Zarek's POV

“I have a craving for steak,” Kaidon’s voice pulled me from the book I had been absorbed in. It was rare that someone interrupted my reading, but Kaidon’s voice always commanded attention.

Axel had come back an hour after Astrid had gone to sleep, and I had left the room to give them some space. As I wandered about, I happened upon Akiri, who offered to show me the library after inquiring if I enjoyed reading. I hadn’t had much access to books in the Red Claw pack, where even basic education for someone like me, an Omega, wasn’t a priority.

The Omegas had taught me how to read using picture books, but it wasn’t until I arrived at the North River pack and was confined to Ryker’s room that I found my passion for novels. Specifically, I discovered romance novels. It struck me as odd that Ryker had so many in his collection, but I didn’t feel it was my place to question it.

“Do you want me to cook some for you?” I asked, placing my book down on the side table. Rising to my

    Zarek's POVThe door slowly opened, and Kaidon stepped inside, carrying a bowl of ice cream. The caramel sauce oozed down the sides, creating a deliciously messy appearance. Without saying a word, he handed it to me and then sat down across from me on the bed.I looked at the bowl for a moment, feeling hesitant. It wasn’t that I thought he would harm me, but breaking the habits formed over years was challenging.“I didn’t lace it with poison,” he said with a light yet steady tone, shattering the silence.I nodded slightly and took a spoonful. The chilly sweetness melted in my mouth, and for the first time in what felt like ages, something other than fear or anxiety filled my heart. “Thanks,” I whispered, placing the spoon back into the bowl after a few bites.We sat in silence, the weight of it heavy between us. Once I finished, I set the bowl on the nightstand and looked up. I sensed his unwavering gaze on me, steady and intense. I knew what he was about to ask.“I’m going to ask you

    Zarek's POV Kai’s voice gently stirred me from my light slumber. “Hey, can you give me a hand with dinner?”I hardly registered Kaidon’s sleepy response. “Sure, but keep it down, please. Don’t want to disturb him.” I felt his arm loosen around me as he shifted to sit up.Rather than feigning sleep, I propped myself up. “Please don’t let him cook,” I muttered, gesturing toward Kaidon. “I want to be able to chew and keep my jaw intact.”Kai laughed, clearly entertained, while Kaidon gave me a look that was more theatrical than menacing. “You wanna join, Luna?” she asked, leaning against the doorframe.I immediately agreed. Climbing out of bed, I followed her into the kitchen. It was a welcome diversion, and honestly, cooking didn’t bother me. Kai informed me that we’d be preparing salmon for Astrid, who was apparently in the mood for it. I knew Kaidon would have offered to help if he could, but cooking wasn’t really his forte.“Hey! I was cuddling him!” Kaidon’s playful protest echoed

    Kaidon's POVZarek’s rage had startled all of us who witnessed it, including Astrid, who had been in the hallway, and Sage, who had heard it from upstairs."What did you do that got him to be comfortable enough to yell at you?" Axel asked, sounding both impressed and terrified.My jaw dropped in shock at how aggressive my usually timid mate had become. "I don’t think he was necessarily comfortable,” I mumbled, sitting at the kitchen table. "I think he just finally reached a breaking point.""You should go check on him," Astrid suggested, walking to the kitchen and sitting across from me. "He's probably panicking and thinking you're going to hurt him.""He’s gotten a bit more confidence in the last few hours."Astrid was taken aback. "How?""I cried in front of him."Axel cleared her throat, pulling attention to herself. "Whether or not he gained a bit more confidence, he was terrified and then livid. I wouldn’t be surprised if he lost all the confidence and strength he felt earlier,”

    Kaidon's POV I nearly attacked when I saw the wolf emerge from the woods in front of me. My heart raced. I had howled in warning when I began searching, hoping for a response. I was hoping Zarek would recognize my call and would howl back.Just moments before, I had heard a response, but it sounded frantic. That terrified me. I immediately ordered all my warriors to follow that howl through the mind link.Then the wolf appeared. The hair on the back of my neck stood on end. My lips pulled back into a snarl. But when the wolf dropped to the ground and rolled onto his back, everything changed.That’s when I caught the scent of my mate. The white-blonde fur rolled over on the ground, and I could see the series of bite marks on his front leg. There were missing tufts of fur and claw marks all over his back. I knew it was him—Zarek.Relief flooded through me, and I released a reassuring bark at the smaller wolf, signaling that I recognized and accepted him.When Zarek rolled over and limp

    Kegan's POVWhen I woke up the next morning, a cold sense of dread gripped my chest. It was as if my mind couldn't shake the thought that something terrible was about to happen. The idea that someone had infiltrated the strongest pack in the country to kidnap a prisoner—someone who’d been restrained, yes—but still, that fear weighed on me. The idea was terrifying.I turned to find Calix still snoring softly beside me. A slight smile tugged at my lips as I watched him, and for a brief moment, I felt a strange comfort in the simple sound of his breathing. But that feeling quickly faded, replaced by the gnawing anxiety in my gut. I carefully slipped out of bed, pulling on a pair of sweatpants and ignoring the thought of wearing a shirt. It wasn’t like I had time for that.I walked into the kitchen, surprised but pleased to see Zara standing in front of the stove, her long hair tied up in a messy bun, with Akiri practically attached to her back. It was early, and I didn’t expect to see th

    Zarek’s POVThe prison within the Blood Moon pack caught me off guard. It was more appealing than several places I had resided in during my time with other packs. Those memories were not something I preferred to think about, yet they surfaced regardless.I held Kaidon's hand firmly, my anxiety overwhelming me. My heart raced as we approached the small interrogation chamber. Confronting the individual who had assaulted me—someone I had never met—made my chest constrict with dread.Sage followed closely behind us, his eyes scanning the surroundings as if he anticipated another attack. Although he didn't know me well, his dedication to safeguarding me was evident as a warrior and an Alpha of this pack.“Through this way,” Kaidon stated, shattering the silence. He opened the door to the building and guided us into a modest room. “He’s inside.”I inhaled deeply, attempting to calm my nerves, and nodded. I momentarily tightened my grip on Kaidon's hand before releasing it. I didn’t want to

    Zarek's POV Do you think Sage is going to be okay?” I asked, my voice soft as we walked back through the town. I was trying to get Kaidon to calm down before we got too close to other people. He was still being overtly protective, his body tense like a coiled spring.Kaidon shrugged, his lips pressing into a thin line. “I don’t know. I hope he gets something out of this. Sage is strange for an Alpha. Unless his wolf takes over, like when you first met him, he’s very non-confrontational. Honestly, he acts more like a Beta or even an Omega with how calm and laid-back he usually is. Before you showed up, he and Astrid were the peacemakers in the pack house,” he explained, his voice softening as he spoke about his friend.I frowned, trying to piece that together. “How is he a top warrior if he acts like an Omega?” I asked, my curiosity getting the better of me.Kaidon chuckled, a sound that warmed me despite my confusion. “Love, we don’t care about biological status here. If an Omega wan

    Zarek's POV I woke up with a jolt, Aegis's voice ringing loudly in my head."Get up! Now!" he ordered, making me sit up abruptly, groggily pulling away from Kaidon’s warm embrace."Why are you just lying there?! Go!" Aegis barked, his tone sharp and urgent.I blinked a few times, the haze of sleep still heavy. "What’re you going on about?" I mumbled, yearning to curl back into Kaidon's arms and drift off again.Aegis growled, his frustration palpable. "Astrid's wolf contacted me! She’s going into labor, and Axel is on patrol tonight! She won’t make it back in time!” His voice was frantic, panic evident.My heart sank, the gravity of the situation hitting me. Astrid needed help, and fast. My heat was still a few weeks away, and Kaidon and I had decided we’d mate during that time. But until then, I couldn’t use the pack link and had to rely on Aegis or stay close to a packmate.Scrambling out of bed, my sudden movement stirred Kaidon. He blinked up at me, his voice groggy.

    Kaidon's POV I raised my sword as soon as Slade called for the fight to begin, stepping into the battle circle with Ryker standing about ten feet across from me. We were both circling each other, neither of us making the first move. The tension in the air was thick, and I could feel the eyes of both packs on us, waiting for the inevitable clash.I wondered what Ryker was thinking right now. He always had that smug look on his face, but now it was laced with something darker. He was trying to provoke me, and I could feel it.“I wonder what you're thinking right now,” Ryker said, his smirk widening as he took a step closer to me. “I know what I’m thinking—about how hard I’m going to fuck my Omega when this is all over.”My anger flared, but I kept it in check, hoping to provoke him into making the first move. “Funny you say that,” I shot back, trying to hide the venom in my voice. “From what I’ve heard, your Omega, your mate, is dead.”Ryker’s smirk faded instantly, and I could see the

    Kaidon’s POV"Come on, defeat me!" Kane roared, his voice shifting into a growl as his body contorted. His bones cracked, reshaping as thick fur spread across his skin. In a matter of seconds, he had shifted into his wolf form—a massive beast with razor-sharp fangs. He lunged at me with terrifying speed. I barely had time to react before he knocked the short sword right out of my grip. The blade clattered to the ground, and before I could even think about retrieving it, Kane stood in front of it, his chest rising and falling with controlled breaths. His sharp canines gleamed under the moonlight as he grinned at me in his wolf form. "Ryker will have your head in thirty seconds!" he taunted. "Stop talking!" I snapped, trying to focus. But Kane wasn’t done messing with me. He circled me like a predator sizing up its prey, his piercing eyes locked onto me as if he was calculating his next move. His muscles coiled, ready to strike. "Focus, then!" he barked through the mind-link,

    Kaidon's POV After a long day of training, all I wanted was to get home. My body ached from the drills, and my mind was already occupied with thoughts of my mate, Zarek. He still had a few months left in his pregnancy, but it was torture leaving him alone for so long. Every moment away from him felt like I was missing something important. The pack house buzzed with activity—parents collecting their pups, warriors discussing patrols—but I didn’t see Zarek anywhere in the room. A frown formed between my brows as I scanned the area. I stopped Astrid on her way out. "Have you seen Zarek?" She nodded. “He’s in his room with Andre and Leo, watching movies.” Relief settled in my chest, but I didn’t waste any more time. I strode toward our room, eager to see him. When I stepped inside, I found the two pups sprawled out on the bed, their faces illuminated by the glow of the television. But my mate wasn’t there. “Have you two seen Luna Zarek?” I asked, drawing their attention away fr

    Zarek's POV Days passed, and despite the weight of the situation, we were no closer to uncovering the full extent of Ryker's business within our pack. There had been no attacks or ambushes, and for the moment, everyone was safe. The pack had been vigilant, constantly checking on everyone, making sure we all knew our place, making sure we were where we needed to be.The outside world had gone quiet, as expected. Everyone had been ordered to stay inside unless they were warriors. The warriors had set up camp just outside the pack house and in the center of the village, ready to spring into action if the need arose. I couldn't help but feel a little restless. I was used to more action, more of a sense of purpose. But right now, all we had was waiting. In the midst of all this, Kegan and Astrid had turned the pack house into a makeshift daycare for the pups. It was a good way to keep the little ones occupied while their parents patrolled or trained. And they had even made rooms available

    Kaidon's POV"We're under attack!" Axel screamed through the pack link into my mind.My heart skipped a beat as I shot up from beside my confused mate. Fear surged through me—panic, terror, the feeling of dread that something was terribly wrong. I couldn’t shift with Corban silent in my head, but I couldn’t just let my pack fight their battles for me. My role wasn’t to stand on the sidelines.“What’s wrong?” Zarek asked, looking at me in horror. His voice was filled with disbelief as his eyes locked onto mine.“Have you seen who’s attacking us?” I asked, my voice shaking slightly despite my efforts to remain calm. I moved quickly, locking the windows and scooping Zarek into my arms, rushing him to our walk-in closet. I laid him down gently, trying to hide him away from any potential threat. “How many are there?”“Kaidon! What’s going on?” Zarek’s voice was laced with worry.I didn’t answer right away. Axel and Astrid burst into the room, their two pups, Andre and Leo, trailing behind

  • I Am The Alpha's Savior    Chapter 57

    Zarek's POV I woke up to a cold room. I didn’t open my eyes right away. Instead, I kept them closed, feeling around for a blanket. The air smelled like Kaidon, and I didn’t feel uncomfortable, so I convinced myself I was in my own room. But there was still that nagging confusion in the back of my mind, wondering why I was so cold.“Kaidon?” I whispered, but my voice barely escaped. It was almost like the words were stuck in my throat. My stomach felt tight when I realized there were hands gently resting there. The surprise hit me, and I gasped softly, trying to push the sensation away.I opened my eyes and saw Kaidon leaning against the wall, nervously biting his nails. The doctor was still hovering near me, her hands moving around my stomach with that careful, clinical precision.I remembered the conversation I had with Sage earlier, but I was holding onto hope that the doctor was finding out that I was okay—that everything was going to be fine. There was no way I could have been in

    Zarek's POV I had never seen Sage look so distraught. His hands were shackled to the cold ground, the chains tight, leaving him barely any space to move. His neck was adorned with a thick collar, and I couldn’t help but notice the red marks around it—his attempts to rip it off were clearly unsuccessful. It looked like pure torture.“What's on his neck?” I whispered, looking up at Kaidon with a horrified expression.I couldn’t believe it. Sage was supposed to be a warrior, strong and fierce, but now he looked like he was on the edge of breaking. This was wrong. I had never imagined seeing one of our own treated like this, especially not Sage. I always thought he'd be able to handle anything thrown at him, but this was pure cruelty.Kaidon growled at Sage, a deep, guttural sound that filled the room. He wasn’t fazed by the state of the prisoner. "It overpowers his senses and weakens him. He can’t talk through any form of mind link or shift," Kaidon said coldly, making my jaw drop. I f

    Kaidon's POVIt had been a month since Sage, Lyra, and Kane had been arrested and taken into custody. They refused to speak with anybody but Zarek and me, but I avoided them completely. Honestly, I was just plain scared I would snap the minute I even got close. I didn't trust myself enough not to kill them on the spot.The pack house had never felt so tense. There was no hum of activity, just silence, anger hanging heavy in the air. It weighed on everyone, even the children, who were too afraid to leave their parents' rooms. Even Astrid barely left her room, the anger in the house making everyone tense, as if the slightest spark could set off an explosion.Zarek hadn't been much better. He hadn't been out of his room much, either, but for different reasons. The pregnancy was exhausting him. His stomach was getting heavier with each passing day; the pups inside were becoming more and more demanding. He left the room only when it was highly necessary-to visit me in my office, to get some

    Zarek's POV I barely stopped Kaidon from storming out of the room. “What’s going on? Kaidon, you need to talk to me,” I said, stepping in front of the door. “I don’t understand what you're saying. And if there’s an enemy in our land, calling a meeting will chase them away!”Kaidon shook his head, his focus entirely on the door. He was trying to move me out of the way. “It’s not safe here unless we find out who’s infiltrated!” he growled, reaching for the doorknob.Without warning, I surged forward, throwing myself into Kaidon’s arms. His body crashed to the ground, and I straddled him, holding him tightly so he couldn’t get up without taking me with him.“Let go,” Kaidon growled.I shook my head stubbornly, pressing my face against his neck. “No,” I murmured, feeling him relax a bit, but then tense back up. “I need you to explain what’s going on to me. Please, I can help.”“Fine,” Kaidon mumbled, standing up and lifting me off him before depositing me on the bed. His eyes stayed glue
