to my wolf, Vivina continued speaking, tears pouring out of her faster
