Emma sat on the edge of her bed, gripping the sheets so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Her mind was spinning, her chest feeling heavier with every breath she took.Caleb was dead.She had overheard the guards whispering about it outside her room. The news had hit her like a punch in the stomach. He had been alive yesterday, angry and desperate to escape, and now… just gone.Her hands trembled as she clutched the pillow in her lap.Her heart pounded.Her thoughts screamed at her, telling her something wasn’t right.Ryker.It had to be Ryker.Caleb had warned her. He had told her that Ryker was dangerous, that he had blood on his hands. And now, just like that, Caleb was dead? The timing was too perfect, too calculated.Emma's throat tightened as she recalled Caleb’s words."He killed Claire. And you think he won’t do the same to me? Or to you?"Her breath hitched. Has Ryker really killed Claire?She had never questioned it before. No one spoke about Claire’s death much, only t
The car was silent except for Emma’s uneven breathing. Ryker had carried her inside, shutting the door and pulling the curtains closed, blocking out the outside world.She sat stiffly on the leather seat, her heart hammering in her chest. She had never been alone with him like this before, not in such an enclosed space, not with the tension so thick it was almost suffocating.Ryker leaned against the door, watching her closely. His dark eyes flickered with something she couldn’t quite understand, something intense that made her stomach twist.Emma didn’t care about anything else right now. Not her doubts, not her fears. The only thing she knew was that she couldn’t bear to see Ryker like this broken, lost, hurting.She swallowed hard. “I don’t like seeing you like this.”His brows pulled together slightly. “Like what?”“Weak.” The word came out in a whisper, and she immediately regretted it.Ryker let out a rough chuckle, but there was no humor in it. “Weak? Do I look weak to you, Lit
The moment Emma stepped into the university hall, an unsettling feeling settled in her chest. The place was decorated with roses, candles, and a massive banner with her name on it. Students gathered around, whispering excitedly, their eyes darting between her and the person standing at the center of the arrangement.Jordan.Dressed in a neatly pressed suit, he stood confidently, holding a small velvet box. His smile was bright, his eyes hopeful, as if he was sure of the answer before even asking the question.Emma’s stomach twisted. She didn’t need to hear the words. She already knew what was about to happen.Panic crept into her mind, her hands growing cold. She wasn’t expecting this. She wasn’t prepared.Jordan took a step closer, speaking loud enough for the entire hall to hear. “Emma, I know this might be sudden, but I wanted to do something special for you.” His voice was steady, filled with confidence. “I’ve liked you for a long time, and today, I want to ask you something impor
The next morning, the campus was buzzing with tension. It wasn’t just any day, it was exam day. Students rushed through the hallways, flipping through notes, muttering formulas under their breath, and trying to cram in last-minute revisions. The air was thick with anxiety, but for Emma, it wasn’t just the exam that made her stomach churn.It was Ryker.She hadn't seen him since last night. The intensity of their last interaction still lingered in her mind, the heat of his words, the way his possessive gaze had locked onto hers. He had kissed her, claimed her, and now she was supposed to act like nothing had happened?Shaking off the thoughts, she focused on the piece of paper clenched in her hands, her math revision notes. Out of all the exams, today was the one she dreaded the most. Math had never been her strong suit, and despite studying for weeks, she still felt unprepared.Taking a deep breath, she walked toward the examination hall. But before she could enter, she heard whispers
David paced back and forth in his office, his jaw clenched as he processed Ryker’s words. The tension in the air was thick, crackling like a brewing storm.“You’re kidding, right?” David finally scoffed, crossing his arms. His eyes, identical to Emma’s, burned with disbelief. “You’re telling me that you’re going to marry my sister just like that? No discussion, no warning, just boom, Ryker decides, and we all have to fall in line?”Ryker leaned back in his chair, completely unbothered by David’s anger. A slow smirk played on his lips as he folded his hands over his chest. “That’s right.” His voice was calm, but there was an unmistakable finality to it.David let out a humorless laugh, shaking his head. “You’ve lost your damn mind.”Ryker’s smirk disappeared in an instant, his eyes darkening. “Watch it, David.”“Oh, watch it? No, you watch it, Ryker! You can’t just claim my sister like she’s…”“I can. And I did.” Ryker cut him off, his tone cold, unwavering. “Emma is mine, and she will
(Ryker’s POV)The grand ballroom was bathed in golden light, shimmering chandeliers casting a soft glow over the elegantly dressed guests. The air smelled of roses and expensive champagne, the murmurs of conversation blending with the soft melody of a live orchestra. Everything was set perfectly because tonight, Emma would have no choice but to accept what I’d already decided.She was mine. And now, the world would know.I stood at the entrance of the hall, dressed in a sharp black three-piece suit, the fabric hugging my body just right. The Rolex on my wrist gleamed under the light, but it wasn’t the expensive watch that held my attention, it was her.Emma.She stood near the entrance, her delicate figure wrapped in a flowing midnight-blue gown. The silky material clung to her curves before cascading in soft waves down to the floor. A diamond-studded belt cinched her waist, accentuating her perfect shape. Her long brown hair was styled into loose waves, a few strands falling over he
(Emma’s POV)The morning sunlight streamed through the curtains, casting a warm glow over my room. I groaned, rolling onto my side, when something cold brushed against my cheek.I blinked, still groggy, and slowly lifted my hand. My heart skipped a beat. The ring.The memories from last night came rushing back Ryker standing in front of everyone, slipping the ring onto my finger as if I were already his, the sound of applause echoing through the hall. I sat up abruptly, gripping the blanket. How did my life change overnight?I stared at the diamond, twisting it around my finger as if it might magically disappear. Nope. Still there. Still real.Taking a deep breath, I pushed off the covers and padded toward the kitchen, still in my oversized t-shirt and shorts. As soon as I entered, I froze.David was already there, leaning against the counter, arms crossed over his chest. His gaze flicked to my hand, and his expression darkened.“So, my little sister is engaged to Ryker Knight now?” H
Emma’s POVAfter breakfast, Ryker dragged me not literally, but close enough to the most luxurious shopping mall I had ever seen.I stood frozen at the entrance, my jaw practically on the floor. Everything screamed money. From the shimmering chandeliers to the polished marble floors, this was a place where people like me didn’t belong.“I…I don’t need shopping,” I stammered, looking up at him. “Really, I have clothes.”Ryker barely glanced at me as he tugged me inside. “Not the right ones.”I narrowed my eyes. “What does that mean?”He smirked. “You’ll see.”Great. That wasn’t ominous at all.I crossed my arms, but before I could argue further, Ryker suddenly reached out….And pulled the rubber band from my hair.My curls tumbled down wildly, cascading over my shoulders.I gasped. “Ryker!”He twirled the band around his fingers lazily, his gaze dark and unreadable. “Never tie your hair in front of me.”I blinked. “Huh?”His eyes locked onto mine, his voice dropping into something almo
THE END The night was calm, the stars stretching across the sky like tiny silver flames, watching over the world in silent approval. The war was over. The battles, the bloodshed, and the pain were all in the past now. What remained was a future built on love, trust, and unity. Mia stood on the grand balcony of the royal palace, looking over the vast lands that now belonged to her and her mates. The werewolf world had finally found peace. Ryker was defeated, his dark reign nothing more than a distant memory. The truth of his lineage had been revealed he was Lord Victor’s illegitimate son, hidden away in the shadows for years. But unlike Victor, Ryker had chosen the path of destruction, and that path had led to his downfall. Now, as the dust settled, Ryker stood before Lord Victor, holding his newborn daughter in his arms. Emma stood beside him, her gaze soft yet firm, her heart full of hope for a new beginning. Ryker was no longer the ruthless man who had once sought pow
( NOTE: 18+ Ahead read at your own risk) My breasts throbbed and so did my insides as he rammed deeper and deeper regardless of how many times he had come inside me. I had lost count. Punishing me for something he himself couldn't understand. I begged. Pleaded. But it didn't matter. His hands gripped my waist, pulling me closer with every thrust, until I thought I might break.It was relentless. Bruising. He had no mercy, no restraint. He wanted to take it. And I let him. Cause that's all a vulnerable woman like me could do. The bed creaked beneath us, but it wasn't enough. His rage spilled out. We crashed onto the floor, then the couch, until I was pressed against the cold glass of the window. My skin seared from the icy touch of the pane. Yet he only pressed harder.Pain is the price of betrayal, they say.And I was paying in full.There was no escape. His punishment was for both of us. Every thrust, every bruise, his wrath, his desire.The harder he went, the more his control s
( Note : 18+ ahead read at your own risk ) “ Liam," Mia screamed with a flushed face as he widened her thighs and placed his face between her legs. Matthew gasped in surprise as Liam's tongue boldly slid between her lips, starting from the bottom and licking its way up to a small nub at the top. "You enjoy that, don't you,Mia," Liam moaned, firmly grasping her thighs. "You taste just as sweet as I dreamed about you ." Said Matthew breathed heavily, Mia's chest rising and falling rapidly in anxious breaths as Liam once again moved his tongue between her honeypot before gently sucking her clit into his mouth. "You taste sooo mia, I want to fuck you so damn hard," Liam growled. He wrapped his arms around her shivering thighs and pressed his face against her G-spot. Mia struggled to find something to hold onto, desperately. However, Matthew held her tightly, caressing her breasts and nibbling on her neck, marking his dominance. His thumb gently brushed against the stomach, cruel. She
The journey back to Victor’s villa was silent, heavy with exhaustion and unspoken emotions. The battle was over, but the scars it left both physical and emotional would take much longer to heal.As soon as they arrived, Sarah rushed out of the villa, her face pale with worry. Her eyes frantically scanned the group, pausing when she saw Mia’s weakened state.“Mia!” she gasped, running to her. Her hands trembled as she cupped Mia’s face, her eyes filling with tears.Mia, still weak, managed a small smile. “Mom…”Sarah pulled her into a tight hug, her body shaking. “I was so scared, my child. You….” Her voice broke. “You almost…”“I’m okay,” Mia whispered, though her body said otherwise.Sarah wasn’t convinced. Her gaze fell on Emma, and suddenly, she stiffened.Emma’s bracelet.Sarah reached for Emma’s hand, her fingers brushing over the bracelet. A sharp gasp escaped her lips.“Dear,” Sarah whispered, her eyes wide with realization. “Never remove this bracelet.” Her hand moved to Emma’
Ryker staggered through the hospital doors, his body trembling with exhaustion. Blood dripped from his shoulder, soaking through his torn shirt, but he barely noticed the pain. His eyes searched the room desperately …..Emma.And then he saw her.Emma lay on the hospital bed, her pale face turning toward him. Relief flooded her features, but it was nothing compared to the sheer devotion and longing in Ryker’s eyes. Without a word, he moved forward, his legs weak but determined.“Emma…” His voice was rough, raw from battle.She gasped softly, tears spilling over as she tried to sit up. “Ryker…”He collapsed onto his knees beside the bed, his head dropping against her stomach. His arms wrapped around her, holding her as if she might disappear. Emma’s fingers tangled in his blood-matted hair, trembling as she pressed a kiss to his forehead.“I thought I lost you,” Ryker murmured, his voice thick with emotion.Emma cupped his face, her thumb brushing against the bruises on his cheek. “You
The battlefield was chaos, blood, growls, and the clash of fangs and claws filled the air. The stench of death mixed with the metallic tang of blood as bodies fell one after another.Ryker, Liam, and Matthew stood at the center, their bodies drenched in sweat and blood, yet their energy was far from drained. The vampires surrounding them were fast and ruthless, but they were no match for three enraged Alphas.A blood-curdling howl escaped Liam’s throat as he shifted into his massive black wolf, his fur bristling with raw power. Without hesitation, he lunged at the nearest vampire, his jaws locking around its throat. The creature screamed, its skin burning under Liam’s lethal bite before turning to ash.Matthew followed suit, his enormous grey wolf slamming into a group of vampires, sending them flying. He clawed through them mercilessly, his silver eyes glowing in the dark. One vampire tried to escape, but Matthew was faster. He caught it mid-air, crushing its skull with his powerful
The battlefield was drenched in blood, the scent of war thick in the air. Ryker fought like a beast unleashed, his claws slashing through enemies without hesitation. Every strike sent vampires flying, their bodies crumbling under his raw power. His eyes glowed with rage, his wolf pushing for control as he tore through the army that dared to invade his land.Liam, Matthew moved in perfect sync, their brother bond stronger than ever. Matthew’s swift agility allowed him to dodge and counter before his enemies could blink. Liam’s brute strength made each attack lethal, Charles' sharp instincts ensured no vampire got too close. Aiden, however, fought with fury unlike before his movements driven by an emotion he refused to name.Matthew was a force of nature, his claws drenched in blood as he ripped through vampires like they were nothing. His deep growl sent shivers down the spines of their enemies. "You dare challenge an Alpha in his domain?" he roared, snapping the neck of the last fooli
The battlefield roared with chaos, the air thick with the scent of blood and burning flesh. The war had reached its peak, and Ryker stood at the heart of it, his eyes locked onto Lucian, the vampire prince who had planned this bloodshed war. The two powerful Alphas, one of the wolves and one of the vampires, stood face to face, their hatred for each other burning hotter than the flames consuming the pack lands.Lucian smirked, his crimson eyes glowing under the blood moon. "Look at you, Alpha Ryker. Desperate. Weak. Losing everything you've sworn to protect."Ryker clenched his fists, his claws elongating. "You think this is over, Lucian? You think I'll let you walk away after what you've done?"Lucian let out a dark chuckle. "Oh, but I’m not walking away. I’m here to end you. And once you’re gone, Emma will be mine. Your precious Luna, the mother of your heir, she's already half mine. The dark magic is working its way through her veins as we speak. She will submit, Ryker. Just like y
Lucian stood in the center of his dimly lit chamber, his crimson eyes fixed on the image of Emma writhing in pain within the magical orb. A twisted smirk played on his lips. He had spent years planning this, waiting for the perfect moment to strike at Ryker’s heart, and now it was within his grasp. With every drop of black magic seeping into Emma’s soul, she was slipping further into his hold.“The process is nearly complete,” the Witch Queen murmured, her voice like silk laced with venom. She stood over a large, ancient tome, her fingers dancing over the pages as she chanted in the forbidden tongue. Dark energy swirled around her, feeding off the torches that lined the walls.Lucian turned to her, his voice cold as ice. “Finish it before I return. I want her fully under my control before Ryker has the chance to interfere.”The Witch Queen’s eyes gleamed with amusement as she met his gaze. “You underestimate the bond between mates, Lucian. Even in pain, even when she’s on the brink of
