Chapter 4

Anna's POV

Marina brought me fresh clothes. I changed in a hurry and darted downstairs to eat breakfast. I did not want to make Alex wait any more than I had.

I rushed downstairs and saw the most beautiful hallway ever, decorated with expensive paintings, flowerpots and dark colours.

Alex was dressed up in black suit and black pants. He looked handsome. Long legs, muscled chest and shoulders. His hair slick from gel.

Right in the middle, were a big dining table with around six chairs on each side while the other two on each head of the table.

Alex was on his face but cut the call when he noticed me. He pulled out a chair for me and nodded for me to sit down.

"Sit down and have some breakfast. You are going to need it. Hurry up though, we need to leave soon." He told me as I took the seat that he offered me.

I looked at the food on the table. Fruits, bread, butter, jam, tea and coffee. My mouth watered and almost fell half open watching so much for just breakfast.

I closed my mouth and darted a look at him to see if I noticed my half-shocked face.

He was looking at me with a guarded face with his hands inside his pockets.

I think I saw a hint of amusement in his eyes. He jerked his head towards the food.

"Do you need something else? Is there anything else that you would be eating for Breakfast? You could ask Marina to make it. But I suggest you adjust for today because I'm running late." He told me, checking his wristwatch.I shook my head and gave him a small smile.

"No. It's more than enough. Umm ... Aren't you going to eat with me?" I asked him in a hesitant voice.

He shook his head.

"No. I already did. Please, eat. I have to make a phone call." He said and pulled out his phone.

I nodded my head.

He walked out of the door, leaving me to eat in peace alone. I thought he would stand there and watch me eat. And that would have made me certainly self-conscious.

I ate my breakfast as fast as possible so that I wouldn't prolong his lateness. I was pretty sure that he would not complain even if I did make him late to his work, but I did not want to take advantage of a person who was being so nice and helpful towards me.

When I was done, I stood up.

Right at the moment,Alex entered the house back. He jerked his head.

"You're finished? Are you ready to leave?" He asked me. I gave him a nod which he returned with one of his own.

"Good. Then, let's go." He said and we both left his house.

Both of us walked towards his car.

A man was waiting by the car when he saw us approach, he opened the doors for us. Once we were settled inside, I realized that he was Alex's driver.

He pulled out of the driveway and started driving us on an empty road.

Somebody cleared their throat. I looked at my side and Alex looked outside the window out of my window.

"I never got to know your name." He said to me, It made me realize that I actually never really introduced myself properly.

I just blurted my guts out to him like a crazy person but never really gave him my name.

My face heated up in shame as I realized how he had seen me. Vulnerable, crying, an ugly mess.

"My name is Anna. Anna Ried." I told him.

"Anna ..." He whispered. My name sounded like butter from his mouth.

"So Anna, my secretary will show you around. She will tell you what you have to do and how to do it. If you have any problem then you can contact her. She will help you through it. Don't be nervous just because it is your first day.

Okay?" He told me like he was my senior.

Which he was. Even though I was not really nervous, his words did calm me down. His voice held a sense of security.

"Okay." I replied.

He nodded and pulled out his phone to check, whatever he was checking.

I turned my face and looked outside the window. Falling into a mutual silence. It was light and tension free quiet. None spoke throughout the ride to his office.

The car stopped at a big building. It went on and on and on, high in the air, making every other building small in comparison to this building. I felt like I was standing in front of the Eiffel Tower. The door of my side of the car opened. The driver held it back and let me slide out of it.

"Thank you." I told him. He nodded his head once but without a smile.

Alex came to me and led me inside the building.

Everyone greeted him as he looked at me curiously. He greeted every single of them politely. It was kind of attractive to see a guy being so polite even though he was the owner of the company.

We walked into an elevator but I hesitated when I saw the plate outside said 'VIP ONLY'. Alex backend me and I walked inside.

He pressed the button of the door closing and pressed the button for topmost floor 70.

We waited on the opposite side of the lift to go up. I gathered my courage and asked him the question that was eating me away for a long time.

"Umm ... How am I supposed to address you? Will Sir be alright?" I asked him.

He looked at me and then snapped his eyes to the ceiling. He nodded his head once.

"Okay." I said and turned to face the door of the elevator.

"Sir." I whispered to myself.

I saw him glancing my way when I whispered and looked away. He had his hands on his pockets and was standing straight like analysing some sort of project.

Damm He was so tall, he towered over my Five point five-inch-long self.The door of the elevator opened and I took a step forward but stumbled and almost fell forward. Almost.

However, I did not because two sets of hands stopped, grabbed me around my waist and caught me.

"Watch it." He said before straightening me up. Both of us stepped out of the door.

"Are you okay?" He asked me. I nodded and felt ashamed that I tripped over.

"Okay, let me introduce you to my secretary and she will help you with everything else." He told me.

I just agreed with him because my mind could not register anything except for a single thing that I tripped over.

"Her name is Janet, anyway." He told me.

While at the same time the door opened and entered a very beautiful, blonde haired woman with curvy figure and long, slim legs.One look at her face and I knew one thing very clearly.

We would Not get along.

My phone buzzed with a notification: a livestream of my mate, Alpha Cain, skipping our union to welcome my sister, Eris, home. In the video, he held her like she was fragile glass, captioning it: "True power recognizes true power." When I returned to the Pack House, humiliated, I wasn't met with an apology. I was met with a slap from my mother. Eris, feigning a powerful "Alpha Aura," claimed my mere scent was poisoning her. To "save" her, my family locked me in my room. But the true betrayal came when I overheard their hushed whispers through the door. "Use Vera," my mother said, her voice chillingly practical. "She recovers fast. We can drain her blood weekly for Eris. She can stay as a servant to raise Cain and Eris's pups." My blood ran cold. They didn't just neglect me; they planned to harvest me like livestock. They thought I was the weak Omega they exiled to the North years ago to peel potatoes. They had no idea that in the North, I wasn't a servant. I was Commander V, a warrior forged in ice and blood.

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."

Red Moon Novel Cover
8.1
Blood Moon – Story Description Blood Moon is a dark, thrilling tale of forbidden attraction, supernatural rivalry, and the fine line between predator and prey. Set in the seemingly ordinary Silver Hollow College, the story unfolds in a world where vampires and werewolves secretly coexist alongside humans, each hiding their true powers while battling their own instincts, rival clans, and the pressures of legacy. In this shadowed world, every glance can hide a threat, every conversation can carry hidden meaning, and every full moon can unleash the beast within. At the heart of the story are Catrine Nella, a powerful young vampire, and Edwardo Zee, a disciplined yet conflicted werewolf. Catrine is sharp, cunning, and deadly, raised under the constant pressure of her ambitious step-sister who insists she feed on human blood to grow stronger. Catrine's natural talents in both magic and combat make her a force to be reckoned with, yet she struggles with morality, identity, and her own desire for control. Edwardo, on the other hand, is torn between his instincts as a wolf and the manipulations of his ruthless step-brother, who demands that he become a killer to claim alpha status. Edwardo wants to be a true alpha, not through bloodshed, but by protecting others and leading with honor-an ambition that sets him apart from his family and makes him both a target and a misfit among his kind. The story begins with a violent, electrifying encounter between Catrine and Edwardo in the forest during the full moon. Both are drawn by their own impulses-Catrine performing a vampire ritual, Edwardo struggling to control the wolf within-and the resulting clash is fierce, brutal, and unforgettable. This first meeting ignites a dangerous rivalry, with each recognizing the other's extraordinary abilities while also sensing something forbidden and magnetic between them. Though enemies by instinct and heritage, the connection they forge amidst conflict sets the stage for a tension-filled enemies-to-lovers narrative that drives the series forward. As the story unfolds, Silver Hollow College becomes a battlefield not just of physical strength but of intellect, cunning, and emotional power. Catrine and Edwardo test one another constantly-through subtle glances in class, tense encounters in crowded hallways, and increasingly dangerous confrontations in the forest. Each battle pushes them further, revealing vulnerabilities and strengths, and slowly transforms their relationship from animosity into fascination, grudging respect, and eventually, desire. Amidst this, both characters are confronted with the pressures of their families. Catrine's step-sister threatens her with weakness if she does not feed on human blood, while Edwardo's step-brother pressures him toward ruthless dominance, creating a constant tension that challenges their morality and tests the limits of their powers. At its core, Blood Moon is a story about choice and identity. It explores the struggle between instinct and conscience, power and restraint, hatred and attraction. It examines what it means to be strong-not just physically, but emotionally and morally-in a world where strength often comes at the cost of humanity. Through fast-paced action, supernatural intrigue, and the slow-burning, dangerous pull between Catrine and Edwardo, the story blends romance, suspense, and fantasy into a gripping narrative. It is a saga of blood and moonlight, of predators and secrets, of rivalry and passion, and of two young supernatural beings whose lives are forever intertwined by fate, desire, and the power of the Blood Moon.
