Varg’s POV

The engine growled beneath my grip, the wheels churning against the dirt road as I pushed the car faster than necessary. The drive through the backwood pack was eerily silent, the dense trees pressing in on both sides like watchful sentinels. The further I went, the stronger the scent of damp earth and pine became, but there was something else beneath it, something rancid and old, like forgotten blood soaked into the roots of the land.

Bethany’s mother’s house came into view, a weathered wooden structure that sat like a lonely ghost in the middle of the clearing. The shutters were slightly ajar, swinging with the breeze, and the porch creaked under my weight as I approached. The place wasn’t exactly welcoming, but I wasn’t here for comfort.

Before I could knock, the door opened, revealing a young woman with piercing green eyes and dark, unruly curls that cascaded down her shoulders. Bethany’s sister. She looked at me with guarded curiosity, leaning against the doorframe.

  • Her Chosen Mate   89. The Hidden Truth

    Varg's POV“What’s with the question, Varg?” Lucian questioned as he walked further into the room and took a seat in his chair, placing the file before him.“Don’t you see the truth? It’s right in front of us,” I said, trying to make him see things from my perspective.Lucian sighed, rubbing a hand over his face tiredly. “Okay, let me get this straight, you think Bethany is Thanos’s insider?”“Yes,” I said through gritted teeth. “All I needed was to confirm that she wasn’t actually checking on her sick mother like she claimed.”Lucian burst out laughing. “Okay, Varg. I think you’re overthinking things right now. Bethany and Thanos? That’s not even possible. And even if it was…” He paused, looking at me as if I had suddenly grown magical wings.I rolled my eyes at his expression. It was obvious he had either figured out the truth or was desperately trying to convince himself that Bethany wasn’t the traitor.“The Blackwood Pack was nearly burned to the ground, yet the fire never reached

  • Her Chosen Mate   90. A Little Lie

    Varg's POVMy initial plan was to walk up to the entrance of the mansion and stand before Bethany as she sneaked in, but the moment I stepped out of the room, I realized it wouldn't be a good idea.She thought no one knew what she had been up to, and I was going to let her believe that, for now. I walked down the hallway and approached the door to her room, a brown, furnished door that I never thought I would be grabbing the knob of until today.The door creaked softly as I pushed it open and stepped inside. I scanned the room for a chair and spotted one in the corner next to her closet. Walking over, I grabbed it and pulled it toward the window, where the cool breeze brushed against my skin.I crossed my arms, staring at the door as if it amused me, but that wasn't the case. My mind was filled with too much, and it would only take her pushing that door open for everything to explode.I heard footsteps, then the moment I had been waiting for. The door opened softly, and Bethany walke

  • Her Chosen Mate   91. The Alibi

    Varg's POV I pulled into Jacob’s parking lot and shut off the engine, exhaling a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding. The familiar scent of oil, gasoline, and metal filled the air, a signature of Jacob’s place. The sky had darkened, casting long shadows over his yard, where the faint sound of metal clinking against metal echoed.Stepping out of the car, I shut the door behind me and took in the sight before me. Jacob was in his front yard, hunched over his motorcycle, his broad shoulders flexing as he tightened a bolt. His hands, coated in grease, moved with practiced ease, like he was born to fix things. The old bike sat on its stand, partially disassembled, its chrome catching the dim light from the porch.He didn’t notice me at first, too focused on his work. I took a moment to watch him, remembering how Jacob had always found comfort in fixing things, machines, weapons, even people. It was his way of staying grounded.When he finally looked up and saw me, his brows lifted slig

  • Her Chosen Mate   92. Secret Romance

    Varg’s POV“How’s your hand, my love?” I asked as I pulled on my nightwear and slipped into bed beside Lyra.She smiled as my hand brushed over the top of her injured arm. “According to the pack doctor, I’m healing. My wolf is active again.” She chuckled softly, shifting forward into my embrace. “I don’t feel as much pain as before.”“That’s good, my love.” I placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, my lips lingering for a moment. “Don’t worry. Soon, everything will be alright.”“I know.” She looked up at me, her red eyes reflecting the dim moonlight seeping through the window. “And I believe that.”Her lips met mine, warm and familiar, carrying the weight of unspoken promises. The kiss was slow, filled with reassurance and something deeper, something only we understood. When we finally pulled apart, she rested her head against my chest, her breath syncing with mine.I pulled her closer, inhaling her scent, a mixture of lavender and something uniquely hers. “I love you, Lyra.”She shifte

  • Her Chosen Mate   93. An Old Friend

    Varg’s POV“Thank you for coming,” I said to Jacob as I stepped forward, placing a firm hand on his shoulder.He gave me a slight nod, his gaze sharp but unreadable. Without another word, I turned and walked away, glancing over my shoulder briefly to see if Bethany was following. She cast a hesitant look at Lucian before finally stepping forward, her pace cautious.Sliding into the driver’s seat, I turned on the engine, the low hum filling the air. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Bethany hesitating before opening the passenger door. She slipped inside, her face lined with unease, her hands nervously twisting in her lap.“If there’s anything you want me to know, don’t keep it from me,” I said, casting her a knowing look before resting my arm against the steering wheel.She turned to me, and though I kept my eyes on the road ahead, I could feel the tension rolling off her in waves. “I don’t know if my father is ready to see you,” she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. “He ma

    Lyra’s POV“Mommy, I haven't seen Daddy in a while now," Moon complained, her voice soft as she rested her head on my lap.We sat on the lush green lawn in the garden, the warm afternoon breeze brushing against us. Tristan and Justine sat a little distance away, their notepads propped on their knees as they scribbled down whatever held their interest.I ran my fingers gently through Moon’s silky hair, tucking a loose strand behind her ear. “Baby, your dad has been busy for quite some time now," I said, keeping my voice calm despite the ache in my chest.Moon shifted slightly, turning her big, curious eyes up at me. “Is it about that bad man that came over that day?" she asked innocently. "I heard Daddy talking to Aunt Bethany about someone helping him."I chuckled softly, masking my worry with a reassuring smile. “Oh, sweetheart. It’s not just about that man. Your daddy has other important things to take care of.”She pouted, her small fingers tracing absent patterns on my lap. “I tol

  • Her Chosen Mate   95. THANOS

    Lyra’s POVI stood by the entrance of the mansion, my eyes locked on Jacob as he spoke to Harold. There was tension in Jacob’s posture, the kind that signaled he was piecing together a dangerous truth. Harold, however, remained composed, his face a mask of innocence.Jacob’s jaw tightened as he leaned in closer, his words sharp and demanding, but Harold didn’t waver. A cold unease settled in my stomach. Something wasn’t right.I cast one last glance at the confrontation before turning on my heel and stepping into the mansion. My steps were brisk but quiet as I moved through the dimly lit hallway toward the children’s room. I needed to make sure they were inside, away from any potential danger.Reaching their door, I cracked it open and peeked inside. Moon was curled up beneath her blanket, her small hand resting near her face. Tristan and Justine lay still on their beds, their chests rising and falling in slow, steady breaths. The sight of them safe and asleep sent a wave of relief th

    Lyra’s POVBile rose in my throat as I stood frozen at the sight before me. Thanos stood tall, his presence menacing, flanked by five wolves with eyes that glowed in the dim moonlight. He was toying with us, drawing this out, knowing full well that Lucian was alone and outnumbered.Lucian held his ground, his jaw clenched, but I could sense his unease. He was strong, but against Thanos and five of his wolves? He wouldn't last.I needed to do something.My gaze darted around the living room, searching for my phone. It lay on the couch, its screen reflecting the dim glow of the chandelier above. I rushed over, snatching it up, and quickly dialed Varg’s number.It rang, a breath of relief left me. If Varg could get here in time, we had a chance. But then it went into voicemail.I cursed under my breath and tried again. Once, twice, three times, nothing.My fingers tightened around the phone before I hurled it onto the couch in frustration. My mind spun, searching for another plan, anothe

  • Her Chosen Mate   101. Run Away Enemy

    Varg’s POV“Daddy, Mommy said we’re leaving,” Moon’s tiny voice chimed as she padded across the living room, her soft curls bouncing with each step.I smiled down at her, reaching out to lift her onto my lap. She curled against my chest, her warmth settling something deep inside me.“Yes, sweetheart,” I murmured, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. “We’re going to the Moon Pack, where your mommy came from.”Bethany entered the room, pushing her father’s wheelchair, her expression composed yet tinged with something unspoken. She settled onto the couch across from me, her eyes steady as she met mine.“Varg,” Tommy said with quiet certainty, “I know you’re going to be a great leader. It’s always been in you, and I’m glad you finally get to step into that role.”I exhaled, a slow, relieved breath. “I just hope things turn out right from now on,” I admitted. The weight of responsibility was still settling over me, but with Thanos gone, the darkness that had loomed over us for so long h

  • Her Chosen Mate   100. Moon Pack

    Lyra’s POVA deep voice swept into my subconscious, pulling me from the edge of sleep. I turned the other way, but the cold seeped deeper into my body. My arms wrapped tightly around myself, but it did little to stop the shivers racking through me.I knew I should get up and go to the room, but I couldn't, not when I knew Varg wasn’t there. The bed would feel just as cold, just as empty.A familiar warmth surrounded me suddenly, strong arms lifting me effortlessly. Before I could fully wake, my body was cradled against a solid chest, and a familiar scent wrapped around me like a shield against the cold.My eyes snapped open. “Varg?“He didn't offer a word and carried me down the hallway, his grip firm but careful, his expression unreadable. I let my head rest against his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat beneath my ear.When we reached the bedroom, Varg placed me gently on the bed and pulled the blankets over me, tucking them securely around my shoulders.The warm

  • Her Chosen Mate   99. Consoling The Broken

    Lyra’s POV"Bethany… Bethany," I called softly, reaching out to touch her shoulder. But she didn’t flinch. She remained still, lost in her thoughts, her numbness beginning to frighten me."It’s okay," I whispered, kneeling beside her. "Please, let’s go inside before you catch a cold."She lifted her head slowly, her eyes filled with unspeakable pain, but she didn’t move."Please listen to me, Bethany," I pleaded. "I don’t want you getting sick, for your sake and for the baby’s."Her gaze flickered at me for a moment before lowering to the ground. She had been sitting in the exact spot where Lucian had fallen, even though his body was no longer there."Lyra, I don’t think I can survive this," she murmured, her voice fragile, her tears sliding down her pale cheeks. "Why did Lucian had to leave me now that we were planning of getting married?"If only I had an answer. If only I could give her the comfort she so desperately needed. But I couldn’t. I didn’t even have it for myself.Ever si

  • Her Chosen Mate   98. Pain Of Loosing

    Varg's POV The urgency in Jacob’s voice sent a sharp prickle down my spine. Something was definitely wrong, but I couldn’t quite place what it was. Maybe Jacob had figured out who the traitor was and needed me there before delivering punishment.“What’s the problem?” Tommy asked, noticing the worried expression on my face.“Just got a call from Jacob. I need to return to the mansion,” I replied absentmindedly, my voice sounding hollow.“Then you have to go. Don’t worry, you can visit whenever you want. And don’t forget what we discussed.” Tommy gave me an encouraging look, but it barely registered in my mind.I glanced at my phone, staring at the multiple missed calls from Lyra. A strange feeling crept up my spine, but I brushed it off.I stood up. “Thanks for your time, Tommy. I understand if you don’t want Lucian to know where you are. But it would really be nice if he knew.”“I’ll tell him when all this is over,” Bethany said as she walked in, handing Tommy a tea mug. “But for now

    Lyra’s POVThanos’s voice slithered through my mind like a snake, his words sharp and taunting."Oh, this is exactly what I wanted."His laughter echoed through my head, sending a shiver down my spine. I had never truly tried using the mind link before, not like this. But now, in this moment, it felt like he was inside my head, his presence pressing against my thoughts like a dark cloud."I’ve got you where I wanted, and now you can’t run away from me."A snarl ripped through my throat, my teeth clashing together in a vicious warning. My wolf burned with rage, ready to lunge, but before I could move, a massive force crashed into me from behind.I barely had time to register the weight before I was slammed into the ground, my breath knocked from my lungs. The world spun, dirt and leaves sticking to my fur as a heavy body pinned me down.A deep growl rumbled above me as I realized it was Harold in his wolf form.I thrashed, my claws digging into the ground as I tried to buck him off, bu
