Alpha King's Unfavored Mate A Dance With Darkness
Chapter 9A Dance With DarknessQuinton's POVThe shadow lunged at me with a speed I hadn’t anticipated. Its distorted form—twisted and dark like a living nightmare—moved like a blur of black smoke, almost too fast to track. But my instincts, honed from years of battle, kicked in at the last second.I sidestepped, narrowly avoiding the lethal claws aimed at my throat. My heart hammered in my chest, but I couldn’t afford to let fear slow me down. The thing wasn’t just any opponent; it was a manifestation of dark magic—ancient and deadly."Get back!" Odin’s voice cut through the chaos, but I barely heard him as the shadow whipped around, its burning red eyes locked onto me. There was a malice in its gaze, something that felt deeply personal. I wasn’t just fighting for Fiona now. I was fighting for my own life, too.The creature’s laugh—low and rasping like the scraping of bones—echoed around the room. “You cannot win this, Alpha King,” it hissed, circling me like a predator. “She is al
Alpha King's Unfavored Mate The Awakening
Chapter 10The AwakeningFiona's POVPain.That’s the first thing I remember. Not the soft kind of pain that you can push through, but the raw, burning sensation that digs deep into your bones and makes you wish for unconsciousness. But this time, no matter how much I willed the darkness to take me, it wouldn’t. I tried to open my eyes, but it felt like they were glued shut. My entire body felt like it had been weighed down by invisible chains. Breathing was a struggle, each inhale like dragging fire into my lungs. What happened? The last thing I could remember clearly was Quinton… his voice, sharp with desperation. And then—darkness.Slowly, like swimming through molasses, I began to sense my surroundings. Cold air brushed over my skin. Something heavy and damp pressed against my limbs—was I on the floor? I tried to move, but my body didn’t respond the way I wanted it to. Panic flickered in the back of my mind, but I forced myself to stay calm.Focus, Fiona. Gradually, my senses s
Alpha King's Unfavored Mate Bound By Darkness
Chapter 11Bound By DarknessFiona's POVMy heart hammered in my chest as we ran through the forest, the oppressive darkness surrounding us like a thick fog. Every step felt heavier, my body aching from the aftershock of whatever magic had ripped through me. Quinton’s unconscious form draped over Odin’s shoulder only added to my desperation. I could still hear his shallow breathing, but each breath was too weak, too fragile.I should’ve been stronger. I should’ve been able to protect him.But all I could do now was follow Odin, my feet pounding against the forest floor as we raced against time. The presence of the dark magic lingered, a malevolent force that stalked us like a predator. I could feel it, closing in with each passing second.“We’re almost there,” Odin said, his voice low but urgent. His face was set in a hard line, his eyes scanning the dark woods around us.I swallowed hard, trying to push down the fear gnawing at me. “Where are we going?”“To a safehouse,” Odin replied
Alpha King's Unfavored Mate A Descent Into Shadows
Chapter 12A Descent Into ShadowsFiona's POVThe darkness swallowed Quinton whole, leaving me gasping for breath as I lay sprawled on the cold floor. My vision blurred, the remnants of Odin’s broken ritual hanging in the air like shattered glass. The pulse of dark energy still resonated within me, but the one thing I feared most was the gaping emptiness where Quinton’s presence used to be.I scrambled to my feet, my limbs heavy and weak. “Quinton!” I screamed into the silence, but there was no response. The cabin’s walls seemed to close in around me, pressing in like the suffocating darkness outside. It was as if the entire world had collapsed into itself, and all that remained was this void. Odin staggered up beside me, a grim expression on his face. His eyes held a mixture of horror and regret, but also something else—a glimmer of hope. “It’s not over,” he muttered, clutching his side as he straightened. “We still have a chance to save him.”“How?” I demanded, my voice trembling.
Alpha King's Unfavored Mate Into The Abyss
Chapter 13Into The AbyssFiona's POVThe darkness crashed over me like a tidal wave, pulling me under so fast, I couldn't breathe. My senses were overwhelmed—suffocating, thick, cold. It was as if the very air had turned solid, trapping me in an unrelenting void. My wolf, once snarling and defiant, was silent now, retreating into the depths of my mind where even she couldn’t fight against this force. I grasped desperately for something—anything—solid, anything familiar, but all I felt was the pulsing rhythm of the shadows around me. There was no ground beneath me, no air to fill my lungs. Only the pressing weight of dark magic that tightened around my chest like a noose. But then, through the crushing blackness, I felt it—a spark. Small, faint, but unmistakably Quinton.His presence flared in my mind, a pulse of warmth amid the icy void, and I clung to it with everything I had. I could feel him, barely there but still alive, fighting beneath the layers of darkness that had swallowe
Alpha King's Unfavored Mate The Depths Of Despair
Chapter 14The Depths Of Despair Fiona's POVThe first thing I became aware of was the cold. It seeped into my bones, deeper than any winter chill I’d ever felt, numbing every inch of my body. I tried to open my eyes, but the lids were heavy, weighed down by exhaustion and the residual effects of the dark magic that had taken hold of me. My mind was a fog, struggling to grasp onto anything solid, anything real. But then the memories came flooding back, slamming into me with the force of a tidal wave. The void, Quinton lost to the darkness, the mysterious figure with the voice that echoed from the abyss. Panic flared in my chest, and I forced my eyes open, desperate to make sense of where I was.I was lying on the cold, hard ground, my body stiff and aching. The air was thick with the scent of damp earth and something else—something metallic, like blood. The dim light that filtered through the dense canopy above cast eerie shadows, making it difficult to see anything clearly.I push
Alpha King's Unfavored Mate The Shadow Within
Chapter 15The Shadow Within Fiona's POVThe darkness was different this time. It wasn’t the cold, empty void that had swallowed Quinton or the eerie blackness of the forest. It was suffocating, pressing in on all sides, squeezing the breath from my lungs and the thoughts from my mind. I was drowning in it, lost in a sea of shadows, with no light, no hope of escape.But somewhere, deep within that darkness, there was a presence. It was familiar, comforting even, like a whisper of a memory long forgotten. I reached for it, desperate for anything that could pull me from the abyss, but the shadows clung to me, dragging me down, deeper and deeper.Then, just as I was about to give in, to let the darkness consume me, I felt a jolt—a sharp, searing pain that cut through the fog and brought me back to reality.

Alpha King's Unfavored Mate Shadows Of Fate
Chapter 16Shadows Of FateQuinton's POVThe scent of pine and rain lingered in the air as I crossed the threshold of the forest, leaving behind the familiar warmth of the pack house. My senses were on high alert, every instinct tuned to Fiona’s scent, but I couldn’t find it—couldn’t feel the bond that usually pulsed through me like a lifeline. It was as though something had severed it, and for the first time since we bonded, I felt truly lost.Panic had been a steady companion since Fiona disappeared after that strange energy blast. The darkness that surrounded her, the unnatural force that had drawn her away from me, felt like a bruise on my soul. It was as if the universe had torn her away from my grasp, and now, everything felt incomplete—like a part of me was missing.I had searched every inch of the forest, every hidden cave, every clearing, but there was no sign of her. My wolf growled with frustration, a raw, primal need to protect our mate coursing through my veins. But somet

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
Alpha King's Unfavored Mate Revelations Unveiled
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.
Alpha King's Unfavored Mate A Dark Revelation
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
Alpha King's Unfavored Mate The Edge of Control
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
Alpha King's Unfavored Mate Tangled Fates

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. The forest was still eerily quiet, and it felt like the trees themselves were watching us, waiting to see what would unfold.I didn’t trust him. 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
