Alpha of GodsHarmony Moon Series Book 3A Steamy Werewolf / Dragon / Hybrid Romance NovelMs. SophiaChapter 1: Who is He?RyderMy pulse was racing, my breathing was rapid, but I could do this all day. Nothing is a challenge for me anymore. I ducked as a fist aiming for my face barely grazed the side of my head. That’s only because I am becoming bored with all of this, he wouldn’t have touched me otherwise.“Ryder, get your head in the game. Luca has almost landed a blow to your face twice now!” My dad shouted over the growing crowd.I glowered at my father but decided to get a little more serious so he would back off. I caught Basil’s kick, spinning him in a way that caused him to land hard on his back. I turned fast before Luca could catch me with my back facing him. I trained my eyes on him. Luca attempted to land a right elbow strike then an uppercut. He moved quickly, and with ease, reflecting the skill of a trained killer. I could see the determination on his face as he hoped
Chapter 2: I Need ReliefRyder “What are you wanting to get into tonight anyway?” Luca said while shoveling a spoonful of oatmeal into his mouth. I looked at him in disgust.“Is that oatmeal? It’s dinner time.” I hate oatmeal, no matter what time of the day it is.“Mind your business.” Luca shoved another spoonful of oatmeal in his mouth. I couldn’t help but to roll my eyes. I sighed.“I don’t know, man. Let's just go for a ride and see where we end up.” I answered Luca’s question from earlier.“You want to head toward the city?” Luca questioned.The mythical lands have no blacktop within miles. Even outside the veil you have to travel at least twenty miles on overgrown dirt roads to make it to the nearest main road.“Yeah, I have to get out of here for a while. I feel like I am suffocating.”Luca turned his bowl up to his mouth, finishing off the last of his oatmeal. I held back a gag. Turning my back to Luca, I headed to the closest exit from the dining room. Luca scrambled to cat
Chapter 3: ThirstyRyderLuca didn’t seem to take a breath while loosely sharing his strange fantasies in the bedroom. I managed to block him out, nodding my head every now and then so he would think I was still listening. Relieved to finally make it to the security gates of the storage facility I scanned my key card and the metal gates automatically opened. I chose this facility to store my bike because security is a top priority here. I sped up my pace to a fast walk. Adrenaline was already coursing through my veins with anticipation of the ride. Damn, it has been too long, I couldn’t wait to turn the throttle and feel the power of my bike beneath me. There’s something about riding that calms me. It’s like no other feeling in the world. I must take my love of riding back after my father and grandfather. I have heard the same stories from both of them one hundred times over. Security lights illuminated our way as we walked toward our storage unit. The crunching of gravel sounded bene
Chapter 4: The ClubRyderLuca and I cruised a while through the city. The yellow streetlights lining the roadway brightened and dimmed every time I passed by one. The streets are busy, but eerie at this time of night. Beings who look like humans but could be something else walked the sidewalks. I know they can’t be up to anything good in these back alleyways. I know these fuckers, and they aren’t good. Rapists, drug peddlers and lords, gangs, and thieves. The sight of them has me clenching my fists hard on my hand grips. They have a bad habit of giving me a menacing look as I roll by them. It’s a look that makes me want to have them bite the curb as I kick in the backs of their skulls. I try to control that side of me tonight. I’m not letting anything ruin this night for me. I enjoy every time I get to cut loose and go on a ride, but there is something about tonight in particular. It may be the fact that it has been a while since I was able to leave the mythical lands. Dad’s intense
Chapter 5: A Little FunRyderA doe eyed beauty greeted me from the other side of the bar.“Ryder, long time no see. What can I get you, a margarita, wine cooler, wine?”Rain knew me better than that. I raised my eyebrow at her, she gave me a flirty smile. Taking out my favorite whiskey and a couple shot glasses she simultaneously looked me up and down. She growled low. I couldn’t help but laugh at her.“I didn’t know elves growled. I gotta say, I find it sexy as hell.”She smiled and licked her lips. Her confidence drew me in like a magnet, easily disarming me from any idea of finding someone new to entertain me tonight. Long brown hair she likes to style with flowers and foliage from her garden. A tiny shapely body. She had medium tan skin. Her cheeks were always slightly blushed, making her look shy and innocent. I know very well there is nothing innocent about this elf. Hell, I even found her pointed ears sexy. The fact that she was wearing a black leather form fitting bodysuit th
Chapter 6: What’s Her Name?RyderIt wasn’t easy keeping away from girls who wanted to grind on me. I decided to stay off the dance floor all together. I picked a seat in the back of the club and ordered a few more shots. I patiently tapped my knuckles on the table as I looked around me. I let my eyes roam briefly over the left side of the room and paused on something that caught my eye. Leaning with her back and one foot propped against a wall with a drink in her hand stood a woman. Never have I felt the need to do a double take, but this female had me doing just that. We locked eyes and held each other's gazes. Neither one of us wanted to look away. I felt captivated by her beauty. My heart rate sped up as I drank in her features, I let my greedy eyes pour over her, Intent on burning every perfect detail of this woman into my mind. Silver blond hair fell in waves over her shoulders. She had tan skin that seemed to glow with golden hues and a sprinkle of freckles across her cheeks an
Chapter 7: HerRyder“I don’t even want to know.” Cam said.I wiped the corners of my eyes and attempted to gain control of myself. It’s time to train, and I take my training seriously. Luca and I went back to stretching while Dad and Cam got everything ready. I’m practicing shifting today. My dad is a full-blooded dragon, my mom is a Lycan. So, what does that make me? A hairy dragon? No… I can shift into either. I’m the very first of my kind. Many think I am an abomination but are too afraid to say it to my face. People are also creeped out because my Lycan doesn't have its own alter ego. It’s just me, I am my Lycan, the same as I am my dragon. I don’t have voices talking in my head, and I like it that way.I ran straight ahead moving in a blur. I pulled my dragon forth feeling the power pulse throughout my body. My arms, legs, fingers, and toes tingle as the shift begins. I continued to run as I stretched my arms out to the sides. I threw my head back as pain radiated from the back
Chapter 8: EavesdroppingDemiI pressed my back flat against the wall as I attempted to keep my presence unknown. I wouldn’t chance eavesdropping on Selene and Typhon unless It was completely necessary, and right now, it’s necessary.“Things are getting serious, Typhon. They want to limit his power and abilities. We can’t let this happen!”I heard shuffling of feet. I can imagine Typhon crossing his arms over his chest and shifting his weight in response to Selene's concerns.“I know, Selene. At this moment, there is nothing we can do. The fate of the boy remains unknown at this time. You and I are tempting fate as it is. Keeping him safe may mean we have no other option but to let them bind his powers.”“Unacceptable!”Typhon groaned at Selene’s response. Her stubbornness is one of her greatest attributes. It’s one reason why I look up to her. She is the only female Goddesses that isn’t afraid to stand up to Zeus, and she does it for her children of the moon. The werewolves and Lycan
Chapter 87: Can’t Judge MeDemiI held onto him, not wanting to let Ryder go. Ryder gave me a reassuring glance then leans down to place a soft kiss on my lips. Pulling back, he let his forehead rest on mine the way he always did when he wanted to reassure me. “Demi, I promise you this. I won’t let anything, or anyone separate us ever again. Trust me.” His voice was calming, and I believed him, always.Ryder led me over to Selene. She gave him a promising look with her canine eyes. One’s that said she would take care of me. I snuggled into her silver blue fur, not knowing what else to do with myself. My heart was ready to beat out of my chest. Every step Ryder made that led him closer to Zeus made me want to vomit.Once Ryder was standing in front of Zeus they had both met in the middle. Noone was around them, but their voices could still be heard clearly. Ryder was standing tall. He was just as tall as Zeus now. “Ryder, I was ready to be done with you. You are
Chapter 86: He’s HereRyderShe ran over to my side positioning herself as if she was ready to fight for me. I’ll destroy Olympus and every living thing who calls it home if they even think of taking her from me ever again. I stand. Ares tries to move but my aura keeps him in place. Demi looks up towards me with worry filled eyes. I kiss her forehead and using one arm I push her behind me. She sobs into my back, and it makes me want to end Zeus for causing her tears to fall.Black clouds roll over each other in the sky. Everything around us becomes even darker. Bolts of lightning travel from east to west with one flash after another. “Dramatic much?” I ask waiting on Zeus to show up. “Ryder! Shhhh!” Demi scolded.The fighting around us stopped a bit ago and Drake stepped up to my side. Zeus appeared right in front of me walking as if he was on a mission. I clenched my teeth and prepared myself. Poseidon and another god appeared at his side though I couldn’t nam
Chapter 85: Let’s GoDemiJust because I promised Ryder I would stay away from his fight with Ares doesn’t mean I plan to stay out of the fight all together. I grab hold of an Olympus soldier. He screamed as I lifted him high into the air. I have already used my healing powers, why would I hold my other powers back now? I dropped him placing both palms of my hands together then released a golden blast that degenerated both his body and armor. Simply dropping him wouldn’t have killed him. He’s an Olympus soldier, they are the strongest of all armies. It’s best not to play around with them.I was elated to see that Luca and Drake were alive. Luca looked like he had been road hard and put up wet, but he was alive none the less. I Kept my eyes trained on Ryder to make sure nothing surprised him from behind. He kept giving me an angry side eye every time I dropped down to assist. It was his way of telling me to get back and stay safe, but what kind of mate would I be to allow him to fight
Chapter 84: Broken Chains**Demi**I blinked and Ares had ahold of my hand, stopping the blade from piercing my heart. “I… I love you Ryder. If we can’t be together in life, maybe… Maybe we can be together in death.” I whispered into the dusty air.Tears streamed down my cheeks. I am praying that I can see him again. I feel the blade make its way through the skin of my chest, only inches away from its target, my heart. Warm sticky liquid exits the wound and makes its way down, leaving a growing red spot on my white bustier. Then something stopped me. “You really didn’t think I would let you kill yourself, do you? Not when I finally have you all to myself.” Ares spoke. “Ares! No, let me go!”Ares hand covers mine, halting it so that it can move no further. My mind told me to scream and kick, but something else happened. It’s almost like a camera flash. I blinked, then standing before me is a solid black form. Scales so dark that it was almost like you
Chapter 83: NothingRyderWhere the hell am I? Not this again, damn it! It’s pitch black. This reminds me of when I fell from earth straight into hell, but this time, I know I am not alive. I have lost to… him. Raising my hands to look, I don’t see any wounds, I don’t feel any pain. Well… I do feel the pain in my chest that comes with the fact that I have let everyone down. I let Demi down. What’s happening on the surface right now? What is he doing to her? Are my parent’s dead? Drake… I watched his lifeless body disintegrate. He got blown away into the air. Luca… He, fuck! There’s no way he would have walked away from an attack on Ares. They were my best friends. Everyone has sacrificed so much for me. I’m useless.I drop to my knees and fisted my hair. Squeezing my eyes shut, all I see is her, my Demi. Hot liquid seeps from my eyes, and that’s when I realize that I am crying. A Lycan who cries, ha! I’m useless. So… damn, useless! “I… I love you Ryder. If we can’t be toget
Chapter 82: NumbRyderConsciousness evaded me. Every hit that landed on my head and face caused me to temporarily lose my eyesight. Black dots swirled and blurred my vision as I thought about what it was that I was doing. I can’t let this guy beat me. Not this time. He successfully tore me away from Demi once. It won’t happen again. Where’s my Lycan?Ahh there he is… I grinned as my teeth elongated, and my eyes shifted from crystal blue to amber with red swirls. A ferocious growl left my lips as my body continued to shape and morph. Ares attacks and blows, making everything a bit harder. My skin tore as fur sprouted to cover my entire body. I had huge paws for my back feet and humanoid hands. Surprisingly I can move just as easily in my Lycan form as I can in my humanoid form. “Your Lycan will do you no good here boy!” Ares continued. “Give up, Ryder. You are nothing.” Ares spoke and I laughed.Catching his fist in my hand, I stood in a flash and kicked his legs out from under him. H
Chapter 81: TerrifyingDemiMy heart was beating so hard. My eyes didn’t leave Ryder’s growing dragon frame as he flew closer, gaining speed with every massive thrust of his giant wings. I heard Drake’s body fall to the ground. I heard his heart stop pumping, but still, I didn’t look away. I didn’t want Ryder to be here. Though I knew he would come, the fear of something happening to him again creates a pain within me that could never be mirrored or overshadowed by anything else. The loss of Drake would linger forever. Sorrow was a heavy feeling, but there was another feeling in the atmosphere, bloodlust. It’s accompanied by a static energy fueled by not only Ares anger and aggression, but Ryder’s as well. Energy produced from this much anger and aggression has been building for years. This is the most dangerous energy there is. It can become its own kind of power. It brings the fight between Ryder’s parents and Hades to the front of my mind. The one where together they created the new
Chapter 80: Then There Was Nothing--Drake-- “Fuck! Demi no!” What the hell is she doing? There’s no way Demi can fight against this son of a bitch. He’s way stronger than I anticipated. They don’t call him the God of War for no reason. I am dead tired. I’m blaming it on being out of the game for twenty years or so. I can’t let my fatigue stop me. I have to keep pushing. I can’t let anything happen to Demi.I moved to place myself in front of her. She is a keres, but being a Demi god makes me faster. I angle my fist letting my demonic flames take over my entire form. Swinging I am confident that I am going to connect with Ares face, but I miss.“Damn it!” I growl out.I drop sliding on one knee and spin, only to be hit with an iron fist directly in my temple. My sight blurs, but I can’t stop now. This isn’t going to end well for me, but this is me making up for everything that I put Willow through. If I can hold this mother fucker off until Ryder gets here then maybe, just
Chapter 79: Been WaitingDemi No words come to mind that could help me describe the scene playing out before me. That’s Beta Tanner. I can tell by the distinct features of his wolf form. He’s a loved and adored member of the Harmony Moon pack. Ares has given up his disguise of Gavin and is finally showing his real face. He has Tanner pinned down, his foot crushing the massive wolf’s neck as he struggles to breath. His wolf form kicking and bending, desperate to get loose from Ares’ grip. It’s no use. He’s not strong enough. I can tell he has fought against the God hard. Many wolves would have perished way before now, but not this one. He will fight till the end and if I don’t do something, it’s sure to happen. Drake threw his arm out attempting to hold me back. I had forgotten that he had come here with me. “Demi, don’t. Let me!”Before I could protest, Drake’s body started to change. I have never seen his true demonic form before. He began to morph
