บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha's Seventh Luna : บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Eve "Be careful, Eve!" Kann yelled as I ducked one last time. I had been at it since dawn, perfecting my archery and hand-to-hand combat while the rest of the pack was barely waking up. It was late in the day now and I was only just about to take a break. "You are pushing yourself hard today, Eve," Instructor Kann said, stepping up beside me as we headed toward the pack house. He wiped sweat from his forehead with a rag. "Though I expect nothing less from the Alpha's eldest." "A Luna who cannot defend her territory isn't fit to wear the title, Kann," I replied, slinging my bow over my shoulder. Kann chuckled, shaking his head with a proud smile. "You have got the heart of a true leader, Eve. The Winter Pack will be safe in your hands, especially once you take the throne beside Jon. The Beta’s son is a fine warrior, but with your strength, the two of you will be unstoppable." At the mention of Jon’s name, my cheeks flushed warm. I looked down, hiding the silly sm

EVEMy body felt completely different as I walked back to the pack house two hours later. The faint ache between my thighs was the evidence of what had just happened in the dark, hidden depths of the woods. I had expected it to hurt terribly, but it didn't. The stranger had been surprisingly patient at first, burning away the initial seconds of discomfort with an intense heat that consumed me. The pleasure he gave me was so good that I hadn't even had time to dwell on the brief pain.Yet, as the physical thrill faded, the reality of my life settled back onto my shoulders. I was still going back to a pack house where my betrothed loved my sister, and where my sister smiled at my pain.As I rounded the final bend toward the main driveway, bright lights blinded me.Multiple sleek, black SUVs were parked in a neat row outside the front gates. Heavy security guards dressed in dark, unfamiliar uniforms stood at every entrance. The entire atmosphere of the pack house was tense and chaotic.

EVEKolton stood tall in the doorway, his broad frame filling the space. His cold, icy gray eyes swept over the room, taking in my father’s tense posture, my mother’s anxious smile, and Leora still sniffling on the floor."I am leaving early tomorrow morning," Kolton announced. "My business here is finished, and I have urgent matters to attend to at the Hail Pack. If you are still offering a bride to seal our political alliance, she must be packed and ready at dawn."My father nodded rapidly. "Yes, of course, Alpha. Everything is already settled. The alliance stands, and the bride will be ready."I could literally feel my hands shaking.Kolton tilted his head slightly, his sharp gaze shifting away from my father. "And which of your daughters am I taking?"Slowly, Kolton’s eyes locked directly onto mine.A cruel smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. There was no confusion in his eyes, no moment of realization. HE KNEW EXACTLY WHO I WAS. He had known the moment I stumbled into h

EVE I barely slept through the night before it was morning.My boxes were packed and loaded into the trunk of a heavy black SUV.My mother didn't even bother to come down to the driveway. She remained upstairs, watching through her window with distant eyes. But Leora stood near the front gates, wringing her hands and dabbing at her eyes with a lace handkerchief."Oh, Eve… I am going to miss you so much!" Leora wailed softly. She threw her arms around me, sobbing loudly for everyone to hear. "My sweet big sister. How am I going to survive without you?"I stood stiffly in her embrace, my arms pinned at my sides wondering why no one else saw through her show. She loved the attention, loved looking like the devoted, heartbroken younger sister in front of the pack guards and everyone who cared to watch. My father stepped up beside us. He looked at me, his expression stern yet faintly heavy."Eve," he said in that deep voice of his. "You are strong and fierce, and I know you will not cr

EVE "Kolton!" she called out again, stopping right in front of him. Her hand reached out, hovering near his chest like she was used to touching him whenever she pleased. "You didn't send word that the convoy crossed the border. I would have had the courtyard cleared." "The roads were empty," Kolton said flatly, stepping past her reach. Heavy boots crunched against the stone behind us. A broad-shouldered man roughly Kolton's age approached, dressed in dark tactical gear. He carried himself with absolute precision, his sharp green eyes sweeping over me in a brief, calculating second before he stopped beside Kolton. "Eastern border is secured, Alpha," he said. Kolton nodded, gesturing slightly with his hand. "Eve, this is Calvin. My Beta and second-in-command. When I am out of the territory, his word is absolute." Calvin offered me a brief, formal bow. "Welcome to the Hail Pack, Lady Eve. It is a genuine pleasure to see that the Alpha settled for a woman this time around." I fr
