Tasting the Enemy Chapter 1 The Alpha's Daughter

Elaine POV

"Where's everyone running to?" I asked Quin.

Her big green eyes followed the excited faces running out of the school hall.

"I think there's a fight."

"Another one?"

She nodded.

I've been here my entire high school life and we hadn't had this much excitement ever. It was the last two months of high school and suddenly there were food fights, brawls, pranks and more! Someone wanted to leave a mark on the school.

Unfortunately, I was related to that someone.

"Blazer?" I sighed.

She shot me a naughty look. "We'll never know unless we join them."

She grabbed my arm. "Come on!"

I was dragged into the parking lot where two black Bentleys parked in front of my brother and his dumb friend's Porsche and Range Rover.

"Who are they?" I hissed.

Quin shrugged and folded her arms. "They have money though."

The crowd tightened around those squabbling. Even with wolf hearing I couldn't hear what the commotion was about. I could bet my new phone that Blazer had something to do with it.

"Fight, fight, fight!" The crowd chanted.

"Oh no," I whimpered.

Quin shoved bodies, clearing my path to the front.

"What are you waiting for Shaw?" Blazer mocked a tall blond guy dressed in black leather.

Shaw? From the Blood Moon pack? Claw High was Black Claw territory they weren't allowed here. Another man with tanned skin, deep brown eyes and chestnut hair leaned against the other Bentley.

I hadn't seen the Shaw boys in years when relations between our packs were better. Not long before that, an incident happened that claimed dozens of lives.

"I'll wipe your face on the gravel, Ryker."

"You didn't like your welcome back present?"

I shut my eyes and sighed. Blazer went to Blood Moon territory? Dad's going to kill him! If he isn't murdered here.

"Damn, that's Lucas Shaw? He's hot," Quin said.

Last I saw him when he was a scrawny egotistic young Alpha wolf with a poor fashion sense. Now he was a man with broad shoulders, thick thighs and muscular arms. Lucas was the last of four boys.

"I guess he filled out," I swallowed.

Lucas's jaw clenched and Blazer barked a laugh.

"You're a fucking bastard, Blazer." Lucas's fist connected with Blazer's jaw sending him smack into the ground.

The crowd hissed and gasped. The guy leaning against the Bentley shot up only to linger behind Lucas. My brother groaned. His dumb friends didn't flinch.

"Don't tell me you've already had enough," Lucas said.

His leather boot hit Blazer's gut and my brother groaned.

"Get up," I whispered.

Why did Blazer pick fights when he knew he couldn't fight?

A crushing heavy red truck drove into the parking lot. Part of the crowd scattered as the vehicle made a screeching halt next to the Bentleys. What now? My stomach dropped when an older version of Lucas stormed out of the car.

Part of the crowd vanished. I watched as he commanded his way to the centre of the conflict. He had hair longer than Lucas. It was wet as if he'd rushed out of the shower. Unlike his brother, he wasn't drowning in leather. A simple white shirt and black pants were enough.

"Lucas," he barked.

Azaire Shaw. The oldest Shaw brother. He left town years ago and Lucas followed shortly after.

"This isn't the place," Azaire said.

"I've already started, bro. Might as well finish him off."

"How could you let him come here?" Azaire snapped at the other gorgeous man.

"He was going to come anyway the prick deserves it. Blood Moon women are off limits to Ryker punks."

Blazer rolled on his back and laughed, blood stained his teeth.

"They enjoyed it. Especially Francine. I can still hear her now."

I winced. What's wrong with him?

The one with brown hair's calmness melted away replaced by a violent fire. He grabbed Blazer by his collar. "What did you do to my sister you prick?!"

"She didn't complain," Blazer spat.

My brother hit the ground a second time. I glanced at his friends but they cowered away. My brother was getting his ass kicked and he just took it. I broke free from Quin and threw myself in front of Blazer as a size ten boot aimed for his gut.

"What the fuck are you doing?" Lucas yelled.

"Elaine," Blazer hissed.

"He's sorry, okay? That's enough."

Lucas stared at his counterparts. Azaire glared at me and my brother.

"I'd like to hear that from him," the third unnamed one said.

He bore a resemblance to the brothers. He could be a cousin.

"I'm not sorry. Those whores wanted it."

The cousin's nostrils flared. I shut my eyes and used my body to shield Blazer.

"Oliver!" Azaire barked. "Not her!"

"Hey!"

I glanced up and my heart slammed forward. Nikolas, our older brother marched toward us with Dad's official beta behind him.

"This is forbidden territory."

When Nik appeared the crowd scattered apart from Quin. Azaire shoved Lucas back and met Nik face to face.

"Your brother crossed the line when he came to our territory. Lucas was just getting even."

Nik's nostrils flared. "Blazer, take Elaine to the car."

"What?"

Blazer snatched me off the ground and carried me to Nik's SUV.

"You can pick me up but you can't fight back? What is wrong with you?"

"Quiet, Elaine. You could have messed things up for us."

He opened the back door and tossed me inside as if I were a sweater.

"You planned this?"

Blazer climbed into the passenger seat and wiped blood off his mouth.

"You need to learn to mind your own business, little sister."

"I wasn't going to watch you die."

"I didn't plan on it. Nik and I have a plan."

"What's that?"

He rolled his eyes and groaned. Blazer and I were four months apart. We didn't share the same Mom. None of us did. Nik was the only legitimate heir. His Mom was the Luna of the pack. Everyone loved her. While Blazer lived in the Alpha's house since he was born I only came around when I was six and had to live with the omegas until the Luna passed away suddenly when I was thirteen. We had minimal interaction but I knew she hated me. I was proof her husband cheated again.

"Look. There isn't enough room in this town for the two of us. Now that they have a new Alpha they're vulnerable. Nik thinks we can take them."

"You're kidding."

"Nope. You have to talk to Dad the second we're home."

I swallowed. "Why?"

"Just do it, Elaine and not a word about this."

Nik wasn't a wayward son. He didn't do anything without Dad's approval which meant Dad was in on this scheme to get rid of the Blood Moon Pack. That meant they had to start from the top. Getting rid of the sexy Shaw men.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.

I was four months pregnant, weighing over two hundred pounds, and my heart was failing from experimental treatments forced on me as a child. My doctor looked at me with clinical detachment and told me I was in a death sentence: if I kept the baby, I would die, and if I tried to remove it, I would die. Desperate for a lifeline, I called my father, Francis Acosta, to tell him I was sick and pregnant. I expected a father's love, but all I got was a cold, sharp blade of a voice. "Then do it quietly," he said. "Don't embarrass Candi. Her debutante ball is coming up." He didn't just reject me; he erased me. My trust fund was frozen, and I was told I was no longer an Acosta. My fiancé, Auston, had already discarded me, calling me a "bloated whale" while he looked for a thinner, wealthier replacement. I left New York on a Greyhound bus, weeping into a bag of chips, a broken woman the world considered a mistake. I couldn't understand how my own father could tell me to die "quietly" just to save face for a party. I didn't know why I had been a lab rat for my family’s pharmaceutical ambitions, or how they could sleep at night while I was left to rot in the gray drizzle of the city. Five years later, the doors of JFK International Airport slid open. I stepped onto the marble floor in red-soled stilettos, my body lean, lethal, and carved from years of blood and sweat. I wasn't the "whale" anymore; I was a ghost coming back to haunt them. With my daughter by my side and a medical reputation that terrified the global elite, I was ready to dismantle the Acosta empire piece by piece. "Tell Francis to wash his neck," I whispered to the skyline. "I'm home."

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.
