Semua Bab The Rejected Witch Is Wanted By The Red Alpha : Bab 1 - Bab 10

The grand hall of the Moon Pack was teeming with life-a cacophony of clinking glasses, laughter, and hushed conversations that filled the air. Roasted meats, fresh bread, and fine wine wafted through the air, almost letting a person forget this wasn't supposed to be a celebration in the first place. At least, not to me.I sat alone at the far edge of the hall, in a dimly lit corner, which incredibly fitted my mood. My stepmother, Serena, floated through the crowd as if she was the grand dame of the evening, her golden gown shimmering under the light of the chandeliers. My father, Alpha Jack Moon, stood tall beside her, laughing with the guests as if the world revolved around them.I swallowed down the bitter lump in my throat as I glared down at the half-eaten fruitcake on the small plate in my hand. Today was supposed to be my day-my twenty-first birthday, my supposed "coming-of-age." Instead of being treated like the star of the evening, I was little more than an afterthought.The p

The door creaked open and I instinctively stepped backward as my breath caught in my throat. In that room, for one second, there was only the soft echo of his boots against the stone floor.As he stepped fully into view, my lungs ran out of air.The Red Alpha was even more fearsome up close than my mind had pictured. His tall, towering physique spoke volumes about power; the green eyes felt like they were drilling right into me, holding me paralyzed with intensity. His face was chiseled, his features composed-smooth, like the lull before the storm.I said nothing. My muscles were tight while I waited for him to say something.He crossed the room, his hands clasped behind him, drinking in his surroundings. Finally, he faced me, the curl of his lip in a small, almost amused smile."You're quieter than I expected," he said with that voice all smooth and deceptively calm. "Good. I like my acquisitions to know their place."I blinked to hear his words; his words dragged me from my stupor.

The pale morning light seeped through the narrow window, but it offered little comfort. My body felt so heavy, as if I was slowly sinking into the thin mattress that supported me. All my muscles ached, and my head pounded away with a dull, ceaseless pain.I shifted uncomfortably, but the movement sent a sharp jolt through the back of my skull. Gritting my teeth, I reached back and felt the swelling just above my nape. Must have happened when he threw me down after releasing me last night-my head must have struck the stone wall.The memory of his glowing red eyes flashed in my mind, and I shivered.Alpha Red.His name was enough to send shivers of fear and hatred down my spine. My throat still burns from where his hand had clutched me, and my mind replayed that one moment over and over. The sheer rage in his eyes, the monstrous strength in his grip-it was unlike anything I'd ever seen.I closed my eyes and willed it away, but my mind strayed to my mother instead. My chest constricted a

Avery's POV I slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surroundings. I was back in my room, lying on the comfortable bed. But as I looked around, I realized that I wasn't alone. A little girl's face was hovering over mine, her eyes fixed on me with a mixture of sadness and curiosity.I sat up slowly, staring at the little girl in confusion. She couldn't have been more than 10 or 11 years old, with a mop of curly brown hair and a smattering of freckles across her nose. She looked up at me with big, brown eyes, her expression solemn.Just then, Gaius stepped into the room, a look of concern on his face. "Avery, how are you feeling?" he asked, his voice soft and gentle.I rubbed my head, trying to remember what had happened. "I...I think I'm okay," I said, my voice a little shaky. "What happened?"Gaius smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "You were accidentally bumped into by our little Anna here," he explained, nodding towards the little girl. "She was running and didn't see

Alpha Red’s POV I closed my eyes, trying to fight the beast that was rising inside me. I could feel it on the edge, it hot breathed on the back of my neck, its claws digging into my skin. I was a master of control, but Avery's words were like a spark to dry tinder, igniting a fire that threatened to consume me.I could feel my Lycan wolf stirring, its power coursing through my veins like liquid fire. I didn't want to hurt Avery again, but I feared that my wolf would take over, that I would lose myself to its primal fury.Just when I thought I had quieted the beast, Avery's voice cut through the air, her words like a slap to my face. “You're nothing but a beast who hurts people for pleasure,” she spat, her eyes flashing with defiance. “I'm sorry for those who see you as a hero because they have no idea about the beast you really are.”Her words were like a punch to the gut, leaving me breathless and reeling. I felt my wolf surge forward, its anger and outrage boiling over like a pot l
