ATLAS’S POV

“Alpha, everything is in place. My father made a few calls to his old alpha friends, and they agreed to the alliance. 

They’ll help protect each other's borders from rogue attacks and greedy packs,” my best friend, Axel, who’s acting as my beta, reported to me.

“Buddy, you know I hate it when you call me Alpha,” I said with a hint of annoyance and he chuckled.

“You’re my Alpha, Atlas, and I have to give you the respect you deserve,” he replied.

I shook my head, disagreeing. “You’re my equal, Axel you are an alpha too. This formality is unnecessary.” 

“We’re getting late for training,” he said, smoothly changing the subject. 

I respected his need to avoid talking about his past, which always made him uncomfortable. 

As soon as my wolf heard the word "training," he started pacing excitedly. 

He wasn’t thrilled about the training itself but about seeing our mate, the only woman destined for us. But sadly, she couldn’t feel the mate bond yet because she wasn’t of age. 

The moment we reached the training ground, her scent hit me, fresh and intoxicating.

 I looked over to see her laughing as she took down one of our best warriors. Kaida was an incredible fighter and had a kind heart. 

Everyone in the pack adored her, and seeing her in a good mood made me happy. 

What didn’t make me happy was the way the male wolves were staring at her. Her body, toned and graceful, drew their attention, and my wolf growled in frustration. 

Jason, one of her closest male friends, was the worst of them. “Hey, baby girl, how about taking on the three best warriors of the pack?” he challenged, a smirk on his face. 

She was about to accept the challenge when my wolf surged forward, growling in Jason's direction.

 My wolf couldn’t stand the thought of any other man touching her, even in a fight. She was ours, even if she didn’t know it yet.

“Who upset the Alpha now?” Jason whispered to Kaida, though I could still hear him. 

“Maybe one of his girls,” Kaida replied casually. Her words stung more than I cared to admit. 

The only impression she had of me was that I was a womanizer. And to be fair, that wasn’t entirely wrong. I had been, up until the moment I realized she was my mate. 

Yes, I used to sleep with any woman who made herself available, but since Kaida came into my life, that had changed. Not that anyone knew that, least of all her.

Our eyes met across the field, and I knew she had heard my growl. 

After giving instructions to the others, I called her to fight me instead of the other men. Fighting her wasn’t the smartest idea, given the mate bond, but I couldn’t resist. I needed to be close to her, to feel her energy.

“Hurt by one of my girls, huh? Are you jealous?” I whispered in her ear as we circled each other. 

I saw her tense up at my words. She responded quickly, “Why would I be?” She was tough, but her punches felt fiercer than I had expected. 

I barely defended myself, letting her get in a few hits, one on my jaw, another to my side. She was powerful, but my wolf wouldn’t allow me to hurt her, even in training. 

Despite my efforts to hide it, some of the pack noticed I was holding back. 

After the session, Axel approached me, clearly irritated. “What’s going on with you and my sister, man?” he demanded.

“Nothing, Axel,” tI lied, brushing him off and heading to my chambers. I couldn’t tell him what was happening, he wouldn’t understand.

Later, after a quick shower, I was drying off when Akira barged into my room With tears in her eyes.

My gaze locked onto Akira. A hint of warmth softened my expression.

"Akira, what brings you here?"

She drifted closer, her hips swaying. "I'm concerned about Kaida. She's been... problematic."

My brow furrowed. "What do you mean?"

Akira's voice dripped with malice. "She's been challenging the authority, questioning your decisions. I fear she's becoming a threat to pack stability."

"Heard her and her friends talking about your training methods," she said

My expression darkened. "are you sure?"

"yes, alpha." 

"I will talk to her," I said.

Akira's smile grew wider. "I think it's more than just a conversation, Alpha. Kaida needs to be reminded of her place."

Akira looked at me as if I was a piece of meat, She tried to remove the towel wrapped around my waist.

"What are you doing?" I snapped, The last thing I needed was Akira in my room, especially with Kaida on my mind.

“I came to see my man,” she said, her eyes lingering on my body. She licked her lips, making it clear what she wanted.

I immediately regretted getting myself entangled with her. I used to like her, and we've had sex a couple of times but not anymore; ever since I found my mate, I no longer want to have anything to do with her.

Even though her parents and my grandmother, one of the two surviving blood relatives I have, made an agreement to choose her as my Luna, I began to have a change of mind the moment I found my mate.

“Correction. I’m not your man, and you’re not my mate. Now get out of my room,” I said firmly

“Whether I am your mate or not you agreed to the arrangement to make me the Luna of this pack or should I inform my dad?”

 Instead of leaving, she wrapped her arms around my waist, refusing to let go. I pushed her hands away, and in response, she began to undress, right there in front of me.

At that exact moment, the door swung open, and Kaida walked in.

The hurt and surprise in her eyes tore me apart. My heart shattered at the thought of her misunderstanding this.

“Kaida, this isn’t what it looks like!” I rushed toward her, desperate to explain. But she kept her composure. 

“I'm Sorry, Alpha. Dad sent me to call you for dinner,” she said, her voice calm but distant.

Kaida’s father had helped in raising me after my parents were killed in an attack. He helped me take over the pack at a young age, and we often had family dinners together. But Kaida’s eyes gave her away, she was hurt.

She left immediately after delivering the message, and I stood there, helpless. 

I wanted to go after her, to explain everything, but I realized I was still only in a towel. 

Fuming, I turned to Akira. “Get out. And don’t ever come near my room again,” I growled, grabbing her arm and dragging her toward the door.

“Is this because of that slut, Kaida?” she spat venomously. 

I grabbed her by the jaw, forcing her to look me in the eyes. 

“Call her that again, and you’ll see why they call me a monster,” I warned her, my voice low and deadly. I shoved her out of my room without another word.

This wasn’t the first time Kaida had caught me with a woman, and I feared it wouldn’t be the last because of my past. But this time, it was different. 

She was my mate, and if she ever found out, there was a chance she’d reject me. 

I was caught between my mate and Akira, the girl I agreed to make my Luna in exchange for having an alliance with her father’s pack.

That thought terrified me more than anything else. I needed to talk to her before it was too late.

    Kaida's povI helped my father serve dinner. "Kaida, is something wrong?" my father asked, sensing my emotions. "Dad, I'm alright," I replied, forcing a smile. Inside, I was questioning myself. Why did I feel betrayed when I saw the Alpha and Akira? Just then, Alpha Atlas walked into the dining room, carrying with him an unmistakably powerful aura. Yet, as soon as our eyes met, I felt myself getting lost in his captivating gaze, those beautiful eyes pulling me in once again."Alpha, you're here. Please, take a seat," my father said, breaking our gaze and returning me to reality. Alpha Atlas settled into the chair opposite mine. My dad and my brother Axel started chatting with him about pack matters, their laughter and cheer filling the room, while I found myself absent-mindedly playing with the fork in my hand, barely listening. "Kaida, you’re not eating. Is everything alright with you?" Axel asked, a touch of concern in his voice. My father added, "Don't you like the food

His scent was strong and alluring.Instinctively, I stepped back, feeling his imposing presence as he towered over me. “Are you okay?” he asked gently, and I nodded. ”can I talk to you?” he asked, “you are already talking to me alpha or are you here to continue with what you couldn't finish with Akira?” I asked teasingly."You're irresistible, naughty girl," he whispered, his warm breath caressing my skin. His lips danced along my neck, sending shivers down my spine."We can continue this in my chamber if you want to," he murmured, his voice husky with desire.I shook my head, “you are such a player, Do your pack members know how naughty their alpha is” I whispered. “No my love” he replied laughing “Look, Kaida,” he began, “what you saw in my room was a misunderstanding.

    Kaida’s pov "Kaida, we're running late for training!" my brother’s voice echoed through the hallway.I quickly sprang up from my bed, my heart racing with urgency. "Oh no, I'm going to be late!" I muttered to myself, rushing to the bathroom to quickly wash up. As a werewolf, my pack members had an uncanny ability to sniff out even the slightest change in a scent, including my arousal. I couldn't afford to draw unnecessary attention to myself, especially not today. Last night's encounter was still fresh in my mind. I couldn’t help but feel a flutter in my chest as I thought about the mysterious stranger who had pleasured me the night before.As I washed the slippery liquid in between my legs, I couldn’t help but smile. My secret lover had a way of making me feel alive and desired. "Can't wait to see you tonight, sunshine. Remember to wear the blindfold and be ready for me." a message popped up on my phone.A sly smile spread across my face as I read the words. It was so unreal.

    Atlas's POV I was in my office, focused on reviewing the income and expenditure reports for the pack over the past week. The numbers had to be precise, and I took pride in managing every detail that kept our pack thriving. Suddenly, a mind link interrupted my thoughts. “Alpha, Alpha Logan and his beta are here to see you,” One of the border guards reported. “Tell them to come to my office,” I replied, feeling a flicker of curiosity. Alpha Logan was the head of Oakwood Pack—and Akira’s father. His arrival was unexpected, and it puzzled me that he hadn’t informed me before crossing into our territory. As I waited, I caught their scent growing stronger, signalling they were approaching my office. Just as I was to greet them, the door swung open without a knock. Alpha Logan strode in with his beta. I frowned. The lack of respect in that simple act sparked irritation in me. I might be nineteen, but I was an alpha—a recognized one, respected and even feared by others. I

    Atlas POV It had always been my dream to find my mate, make her my Luna, and rule the pack together, bound by love. But Alpha Logan’s words lingered in my mind, tugging at a part of me I couldn’t ignore. Maybe he was right—maybe attachments could weaken a leader. Still, it felt wrong. The future I’d imagined seemed to slip further away. Not long after he left, Akira burst into my office with a bright, self-assured smile. “My love, when are you setting the date for our ceremony?” she asked, her voice laced with excitement. Her words hit me hard, and I could feel a deep unease settle over me. How could I move forward with this when Kaida was my mate? Yet, I couldn’t make her my Luna because of a deal I’d made in desperation to protect the pack. “Alpha, you haven’t answered my question,” she pressed, her tone now teasing as if daring me to avoid her. “What did you say again?” I asked, hiding my frustration. “When are you going to announce the date of our marriage and offici

    Kaida’s POV Throughout training, I tried to focus, to let the rhythm of my movements drown out the thoughts racing through my mind. But every time I blinked, the same image flooded back—Atlas and Akira, hand in hand, her clinging to him as if he belonged to her. My heart twisted painfully at the memory, each second stretching as I relived it over and over. t was ridiculous to feel this way, I told myself. But no matter how many times I swung my blade or threw a punch, I couldn’t shake the feeling that a part of me had cracked open. I was the warrior of this pack. I wasn’t supposed to feel so weak. And yet, just one look at them had left me breathless, my confidence shaken. Could he really have feelings for her? didn't he tell me he had nothing doing with her? The thought clawed at me, leaving an ache in my chest. I threw a punch harder than necessary, letting the impact send a tremor up my arm. Maybe this was foolish. Maybe I was letting my heart get ahead of me. But in t

    kaida's pov As I lost myself in the music, feeling the warmth of the alcohol easing away my worries, I let my body move freely, swaying my waist and showing off a few dance moves I hadn’t pulled out in a while. I was fully in the moment, laughing with my friends, when I suddenly felt a strong presence behind me. A hand slipped gently around my waist, and I glanced over my shoulder to find none other than Alpha Miguel. Known as one of the most respectable alphas and admired by many, he was a little older than Atlas but every bit as captivating. The confidence in his gaze and the warmth in his smile was enough to make any she-wolf feel noticed. I returned his smile, feeling a spark of excitement. He leaned in close, his breath warm against my ear as he whispered, "how I wish you were my mate." The words caught me off guard, and I turned to look at him, surprised yet flattered. “You’re a great person, Alpha Miguel,” I replied with a playful smile. “I’m sure you’ll find that lucky

    Kaida’s POV I turned to him, feeling frustration bubbling up inside. “And why does that bother you so much, huh? You don’t get to decide who I dance with.” Atlas clenched his jaw, his gaze smouldering. “Kaida, I don’t want anyone else touching you.” His words hung between us, raw and powerful, and before I could process what was happening, he reached out, cupping my jaw with his hand. In one fierce movement, his lips were on mine, the kiss consuming and intense, as if he’d been holding back for too long. My mind raced, struggling to make sense of what was happening. Why was Alpha Atlas kissing me? I’d dreamed of a moment like this, but something about the kiss felt strangely familiar—the way his hand held my face, the warmth of his body, the tension between us. It was almost like being kissed by my mysterious man. Or maybe I was just fooling myself. Maybe he was the only man I’d ever kissed, and that’s why everything felt so similar. I snapped out of the daze and shoved him a

    Kaida’s POV** The crimson glow of dawn spilled over the treetops, casting long shadows through the dense forest. The chilling words from the letter still echoed in my mind. **She’s still watching.** Seren. Akira’s sister was out there, lurking beneath the cover of night. Waiting. Watching. A ghost clinging to the edges of our fragile peace. I clenched the parchment tighter in my hands, feeling the weight of the threat pressing against my chest. I knew what would come next. She wouldn’t stop until blood had been spilled—mine, Akira’s, or anyone who stood in her way. The packhouse stirred with life as the sun rose higher, warriors sharpening blades and reinforcing the outer walls. The air was heavy with anticipation. They sensed what was coming, even if no one dared speak it aloud. Atlas stood at the edge of the clearing, his golden eyes flicking toward the forest with every breath. His protective instincts surged through the bond between us—strong, unwavering. “She’s

    Kaida’s POVThe first rogue lunged, its yellow eyes flashing in the dim light. The scent of damp earth and blood filled the clearing as Atlas’s wolf met the attack midair, a snarl ripping through the night. The battle erupted around us—claws slashing, teeth snapping. My heart pounded against my ribs, but I forced myself to stay **steady**. I had led them here. Now I had to **survive.** Akira was at my side, her breath ragged, eyes flicking through the shadows. I felt every wolf watching her—waiting for her to turn against us. But she didn’t. Not yet. “Hold the line!” I shouted, my voice cutting through the chaos. Crescent Moon warriors moved as one, forming a protective ring around the packhouse. Every muscle in my body screamed to fight—to prove I could protect them. But I couldn’t lose sight of what this battle was really about. Gregor. I scanned the clearing, searching the shadows for his yellow eyes. My claws curled at my sides, aching for revenge. Atlas’s

    Kaida’s POVThe crimson letters glared back at me from the parchment in my trembling hands. The words, carved in jagged strokes, echoed through my mind like a curse. *You spared one. But mercy always has a price.* The message smelled of blood—fresh, sharp, and deliberate. Whoever had sent it wanted me to know they were close. Behind me, Atlas’s breath fanned hot against my neck, his golden eyes fixed on the letter. His wolf’s growl rumbled low in his chest, vibrating through the tense silence of the room. “This is a threat,” he snarled, his voice dangerously low. I swallowed hard, folding the parchment slowly. My fingers trembled, but I forced them steady. “It’s a promise.” Atlas’s growl deepened, his wolf brushing dangerously close to the surface. “You should have killed her, Kaida.” His words sliced through me sharper than any blade, but I refused to flinch. “I know.” I stood at the center of the war room, the map of Shadowcrest spread across the table. The fli

    Kaida’s POVThe moon hung high over **Shadowcrest**, casting cold silver light through the cracks in the packhouse walls. The scouts' message echoed in my mind like a haunting whisper. **Gregor… traitor.** I stood at the war table, my fingers tracing the map spread beneath flickering candlelight. The northern ridge was marked in red—where the rogues had been spotted gathering. The betrayal cut deeper than any wound I had ever endured. Atlas paced behind me, his golden eyes **dark and unreadable.** His wolf was close—too close—but he kept his rage bottled beneath the surface. Axel leaned against the wall, arms crossed, his sharp blue gaze flicking between us. “We trusted him,” Axel said bitterly. “He fought with us. He bled for us.” I swallowed hard, the betrayal pressing heavy on my chest. “He’s bleeding for someone else now.” Atlas’s low growl rumbled through the room, shaking the air around us. His fists clenched at his sides, the veins in his arms pulsing beneath hi

  • My warrior mate's forbidden desire   Chapter 119

    Kaida’s POVThe sun was barely above the horizon when the whispers started again. The wolves of Shadowcrest watched Akira’s every step—**waiting for her to snap.** I felt their eyes following us as I led Akira toward the packhouse. Their doubt clung to the air like smoke, thick and suffocating. Atlas walked a few steps behind, his golden eyes never leaving Akira’s back. His wolf prowled just beneath the surface, barely contained. I couldn't blame him. I wasn’t sure if I trusted her either. The courtyard was crowded as wolves gathered to rebuild what the last battle had stolen from them. They paused as we passed, their whispered suspicions prickling at the edge of my hearing. “She should have killed her.” “Mercy will get us all killed.” “She’s protecting a traitor.” I clenched my fists, forcing myself to keep walking. They didn’t understand. They saw mercy as **weakness.** But I saw something they couldn’t—**a chance to break the cycle.** Akira’s head remained

    Kaida’s POV** The moon hung heavy in the sky, casting silver streaks over the dense forest. Each breath I took tasted of cold earth and lingering tension. The message Akira had left behind weighed on my heart, and now I stood face-to-face with her beneath the canopy of stars. Her dark eyes flickered with hatred—sharp, dangerous, but beneath it all, **broken.** "You should have killed me when you had the chance," she hissed, her voice as brittle as the wind that whistled through the trees. I felt Atlas’s presence behind me, his wolf pacing just beneath his skin, ready to tear through anyone who threatened me. His golden eyes burned into Akira, but he stayed back—**letting me lead this fight.** I clenched my fists, my claws digging into my palms. "I spared you because I know what revenge does to a soul," I said, keeping my voice steady. Akira’s bitter smile twisted across her lips. "And what has mercy done for you, Luna? Made you weak?" Her words cut deep, slicing thro

    Kaida’s POV The message burned in my hands—its jagged letters carved into the parchment like a scar that refused to fade. *You should have killed me when you had the chance.* Akira’s voice echoed in my head, a chilling reminder that mercy always came with a price. Atlas’s warm breath fanned against my neck as he read the message over my shoulder. His golden eyes darkened, his wolf stirring beneath the surface. “She’s taunting you,” he growled, his fingers brushing against mine to take the letter. I clenched my jaw, trying to steady the tremble in my hands. “She’s waiting.” Atlas’s muscles tensed behind me, his chest rising and falling with slow, controlled breaths. “Then let her wait,” he said, his voice low and dangerous. I wanted to believe him—to pretend that Akira’s words were nothing more than hollow threats. But I couldn’t. Not when I had seen the **hatred in her eyes.** Not when I had spared her life—**twice.** I paced the length of the council chambe

  • My warrior mate's forbidden desire   Chapter 115

    Kaida’s POVThe morning sun spilled over Shadowcrest, casting warm streaks of gold across the rebuilding village. The scent of pine and damp earth filled the air, mixing with the distant crackle of fires as warriors repaired the damaged walls. The world outside seemed to be stitching itself back together… But inside, I still felt like I was balancing on the edge of **something fragile.** Atlas’s arm rested around my waist, his golden eyes scanning the horizon as if he expected the shadows to rise again. He hadn’t let me out of his sight since we returned. Part of me wanted to push him away—prove that I could stand on my own. But another part—the part I hated admitting even to myself—**needed him close.** “You’re watching me again,” I murmured, breaking the silence. Atlas’s fingers tightened on my hip. “You almost died, Kaida.” I glanced up, meeting the storm brewing behind his gaze. “I’m still here.” His jaw clenched, but he didn’t argue. Instead, he leaned d

    Kaida’s POV The sun cast long shadows across the courtyard as the news of the rogue camp settled over Shadowcrest like a dark cloud. The air felt **thicker**, every breath weighted with the knowledge that our **peace was temporary. Atlas’s fingers remained wrapped around mine, his grip firm as if he feared I might disappear if he let go. I had spared Akira. Now she was waiting—building something in the shadows. I wanted to believe that mercy had been the right choice. But mercy didn’t stop a blade from finding your heart. I stood beside Axel and Atlas in the war room, the map of our borders spread across the table. Small black markers dotted the northern ridge—**rogue sightings reported by scouts.** “She's gathering more wolves,” Axel murmured, his blue eyes sharp. “It’s only a matter of time before she attacks.” Atlas’s jaw clenched beside me, his golden eyes never leaving the map. “She’s testing us,” he said coldly. “Waiting to see if we’ll come for her… or let her
