The delicate balance was shattered when human scientists, seeking to exploit werewolf's powers, unleashed a pandemic into their world, born from their twisted experiments and the moon goddess' curse. The moon goddess, Arachne, unleashed her wrath upon humanity, but unforeseen consequences arose: humans discovered werewolf blood held the key to their survival and sourced them out, sacrificing them for human's lives.

BENEATH THE FULL MOON LEGACY Chapter 1 The Power Transfer

Selenae

My gaze locked into Ryker's as he stood tall and proud before the witch that was to perform the ritual of transferring my inherited Alpha powers to him.

I felt dignified at the big decision I had taken and knew I wouldn't regret it for one second. I was only securing my pack's future. And I was sure my dead father, Ewan, and the preceding leader of the pack, would be proud of this. Of me. After all, I was taking a bold step putting the leadership of the pack in great hands.

Ewan's sudden death had left the prospect of the pack in my incapable hands. I hadn't been trained to lead and wouldn't know what to do with the immense powers that had been bestowed upon me.

And while Ewan hadn't been in support of my relationship with Ryker, he hadn't known Ryker like I did. His assumptions of him were based on past events and unfair judgement. This was a chance for Ryker to prove my father wrong.

And he would. I was sure he would.

"Selenae, you're doing the right thing," Ryker whispered, his blue eyes on just me, but I could hear him just fine as though he was speaking right into my ear. My heart swelled with pride. It was almost like we were the only ones present in the room full of a dozen other Werewolves.

And the witch. The Moon Goddess' chosen vessel. She waved her hand over for me and I joined them on the altar, my chest fluttering with emotion. The witch began weaving intricate patterns in the air. She gestured to me, urging me to proceed with my profession which I gladly did.

"Ryker, my love, my mate," I started. "I entrust you with the greatest gift I possess- my Alpha powers. May they strengthen your resolve and guide your heart. As the moon witnesses our bond, take my powers and my love and together, we will forge a brighter future for our pack," I declared.

"The Pack's fate rests in your hands, Ryker," I continued, my voice barely above a whisper, but this time, it was meant for just his ears.

Ryker's smile was reassuring but a flicker of something I couldn't place danced in his eyes. "I'll protect them, Selenae. I promise."

I tried to place the foreign expression but couldn't put a finger on it. However, I trusted him and that was all that mattered.

"By the moon's sacred light, the transfer begins!" The witch announced. "Kneel, child," she said to me. I obliged.

The witch's chant grew louder, the air thickening with ancient magic. I felt a mix of relief and trepidation as the transfer commenced. The weight of responsibility still lingered even if I was passing it unto him.

The witch intertwined my hands with Ryker's, and nicked us both on the wrist, initiating a blood oath. I felt my recently gained powers leave me and begin to flow into Ryker, strengthening our bond. My body felt light, the weight of duty and responsibility of the endowment slowly freeing me.

I shut my eyes, my thoughts drifting to my father. "He would have wanted this," I whispered with conviction before I fell into a trance.

The witch's incantations increased in the background and there was a significant shift of energy in the air.

Ryker's sudden tightened grip on my hand a few moments later brought me back into consciousness. It was almost as if time hadn't passed at all. My lashes fluttered open. His own eyes flashed with a darker intent. I could see just how different he looked compared to a few minutes before. My powers, which were now his, gave him an aura of invincibility.

The ritual was over.

"You're so trusting, Selenae," he whispered, malice creeping into his voice. His hands released mine cruelly.

I tried to reach for it again, certain the confusion I felt was evident in my features, but he slapped it away as if it was venom. My instincts began screaming in alarm but it was too late.

"Ryker?" I called in a small voice praying this was a huge misunderstanding. A prank. It would be a grave one but it would be better than this being my reality. "Help me up."

His cold blooded laugh rang through my ears. It would continuously play on repeat in my head for nights to come. I sank further on the ground, my knees suddenly too weak to hold my weight.

"What's going on?" The witch asked, coming out of a trance herself. "Ryker!"

Ryker ignored her as if she bore no significance now that he had used her for his sick desires. "I reject you as my Luna and as a member of my pack," he proclaimed to me without remorse. "I reject you as my mate. Henceforth, you shall have no place within the territories of the Tenebrous, and you shall be slain for betrayal if you dare counter or defy this order."

"No, Ryker, what are you doing?!" I cried out, tears pooling in my eyes and blurring my vision. His betrayal stung like a viper's kiss.

The witch's eyes widened in horror along with the elders of the clan that were present. "You have been deceived, Selenae! He has corrupted the ritual!"

Mumbles of astonishment rose in the room although nobody dared to speak out loud. They all recognized the kind of power the new Alpha possessed. And they knew what he could do to them with just a snap of the finger.

I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces. I was helpless. I knew then that my father had been right about him. He had never changed, and only deceived me. My tongue felt like lead in my mouth, my saliva bitter. What on Earth have I done?

"I shall revoke the transfusion!" The witch yelled. But it was a mistake on her part.

Ryker was in front of her in one second, his claws extended, and with his newfound strength, plunged his claws into her chest. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head, her face going white. He ripped out her heart in the space of one second.

My heart did a double flip. My mouth was opened in a gasp.

He held the Pack witch's heart out, his hand dripping dark blood on the marble tiles while the aged and dark haired witch fell back with a thump, an empty hole in the place her heart should have been.

I watched the scene unfold in front of me in horror while Ryker grinned evilly at me. He had just exerted dominance.

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.

She hides behind ugly suits and fake names. He's done trusting women. When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith-the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room-Manhattan's most exclusive masked club-she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.
