Alpha's Hidden Precious Luna

“Please… please don’t kill me,” Lily begged with blood and tears streaming from her face as the big wolf hovered over her. “I’ll give you anything you want… money… anything!” she sobbed.

The big wolf studied her for a few seconds and then in one haul, he pulled her car from the ditch where it was upturned and set it on the road.

But as soon as it set the car on the road, Lily pumped the ignition as fast as she could and sped off leaving a wake of dust in her trail. As she drove, her eyes darted between the road ahead and the rearview mirror nothing with fear that the Big Wolf was chasing her.

He was gaining in on her… it was only a matter of seconds before he’ll get her and tear her apart.

She drove as fast as she could, crying and begging on the universe to save her. Suddenly the path curved, surprising Lily who wasn’t expecting the path to take such turn. With full speed, she veered of the road and drove right into a tree.

She could hear the pounding paws of the Big Wolf… even in her dying state, he didn’t want to relent.

“Moon goddess, please!” she murmured in her head, tasting her blood which was flowed from her face to her mouth. Just before the darkness enclosed her… she saw it rush towards her, was this really her end?

Lily POV

I used to think I could withstand anything fate threw at me…

I mean – I was hated by my father and my sister, practically a maid in my own house and the invisible daughter of Alpha Stone … but nothing prepared me for the sight that greeted me.

My hands trembled on the doorknob of my sister’s bedroom as a strangled gasp escaped my lips. The door was slightly ajar, and through the narrow gap, I could see Lucas – my boyfriend and mate-to-be of three years cuddled together with my sister, Vanessa on the bed.

Their voices drifted out, hushed but clear in the quiet hallway.

“Just reject her, and it will be over,” Vanessa murmured, running her fingers through Lucas’s hair. “You promised me, Lucas. Don’t chicken out now,”.

Lucas sighed, pulling Vanessa closer. “I know that, but… it’s her birthday today, Nessa. Can’t it wait?”

Vanessa's eyes narrowed as the corner of her lips lifted into a sneer. “And also, mine, in case you’ve forgotten. So, consider it my birthday gift… it has to be today. Trust me, it’s better this way,”.

The hallways spun under my feet and my vision blurred, my mind reeling as the words I just heard sank in. I stumbled back from the door, my heart shattering into a thousand pieces.

“I’m getting cheated on and rejected on the same day as my birthday,” I whispered to myself as tears rolled down my cheeks “Thank you, moon goddess, a perfect way to start my 18th…,”.
