All Chapters of Lilly Riverwood and the Moon Rose Ritual: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Lilly Riverwood was the daughter of Alpha Mick and Luna Harmony Riverwood. Although she wasn’t the heir to the pack, her elder brother, Luka, was. It never fazed Lilly as she was loved by the whole pack for the most part and wasn’t power-hungry like a lot of other Alpha offspring. She loved to play the violin and became quite good at it. She became very famous in both the human and were-beast societies worldwide. However, despite all the Alpha genes and fame, Lilly was still a very level-headed and well-mannered young lady. So, she was very well respected by all who knew her.Lilly was tall for a she-wolf at 5 foot 9, not surprising though, being the daughter of an Alpha and a high-ranking one at that, a grizzly bear of a man at 6 foot 5, and that was tall for even a male Alpha, most were only 6 feet at best. Her mother was reasonably tall, being a she-wolf standing at 5 foot 5, so Lilly should have been expected to end up on the taller side. However, most of the she-wolf population w

No one ever wanted Lilly’s attention unless it was her friend Emma. Lilly was more of an outsider even though she was the Alpha’s daughter.The gasps only made Lilly’s inner monologue go off even more ‘Great, now the rumour mill is going to go off. The rest of the day is going to be just awesome.’Lilly felt her cheeks flush from the unexpected gesture and the attention it drew. She quickly pulled her hand away, trying to maintain her composure."It was nice to meet you, Axel," she said, her voice slightly strained. "But I need to get to my next class."As she turned to leave, Axel called out, "I hope we'll have a chance to talk more, Lilly. Perhaps over lunch?"Lilly hesitated, torn between her instinct to avoid pack politics and her curiosity about this intriguing newcomer. "Maybe," she said noncommittally before hurrying out of the classroom.The hallway was abuzz with whispers as she made her way to her locker. She could feel the stares of her classmates, some curious, others envi

“Not like my brother wouldn’t have told you anyway. I’m guessing that you, too, have questions for me. Why not go ahead?” she said.Kenyon looked at her as if he didn’t know what to say, especially now that she had called him out.That’s when a booming voice came out of nowhere and could only belong to no other than her father, Alpha Mick, who broke the silence and tension that was going on between them.“Come on, you two, it’s time for dinner,” Alpha Mick’s voice boomed once more.“Coming, Daddy,” Lilly sang out, turning to pick up her violin case. She told Kenny, “Well, you can ask me later when you work out what it is you want to ask me, but in the meantime, we need to head back to the dining hall.”With that, Lilly took her violin case into her arms, hugging it like it was her only friend. This was how she probably felt most days, but even more today.Lilly and Kenyon walked side by side towards the dining hall, an awkward silence hanging between them. As they entered, the chatter

Luna Harmony squeezed Lilly's hand. "Your father's right, sweetheart. And remember, being someone's mate doesn't mean losing yourself. It means finding someone who complements and helps you grow while still being true to you."Lilly felt a weight lifting from her chest as she listened to her parents' words. For the first time since Axel had appeared in her life, she allowed herself to consider the possibility that maybe, just maybe, this could be something good.The next morning came quickly, but she still wasn’t excited to see the rest of the pack members at breakfast. There were way too many gasps for her liking, but it was the duty of a high-ranking pack member to eat with their pack, regardless of how it made them feel.With Kendra and her bitches being there, there was yet another reason not to go downstairs. However, there seemed to be something calling her downstairs. What or who? She wasn’t sure, but she felt much better about what she had been feeling all day yesterday after

Luna Harmony nodded in agreement. "Your father's right, sweetheart. But we need to keep this between us for now. If word got out, it could put you in danger."Lilly's eyes widened with fear. "Danger? Why?"Alpha Mick's expression grew serious. "An early awakening often indicates a powerful wolf. Some might try to take advantage of that power or see it as a threat."Lilly felt her heart racing. "So, what do we do?""For now, we keep this quiet," Luna Harmony.“So yesterday, when I out of the blue solved that math problem like I was playing my violin, was that my wolf as well, coz I still can’t explain that one.” Looking blankly between both of her parents.“I don’t think so, honey. After the day you had yesterday with everything that had happened, I think your mind was just happy for the distraction,” replied her father.Lilly nodded slowly, trying to process everything. "I'll do my best to keep it under control. But what about school? What if it happens again?"Alpha Mick thought for
