Not Today, Alphas! Something Is Wrong: Mother!
Chapter 42: Something Is Wrong: Mother!Samuel~We had left the castle behind us, with our footsteps muffling by the thick underbrush of the forest. I couldn’t shake the nagging feeling in my chest. Something was off about this entire situation.Eris walked just ahead of me, her shoulders were stiff, avoiding my gaze. Every now and then, she’d glance at Kaya, then quickly look away as if guilty of something. What the hell happened between them? I could smell his scent all over her. Drax also stirred inside me, he was restless.‘There’s a possibility that Eris spent the night with him...’ Drax growled in my mind. I clenched my fists. Did they...? No. Eris wasn’t the type to fall into someone’s arms after just one night. At least, I didn’t think she was. But then again, everything felt so uncertain now.I glanced at Kaya. He had that smug grin on his face, the kind that made me want to knock his teeth in. And Eris... she wouldn’t even meet his eyes. What the hell was going on?With
Not Today, Alphas! Goodbye, Mom
Chapter 43 : Goodbye, Mom Eris ~I couldn’t breathe. It felt like the air had been stolen from my lungs, ripped out along with everything that once kept me alive. My legs buckled, but I forced myself to stay upright. I wouldn’t fall. Not now. Not yet. Not in front of him."Mom," I whispered, but it came out broken, strangled. It didn’t sound like my voice. It didn’t feel like me anymore.Her body—no, no, it wasn’t real—just lay there, still. I waited for her to move, to blink, to breathe. But she didn’t. I reached out, my hand trembled, barely brushing her skin. It was cold. So cold.“Mom!” I screamed inside, but the words didn’tI screamed inside, but no sound came out. My throat was tight, my chest felt like it was being crushed. I wanted to shake her, to wake her up, but I knew it wouldn’t work. She was gone.My hands trembled as I pulled her closer, hugging her body to mine. Her warmth was gone. All that was left was the cold, the awful cold. I pressed my face against her,
Not Today, Alphas! Through My Lungs
Chapter 44 : Through My LungsEris~His words sent a shiver down my spine, but they awakened something else inside me…something raw, untamed. Seven spoke in a low voice. ‘Let me out, Eris. Let me tear him apart.’ Her tone was more than a suggestion; it was a command.I closed my eyes, feeling the familiar pull, the way my bones itched to shift, to become something stronger, faster. I couldn’t let him take me. Not like this. Not while Samuel and Kaya were being torn apart.“Fine,” I muttered steadily.“What was that?” Darius asked, yanking me harder.“You want me to fight?” I said louder, my lips curled into a smile. “Then let’s fight!”In an instant, I shifted. Fur exploded from my skin, my bones cracked and twisted, and I became the wolf. I became Seven.Darius barely had time to react before I lunged at him with bared fangs. I sank my teeth into his shoulder, drawing blood. “Arghh!” He roared in pain, but I didn’t stop. I slashed at him with my claws, swiping at his chest, his
Not Today, Alphas! We’ve Lost Her
Kaya ~I don’t know what I was thinking. Was I too ignorant, believing I could defeat an entire clan on my own? Too greedy to think I could protect Eris and make her mine forever?It took me and Samuel twenty-four hours just to get up and start looking for her. We had no choice. Our legs were weak, our necks still bleeding, covered in dried blood. Every breath was shaky, but we only had one goal—to save Eris.Darius hadn’t faced me directly again since the last time we fought. He knew better. But he had the upper hand now. He had her. How did he know we were in his territory? How did he find out we were going to save Eris’s mother?Eris…We had buried her mother. It wasn’t a proper burial for a Luna, but it was the best we could do. It was better than leaving her there, exposed, to be taken by crows and letting rot on the ground.“I’m sorry, Eris,” I whispered into the night. “We failed. I failed.”“Keep going. I can smell her. She’s near.”Samuel’s voice destroyed the silence. Hi
Not Today, Alphas! Declaring War Against Darius
Chapter 46 ; Declaring War Against DariusSamuel~We buried Eris next to her mother. The soil felt heavy, like it was pulling at my soul as we covered her. At least now, they could be together—forever. But the ache in my chest didn’t ease. Nothing could ease this.Kaya stood across from me with a blank face, but I could see the storm raging behind his eyes. Neither of us said a word. We didn’t need to. The silence said it all—we had failed her.I wiped the dirt from my hands, my body was numb from exhaustion and grief. I was ready to leave. Ready to go home. What else was there to do? She was gone.All I could think about was mourning her in silence, away from all this madness.“I’m taking her home,” I said quietly, breaking the stillness. The words tasted bitter in my mouth. “To my kingdom. We would give her a proper funeral, with my people.”Kaya’s head snapped up, his eyes narrowed immediately. “No, Samuel. She stays here. She belongs with her mother, and with my people.”I cl
Not Today, Alphas! You Took My Everything
Chapter 47: You Took My EverythingDarius~I barely got the words out before Augustin’s hand slammed down on the table between us, his eyes narrowed into slits. His jaw tightened, so rigid I thought he might snap. The air in the room was like a fog, thick with tension, anger was coming off of him like heat from a wildfire."You killed her," he snarled in a low voice. "You killed her right in front of Eris! Julie’s blood is on your hands, Darius!" He slammed his fist again, harder this time, the wood cracked beneath his fingers.I met his eyes, heart pounded faster, but I refused to flinch. I wouldn’t give him that satisfaction to make me look weaker and scared in front of him.“She’s dead because of you!” His voice climbed higher now, trembling from rage and grief. "And Eris? You brought her back half-dead…do you even see what you’ve done?"I clenched my fists, nails dug into my palms. “I did what I had to do, Father. You don't understand. This was—”“Understand?” Augustin’s eyes bl
Not Today, Alphas! You Slut!
Chapter 48 : You Slut!Darius~The stone hallway leading to Eris’s room felt longer than usual, every step was into eternity. I could feel Hunter inside me, his claws scratching against my mind.‘She’s waiting for you,’ he whispered in a usually wild and untamed voice.The door to Eris’s room loomed ahead, heavy and cold like this whole damned castle. I gripped the handle, feeling a twisted excitement rise in me. She was chained inside, helpless, broken. A perfect little prize.‘She’s ours now,’ Hunter growled in my mind, his words slithered through my thoughts. ‘Take her. Make her beg for you.’I pushed the door open, the creak of it echoed down the hallway behind me. The room was lit only by a single candle on the far side. And there she was, Eris, sitting on the floor, wrists bound to the wall, her eyes half-closed.When she looked up at me, those sharp, defiant eyes of hers still had a spark. But that spark would die soon enough."You can’t run now, Eris," I said softly, closing
Not Today, Alphas! Ghosts Don’t Die
Chapter 49: Ghosts Don’t DieEris~Augustin stood in the doorway…I saw his eyes burn from rage. Darius flinched, freezing in place, pants half undone, but I didn’t. I couldn’t feel anything but disgust, a deep, crawling disgust for both of them.“Get out,” Augustin spat, stepping into the room. He consumed the space like a dark shadow. “Now.”Darius backed away, the look in his eyes almost was frightened like a dog that had just been caught doing something shameful. He didn’t even look at me as he fled from the room, slamming the door behind him.Silence fell, heavy, suffocating...I stared at Augustin…My palms were clammy and I clenched them, not from fear, but anger. Anger that he was here, standing in front of me, alive. He was supposed to be dead. They both were.The pressure built up, the chains around my wrists clicked softly as I moved. “I thought you were dead.”Augustin’s gaze focused on me. It was cold and dismissive. “You should be glad I’m not.”I snorted bitterly. “Gla

Not Today, Alphas! Leina’s Death
Chapter 66 : Leina’s DeathKaya ~ Chapter 65:I was standing at the edge of the square when it happened.Leina was just about to finish the ceremony, about to pass the Luna’s power to Tessa. I watched her closely, the way she moved slowly, the tiredness in her eyes. Something about her seemed off today, but I thought it was just the annoyance of the ceremony.Then, she coughed. It sounded sharp, unnatural.At first, no one reacted. We all thought it was nothing. But then she coughed again, and this time, blood spilled from her mouth.My heart stopped.“Leina!” I shouted, pushing through the crowd. I didn’t think. I just ran.She collapsed before I could reach her. Tessa tried to catch her, but she wasn’t fast enough. Leina hit the ground, hard. I was there a second later, kneeling beside her, my hands started shaking as I reached for her.“Leina, no!” I shouted again in a voice that seemed to lose control.Her body was limp, her skin cold. Blood covered her lips, and it kept coming,
Not Today, Alphas! Luna’s Ceremony
Chapter 65 : Luna’s CeremonyLeina ~The village square was already filling with people by the time I stepped outside. Faces I had known all my life turned to greet me, with their bright smiles, voices filled with warmth.“Luna,” someone called, waving from the crowd.“Good morning, Luna!” another greeted me.I smiled softly and waved back, though my body felt heavier than usual, and my legs ached as I made my way through the crowd. I should have felt stronger today, of all days. It was my last day as Luna, the day I would officially pass on the title to Tessa.But something was wrong. I could feel it deep in my bones. May had been silent for days now. She wasn’t responding to my calls, and it worried me more than I wanted to admit. I tried to push the thought away as I reached the center of the square where the ceremony would take place.The elders were there, already preparing for the official proceedings. Tessa stood beside them, in a stiff posture, nervous energy rolling off he
Not Today, Alphas! He’s Finally Mine
Chapter 64 : He’s Finally MineTessa ~I’ve always loved Kaya.From the first moment I saw him, I knew he was mine. It didn’t matter that he didn’t see it right away. I was patient. I waited. I was loyal. Always loyal.And then he brought her. Eris.Ugly. From some weak pack on the other side of the mountains. She had nothing. No strength, no power. And Kaya, stupid Kaya, paraded her around like she was some kind of treasure.“She’s going to be Luna,” he had said, like that made any sense. I wanted to scream. I wanted to tear her apart.‘You should have,’ Mei snarled in my head. ‘You should’ve ripped her throat out the moment she walked into our pack. She didn’t deserve him.’“I know,” I muttered under my breath. “I should have. But Kaya… he wouldn’t have forgiven me.”‘Who cares about forgiveness? She was nothing. And now look—he’s still mourning her, like she was worth something.’I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms. “She wasn’t worth anything. Not to me. Not to this
Not Today, Alphas! I Will Always Love You
Chapter 63 : I Will Always Love YouKaya ~A few minutes after Tessa left, the door opened again, but this time the smell that filled the room was different—warm, comforting, familiar. Leina.“Kaya,” she said softly and in a gentle voice, as if she knew exactly how fragile I was at that moment. “Can I come in?”I nodded, still staring at the floor. I couldn’t bring myself to look at her just yet. Somehow, everything was crushing me, and I wasn’t sure I could handle one more conversation.But Leina was patient. She always was. I heard her light and soft steps, as she walked over. And then, before I could brace myself, she wrapped her arms around me. Her embrace was warm, and for a moment, I let myself melt into it, letting her hold me together when I felt like I was falling apart.“I’m so sorry, Kaya,” she whispered against my shoulder. “I miss her too.”I swallowed hard, feeling the lump in my throat growing. “It’s like she’s everywhere, Leina. I can’t escape it.”Leina pulled bac
Not Today, Alphas! We Missed Eris
Chapter 62 : Kaya ~It’s been three months since Eris died. Three months, and I still couldn’t wrap my mind around it. The pain felt as fresh as the day it happened, like someone had ripped my heart out and replaced it with a cold, hollow pit.I tried to numb myself, tried to forget, but nothing worked. Everywhere I went, I saw her—heard her laughter, remembered the way her smile could light up a room, how she made everything feel right. But she was gone, and now I was supposed to be preparing for a wedding I didn’t even want.The room felt depressing and everything was pressing down on me. My suit hung on the wardrobe... It felt wrong. I felt wrong. Tessa was supposed to be my bride. She was in the next room, probably preening, getting ready for a life that didn’t belong to her.Kai was anxious too, like he had been for months now. ‘This isn’t right, Kaya,’ he growled angrily. . ‘She’s not meant to be Luna. She can’t carry Leina’s powers. She’s empty. She’s…’I clenched my jaw.
Not Today, Alphas! The Poisonous Throne
Chapter 61: The Poisonous ThroneAugustin~I closed the door to Darius’s chambers, the smile faded from my face the moment I stepped into the dark hallway. That boy had no idea how much he teetered on the edge of failure. He was too blinded by his anger, too easily manipulated by the words of a girl. A mere girl, yet he let her slip through his grasp again and again. Pathetic.But then, weakness ran in the family, didn’t it?I walked down the cold stone corridor, my boots clicked against the floor, echoing in the emptiness. As I rounded the corner, my mind drifted back to where it all started. Eris’s father. The proud, noble alpha who ruled with strength and fairness. A fool, blinded by loyalty and love.“Too trusting,” I whispered, feeling the bile rise in my throat at the thought of him. He never saw it coming, never suspected that his own ally—his friend—was the one poisoning him from the inside.‘He was a fool,’ Hamex growled in my head, his dark tone always brought a bitter t
Not Today, Alphas! The Hunter’s Wrath
Chapter 60: The Hunter’s WrathDarius~The air in my chambers was suffocating me from failure. I paced back and forth, my fists clenched so tightly my knuckles ached. She had escaped again. Again. I slammed my hand against the stone wall, the impact went through my arm, but it did nothing to calm the tornado inside me.“How could this happen?” I growled through gritted teeth. “How could no one find her?”‘Weak,’ Hunter snarled in my mind, rumbling. ‘You let her slip through your fingers. Again.’I could feel him prowling, his claws itched to tear something apart, anything that would make this unbearable feeling of failure go away. He had been restless ever since Eris disappeared into the snow. Every attempt to track her had come up empty, and it was driving both of us to the edge.“She can’t have gone far,” I muttered, though to whom, I wasn’t sure. I raked a hand through my hair, the strands sticking with sweat. “We’ll find her. We have to find her.”‘You better,’ Hunter growled.
Not Today, Alphas! Stranger In The Woods
Chapter 59: The Stranger in the WoodsEris~The cold air nipped at my face as I walked through the woods, my breath came out in small puffs. Snow crunched beneath my boots, and the thick trees around me stood silent, their branches looked heavy with snow. It felt like the world had been swallowed in white, everything so quiet that I could hear my own heartbeat.But something was off.I stopped, my senses suddenly sharpened. There was someone out here. I could feel it. The hair on the back of my neck stood on end, and a low growl rumbled in my throat.‘We’re not alone,’ Seven warned in my head, her voice tensed.I turned, scanning the trees, trying to find the source of the feeling. My eyes locked onto a shadow moving between the trunks. It was quick, but I saw it. My growl grew louder, and I bared my teeth.“Show yourself,” I commanded.A person stepped out from behind the trees. He was tall, wearing a long black cloak that blended into the dark woods. His hood was pulled low over
Not Today, Alphas! The Mark Of Fate
Chapter 58: The Mark of FateEris ~The fire crackled softly in the room as I sat on the edge of the bed, staring down at my hand. There, on my palm, was a bruise like a faint, star-shaped mark. I rubbed at it, hoping it was just from the cold or from clenching my fists too hard earlier, but it didn’t fade. It was as if the bruise had formed with purpose, as if someone—or something—had placed it there.I flexed my fingers, trying to get rid of the feeling crawling up my spine. I had healed quickly from the torture of Darius faster than I should have, even for someone like me. But this bruise… it wasn’t like the others.‘Eris.’Seven’s voice drifted into my mind, calm but watchful. ‘That’s not just a bruise. There’s magic in it. I can feel it.’“Magic?” I whispered, staring harder at the star. It glowed faintly under the firelight, almost like it was alive. “What does it mean?”‘I don’t know. But someone marked you, Eris. You need to be careful.’Marked. The word left a bitter taste i
