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 heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.
