"Alpha Trey!" A voice rings downstairs. "We're under attack," the voice shouts. "Please send help immediately. Pack members have been injured."

My heart drops as I hear those words. I rush downstairs to see what's happening. Alpha Trey stands on the front porch looking concerned.

"Go inside, Alyssa," he instructs me quietly. "The Moon Creek pack is coming for us. Go get dressed."

Panic grips me as I stare at the bloodstains covering the ground outside. "No," I whisper.

"Go get Adam," Alpha Trey says calmly.

"But-"

"Do exactly as I tell you, Alyssa. Please. Do not argue with me."

His tone leaves little room for argument. I nod, heading towards Adam's room. I knock on the door but there's no answer. I open the door slowly, hoping to find him asleep. He's not in his bed but the sound of water running fills the air. I step into the bathroom and see Adam standing under the shower, his perfect body glistening wet. His muscles ripple beneath his skin, making me want to touch every inc

    AdamI turn my head only to see my father lying flat on the ground. His body is covered in blood and he does not breathe. Alyssa is there next to him, holding his hand tightly."Father..." I call out to him, feeling helpless. He has been taken from us. I hurry to get to him but am blocked by several wolves. They are surrounding us and closing in fast. One of the wolves lunges forward, aiming to bite my leg. The others leap on me and try to pull me down. I aim for their throat and sink my teeth into their neck. Instantly, they release me and begin thrashing wildly. Their bodies hit the ground, lifeless."Adam!" Alyssa screams, seeing me being attacked.She rushes to my aid and manages to push past the wolves who had surrounded me. We run to Father together and crouch down beside him."Father, please wake up," I plead desperately, shaking his shoulder frantically.His breathing is absent. "Please... don't leave me alone," I whisper to myself as tears stream down my cheeks uncontrollably

    AlyssaI can't sleep. I keep thinking of Alpha Trey and the attack of the Moon Creek pack. The thought of losing him makes my heart ache. I miss him so badly, I feel hollow and broken inside. His absence leaves such a void in my soul, it hurts to breathe. It triggers memories of losing my own family. Yet there's no way I can allow myself to succumb to grief. I have to be strong for Adam. I need to be there for him. I promised him I'd protect him and won't break that promise. No matter what happens or how hard things get, I will never abandon Adam again.I hear movement outside the room, and when I open my eyes, Adam stands beside the bed looking down at me. He smiles softly, and I smile back. I reach out and grab hold of his shirt."Hey, Adam," I whisper into the darkness. "How are you doing?"His arms wrap around my waist. "Better now."My body relaxes against his. "Me, too. I was worried sick about you.""You didn't need to worry. I'm fine." He kisses my forehead and then moves ont

    AdamAll the pack members have gathered to pay their respects to their Alpha. I stand next to my father's coffin waiting for everyone to say their goodbyes. Alyssa is next to me, my mother on the other side. There are so many people here. Alpha Trey was loved by all of us; it's hard to believe he's gone. My mother grips my hand tightly; she's crying quietly, but not letting go of my hand, which is a comfort to me in a way I don't understand."Thank you all for coming here today," I say in a low voice so only those gathered can hear it "My father was a strong leader for us all for many years." Everyone nods their heads but no one speaks, so I continue "He worked endlessly protecting those who could not defend themselves." We've been hearing stories about what he's done for years now but never really talked about it much in front of the pack members; we've never celebrated what he did for us but merely mourned his loss when it happened." There is a moment of silence in the room before I

    Alyssa"Morning," Adam says as he steps into the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee. He's wearing a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt as he heads over to the coffee pot. "I was thinking about getting up an hour ago but I couldn't seem to find the motivation," he says with a cheeky smile while pouring himself a cup of coffee before sitting down at the table across from me "Didn't sleep too well last night," he adds after taking a sip "Did you?""Yes, I woke up about an hour ago and couldn't get back to sleep so I got up instead," I reply looking down at my cup of coffee as I take a sip "I'm not sure why though; I'm not usually one for waking up early in the morning."Adam chuckles as he takes another sip of his coffee "So, do you have any plans for today?" he asks holding his cup in his hands."Not really, just helping myself to some fresh air around the house. I guess I just need to clear my mind. How about you?""Well, I'm gonna meet my buddies in town, so I guess I'll see you later." He

    Alyssa"Let me go, damn you," I scream, pulling on the chains to break free.He chuckles evilly looking down at me. "If I wanted to kill you right now, you wouldn't have a chance to run away," he says."Oh really?" I snarl. "Why don't you just do it? You can't, can you? You don't even have the guts to show your face.""How dare you speak to me like that!" He roars throwing himself on top of me. His hands grip my throat choking me. Tears stream down my cheeks as I try desperately to pull myself out of his grasp. He pulls tighter until my vision blurs. I feel like I'm going to die. But then he releases me suddenly standing up straight."Do you know where you are?" he asks calmly.I shake my head unable to form words. All I can focus on is the pain radiating through my neck and shoulders from his chokehold. "Please, let me go.""Not yet," he snaps. He removes his mask, showing his face to me."Who are you," I whisper.He smirks, running his hand over his black beard stubble. "My name is

    Adam"Alyssa," I call, knocking on her bedroom door. There's no answer. I open the door and step inside looking for her. Her scent is weak, which tells me she hasn't been here in a while. I go downstairs to check the kitchen and I find Alice sitting at the table eating lunch alone."Alice," I say walking closer to her."Hi Adam," she says smiling warmly."Is Alyssa home?" I ask worried."No, she left earlier today saying she needs some fresh air," she sighs shaking her head sadly."Do you know where she went?""Yeah," she nods. "I think she was heading outside.""Thanks, Alice."I step outside trying to follow her scent. It leads me to the woods. But there's another scent. A male's scent. I recognize the scent as someone from the Moon Creek pack. Something must have happened to her. My heart drops as bad thoughts start going through my mind. What if she had gotten attacked again or worse? I run quickly towards the pack house and burst inside."What's wrong?" mother asks running up beh

    Alyssa"Get me out of here," I shout, hitting the door with my hands. "Open up! Please just fucking open the damn door!"How could this happen to me? How did he find me? Why would they hurt me? I thought I was safe here. I didn't think anyone knew who I really am."Please…" I beg."Calm down, little one," Tobias says as he opens the door. His eyes glow red when he looks at me. Why are you fighting it? you're home now. Adam doesn't love you and he never did. You belong with me and the Moon Creek pack now.My heart sinks hearing him say those words. Tears fill my eyes, and I sob uncontrollably falling to the floor crying. Tobias picks me up cradling me in his arms. I push him away and try to run past him."No," he scolds. "Not until you calm yourself.""Why do you want me so much? What does it matter what happens to me?" I cry.Tobias turns around walking towards the bedroom. He sits down on the bed next to me."Because you are mine and always have been since the moment I laid eyes upon

    AdamMy beta and other members have gathered at the pack house to help me find Alyssa. We've scoured all the surrounding areas, but no sign of her has turned up. Our search has taken longer than expected, which worries me."I still believe she ran off on purpose," Marcus tells me worried."No way. She wouldn't do that. I think she was kidnapped by the Moon Creek pack," I say.Marcus frowns. "They'd kill her if they got their hands on her. Do you honestly think she could survive that?""We have to keep searching," I insist. "If we don't find her soon, things are going to start getting ugly.""Do you think she's dead?" Darius asks. "There hasn't been any trace of her anywhere.""No, I don't believe that either," I answer. "I can feel it in me she's still alive. She's too valuable for them to kill her. Besides, they couldn't hide her scent from our noses."Darius nods looking relieved. "Well, we should split up then to cover more ground.""Good idea," I reply."Let's just hope this isn't

    AriaThey roll across the forest floor in a blur of motion, claws and teeth flashing in the dappled sunlight. Blood spatters the leaves, the coppery scent of it thick and cloying in the air.I know I should do something, should throw myself between them and put an end to this madness before one of them winds up dead. But I can't seem to make myself move, can't seem to do anything but watch in mute horror as the two males I love most in this world try to tear each other apart.It's Callum who falters first, his weakened body no match for Elijah's savage strength. He stumbles, his flank laid open by a vicious swipe of claws, and Elijah presses his advantage with a snarl of triumph.And then his jaws are closing around Callum's throat, and the world seems to freeze in a single, crystalline moment of perfect, terrible clarity.I know in that instant that I am about to watch the father of my child die. That I am about to lose him forever, just when I had finally begun to hope that we might

    Adam I bolt awake, heart pounding. Alyssa's screams and Sophia's cries echo in my head. I swipe a hand across my damp forehead, breathing hard. Just a nightmare. But it felt so real. My wolf strains against its cage, howling to go to them. I know they need me. I stumble out of the nest into the cool night air. The stars shine down, distant and uncaring. How did I let this happen? I promised to protect them, to keep them safe. But I left them alone, at the mercy of the threat I should've ended. Alyssa. Her fear reached out in my dreams, begging for help. But I'm too late. My rival won; he has her trapped, waiting to finish this. I abandoned her to that fate. I abandoned my heart. And Sophia. My little light, my joy. She cries for her mother, afraid and alone.

    AlyssaDuran corners me as I gather herbs, lust, and fury warring in his eyes. My pulse quickens. "Alyssa, stop these games. You will be my mate."I square my shoulders, meeting his predatory gaze. "I follow my duty to your pack, but my heart belongs to another. I cannot be your mate, Duran."He moves closer, crowding me against the rock face. "You forget your place, little healer. I am Alpha here, and I will not be denied what I desire."The darkness radiating from him overwhelms my senses. My gift shrieks a warning of the evil now awakened and poised to descend. I have pushed him too far.Duran grabs my chin, forcing me to look at him. "You will come to care for me in time. I can be patient when I wish. But do not forget who rules this pack, and what I want, I shall have."His fingers leave bruises on my skin. I wrench away, stumbling down the path. His bellow follows, "You cannot escape me forever, Alyssa! I will make you mine!"I run as if the hounds of hell snap at my heels throu

    AdamThe forest blurs around me as I race between the trees, my paws pounding the earth. My heart thunders in my chest, refusing to accept what my senses tell me - they are gone. Vanished like the morning mist under the glare of the rising sun. I stop, throwing back my head to howl in rage and grief, the sorrowful sound echoing through the empty woods.I continue searching. Exhaustion drags at my limbs, but still, I hunt for any sign to cling to hope. Their scent has disappeared, erased as though they were never here. I stumble on through the black of night, guided only by the light of the moon overhead.Finally, I return home as the pale glow of dawn brightens the sky. The pack emerges from their dens, wary of my approach. I shift back, standing before them with my shoulders bowed under the weight of failure. Murmurs rise around me as they take in my disheveled, haggard appearance. Their Alpha, broken and aimless without his mate and child. Helpless to protect them. Useless to lead a

    Alyssa Duran's invitation for dinner fills me with anxiety. As the Alpha, I can't say no, but his feelings for me create expectations I can't meet. The day passes too quickly. When night falls, I go to Duran's cabin, bracing myself for the evening to come. Duran greets me with a warm smile. "Welcome. I'm glad you could come." "Thank you for inviting me, Alpha." The proper response, hiding my inner turmoil. Duran's eyes gleam as he shows me inside, and my pulse jumps. The table is covered with a delicious spread. I take small bites, my appetite ruined by the unspoken question hanging between us. Duran watches me over his wine glass, patient but unwavering in his silent demand. "Your healing skills are invaluable. My pack has benefited greatly since you joined us. I feel...very fortunate you found shelter here after your mate's death." A calculated mention, trying to get a reaction. I chew slowly, my mind racing, before offering a tight smile. "You are too kind to help us in our ti

    Alyssa The forest blurs around me as I run, clutching Sophia's hand tightly in mine. My legs burn but I don't slow. We have to get away. Far away. Sophia's steps falter. "Mama, wait, please. I can't run anymore." I stop and kneel before her, brushing leaves from her hair. "I know, sweetheart. I'm sorry. Just a little farther, OK?" Sophia nods bravely but when I stand, her ankle gives out beneath her. She cries out as she tumbles to the ground. "Sophia!" My heart drops as I scoop her into my arms. She whimpers, tears streaming down her face as she holds her ankle. No, not now. We have to keep going. I carry Sophia over to a large oak tree and set her down in the roots. "Let me see." Gently, I remove her shoe and sock. Her ankle is already swollen, the delicate joint red and puffy. No doubt it's sprained. Sophia sniffles. "It hurts, Mama." "I know, baby." I stroke her hair and kiss her forehead, panic rising in my chest. We're exposed here. Vulnerable. "Let me wrap it. We'll get

    AlyssaThe wolf prowling towards me is a stranger. Adam's eyes, once glowing with warmth and laughter, now burn with rage and suspicion. His hackles rise and a sinister growl rumbles in his chest as he backs me into a corner, teeth bared."How long have you been plotting against me?" he snarls. Gone is the mate I love, replaced by this menacing beast I do not know."Adam, it's me," I plead, keeping my tone soft and submissive. But my words do not reach him. The Adam I knew is trapped behind those hate-filled eyes."Lies!" He snaps at me, his muzzle a breath from my throat. "I should have known you could never be trusted. You're in league with our enemies, aren't you?"Confusion and pain flood me. "I would never betray you! I am your mate. Don't you know me?""I know what you are." Adam's lips curl back further, slaver dripping from his fangs. "And you will never set foot in my territory again."He lunges. I brace myself, ready to fight the creature wearing my mate's flesh.
