The 99th Prank: The Alpha’s Dead Luna
August · Completed · 6.5k Words
Introduction
For three years, I was the secret girlfriend of Damien, heir to the Bloodmoon Pack and my brother’s sworn enemy. For three years, I was his hidden toy, and I sat through ninety-eight cruel “pranks” without ever knowing they were pranks.
When they planned the last one, locking me alone in a condemned tower overnight, I finally woke up.
I faked my death. I let him find the ruins. I let him hear the words that would destroy him: “She was three months pregnant.”
Then I disappeared to London and started over.
When Damien finally found me, he had already destroyed everyone who ever hurt me. He had handed my brother land his family had fought over for three generations. And he was on his knees, begging me to come home.
But the dead don’t come back. And neither does my love.

They played ninety-nine pranks on me to break my brother. For the ninety-ninth, I gave them a corpse.

————
My brother, Ethan Vance, was Alpha of the Silverpine Pack. Damien was heir to the Bloodmoon Pack, Silverpine’s oldest enemy, and the only man I had ever loved.
I was the only wolf in my family who had never been able to shift. Without a wolf, I got sick like a human, healed like a human, and could be broken like one. Ethan had spent his whole life protecting me because of it. I repaid him by spending three years hiding Damien from him.
I gave Damien my whole heart. It took me three years to learn I had only ever been his weapon.
To find his family’s heirloom brooch, I searched through the snow for five hours with a 104-degree fever.
When I finally found it, all I wanted was to give it back to him and go to sleep. But through the half-open door of the lounge, I watched Damien drop the brooch straight into the trash and laugh along with his friends.
“Damien, you’re ruthless! Toying with Ethan’s little sister just to get under his skin. When Ethan finds out, he’s going to lose his mind!”
“Aria is so pathetic. Ninety-something pranks, and she still follows him around like a puppy. She has no idea Chloe’s the one that got away.”
“Who cares? Once we finish the ninety-ninth prank, we send every video to Ethan. That’ll wreck him.”
...
When I heard that, my heart stopped for two full seconds.
I pressed my hand over my mouth, swallowed my tears, and kept listening.
“It’s a free brooch that came with a gift set. We tell her it’s a family heirloom, and she spends five hours digging through a blizzard for it. You’ve got to admire the commitment.”
“That’s ninety-seven, right? Two more, and you can dump her and be with Chloe. And we get to wreck Ethan in the process. Win-win.”
“She has no clue we’re the reason she gave up that study-abroad spot. Or why the ceiling came down at her piano recital. Or why her dress split open at the gala. Hahaha!”
By the time they finished, my heart had turned to ash.
Three years ago, Damien had told me he loved me. I had been secretly in love with him long before that. I hid us from my brother because I thought I had found the real thing.
On the other side of that door, Damien lounged on the sofa, his eyes cold and bored. He didn’t even blink when they talked about me.
“Enough. Don’t get cocky,” he said. “We’ve still got two to go.”
“The sooner this is over, the sooner I can get rid of her. Chloe’s already giving me a hard time about it.”
All the tenderness he used to show me was gone. In its place was nothing but impatience, as if every minute he had spent with me had made his skin crawl.
I couldn’t listen to another word. I broke down and ran for the stairs.
The fever was still burning through me. I crouched on the curb outside and cried until I couldn’t breathe.
Then my phone rang. It was Ethan. I forced myself to calm down, wiped my face, and answered.
“Aria, are you sure you won’t come to London with me? I’m leaving Marcus in charge of the pack for a few years while I set up the European side of the business. And you’ll never reach your full potential as an artist if you stay here.”
He sounded disappointed. I had already turned him down more than once.
“No, Ethan. I mean yes. I’ll come with you.”
“That’s great! But what about that mystery boyfriend of yours? I thought you were head over heels for him.”
I let out a cold laugh.
“We broke up. And I need a favor, Ethan. I need a death certificate.”
Damien loved playing games with me. Fine. On his precious ninety-ninth prank, I would play one on him.
I went home and slept like the dead. When I woke up, a pair of warm hands was resting on my face.
“You’re still burning up. Sit up and take some medicine.”
He looked at me so gently, as if he truly loved me. If I hadn’t seen who he really was, I would have believed him.
I pulled away from his hands and took the pills on my own. “I can do it myself,” I said coldly.
Damien wrapped his arms around me from behind. “What’s wrong? Mad I didn’t get back sooner? Why are you so grumpy, baby?”
His hands started to slide under my shirt. For three years, I had given him whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted it, and I had told myself that was how he showed me he loved me.
Now I knew better. To him, I was just something to use.

Of me saying I want to climb him like a tree.
And he just. Texted. Back.
It's the dog's fault, really.
If this untrained Great Dane I'm walking had any manners at all, I never would've ended up here:
With my leash wrapped around the most gorgeous man I've ever seen.
Lucky for me, the guy is a good sport about it.
(Although his joke that “Dogs take after their owners” hits a little too close to home when Rufus starts humping his leg.)
He leaves me with his business card and a smile that makes my knees weak.
I'm still pinching myself as me and the bestie resume our walk.
“Methinks you had a little crush on him,” she accuses.
Not thinking and a little flustered by the whole experience, I reply, “I’d wrap my legs around his waist tighter than that leash.”
THAT'S when she reveals that she'd been recording my response.
THAT'S when she gives me the most devilish grin I've ever seen and says, “You're welcome.”
And THAT'S when she hands me my phone and reveals...
She sent the recording to him.
My heart is in my throat as those three little dots appear…
Then a text.
“PROVE IT.”

Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.

Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.
MOONLIT CHASE
But no, I had to walk through the park at midnight like an idiot. Now I've seen something I can't unsee—a massive black wolf tearing apart three men, then shifting into the hottest guy I've ever laid eyes on.
Kieran Vaughn. Wealthy lawyer, werewolf, and apparently, he thinks I'm his mate.
Here's the problem: I don't do relationships. I definitely don't do supernatural things. I absolutely don't do rich guys who think they can control my life just because their inner wolf has decided I smell like home.
When hunters start targeting me to get to him, Kieran drags me into his pristine penthouse for "protection." Now I'm living with a man who looks at me like I'm his last meal, whose touch sets my skin on fire, and who's barely holding onto his control.
He says everyone he loves dies. I say that's not my problem except it is because I'm falling for this broken, dangerous man and his beast.
And in his world? Love will get you killed.

The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.

Her.
Kellan Stroud is thirty, powerful, ruthless, and already waiting at Sturgis to meet the woman he expects to marry.

Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.
At twenty, Bobby is one of the youngest fully patched members of the Sons of Doom MC. He is quiet until he has something to say, dangerous when he needs to be, and smart enough to get into places no one else can. Hacking is what he does best.
Until Taryn gives him a new problem to solve.
One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.
But stealing another president’s future wife is not a misunderstanding.
It is an insult.
A betrayal.
And in the MC world, it can mean war.

Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.

Welcome to Elite Order Academy—where every desire has a price, and my body is the ultimate trophy.
Filled, Owned, and Fucked by My Best Friend’s Father
He was supposed to be off-limits. Untouchable. The kind of man you only fantasize about when you’re alone in the dark with your hand between your thighs.
But the night I caught him eating another woman alive by the pool, I couldn’t look away.
And he knew it.
The moment his dark eyes locked on mine through the glass, I became prey. His filthy smirk promised one thing—he saw me touching myself to him, and he wasn’t about to let me forget it.
Now, every time I’m in his house, I can’t breathe without thinking of his mouth between my legs.
I left my cheating boyfriend behind, only to fall into something even more dangerous:
a man who could ruin me, break me, and make me beg for his cock while his own daughter sleeps in the next room.
He’s too old. Too powerful. Too forbidden.
But Gianni doesn’t ask—he takes.
And I don’t want him to stop.
