Episode 3

My name is Kiran, I am the Alpha of the Sunshine pack, the third most important pack in the Great Confederation. I assumed this position when I was only 12 years old, in the most unexpected way. My father, Alpha Markus, had died of a heart attack, or so my mother told me.

It was a terrible blow for me, as I adored my father. He was my role model, and in my eyes, he was an exemplary man and the best husband. How wrong I was, and I found out in the worst possible way.

After burying my father, we arrived back at our pack house. My mother, Luna Solange, ordered one of the servants to take my twin siblings to their room and commanded me to go to my own room and not come out. At first, I thought about obeying, but seeing the anger on my mother's face, I decided to hide near the kitchen. From there, I observed as she headed towards a distant part of the house and forcibly dragged Aria, the little orphan girl my father brought to the pack, whom he claimed to have found during one of his travels.

Ever since that girl arrived, I found her very beautiful and I liked her a lot. That's why I always tried to defend her from my mother's mistreatment. I couldn't understand why she held such animosity towards her. What harm could she have done? But that day, I would discover the whole truth that would forever change my life.

After following my mother and witnessing how she locked Aria in a small, dirty room, I decided to confront her. I caught up to her as she reached her own room.

"Mother, why do you hate Aria so much? She hasn't done anything wrong, and I won't allow you to keep mistreating her."

"Kiran! What are you doing here? I ordered you to stay in your room. Go there immediately!"

"No, Mother! I am now the Alpha of this pack, and as such, I won't tolerate you hurting Aria. I like her a lot, and when she's older, I will make her my Luna."

"I can't believe what I just heard. This cannot be happening. I won't allow it." She grabs Kiran by the arm and pulls him into her room.

"Are you crazy? What you're suggesting between you two is impossible. Get that stupid idea out of your head, and over my dead body will that brat ever have anything with you."

"I'm not asking for your permission, Mother. As I said, I am the Alpha of this pack, and I decide about my own life. And if the reason you object is because she's an orphan, I don't care."

"It can't happen between you two because that brat is your father's ILLEGITIMATE CHILD! The great Alpha Markus didn't care about his family and slept with any Omega she-wolf. And not only that, he brought the product of his betrayal to live here."

After this revelation, Kiran was left stunned. He couldn't believe what his mother had just confessed. His father, his role model, was just a facade. And the worst part was about Aria, whom he had been thinking about since her arrival. He couldn't forget those hazel eyes. What a mockery of destiny and the Moon Goddess herself, whom he had fervently prayed to make that girl his mate. Now, she turned out to be his sister.

He left his mother's room, with a lost gaze and a heart shattered into pieces. His mother's words echoed in his head—HIS SISTER... ARIA WAS HIS SISTER. That day, he locked himself in his room and didn't come out for a month. He only opened the door to receive some food and water. Even then, his own mother didn't want to see him.

When he finally emerged from that self-imposed isolation, he was no longer the same person. The warmth in his gaze had disappeared, his heart had turned cold. He became ruthless and cruel, not only towards the people in the pack but especially towards Aria. He told himself that by treating her poorly, he could avoid developing any impure feelings in his heart for her.

Kiran

Despite my efforts to hate Aria, I couldn't. Each passing day made me love her more. Watching her grow into a beautiful woman only intensified my desire for her. But I kept telling myself this couldn't be. She was my sister; what kind of sick person could I be to have such impure feelings?

I thought that when I turned 18, this torment would finally end. Once my wolf appeared, I could find my Mate, and this twisted feeling would come to an end. Another twist of fate and the Moon Goddess, my 18th birthday arrived. I felt my body burning, an internal fire consuming me, and I heard my wolf's voice in my mind.

Drako (Kiran's wolf):

"Kiran, relax. It will hurt at first, but everything will be fine."

I tried to relax, felt my bones breaking in unbearable pain, but suddenly it all stopped. Opening my eyes, I could see my paws and my fur, a reddish brown color. My wolf, Drako, stood at about 2.5 meters tall. I was thrilled to have finally met my wolf, but I couldn't wait to experience running in this new form. It didn't take long before I caught a whiff of mint and pine, my favorite scent. Drako yelled in my mind, MATE! She's our MATE! I followed the scent, which led me to the river. Slowly and quietly, I approached, and there she was, bathing with her clothes still on. The wet fabric clung to her body, making her look even more beautiful. To my shock, it was ARIA!

It couldn't be! What kind of punishment was I enduring? Just when I thought I could finally be free from this impure feeling, destiny and the Moon Goddess were once again laughing in my face. I ran away from there, but Drako insisted I go back to our mate. I told him it wasn't possible and severed the connection.

Years went by like this. Aria transformed into a stunning woman, and I continued to repress this insane feeling that consumed me. Whenever she came near, I had an uncontrollable urge to kiss her, to make her mine. But it was wrong. That's why I treated her poorly, to push her away. I had to avoid her at all costs. But my suffering was about to come to an end. In a few days, she would turn 18, and her wolf would manifest. I could reject her. Until then, all I could do was dream of her, even though it was wrong. But today, more than ever, I couldn't bear it any longer. I woke up thinking about her, as usual. I wondered how her lips would feel, how it would be to touch her skin. Unable to control myself, I began to pleasure myself, and for the first time in years, I said her name out loud, "Oh, Aria."

Just as I was enjoying the release, I felt a sudden impact on the door. Opening my eyes, I saw her standing there. I couldn't take it anymore, and Drako took over, launching himself at her, holding her forcefully. He said, "Do you like what you just saw?"

I saw her face flush with color, and in a trembling voice, she replied, "Alpha Kiran, I didn't mean to disturb you. Your mother asked me to wake you up for breakfast."

Her response angered me. Was I not attractive to this woman? I raised my voice this time and asked, "Did I ask you a question, orphan? Did you like what you saw? Do you know how many women would give anything to see me naked?"

Now it was her turn to raise her voice as she pleaded, "Alpha Kiran, please let me go!"

Let her go? I thought to myself. Didn't she feel anything for me? Not even a hint of desire in her eyes? It was at that moment that I regained complete control, wounded in my ego. I looked at her and said, "You should feel honored that I even bothered to look at you. Who would dare to give you a second thought? You're nothing more than a nameless orphan." As I touched her body, my downfall, I couldn't control myself any longer. I desired her, and I would make her mine.

She screams at me, "let me go! Don't touch me!!" Instead of stopping, her gaze excites me even more. She looks like a wild beast, and that only makes me desire her more. Nothing else matters now; it's just her and me. I start sliding my hands under her dress, caressing her legs. I want to reach her most intimate parts and possess her. Nothing else matters; she will be mine.

But then, I feel a strong, precise blow to my groin, causing me to fall in pain. She pushes me away and runs off. I try to get up, but I can't. Despite her small size, that woman knows how to defend herself.

As the door closes after Aria flees, I regain my senses and realize the abomination I was about to commit. I was going to forcefully take my own sister. I feel utterly despicable.

When I hear the pounding on my bedroom door again, I quickly put on some pants before opening it. It's my mother, but I don't let her speak. I tell her that I don't want to be disturbed and close the door.

After that terrible situation, I haven't left my room in the next two days. But today, I have to because it's my engagement ceremony with Maggie, whom my mother insists on making my Luna.
