Semua Bab The Heartless Alpha’s Beloved Luna: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Avery's POVOne of the rogues scoffed without even looking at who was behind him. "Back off, lad. Go find your own girl—""Wait. He's not…" another stammered.The rogues all turned their attention to the man behind them.I saw a figure, all in black, standing there. His height and broad shoulders emanated strength and power.He looked even stronger than Ryan, who was already a strong Alpha, but I couldn't see his face in the dark."I said, leave her alone. Don't make me say it a third time," the man warned the rogues again."Shit, let's go-," The rogues stumbled back, muttering curses, and then fled away.And then there was silence.Now I was alone with him. From here, I could sense that he was in heat as well. I felt drawn to him like a moth to flame.For one second, warning bells blared in my mind. Had I traded one pack of predators for an even more dangerous one?Then he started walking towards me. With every step, the intoxicating smell became heavier, luring me in as we drew clos

Avery's POVA few days later I stood in front of my mirror. I pulled my nightshirt away from where my shoulder met my neck.My bite mark was already healed.That was remarkably fast.I touched the smooth skin in disbelief.There was now no visible indication of what had happened under the Mating Moon. I knew the mark was still there, but it was sealed inside and invisible to others.If only I could reach out and find the man who had mated with me! However, since my wolf was dormant, I also could not sense my mate through the bond.I had no way to find him, or communicate with him. I didn't even know what he looked like!Today was the Mating Ball where the Nightwolf Alpha would choose his mate.I needed to find someone to accept me by the end of today, or my father would kill me to save face.It felt like an impossible task. A commotion rose from down below, and I lifted my head from my knees, listening."Alpha Gideon is about to arrive!" I heard my step-mother snap."Finish the prepa

Avery's POVThe handsome Alpha approached, staring at my neck. His eyes were piercing daggers honing in on my skin. The very air around him rippled with intensity as he pinned me in place with a look.Oh shit, oh shit!My instincts screamed at me to run from this predator, to avoid unwanted attention.I was vulnerable, a specimen pinned on the path before this dangerous Alpha.I yanked at the ruined collar of my dress and tried to lift it around my neck. The broken strands of beads slipped off their threads and bounced across the path as they rolled away. The torn silk slid through my numb fingers and the collar parted to display my skin."Show me." It wasn't a question. The Alpha's tone conveyed that he expected obedience and was used to receiving it. Then he was in my space, mere inches away."It's n-nothing!" I protested, trying to turn away from him. I tried to cover up where the dress gaped open."Lower your hand and prove it." Gideon's command cracked across my skin.My hand dro

Avery's POVI startled and took a step back. Live? With him?"Stop meddling, Camila." Gideon growled and swiftly walked away.Once he was gone, Camila muttered, "I was just joking." She tugged me by my arm, "It's actually a really nice setup. I spent all week getting it ready for you!"Her genuine excitement went a long way towards making me feel like there was something salvageable in all this. Her parents and brother quickly moved towards the main house, reassuring me that, although it was large, I would get used to my new home in no time.Hudson opened the main door for me with a bow, and his youthful, handsome grin gave me a hint of what Gideon would look like if he ever loosened up."Don't be too intimidated by my brother. He's not nearly as bad or cold as his reputation." he said as I passed into the entrance hall. "You'll see as you get to know him, he's actually a decent person."My stomach turned at the thought of getting to know Gideon.His attempt to paint his brother in a

Avery's POVThe woman screamed and lunged.Gideon grabbed me around the waist, swinging me out of the way. He tucked me against his side with one arm while his other hand darted out and captured the woman's wrist as she drove her killing blow towards me.There was a sharp snap, and the woman's wrist broke within Gideon's grasp.The long, wicked knife dropped from her hand as she screamed in pain.Gideon snatched the falling knife out of the air, flipped it deftly, and drove it upward.The point of the knife entered beneath the woman's chin and slid upwards with a sickening shick.The woman dropped to the stage, dead.It all happened so fast. I stared at the still-twitching body in horror, feeling like I might pass out.Warmth seeped into me from Gideon's chest against me where he still held me tightly to his side. It anchored me to the physical world and I felt slightly less faint.He had moved so quickly and decisively to protect me.Only one other person had ever tried to protect me
