Chapter 1

~Lyra

"I want to participate in this year's Blood Moon games!" I said with my fists clenched.

Darius's spoon fell into his plate. He looked at me with pure rage. "What did you just say to me?" he asked, standing up. At 6'3, he towered over me.

I might as well have told my husband, Beta of the Silvermoon pack, that I wanted to sell pack secrets. Or poison the water with Wolfsbane.

He walked closer. My whole body went limp. "Say that shit again!" Darius demanded. He backed me up until my back hit the wall. He caged me in with his hands and lowered his face. His warm breath touched my skin.

My body shook. My mouth was dry. "I--I," I stuttered. "I want to particip--"

His fist slammed into the wall beside my head.

"Darius!" I screamed, terrified. He was angry every day, but this was different.

He grabbed my arm, tightening his grip, and threw me across the room. "You will do no such thing, Lyra. Over my dead body!"

"Why can't I?" I spat. "What's wrong with me wanting to do something with my life?"

He raised his hand. My heart stopped.

"Fuck!" he cursed, pushing me away. I hit the floor with a loud thud.

Darius grabbed his keys. The front door slammed shut.

He always treated me like trash. After five years of marriage, my self-esteem was completely gone.

I couldn't get pregnant. I couldn't bear a pup. He made me feel guilty for it every single day.

I was a weak Omega with no wolf, yet Darius married me. He never marked me, but he chose me and that was enough. He made me feel so important, like the most special person in the world. But that changed quickly.

Most nights, he didn't sleep at home. The nights he did, he smelt like perfume that wasn't mine, the bite marks on his collar and scratch marks on his back didn't help either. The whole pack was aware that he was cheating on me.

He always knocked me down. But today was different. Asking to enter the games made him snap. He looked like I had put a knife through his jugular.

I was done being weak. Wolf or no wolf, I wanted my life back. I had spent five years trying to make him happy, but ended today.

Hours later, my phone buzzed. It was a text from Darius: [Meet me at Farleigh's, I'm sorry for how I acted. Let's talk about it, if that's okay with you.]

My heart skipped a beat. Was he serious? He had never apologized for anything, not even once. Maybe he regretted his actions. Maybe things would finally change.

I got dressed quickly and headed to Farleigh's mansion.

As soon as I stepped inside the Alpha's house I felt a sudden wave of heat hit between my legs. My blood ran hot and my pussy twitched against my underwear. Every step I took made it worse. I felt dangerously aroused, and I didn't know what was happening to me.

I heard the sound of footsteps. I looked up and saw Alpha Farleigh. His beautiful grey eyes land on me. My underwear is already soaked with juices and I can feel my nipples poke through the fabric of my shirt. He looks at them, then moves his eyes back to my face.

"Fuck," I cussed under my breath clamping my legs shut so I can't feel anything. This is wrong, no this is terrible. I can't be feeling horny while looking at my Alpha, it's a taboo.

"Lyra, Lyra!" Farleigh's voice broke me out of my reverie. How long has he been calling?

"Yea... Yeah!" I stuttered.

"What are you doing here?" He asked. "Your hands!" He pointed at my right hand. I hadn't realized I've been digging my nails into my palms.

"I'm here to see Darius, he said I should meet him here."

"Really?" His brows arched, "I haven't seen him in days," Farleigh said, confused.

Darius, but he said...

Tears spilled down my cheeks. I can't believe that I was stupid enough to believe him.

"You're so stupid Lyra!" I said out loud.

"Stop putting yourself down," Farleigh said gently closing the space between us. "I don't like when you that, I've told you before."

My heart was completely shattered. When everyone treated me like shit, Farleigh was always good to me. Darius never dared to bully me when Alpha Farleigh was around. Never.

Farleigh wiped my tears and stepped even closer. My breath hitched. It had been so long since anyone had touched me with tenderness.

He leaned and before I knew what was happening, kissed me. I didn't think twice before kissing him back.

Farleigh snaked his arm around my waist. Heat spread through my body. He grabbed my face, using his thumb to rub against my cheek.

"Oh fuck," I moaned. Farleigh grabbed my ass, rubbing it in circles. I put my hand around his neck. He hoisted me up in the air and I wrapped my legs around him.

"You're so fucking beautiful, Lyra," he tucked my hair behind my ear.

"We shouldn't be doing this Alpha," I tried to stop him but my voice was failing me. My pussy was pulsing with need. Darius hasn't touched me in such a long time.

Farleigh tossed me onto the couch. "Shhh," he whispered. My legs felt like jelly.

"Fuck me Farleigh, please just do it already!" He unbuttoned my trouser and the next thing I knew, my panties were off. He brought my underwear to his nose and sniffed it. "You're so fucking wet, Lyra. Is this all for me?" He asked.

I nodded, "Yes. Yes Alpha."

Alpha took one of my hard nipples straight into his mouth, sucking on it like. "Al..Alpha..." I moaned. With his other hand, he started massaging right tit.

"Spread your legs for me Lyra," he whispered into my ear. This is wrong, this isn't supposed to be happening.

I obeyed him regardless, spreading my legs further apart. He slipped two fingers straight into my soaking wet hole, thrusting his large fingers in and out.

"Alpha, please it's too much. I'm going to cum..." I screamed. My head tossed backward because of the pleasure.

He increased his pace, slipping another finger into me. Alpha rubbed his thumb over my swollen clit. I was going crazy. He was so much better than Darius in every way.

I could feel my pussy walls clamping against his fingers. I felt a shock go through me like I was being electrocuted.

I couldn't take it anymore, my breathing starting to increase. "Wait," Alpha whispered. He spread my legs further and placed himself in between.

"Alpha!" I screamed as the shaft of his cock touched my entrance.
