Flashback
It was the night of my wedding to Maxim. Robert had abducted me from my bedroom and thrown me onto the bed in an uninhabited villa.
"I won't let you marry him!" I was terrified. Robert loomed over me, pinning me down with his powerful arms. No matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't break free.
"You belong only to me, and you always will, Yura... You were destined for me, not Maxim." He nuzzled my neck, inhaling my scent with raw desire. I thrashed about, but his roaming hands quickly rendered me helpless. I was nearly swept away by the intensity of his passion, but I snapped back to reality tonight was my wedding night with Maxim. I screamed and fought with all my might, yet he exuded an aura that subdued my wolf side, as if he truly were the mate destined for me.
The Alpha of the Black Wolf pack moved to strip off my clothes, eager to feast his eyes and hands upon my beautiful body and breasts.
"Argh..." I groaned, a mix of frustration and pleasure. The Black Wolf pack was renowned for their virility; they possessed imposing physiques—larger than the White Wolves and blood that ran far hotter than that of other werewolf breeds. This man, obsessed with me, craved my body intensely.
"I’ve always smelled the scent of a mate on you. You are the Luna destined for me..." he whispered, pinning both my wrists down—a bit roughly.
"I don't want to hurt you. Don't fight me."
"You! You bastard! Why are you forcing yourself on me? You know tonight is my wedding night I'm getting married tomorrow! Why do you want to ruin me?"
He turned me over, lifting me up and tossing me back onto the bed. Lying face-down, I was like a toy he could handle however he pleased. He swept my hair aside to get a clear view of my neck and back. His fingers traced a path from my buttocks to my waist—areas clad only in sheer white lingerie and his touch made me hiss softly.
I was held captive Robert pinned my wrists, rendering me unable to move. I could feel him moving over my body, planting kisses from the nape of my neck down to my throat from behind. Each kiss left a sultry sound against my skin, making my eyes flutter shut and sending shivers racing down my spine. I was swept away, utterly captivated.
Ah... He turned me over so he could see my face clearly. This time, he didn't pin my hands down; for some reason, I no longer struggled. "Tonight, you are mine. Tomorrow, there will be no wedding with Maxim. There will only be a wedding between us." He whispered the words into my ear, then crushed his lips against mine with a ravenous hunger as if I were the meal he craved. But the image of Maxim waiting for me at the altar flashed in my mind along with the memory that Maxim was the destiny the Moon Goddess had chosen for me.
I pushed him away. "No!" "I can't make love to you." Robert pressed himself against me again, devouring my breasts with savage hunger. He brought us both down onto the bed that bed of gold. The moment his manhood penetrated me, I gasped. I felt filled, yet the sensation was exquisite. He had been stoking the desire within me all along; his thrusts left me craving more, desperate for him to keep filling me. Yet, I realized the truth: this was wrong.
I wept. Seeing my tears, he softened; he slowed the rhythm of his hips while gently wiping the tears from my face. It felt even more pleasurable then.
"Please, let me go..."
"Hush, darling... I don't want to hurt you."
Crash...
The sounds of a commotion drifted from behind the wall.
Robert could sense Alpha Maxim's presence. His wolf side emerged. He left me on the bed and bolted outside, shifting into his wolf form. I stepped out, wrapping my body in the bedsheet.
I watched the battle between two equally powerful Alphas; my breathing grew ragged.
"How dare you kidnap my future wife on our wedding night?" Maxim roared, baring his fangs in a snarl.
Robert struck first, but a barrage of attacks from multiple directions left him sprawled on the ground. My eyes widened, though I felt he deserved it.
"Die, you bastard!" Maxim and his pack dragged Robert to the execution post, watched by members of other packs.
"Maxim... you must punish him severely. He defiled me." Maxim’s rage boiled over at my words. Lash after lash rained down on Robert Blackwood’s muscular body. He was sapped of his strength, for the Moon Goddess was punishing him as well. "She is my mate! Maxim is trying to steal her from me.
" His words made me pause for a moment, but Maxim pulled me into an embrace. "Do you believe that insolent man? I am the one who will be your mate, Yura. Not him." I nodded and hugged Maxim.
"Maxim... please forgive me for failing to protect myself." I turned back to the man and stepped closer.
"I will ensure you suffer forever! You will face a terrible punishment! Curse you!" I declared loudly.
Robert lifted his battered, bloodied face.
"You are my mate! You are my destiny!"
"Ptui!" I turned away, embracing Maxim again, and let the pack elders petition the Moon Goddess for the sentence. Maxim took me home after Robert was executed and his body cast into the forbidden forest.
"Max... please forgive me," I said once I reached my room.
"It's alright. At least I can see that you're safe and sound."
"You must be devastated knowing that man touched me. Please forgive me..." Instinctively, I embraced Maxim. A fair skinned Alpha with a muscular build and blonde hair he was the perfect Alpha, the one who was meant to be mine.
He gently brushed me off, as if repulsed by me. My expression shifted. "What happened? Why? Are you disgusted by me?"
"Hhh... no, darling. It's just... you need to rest. That incident... it might have shattered you mentally." I nodded in agreement.
"Yes, darling... you're right." Suddenly, the image of Robert’s powerful body on top of me sent a rush of heat surging through my veins. I couldn't quite name the feeling, but I felt a strange emptiness a longing to satisfy the desire that had already been stirred up. Yet, Maxim didn't seem to be in the mood for intimacy tonight. And I understood that.
