View MoreAVA’ POVThe air in the dining room was thick with tension, each breath I took feeling heavier than the last. I could sense the weight of all their eyes on me, each person around the table waiting for something—an answer, an explanation, or perhaps a decision. It wasn’t just any ordinary conversation. This was about my future, my past, my choices. And, I knew, it was about Derek and Seth.As the tension in the dining room thickened, I took a deep breath and met the expectant gazes of those seated around the long oak table. I straightened my posture, trying to keep my nerves at bay, and cleared my throat. “We need to be honest with you all,” I said, my voice surprising me with its steadiness.Derek sat beside me, his posture relaxed yet firm, his presence grounding me even as my pulse raced. He had always been my anchor, but tonight, it felt as if we were at the edge of a cliff, looking down at the unknown.Across from us sat Alpha Marcus and Luna Evelyn, their expressions ,their faces
“Excuse me,” I muttered, my voice clenched between my teeth. My heart pounded with an intensity that matched the heat rising in my chest. This wasn’t just some casual disruption in our lives. No, this was something far deeper, something more dangerous. I knew, in my gut, that if I didn’t get out of here now, if I didn’t take control of the situation—this situation—I would lose my mind. And maybe my life.The guy… he was gifted. I still didn’t know exactly what that meant, or how it worked, but the sharpness in my instincts told me he was dangerous. I had no idea how powerful he was, but from the way my wolf growled, I knew it wasn’t a threat to be taken lightly. And yet, I couldn’t shake the suffocating urge to confront him, to find out just how far I’d go to protect what was mine.“Mom,” I said, forcing the words past my gritted teeth. “I’ll be back for dinner. I just… I need to do something.” My voice faltered for a split second, betraying the chaos that whirled inside me.I glanced
DEREK The man’s head tilted as his sharp gaze traveled up toward me. His expression was calm, unreadable, but there was a spark in his eyes as if he were observing something he found... interesting. Then, with a faint smile, he shifted his attention to Ava, and that subtle smile grew warmer, more curious. My jaw clenched.Taking a step back, the man addressed me directly, his voice polite yet measured. “I’m guessing you’re the future Alpha we were coming to meet?”Every instinct in me wanted to snap, to remind him where he stood. Instead, my father’s pointed throat-clearing from behind me brought me back to focus. Begrudgingly, I replied, “That’s right.”The man introduced himself, extending a hand up to me since I still stood a step above him on the staircase. “My name is Seth. I’m the Alpha of my pack.”Ava squeezed past him on her way down the steps. I didn’t miss the way his eyes lingered on her, following her movements as though he couldn’t help himself. A low growl stirred in m
The tension in the air was palpable as Derek and I stood side by side in the pack house, both trying to remain calm, though I could feel the storm of emotions brewing beneath the surface. The alpha and his sister from the Lunaris Mystique pack had arrived, and with them came the knowledge that everything was about to change.We had decided to tell everyone the truth about us—the bond we shared that went beyond physical connection. Derek and I had been inseparable, our emotions intertwined in ways that felt both exhilarating and overwhelming. But with the Alpha and his sister from the Lunaris Mystique pack on their way, I couldn't help but feel that the storm was closing in.The moment they stepped through the door, the atmosphere in the room shifted. Seth, the Alpha of the Lunaris Mystique pack, entered with his sister, Vee, standing by his side. Their energy was magnetic. As soon as Vee caught Adrian’s gaze, something unspoken passed between them. Their eyes locked, and it was cle
AVA It was the day before the Alpha and his sister from the Lunaris Mystique pack were set to arrive. Tomorrow, Derek would claim his bonded mate, and our fleeting, fragile connection would be nothing but a memory.I woke up in the cave, the emptiness beside me a harsh reminder that he wasn’t there. Rubbing sleep from my eyes, I noticed movement outside. A wolf paced back and forth, its movements deliberate and vigilant, like it was on guard."Derek?" I called groggily, stepping toward the entrance. But as I approached, the wolf shifted, its fur receding to reveal a familiar figure. To my surprise, it wasn’t Derek—it was Adrian."Adrian?" I stammered, unsure of what to make of his presence."It’s okay, Ava," he said, his voice calm but firm. "Derek asked me to watch over you until he gets back.”I felt a rush of panic. "I… we were just…" I struggled to find the words, my mind racing."Having sex?" he interrupted with a smirk, laughing at my wide-eyed expression. "Relax. Derek told me
"Where have you been, Derek?" Adrian's voice broke the silence, his sharp gaze fixing on me. "I’ve barely seen you these past few days.”I hesitated for a moment, the half-truth already on the tip of my tongue. "I’ve been working on the building project—the new pack house for the increasing numbers in the pack," I said evenly. "And preparing for the arrival of the Alpha and his sister from the Lunaris Mystique pack." It wasn’t a lie, but it wasn’t the full truth either.The truth was, I had spent most of my time with Ava at the cave, a sanctuary I had made into something of a second home. After her daily shifts, we’d meet there under the cover of darkness, spending the night together. Those hours were our escape—a space where we could bond, talk, and let the tension between us unravel.If someone had told me before that I’d find solace with someone like Ava, I would have laughed. But she wasn’t like anyone else. Ava had a quiet strength about her, a resilience forged from years of b
AVAThe night air was cool, with the moon casting a silvery glow across the landscape, reflecting off the surface of the lake. As I made my way toward it, my thoughts wandered to everything that had happened between Derek and me. I couldn’t help but blush, remembering the way he had held me, kissed me, and said things I had never dared hope to hear.For the first time in my life, I felt like I was stepping into the light. The alpha’s offer to give me a job had been the best gift I could ever ask for. It wasn’t just about the task itself—it was about being seen, being heard. I had always hidden in the shadows, afraid of what others might think, ashamed of my twisted spine, my weakness. But now, I had a chance to be out in the world, to let people see me as I was, not as a fragile, broken thing to pity.It was liberating in a way I had never experienced before. Even my wolf seemed to rejoice in the freedom. She had always wanted to be out in the open, to run and feel the wind on her f
DEREK “Dad, a pack from the south contacted me yesterday,” I said as we sat in the pack office. My father, the Alpha, raised an eyebrow.“And what pack would that be?” he asked, leaning forward with curiosity.“Their name is Lunaris Mystique,” I replied, feeling a small thrill at even saying the name.His eyes flickered with recognition. “Lunaris Mystique?” He sat back in his chair. “I know of them. They’re a smaller pack, deeply secluded, but they’re not ordinary. They have a history of taking in magical wolves, those gifted with abilities, and grooming them to master their powers. Their stories have always been shrouded in mystery. For a long time, I thought they were nothing more than a myth.”“Apparently, they’re very real,” I replied. “An unknown number called me yesterday. They claimed to have heard I was searching for my mate. Before coming to you, I had the council investigate their claim. They confirmed the same—Lunaris Mystique is indeed a pack of supernatural wolves.”T
After Derek left the room, shutting the door behind him, I found myself lost in thought. The kiss had left me dazed, a whirlwind of emotions coursing through me. I was torn between the pain of his rejection and the undeniable pull of our bond. Before I could fully process my feelings, there was a knock at the door, and the Alpha—Derek’s father—walked in.The Alpha’s presence was commanding yet kind, his gaze soft as he looked at me . "Ava," he started, his deep voice laced with regret. "I owe you an apology.”I blinked in surprise. "An apology, Alpha?"He nodded, stepping further into the room. "I’ve failed you, and for that, I’m deeply sorry. I didn’t realize the extent of what you’ve been through—how much you’ve endured in silence, hiding for years. As Alpha, my role is to protect every member of this pack, and I failed to do that for you.”I looked down, my voice barely above a whisper. "You have a lot on your shoulders, Alpha. You’re not just the leader of the pack—you’re a fath
Derek Pov"Just ten weeks left until the ceremony, and then everything will be yours, brother," Adrian said as we ran through the mountains. From the right spot, the entire pack's land unfolds before your eyes like a vast, living map. I smirked, glancing over the expansive land below.Our pack held one of the largest territories, a testament to its strength. This was what I had been trained for all my life, shaped to lead. My parents were unmatched, the strongest Alpha pair in our history. For years, my parents had ruled with an iron fist, their strength unchallenged and their leadership unquestioned. No one dared to defy them, and any threat that dared approach was swiftly eliminated. They were untouchable, legends in their own right.But now, everything is changing. My power had grown, and the pack couldn’t help but notice. Whispers spread like wildfire. When a new strength rises, the pack naturally gravitates toward it. It wasn’t about disrespecting my father or forgetting all h...
