Breaking through Alex's concrete wall is not going to be easy, but Mia wants to make him human again. Will it be possible?

Chapter 1 1

The cool breeze of spring whizzed softly through the trees, which swayed in the direction of the wind. The wind rustled on the rooftop of the Crystal Moon pack, and it seemed like there was going to be a drizzle later in the day. "Son?" Alpha James Heartman suddenly said with a bright smile on his face.

"Hm?" Alexander barely responded, having a blank expression on his face as he stared at his father.

They were seated in the dining room, having breakfast. "I'll be appointing you as the Alpha of this pack before the end of today," Heartman announced, and Alex stared at him without saying a word.

"Your mother and I... Heartman continued, holding Lauren's hand, and both of them were beaming with smiles. "We have both decided that this is the perfect time to tour around the globe." "I would not be able to do this with your mother if I do not retire now," he explained, and Alex still said nothing; his green eyes were fixed on the chair opposite him as if that was where the voice of his father was coming from.

"You've been the acting Alpha since I became too feeble to rule." "The people already see you as the alpha, but I shall make it official tonight," he said further. "Don't miss us too much, okay?" Heartman added. "I'll miss my son, James," Lauren said, making a pout on her lips as she placed her hand on Alex's own on the table. "Won't you miss me, Alex?" She asked sweetly, but as usual, she got the cold shoulder from him. He was unresponsive to her tender words or to her soft hand on his.

She looked over at Heartman, who shook his head and shrugged. She took her hand away from Alex's. They've been this way with him for years and could never fully understand why he was this way, this cold, to even his parents. He still did not portray any emotions toward what he had just been told as he continued eating in silence. Neither of them knew the thoughts that went through his mind.

Lauren leaned into Heartman, and he cuddled her, extracting a giggle from her. Alex stood up as soon as he was done eating, unbothered by the romanticism or affection going on between his parents. He walked out of the dining room and headed out of the packing house. He met his beta, Hendrix, standing outside, the breeze blowing through his hair. Hendrix turned around when he felt a presence, and he saw Alex.

"The weather is quite unpredictable today, don't you think so, Alex?" "We have no idea if it might rain or not," he said to him. Alex walked down the few flights of steps on the porch. "Go straight to the point, Hendrix," Alex replied. Hendrix's face brightened. "Today might not be a good day to step out," Hendrix revealed his thoughts. "A drizzle scares you?" Alex inquired as he walked past him. "Of course not." "I'm just being skeptical," Hendrix replied. "It's not going to rain," Alex assured him, as he took the route that led to the river in the woods, with Hendrix right behind him.

The river was a place he stayed to meditate and clear his mind of all the thoughts troubling him. Hendrix was the only one he interacted with very well, and he trusted him more than even his own parents.

Only Hendrix was aware of the things that troubled his soul. Mia Jayden stealthily advanced towards a reindeer, a distance away from her and her peers. Her chestnut-colored curly hair was pulled up in a ponytail, but stubborn strands still fell at the corner of her face. She held an arrow in her hand, propelling it into the right position to hit her target. She was like a predator stalking its prey, which had no idea of the danger lurking around the corner.

With the reindeer in focus, Mia angled the bow properly, and with the arrow balanced in a fixed position with the string, Mia pulled, but without relinquishing her hold on the arrow yet. "Steady, steady," she muttered under her breath. "Release," she said, and with that, she let go of the arrow, which hit her target without missing.

The reindeer hollered in pain as it took off. "Go, go, go!" Mia urged her peers as they started running towards the reindeer, and she pulled out two arrows and fired them at the reindeer, while her peers threw knives and stones at the reindeer. In no time, the prey was lying dead on the ground. Mia smiled triumphantly as her peers surrounded the catch. "Mia, it's a big one!" René exclaimed in delight. "Yes, it is!" The others spoke in acknowledgement. "Come on, let's prepare it," Mia said with a huge grin on her face.

An hour later, the reindeer were roasting over a campfire, and Mia and her friends danced around it. Her laughter was infectious as she swayed to the songs sung at intervals by her friends.

She was carefree and free-spirited, without a single worry in her heart. Her hazel-blue eyes and the delicate features of her face reflected the innocence of her mind. • The sun set in the sky, and the weather that had been misty in the morning was now clear. Mia returned to the pack house with her friends, and as soon as they got there, they immediately dispersed to their various abodes. Mia walked into the pack house to see her mother pacing the living room in worry.

"Mother!" Mia exclaimed happily as she rushed over to her. Karen looked up to see her daughter rushing towards her, and before she could brace herself, Mia crushed her in a tight hug. "Oh, mother, I've missed you," she said, squeezing her tight. "This hug will not salvage the fact that you're in big trouble, Mia," Karen replied, feigning annoyance despite the fact that she was glad to see her daughter back home. Mia pulled away. "What have I done now?" Mia asked, pouting her cherry lips. "Mia, this is not the way the daughter of an alpha behaves." "You stayed out late!" Karen reprimanded her. "It's just dusk, mother." "You worry too much," Mia said, smiling.

"Mia, an alpha's daughter, doesn't behave this way," Karen reiterated, and Mia mimicked her with a funny expression on her face and started to laugh. "I'm serious, Mia," Karen said sternly. "You don't have to worry." I'll do as you say. "See," she said, lifting a pack of meat. "I kept this for you and your father from my catch today." "I'll take it in and shower quickly," Mia said sweetly, giving her mother the million-dollar smile before walking away, and Karen sighed.

The sun was completely ridden off the sky as the moon took its place. Under the light of the moon, Alex was kneeling before his father, the elders, and the pack members. "We have gathered here today to officially make my son, Alex Heartman, the leader of this pack," Heartman said. "From today, he shall lead the pack, and all matters shall be controlled by him as usual."

"The respect you've given him while he was still the acting Alpha shall not cease," Heartman said to the people, and Alex kept a poker face. "Alex Heartman, do you swear to protect this pack and do whatever is best for the interest of the pack?" Heartman asked. "I solemnly swear," Alex replied, his voice a deep, masculine rumble that instilled fear in the hearts of the fearless and yet bequeathed a tenderness unknown to any. His steadfast tenacity was what had dubbed him fit to be the alpha and no one else. "I hereby officially appoint you as the alpha of the Crystal Moon pack," Heartman said proudly, and the pack members howled into the cold air.

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.

My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend. From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down." That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny. But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded. I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said." Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off." My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers. I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal. Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing. As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury. In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho." How could the man I loved, who once saved me, become this cruel and publicly humiliate me? Why was my devotion seen as an annoyance to be brutally extinguished with lies and assault? Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred? I would not be his victim. Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done. I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties. This was not an escape; this was my rebirth. Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises.
