“I Carter Reed,heir of Alpha Thorn Reed of the red moon pack, reject you, luana smith of the crimson pack as my mate”.

His eyes burning with anger and hatred. A loud ear piercing scream escaped my mouth as I scrambled to the floor, legs very weak, almost limp from the pain of his rejection.

My breath seized. Tears poured, almost blinding me as I felt the worst pain on my shoulder bone he marked me.

This day was supposed to be special. The day I exchanged vows with my long love, my boyfriend,Carter. I had gotten to the location of the wedding hoping to start a new life with Carter only to find out that he was getting married to someone else, not just anyone, it was my sister!.

The disgust was evident on his face when he looked up at me. His eyes that I got lost in used to hold so much love. Carter and I have been together for years before he asked me to marry him. He was the son of the alpha of the red moon pack.

He wasn't my mate but I loved him anyway. It was hard to find mates in our world, more like they don't exist so we go for whoever we fall in love with. He had marked me willingly. I thought it was forever, never thought for once he would reject our bond someday like he never loved me.

I shivered, my lips trembling “What's my offense? I asked looking at his cold face ”why cause me so much pain?.

He clenched his fists, anger and rage visible in his once loving eyes, “you whore! You betrayed me, you're a murderer, you dare not call me a betrayal! Everything has been falling apart ever since you came into my world!.

His words were like a stab to my heart.

My mum died while giving birth to me. So I was labelled bad luck, a murderer, bad things seemed to happen in my pack upon my presence. Even though I was just a child, they didn't mind. Instead they threw me out and disowned me, no one spared me , no one .

A touch from behind brought me out of my thoughts. It was Maria, my foster mother, she took care of me when everyone left me. She made sure I lacked nothing down to my education through a little pharmacy she managed. I have gained enough ideas and insight about medicine and herbal drugs by helping run and take care of the pharmacy.

“Luana” she called softly, let it slide, you will be seen as the bad one if you try to stop them. She cared, unlike the others.

“A murderer?” Thought you were different from the others! You claimed to love me, you said nothing could ever fade your love for me, what changed?” I asked, tears blurring my view.

“Can't you see luana! My life has been a mess ever since I met you, everyone despises me now. It won't be possible for me to become the next alpha if I get married to you. You're wolfless!”

The crowd gasped in shock as I slapped him.

“I can't believe you said that loud enough for everyone to hear even after knowing the reason that happened.

I had lost my wolf in a tough battle. Everyone hated me including my so-called dad. I had to gain his attention and trust, so I joined the pack soldiers, it wasn't easy but with the help of my wolf and Maria I was able to get hold of a position as a low ranked soldier. At first I didn't figure out dad's reason for letting me join the soldiers but after the battle that almost took my life, I understood that my choice was of benefit to him, he never cared about me anyways.

Everything was working well until that fateful battle that took her away from me.

We were stabbed with 10 spares poisoned with silver, more on her lower belly. Nobody came to our rescue.

“Laura! No! Please stay with me” I begged

“Stay alive”. Those were her last words to me before she died. I have been living with guilt ever since then.

She died because of me! She could have survived but she chose to save me with her last breath.

I survived and lived because of her but then the loneliness I felt was out of this world.

“If you would excuse Luana, she is not in the right state of mind now” my sister Michelle announced. This is such a happy day for me and my family and I want everyone to be happy with us too and not sad.

“Wow, she's such an angel, so kind and considerate” I can't believe they're sisters.

“Everyone cheer for our soon to be bride and Luna, Michelle! The crowd cheered like she was some kind of celebrity.

Maria shook her head “if only they knew the kind of person she was behind closed doors, if only they knew how wicked and heartless she was to her sister whenever they crossed part.

The wedding commenced, the rituals were performed, I watched as the man I once loved exchanged vows with my sister, smiles beaming on their faces as they swapped rings. My heart ached , “will I ever have such a fate?”

Dad came up to the wedding floor and blessed the couple as required. Planting a peck on Michelle's face then hugged her afterwards. He never cared about me in such a manner, “would he ever care ?”

Maria held me “I'm sorry this is happening to you my daughter, if I knew things would turn out this way I wouldn't have brought you here. I never knew their hatred could go this far” she said, looking at me with concern.

“I have ensured a lot for so long, I don't think I can bear it anymore”

I stared at Carter. He was smiling at the camera man, no remorse.

“Let's go home Maria; I can't stand this anymore” I need something to calm me down, I need rest. She gave a quiet nod.

“Let's go,” she said. A few steps out of the door Ryan blocked our way.

“Your dad demands your presence in his study,” he said.

    “…reasons. I wish you hadn’t gone against them because of me. You would have to face the Council now.”My voice faded into a whisper as my jaw tightened, my gaze dropping once more. The weight of it all pressed heavily on my chest—every consequence, every mistake.“It’s all because of my bad luck. Nothing good ever comes from staying around me,” I murmured. “I believe it’s better if I stay away from you.”The words felt final, like a wall I was forcing into place between us.But then—My breath caught.My heart leapt into my throat as I felt his hand gently tug mine back. Before I could react, he lifted it, guiding it toward his face. His lips brushed softly against my knuckles, sending a strange, electric warmth rushing through me.“I think my instruction wasn’t clear,” he said, his voice low—deep and steady, yet laced with something that made my skin prickle.Heat rose to my cheeks, spreading through me like fire.“You belong to me from now on,” he continued, his gaze locking onto m

    Silence stretched between us like a drawn blade.The moment his eyes landed on me, I knew he could see straight through every wall I had built. There was nowhere to hide beneath that cold, piercing gaze. My breath turned shallow, my fingers tightening around the strap of my bag until they ached.He took one slow step forward.Instinct begged me to move back, to flee before he came any closer, but my feet refused to obey. I stood frozen, forcing myself to meet his stare even as my pulse thundered in my ears.“I know I am nothing but a burden to you,” I said softly, though the words scraped my throat raw. “I won’t stand in the way of this marriage. If you want me gone, I’ll leave. I’ll disappear and stay far from your life.”For a second, he said nothing.Then something shifted in his expression—something dark and unreadable.He moved closer, the distance between us shrinking until I could feel the warmth of his body and breathe in the sharp scent of cedar and rain that clung to him. My

    ---“Alpha, are you certain—”“That’s enough.” Kyle didn’t raise his voice this time, yet the command in it was absolute. His Beta fell silent instantly as Kyle lifted a single hand, dismissing any further argument.“I meant every word,” he continued, his tone unyielding. “I will not change my decision. Facing the Council is far preferable to standing beside an ally like Smith.”A heavy silence followed.Dad’s expression darkened, his jaw tightening until the muscles ticked. “You will regret this, Kyle,” he said through clenched teeth. “I only hope you come to your senses before it’s too late. My invitation will not remain open forever.”Kyle didn’t even look at him.Instead, his gaze shifted—to me.For a fleeting moment, the storm in his steel-gray eyes softened, the harsh edges easing into something quieter… something almost reassuring.“Let’s go, wife.”---Some time later, I stood outside the packhouse, a small bag resting at my feet. I hadn’t taken much—only what I needed. There

    Silence draped itself over the room, heavy and suffocating, as the truth finally settled into our minds. I felt my breath slip past my parted lips, shallow and uncertain, while my eyes remained fixed on the man before me—the one most of the country feared. Kyle mason. His name alone carried weight, authority, power. And now, standing here, it all made sense. He was the Alpha of Blackwood. The command in his presence, the effortless way he challenged my father—an Alpha in his own right—without even a flicker of hesitation.My fingers brushed against the rough fabric of his expensive coat, grounding me in the moment. Alpha or not, there was something else about him—something almost hypnotic. His aura wrapped around me, pulling me in, as though I were slipping into a quiet, dangerous trance.Across from us, Dad’s pupils widened in disbelief. “But… I heard—”“You heard exactly what you were meant to hear,” Kyle cut in smoothly, his voice calm but unyielding. “After I signed the marriage p

    So he was the Alpha’s son—the heir of the red moon pack in the West.That explained the arrogance… but not the lack of skill.Either their training had failed him, or he had simply chosen to ignore it. From what I’d seen, his movements were clumsy, his reflexes slow. In a real battle, he wouldn’t last long enough to take a second breath. Even the newest trainees in our camp could outmatch him without breaking a sweat.A faint smirk tugged at my lips.“I suppose I should be grateful,” I said coolly, touching the bridge of my nose. “Breaking it is all you managed. With the way you were plotting, I expected something far more impressive.”I raised a brow at him, almost amused by the whole situation.Before he could respond, his attention shifted to Luana.“So,” he said, his tone laced with mockery, “you’re really going to fight me… for her?”He laughed, low and sharp.“You don’t even know what she is.” His eyes darkened. “That girl is nothing but bad luck. A curse. Stay close to her, and

    They must have assumed I held no real authority over blackwood. After all, I did not share mason’s blood like his other two sons. I couldn’t fault them for that belief. The truth had been carefully contained—known only within my pack. To the rest of the world, the announcement had yet to be made.Her gaze swept over me, slow and deliberate, before settling back on my face. A faint smile curved her lips. “Don’t worry,” she said lightly, “your physique makes up for it. I’d expect nothing less from the one they call the ‘Mad Beast’ of the North.” A soft giggle escaped her, her fingers brushing against her lips, and that was when I noticed it—the glint of a wedding band resting on her middle finger.“Why not wait in the living room?” he suggested, his tone easy, almost too easy. “We can have a pleasant chat. Luana is still getting ready. You know how girls can be.” He laughed, but the deception sat plainly on his face.Let me out.Drake’s voice thundered inside my head, low and restless.
