FORSAKEN BY FATE : EMBRACE BY WOLVES Chapter 30: Beneath the Mask of Power
MADDOX The grand hall felt like a tomb, cold and oppressive, its stone walls echoing with the hollow sound of my boots as I entered. The air smelled of damp earth and aged wood—a scent that clung to the halls of this castle as much as the legacy of my rule. Raiden trailed behind me, silent, his presence grating on my nerves like the sharp edge of a blade. I had done my best to ignore his existence for most of his life, but today, he was impossible to overlook. The moment Kade left, I had been simmering, my rage building to a slow, unstoppable boil. My son—the failure—had once again proven that he was unworthy of the blood in his veins.Raiden.The name tasted bitter even in my thoughts.I stopped abruptly, turning to face him. He stood a few feet away, his head bowed, a picture of cowardice. His very posture enraged me. “Do you have any idea what you’ve done?” My voice was low, sharp enough to cut.Raiden raised his head slightly, his blue eyes full of guilt and fear. “Father, I—”“

LIANA The heat of his hand on my wrist burned through my skin, sending jolts of electricity up my arm. My pulse betrayed me, hammering wildly beneath his thumb as if begging him to come closer. I Stared at him, unable to look away from his eyes, which had softened in a way I’d never seen before, their usual hardness replaced by something… vulnerable. My breath hitched, caught somewhere between his words and the space that was no longer a space between us. His face was so close, his warm breath brushing against my lips. My heart raced, each beat louder than the last, pounding so fiercely I thought it might break free from my chest. I didn’t move. I couldn’t. The air around us seemed to thicken, pulling us closer like an invisible force neither of us had the strength to fight. And then, with a slow inevitability, his hand slid from my wrist to my face, his thumb brushing my cheek. “Reed,” I whispered, my voice trembling with an emotion I couldn’t name. It was as if that one wo

REED The slam of the door echoed in my ears as I stormed down the hall, away from her, away from the fragile mess I’d just left behind. My pulse was hammering so loudly I could barely hear my own thoughts. But it wasn’t the sound of my boots against the stone floor, or the distant wind whistling through the castle’s towers, that haunted me.It was her. The way Liana had looked at me—broken, confused, shattered. I’d seen the tears well up in her eyes, had felt the tremble in her voice when she whispered my name. And then I’d walked away.I clenched my fists, nails digging into my palms as I tried to shove the image from my mind. It shouldn’t have bothered me. I’d done what needed to be done. I was an Alpha. She wasn’t my responsibility in that way. I’d been clear with her—cruel, maybe, but clear.So why did it feel like I’d just ripped out my own damn heart?I reached the end of the hall and leaned against the wall, letting my head fall back with a dull thud. The cool stone was groun

SERAPHINEThe room was silent except for the soft crackle of the fireplace. I sat by the flames, cradling my ribs, feeling the sharp sting of every shallow breath. My body ached, bruises blooming across my skin like cruel reminders of Maddox’s fury. My mind, however, hurt more than my flesh.The girl.The moment I saw her from the pictures, I couldn’t breathe. She was like a mirror to a past I had tried so hard to bury, and now, here she was—older, stronger, and yet, somehow, unmistakably… her.I sucked in a shaky breath and winced, the pain in my chest a brutal warning not to breathe too deeply. My hands trembled as I pressed the damp cloth against the gash on my arm. The firelight danced against the walls, casting shadows that seemed to mock me.Could it really be her? Couldn’t it be my daughter?I shook my head, trying to dispel the thought, but it clung to me like a stubborn thorn. It wasn’t a coincidence. It couldn’t be. That girl showing up at the border—at our border—looking li

MALCOLM POVLiana’s trembling form nestled against Reed’s chest, her face buried in the crook of his shoulder as he whispered soothing words into her ear. Her fragile sobs were muffled, but I could feel the ripple of unease in the room. The girl had been through hell—and she wasn’t the only one.I leaned against the fireplace, my arms crossed tightly as I watched Reed brush his lips over her hair, his movements gentle and protective. It was hard to tell who he was trying to comfort more—her or himself.“Someone needs to check outside,” Callum murmured, his voice low but edged with tension. He hovered near the window, his sharp gaze flicking between the shadows beyond the glass and the huddle of bodies in the room.“I’ll do it,” Asher volunteered, his tone firm. He moved swiftly toward the door, his hand brushing the hilt of the knife strapped to his belt. The quiet determination in his stride reminded me of our father—the unshakable resolve to act, no matter the danger.Callum stood t

REED POVLiana clung to me as I carried her up the stairs leaving Malcolm and my brothers behind, her small hands clutching the fabric of my shirt like I was her last tether to safety. Her breaths were shallow, and every now and then, I felt the tremor that shook her slight frame. My wolf stirred uneasily, pacing inside me as though it could sense the vulnerability radiating from her.“It’s okay,” I murmured, glancing down at her. She didn’t look up, her face pressed into my chest, but her fingers gripped me tighter. “No one’s going to hurt you. I promise.”The words sounded hollow even to my ears. I hated how fragile she seemed, hated that she was terrified to the point of trembling. She was supposed to feel safe with us—with me.When we reached her room, I nudged the door open with my foot and stepped inside. The moonlight spilling through the curtains illuminated the small, cozy space. I set her down gently on the bed, but the moment I tried to pull away, her hands tightened their

MADDOX POVThe grand hall reeked of fear. The scent rolled off my lieutenants in waves, tangling with the crisp morning air that streamed in through the high arched windows. Their gazes were downcast, their breaths shallow, their hands twitching as though bracing for impact.Good.I strode toward the head of the long obsidian table, my boots echoing against the polished marble floor. The sharp click of my steps seemed to cut through the silence, each sound a reminder of my presence. They knew better than to meet my eyes, but that didn’t stop me from glaring at each one of them as I passed.Cowards. Every last one of them.When I reached the head of the table, I stopped, slamming a photograph down on its cold surface. The sharp sound reverberated through the room, making several of them flinch. “Look at her,” I growled, my voice low but venomous.No one moved. Their hesitation grated on my nerves. My wolf stirred restlessly, its irritation mirroring my own. “I said look at her!” I sn

LIANAThe first light of dawn slipped through the heavy curtains, streaking the room in muted gold. I stirred awake, stretching lazily before turning to the other side of the bed. Reed’s side. Empty.The faintest frown tugged at my lips as I stared at the crumbled sheets where he should have been. My thoughts wandered as I dragged myself out of bed, my feet meeting the cool wooden floor. He hadn’t come to the bed until late, that much I knew. And now he was already gone?The house was alive with movement. I could hear muffled voices, the occasional thud of a box being carried, and Malcolm barking orders down the hallway. It was a busy morning—relocating was never simple.I rubbed the sleep from my eyes, slipped on a sweater, and padded down the hall. When I entered the living room, Callum and Asher were busy hauling a stack of duffel bags toward the front door. Malcolm stood by, giving his usual gruff commentary.Reed stood by the window, his frame stiff, his hands shoved into the po

FORSAKEN BY FATE : EMBRACE BY WOLVES Chapter 63: Love Making
LIANA’S POVI leaned forward, brushing my lips lightly against his jawline, my hands slipping his shirt from his shoulders, leaving him bare under my gaze. His broad shoulders, his tattoos, the way he looked like a demigod underneath the dim light—damn he’s the real definition of a beautiful, sexy man. His hands went straight to his pants as he began to unbuckle his belt, after which he started pulling off his pants revealing his dick, it was huge—huge, fat and long. I wondered how it would fit inside of my very tight vagina. He couldn’t resist any longer. Sliding his hand to the back of my neck, he pulled me in for a kiss—deep and consuming, more intense than the last. My lips molded perfectly to his, my soft sighs fanning against his mouth.His hands moved instinctively, trailing down my back to the clasp of my bra. With a swift motion, he unhooked it, freeing my boobs. I pulled back slightly, my eyes locked onto his, daring and inviting all at once. I smirked as I laid down on
FORSAKEN BY FATE : EMBRACE BY WOLVES Chapter 62: First Flames
REED’S POV“Yes,” she whispered, her voice so soft it was almost lost to the sound of the rain tapping against the window. “It’s going to be my first time.”I froze, her words striking me harder than anything ever had before. My chest tightened as I stared at her—this delicate, beautiful woman standing so close, her wide, innocent eyes looking up at me like I was her whole world.“You’re serious?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, a mixture of disbelief and awe slipping through. She nodded, her cheeks flushing a deep shade of red.My hand ran through my hair in frustration, pulling at the roots as I tried to think clearly. A part of me—one I was desperately trying to silence—was thrilled by the revelation. She was untouched. Mine. But another part, the part that still clung to some shred of reason, knew better.“Do you even know what sex means, Liana?” I asked, my voice dropping lower, my gaze locking onto hers.Her lips parted, and for a moment, she hesitated. Then, she nodd
FORSAKEN BY FATE : EMBRACE BY WOLVES Chapter 61: A Fire I Can’t Contain
LIANA’S POVI kept my gaze locked on the blanket covering my lap as the heat in my ankle contained a pulse—a dull reminder of my eerie fall. The room was filled with tension I couldn’t name. “Let me see,” Reed’s deep, velvety voice broke the silence. My head jerked up to find him approaching me, his tall, commanding frame moving with effortless grace. He crouched beside the bed, every inch of him exuding power and control. His dark, stormy eyes caught mine for a brief second, and I swore my heart tripped over itself.“Your ankle, Liana,” he repeated, softer this time, the corners of his lips curling into a teasing smirk.“Oh,” I mumbled, dragging my leg out from under the blanket. He reached out, his long fingers brushing against my skin as he cradled my ankle in his hand. The warmth of his touch sent an electric jolt straight up my leg and into places I didn’t even know could tingle. I stared at his face, transfixed. His sharp jawline, the slight scruff on his chin, the curve of h
FORSAKEN BY FATE : EMBRACE BY WOLVES Chapter 60: Whispers of Blood
RAIDEN’S POVThe soft creak of the chair beneath me was the only sound in the room, save for the faint whistle of the wind outside. I stared at the fireplace, it’s flickering flames casting shadows that danced along the walls. My thoughts weren’t on the fire, though. They were on her.Liana.I didn’t know how long I’d been sitting here, but her face was burned into my mind, her name rolling over my tongue like a forbidden taste. I leaned back, shutting my eyes as her image took center stage once again—had striking beauty, her fiery glare, and that air of vulnerability she carried, even while trying to look strong.I shouldn’t be thinking this way. She was off-limits, and yet I couldn’t help myself. Every curve of her body, the feel of her ass on my hands when I carried her out of that gym class, every movement she made—it all tugged at a primal part of me, the part I couldn’t control. I exhaled sharply, dragging a hand through my hair. “Damn you, Raiden,” I muttered under my breath.
FORSAKEN BY FATE : EMBRACE BY WOLVES Chapter 59: The Web of Deceit
LILA’S POVThe weight of the blade felt heavier than I expected. It wasn’t just silver—it was power, chaos, and death molded into a weapon and sealed with the blood with the most powerful Alpha to have ever existed. And now, it rested in my trembling hands, hidden beneath the folds of my cloak as I slipped through the shadows of the Crescent Moon Company. My heart hammered in my chest, the sound drowning out the muffled chatter of employees as they passed me by, oblivious to the treachery unfolding right under their noses.I had done it. After years of planning, lying, and earning their trust, I had the Silver Blade. The very weapon I had been sent here for.Reed trusted me the most. That thought twisted something sharp in my chest. I had seen the admiration in his eyes when he spoke of my loyalty and dedication. “You’re more than just an assistant, Lila. You’re family,” he’d said once. Family. The word made my stomach churn.I wasn’t part of their family. I never had been.I still re
FORSAKEN BY FATE : EMBRACE BY WOLVES Chapter 58: Feelings Amidst Challenges
REED’S POVThe living room felt heavier than usual. The dim light from the overhead chandelier did little to illuminate the tension in the air. Callum was pacing, his boots scuffing against the wooden floor, while Asher leaned against the wall, arms crossed, his ever-present frown deeper than usual. Malcolm sat stiffly in the armchair, his fingers tapping a restless rhythm on the armrest. I stood near the window, staring out into the darkness, trying to gather my thoughts as the weight of the missing silver blade pressed down on me.It was Callum who broke the silence, his voice sharp and clipped. “The blade is really gone.”I turned to face him, my brows furrowing. “We’re all aware of that, Callum. The real question is—who took it?”Malcolm shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his face pale. “Do we have any solid leads? Any idea who might’ve done this?”Asher, ever the skeptic, pushed off the wall. “I think it’s Maddox,” he said, his tone cold. “He’s been way too quiet lately. If he’s
FORSAKEN BY FATE : EMBRACE BY WOLVES Chapter 57: The Night of Ashes
ORION’S POVThe silence of the night was deceptive—a calm before the chaos I was about to unleash. The Blood Moon Pack, nestled in the shadow of a thick forest, was oblivious to the danger creeping toward it. The moon was a mere sliver in the sky, offering little light as my men and I waited just beyond the treeline. I could hear the faint hum of their nightly routines: laughter from a few houses, the occasional bark of a restless dog, and the quiet rustle of leaves as the wind passed through.I crouched low, my dagger, glinting in the dim moonlight, and scanned the village ahead. Smoke curled from chimneys, blending into the starless sky. These people—soft, complacent—had no idea what awaited them. My orders were clear: infiltrate, destroy, and extract information about the girl. Liana Harper, as the pack members screamed her name out just by the picture I showed them. A name whispered among Kade’s circle, tied to something far greater than anyone in this pack could comprehend.“Move
FORSAKEN BY FATE : EMBRACE BY WOLVES Chapter 56: Whirlwind of Confusion
REED’S POVThe drive home stretched on, each second dragging as my mind spiraled deeper into the chaos that had become my reality. The hum of the car engine was the only sound, blending with the faint whispers of Liana’s soft breathing. My grip on the steering wheel was vice-like, my knuckles whitening under the strain. It felt like if I let go, even for a second, everything would fall apart—both the car and my sanity.I risked another glance at her, curled up in the passenger seat. Her hair framed her face like a halo, the gentle rise and fall of her chest so steady, so calm, it was maddening. How could she sleep after what had happened? How could she find peace in a world that seemed hellbent on tearing her apart?I forced my gaze back to the road, the memory of her limping figure still fresh in my mind. Her ankle had been twisted, swollen beyond reason, and the pain in her eyes when she tried to take even a single step… It was unbearable. She hadn’t cried, though. Not once. That st
FORSAKEN BY FATE : EMBRACE BY WOLVES Chapter 55: A Mother’s Distant Hope
SERAPHINE’S POV I sat in my office, my hands working methodically as I mixed herbal extracts into small vials. Healing was a task I had always found solace in—a task that demanded focus and helped quiet the noise in my head. Silver Crest Academy, with all its bustling chaos, gave me purpose. Today, however, the usual hum of my work felt disrupted, like the air itself was charged with something unusual. “Have you heard? Three identical triplets just arrived at the academy,” one of the younger healers murmured as she passed by my door. I rolled my eyes, brushing off the comment. Students and staff were always enamored with gossip, especially when it involved anything remotely dramatic. I had no time for distractions. There were too many responsibilities on my shoulders, and I couldn’t afford to indulge in idle talk.Still, when I saw Raiden walking briskly past my office moments later, my instincts sharpened. He wasn’t just walking—he was practically running, his face set with tensio
