Chapter 1

“It’s just an ordinary stone, Jennie. Since Joey has already given it away to Anna, you’re insulting him by asking for it back. Is a stone more important than Joey?” The voice belonged to Mollie Bate, Anna’s mother and my stepmother. Mollie always played the saint whenever Anna and I were at odds. My naïve father bought her act every time and sided with Anna.Sure enough, Gale Bate, my father, tore into me as I stood there in silence. “Keep it down, Jennie. Today is Anna’s eighteenth birthday. Stop this nonsense right now.” Apparently, my antics embarrassed him. Some gifted werewolves shifted at fourteen, but even at eighteen, I still hadn’t gone through my first shift. Despite Gale’s efforts, I hadn’t succeeded, nor did I have a wolf. In other words, I was less than the lowliest Omega. I was a wolfless werewolf. Unlike me, Anna shifted at fourteen and had a wolf of her own. On her eighteenth birthday today, the Moon Goddess would bind her to her fated mate. Gale an

Joey and I returned to the manor in silence. With the tension subsiding, Joey apologized for lashing out at me. “I’m sorry, Jennie. My sweet Jennie, please forgive me.” “You care more about Anna than you are about me, Joey,” I uttered dejectedly. “No, not at all, Jennie. I’m only looking out for her because she’s your family. “I’m the Alpha of the Moonstone Pack. I have a duty to the pack.” He gave me a peck on the forehead and murmured in my ear. “My Jennie, the Moon Goddess chose you to be my fated mate. You mean the world to me.” Joey carried me into the bedroom, his kisses fluttering across my face and neck. Holding me from behind, he tugged at my dress and traced his lips against my skin. At the height of the moment, his phone rang. There was no telling what the caller was, but Joey shot me a frown before muttering, “I apologize for Jennie’s behavior. I’m on my way now. Realization struck me that it was Anna on the other end of the line. I smiled bitterly t

For a whole week, I was on my own in the infirmary. Joey hadn’t shown his face once. It never occurred to me that Joey would bring Anna along on the day of my discharge. I didn’t grill him, though, as my brother, Jake Bate, was back from field training. As soon as he heard that I was unwell, he rushed to the infirmary and handled all my discharge papers. As our eyes met, tension hung heavily in the air. Anna said with a smile, “Joey, I forgot to get flowers for Jennie. Can I trouble you to get a bouquet of red roses?” Joey sprang to meet Anna’s request without so much as glancing at my discolored face. “Sure thing. I’ll be right back.” With Joey gone, Anna switched up her game and ordered us around. “Grab the bags, Jake.” Never one to be fond of Anna, Jake ignored her demand and warned, “Don’t you pick on Jennie, Anna, or I’ll make you pay. I could care less whether you have a powerful Alpha on your side.” Jake’s words didn’t intimidate Anna in the slightest. She tr

Jake wasn’t very keen on Anna or Mollie. I laid him to rest next to our mother’s grave, so no one would disturb his peace. “I won’t let them get away with this, Jake.” I removed the diamond ring from my ring finger and set it down at the base of Jake’s headstone. On my life, I swore to make Joey and Anna pay for what they had done. For the next five days, I focused on Jake’s burial, not once stepping back into the manor. I was faced with Joey’s questioning when I dragged myself back home. “Where have you been? Do you know how worried Anna and I have been? “Give Anna a call right now and admit your mistake. You shouldn’t make her worry.” I knew that Joey couldn’t care less about my whereabouts. His primary concern was Anna. However, I was no longer the Jennie I was five days ago. I was out for blood, not at all wasting my breath on the likes of him. I brushed past Joey and headed for the bedroom with a blank face. Joey caught up to me and grabbed my right arm.

Energy flooded my veins, my muscles bulging with seemingly endless strength. My canines extended into fangs, my nails sharpened into claws, and my black hair bleached into a silvery white. I shifted into a white, agile she-wolf. However, vengeance consumed my entire reason. The last thing on my mind was to celebrate my first shift. This was for my unborn pup and my poor, sweet brother, Jake. I pounced on Anna and Jake. “I’m going to kill you.” My shifting sent Joey and Anna into a spiral. “A white wolf. She’s a white wolf…” As expected from an Alpha, Joey was quick to snap back to reality. He gave Anna a nudge and shouted, “Run!” Joey put himself between us to cover Anna’s escape. There was no way I would let them get away with it. Blood must be paid with blood. I was right on Anna’s tail all the way to the street. Even on the broad street, she managed to lose herself in the heavy traffic.I was about to sniff her out when an SUV screeched across the road, cu

Chapter 6

Laurent and I stepped into the manor. Glancing at the giant Alpha King crest on Laurent’s finger, Gale asked the obvious question in surprise. “W-Who are you?” Laurent, taking me by the hand, made a beeline to the head seat in the living room, his gaze piercing. “I am Laurent Ford, the Alpha King and Jennie’s grandfather.“Twenty-two years ago, my daughter kept her royal blood a secret and mated with you. Now, I’m taking my granddaughter, Jennie, home.” Dread washed over Gale. “No, Alpha Ford. This has to be a mistake. Jennie has never shifted. She can’t even beat an Omega. Thanks to the Bates’ standing in the pack, Joey looked past her flaw and mated with her.” Even at this point, Gale refused to believe that I carried the Alpha King’s blood in me. I scoffed, my voice dripping with disdain, “Oh, I forgot to mention that I have shifted today. Like Mom, I am a white wolf. The moonstone is the Moon Goddess’ gift to white wolves. Please return the stone to me. It belongs

Chapter 7

With the mate bond broken and out of the way, Laurent and I sauntered out of the manor right away. A Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up right in front of us. Standing by the vehicle, Laurent opened the car door for me. “My Jennie, it brings me joy that I’m taking you home.” The home he spoke of was at the very heart of the werewolf realm, where my mother once grew up.It was tens of thousands of miles away from the Moonstone Pack. The lengthy journey took us three days before we arrived outside an estate. “Welcome home,” Laurent said. He led me into the estate, and the staff lavished me with royal treatment. My phone rang.“Am I talking to a Jennie Bate?” An unfamiliar female voice came on the phone. “Yes, I am she. And you are?” “I’m calling from the Moonstone Pack’s infirmary. Joey Clad was involved in a crash and is clinging to his life. You’re listed in his emergency contact—” “I’m sorry.” I interrupted her abruptly. “I’m no longer in the Moonstone Pack. Find an

Joey and Anna’s mating ceremony was nothing short of lavish. Gale and Mollie invited the pack’s friends and family to the event. They were eager to prove that even though I was the Alpha King’s granddaughter, Anna was just as worthy. She could still become the pack Alpha’s Luna and uphold the family’s honor. However, they got another thing coming. There was no way in hell I would let them have their happy ending. My mother and brother, resting six feet under, would never rest in peace. I entered the venue, and Lily approached me with a smile. “I didn’t think you’d show up, Jennie.” I let out a chuckle, my voice dripping with sarcasm. “How could I miss my former mate and stepsister’s mating ceremony? “I’d regret it if I didn’t witness this moment.” Aware of where I stood now, Lily asked curiously, “I heard that you’re learning to become the next ruler. How does it feel? Are you enjoying it?” “Absolutely,” I answered. Laurent took care of everything, even hiring

Chapter 9

Lily and I walked away from the scene. My eye caught an SUV parked at the curb. Standing by the vehicle, Laurent looked at me tenderly. “Is it over?” Laurent asked. “Not yet, Grandpa. I want to ruin Joey completely,” I replied calmly. Judging by Laurent’s presence, he must be aware of what I was plotting. Still, he kept his silence and stayed by my side. Maybe his intention was to lend a hand. Sure enough, Laurent stroked my hair. “Very well. I will help you.” My tears burst out. “Thank you, Grandpa.” “Silly Jennie. You’re my daughter’s daughter. I don’t want you to dwell in the past.” He pulled me in for a hug. I threw myself into Laurent’s arms and let all the sadness out. Reality sank in that I still had a family who loved me. I was no longer alone. Six months later, Laurent, as the Alpha King, handpicked the finest and most suitable mate for me. His name was Henry Cavier.Henry was strong, considerate, handsome, and charming. It took three months
