“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.

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.Princess Allison’s POV ~~If I saw the nightmare having breakfast with the family, I desired to be a part of it, even though every member of that family hated me; I ignored her.Haylee had proven to be my nightmare. The wall I stumbled upon each time I found a way to get myself out of the mess my life had become. Sadly, Haylee had remained a constant, and I didn’t see how I would get rid of her.Not anymore.I have tried killing her. I tried framing her. I tried making everyone hate her. Heck! What more was I supposed to do?“Why is she so indestructible? Who the hell is she?” Nala growled within me as I stormed out of the palace, eyes searching the compound and nose inhaling the air to find the bastard that renewed my hope.He should have left me to rot in defeat or at least let me figure this out on my own instead of using his silly tricks. Silly, futile tricks!“This is getting out of hand, Nala.” I whimpered to my wolf, walking aimlessly around the pack after I exited the palac
Princess Allison’s POV ~~I wasn’t there, but I heard the celebration. It was earthshaking, so who in the pack wouldn’t hear or feel it? Even though I didn’t join the celebration, the rumors of what led to such happiness reached me within the next hour. Since Benita was dead, I have been assigned another servant, even though I wasn’t welcomed in the palace. No one made me feel welcome, but I didn’t care because I trusted fake Jose’s plan to work just fine. I mean, it has been working for the past week. I thought nothing could change the outcome until my new servant came to my bedroom with breakfast. “What’s the noise about, Orla?” I asked the sweet girl who had replaced Benita. Although she was no Benita, she had been serving me with respect since she became my servant.“There’s no noise, Princess Allison,” Orla answered, staring straight into my eyes for the first time since she started serving me. My brows furrowed as I took the tray of food from her. I clarified my question,
HAYLEE~~Saying I was relieved would be an understatement of the century; I was overwhelmed with elation, a surge of joy that went beyond mere relief. The sound of joy and the promise of a better future were enough reasons for me to be happy.And I was.But at the same time, I was worried. Or maybe it was fear because I wasn’t sure I could live up to the pack’s expectations. The same expectations that I had infused into their minds when I said these words to them:“I promise to be a queen who leaves marks—marks that will remain unerasable throughout history.”Even after the small celebration that happened after my coronation was scheduled, I still couldn’t figure out how those words made their way out of my mouth. It was as if a part of me I never knew existed voiced those words… a part of me that was awakened when the pack openly accepted me.“You’ve always wanted to be accepted,” Liya chimed into my mind as I walked back to the bedroom with Xalen, who was grinning from ear to ear
ALPHA KING XALEN~~Mornings and nights have become my favorites. I wake up to Haylee in the morning and share breakfast with the family before facing the rest of the world. And at night, I get to leave the chaos behind, return to my loved ones, and fall asleep with Haylee in my arms.But today, this cherished morning had to end earlier than usual. In that moment, I worried it would be yet another tough day for my mate and me.“It’s Roy. You might want to see this,” my cousin’s voice boomed through the room before I could even open the door.Sophia and Asher had been hanging on me as I stood there, but as soon as they saw Roy, they jumped on him instead, giving me a moment to compose myself after the strenuous dancing and singing.“You call that singing? Haylee calls it a sound. A bad sound,” Theo mocked me through the link.Roy’s cry for help snapped me out of it. “Can you get one of them off me? I’m not a father yet, and this is pure torture.”“More like practice, brother,” I quip
HAYLEE~~I cried my heart out to sleep last night. I was sad after the meeting with Kaylee, and even though Flavai tried to console me, I couldn’t shake off the mood. I thought sleeping early would help me relax, and I yearned to reach out to Aradia so we could talk.Before I went to bed, Jodie was cranky, and she wouldn’t stop crying until I carried her. I didn’t know when I fell asleep with her in my arms, but it was a good sleep. It was as if she was crying to reach me so she could comfort me, even though other people had failed to do so.Jodie just happened to be my little comforter.That was the first thought that came to mind as I slipped out of the sleep realm that morning. Although I didn’t get to connect with Aradia, I woke up feeling less sad, and I didn’t understand why until my eyes fluttered open and instantly connected with Xalen’s happy eyes.“Good morning, sleeping beauty.” Xalen’s voice and love rushed into my mind as he spoke through our mate bond.His eyes twinkl
ALPHA KING XALEN~~In that moment, my pack members got their priorities right. I could feel it in my bones, yet I added, “Protesting to have Haylee punished for being a good person caught in the middle of bad ones or evil would mean you are ready to have Alpha Richard as your Alpha and King.”To clarify, I added, “Yes, I will stop being your Alpha and give the pack to him. He and his family will lead you, and just like now, when they commit a crime or treat you unjustly, you won’t be able to prove it. Even if you can, the court will be against you, and your fellow pack members will wage war against you until you die in silence or get killed despite your innocence.”For a few minutes, I didn’t utter another word. I needed everything I had said to sink into the hundreds of minds listening to me.After a while, I continued, “I would be lying if I said I hadn’t thought about leaving after I found out that Laura was used against me. I wanted to give up because I was tired of losing ever
ALPHA KING XALEN~~After many hours of secret meetings with the ten elders who had come forward to take an oath of loyalty, I thought to check on my mate before moving on to speak to every member of the pack.She has been on my mind all day, and I worry about her.However, I knew I had to get this done before going to Haylee so I could give her my full attention. With that thought in mind, I shoved my desire to see her to the depth of my stomach, looking around my empty office as I opened my mind to every member of the Royal Pack, creating a general link so everyone could hear me.Everyone but the little kids under the age of thirteen.My pack members' curiosity could be felt through the link I created, but since I was their Alpha, that feeling wasn’t overwhelming. I could control it.I breathed into their minds, “Good evening, members of the Royal Pack. As you can tell, it’s your Alpha and King, and this is a general message for all of you.”I managed to calm my nerves, sealing my
HAYLEE~~“He would never have loved me if I didn't force him to. Hell, he is tolerating me because of what I know. Even now, he doesn't love me.” Kaylee smiled sadly.Her eyes were on me, and her sadness burned through the protective layer of my skin.I wished I could tell her that wasn't the truth, but at this moment, I knew nothing.“He would have loved you more than he loved me because he loved your mom more than he loved mine,” Kaylee stated, her voice blunt with no emotion. “Maybe if I didn't make him hit you, he would have felt love for you instead of the guilt I know he carries in his heart.”It was hard to believe Kaylee was the reason I got beaten. I mean, yes, I have always known she lied to our dad just to watch me suffer, but it was hard to believe she asked him to, and he did.Leverage or not, it doesn't feel right.Kaylee continued on that path, though, saying, “I couldn't let that happen, so I ruined his chances with you, threatening him every day so he couldn't hurt
HAYLEE~~Would I have turned evil and mean if I’d found out that my dad cheated on my mom when I was five years old?I asked myself that before I heard the rest of Kaylee’s story, and my answer was no.But if I had waited until she finished, I believe my answer would have been different.“Like all lying assholes, Dad didn't tell my mom that he cheated on her. And even though she felt the pain when he did the deed with your mom, he denied it and blamed her pregnancy for everything, saying it was just an early sign,” Kaylee breathed, adjusting her position on the floor where she’d sat since she entered the room.I let her continue without interrupting. I noticed tears trickling down her face, her inner child weeping as her heart was broken all over again. I could only imagine the pain Kaylee felt when our drunken father confessed all this to her.And for her to remember it so vividly—that must have hurt so much that she buried it deep in her mind.“My mom believed his lies, but the t
