Introduction
Luckily, Xavier is her only solace, and he vows to always be by her side. But on the day Xavier comes of age, their tight-knit relationship is shattered.
Is it a joke that the Luna has decided that Xavier's brother Jasper is Lsabella's MATE?
Lsabella also feels confused from time to time. Even though she has a MATE, it seems that there are two forces pulling her in the dark, and she cannot easily identify her heart...
With the full moon coming up, can they find their other half under the guidance of the Luna?
Chapter 1
Lsabella's pov :
"Levi, have you heard? The only female Alpha on the East Continent will also be coming to this meeting!"
"Of course, I heard that she is the most beautiful woman in the Blood Moon Pack!"
Levi and his companion's conversation was not too loud, but it still immediately caught the attention of the gentlemen in suits present.
They gathered around, forming a circle of the discussion centered on the card table.
"Guys, you know what? Besides her pretty face, she's got a great body! Especially that pair of full breasts ......"
A Beta with a silver badge pinned on began to speak, followed by the bearded Beta sitting on the single couch with both eyes glowing.
"Really? I heard about her a long time ago, I want to see if her bed skills are as good as the rumors say today!"
His words caused the men present to laugh, and they seemed to have completely forgotten their identities.
Even though everyone here looked so genteel, their disgusting faces could not be concealed by their fancy clothes alone.
"Of course, Ezra, she will definitely come. After all, this is the dinner before the Alpha meeting."
The more they talked, the more excited they got, and the louder their voices got, even as a few of the male Betas couldn't wait to start looking around.
"So, did she really rely on seducing men in bed to become an Alpha?" A somewhat younger blue-haired Beta questioned.
"What else could it be, Luke, think about it, what pack warrior would allow a woman to overpower them?"
Their discussion was lively, and I stood listening quietly for a while.
These men were truly disgusting, and if I didn't step in, I wondered what other disgusting things they would say.
"If we go by what you guys are saying, this female Alpha has her fair share of excesses. However, why do I look at all of you here, all of you look like disgusting slugs, and don't see any qualifications to be a Beta at all?"
I stepped out from the shadows in my black stiletto heels, put one foot on the coffee table, and began to straighten my skirt without a care in the world.
The Beta's seemed irritated by my words and they looked at me with hostility.
But I didn't have my pin, and they didn't know who I was, so they didn't dare to attack.
The man named "Luke" stood up and carefully began to test my identity: "Who are you?
"Who are you?"
I hooked the collar of the man sitting on the single sofa, he licked his lips and obediently gave up his seat for me.
I sat down lazily on my side amidst the burning eyes of the crowd.
The silver high-cut dress outlined the beautiful curves of my figure, and I knew I had a fatal attraction.
Because I only did this one action, the anger in the eyes of the men sitting next to me had been replaced by a burgeoning desire.
Their eyes wandered over my body like a salivating dog.
"Who am I? I'm the one who can be Alpha if you few wolves re-form a pack, good dogs."
"Damn, where's the crazy guy from!
A man in a light blue shirt was obviously angered by my words, he stood up "with a swoosh" and raised his fist to swing at my face.
Fortunately, the person next to him held him down.
This Beta is the kind of stupid man who is simple-minded and has good limbs.
I was not afraid of him, and even had some provocation in my eyes, after all, I can take care of ten men like this at once.
Luke pulled the somewhat agitated man back to his seat and whispered in his ear, "Soren, why are you having a problem with a woman, we don't know who she is yet, you can't mess up this party!"
With Luke's persuasion, the man's anger subsided.
But after such a mess just now, everyone present was a bit embarrassed, and they began to adjust the topic to shift their attention to another gossip.
At that moment, Levi came over with a glass of wine.
He had gone to a social gathering and only now returned, so he did not know what had just happened.
He was staring straight at my breasts, and he didn't look like a nice guy.
Out of politeness, I gave him a polite fake smile, and a glint of greed immediately appeared in his eyes.
"Sweetheart, you're so beautiful, which pack are you from?"
He slowly approached me, his eyes sweeping over my body with some abandon.
"Oh? You don't have a badge, I'm guessing which Alpha brought you, you're not Jasper's date, are you?"
"What?"
A sharp female voice full of questions rang out from behind me.
I turned back and a hot beauty walked over with an alluring stride.
She was about 5'8" tall, with curly blonde hair and a high-cut, backless dress that was able to reveal a section of her bare thighs with every step she took, her legs exuding the ultimate seduction between the concealment and exposure of her skirt.
It was only when she walked in that I noticed the heavy makeup on her face, the high end of her eyes, and the mole under her eyes, all deepening her charm.
This was the first time I had seen her, but I was able to conclude that she was a very popular male beauty.
She heard Levi talking to me and walked haughtily up to him, scanning the crowd with a contemptuous gaze.
"Who in this room is worthy to be Jasper's female companion except me?"
"Wow wow wow, let's guess who this is? Charlotte! I haven't seen you for a long time, and you're getting prettier.."
Levi stood up and tried to kiss the back of Charlotte's hand, but Charlotte pretended not to see it and crossed over him to sit directly next to me.
She crossed her legs and elegantly propped one arm on the couch while the other was casually placed on her thigh.
This position exposed the beauty of this beauty's chest.
I could tell the men in the room were a little afraid of Charlotte, but they couldn't take their eyes off her chest.
It was like a stand-up comedy scene, and I couldn't help but let out a laugh.
Charlotte immediately turned her attention to me.
"Who's this? I've never seen it before, it looks like it has some beauty, but it's definitely not good enough for Jasper."
I raised my eyes to look at her but did not counter her provocation.
Levi immediately came up to Charlotte's ear and whispered an explanation: "Don't be angry, Charlotte, we don't know her identity either, we were just guessing, everything was a joke."
"What identity can she have," Charlotte's eyes swept back and forth over my body without fear: "With her looks, she can only hook up with a Beta, right?"
This is too boring, this group of stupid people, I really do not bother to play with them anymore.
I waved towards the waiter who was standing aside and waiting for me respectfully.
In an instant, all eyes converged on me, following the movement of my finger.
"So...sweetheart you're a Beta too?"
Levi saw this scene a little curious, he thought I just forgot to wear my "Beta" medal.
After all, in this world, female Beta is also rare.
Until I took a golden badge with crossed swords and spears off the tray and slowly pinned it to my chest.
This bright and shiny badge, as if it had a magical power, instantly froze the entire group solid.
They opened their mouths and eyes and froze in place, unable to say a word.
This is a symbol of the Alpha's noble status of the medal, only the most honored Alpha status can wear.
At this moment, the atmosphere was terribly quiet.
I raised my red wine glass and waved it in front of the crowd, my smile now more or less laced with viciousness: "I raised my red wine glass and waved it in front of the men, my smile now more or less laced with viciousness: "Good evening, gentlemen, want to try what it's like to be tied to a bed by the world's only female Alpha?"
Hearing my words, the men's faces were instantly written with embarrassment as they glanced at each other before scattering and fleeing.
Charlotte did not leave, but her expression became subtle because of my words.
I don't know what came to her mind, and she suddenly sneered.
"The first thing you need to do is to get to the point where you've been in bed with a lot of men to get to this position. Faced with pushing mountains of work and still needing a man's help, right?
I don't understand why Charlotte is so hostile to me.
But I had other tasks tonight and didn't want to waste too much time with her.
"Miss Charlotte, this must be our first meeting, right? I think there is no need for you to clash with me, there are so many people here watching you, if this ruins your beautiful image, it's not worth it right?"
I smiled at Charlotte, who was obviously unprepared, and froze briefly.
Then she resumed her mean and sinister smile: "You don't have to pretend to be a good person, I know what you are here for, I warn you, don't hit on Jasper, I advise you to keep a low profile, you third-rate piece of shit from the trash heap is only worthy of being in the trash heap!"
I didn't care what she said, I really didn't need to argue with such a snobbish and brainless woman.
The dinner party is about to start.
I didn't bother talking to Charlotte anymore and returned to my seat alone.
At that moment, there was another noise from the door.
Is there any noteworthy person coming?
I turned around and a pleasant figure appeared in my eyes.
It was my Beta: Xavier.
He was 6'3" tall, with a strong muscular body shrouded in a black tuxedo, a tailored suit that fit his body perfectly and trimmed his toned figure, and a tall, erect stance that allowed him to be noticed at a glance in the crowd even at such a high-level party.
Xavier's blonde hair seems to be rare and attentive grooming, all pulled back at the back of his head.
His icy blue eyes carry a cold light that belongs to predators, and his angular features highlight the indifferent elements of his personality. Xavier's powerful aura made the men present can't help but marvel.
When Xavier's face is expressionless, his eyes are sharp like a knife. But the next second when he saw me, his gaze became much softer in an instant, like the spring sunshine that melts the hard ice.
Xavier walked straight over to me, he bent his knees and half crouched to hold my hand, he looked into my eyes and gently dropped a kiss on the back of my hand: "My Alpha, I'm sorry I'm late."
I smiled faintly at him, "Just in time."
Xavier's Pov:
I pinned the rose brooch to one side of my collar and took a seat next to Lsabella. All around me were people who were in the way, their eyes and whispers falling where they shouldn't.
I stole a glance at Lsabella, who looked normal and unaffected.
That's good.
Liam, the leader of the Fai Moon Pack, and his personal escort approached in our direction.
These two men slowly approached Lsabella and sat down in front of us without permission.
Their eyes were frivolous and kept drifting up and down Lsabella's body.
I was calm on the surface, but my clenched fists were getting harder and harder.
These guys who disrespected Lsabella, I wanted to crush their eyes.
Suddenly, a pair of gentle hands wrapped around my fist, and I scrambled to collect the hostility in my eyes.
I turned my head and saw Lsabella smiling at me.
The red satin-like hair baked her fair cheeks, turquoise eyes like two precious stones, her light smile when the corners of her eyes curved, the slightest inattention can hook my soul.
I was mesmerized and looked at her uncontrollably for a few seconds more, then meekly lowered my eyes.
The atmosphere gradually eased, but Liam put his disgusting hand on my shoulder.
I looked up and coldly met those fat, greasy eyes.
Some of the prodigals of the wolf clan, relying on the advantages accumulated by their ancestors, can actually enjoy being as fat as their prey in comfort.
He patted me on the shoulder.
"This gentleman looks sharp-eyed, strong and strong, very Alpha."
Beta behind him immediately echoed, "Indeed, I think so too, but how come he's willing to pin a silver brooch?"
The fat pig's eyes immediately returned to Lsabella, his eyes wandering over her body, revealing his nasty mind.
"Is there something special about this beauty?
"It does look like there's a bit of skill, both in the council chamber and in... bed."
The two men looked at each other and looked up and laughed at the same time.
Lsabella looked at them indifferently, not responding to their humiliation.
This indulged Liam, who grew bold enough to reach out a hand to caress Lsabella's face.
"Such a beauty deserves to be loved...hahahahaha!"
The moment his hand was about to defile Lsabella, I shot out and grabbed his wrist, gently folding it in the direction of the back of his hand, and Liam let out a pig-killing howl.
Lsabella gently closed her eyes.
I immediately flung my hand and threw the man to the ground not far away, I went up to his feet, and a few more crunching sounds of broken bones rang out from his body: "Why did you offend my Alpha?"
My tone was soft, but not muffled in the howl.
Liam seemed startled by the murderous aura that emerged from my eyes, his eyes growing wide and his expression increasingly frightened.
My movements were so fast that Beta beside Liam didn't react at the moment.
It wasn't until his cries for help resounded throughout the banquet hall that Beta came to his senses and attacked me frantically.
But soon he was also thrown to the ground by me, unable to move.
"That'll do, Xavier," the majestic but pleasant voice sounded behind me.
I immediately stood up and returned to Lsabella with a calm face as if nothing had happened.
"Sorry, Alpha, for the trouble."
"It's okay," Lsabella glanced coldly at Liam lying howling on the ground: "It's just garbage."
Lsabella's pov :
The Alpha and Beta around them just watched this happen silently, and no one was willing to come up to the aid of Liam and his little henchmen who had fallen to the ground.
The advantage of the weak and the strong is that the status relationship between individual packs is floating.
As long as I can hold you to the ground, I am the victor.
No one would sympathize with an Alpha who couldn't even beat a Beta.
After getting Xavier's lesson, Liam escapes with his Beta like a falling dog.
After ending the farce, the party behind me was lively again.
I think that's a good start.
To ease the mood, I took Xavier out of the venue.
He followed me quietly, and I didn't say a word, just led him to a small, secluded garden at the side of the estate.
We stood in the small garden and he gave me a meek look before lowering his eyes, completely devoid of the aura of wanting to kill a Noble Alpha that he had just had.
Sure enough, this kid is quite good at disguising himself.
I held out my hand in front of him: "Give me your right hand."
Xavier's body stiffened and quietly hid his hand behind his back.
How dare he disobey my order?
I reached straight out and yanked Xavier's right hand from behind his back, then rolled up his sleeve.
Sure enough, his wound had opened up again, and bright red blood seeped out, staining a small piece of his shirt sleeve.
This is the trace left by the fight with the lions.
We encountered a group of lions on our way to the meeting, and he was injured to protect me.
I re-bandaged Xavier's wound with a stern face, looking at Xavier's cautious eyes and feeling a little uncomfortable reprimanding him.
But my mouth was still unforgiving: "Don't be so impulsive next time, I can handle it."
Xavier does not know what to be happy about, handsome face with a smile.
I don't know why I feel better when I see him like this.
He answered me softly, "Got it."
I wrapped more gauze around his arm, hoping that no more wounds would come apart.
Xavier has a good temper on weekdays, but only if he's not with me.
The boy used to listen to me, and although he's well behaved now, he already has a mind of his own.
"Xavier, go back to the place where you live and wait for me, you just offended Liam, he will certainly not let you off the hook for this. Such a scumbag, I will definitely not allow to let him find you in trouble again."
"No!" As I expected, Xavier immediately said no: "What if they offend you like that again? Let me follow you, let me protect you."
I am at least an Alpha, not so weak that I need Beta's personal protection.
Our pack may be small, but every member of the clan is a fearless and powerful warrior.
"Beta, Xavier!"
I moved my own majesty as an Alpha: "I now order you in the name of the Alpha to return to your room immediately and not to continue following me to tonight's banquet."
Xavier's eyes were full of loss, but it was the Alpha's order, and he as my Beta had to obey absolutely.
"Yes, Alpha."

"Dance on my lap."
My head screamed at me to turn around and run. But my whole body responded to his command.
"Yes, Alpha," I pulled my dress over my body, it dropped over my head and fell to the ground behind me. I was left in nothing but my matching bra and thong. My hands covered my chest on reflex.
"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.

The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...

Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.
The Contract Wife: Marriage Of Malice
He didn't finish. He didn't need to.
I didn't tell him to stop.
Instead, my fingers curled into his shirt, clutching the fabric as though it was my only anchor. Something in him snapped—something he had been holding back for too long. His mouth found mine in a kiss that wasn't tender, but hungry, desperate.
I gasped into him, his hand sliding up to cup my jaw, holding me as if afraid I might vanish.
"You drive me insane," he breathed against my mouth, his lips trailing to my throat. "I can't lose you, Ella. Not you."
My head fell back, a soft sound escaping me as his fingers memorized my waist. My anger melted beneath his desperation.
"James..." I whispered, more plea than protest.
His hand caught mine, fingers threading together tightly. "I'll bring him back. I swear it. Just... don't turn away from me. Please."
The word please—low, ragged, almost broken—undid me more than anything else could have.
Ella never imagined she would marry the man she had secretly loved for years in such a way.
When her brother Theo faced twenty-five years in prison for massive embezzlement, the ruthless business tycoon James Lancaster offered her a deal: marry him in exchange for her brother's freedom.
This wasn't a fairy tale proposal, but a carefully orchestrated revenge. Because in James's heart, Ella was the culprit who had killed his sister Cecilia. He wanted her to pay the price—to atone with a lifetime of suffering.
