Chapter: Chapter 020
The dawn broke slowly, bathing the world in soft hues of gold and lavender, as if the universe itself was acknowledging the monumental shift that had taken place. I stood at the edge of the clearing, the remnants of the battle still fresh in my mind, but as the sun rose, so too did a sense of hope within me. The night had been long and filled with uncertainty, but the light now filtering through the trees felt like a promise—a new beginning for my pack, for me. As I took a deep breath, inhaling the crisp morning air, I could feel the weight of the past begin to lift. Fenriz’s reign of terror had ended, and with it, a darkness that had loomed over us for far too long. I turned my gaze toward the horizon, where the sun peeked above the trees, and for the first time in ages, I felt a flicker of excitement. “Selene!” Roy’s voice broke through my reverie, pulling me back to reality. He approached with a warmth that mirrored the sun’s embrace, his face lit with determination. “We need to

The battle had ended, but the echoes of chaos still reverberated through the air. The ground was littered with the remnants of our struggle—broken swords, fallen warriors, and the unmistakable scent of blood. As the last vestiges of the blood moon began to fade, I stood among the wreckage, my heart heavy with the weight of our victory.I looked around at the faces of my pack members, their expressions a mix of exhaustion and triumph. We had fought hard, and the victory was sweet, but it came at a cost. Lives had been lost, and the scars of this battle would run deep. “Selene!” Roy’s voice broke through my reverie, pulling me from my thoughts. He was approaching, his face smeared with dirt and sweat, but the light in his eyes sparkled with pride. “We did it!”I forced a smile, though the weight in my chest made it feel heavy. “Yes, we did. But at what cost?” I gestured to the battlefield, where our fallen lay. “We lost so much.”He stepped closer, taking my hands in his. “We won. Fenr

The air crackled with tension, thick with the scent of blood and sweat. I stood beside Roy, our backs pressed together as we faced the chaos erupting around us. The moon hung low in the sky, casting an eerie glow that painted everything in shades of crimson. It was a blood moon, and its presence felt like an omen of the violence that surrounded us.I had always heard stories about the power of the blood moon, how it brought forth strength and ferocity in wolves. I could feel that energy pulsing through me, igniting my spirit as I prepared to face Fenriz. There was no fear; only a fierce determination to protect my pack and avenge those who had fallen.“Selene!” Roy’s voice cut through the din, grounding me in the chaos. “Stay close!”“I’m not going anywhere,” I replied, my heart racing with adrenaline. With each strike of my sword, I felt the weight of my purpose. Fenriz would not take any more from us. He had already caused enough pain.The sound of clashing steel rang in my ears as

I could still hear the echoes of the battle resonating in my ears—the shouts, the clash of swords, and the cries of my pack. The smoke from the explosion still hung in the air, choking us and masking the reality of the chaos around us. My heart raced as I frantically searched for Selene, my thoughts spiraling with fear.“Roy!” a voice called out, cutting through the confusion. I turned to see Declan staggering toward me, his face smeared with dirt and sweat, his expression frantic. “We need to regroup! Fenriz won’t give up; he’ll chase us!”“Where’s Selene?” I demanded, my chest tightening at the thought of her caught in the fray. I couldn’t lose her—not like this. “I don’t know! We got separated!” he shouted, panic edging his tone. “But we can’t linger. We have to get everyone to safety!”“Right. Let’s move!” I said, pushing past him as I tried to block out the dread building in my chest. We gathered the remaining pack members, forming a tight unit as we retreated into the woods.As

The sun rose slowly over the horizon, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink. A new day, a new battle ahead. As I stood on the balcony of the Salvatore estate, the crisp morning air filled my lungs, but the taste of dread lingered in my throat. Today, everything would change.I had never felt the weight of leadership like this before. The responsibility of my pack rested heavily on my shoulders, and yet, I had chosen to lead them into a trap. My heart ached at the thought, but I pushed it aside. Selene's life depended on this. She was worth every sacrifice, even if it meant betraying my own.The faint sounds of movement stirred within the estate as the pack began to wake. I turned back to the room, where Selene still slept, her chest rising and falling gently beneath the covers. She looked peaceful, a stark contrast to the storm raging inside me. I wanted to wake her, to hold her, but I couldn’t bear the thought of her questioning me about today’s plan. Not yet.I slipped out o

I sat at the head of the council table, watching the flicker of uncertainty in every pair of eyes surrounding me. They didn’t trust me. After everything I’d done, every fight I’d led, the bond that once tethered us as a unified pack felt tenuous, like a thread on the verge of snapping. It was the hardest thing to accept—that despite my intentions, the seeds of doubt had been planted. And now, they were growing like weeds in the hearts of my pack.As I shifted my gaze to Declan, he wouldn’t meet my eyes. I had known Declan my entire life; he was not only my Beta but my closest friend, my brother in all but blood. And yet, in that moment, the distance between us felt insurmountable. He knew something was wrong—hell, *everyone* could feel it. I couldn’t tell them the truth. Not yet. Not while everything hung in the balance. I cleared my throat, preparing to address them. “We move at dawn,” I began, the weight of the lie pressing down on me like a heavy cloak. “Fenriz will expect an atta

Fated to my sister's husband.

Fated to my sister's husband.

We need to stop this darkness before it consumes us all." "You don't get it. It's not just about the investigation. It's about us. You broke my heart, Kael" He stepped closer, "And I regret it every day. But fate has brought us back together for a reason. We have to trust in that, no matter how hard it is." "Maybe fate is wrong," "Or maybe, fate is giving us a second chance." Their lips met in a kiss that was both desperate and tender. ****** Living in the shadow of her brilliant sister was something Lily had grown accustomed to, even if it left her feeling like the family outcast.

The first thing I noticed was the cold. It wrapped around me, heavy and unforgiving. The air smelled damp, thick with dust and something metallic. My body ached, my head pounding like a hammer was inside it. When I tried to move, my arms wouldn’t even budge. Panic crawled up my throat. I forced my eyes open. Darkness. A single dim light flickered above, its glow barely reaching the corners of the room. The walls were made of concrete, cracked and stained with things I didn’t want to think about. My breath came out in short, shallow gasps, fogging up the cold air. I tried to move again, but something tugged at my wrists. Tied. My arms were pulled behind me, thick ropes digging into my skin. My ankles were bound too, tight enough that I could feel the circulation slowing. I swallowed hard. My mouth was dry, my throat sore. The last thing I remembered was answering Sebastian’s call.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was electric, a stark contrast to the tense exchange I had just had with Roy and Shayla. As Jax led me through the opulent space, I couldn’t help but marvel at the elegant décor—crystal chandeliers hung from the high ceilings, casting a warm glow over the gathered guests. The scent of gourmet food wafted through the air, mingling with the soft hum of laughter and conversation. It was like stepping into a different world. “Do you see that table?” Jax pointed to a long table adorned with an impressive spread of delicacies and surrounded by the elite members of the pack. “That’s where the Alphas and their betas are seated. I want you to meet them.” My heart raced. Would they see me as an outsider? Just moments ago, I had been nothing more than a target for ridicule. Now, I was stepping into a world filled with power and prestige, all thanks to Jax. I swallowed hard, my stomach fluttering with nerves. “I’m not sure I’m ready for this,” I confessed,

Sera "So you heard about the eclipse," Madison said as I approached her. I nodded, hugging the backpack containing my parents book to my chest. Since I'd picked it up at the alley, I'd been wary of losing it again. The mystery of how it had burned iny house but still somehow been delivered back to me still haunted me. Too many mysteries haunted me at this point. I couldn't think about them now though.

"Wake up," a voice whispered urgently in my head. I came to with a gasp, jerking upright and gasping for air. I stared around, trying to determine where I was. It was barely dawn, the skies still a little bit dark, and the moon starting to sink below the horizon. I tried to climb to my feet, but ended up stumbling to the ground, feeling too weak and drained. What the hell was going on? My memories were foggy at best, but I could remember going to the zoo, and then_ Oh goddess. I jumped to my feet, sudden energized. I needed to figure out where I was and how I'd gotten here. I had a feeling I knew how I had gotten here though, the main question was how much damage had I done. "The beast went this way!" I heard someone cry, "I can see it's footprints." I held my breath as I heard the sound of boots crunching against dried leaves and twigs. And then I saw flash lights waving around. People were coming this way and apparently, they were in search of a beast. There was no nee

Rejected by my mate, spoilt by his uncles.

Rejected by my mate, spoilt by his uncles.

"You want me to be your fake bride?" I repeated, disbelief lacing my voice. Rhys, the eldest triplet, nodded solemnly. "It's the only way to show Lucian that you are not to be underestimated, Morrigan. And the only way you can be able to avenge your best friend." "And what do you get out of this?" I asked suspiciously. Declan stepped forward with a wry smile. "Revenge too, on the Alpha who murdered our father just to become king. And perhaps, in time, a chance to win your heart for real." ****** Morrigan, princess of the demon realm, yearned for freedom from the weight of her royal responsibilities. This yearning leads her to escape to a werewolf pack where she disguises as a wolfless Omega, hoping to find solace away from the demands of her heritage. Instead, she faced cruelty and humiliation. This humiliation was however heightened by Lucian, the Alpha's son—her mate by fate, who publicly rejects her and confesses that he has only seen her as a pawn in a cruel bet. And he makes it worse by demanding she becomes his breeder after he rises to the throne as the Alpha, and murdering her best friend when she resists. Heartbroken and betrayed, she resolved to return to her realm, intent on seeking vengeance for the pain he had caused, especially after the death of her best friend. Before she could depart, Morrigan was approached by three men -Rhys, Declan, and Asher—with an audacious proposition: become their fake bride for a year, and they would help her exact revenge on Lucian. Intrigued by the promise of justice, she agrees, plunging into a contract-to-love relationship that would challenge her resolve and stir unexpected desires.

Morrigan smiled, and I tilted my head, staring at her with curiosity.Meeting her now, she's nothing like what I've heard Lucian and his friends talk about.There's a huge confidence in her, and a scary coldness in her beautiful purple eyes.“You've got to be joking!” She said, shaking her head.“I promise, we are not.”“Lucian, is your nephew. Let's start from there. So I believe that you heard about him mistreating a stranger and decided to help the stranger get revenge on your nephew?”“See the thing is –” she raised a finger, shutting me up.“I'm not done. Secondly, we just met. And what? You want me to marry you so you can help me get revenge on your nephew which doesn't make sense. I've got two questions,” she folded her arms, “one: why on earth would you propose to a stranger? Two: why would you help a stranger get revenge on your family? What's in it for you?”I exchanged glances with my brothers. It was Dante who stepped forward to answer her.“Things aren't always what they

Maddening rage. That was all I felt, all I could see as I stared at Maria, my best friend. The only friend I've had for the past five years lying lifeless on the floor in the pool of her own blood.I didn't realise I was screaming until I felt the soreness in my throat - but that didn't stop the scream nevertheless.I was boiling in anger - and was two seconds away from snapping.“Shut the fuck up you bitch!” Lucian snapped, gripping me tighter and turning me to face him.His face was cold and contorted in rage, “shut up and stop yelling. This is just the beginning and I will do worse if you dare defile my orders again.”Do worse? I stopped my yelling, but my blood was still boiling with a raging volcano of anger.Do worse?Does he have any idea what he has just done?You do not tempt a demon into rage - and he has successfully done that.For what?“Why?” I whispered, needing to know before I crossed the final edge, “why did you do this? I never did anything wrong to you.”But I knew

"You had so much power in your hands, Xena and you chose to throw it all away. You shall regret your choice - count my words. And when you do, do not come back to me begging.”************"Maria, you know better than to tease me about the Alpha's son," I chuckled, folding a freshly washed shirt in the laundry shades. "Marriage is the last thing on my mind."Maria grinned mischievously, her eyes dancing with amusement. "Come on, Morrigan. If you marry him, you'll be Alpha's daughter-in-law. No more laundry duties for you!"I shook my head, my smile softening. "Status means nothing to me, Maria. I'd rather earn my place than have it given."She rolled her eyes, “You are so - humble. Annoyingly so. You are so lucky, and if I were in your place, heaven knows that I'd grab the opportunity to get out of this hell hole.”I gave her a smile and returned to my duty.It's been three years since I saw the demon realm and built a new identity for myself - as an omega in the Red fang pack.And se

The footsteps behind me stopped me from making that jump that would have taken me to my desired freedom. “Xena," my mother's voice called out, her tone a mix of concern and authority that only a queen could muster.I turned slowly, startled that she had found me "Mother," I replied, trying to mask my surprise. "I was just...""Running away," she finished for me, “Very interesting, isn't it?”There was a cold judgement in her voice that had me hanging my voice in shame - but not enough to dim the resolve within me.“How did you know?”“I'm the queen, Xena.” She said walking closer with a smile on her face, “nothing happens in the demon realm and escapes my watch.”Her words sent a chill down my spine, and I said nothing.“Besides, it's my job to know, especially when my only daughter is on the brink of making a grace mistake.”A grave mistake.Of course.I was expecting those words from her especially since those were the same words she uttered the first to fifth time I tried to reaso
