Introduction

Damon Xander, the heartless, cold-blooded tycoon. He runs this city with everyone in it. His reputation was enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. My brother sold me. Damon owns me now. I was replacing the position of his fiancé, who was having an affair with my brother, as his bride and a marriage contract with him bound me. I was secretly guilty of falling in love with him. When he demanded that I fulfill my promise to give him a son, I learned that he was the wolf pack's Alpha while I was just a human girl. Why did he choose me? Can I run away from this unreasonable werewolf?

Chapter 1

PIPER

"Where's Harper? I hate waiting too long; my wedding should have started twenty minutes ago!"

I pouted in frustration; Mr Damon's baritone tone was killing me. "I'm sorry, Sir, I'll go over to Miss Harper now!"

"Let me! And tell Johan to calm the guests down!"

My forehead furrowed anxiously. "I-I will..." I answered anxiously while glancing in various directions to look for Johan.

"Damn, why can't you work when I'm fucking paying you? I have to step in for all this!"

Damon's mood worsened; his wedding day would be a disaster. "I'm sorry, Sir!" My eyes glanced at the other servants so that they gathered together.

As Damon's long legs approached the bride's waiting room, we followed him with alert steps.

"You guys should have ensured Harper got to the altar on time; what the hell, you've all gathered in the hall without her!" Damon grumbled

Throughout the hall, Damon cursed at us. He just doesn't know how hard it is for us to deal with Harper. They make a great couple, I think. Damon is the notoriously cruel tycoon, and Harper is the spoiled girl with many rules.

"This isn't good; the mega-industry tycoon received something bad on his wedding day, Piper? Are you sure Miss Harper told you to go first? Why don't you take her along?" protested Sonya, the leader of the maid team.

"I'm pretty sure Miss Harper was ready to go down the aisle after I left her!" I answered, feeling guilty. This is my sixth month moving to Monroe Mannor to help Johan and my brother work.

Damon Monroe is as intimidating as the boss, a devil with a handsome face, and damn I fell in love with him. Some of the servants call him Alpha; I don't understand why. I just need to help my brother raise money to buy back the house our parents left behind and pay for my studies.

"Harper, why are you taking so long? Let's hurry to..." Damon trailed off; there was no one in the bridal waiting room.

Damon's olive irises darted in different directions, his chest heaving as he gasped for air. "Fuck!" he grumbled, making us even more anxious.

"What is Damon doing?" I whispered confusedly, the veins in his neck popping out as his face turned red

"For God's sake, where is Miss Harper?" said Sonya, glancing at us individually.

Damon passed us; of course, we were still following his steps. "Now Damon chooses to remain silent," I muttered, no more angry chatter from him.

We turned towards the eastern waiting room; I could feel Damon's anger coursing through his veins. Has something happened?

Damon's strong hands pushed open the brown door with gold floral patterns. We went in without any suspicion, but the sight we saw afterward made us all scream.

"Oh, my God!" I screamed in silence

"Miss Harper? For God's sake!" Sonya let out a scream.

Harper is having sex with Johan on the couch. Harper's position sitting on top of Johan made it difficult for her to move; her body scrambled to fix the mane of her wedding dress, and we were forced to see the chaos on their faces.

"Damon, I can explain; it's not what you think." Harper was half messy; even the locks of her hair that I had seen were beautiful and now tousled.

"Mr. Damon, we didn't do anything; we just…." Johan's words were stopped because Damon had thrown a fist at his cheekbone.

"No!" I screamed in surprise; I couldn't see that. Everything went too fast, and Johan fell to the floor. He grimaced, holding his cheek.

"What has your brother done, Piper? You have awakened the sleeping devil," Sonya scolded me. The other maids whispered, enjoying the show.

Harper touched Damon's arm, tears streaming down her face, mixing with her makeup. "Babe, listen to me, okay? I told you, I can explain this!"

"There's fucking nothing you need to explain to me here, Harper! You fucked my house, butler?"

"I didn't mean it like this. I just was tempted, and..."

"Hah, that's funny!" Johan snorted; he raised his head shamelessly, "Tempted, you say? Why don't you just be honest, Harper? You enjoy making love to me, too!" he said

"Johan, stop!" I rebuked him, "What have you done? Please stop, "I begged desperately.

Johan got me trapped as a servant in that manor and made me pay for all the mess he made for our late parents.

"Stop for what? Honestly, Harper would have married you, Mr. Damon, but she damn wanted my touch and was afraid of losing it, so we made love, and that's called hot love."

"Johan, please! Don't make things worse!" Harper whined; she still held onto Damon's arm tightly. "Babe, don't listen to him, okay? We need to talk!"

"I don't want to talk to a woman who has already made love to a human!"

My brows furrowed; what does the term human mean? My knees lost strength when Damon turned to look at me as if he was going to throw me to hell afterward.

"You took Harper's place in marrying me today!" he said

"Wait, what?" Harper also glanced at me. "Babe, don't joke! You're angry because I fucked a human, but you're going to marry that human woman? Just like that?"

"Yeah, just fucking like that! Oh honey, this is not my anger, but it shows how low your quality is. I'm Damon Monroe, Alpha Coralmoon Pack. I reject you as my mate, Harper, and I'm marrying Piper Prescott today."

Two men came after him. One of them is Luther, who I know as Damon's assistant. I'm still stuck in a place of disbelief at this situation.

"Get Piper ready in her wedding dress!"

"Mr Damon, without prejudice to my respect for you, but I can't possibly…." I said I was worried

"I will kill your brother without hesitation, Piper! The choice is yours!" Damon didn't threaten, but he would.

My eyes turned to Luther, who had pulled Johan's hair, made him kneel, and put the tip of the knife against Johan's neck. Again and again, my body shook in fear.

"Damon, think again! You will regret the decision you took in this angry state." Harper was still trying to persuade him

"Am I the one who asked you to betray and destroy everything? I want a wife to maintain the family tradition and control my inheritance! So nothing can stop me from that!"

"But sir, I can't possibly marry you because..." I'm confused about this.

"That's right, sir; Piper is only a C-class maid in our Mannor, so…." Sonya tried to enter the conversation, but it was no use

"LUTHER!" Damon's tone rose; his assistant just nodded his head, and he stabbed the tip of the knife into Johan's neck

"NO, wait, stop!" I screamed anxiously.

Johan grimaced with his eyes closed. "Piper, you want me to die, huh? Obey his orders, damn bitch!" he said, scared. Am I the one causing problems here?

Damon dragged me, "Be a good sister to your brother, and come with me down the aisle, NOW!" I don't know what will happen to me after this, even though I'm secretly in love with Damon.

Everyone thought we were hockey’s most violent rivals, but they didn't know I’ve spent seven years obsessing over exactly how he would look when he finally broke for me.

Ethan Ryder was a disaster waiting to happen. Hot-headed, reckless, and constantly one bad decision away from ruining his career. I was supposed to hate him. Instead, I memorized him. I learned exactly how to push his buttons on the ice just to see the fire in his eyes.

When he grabbed my jersey in that locker room and kissed me in front of twenty cameras, it wasn't a mistake. It was the moment the line between hatred and obsession finally snapped. The media called it a scandal. They called us a divorced couple. But they didn't see the way Ethan trembled when I cornered him in the hallway afterward.

"You're staring again," he whispered, his back hitting the wall.
"You're still here," I replied calmly, stepping close enough to feel his erratic pulse.

He thought I was cold. He thought I was controlled. He didn't realize that every time he looked at me, I was fighting the urge to completely destroy the distance between us.

Now, the league is forcing us to live together, train together, and smile for the cameras to fix our public image. But the more time we spend alone in my apartment, the harder it is to pretend I just want to play hockey...

He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.

Soft hot lips find the shell of my ear and he whispers, "You think I don't want you?" He pushes his hips forward, grinding into the back of my ass and I groan. "Really?" He chuckles.

I caught him.

The man I was meant to marry—the rising Alpha, the pride of the Pack—thrusting into another girl like I didn't exist.

But I didn't cry. I didn't scream. I didn't even flinch.

Because the pain had carved me hollow long before he ever touched her.

He thinks I'm weak. That I'll stand by his side in two days, smile for the ceremony, and hand him my loyalty with the Alpha title.

But he's wrong.

I'm not the broken little Luna they think I am. I'm the storm they never saw coming.

The Pack worships him, but only I know the truth buried beneath his perfect lies. So I'll take everything he wants most—the throne, the title, the crown he was born to wear—and win it out from under him, in front of everyone who ever called me unworthy.

Screw the Pack. Screw the respect. Screw being tame.

I'm fury dressed in skin, madness wearing heels, and heartbreak turned into a goddamn weapon.

They wanted a loyal Luna??

Instead...

They created a monster.

And when the throne is finally mine...

The Pack won't remember the name of the Alpha who betrayed me.

They'll remember the woman who took his crown...

and became the First Female Alpha.
