The Orphaned Alpha
Odett has always known she was different.
Born of both vampire and wolf blood and raised by the Alpha King and Queen, she has spent years preparing for the day she will lead a pack of her own. Now, with the end of the supernatural academy finally in sight, her future should be closer than ever.
Instead, something is hunting the supernatural world.
Entire communities are being slaughtered. Children are disappearing. One survivor is left behind after every attack, and the clues seem almost too perfect. As fear spreads and old prejudices threaten the fragile peace between species, Odett begins having nightmares of places she has never seen—only for pieces of those dreams to start appearing in the real world.
Then there is Sam.
He disappeared from her life years ago without explaining why. Now the growing danger is pulling their paths together again, and Odett is no longer the little girl he left behind.
With her vampire blood growing stronger, her wolf becoming restless, and a mate bond she never expected beginning to reveal itself, Odett is being drawn into a mystery far bigger than anyone realizes.
The Orphaned Alpha is a werewolf and vampire fantasy romance filled with fated mates, supernatural mystery, royal werewolves, powerful hybrids, magic, pack bonds, found family, supernatural academy life, and a strong female lead discovering what it truly means to become an Alpha.
Something is coming.
And somehow, it all leads back to Odett.

Chapter: Chapter 74-Almost Peaceful “That appeared almost peaceful,” Joshy remarked once Sam was out of hearing range. “Do not make it strange,” I warned. “I did not create the strange part,” he replied, holding up both hands. Joshy’s teasing let me be embarrassed instead of frightened for a moment. He had known Sam as family too, and he did not act as if my confusion required everyone to walk carefully around me. “I asked him for help tonight,” I admitted. “Do you want me there?” he asked immediately. The question held no accusation. Joshy was offering presence without assuming I needed protection from Sam. I considered it before answering. “For the studying, yes,” I answered. “For every conversation we ever have, no,” I added with a pointed look. “That sounds inconveniently reasonable,” he replied. The afternoon examination drills were harder. My group argued over whether the damaged territory should close its eastern road or risk keeping it open for medical transport. I listened to every posi

Chapter: Chapter 73-HonestyOdett’s POV Two days before the assessment, I found Sam’s message waiting on my phone. “Good luck studying tonight. No need to answer.” I read it twice, then tried to return to emergency leadership while his name stayed at the top of the screen. Lorilie watched through the bond while I underlined the same sentence three times. ‘You could answer him,’ she suggested. ‘I could also study,’ I replied. ‘Both things are possible,’ Lorilie returned with cheerful persistence. I could answer him and still be angry. The bond had made me recognize his scent at once, but it had not told me whether I trusted the man who had spent years away. I underlined the same sentence again. At the Academy, Instructor Halley placed a packet on every fifth-year desk. The practice assessment contained a damaged territory map, incomplete supply reports, and three demands that could not all be met immediately. We were expected to prioritize, explain our reasoning, and accept that a good decision cou

Chapter: Chapter 72-Unwritten WordsI could have written more. Security prevented me from sharing locations or evidence, but it had not prevented ordinary letters. I had sent birthday messages, family updates, and the occasional joke. I had avoided writing anything that might reveal how often I thought of her because I feared creating an intimacy she could not understand fairly. The letters I withheld might have blurred a boundary. Their absence had hurt her anyway. I could not find a past choice that spared everyone, and imagining one would not repair what had happened. Later, Rain found me in the kitchen putting away dishes that did not need my help. She leaned against the counter and waited until I stopped pretending the cabinet required my full attention. “You are trying to make yourself smaller around her,” she said. “I am trying not to crowd her,” I explained. “Those are not always the same thing,” Rain said. I told her about the choices I had replayed: speaking before I left, asking Zion to explain th

Chapter: Chapter 71-What I DidSam’s POV Three days before the second-term assessment, I woke to the sounds of the castle: a guard changing posts, pipes shifting in the walls, a pan dropped in the kitchen. I had slept in temporary rooms for years and expected home to make rest easy. Each time I closed my eyes, I saw Odett’s face when she recognized me. She had looked at me as if she knew me and had never seen me before. I caught the change in her scent when she recognized the bond. Knowing what I was to her hadn’t erased a single year I had spent away. I had wanted to explain myself before she ever learned the word mate; I had left before she was old enough to decide what hearing it would mean. Kyron moved restlessly beneath my thoughts. ‘You are reading the same paragraph again,’ he observed. ‘I am aware of that,’ I answered silently. ‘Then stop pretending the paper is the problem,’ Kyron replied bluntly. Kyron was right. I had taken the assignment partly to keep my knowledge of the bond from shapin

Chapter: Chapter 70-Practice Papers Instructor Halley distributed the practice papers and gave us forty minutes. The first page concerned a border disagreement after a storm destroyed two markers. The second asked how to divide limited medical supplies among three injured groups when transportation had failed. The third question stopped me. A settlement had received conflicting witness accounts after an attack, and its council wanted to announce a responsible species before the evidence could be reviewed. We had to explain the legal and ethical consequences of releasing the accusation. For a moment I saw the bodies and black ground from my dreams instead of the practice paper. Lorilie pressed close. I felt the desk beneath my hand and the pen between my fingers until the classroom returned. ‘Stay here,’ she urged. ‘I am here,’ I assured her silently. I read the question again. The scenario belonged in any course covering public safety and interspecies law, especially when careless accusations could create

Chapter: Chapter 69-Ordinary WeightOdett’s POV Four days before the assessment, the Academy gave us problems none of the study guides covered. Two instructors were sick, a pipe burst under the eastern practice hall, and someone mixed up the fourth- and fifth-year schedules. Three arguments were waiting outside the administration office when Joshy and I arrived. I read the schedules twice. Students crowded the hallway, and my assessment packet felt heavy in my bag. I wanted to walk past them and study; I could already tell I would not. “Please tell me one of those groups belongs to someone else,” I muttered with exhausted hope. “Two belong to someone else, but they appear to have chosen you,” Joshy replied. The first dispute involved a fifth-year defense team that had lost its assigned practice room. The second involved two younger students insisting their morning escort never arrived. The third stood alone near the office door, holding a stack of damp papers against his chest and looking one inconvenience awa

Chapter: How It EndsRain's P.O.V. Opening my eyes, I look around to find someone has laid me down in our bed next to Zion. He's covered in bruises and has bandages wrapped around his chest and down his left arm. I try to reach over, but I realize my body is sore and stiff, and I can barely move. "Oh, thank Goddess, you're awake." Jess gasps, walking through the door. "How are the pups?" I ask the first thing that crosses my mind. "All three are safe and sleeping. Lady Ezmerelda is in the nursery with the twins, and Odett fell asleep watching a movie with Sam in the living room." She answered while walking over to my side of the bed. "Is Douglas dead?" I asked, slowly starting to remember everything that happened. "You leveled everything in the area. Orian found you unconscious, covered in blood, but he didn't think it was yours. He said it smelled like Douglas and his minions. You didn't even have a scratch on you." She said with a smile, helping me to sit up. "How is everyone?" I ask as I

Chapter: Retribution Rain's P.O.V. After recovering from whatever hit me, I turned to see a female who looked so much like Lady Lena that it threw me off. Zion is just as surprised as I am, his face mirroring my surprised expression. Then I realized that the restraints that held Douglas in place were released, letting him recover and stand beside the lookalike as a group of his rogue army stood behind them. "Who the hell are you, and why do you look eerily similar to a dead woman?" Zion asks after he shifts back to his human form and takes his place beside me. "You must be talking about my twin. That foolish bitch refused to leave that weak coven and decided to go against me. She got what was coming to her." She said with a cackel. "I even offered to take her with me after I kidnapped you, but she refused and even tried to fight me. She might have been our parent's favorite, but she was weak, always letting everyone fight her battles for her." "You're

Chapter: Unknown Woman Zion's P.O.V. After Rain's speech, Mia suggested opening gifts, so Jessica and I helped her up and started walking towards the chair designed like her throne where all the gifts were. Midway through the walk, Rain started feeling some pain and leaned over on me. When I asked if she was okay, she said she was. I knew she wasn't telling me the truth, but I decided to ignore it and keep walking. Unfortunately, she doubled over before we could reach the chair, grabbing her side. I quickly picked her up and noticed liquid running down between her legs as Odett called for her in a panic. I yell for Doctor Jameson, knowing he's here somewhere. He tells me to get her to the suite when he reaches us, but I know he wants her in the makeshift delivery room. I rush through the crowd in a panic, thankful that they made a path for us, and up the stairs to our suite where I lay her down on the bed, only now noticing that our friends followed. Do

Chapter: Chaotic Birth Rain's P.O.V. I stood quietly in the peaceful darkness that I'd become accustomed to and waited patiently, thankfully not feeling any pain. I didn't have to wait long as soon the brilliant silver light erupted, and Dosha and Selene emerged as the light dimmed, and I could feel their warmth radiating off of them. But soon, I notice the grim look on her face, and the peacefulness I had felt melts and gives way to caution. "Hello, my dear daughter," Selene says. "I have come to bring you a warning." "A warning about what?" I ask, my stomach in knots as panic sets in. My first thought is that something is wrong with the twins. "The twins will be fine, do not worry, my dear. I will watch over them as I did with Odett. I came with a warning about Douglas." She says, and my heart stops for a moment. "He knows that you are about to give birth and thinks that you will be in a vulnerable state. He is planning to make his move now." "S

Chapter: The Celebration Of Resurrections Rain's P.O.V. When Zion opened the double doors to the Banquet Hall, I was shocked, to say the least. Everyone was talking, speculating what this gathering was all about, and then complete silence followed by gasps as everyone's gaze met Zion and me as the doors opened. I place my hand on my belly as Zion leads us into the crowded room. Everyone now has faces of relief and tears of joy streaming down their faces as they bow while we make our way past them and to a table set up for us. I feel an overwhelming sense of love and confusion pouring off of everyone in the room. As we reached our table, we were joined by the others in our group, including Morgan, Mia, and Nick, as well as King Arnald and Beta Mark. Zion pulls out a chair for me and helps me lower myself into it before he addresses the crowd. He goes into detail about the reasons for my disappearance while also apologizing to everyone for keeping them in the dark about the

Chapter: The Traitor Zion's P.O.V. I woke up this morning and felt something different in the air like something would happen soon, but I wasn't sure what that would be. I asked Ryker about it, but he wasn't sure either. Orian linked me to let me know that everything was ready and that everyone would start showing up in about an hour or so, but that he needed to see me in my office for an important matter. I told him that I would be down soon and quickly linked Jessica and Lady Ezmerelda to ask them to help get Rain ready while I went to handle a few things before the shower and celebrations began. As soon as I told Rain that we needed to get moving and that her sister and mother would be helping her get dressed, she started getting emotional, which I know is from the hormones. Thankfully, I saved myself by explaining that she wasn't fat, just very pregnant. That worked, and just in time, since Jessica and Lady Ezmerelda arrived the next second,
