"I, Grace Hawthorne reject Logan Harper," I announced with steel in my voice. The hall fell into deep silence, I could hear the sound of sweat dripping from Logan's forehead or my father's increasing heartbeat. Logan's face contorted with a mixture of anger and disbelief. "Grace, what are you doing? This is our wedding!" "Not anymore. I reject you." I announced once again. My father, Daniel, standing nearby, was seething with rage. He stepped forward, his face contorted with fury. In a fit of madness, he raised a hand as if to strike me, but before he could make contact, a commanding voice rang out, stopping him in his tracks. "How dare you lay a hand on my Mate?" Xander had appeared in a flash of power, his presence filling the room. His eyes bore into Daniel's with an intensity that sent a chill down everyone's spine. Everyone's face paled seeing the Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack, anger rushed through Daniel's features and he roared. "Not your mate, she is my daughter." Xander cut him off with a wave of his hand. "You dare to touch what's mine and I will show you what a real Alpha can do for his mate." Xander's growl had an intensity that shook even The wolf council. His deep blue eyes bored into mine and a slow smile grazed his features, he gestured to me to come toward him and I did. "Miss me Darling." he purred, and a chill ran down my spine.
"It's your birthday Grace, What are you doing out here?" a loud voice came behind me.
I looked at my friend Violet and let out a soft chuckle.
"I'm out for some air, you know, I'm a little nervous about what I have planned for tonight ......" I clasped my arms tighter around myself, trying to calm down a little.Today is my twentieth birthday and there was a grand celebration, but I felt so overwhelmed.
But that was not all, today, something drastic was about to happen.
I was ready to give my virginity to my mate, my boyfriend Logan. We are going to marry tomorrow, so this was the best gift I could give to him.
We had been dating for the last two years, and they were the best years of my life. Logan was everything I hoped for, he was caring, loving, and considerate.
Even though there were times he could be persistent, but we were great together. Being the daughter of the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, relationships were always hard for me. Because you never know, when someone was really into you or they were into the power that I came along with.
Sexual relationships were common in the pack life, but my relationship with Logan was nothing like that because I wanted to be sure if he really wanted to be with me. My mother always told me that if a man can't respect a small decision of his partner, then it wasn't worth wasting time on him. But Logan was different, he loved me for who I was and not because of what I could make him.
So, therefore, I decided that today we are going to erase that difference and be together for real. I was going to have sex with him.
I came back to the party with Violet and noticed the lively faces of my family and my close friends. Each member of my pack was here, to celebrate my birthday, my happiness.
I was a little nervous thinking about Logan and bubbles of excitement burst through me. This was it, this was the night when I would be his forever.
I looked around, my gut dropped in disappointment when Logan was nowhere around the party. I checked my phone and noticed his message.
He was stuck somewhere at work and would be late. I was disappointed but understood that he had his own life, not everything revolved around me.
But still, I felt a little bad.
I looked around at the dazzling lights and lively faces. The biggest of them was Daniel Hawthorne, my father. He was the happiest person after knowing about my relationship with Logan.
I always longed for his love and appreciation. And with one decision, I had it all. It was a blessing. But my mood soured the next moment when I noticed my stepmom, Lizzie, resting her hand on his elbow. As if anyone will forget he belongs to her.
She might be afraid of Karma.
Lizzie was a shrewd woman, she was in a relationship with my father, being completely aware that he was mated to my mother. They even had a daughter, Emma. Who was just as cunning as her mother.
And when my mother died ten years ago, just like the venomous snake they entered my house and acted like she owned that place. But she was never going to be our pack's Luna, she knew that, and maybe this was the reason why she always tried to be close to my father.
I frowned and noticed Emma was also missing from the party, which was all fine with me. But I didn't trust this mother-daughter duo at all.
I tried to contact Logan with the mind link, but all in vain. I was blocked.
I moved to a little secluded area, to concentrate more but, it was as if there was a heavy wall built to stop our communication.
A chill ran down my spine, thinking that something bad had happened to Logan. I moved farther away from the party, but the weight on my link remained the same.
But a soft moan fell on my ears.
I followed the noise, the moaning sound became louder.
I looked into the room where the noises were coming from and I staggered back.
In that room, Emma was on her knees for Logan. His pants were down and Emma was slurping on his cock.
The only sound that was very evident in the room was heavy breathing and Emma's slurping.
Logan's eyes were closed and he was enjoying whatever Emma was doing to him.
"Oh, baby, you are the best." Logan moaned, and by this Emma became more excited, bobbing her head, up and down.
"Ahh.." he moaned again, and something broke inside of me.
I loved this fucking man, and he was here, fucking my step-sister. And that was so on my fucking birthday.
After his release, he lifted Emma with her hair and kissed her. There was no softness in it.
"You are so much better than your prudish sister." Logan laughed and kissed Emma again.
My eyes widened at this, my heart started beating radically. Every sound, every laughter was a dagger to my heart.
"We have been together for two years and she won't even let me near her, let alone see her pussy, she is a disgrace. Unlike you who is made for taking my cock." Logan said and tried to kiss Emma again, but she pushed him.
His words hung in the air like poison and my world crumbled with them.
"So what? You are still going to marry her, right?" There was a fire in Emma's voice as if she was challenging him.
"Baby, Grace is my mate and I have to marry her, that's what my parents told me to do, otherwise I can't be the alpha of our pack, but I can promise you that as soon as my inheritance ceremony is complete, I'm going to break my bond with her and you'll be my new Luna!"
I heard Emma laugh triumphantly and I shuddered as the blood in my legs froze. But how could this happen? I thought Logan was the one. The one who was going to love me with all his heart.
I loved him, but now I was standing here, outside the room while he was having a time of his life with my fucking sister.
"Those two bitches! Grace let me out and I'm going to gut them!" My wolf growled angrily in my head.
"Grace! What are you hesitating for? You can't really be so cowardly as to turn a blind eye when you see the betrayal of these two vipers, can you?" My wolf growled again pulling me back from the darkness.
I clenched my teeth and exhaled breath from my chest, foul, bitchy, asshole! I'll show everyone at the party your true colors.
As I was about to enter the room and confront both of them, I was dragged to the adjoining room.
I was furious at the audacity of the person, who dared to touch me.
"How.." but I stopped mid-sentence, seeing the familiar gray eyes. My father, Blood Moon pack's alpha.
"Stop, you can't confront them. At least not right now," he stated.
