I spent my whole life hating the Red Canyon Pack. My father raised me to be the perfect Alpha daughter, ready to continue our century-old feud. Then the moon chose Asher Steele as my mate. The son of my greatest enemy. The man I should kill, not kiss. Our bond threatens everything I believed in. My pack calls me a traitor. His pack wants me dead. But when hunters target both our families, I realize the real enemy has been playing us all along. Now I must choose: honor my father's hatred or fight beside my fated mate to save everyone I love.

Mated To My Biggest Enemy Chapter 1 Silver Moon Rising

Riley's POV

"You are holding back again." Like a blade, Dad's voice sliced through the morning air. "A real Alpha does not be kind to her foes."

After wiping the perspiration from my face, I turned to face the training dummy that I had just destroyed. There were wood chips all over the floor, but I could tell by Dad's frown that it was not enough. It was never sufficient.

I flexed my aching fingers and said, "I was not holding back." "I hit it as hard as I could."

"Then you are not strong enough." With eyes as cold as winter ice, Dad took a step closer. "You are a woman, so the Red Canyon wolves will not be kind to you."

The thought of our adversaries roused my inner wolf. She desired blood and to demonstrate our ability to destroy any Steele who ventured to approach us. I allowed that rage to drive me to strike again.

The dummy burst into splinters this time. One nod from Dad was as near to commendation as I ever received from him. I did not care that my knuckles were bleeding.

"Better," he said. But keep in mind, Riley. You will only have one job once you are Alpha.

I concluded the lesson I had heard a thousand times: "Protect the pack."

"No." His tone became gravely serious. "Destroy our adversaries before they destroy us."

From the valley below us came a howl. It floated up from Red Canyon territory like a challenge, long and melancholy. My own howl tore from my throat as my wolf responded before I could stop her.

That morning, Dad smiled for the first time. "All right. Inform them of our presence.

The first howl came from the valley, followed by others. The Red Canyon Pack was getting up and beginning their own morning rituals. I pondered whether their Alpha of the future was also training, learning to despise us as much as we detested them.

Even though I knew the story by heart, I said, "Tell me again why we fight them."

Dad's expression hardened. "Because they are dishonest and thieves. Your great-great-grandfather was killed when he attempted to stop them from stealing our hunting grounds a century ago.

"And ever since, we have been at war."

"And until the last Steele is dead, we will be." Dad grabbed a fresh training dummy and placed it. "Again."

I threw everything I had at the dummy. Every blow was dedicated to all the Blackwoods who had perished. Every kick served as retribution for all the slights our family had endured. We had lost so much to the Red Canyon Pack.

The dummy was just sawdust when I was done. In fact, Dad looked proud, which filled my heart with joy. The few times I made him proud were the ones I lived for.

He stated, "Your Alpha trials are in two weeks." "Your strength, wisdom, and loyalty will be put to the test by the pack elders."

"I promise not to let you down."

"You would better not. The pack is depending on you to guide them to triumph. Dad's gaze drifted off into the valley. "Recently, the Steeles have been too silent. They have a plan.

The threat roused my wolf. "What kind of something?"

"I am not sure yet. However, you must be prepared when they move. Dad looked back at me. "A dead pack is a weak Alpha."

Our mountain training ground was covered in long shadows as the morning sun rose higher. Below us, I could make out our territory, which was made up of granite cliffs and silver pines that had been Blackwood land for many generations. It was wild and lovely, and it was mine to keep safe.

Another howl, distinct from the others, floated up from Red Canyon. Perhaps younger or more depressed. I felt a strange tightness in my chest.

Dad's head jerked in the direction of the noise. He scented the air, his nostrils flaring. "That is new."

"What do you mean?"

"That howl is unfamiliar to me. There may be a new wolf in the Steeles' pack. Dad's face became menacing. "We must ascertain who."

My wolf reacted without my consent when the odd howl resurfaced. She wanted to howl back and resisted my control. I bit my lip to remain silent, but Dad was already giving me a weird look.

"Riley?" There was a warning in his voice. "Why is that sound causing your wolf to react?"

I had no idea. Red Canyon howls had never before elicited a reaction from my wolf other than rage and hatred. This, however, felt different. It was like... recognition.

Sincerely, I said, "I do not know." "Perhaps she is just ready to fight."

Dad looked at my face for a long time. As he had taught me, I maintained a blank expression. Do not ever be weak. Never be doubtful.

At last, he stated, "Next week is the Harvest Moon Festival." "Every pack will congregate at the stone circle."

My heart leaped. Unmated wolves could find their destined partners at the festival, which served as a neutral ground. I had been anticipating it and dreading it at the same time.

"Will the Red Canyon Pack be present?" I inquired.

"Sadly, the answer is yes. All packs must attend according to the old laws. In disgust, Dad's lip curled. "Riley, you avoid them. Avoid even glancing in their direction.

"Obviously not."

However, I could not help but wonder about that odd howl as I was saying it. I wondered why my wolf had wanted to respond and who had made that sound. I was more frightened by the thought than by any enemy.

After gathering his training equipment, Dad made his way to the pack house. "Practice until the sun sets. And keep in mind my advice to be merciful.

I vowed, "I will not show mercy to our enemies."

"Good girl."

I turned back toward the valley after watching him leave. It was a lonely, low howl, and it came again. When she wanted to answer, I did not fight my wolf this time.

My scream carried farther than it should have over the mountains. The valley became utterly quiet as the sound subsided. The birds even ceased their singing.

That quiet was like the prelude to a lightning strike. As if a monumental shift was about to occur. I simply had no idea what it was.

A scent I had never smelled before was carried by the shifting wind. It caused my inner wolf to pace uneasily because it was warm and wild. Red Canyon territory was the source of the scent.

From the direction of that strange, sad howl.

My hands started shaking, and I didn't know why.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."
