Lunas Reckoning

The story starts with Melissa trying to have fun at the moon alignment party before she's kicked out by gossip for being mateless. She ends up in a corner about to down multiple drinks just before she starts to have the sensation that her mate was close by. She's excited and she begins to trace the connection. She felt what her mate was feeling and she was aroused. Her excitement and her tracking led her to the palace, she knew that her mate was near as she got to the kitchen but her face fell when she heard moans coming from inside. Her mood changed when she found that her mate was none other than the prince of the blood moon pack, Lucius Russel. Melissa expected that since Lucius had seen her standing in the doorway that he would have some manner of shame and stop what he was doing since it was hurting her but he continued and made sure Melissa saw. The moment Melissa tried to leave, Lucius ordered her back and began to ask her if she was the one that was supposed to be his mate, before she could reply, Aria the woman who he was with began to laugh. Aria told Lucius who she was and what she was, Lucius immediately joined in the laughter and together they humiliated her. Lucius rejected and humiliated her and made a mockery of her parents, unable to take it anymore Melissa lashed out and slapped Lucius across the face, it doesn't take her a second to bolt out of there as Lucius immediately started to call guards to chase after her. She runs out of the palace and into the woods, she didn't know she had gone far until she stops for breath and realizes that she had crossed into unknown territory. She decides to get situated but she picks up an unfamiliar scent and it wasn't long before she saw not one but three different men all reeking of alcohol and all coming towards her. Melissa tried to act calm and tried to turn back but the men were faster and began to try to coax her into going further into the woods with them, one of them unable to control himself would try to touch her and out of fright, she would hit his hand away and that would ignite a series of events. They would try to overpower her, and she fought them off but eventually, they pinned her down while they teased her and ripped her blouse, she made out a figure in the bushes and cried for help, the figure stepped forward and ordered the men to stop but they shouted at the man and when the man commanded that they let her go, the men got enraged and went after him but he killed them all. The effects of the alcohol she had made her eyesight blurry. She knew she was attracted to the man and she noticed how strange the man was but she knew the man wanted to take care of her and make sure she was alright until she was overcome by the mate bond and made seductive suggestions to him and as the moon rose higher, the bond got stronger and they had sex and he mated and marked her. When Melissa awoke the next morning, the stranger was gone and she found herself on the boundaries of her pack. Melissa was embarrassed as she was naked and evidence of her wild night was placed all over her body parts, Melissa was in the middle of dressing up when Aria would catch her. Aria ridiculed her and quickly called anyone who was nearby, before she knew it a crowd formed and Lucius was informed. When Lucius got there, everyone kept on calling her a mateless slut, Melissa tried to talk to them but the crowd didn't listen. Lucius got to see her in the light and appreciated her beauty but hated that anybody got the chance to touch her before he did. He humiliated her and dispersed the crowd, the moment they were alone Lucius decreed that he was going to demote her and make her his sex slave. Melissa refused but Lucius threatened to tell the king about her sexcapades if she didn't agree, Melissa agreed and he dragged her back to the palace. Immediately he got her doing some chores for the first three days and on the fourth day, Melissa started to feel sick and while her chief was giving orders, she ran outside to throw up. Aria was there and started to accuse her of being pregnant. Melissa tried to confront them and make them stop but they began hitting her with Aria throwing the first punch. Eventually, Melissa was dragged to the throne room for expulsion from the pack since it was a crime to have a child while a wolf was mateless. The guards refused them entry but Aria passed through the security with the mob, interrupting the meeting the king was having. Lucius was enraged when he saw that it was Melissa's issue and Aria bypassed Lucius and bluntly tells the alpha that Melissa was a slut and that demoting her was not enough that she should be expelled. Before the Alpha could speak, the stranger thundered for them to let her go. Aria was shocked by this and would still insult her some more, the stranger would nearly have Aria's neck removed as he got enraged. Everyone saw that he was protecting Melissa and somehow they didn't want to think of it the way it was, the Alpha ordered everyone to get out excluding his son. Lucius quickly lay claim that Melissa was his mate but the stranger nearly had his head and told them simply that he had already marked her and that she was his. Melissa got a good look at the man and was shocked to learn that his name was Avalor, the lycan king. She wanted to immediately reject him but the babies in her womb wouldn't allow her, so she kept quiet. The alpha decided that Melissa must go with her mate and that she was not to pick up any of her belongings. Lucius was enraged and would try to object but his father would say otherwise. Avalor would ask that Melissa come with him but Melissa would beg that she be allowed to take the picture of her parents at least and the king agreed. The moment Melissa went to her Chambers, she took her hands and slashed it, making sure a lot of blood was placed in the pillows and smashed a bottle nearby and smeared more blood on it, and jumped out of the window, running straight for the human realm before she would pass out. Avalor started to get worried and sent one of his men to bring her but when the guard came back bearing news that there was so much blood in her room, Avalor ran in the direction of her room to see for himself. He immediately assumed that Lucius and his mob had something to do with it and declared war on them. Meanwhile, Melissa had managed to reach the boundary of the human realm but passed out due to blood loss, and the next time she opened her eyes, she was in the house of a billionaire.
