Drake POV
Night after night, I prowled the woods of the Nightmare pack, always just a whisper away from their border. As the Alpha of the North, I had no business here, yet something kept me tethered to this enemy territory. I wasn't sure what I was searching for, but I knew I'd find it soon enough. The pack house was bustling, a large gathering in full swing. Hundreds had come from miles around to celebrate, blissfully unaware of the chaos about to unfold. An explosion shattered their revelry, sending the pack into a frenzy. I remained hidden in the shadows, a silent observer. Three unknown wolves crept from the woods, stalking six women around a fire. I watched, uninterested in their fate but curious about the attackers' audacity. The Nightmare pack was the strongest in the South; only fools would challenge them. Then, a scent hit me—rich, sweet, with a burst of citrus and a hint of honey vanilla. My wolf stirred, an undeniable pull drawing me toward it. My mate was here, in this cursed territory. A woman destined to destroy me and my brothers. A growl rumbled through me as I watched her. She stood defiant, ready to protect her people despite the overwhelming odds. My wolf wanted to claim her, to drag her away, but I fought against the urge. She was dangerous, a potential downfall, yet my instincts screamed to make her mine. I turned my fury on the other wolves, ending them swiftly and brutally. Her voice reached my ears, commanding and powerful. I wanted to hear more, to dominate that strength. But the distraction was short-lived. One of the wolves snapped at her dress, and my vision turned red. My wolf erupted, propelling me forward. I rammed the wolf, killing it instantly. Standing over the lifeless body, I locked eyes with her. She was a goddess, and I was her dark guardian. With a final, lingering look, I forced myself to retreat. I needed to get back to my brothers, back to the club where I could lose myself in a meaningless distraction. Inside, a petite blonde awaited, fear etched on her face. "Don't speak," I commanded. "Kneel." She obeyed, trembling. I undid my belt, my body a live wire of tension and anger. "Suck my dick," I ordered, my voice a guttural snarl. She complied, and I closed my eyes, imagining my mate's face instead. The fantasy only intensified my need. My hand tightened in her hair, my hips thrusting violently. "You're mine!" I shouted, lost in a haze of lust and rage. The pressure built until I exploded, a guttural roar tearing from my throat. But it wasn't enough. My wolf demanded more—our mate, marked and claimed. Pushing the woman away, I roared at her to leave. The battle inside me raged on. "We need our mate," my wolf growled. "She is ours." "She will betray us," I warned. "We can't let her close." But my wolf was relentless. I stormed back to my brothers, frustration boiling over. "Do you have a plan?" I demanded from River. "Our Beta friend came through," he replied, a wicked grin spreading. "Let's go." Chase smirked at me, ever the instigator. "Someone's extra horny today." "Shut up!" I snapped, grabbing him by the shirt. He laughed, unphased. The bond between us was strong; we were triplets, one soul split into three. They didn't know about her. I couldn't bring myself to share the truth. The storm inside me was mine alone to weather. We had a mission: to conquer the South. Only then would I claim my mate, whatever the cost. I didn't know what I would do with her. Fuck her, kill her, tie her up to satisfy my horny wolf day and night. There were so many things I wanted and needed, and it was already driving me insane.The Dark Wolf! Hope you are enjoying. Don't forget to drop a gem for support :)
Kiera POV Sleep dragged me into a realm of twisted dreams and dark visions. In the murky depths of my subconscious, a little girl in a red dress danced around, her red bows fluttering as she waved for me to follow. Her voice was a distorted echo, leaving me unnerved. "You're being foolish, Aunty. I thought more of you." "Who are you?" I asked, my voice trembling. "That is not important. The question is, who are you?" "I don't understand. Why am I here?" "Because you wished to escape, to understand." "That doesn't make sense." "Nothing rarely does," she giggled, a sound too innocent for the malevolence in her eyes. "You are being fooled, and deep down, you know it." A deep, menacing voice called out, "Kiera!" My head whipped around, searching for the source. "Jackson?" I asked, recognizing the growl in his voice, yet it was tinged with something darker. "Kiera!" he shouted again, his tone now furious. I stumbled back, knocking into the little girl. "Don't go to him; he doesn
Kiera POV As sleep enveloped me, my mind drifted between the realms of dreams and deep slumber. Darkness seeped into my thoughts, signaling the onset of a long night filled with vivid night terrors.A blurry vision of a little girl in a red dress with red bows pranced before me, her voice muffled and hands waving for me to follow. I stepped carefully, knowing I was in a dream, but not why or how I knew."You're being foolish, Aunty. I thought more of you.""Who are you?" I asked nervously."That is not important. The question is, who are you?'""I don't understand. Tell me, why am I here?""Because you wished to escape, to understand.""That doesn't make sense.""Nothing rarely does." The little girl giggled demonically. She was adorable, but creepy. "You are being fooled, and deep down, you know it." Her words left an uneasiness inside me.A dark voice called for me. My head spun, searching for who it came from. "Kiera!" He called again."Jackson?" I asked, recognizing his tone, but
Kiera POV For weeks, I tirelessly rallied support to clear more land in our territory. Jackson, often absent, had been negotiating with the Green Forest pack to join our alliance. Tonight, I planned a celebration for our territorial expansion, and Jackson had promised he'd be home for it. I had enlisted the help of the Second Lunas, women we provided sanctuary to. Despite the brewing internal conflicts, I hoped the festivities would be a welcome distraction. At least, that was my intention until the gossip began. "Have you seen poor Karen today?" Becky asked, her mischievous smile betraying her love for drama. "Just at breakfast. She looked utterly miserable," Sandra responded, eliciting a chorus of sympathetic tsk-tsks from the other women hauling logs to the bonfire. Curiosity piqued, I couldn't resist asking, "What happened with Alpha Marcus and his mates?" Becky, always eager to spill secrets, walked beside me, grinning. "Last month, Alpha Marcus was visiting other packs. Hi
Kiera POV I had intended to confront Jackson, but as I stormed down the street, my eyes caught sight of Devon disappearing into his house, a large bag slung over his shoulder. It had been days since I'd seen him, and I needed answers about everything—Marcus, the Second Lunas, and especially Jackson. My heart pounded as I marched up to his porch and banged on the door. "Kiera!" Devon's voice rang with surprise as he opened the door. "You're still here?" "Where else would I be?" I snapped, my patience worn thin. Devon glanced nervously around before speaking, his unease palpable. "Do you know what the other Alphas are doing to these women? What Jackson has done?" I demanded, my words sharp as knives. "Calm down, Kiera. Come in." He opened the door wider, ushering me inside. Anger and sorrow coiled within me, memories of Jackson's betrayal threatening to unleash Athena's fury. I struggled to keep control, my wolf howling for vengeance. "I know things are bad, but Kiera, we have to
Kiera POV After a night of restless running, hunger gnawed at my stomach as I stumbled upon a quaint inn in a small town. Its weathered cobblestone exterior exuded charm, and as I entered, the nostalgic scent of aged wood and the faint aroma of a crackling fireplace welcomed me. I collapsed onto a creaky bed, finally allowing exhaustion to overtake me. Hours later, I reluctantly powered on my phone, only to find over fifty missed calls from Jackson. Anger surged within me at the thought of hearing his excuses or seeing his face again. Memories of our shared past, from childhood friends to Alpha and Luna, tormented my mind. How could I have been so blind? I believed him for so long, feeling like a naive idiot. Then, the realization that I would never feel his arms around me again weighed heavily on my chest. I had never loved anyone like Jackson, and the thought of a life beyond him was unimaginable. It was always Jackson and Kiera; then we became Alpha and Luna. As I contemplated t
Kiera POVThe dark man grabbed my ass and lifted me to wrap around him. His body was so wide that I felt like a small girl in his massive embrace. The second our bodies melted to the other, I was done thinking about anything other than letting go tonight. I was a little intoxicated, and definitely not in the right mind. Right now, I felt good though. For the first time in my life, I felt like I was just living for me. No responsibilities, no precautions, and no preplanned steps. I was just a young woman needing to release her deep-rooted frustrations."I'm not a gentleman, Doll." He broke our kiss and threw me to the bed. The dangerous glimmer in his eyes made me even more wet to have him."I wouldn't be at this shitty club if I was looking for a man to take care of me. I want you to fuck me, and that's it.""You want me to make you forget about this disgusting man who dared touch what is mine." His nails scrapped my mark, sending more pain through my body. I didn't like pain, but kno
Kiera POVI woke, laying sideways on a round bed in a sleazy club. My body ached a little and between my legs was not only raw, but humming in bliss.I smiled to myself. I never thought I would enjoy a dirty one night stand with a complete stranger, who was also an arrogant Alpha. I did though. I would never see him again and no one would know exactly what happened last night. This will be my dirty little secret that I knew I would fantasize about the rest of my life.I stood and searched for my clothes. My underwear was in pieces and it made me moan remembering how he tore the fabric from my body. I slipped on my dress and washed my face. I didn't want to wash his scent completely off me though. I smiled in the mirror knowing how pissed Jackson was going to be. Good!Athena was a blissful little puppy, swimming in happiness deep in my soul. She wanted more of the dark stranger, but we had other matters to deal with. I called a taxi to bring me back to my soon to be ex home. It hurt t
River POV"You fucking reek!" I sneered at my brother, Drake, as he walked into our hotel room. We had a meeting to attend and of course he was out all night getting his dick wet."Did I ask your opinion?" His tone was usually pissed off, but I knew my brother. There was something bothering him today. I also knew not to ask him about it. Drake wasn't the sharing type. "Go shower. That pussy is fowl." I scrunched my nose at him and walked out. That scent was actually intoxicating and I couldn't take it anymore. It was faint on him, but it was alluring. I didn't want to get hard from some woman my brother was just buried in though. We shared a lot, but never women."There you are." Elizabeth gave me a sexy smile before diving straight into business. She was my girlfriend for years and would be the perfect mate. I knew I would end up choosing her as my Luna, but my brothers didn't agree she was right for the job. Which was an issue when the three of us ran the pack as one. I was hopin
