Chosen By The Enemy Alpha

Chapter 1 – Annie’s POV

Dissapointment 

The cold night air touched my skin as I walked along the border of the Silvermoon Pack. The moon was low in the sky, giving a soft light to the dark trees around me. I had done this many times before—watching, listening, making sure no danger entered our land. But tonight, something felt wrong.

I pushed the bad feeling away and tried to mind-link my mate Caleb, the future Alpha.

Caleb? I called through the link. No answer.

I frowned. He ignored me often, but this time, the silence felt strange. I tried again.

Caleb, I’m at the border. Is everything okay?

Suddenly, a sharp pain hit my head like fire burning through my mind. I gasped, my vision going blurry as the pain got worse. It felt like something inside me was being torn apart—like my wolf was being taken away from me.

Then, everything went dark.

When I woke up, my head throbbed. My body was sprawled on the cold ground, my limbs weak. Panic shot through me as I tried to reach out to my wolf, Leya.

Leya?

Silence.

A chill ran through me. My wolf had always been a little unstable—she had come to me late, but she was strong. Still, she had never gone completely silent before.

I tried mind-linking Caleb again, desperation creeping into my voice. Caleb, please, something’s wrong. I need help.

Nothing.

Then, a single message broke through the block.

“I’m with your sister. She needs me.”

My blood ran cold. My sister? Since when did she—?

Anger bubbled up inside me, pushing away the dizziness as I forced myself to my feet. My legs felt like lead as I stumbled back toward the pack house, my heart hammering.

The moment I stepped inside, I felt it.

A shift in the air.

My entire family was gathered in the living room. My mother and father sat stiffly, their eyes darting to me as I entered. But what made my stomach twist was him.

Caleb.

Sitting right there on the couch.

Holding hands with my sister, Celeste.

The sight sent a wave of nausea crashing over me.

“What the hell is going on?” My voice came out hoarse, strained with disbelief.

Caleb had the audacity to look at me like I was overreacting. “Annie, listen—”

“No,” I snapped. “Explain. Now.”

He sighed as if he was the one suffering. “Celeste’s condition is getting worse,” he said, squeezing her hand. “She doesn’t have much time left. Her only wish is to mate with me before she dies.”

My ears rang.

I looked at my sister, the same sister who had never shown any interest in Caleb before, the same sister who had always been delicate and soft-spoken, now staring at me with wide, tear-filled eyes.

“Annie,” she murmured weakly, as if just speaking drained her, “I love him. I always have. This is my only wish.”

Something inside me cracked.

I turned back to Caleb, my mate—the one I had stood by, trained for, bled for. “You’re mating my sister? What about me?” My voice shook with barely contained fury.

Caleb had the nerve to smile at me, as if I was being unreasonable. “After all, she’s your sister,” he said smoothly. “We’re lucky to live in peaceful times. As the future Luna, you should have a big heart, Annie. Be kind. Think of Celeste—she doesn’t have much time left. Once she’s gone, I promise, you will be my Luna.”

I felt like I had been punched in the gut.

So that was it? I was supposed to wait for my sister to die so I could have my mate back?

Celeste clutched Caleb’s arm, sniffling. “I just want to experience love before I go, Annie. Can’t you do this for me?”

For her?

I clenched my fists, my claws itching to rip through my skin. I had spent years training, pushing myself to be the best warrior in this pack, despite my unstable bond with Leya. I had fought for this pack.

And this was my reward?

“Be reasonable, Annie,” my father spoke up. “Celeste is sick. And we heard of a doctor—a great one. Maybe if you take some time away from the pack, you can find them and help her.”

I let out a short, bitter laugh. Ah, I see.

So if I found the doctor and saved my sister, then what? Celeste lives, and I lose everything?

If I failed, I would still be cast aside.

The betrayal burned like acid in my chest.

I gazed at Caleb, my alleged mate, and Celeste, my sister, with nothing but disgust.

"Congratulations," I spoke, my tone dripping with venom.

Their relief infuriated me.

I was there, betrayed and helpless, when I sensed a presence in my mind. It was Mariana, our pack doctor and friend. "Annie, I've been trying to reach you. Are you having issues with your wolf again?" she asked, concern etched in her mental voice.

I breathed deeply and updated her on what was going on. "Mariana, it's not only my wolf. It's…it's everything. My boyfriend, my family.they're all against me."

There was a pause, and then Mariana's voice came back on the line, calm and steady. "I'm coming to get you. We'll figure this out together."

I nodded, feeling a lump form in my throat. I was grateful for Mariana's support.

En route to the neighboring pack, I filled Mariana in on the rest of the details. She listened intently, her expression growing more concerned by the minute.

When I'd finished, she paused for a moment to choose her words carefully before speaking. "There's a doctor in the Riley pack who might be able to help your sister. They're good people, even if there is animosity between our packs."

I lifted an eyebrow. "The Riley pack? But.but they're our rivals."

Mariana nodded. "I know, but like I said, they're good people. And desperate times call for desperate measures. We have to do everything we can to help your sister."

I took a deep breath, weighing my options. I knew that going to the Riley pack was risky, but I also knew that I had to do everything in my power to save my sister.

"Alright," I said finally. "Let's go."

Mariana nodded and turned the car towards the Riley pack's territory. As we drove, I couldn't help but feel a wave of unease.
