CHAPTER 1 Betrayal

Adira's POV

Pain rippled through me as I watched my chosen mate, and future Alpha, Grayson Mars utter vows of love to another woman, Stacy Stevens. She was the beta's first daughter and my former best friend. 

Like everyone else, Grayson turned his back on me when my parents were accused of being traitors to the pack.

Alpha Mars didn't hear them out and he ordered them to be killed. According to them, they traded pack secrets with our enemies and were part of a coup to overthrow our current Alpha but it was all false, my parents were loyal members of the pack. The only reason I was left alive is that they didn't find evidence against me, however, they didn't retreat me well... They locked me up in cells and tortured me for months in hopes I'd admit to being part of the 'coup'. All that didn't hurt as much as Grayson's betrayal. I begged him for months not to leave me but he did, in fact, he did that in the presence of the whole pack, he embarrassed me and ordered me not to go anywhere close to him because we were done. He couldn't be with the daughter of traitors or his father will take away his title as the future Alpha of Topaz moon pack. 

I clenched my fist and jaw when the couple on stage said I do. For a split second, his eyes found me in the crowd, and regret instantly consumes him whole but I looked away in anger and disgust for him. Stacy cupped his face and kissed him deeply, she then turned to me and smirked. 

Bitch, I murmured to her. 

I win, She whispered. Her eyes beamed with satisfaction. 

Stacy Stevens was a friend of mine for years and was always by my side but when things went downhill for my family, she was one of the first people in line to insult me. The woman even went as far as to seduce my fiance and fuck him. She later announced to everyone that she was going to be his future Luna, not me. I remember being stunned into silence for days when the news broke.

'He's not the one,' My wolf said softly, she was not angry or hurt by their union anymore. Heck, the two would kiss and hug in front of me, but I still felt pain. 

'I loved him,' I sighed, tears welling in my eyes. 

'I know but someone better is coming for us, he will love us, 'She was sure of her words. 

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the future Alpha and Luna of Topaz moon pack, Mr and Mrs, Mars! The Alpha cheered and the crowd burst out in merriments too. I snarled and left only to meet my two other nemeses, the beta twins Debbie and Cara. These two have made my life unbearable since middle school. I crossed my arms against my chest and glared at them.

Get out of my way, I snarled and they only smirked, approaching me. Debbie flipped her brown hair over her shoulder and shoved me. 

You're in my way She gritted. Cara made an attempt to push me to the ground but I grabbed her by the hair and pushed her away from me. They still behaved like typical high school bullies despite being in their twenties. Always picking fights for no reason at all. Cara attempted to punch me in the face but I ducked and hit her with force, and blood splattered out of her mouth. She saw red and both twins lunged at me. I fought them with everything in me, my inner wolf resurfacing. Even though I have not yet shifted, I was stronger than them because they didn't have any form of training, too scared they would mess up their hair or manicured fingers.

The two girls were heaving and blood poured from their lips and nose. We were separated by the guards and soon, the beta came in a hurry, inspecting his daughters for injuries before his hateful gaze fell on me. 

You little bitch, what have you done to my girls, The beta female spat as she slapped me across the face, the impact would have made me fall to the ground if the huge guard wasn't holding me.

What is going on here, The Alpha roared. He must have heard the ruckus all the way from the backyard. Everyone bowed to the intimidating man except me. I hated this man so much and showing him any kind of respect would be agreeing that killing my parents was right.

I found this daughter of the traitor assaulting my poor kids, Alpha, this woman is dangerous and needs to be banished from this pack! Yelled the beta female. I only glared at her. 

She will be punished but- 

They started it, they always do yet I'm the only one who gets punished, I spat. The Alpha was angry at me and grabbed my cheeks, I whimpered as he applied more force. 

Just who do you think you're talking to like that, child, I can kill you right now and won't be punished, 

We should just banish her Alpha, she will cause trouble for us just like her parents, The beta spoke. I always knew that he hated my father and whatever supposed evidence they found, it was he who found it and was their replacement. 

We shall deal with this impertinent child later, for now, we have a meeting to go attend ... The Alpha king is coming, He told his beta who gave him a look of uncertainty

Why? 

He is angry at us because of the death of those ambassadors and is probably coming to deliver his sentence, 

But- but why now, it has been months and it was an accident, Beta Steven said. 

The Alpha of the blue rays claims otherwise, Alpha answered. He indeed seemed worried but who wouldn't? The Alpha of Alphas was visiting this pack personally, it couldn't be good. The Alpha king was the most powerful Alpha amongst all wolves and was feared by many for his fierce reputation.

CHAPTER 2 The Future Luna

I was in the Alpha suite, cleaning as I did almost every day when I felt hands around me. I jumped and clutched my chest. I glared at the man who dared put his hands on me. 

Hey, you, he said. I gave him a dirty look, showing him how much I abhorred him. 

Excuse me, I spat, grabbing my supplies and leaving the room but he held me again, wrapping his filthy hands around me. 

Let me fucking go, Gray! 

He was indeed shameless, he didn't care that Stacy can walk in any minute now. 

I'm sorry they hurt you, He said, his gaze roaming around my body. I pulled my shirt lower, I didn't have a wolf so my healing was really slow. 

I scoffed and turned around. 

You are married, don't touch, or speak to me again, I sneered. Opening the door, I met Stacy on the door, she gave me a disgusting look and her gaze went past my shoulder to see her husband. Grayson only turned around and went to his office. She sniffed me. 

You are such a whore! She screamed, slapping my face. I didn't even know if it hurt at this point because I was so used to it. I tried not to fight back, but she pushed me against the wall.

How dare you come here to seduce my mate! She shrieked. For someone who thought herself beautiful, she was insecure especially when it came to me. I easily raised my knee to kick her and she lets go of me. She crouched down, holding her stomach. 

You fucking bitch! I'm your Luna! 

No you're not, I said in a bored voice. She knew very well that her mate came on me but is too proud to accept that. I bent down and grabbed her hair Tell your fucking husband to stay away from me,

Stacy attacked me again but I blocked her punches. The door opened and Grayson walked out, he pulled me closer to him and went to Stacy, cupping her face. 

Stop it, you're embarrassing yourself, he said, looking around the bystanders. His gaze fell on me. 

Get out, he ordered. 

I was already on my way, asshat, I murmured as I went on to clean the yard.

I was cleaning when my wolf, Kira, alerted me that we were being watched. I lifted my gaze to the top floor and indeed, Grayson was looking at me intently. I only glared at him with hate and my skin crawled when his new mate stood behind him, caressing his bare chest. I looked away and continued my work. 

After spending the day working on my knees and hands, I was more than happy to go home to see, my baby brother but the new Mrs. Mars wouldn't allow it! She fucking gave me more work in the kitchen. 

Everyone was running around in the kitchen, cooking and preparing meals for tonight's banquet since the king was coming. The chef, a short bitter middle-aged woman glared at me. 

It's this unruly girl again, what is she doing in my kitchen! She shouted. Yep, she wasn't too fond of me, in fact, no one at the packhouse was. No one answered her. The staff gasped when a loud bang resounded. 

Again! Why is she in my kitchen! she squealed, making me cover my ears. She wasn't only rude, but awfully loud too. I pursed my lips, waiting for someone to answer her since she didn't ask me directly. 

The future Luna said she is to help out, Someone answered her. She snarled, and gave me a once-over, 

Start peeling potatoes and don't cause any trouble because I will burn you with hot oil, she threatened. I only narrowed my eyes at her and took one long stride towards her. I towered over her and growled, making her jump. It pleased me to see her look of fear on her face and I smirked. 

My hand reached past her to get a kitchen knife and put it in her face, Mrs. Li was shaking in fear. 

Someone get me the potatoes, I smiled creepily without taking my gaze off the short chef. 

I turned around and got a stool, peeling the potatoes without complaining. 

I heard that he can't keep a woman, they all die and that's why even at the age of twenty-eight, he has no queen, One of the kitchen helpers said to her friend. They were talking about the Alpha king.

Why? 

I don't know... He has a short temper and easily kills them when he's bored, The girl frowned.

Debbie once said they danced together at a party. She wouldn't stop praising his good looks, 

I know, we heard that story the whole year, The other young lady giggled. 

What else do you know about him? 

Other than what you know, nothing. The king keeps his life private despite being on the throne for seven years, 

I listened to the girls converse about the Alpha king and what they said shocked me. They made him sound like a monster and a shiver went down my spine. 

By the time it was evening, everyone was frantic, running around and when someone announced that the king's entourage was here, it was silent.

The hall, now, now, The organizer commanded, breaking the stillness in the room. Someone put a tray of drinks in my hands and pushed me out. 

The hall was decorated beautifully and the king's entourage was already on the high table along with our Alpha, his family, and the beta's family. However, the king's seat and two others were empty. Was he running late or was everyone just early? And why the fuck did I care! My heart was drumming in my chest. I was snapped out of my thought when a slap landed on my cheeks. 

Ouch! I groaned. Mrs. Li was fuming at me. I glared at her in anger. 

Why the fuck did you slap me, you wench! I shouted. My eyes blazed with anger and she gasped epically, her heart pounding as she slowly backed away from me.  

Y- you- you were spilling all the drinks, so lost in your thoughts and I did the first thing I thought, She screamed. I groaned at the back of my throat. I was fucking tired of people laying their hands on me. I had the strong urge to react and slap her back but I contained myself. 

Breathe, breathe, Adira, 

I walked past the woman, making sure to hit her slightly with my body. I refilled my tray with new drinks and went back to the banquet, serving. I glanced at the king's empty seat again. Where was he?

My lazy gaze roamed to Debbie and Cara, they asked men from the king's palace to dance with them but they were rejected. That immediately brightened my mood. I was working with a gentle smile on my lips when I was suddenly pushed into a dark corner of the room. I gasped, seeing Grayson smiling at me. 

Let go of me, I hissed, trying to push him away but his hands were tightly holding my waist. I could smell the alcohol on him. 

I know you hate me, He whispered in my ear. My gaze wandered around the room to see if someone could have seen but they were too busy drinking and dancing. 

No, I don't, Grayson. I despise you, I said. I managed to detach myself from him but as I turned to walk away, he grabbed my wrist and turned me towards him, my chest slammed into him and he wrapped his arms around me. 

Forgive me, please, 

I didn't care to hear him out. I was still struggling with Grayson when it hit me, the most remarkable scent in the world, fresh cut grass. The whole banquet went silent as two extremely tall handsome men entered the room.

TOUCH MY MATE AGAIN, AND I'LL RIP YOUR FUCKING ARMS OFF! A growl resounded. 

CHAPTER 3 Mine

The two men made room for a third person to walk through, the man who spoke. He was the most gorgeous man in the entire world, standing at 7 ft, with black hair, dark blazing onyx eyes, and high chiseled cheekbones. His blazing gaze stuck on me and slowly, I felt Grayson's arms ease around me and I almost stumbled but touched the wall for support. The man took three large steps towards me and raised his hand to caress my cheek, I felt sparks rush through my skin, making me jolt back.

Mine, He growled. I was trembling ever so slightly and my heart was pounding as he stared at me like I was worth everything. I wasn't though. I've been told and reminded that I was nothing every day of my life by the way they treated and mocked me but the king's gaze on me made me feel like I was worth something. It was a foreign feeling, I didn't know
