Chapter 60Renewed Sense Of DeterminationFiona’s POVThe wind howled through the trees as I made my way to the designated meeting point. The dense forest seemed darker than usual, the canopy above blocking out the moonlight and casting eerie shadows across the path. Despite the chill in the air, a bead of sweat traced down my spine. The encounter with the Primordials was more than just a strategic move; it was an emotional battlefield. Every step I took felt heavy with the weight of uncertainty and the ever-present threat that lingered in our lives.The forest clearing where the meeting was to take place was eerily quiet. The only sounds were the crunch of leaves underfoot and the distant hoot of an owl. I glanced around, scanning the area for any signs of danger or ambush. The feeling of being watched was almost palpable, a reminder that we were entering a delicate and potentially deadly negotiation.As I approached the clearing, I saw a figure standing in the middle, cloaked in sha

Chapter 61Shadows in the LightFiona's POVAs dawn broke through the dense canopy of the forest, I felt an unusual sense of heaviness in the air. The meeting with Seraphina still lingered in my mind, her words echoing like a haunting melody. There was a new weight to everything now, a sense that our lives were intertwined with forces far older and more dangerous than we had imagined. The ancient magic she spoke of, tied to our bloodline, was a terrifying mystery. One we had little choice but to unravel.I glanced around the camp, taking in the quiet bustle of the pack as they prepared for the day ahead. Despite everything, there was a comforting routine to our mornings—members gathering firewood, preparing food, and sharpening weapons. It was the normalcy we clung to, even as the world around us seemed to shift with every passing moment.Quinton caught my eye from across the camp, his expression a mix of concern and resolve. He’d been my anchor through all of this, his strength and d

Chapter 62 The Burden of Blood Fiona's POV I woke up with a start, the familiar sensation of dread tightening in my chest. It was early morning, but the thick canopy of trees above cast long shadows across the camp, making it seem like the world hadn’t quite decided whether it was ready for daylight. The air was damp with the early mist, and the cool breeze sent shivers down my spine.I sat up, trying to shake off the remnants of a dream that was quickly fading from my mind. Quinton lay next to me, his chest rising and falling steadily. For a moment, I let myself relax, taking comfort in the sight of him at peace. But that sense of calm was short-lived. The reality of everything we were up against crashed back down on me like a wave.The pack was scattered, hunting down leads, searching for any signs of the new threat that had emerged. The ominous presence of the witch, Arlena, was still fresh in my mind. She had made it clear that she wasn’t going to give up until she had what

Chapter 63 The Hunter in the Shadows Quinton's POV The forest was unusually quiet. Too quiet. Every step I took felt amplified in the silence as if the trees themselves were holding their breath, waiting for something to happen. Fiona walked beside me, her eyes sharp and alert, though I could feel the weight she carried pressing down on her. I wanted to ease that burden, to take some of it away, but how could I when I didn’t even know what lay ahead? Arlena was still out there, lurking like a shadow that refused to be chased away, and each passing day felt like we were falling deeper into her trap. The rogue’s death earlier that morning had only intensified the tension, sending a chilling message: she was getting closer. “Do you think she’s watching us right now?” Fiona’s voice broke through my thoughts. Her gaze scanned the trees, her body tense as if she was expecting something to jump out at any second. “She’s always watching,” I replied, my voice low. “That’s what s

Chapter 64Beneath the SurfaceFiona’s POVThe camp had settled into a restless quiet, the kind that filled the spaces between heartbeats and made the silence itself feel oppressive. The aftershocks of the recent attack still reverberated through our pack, their echoes settling heavily in the atmosphere. I couldn’t shake the sense of unease that clung to me like a second skin.Lying in my tent, I stared at the canvas ceiling, the thoughts of our recent battles and the mysterious forces at play swirling in my mind. Despite the exhaustion that tugged at my limbs, sleep was elusive. The weight of the recent violence, the unanswered questions, and the looming threat of whatever lay in wait for us made it impossible to find solace.I rose from my bedroll, careful not to make a sound. The cool night air greeted me as I stepped outside, a welcome change from the stifling heat of the tent. I moved quietly through the camp, the flickering firelight casting long shadows across the ground. Every

Chapter 65Threads of FateFiona’s POVThe dawn broke with a cold, gray light that filtered through the trees, casting a muted glow over the camp. The tranquility of early morning was deceptive, masking the tension that lingered in the air like a storm cloud waiting to burst. I could sense it even before I emerged from my tent—the weight of uncertainty pressing heavily on everyone.I dressed quickly, pulling on my gear with automatic movements. The events of the previous day seemed to have accelerated the urgency of our situation, and I was eager to start the day. The sooner we could gather information and prepare, the better.As I stepped outside, I was greeted by the sight of the camp slowly coming to life. Some pack members were already gathered around the central fire, their conversations hushed and cautious.

Chapter 66Shadows in the DarkQuinton's POVThe firelight flickered in front of me, casting long shadows that danced eerily against the trees surrounding the camp. My mind raced with thoughts of the symbols we had found earlier. Despite Fiona’s insistence that we were on the right track, the sense of unease I felt refused to subside. I couldn’t shake the feeling that something much darker and more dangerous lurked beneath the surface.The pack gathered around the fire, discussing strategies and possible interpretations of the symbols. Everyone was on edge, but Fiona remained calm, her focus unwavering as she studied the crude carvings in a notebook we’d brought back. It was one of the things I admired most about her—her ability to keep a clear head under pressure. Yet, even with her calm presence, I could sense the weight of what we were up against starting to creep in.“Quinton.” Fiona’s voice broke through my thoughts, soft but urgent. She looked up from the notebook, her brow furr

Chapter 67UnbreakableQuinton's POVThe twisted wolves were relentless, their snarls and howls filling the air as they circled us like predators closing in for the kill. The tension was unbearable, the stench of their decay wafting around us, making it hard to breathe. Every inch of me screamed with the urge to protect Fiona, to tear apart any threat that dared to approach her. But no matter how many we brought down, more emerged from the shadows. They were feral, rabid, driven by something beyond hunger. It was as if their very existence was bound to something darker—something far worse than we had anticipated.I blocked a vicious bite aimed at my throat, kicking the creature back with all my strength. Its glowing eyes locked onto mine, twisted with rage and something far more sinister. These things weren’t like us. They weren’t even wolves.

Alpha King's Unfavored Mate A Dangerous Gamble
Chapter 82A Dangerous GambleQuinton's POVAs we left the clearing, I could feel Fiona’s anguish radiating through every step she took. Her brother, Caleb, being alive was a twist none of us had anticipated, and it cut deeper than anything Lilith had thrown at us so far. But it wasn’t just that. The real wound was seeing him twisted, loyal to the very enemy we were trying to stop. I wanted to say something to comfort her, but I knew words wouldn’t help now. What Fiona needed was action—and answers.“Do you think he’s too far gone?” she asked quietly, barely above a whisper.I looked over at her, unsure of what to say. Caleb’s eyes had been empty—cold. I wasn’t sure what Lilith had done to him, but it felt like she’d stripped him of something vital, something human. “I don’t know,” I admitted. “But we’re going to find out.”We pushed through the underbrush, the night air thick with tension. I had to focus on the immediate problem: how to deal with Lilith’s growing power and Caleb’s in

Chapter 81Revelations UnveiledFiona's POVThe shock of seeing my brother standing beside Lilith sent my mind into a whirlwind of confusion. For years, I thought he was dead. Killed when we were children, lost to a tragedy I could barely remember. But there he was, his eyes gleaming with that same dangerous light I’d seen in my own reflection recently.My breath hitched, and for a moment, I couldn’t speak. It was as though all the air had been sucked from my lungs. "Caleb?" I whispered, taking a cautious step forward.He didn’t respond, his gaze cold and emotionless, like a stranger wearing my brother’s face. The Caleb I remembered had a kindness in his eyes, a warmth. This man... was different. Darker. I couldn’t feel any of the sibling bond we’d once shared. Instead, I felt the same oppressive energy I’d always sensed from Lilith—only now, it was doubled."Surprised to see him?" Lilith’s voice was like silk, dripping with malice. "He’s been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Chapter 80A Dark RevelationFiona's POVThe darkness that swallowed the cave was absolute, suffocating. I couldn’t see Quinton or even hear him. Panic began to bubble up inside me, making my chest feel tight. My heart pounded wildly, each beat echoing in my ears. I reached out, blindly, desperate to find him.“Quinton!” My voice cracked in the overwhelming silence.No response.My pulse quickened as I realized how alone I felt in this void, but I couldn’t afford to lose myself to fear. I squeezed my eyes shut, forcing myself to focus. I could still sense Quinton’s presence somewhere near me—his energy, that raw and protective aura, flickering through the dark. It was faint but there. I had to find him."Fiona..."His voice, strained and faint, came from somewhere close but distant, like he was calling from deep underwater. Relief washed over me, but it was short-lived.Lilith was still out there.My fists clenched, and I took a deep breath, trying to calm the wild thrum of magic bene
Alpha King's Unfavored Mate In The Shadows
Chapter 79In The ShadowsFiona's POVThe cave’s air was thick with tension, as if the forest outside held its breath, waiting. I knelt beside Quinton, trying to stem the bleeding from his wounds. His skin was pale, far too pale, and his breaths were shallow. My heart clenched as I worked, pressing torn pieces of my shirt to his chest, wishing I knew more about healing."You’ll be okay," I whispered, though my voice trembled. I had to keep it together. For him.Quinton’s eyes fluttered open, glazed with pain but still sharp with concern. "We don’t have time to stay here long.""Shh. Just rest," I insisted, but even as I said it, I knew he was right. That stranger wasn’t done with us, not by a long shot. The fight was far from over, and the way the stranger had looked at me, like I was some kind of... weapon, sent a chill down my spine.I glanced toward the cave entrance, half-expecting to see a shadow creeping toward us. The night outside was pitch black, and though we had some time t

Chapter 78The Edge of ControlQuinton's POVPain shot through my body as the stranger’s hand pressed down harder on my chest, pinning me to the ground. I growled, baring my teeth, but it was no use. Whoever this new threat was, they were stronger than anyone I’d ever faced. Fiona’s scream rang in my ears, but I couldn’t focus on her right now. I had to break free, had to fight. But the stranger’s strength was overwhelming, their eyes cold and calculating as they gazed down at me, almost amused by my struggle.“You really thought you could protect her?” the stranger taunted, their voice dripping with mockery. “You don’t even know what she’s capable of.”My muscles burned with the effort as I tried to push them off, but they didn’t budge. I could feel their claws digging into my skin, sharp and unforgiving, and I knew if I didn’t act soon, they’d tear me apart. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Fiona standing there, her hands raised, her eyes glowing with that strange, uncontrollabl

Chapter 77Tangled FatesFiona's POVThe air crackled with lingering energy as I collapsed into Quinton’s embrace, the force of the power I’d just unleashed still thrumming through my veins. My head swirled, a strange combination of exhaustion and exhilaration. The stones in the clearing had responded to me in a way I hadn’t expected—like they had been waiting for me, for this moment. “What just happened?” I whispered, trying to make sense of the chaos that had unfolded. Quinton held me tightly, his heartbeat slowing as we stood in the eerie silence that followed the blast. The forest around us was still, as if the earth itself was holding its breath, waiting for what would come next.“I don’t know,” he admitted, his breath warm against my ear. “But whatever you did… it worked.”I looked up at him, my eyes searching his for any reassurance. “This power—I didn’t even know I had it. It’s like… it’s like it’s growing, and I don’t understand it.”Quinton’s gaze softened, his hand cuppin

Chapter 76Echoes of DeceptionFiona’s POVThe clearing was silent, save for the rapid beating of my heart. My breath came in shallow gasps as I watched Gabriel vanish into the shadows, leaving Quinton and me standing over Victor’s barely conscious form. Quinton looked at me, concern etched into his face, but there was something deeper, something unspoken between us. He wanted to protect me, to shield me from all this danger, but he knew just as I did—there was no turning back now. We were in this together, for better or for worse.“Are you okay?” His voice was strained, as if speaking the words took effort.I nodded, still catching my breath. “I’m fine. Are you?”He grunted in response, clearly hurting from the brawl, but he wouldn’t let it show. Quinton’s strength was both his greatest weapon and his biggest weakness. He carried the weight of every battle, every danger we faced as if it was his sole responsibility. And now, standing in the aftermath of another close call, I could s

Chapter 75Shadow of BetrayalQuinton’s POVThe moment Gabriel led us deeper into the woods, I felt the tension in my chest rise. Something wasn’t right. Everything about this situation screamed danger, but Fiona and I had no other choice. Lukas had the upper hand, and this was our best chance of stopping him. Still, I couldn’t shake the feeling that Gabriel was leading us into a trap.“Stay close,” I whispered to Fiona, my hand resting protectively on her lower back. She nodded, her eyes sharp and focused, but I could feel the nervous energy radiating off her.Gabriel walked ahead of us, moving with a fluid grace that unnerved me. He was too calm, too collected.

Not for a second.“Are you sure about this?” Fiona whispered, her voice barely audible.I hesitated before answering. “No. But we don’t have much of a choice, do we?”Her eyes flicke

The forest was quiet now, unnaturally so, as if it was holding its breath, waiting to see what would happen next. I felt my chest tighten with the weight of everything. Who was this Gabriel? Could we trust him? Every part of me screamed no, but what choice did we have?Quinton's body was tense beside me, his wolf instincts on full alert. I could feel his need to protect me radiating off him, but I also knew that something about Gabriel intrigued him. Maybe it was the chance to gain an advantage over Lukas and Lucian, or maybe it was the desperation we both felt as we realized we were being hunted."Why now?" I asked, my voice cutting through the thick silence. "Why reveal yourself to us now, Gabriel?"Gabriel's eyes flickered toward me, and for a brief moment, I thought I saw something—pain, or maybe regret. But it vanished as
