prologue

A lot of strange things happen in life, bizarre phenomena no one could ever explain and one of them seems to be happening to Selena at the moment. Right at that moment, she was staring at herself, not as a reflection but rather at her body.

“What the fuck is going on?” Chris demanded, his voice pitched and quivering. Even when Chris is in her body, he had a rather nasty temper. Screaming the moment he figured he was no longer in his body. How did this happen, they had no idea. One day She was still the unwanted and abandoned Luna of the Crystal moon pack, and the second day she is the Alpha.

“Lena, what did you do?” Chris demanded, his eyes fierce but Selena almost laughed since she was seeing the fierce expression on her face, on her body, an expression she didn’t know she could make. It’s not surprising that he thinks she did something, after all, he never loved her or cared for her, and he always blamed her for everything that’s happened to him.

“What on earth made you think I did something?” Selena flinched at the husky voice that escaped her mouth, it wasn’t hers of course, because she was in the body of her husband, her stoic and nonchalant husband, they’d been married for over a year now but are still a stranger to each other.

“Well, I don’t know…you tell me” Chris folded his hands, that gesture suited her body rather well. Selena was not that confident in her body but the expression on her face that Chris was making was rather intriguing to her. “Even if you want to become the sole leader of my pack, don’t you think this is too much?” Chris gritted staring at her with a furious expression. Honestly, I don’t know how on earth this happened really but…I don’t hate it, Selena thought to herself.

“And what are you gonna do about it?” He paled at her words, gulped, and recoiled. “That’s what I thought, the least we can do is for us to find a way to go back into our respective bodies” Selena added and Chris lowered his head in guilt and shame. How did they arrive at this point, well…that’ll take us back one year.

Selena Willow is 24 years old woman and the daughter of Alpha George Willow of the Willow Knight pack, a pack that’s been existing for more than a hundred years. She used to be a precious daughter of her father, the last child of three children but it doesn’t mean She always gets her way because if it’s left to her, She never would have married Christopher Hawkins, the Alpha of the Crystal moon pack if She had a choice but neither of them gets to decide because it was an arranged marriage.

The Crystal moon pack has been declining ever since the previous Alpha, Christopher’s father was bedridden. He was Selena's father’s archenemy, for years their packs have been at odds with each other, Crystal moon pack blamed the Willow Knight pack for the death of their Luna, but they couldn’t really win because they had more power and connection, they also have over 8 Alphas in their pack under Alpha George’s command, two of which are Selena’s brothers. Tristan Hawkins knew he was slowly dying, he knew he wouldn’t last any longer so, he proposed to have Selena wed his son to put an end to the hostility and silent war, it’s silent because both packs never truly confront each other but the moment a member of the other pack trespassed on their lands they killed them, and vice versa.

Tristan feared his pack would be attacked by Alpha George once he died so, the marriage was arranged, not only to stop George from ever trying to attack his pack but also to protect his pack from other packs that might prey on it after his demise. It was a solid plan because no pack or rogue would dare to attack a pack under the protection of Willow Knight pack and what did George get from all of this, well…Tristan was forced to give up their timber company, a multi-million dollar company with the agreement that they would always support Christopher, and 50% workers would be from Crystal moon pack, and like that Selena was wed, or rather sold since the benefit of her marriage comes in monetary terms.

True mates had become rarer and marriages between wolves have become rather common so, it was not a big deal but to both of them, it was and why is that, Chris still hate Selena deeply, and blamed the death of his mother on her family, and not just that…they attended the same high school together, it wasn’t exactly a fun memory for both of them or so she thought.

And so, Selena becomes the Luna of the Crystal moon pack, but is she really the Luna? Not really, because her husband pretends she doesn’t exist, which was cool at first because she wanted nothing to do with him either, but then, he would bring his girlfriends into the house, let out loud moans as if trying to announce what they were doing.

It was frustrating and suffocating to Selena, Chris's pack members treat her no different. She had no authority whatsoever, and they talk down at her every chance. She used to be a fun and loving girl, She likes reading, and she love nature, but that soon changed, Selena become cooped in her room, abandoned, and neglected as if she didn’t exist.

As if that wasn’t terrible enough, Chris become stuck with a particular girl called Lydia, he doesn’t bring the same girl twice but over three months and before the turning events of their life, Lydia had become Chris’s regular mistress and Lydia had established herself like the Luna of the pack, even though Selena is the Luna and three days ago…things got even worse for Selena.

When Lydia and Chris mate in the house, he let out an incredible amount of pheromones, the scent produced by a specific gland of a werewolf to induce and affect other wolves and it serves different purposes, it can be used for intimidation or aphrodisiac depending on who is letting it and why.

 At a young age, werewolves are taught to control their pheromones, and amongst the ranks in their species, the Alphas and the Omegas are the only ones with active pheromone glands, Betas and gammas don’t and anytime Chris let out his pheromone, filling the house, Selena is forced into heat and he knew too well what his pheromones were doing to her, he could also control it but he didn’t, he wanted her to suffer and she did, until she couldn’t take it, unlike him Selena couldn’t jump into any man’s bed even if she wanted to, and when the heat strikes, she’s forced to endure the pain that comes with being an omega without an Alpha.

So three days ago, She was forced to leave the house for them, but he had already induced her heat and unconsciously, she started leaking pheromones, attracting other wolves in the vicinity, she was too weak to move, hot and desperate for a cooling touch, she wanted someone to help her, anyone as she collapsed at the backyard porch writhing and panting, her hands all over her body at once begging for the pain to stop and her throbbing center to cool. If Chris had at least marked her, then no one but him would have been able to perceive her pheromones.

Chris beta came looking for him and was drawn to the sweet scent Selena was giving off unconsciously. Mad with lust, Selena had crawled to him hoping he could put an end to her torment, She hated that part of her, clouded by lust and unable to think, She kissed his Beta, Eric Houston, a decision she came to regret deeply.

It was an accident, a mistake on both their part since Eric didn’t stop her either, he returned the kiss, their hands all over each other like they couldn’t get enough of each other and if Chris hadn’t walked in on them, Selena couldn’t imagine what would have happened. His caress had managed to suppress her heat a little before Chris walked in brimming with rage, and honestly, she was too engrossed to care about his presence and his beta, well he blamed her for seducing him.

Rumours spread like wildfire, everyone blamed Selena for being promiscuous, insulting words were hurled at her, and things turned for the worse for her, and to top it, Eric would come to her room when Chris isn’t around, wanting to finish what he started, it took all Selena’s energy to ward him off and when she told Chris about it, he blamed it on her, again.

So, Selena was forced to turn to her brothers, calling them over the phone and telling them about what happened to her, they asked her to deal with it, it’s shameful enough that Selena…the Luna and their sister go around seducing men, they were ashamed of her and so, she lost the support of her family over the incident, she had no one else to turn to, so…she turned to the moon goddess, she wanted Chris to feel the same pain she felt, but she didn’t think it’ll actually work because now, She had become Chris and Chris had become her.
