AXEL VOSS"Shh!" Axel shushed Ava as he sniffed the air and paid attention with his vibrant senses of hearing and smell. He knew immediately that Cahir's men were already closing in on them.“What is it? Cahir’s soldiers?” Ava gasped, her instincts directing her back to the shelter where Darcy lay unconscious. As she tried to run inside the fort, her heart dropped when a savage-looking Delta guard came out of the shelter with Darcy's unconscious body in his arms, and a vicious smile crept onto his face.Axel's face etched with anger and a protective resolve as he tried to jump on the guard, until he saw the glistening knife gently placed at Darcy's neck, which momentarily froze him—Darcy was his hostage.And so fast, they were surrounded by another dozen of Cahir's Delta guards, and then a hysterical laughter cut the tension."Do you think you can escape from me, Axel?" Cahir purred."It is over now, Cahir. Let my girl go, or I’ll stop at nothing to tear you to shreds alive and feed y
AT THE CAPITAL, CENTRAL POWER THE ROYAL HOUSE OF LYCANS PALACE HENRI OF BLOODCLAW Henri could not wrap his head around the ridiculousness of it all—how he was quickly accused of this great crime of committing adultery with Vera, the king's concubine, and immediately locked up without the council giving him the benefit of the doubt or a chance to deny the allegation. He wasn't only surprised by the absurdity of it all, but also by how the Council didn’t discuss getting Princess Darcy back. Henri could not imagine what might have gone wrong with that little princess, and her uncle Aric, who was supposed to be enthusiastic about finding her, seemed so relaxed, instead fighting a power struggle. Henri growled as he banged the cell gate continuously. "I need to get out of here and find the Princess! Do you think the king would do this to me if he were here? What is this misplaced priority?" Henri growled loudly, hoping there was anyone from the council behind the dungeon. Just as he ha
HENRI OF BLOODCLAW It happened so fast that Henri was presented to the court as the moonsaint draped in his robe proceeded."Henri Payne of Bloodclaw Pack you are faced with this grievous allegation of adultery with the king's concubine, how will you answer to this treachery?"Henri’s face burned with indignation as he addressed the court. "This is madness," he spat, casting a fierce look across the assembly. "Instead of wasting time on these fabricated lies, you should be searching for Princess Darcy!"Henri had no time for this little drama brought up by Aric, He was desperate to know the condition of the missing princess, especially since Alpha Axel has been gone for days now and there were no message or orders from him.Axel had told him not to lift a finger since he was gone until he returns back with Ava alive, and now his daughter has been kidnapped to the same enemy he risked his life to deal with.He doesn't know what to decide on, he could have raised armies against the Da
AVA KILLIAN Ava held onto Axel, who was gradually losing consciousness, but he tried hard to gain control of himself, despite being unable to stand properly. With a single snap, he broke the arrow buried in his arm, closer to his chest, without removing it in order not to lose blood. "We need to get to the Capital before dawn," Axel’s voice was gruff. "You need to rest. I'll check around for help, maybe a traveler, farmer, or anyone! You are poisoned," Ava panicked as Axel held her tightly with a deadly glare. "I can hold on. Let’s get back to the palace now!" he growled. "I could bring help from the palace, Father," Flynn proposed, looking worried for his father, as Axel gently patted his shoulder. "I’ll be fine. We need to get to the palace. Can you mount your Direwolf? They are almost bigger than a pony. They are safer than the enemy's horse," Axel questioned, as the lethality of the poison coursed through his bloodstream, causing excruciating pain. He was drenched in
AVA KILLIANAva watched as the Grand Maester and the physicians tended to Alpha Axel in his chamber. He was lying there unconscious, and just beside him was Darcy. The Grand Maester had checked her and told Ava she was merely in a state of shock due to the cruel number of acupuncture needles used on her, and she would recover soon.This gave Ava a breath of relief as the Grand Maester continued to decoct the poison antidote. Though he had given Axel a series of neutralizers, the physician worked on the several fatal injuries on his body.All the injuries were inflicted by Cahir: the unhealed gashes from the Death Pit and the wound from the poisoned arrow that took him down.As the physician removed the arrow, which was about an inch deep into his arm, Ava's heart ached while the other nurses applied pressure.Suddenly, a familiar voice shot into the room."Oh! My king, you are back! Thank the Goddess, I have been so worried—you can't imagine to what extent," Kaila exclaimed as she dra
AVA KILLIAN "You'll do no such thing," a voice broke in—it was Henri's. Ava could see the shock on Kaila's face when she heard Henri walk into the room. Shouldn't Henri be dead by now? "You! You? How did you escape?" Kaila asked, her brows furrowed. "You should leave, Kaila. The king's health is paramount. Don't yell here," Henri said. "You can't tell me what not to do! Let this woman be locked up at once! You do not have the authority to command me around," Kaila yelled as the guards walked toward Ava. Ava stepped backward, seeing that Kaila held significant power over them after being made Queen Consort. "Don't you dare touch the king's..." Henri started but paused, thinking of what to call Ava—whether the king's slave or mate. The king hadn't yet pronounced her his mate. "Don't touch her!" Henri simply said, and the guards halted. Jared Ashtower came in and slipped his hand into Ava's. The slight touch sent shivers down her spine as she looked up at his handsome face. "I'll
The garden lake lay quiet and serene, its surface shimmering under the late afternoon sun. Ava often wandered here when she needed a moment of peace, a chance to breathe in the calm beauty of nature away from the watchful eyes of the palace.As she stepped around a curve in the path, she stopped abruptly. Just a few feet away, by the edge of the lake, stood a small figure—Prince Ansel. He was crouched by the water, tossing stones and watching as they splashed and disappeared into the depths. Ava hadn’t expected to see him here, but she smiled, thinking perhaps it was a chance to make a gentle introduction.“Hello, Your Highness,” she greeted softly, stepping forward so he would notice her.The young prince looked up, and immediately his expression shifted. His gaze grew cold, startlingly so for a child his age. He stood, brushing his hands off on his fine tunic, his mouth curling in distaste.“So, you’re the king’s *slave*,” he said, his voice sharp and accusing. "Mother said that’s w
AXEL VOSS It had been over a week and there was no sign of Axel waking up from his unconsciousness, the maester's and the physicians never left his side for once. Working hard for the recovery of the king, Both using the medical and ancient methods, Apparently the poison Cahir had shot him with was unlike any they'd ever seen—a foul blend of aconite-wolfsbane and silver powder, Lupine’s Bane, crafted to hunt him. It leeched through his blood, burned his muscles, suffocated his bones.. This had essentially destroyed his regenerative ability and rendering him unconscious for this long, and worst preventing any natural recovery. Inside his mind, a storm of memories came. Axel was trapped in a pit of despair where past horrors played on an endless loop, darkened visions seared into his closed eyes. His consciousness was fractured, seized by the primal instinct of his wolf nature, but unable to release him from the cage of his human pain, as his mind still swirl and suffer the ordeal
(Unedited)VISSERA ASHTOWER"Being a concubine is not that bad. Vissera... Sinclair can't reject his mate. You just focus on managing the household," Lady Baron said, and I felt a lump in my throat. I can't believe Sinclair's mother was saying this. "I am not made only to manage this household while I'm reduced to a lowly concubine. Why can't he marry his mate as a concubine instead?" I replied to Lady Baron, and I could see the shock in her eyes; they had known me as the obedient wife who only does whatever they order, and she didn't expect that I'd talk back.Family and honour were my life, and as the only surviving heiress to the prestigious House Ashtower of the Mooncrest Pack, I have to be married to keep my family's name and house alive.Especially since the kingdom has been divided by the twin Alpha Heirs, who loathed one another with utmost passion, making everything unstable, this has led my father to make a marriage pact with me and a certain useless heir of the Baron Hous
UNEDITED CONE BRACKENRIDGE Cole had never tasted true pain. He was the son with the perfect birthright, unscarred by curses, adored by all. He was handed everything on a gilded platter, and yet now—now—we shared a mate? The word seared my mind. My wolf clawed at the edges of my control, demanding blood, demanding dominance.But I tried harder to calm my wolf; he could rule all day and night, but this night was mine. I have to be in control of my wolf.I glanced at Vissera. She stood stiffly beside me, her head held high, a fragile thing pretending at strength. She was looking at Cole as he entered the hall. She didn’t dare look at me. She was trembling, and it wasn’t the chill of the hall that did it. It was me.I terrified her.No matter how softly I spoke, no matter how carefully I moved, my presence consumed the air around her like smoke. She was suffocating. The fragile bond between us hummed with fear, and that fear only fuelled my rage. My fists clenched at my sides. Not toni
VISSERA ASHTOWER I was safely escorted into Alpha Soft-heart's automobile with him by my side. He held my hand tightly as the car drove us off towards the Moontower. I felt some relief because this time it isn't the Bloodtower.But I noticed something with me that I felt so embarrassed about, and I do not want Alpha Cole to notice this: the moment Alpha Stoneheart left the moonspire with his entourage, my body had instantly started to feel that foreign insatiable feeling that I felt when I was in Alpha Cone's captive, That irresistible heat spreading in my core made my vagina wet and throb when he dominated me and made me submit to his wild sexual ordeals. When I begged to not be his hunt and begged to be submissive and do anything he wants because I have heard tales of him totally losing it to his beast, and his beast would hunt and suck the blood of his hunt dry.I didn't want to become that, be his hunt, and the fear etched my heart for betraying him. His distorted guttural voic
Unedited VISSERA ASHTOWER I woke up in the middle of the night to meet Alpha Cole just by my side; the chandelier's candles in the room all lit up his handsome, well-structured face. His face was like it was moulded by the dexterous hand of the Creator of heaven and earth himself, but the room feels like it was melancholic. "You are awake, "he growled as he caressed my forehead with his hand; my heart fluttered... I couldn't tell why, but I could say it is still the disbelief that the most revered Alpha, Cole, is my mate, and right here checking if I'm alright. "Yes… I feel better. I can assure you I am in good health, Alpha." I quickly defended. Most Alphas will send their mates back immediately if they show the slightest message of unhealthiness. Inbred nobles and weak mates, I'm not any of those. I'm not ready to be chased back because of a damned uncontrollable heat. I am not ready to lose all this. This is my chance to save myself and Yennefer from the hell of all these men
(Chapter to be fixed)CONE BRACKENRIDGE Alpha Cone growled, holding on to the littlest humanity left in him as unbearable pain rippled through him, his driver shivering like a leaf the moment he drove into the Bloodtower territory. "No..." Alpha Cone choked out, his voice low, barely audible. "Vissera…” He called; he realised now that he was only able to stay in control for so long because Vissera was his mate and nearer to him, but now that she was gone, he couldn't keep control of his beast anymore.Something inside him snapped.It started in his chest, a pain so fierce it felt like his heart was being ripped apart. He staggered out of the car clutching at his ribs; the pain wasn't only physical. Her betrayal consumed him, feeding the rage that swirled together like a storm within him, His beast surged forward, no longer asking permission. It tore into him, merciless and wild. The pain became unbearable, ripping through his nerves like fire. He fell to his knees, his hands si
Unedited COLE BRACKENRIDGE That is the most humane I have seen Cone, my twin brother in a while, not as a dread soaked myth, not as a bloodlust beast terrorizing the Kingdom.There seems to be this small hint of humanity in him when he realized we shared mate, when Vissera was by his side, Unscathed, Undamaged. The beast I know would have made her his hunt.This littlest humane part was the way he fought to own Vissera, The way he went the human route by actually speaking words with me Instead of spilling blood, and also taking my entourages hostage not making them corpses.The Cone Brackenridge I know would not leave, he would take what he wants with bloodshed, and everyone in this moonspire would be his victim..But he restrained himself? And left the moonspire peaceful? Even though the people are almost lifeless with pent-up breath of his beastly destruction.What in the gods' names has tamed him? Was it her? I glanced at Vissera, could she be the balm for his chaos? The though
Note : Chapter will be fixed check later"I was humiliated by Sebastian's words, not just now but ages ago. He says some words that hurt you unaware, but would he be late before he realises it? The girl Chloe is truly talented at least." Sebastian should respect Zayne's code of conduct that he doesn't like girls; why will he sign a girl to his record label? This will probably bring more hatred for girls; we just have to leave him now till he feels a thing for girls."You should get used to me by now that I don't mince words. I'm so sorry!!"He followed me to the construction site.Where I usually take fresh air and throw pebbles into the clean river, mostly used for a pool by the students..."Please, Felix," he pleaded and pleaded and pleaded."Ok, ok!!"I said..."Yasss, that's my Felix.""Let's swim in this cool pool."I said,"I don't want to get wet now; I preferred the artificial pool.".Sebastian excused,"Hummm!! Tell me you can't swim; stop lying.I revealed,"Good, you know."
“Note:- Chapter will be Fixed”Chloe's POV: I finished my work for today, and I bade Ella goodbye and left for my home. I bade the security man as well; I stopped a cab, and it waited, and I entered. It carried me to the address I gave him, which was my home. I walked to our house door, pressed the doorbell, and it rang, and Nicki rushed out as she almost bumped into me. She looks stuffy as she stuck chicken's lap in her mouth. "Huh, welcome, miss," Nicki said. "Thanks," I said with a smile. "Where's sister? "I asked, "I'm here; welcome, she said as she stepped out of her room. "How was the work? "She asked, "Good." I said as I quickly remembered the memories I see lately, "Sis, I'm confused about something that happens to me lately, I said, "Huhh??!! What's that?" she asked with a worried face. "I usually see someone else's memory lately," I said. "Hmm!! Was that not imagination? Or reflection to the stories you've read," she said. "No,not at all." "Really?? "Yes, I'm sure," I sa
AVA KILLIAN Ava’s heart thudded against her ribcage as Kaila stepped further into the room.Kaila's gaze swept over the lively scene—the children engaging, Axel standing tall with his stoic calm, and Ava still clutching Darcy protectively in her arms.Kaila’s lips curled into a polite smile, but her eyes glittered with something darker, Just yesterday Kaila had humiliated her with Old Nan Yenn, that they made her question her own sanity.Is she here to complete the disdain, or is she here to check if she had killed herself and end the supposed madness? Anger crackled through Ava's heart.“What a lovely sight,” Kaila said, her tone warm and deceiving, Ava could see through her hypocritical tone, “It’s good to see the children so full of life, isn’t it, Ava?”Ava stiffened. There was a deliberate sharpness to Kaila’s words, like she had something up her sleeve, Ava needed no one to tell her Kaila had something on her for her to visit her room in the first place.Kaila turned to Axel,
