Chapter One - Attacked
Huling Na-update:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Lena's POV
“Lena, come inside!” Alpha Atticus’s voice brought me out of my reverie. I trudged back to the pack house to continue with the discussion.
“Hector and his warriors will guard the southern side tonight. Lena, you can keep a vigil on the western side. Felixe will lead his warriors to the eastern corridor, while Ajax and I will go north. Any questions?”
“What if he has already entered our territory, Alpha?” asked Felixe, the Gamma of our pack.
“That’s unlikely. Someone would have seen him if he trespassed.” I frowned at their conversation. The curiosity of knowing more about the enemy was driving me crazy.
“We’ll be on our way, Alpha.” Alpha nodded at his Beta, watching them bundle out.
“C’mon Lucerians, we can do this! We can defeat the enemy! Let us unite and fight him!” said Hector, ushering his warriors out of the pack house. I couldn’t budge without knowing about the enemy I would face. Who was he? Why was he seeking revenge?
“Who’s Zephyrus, Alpha?” Alpha Atticus stilled and gave me a wary look, his eyes narrowing as he studied me.
“He is the son of Alpha Dimitrios, the former Alpha of the Luceres Pack. That’s all I can tell you, Lena. For more, you have to keep your end of the deal!”
I wanted to tell him about my conversation with Ajax, but no words erupted from my mouth.
I knew there was a lot more to it than what he admitted. The only way to know would be to accept Ajax as my mate. Was the sacrifice worth it? It would mean giving up hopes of my freedom. For the last twenty years, Alpha Atticus kept tabs on me. I wasn’t allowed to step out of the academy and its boundaries. I had to train to save my pack. That was the reason he rescued me. Abiding by his rules was the only way I could pay him back.
I walked out of the pack house with my warriors. There was a job at hand and I had to prove myself. However, Alpha Atticus’s words echoed in my mind as I walked towards the far west. They gave rise to questions that drove me crazy.
So, did Alpha Atticus and his brother kill Alpha Demetrios when they overpowered the Luceres Pack years ago? Who were my parents? Were they related to Alpha Dimitrios? Or was I related to Alpha Atticus’s pack? Were my parents killed in the battle? I had no idea! It was a forbidden topic, and no one was ready to give me answers. I couldn’t recall the day, obviously! It was the day I was born!
“We will reach faster if we run, Luna!” The voice of Viktor, the chief warrior of our pack brought me out of my thoughts. They called me so since Alpha Atticus ordered them to address me as the Luna of the pack.
I didn’t want to run. Xara would take over completely, and it would be difficult to tame her. She would demand freedom! Freedom meant escaping far away from here to the place that beckoned me.
“No, we will walk. Inspect your surroundings, as you go. We must ensure the enemy hasn’t encroached into our territory.”
“Yes, Luna!” I knew Viktor wasn’t happy with my decision but I didn’t care. He might be older but that didn’t make him a better warrior than me. I had seen him fight at the academy. His right side was weak from a previous injury!
They followed me in silence when Viktor stopped abruptly. “Luna! Alpha Atticus wants us to go back to the pack house.”
“Why? Is something wrong?” I immediately sensed an ominous silence all around me. They knew something that I didn’t.
“Please, can we head back?” Viktor had already started returning to the pack house without waiting for my command. I frowned, this time my mind connected me to Alpha Atticus.
“Where is Ajax, Lena?” he demanded agitatedly through the link.
“I don’t know, Alpha. We had an argument, and he left abruptly.”
“Why did you have to fight with him? I’m still waiting for him at the pack house. I can’t get through to him. I’m not getting a good feeling out of this, Lena.” My mind went blank too, as a sense of dread clutched at my heart. Where did Ajax go? Was he in any danger?
“I didn’t fight, Alpha. Ajax wanted me to cancel the Bonding Ceremony tomorrow. He doesn’t want me as his Luna. He has found his mate,” I blurted out on the spur of the moment. Alpha Atticus had to know that I would never go against him.
“I see! Come quickly. I’m waiting!” He broke the link and we rushed back to the pack house to find Alpha Atticus pacing the lounge area.
“Viktor, search the entire village for Ajax. I’m not getting a good feeling out of the whole thing.”
“Yes, Alpha!” Viktor ran out with his team to do the job while I stood like a statue beside a brooding Alpha Atticus.
“Why didn’t he tell me he found his mate? Do you know who it is?”
I shook my head slowly. I know I should have asked him but at that time, it didn’t cross my mind.
“He left before I could ask him!”
A strange shuffle made us stop and look outside the pack house. My heightened senses immediately caught the scent of fresh blood in the air. There was someone out there! I rushed forward towards the main door with Alpha Atticus hot on my heels.
“Stop or I’ll rip you apart!” I yelled as I sprang in the air to attack the shadow that had crept up the porch. It wasn’t a Lucerian! It was an alien wolf, a trespasser.
I could feel my clothes rip as Xara took over. Her fierce form pounced on the shadow, ready to rip it apart.
“Ajax!” Alpha Atticus’s thunderous voice reached us before Xara and I could finish the enemy off. Xara stilled, turning to look at the lifeless body of Ajax lying on the porch in a pool of blood! His torso had been ripped apart ruthlessly in a single stroke and blood gushed out into a puddle.
Shocked was an understatement of what I felt! I hadn’t expected this end for Ajax, even though I hated him.
The shadow pushed Xara away, taking advantage of our momentary distraction. It slipped away, merging into the darkness in a fraction of a second before we could locate it.
Xara wanted to chase it, but I calmed her. Alpha Atticus rushed towards us like a lunatic! I could understand his state since now his condition was just like mine. We had no one to call our own!
“Ajax! He killed Ajax!” He dropped to his knees beside Ajax’s lifeless body in a state of shock.
I stood by him in silence, unable to comfort him in any way. A distressed, heartbroken howl escaped him, echoing around the place in the night. I knew he was mourning the death of his son while I watched him, transfixed, to the spot.
His call was answered by more howls that seemed to encroach upon us. Yes, the pack had heard his distress call!
It was then that my glance went to Ajax’s forehead.
A faint message written with his blood caught my attention!
Meet me at the battlefield - Zephyrus.
“Alpha, there’s a message on his forehead!”
He opened his grief-stricken eyes and stared at the message. His body trembled with fury and he stood up with a grim look on his face.
“Gather everyone and come over to the battlefield, Lena! I want Zephyrus’ blood!” Before I could stop him, he ran, transforming into his wolf, Shadow. I knew he left to face the enemy all by himself. It was too dangerous at his age. I was sure that was what Zephyrus wanted. I mind-linked Hector and summoned him and the rest of the warriors to the battlefield. It was the valley on the other side of Astros Hill, a small eroded hill on the eastern boundary of our village.
Our pack has used it as a battlefield for as long as I can remember. It was the exact place where Alpha Achilles defeated Alpha Dimitrios, twenty years ago. I knew the place well. I had practiced my moves there many times with my mentor at the academy.
I ran as fast as I could. Maybe I could catch up with Shadow before he reached the battlefield. As fast as lightning, I raced towards our destination. Strangely, there was no sign of Shadow anywhere. I knew Alpha Atticus had a leg injury that restricted his movements. How did he reach there so fast? Did Zephyrus attack him on the way?
Hector and the others joined me, and we reached the battlefield in a few minutes. The field was bathed in total darkness with not a single soul around.
“They’re watching us!” whispered Hector as we took shelter behind Astros Hill.
Xara was restless again! The strange scent we had encountered earlier was back! I could feel a forceful presence behind us! The presence of the enemy!
“They’re behind us, Hector!”

Fighting Zephyrus-The Indomitable Alpha (Overpowered Series) Chapter Two - Face To Face With The Enemy
Lena's POVI whirled around, waiting for the enemy to attack us from behind. My instincts have never let me down so far.There were no signs of the enemy yet but the scent was quite strong now. The wind howling through the gap between the peaks of the Astral mountain ranges had picked up the enemy’s scent. They were approaching us. Even Hector nodded at me. He, too, had picked it up. We waited quietly for the enemy to make a move. Not a hoot of an owl could be heard tonight. A faint crunch of the snow gave them away, and I glanced straight at the enormous boulders in front of us. Yes, I could see them now. Hector, Viktor, and our warriors too followed suit just in time to see almost fifty fiery eyes glittering behind the boulders ahead. Was that all to the enemy? They were nothing compared to our two hundred warriors! We could do this! But where was Zephyrus? We couldn’t wait for them to attack. We had to take them by surprise! “Attack!” I instructed my warriors, rushing forward
Fighting Zephyrus-The Indomitable Alpha (Overpowered Series) Chapter Three – Urge To Heal Her
Zephyrus' POV I stared at the milky white creature lying near my feet, her electric blue eyes closing forever. For the first time in my life, I felt a strange ache in my heart for my victim. I hadn’t meant to hurt her. I had warned her, but she attacked me suddenly. ‘It was a defensive move, Zeph!’ Zeus, my wolf, defended himself. Of course, it was. I might be reckless, uncaring, and temperamental, but I didn’t kill unnecessarily. I always fought for a cause. I could see my army rejoicing, but I couldn’t join them. Something deep inside me stopped me. I had avenged the death of my pack at the hands of the enemy. Our sworn enemies, Alpha Achilles, and his brother, belonged to the Whiteridge Pack from the neighboring territory of White Ridge, on the other side of the Astral Mountains. They had overpowered us when I was just nine. I was powerless then, but not anymore. Today was the greatest day of my life. It was the moment I had been waiting for the last twenty years. Yet I didn
Fighting Zephyrus-The Indomitable Alpha (Overpowered Series) Chapter Four – He's My Mate!
Lena's POV The dull throbbing in my head made me stir. It brought me out of my unconscious state with a jolt. The pain proved that I was alive! I had survived the attack! I had survived my first actual battle! Relief washed over me, and I slowly opened my bleary eyes and looked around the dark room I was in. It looked like a warm bedroom, comfortable and lived in. As if I was in someone else’s home! How did I land up here? Wasn’t I left bleeding on the cold, deserted battlefield? ‘Where are your clothes, Lena?’ prompted Xara. I sat up with a jolt; the blanket falling off me to reveal my nudity. “When did I shift?” I couldn’t recall a thing after I lost consciousness on the battlefield. Who brought me here? Didn’t we lose the battle? The enemy had overpowered us, hadn’t they? ‘I don’t know, Lena. There’s a wild, male scent all around this place.’ I knew I could trust Xara’s heightened senses. They have never let me down. I sucked in a deep breath. Yes, she was right! There w
Fighting Zephyrus-The Indomitable Alpha (Overpowered Series) Chapter Five – Escaping Zephyrus
Lena's POV“Hide,” I urged Xara, crouching behind a boulder. Sounds of snow crunching under heavy footsteps made my heart pound with apprehension. Was it Zephyrus and his wolves? Did they follow my trail? Had they found us? With my breath stuck in my throat, I waited for the footsteps to draw nearer. To my utter astonishment, it was a human figure that appeared from the other side. With his silhouette against the rising sun, I couldn’t see his features clearly, but he looked somewhat familiar. In his arms was a beautiful woman with long, dark hair, swaying with every step of his! I blinked in disbelief, realizing who the man was. It was Felixe in his human form! So was that Hera in his arms? Was she the one he had abducted? Why did she resemble Zephyrus?Before I could emerge from my hiding place, a helicopter appeared from nowhere and hovered over the duo. A rope was lowered and Felixe clung to it while holding Hera with one arm. I watched the movie with my jaws dropped to the snow
Fighting Zephyrus-The Indomitable Alpha (Overpowered Series) Chapter Six – Knowing Her Identity
Zephyrus’ POV I sneaked into my enemy’s room, not intending to kill her but to end the confusion driving me crazy. Who was she? Where was she all this while? Why didn’t the pack members know her well if she was the chosen Luna of the pack? These were questions that flitted through my mind since my encounter with her last night on the battlefield. All I caught on was her name, Lena Warrick, but it didn’t ring a bell. I didn’t know of anyone by that surname in Lucania! So was she from the Whiteridge Pack? I was certain that she was from our enemy pack. Why else would she escape to the enemy territory? Maybe she was returning home! Mad with fury, I wanted to punish her, but first I had to be certain. However, the moment I entered her room, her sweet scent seeped into my system. I was suddenly aware of the escalating warmth bubbling within me, seeking a vent to erupt. They gave rise to many urges, so fiery, I had no control over them anymore. The need to mark her, take her, mate her, a
Fighting Zephyrus-The Indomitable Alpha (Overpowered Series) Chapter Seven – A Worst Punishment
Lena’s POVThe sound of the door clicking open followed by a rush of footsteps made me stir. I opened my bleary eyes to check who had entered my room. It was Leandros! I smiled at him as I sat up on the bed, but he stormed into my room in a fit of rage, and I frowned at his transformed demeanor. Was he the same friendly Gamma I had met earlier? “Lena Warrick! Is that your name?” he asked with a scowl. I wondered what was wrong with him. Gone was his friendliness. Instead, it was replaced by a cold, calculating look while he glared at me angrily. What crime did I commit now?“Yes. How did you know?” Maybe, the old pack members had informed him. “That’s inconsequential! Who are you? Are you a Lucerian?” I frowned at his question. Of course, I was a Lucerian, having spent twenty years in this place, but I wasn’t sure if I was born one. “I guess so.” He went livid with fury at my non-committal response. “You can’t guess! It’s a yes or a no. Do you belong to our pack? Who are your pare
Fighting Zephyrus-The Indomitable Alpha (Overpowered Series) Chapter Eight – Feeling Her Pain
Zephyrus’ POVI ran faster down the barren snowy terrain, the icy wind howling past my ears. The pain in my heart was too much to bear. It made Zeus howl like a tortured soul. For the last three and a half days, I haven’t been able to shift to my human form. Neither have I been able to go home. With every staggering breath that passed through Lena’s lips, with every tear she shed, I doubled up with pain. It was the worst imaginable torture I ever suffered in my twenty-nine years of life. I had fought battles, conquered territories, and slayed monsters, yet the pain I felt because of Lena was the most unbearable. It constricted my heart, making me unable to function normally. There was no doubt she was my mate! I wanted to bring her home, into the safety of my arms! I never wanted to hurt her, but this was beyond my control. This wasn’t a personal issue between us. It involved all those with me who were forced to escape that dreadful night. They needed justice. Leandros lost his litt
Fighting Zephyrus-The Indomitable Alpha (Overpowered Series) Chapter Nine – Why Am I Here?
Lena’s POVI opened my bleary eyes to check out my surroundings. Even in my dazed state, I was aware of being carried out of the hellhole by someone warm and gigantic. Although I was too weak to open my eyes and see him, I knew his scent, even with my eyes closed. I could hear his deep, rumbling voice comforting me. It confused me a lot. Why was he saving me when he was the one responsible for my condition? I could feel him laying me down on the bed like he had done before. It was the same room he had brought me earlier. This time, however, his touch was tender, his presence warmer. It felt as if he had accepted me as his mate! But I knew otherwise! He had to have an ulterior motive behind his kind act. Maybe he wanted to use kindness as a tool to get information out of me! He was the enemy and I wouldn’t allow him to manipulate me. I mustered up all my strength and sipped the water he offered. It energized me a little, and I opened my bleary eyes after he left the room. This was t

Fighting Zephyrus-The Indomitable Alpha (Overpowered Series) Epilogue
Lena’s POV Today was the greatest day of my life when I would swear to dedicate my life to my pack. It was the Luna Ceremony today. It’s the day I would be officially welcomed into the pack and given the honor of becoming their Luna.More than me, I could feel Zephyrus’ excitement radiating out of his body in everything he did! He had been wanting this for a long time.Clad in a white, embellished gown paired with a delicate white floral clutch in my hair, I felt like a queen. I was Alpha Zephyrus’ queen!My mom and Hazel had helped me get ready for my big day, escorting me here to the pack house. I was glad of their presence in my life! Now, I had everything I had wished for and more. I had a family, a dream I could fulfill, but mostly, I had a loving mate to spend my life with. I gazed at my mate as he stood outside with Stavros, watching the pack members gather in front of the altar for the event. The moon was at its brightest as if the Goddess was blessing me from up above.A sat
Fighting Zephyrus-The Indomitable Alpha (Overpowered Series) Chapter Seventy-Six – Justice
Zephyrus’ POV I left the spy girl under Alexandrios’ care and headed to the prison to wrap up the unfinished work I had there. I had to reach the root of this. How could they house the underage female spy in the male prison? I called Stavros and asked him to reach the place immediately. He had some explanation to do tonight. I stormed into the prison complex in a state of fury. The guards trembled at the sight of me, having never expected me to return! Now in Lena’s absence, I could rip their hearts out for what they did to an underage girl. “Call all the guards here. Where’s Brutus? Call him right now!” I paced the floor of the prison office waiting for Brutus, our old superintendent, who had been here since my father’s time. “Brutus hasn’t reported for almost a month, Alpha.” Stavros arrived with an agitated look on his face. “What’s up, now? Did the spy open her mouth yet?” “No. She’s not in a condition to open her mouth.” Stavros blinked and focused his attention on me. I f
Fighting Zephyrus-The Indomitable Alpha (Overpowered Series) Chapter Seventy-Five – The Mysterious Cerelia Belmont
Lena’s POVA Week Later: The last two days had been a roller-coaster journey for me and Zephyrus. After spending three days at the resort, a call from Stavros disrupted our peace of mind. Those three days were the best ones in my life. Zephyrus and I enjoyed every attraction in and around Yellowknife during the daytime, while on the nights we mated like there was no tomorrow. However, we were brought out of our mating haze with a jolt. Stavros and Homer had captured a female spy trespassing on the southern boundaries of Lucania. Although her identity was still a mystery to all, they suspected her to be Felixe’s spy! We had to return home, and ever since, Zephyrus had been extremely busy trying to find out the threats looming over our heads. With my Luna Ceremony scheduled two days later, I had been busy too! “Lena, will you talk to the spy? See if you can make her spill the details of her mission!” I shut my laptop and turned my attention to my mate. I had been busy with the regi
Fighting Zephyrus-The Indomitable Alpha (Overpowered Series) Chapter Seventy-Four – Heat
Lena’s POV The ice-cream did wonders to my body. Since the time I was at the ice skating rink, I started feeling an intense heat accumulate in the pit of my stomach. It caused a burning sensation between my legs, making me all worked up. I was in Zephyrus’ arms then and the heat build-up made me restless. Now I felt a little better after enjoying the two ice creams. He held me close as we sped towards Point Lake Resort and Spa and the momentary relief I was feeling subsided. His nearness, his warmth again, brought the burning heat back into my body! Was this normal? Although twenty, I had never experienced this in my life! Maybe I was going into heat like all the female wolves did! Zephyrus inhaled sharply and tightened his hold on me. Did he sense it? “Are you alright?” I could feel his sharp intake of breath as he leaned in to nuzzle his face into my neck. “Yes.” It was a shaky whisper as weird sensations rocked my body. I just couldn’t restrain the urge to break into my wolf
Fighting Zephyrus-The Indomitable Alpha (Overpowered Series) Chapter Seventy-Three - Date Night
Lena’s POVHazel bundled everyone out before Zephyrus’ return. It puzzled me since I hadn’t informed her about our date tonight. Maybe Zephyrus had. After all, she was closer to him than to me. With no time to spare, I got ready in a black knitted dress, pairing it with a matching jacket, stockings, and boots. These were the clothes Hazel had got for me.At first glance, I thought they were a waste of time, but now I was thankful to find something to wear for the occasion. I never possessed such fancy clothes in my twenty years of life, surviving on bare essentials only, but tonight was different. Tonight I wanted to look my best. I wanted to dress up for my mate for the first time in my life. I wished I had some money to buy some clothes for myself and my mom. Maybe I would get a job somewhere before starting my dream venture. It would help me invest too. The front door clicked open, and it brought me out of my thoughts. I heard footsteps approach the bedroom, and my heart skipped
Fighting Zephyrus-The Indomitable Alpha (Overpowered Series) Chapter Seventy-Two - Bonding For Life
Lena’s POVIt was morning already, but I was too sore to get up. I could hear Zephyrus move around outside, but I couldn’t join him. After much effort, I somehow limped towards the washroom to freshen up. Despite the pain, I felt sated, and euphoric, as if floating on cloud nine. The bedroom door opened and Zephyrus entered carrying a breakfast tray laden with enough food to feed a battalion. “Why did you make so much?” I chuckled as he set the tray down on the coffee table overlooking the deck. When he pushed the curtains aside, the view took my breath away. I had no idea there was a lake in his backyard. The frozen lake shone under the pale sunlight “You need to eat to get back your strength, Lena. After what you’ve been through, you need it more than I do.” He held my hand and led me to the sit-out. “Mmm, smells delicious! I could get used to this every morning!” He smiled, and we sat down to tuck into the delicious eggs Benedict made to perfection. The steak burrito and berry
Fighting Zephyrus-The Indomitable Alpha (Overpowered Series) Chapter Seventy-One - Earth-Shattering Moments
Lena’s POVThe look in his eyes made my heart skip a beat. He carried me to the bedroom, not once taking his eyes off me. My body throbbed with need, imagining what we were about to do. I could drown in him forever without a connection with the outside world! I felt intoxicated, addicted to my mate! He sat down with me straddled on his lap. His lips immediately attacked my neck, sucking on the mark, and I arch my neck to give him better access. His mouth was driving me crazy. The mark worked like an erogenous zone that always triggered a burning need in me. “What do you want, Lenn? Do you want to ride me or eat me? Or do you want me to do the honor?” I grinned at his choices because I wanted them all. How can you choose between oxygen and water when you needed both? “All of them. I want to start with eating you, but you have to close your eyes.” He chuckled at my response. “Nope. I want to see you all the time.” Blushing at his fiery, unwavering gaze pinned on me, I eased off him
Fighting Zephyrus-The Indomitable Alpha (Overpowered Series) Chapter Seventy - Not Getting Enough Of Her
Zephyrus’ POVI watched my mate sleep with a soft and blissful smile on her face. It took my breath away to know she was at peace with her life now. I was glad I could help her reunite with aunt Syble. It made me feel relaxed. I know she wouldn’t leave me now. Despite the exhaustion, I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She’s beautiful! My little Lena. Despite the age difference between us, we connected with one another so well. I had never expected I could connect to a stranger so well! My eyes were drawn to her creamy complexion that radiated a glow all around the bedroom. This time, it was the mark I gave her that glowed the most. It stared at it, as if under a hypnosis, watching her soft, pale locks brush against it. Although I had expressed my wish to make love to her again, I couldn’t wait a second more. My c*ck itched to be inside her again, but maybe she’d be sore. Maybe she needed a little rest. These thoughts made me sigh and give her a little time to recover. My c*ck twitche
Fighting Zephyrus-The Indomitable Alpha (Overpowered Series) Chapter Sixty-Nine - Heated Confessions
Lena’s POVHe carried me to the bed, laying me down gently. Glancing down at my exposed body, a low and possessive growl escaped his lips, making me shiver. He eased onto the bed, slowly, while holding my gaze. As he hovered over me, his legs pinned me to the bed, yet his unwavering gaze seemed to watch my reaction minutely. “Show me how much you missed me!” I smiled, knowing how to please him. As we lay heart to heart, skin to skin, I surrendered my soul to him forever. He dipped his head to kiss the mark he gave me. The swirl of his wet tongue against it, the warmth seeping through me, was enough to turn me on. I could feel his erection grinding into me and I dug my nails into his shoulders while my hips moved of their own accord to meet his thrusts. With a possessive growl, he moved downward, trailing his mouth from my neck down my chest to latch onto my left breast. With his thumb teasing the other one, I could feel my arousal growing to new heights. My breathing was shaky. I
