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. My eyes snapped open, and I was greeted by blinding light, so bright it made me wince. I groaned, raising a hand to shield my eyes as I tried to get my bearings. I was lying on som
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 The Price Of Loyalty
Chapter 17The Price Of LoyaltyQuinton’s POVThe moon hung low in the sky, casting an ethereal glow over the forest. My paws thudded against the damp earth as I ran, my thoughts racing faster than my legs could carry me. The conversation with Selene and the mysterious man still echoed in my mind—Fiona born of the shadows? A war between light and darkness? None of it made sense, and yet every word had burrowed itself deep into my soul.As I pushed forward through the underbrush, my wolf growled in frustration. The trail was fading, Fiona's scent dissipating like mist before the dawn. It was getting harder to track her, harder to feel the connection that had once been so strong. The bond that had tied us together was fraying, unraveling as though something—or someone—was deliberately cutting the threads.I needed answers. I needed to find her.Selene had led me to this portal, hidden deep within the forest. The creatures that had attacked us—those things with their glowing blue eyes an
Alpha King's Unfavored Mate Echoes Of Desperation
Chapter 18Echoes Of DesperationQuinton’s POVI hit the ground hard, the impact forcing the air from my lungs. The swirling shadows dissipated around me, leaving me gasping and disoriented. The forest that had surrounded me mere seconds ago was gone, replaced by a vast, barren wasteland. The sickly gray sky stretched endlessly above me, and the ground beneath my hands was cracked and dry, much like the place I had seen earlier.Fiona’s words—her cold, emotionless voice—still echoed in my mind, cutting deeper than any physical wound ever could. She had told me to leave, to let her go. But how could I? How could I abandon the woman who was supposed to be my mate, my other half?I pushed myself to my feet, my muscles trembling with the effort. The memory of her standing next to that silver-haired man burned in my mind. He had looked at me with a smugness that I wanted to tear off his face, but Fiona… She had looked at me like I was a stranger.No, this wasn’t over. It couldn’t be. I wou
Alpha King's Unfavored Mate Descent Into Shadows
Chapter 19Descent Into ShadowsQuinton’s POVThe icy grip of fear clutched my heart as Fiona lunged at me, her eyes glowing with that unnatural light. This was not the woman I knew, the mate I had fought so hard to protect. Whatever had taken over her was something dark, something I could barely comprehend, let alone defeat. But I couldn’t give up—not on her, not on us.My wolf snarled inside me, ready to tear apart whatever dark force was controlling her. But as Fiona’s hands reached for me, crackling with dark energy, I knew that brute strength wouldn’t be enough. I had to find another way to save her, to pull her back from the abyss she was slipping into.I dodged her attack, barely escaping the searing pain of her energy. The air between us crackled with tension, and I could feel the power radiating off her in waves, each pulse more intense than the last. This wasn’t just a battle of strength; it was a battle for her soul, and I was losing ground fast.“Fiona, please,” I pleaded,
Alpha King's Unfavored Mate The Awakening
Chapter 20The AwakeningFiona’s POVThe first thing I became aware of was the silence—an all-encompassing, heavy silence that pressed down on me like a suffocating blanket. It was the kind of silence that made you question whether you were truly alive, or if you had slipped into some unknown void where nothing existed except your thoughts.I tried to open my eyes, but my body felt sluggish, as though a great weight was pinning me down. Panic began to bubble up inside me as I struggled to move, to break free of whatever was holding me captive. I could feel my wolf stirring within me, but even she seemed weakened, as if the same force keeping me bound had drained her of her strength.Slowly, painfully, I managed to pry my eyes open, squinting against the dim light that surrounded me. The air smelled faintly of damp stone and something acrid—something that made my stomach churn with unease. I forced myself to sit up, every muscle in my body protesting the movement.Where am I?My though
Alpha King's Unfavored Mate Tangled Fates
Chapter 21Tangled FatesQuinton’s POVI stared at the shattered remnants of our lives, pieces of the past scattered around me like debris after a storm. Everything had spiraled out of control, faster than I ever could have predicted. The tension in the air was almost suffocating, like the calm before a violent storm. There was no denying it—the darkness that had haunted us had returned. But now, it wasn’t just lurking in the shadows. It was a part of us, wrapped tightly around Fiona and me, pulling us deeper into its sinister web.I could still feel the echo of the shadow's attack, its cold grip tightening around my mind. It hadn’t just been an external force—no, something had reached deep into both of us, leaving a scar that wouldn’t fade. And while Fiona had been the primary target, I felt every bit of it. I had failed to protect her. The thought gnawed at me, feeding the anger that simmered just below the surface.Fiona was safe for now. At least, physically. But her mental state
Alpha King's Unfavored Mate Wolves Of The Dark
Chapter 22Wolves Of The DarkQuinton’s POVThe room exploded into chaos as the shadowed figure lunged at us. Instinct kicked in, and I dove to the side, narrowly avoiding its outstretched claws. Fiona was right beside me, moving with the grace and speed of a seasoned wolf. For a second, our eyes met, and I could see the determination and fear flashing in hers. We were in this together, but this wasn’t just about survival anymore—it was about understanding the new threat that loomed over us.The shadow-wolf’s presence was unlike anything I’d ever felt before. Its energy was oppressive, suffocating, as if the air around it was being drained of life. It was both a wolf and something more, something ancient and malevolent.Caleb stood unmoved, watching us with an unsettling calm. He didn’t seem to be fazed by the creature’s sudden attack, and I couldn’t help but wonder how deep his involvement with this “shadow pack” went.“Quinton, stay sharp!” Fiona’s voice snapped me back to reality,

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.
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

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
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

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
