Alpha Santa Fight for Survival
PiperFuck. Fuck. Fuck.If Serena truly was the same creature I saw in the woods, feasting on that poor human’s heart like it was nothing…And now she had Zoe in her captivity.That meant Zoe was next. She would eat her heart too—No. I refuse to believe it.Zoe and her babies were in serious danger.I clench my fists and lift my chin, meeting Serena’s unreadable gaze. "I know what you are." My voice drips with pure disgust.Her expression doesn't shift, but something flickers in her eyes—something dark and amused."Don't you dare lay a single finger on Zoe," I growl, stepping closer despite the instinct screaming at me to run. "Or I swear, I will kill you myself."She scoffs, her lips curling. "Kill me? You can’t even save yourself, little girl."My nails dig into my palms. “You think you’ll get away with this? If you harm me, Elijah will tear you apart. And if you touch Zoe, Ryder sure as hell will. But guess what? I won’t wait for them. I’ll kill you first.”Serena's smirk deepens,

"You lied, didn't you?" Anna rasps, her voice weak but laced with accusation.I arch a brow, tilting my head. "What?""You knew," she gasps, blinking rapidly as tears mix with the blood staining her face. "You knew that since Elijah marked you, you’d possess his strength and power. You knew you weren’t just human anymore. You tricked me into fighting you alone, knowing you would win." Her voice cracks, betrayal shining in her wide eyes.I roll my eyes, unimpressed. "Right now, Anna, I don’t think you have the right to be asking questions," I hiss, tightening my grip on her bloodied chin. "I’m the one asking questions here, dear, worthless Anna."She tries to push herself up, but her body fails her. With a whimper, she collapses back onto the bloodstained ground, her desperation evident as she turns her head, lips parting. "Help me," she croaks, weakly reaching out as if expecting someone—anyone—to save her."You think someone’s going to help you?" I seethe, stepping back. "Can’t you s

The wind howls as I race through the forest, my paws barely skimming the ground, but no matter how fast I run, the unease in my chest refuses to subside.I try again to reach Piper through the mind link. Piper? Silence. Damn it, answer me! But there’s nothing—just an empty void where our connection should be.The mate bond is all over the place—one moment warm and steady, the next, flickering like a candle about to be snuffed out. It sends conflicting emotions surging through me—fear, urgency.I push myself harder, muscles burning, the trees blurring past me in streaks of green and brown. I need to get back to her. NowThen I see them.Dark figures moving in the distance, slinking between the trees. They aren’t wolves—aren’t anything I’ve seen before. Their forms shift in the moonlight—tall, grotesque creatures with elongated limbs and glowing red eyes that burn like embers. A low growl rumbles from my chest as I slow my pace, my muscles coiled, ready for a fight.One of them steps fo

PiperZoe’s tear-filled eyes plead with me to run, but I shake my head, swallowing down the fear clawing at my throat. I won’t leave her—not to this monster.I turn slowly, facing Serena. She still carries the commanding grace of a Luna, but I see her for what she truly is now—a dark witch who feeds on humans.But it’s the blood-red necklace around her throat that draws my attention. Anna’s warning echoes in my mind. That necklace could be her weakness. But how the hell do I get close enough to take it?I take a deep breath, forcing my anger into a bitter laugh. "So, the whole story about the curse was fake?" My voice drips with disbelief. “All that talk about needing me to awaken my wolf, training me to be strong enough to bear twelve pups—it was all just part of your twisted plans?”Serena’s lips curl into a smirk, but something flickers in her eyes—just for a moment. Guilt? It vanishes almost as quickly as it appeared.“I see your friend has told you everything,” she tuts, shaking

Her scream reverberates through the walls, sending my heart into a frenzied rhythm. But I stay pressed against the cold surface, keeping up the act.Serena glares, her chest rising and falling. “I have lived a thousand years,” she hisses. “And I am so close to becoming truly immortal. If I have to destroy all of you a thousand times to get there, then so be it.”She gestures toward Zoe with a flick of her wrist. “Your friend and her unborn children? They’ll give me, what? A hundred years at most? But you, Piper…”She steps closer, her cold breath ghosting against my skin.“The baby growing inside of you… your soul…” She smirks, her voice dropping to a whisper, laced with something dark and triumphant. “That will unlock my immortality.”My entire body goes still.Did she just say…?I have a baby growing inside me?I’m pregnant? Right now?Fuck.A lump rises in my throat as I lift my gaze to Zoe. She meets my eyes with a tired, sad smile—a silent congratulations, though she looks like s

Piper’s POVI sprint down the hallway, my breaths coming in sharp, panicked bursts. The walls blur past me, the thick scent of antiseptic and blood clinging to the air, but I don’t stop. I can’t stop.Please, let Zoe be okay. Let the babies survive.The thought of her lifeless, her babies lost forever to Serena’s dark magic, squeezes my heart, making it harder to breathe.I push through the clinic doors, and the sight before me makes my stomach drop.Zoe lies on the hospital bed, pale and fragile, her body covered in wires and IV drips. Ryder is sitting beside her, his large hand cradling hers, his thumb gently stroking her skin as if his touch alone could keep her anchored to this world.A sob escapes my lips before I can stop it.Ryder’s head snaps up, his tired eyes meeting mine. His face is etched with grief, exhaustion lining every sharp angle of his jaw. He bows his head slightly in acknowledgement before pressing a lingering kiss to Zoe’s knuckles. Then, he carefully places her

Piper’s POVLast night was hell.Even with the walls separating us, I could hear Zoe crying. The sound of it seeped into my bones, and no matter how much I tried to shut it out, it clung to me, thick and heavy. Her pain was suffocating. My heart ached for her, and I cried too—maybe it was the pregnancy hormones, or maybe it was just because I couldn’t stand hearing her break like that.When I woke up, my eyes were swollen, and my head pounding from the lack of sleep. Elijah had told me Ryder finally broke the news to Zoe about her babies, and since then, she hadn’t stopped crying. At one point, I even wished I wasn’t a werewolf, that I was still human—because then I wouldn’t have to hear every gut-wrenching sob.Now, as I step out into the cold morning air, I wipe my swollen eyes and make my way toward the entrance of the Luna Court. Elijah had told me we’d be leaving today, that I didn’t need to pack—not that I had much to begin with. Honestly, I was relieved to leave this place behi

PiperThe crowd erupts into laughter—not just a few chuckles or scattered snickers, but a full-blown roar of amusement, as if I’ve just told the most ridiculous joke of the century.The elderly woman who spoke first sneers, her wrinkled face twisting with disdain. “Respect?” she repeats mockingly. “Alpha Elijah doesn’t deserve our respect anymore. He abandoned us for five years—five years while the curse took hold of our people. And now, he waltzes back in as if nothing happened?" Her gaze shifts to Elijah, her expression a mix of contempt and sorrow. "Where was he when we needed him?"The hostility in the air is suffocating.Elijah’s jaw clenches, but he remains silent. Beside him, Ryder looks ready to pounce, his hands curled into tight fists at the blatant disrespect toward his Alpha.Another elder, a man with a hunched back and eyes clouded with age but still burning with resentment, raises his voice.

Elijah takes my hands, his thumb running slowly over my knuckles."Are you ready?"We stand before his massive black wolf painting, the creature’s eyes glowing faintly, watching us—as if aware, as if waiting. This journey is different. This time we are leaving Zoe and Ryder in charge of the pack until we return.I swallow, my gaze flickering to the new painting beside it—my wolf. My own portal to the human world. It still feels surreal knowing I now have access to both worlds. No longer just a human. No longer powerless."Yeah… just nervous," I admit.Elijah’s lips curl into a soft smile. "You’ll be fine, my Luna."His voice drops to a low, melodic hum as he begins to chant, the ancient words rolling off his tongue like a song only wolves understand."Na'vethar ka vethril, se'reythar ka mor'zhil dharani."(Open the gate, reveal the path to the mortal realm.)The moment the words leave his lips, the painting in front of us trembles, the canvas rippling like water disturbed by a stone.
Alpha Santa The Coronation
Elijah Two weeks have passed, and yet, I still replay that moment in my head—Piper standing in front of my pack members, fierce and unyielding, defending me with every ounce of fire in her. My mate. My Luna.I should have forced them all to their knees, made them submit with my Alpha command, or cast them out into the streets for their disrespect. But I didn’t. Because I understand their frustration. I know why they acted the way they did. And that’s the difference between a tyrant and a true leader.That doesn’t mean my patience isn’t wearing thin.Right now, I’m sitting at the head of the long council table, my fingers drumming against the polished wood, as the elders argue amongst themselves like a bunch of squabbling hens. My jaw tightens. They’ve been pushing me, testing me, thinking I’ll break under their bullshit.Elder Marcus, the smug bastard, leans forward with a smirk. "Alpha Elijah, the two weeks are up. There has been no announcement of a pregnancy, which means—""Which
