Chapter One Cara'S POV "You fucking bitch!" Mateo snarled, shoving me hard against the wooden counter. His eyes were afire, his lips twisted in a mean snarl. "You're nothing but a fucking burden! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be stuck in this goddamn mess!" I gritted my teeth and said nothing. It wasn't new. For months, ever since I came to Shadow wood pack, Mateo had been spewing this same bullshit. But today, his anger was worse. More venomous. "Say something, bitch" he spat, grabbing my arm so hard I knew it would bruise. "Or are you gonna keep standing there like a fucking mute?" Before I could respond, a loud crash echoed from outside. We both turned toward the entrance just in time to see my uncle, his hands shaking, staring at a pile of fallen boxes. The truck that had whizzed past was now parked a few feet away, sending up clouds of dust. And then, a man stepped out. Tall. Broad-shouldered. Dangerous: Heโs the Alphaโs eldest son. Richard.

Chapter 2 Caraโs POV I thought it was over. It would be back to normal Of course, I was wrong. One of Liam's men showed up right in the cafeteria. " Liam feels sorry for what happened that day," the man said. Low voice. Deadpan. "So he bought new goods for you." Silence. My uncle stiffened beside me. His hand on the counter tensed. The man continued, โYou need to go to the pack houseโ The tension in the room snapped like a whip Everyone here knew it wasnโt that fucking simple. No oneโespecially not a Wilsonโgave out anything for free. โIโll go with her,โ my uncle said immediately. The man's face didn't change. "He said she has to come alone." Mateo gave a low, mocking laugh. "Of course she does," he sneered, stepping right in front of me, blocking my path. His eyes gleamed with something ugly, something cruel. "Listen to me, you bitch." His voice dropped lower, colder. "If you dare cause any more trouble, I'll rip your fucking head off myself. "Let me get

Chapter 3 Liamโs POV She wrenched her arm free. For a moment, the graze of her skin, the spark firing at that first contact, still lingered. Cara's face didn't change. Her eyesโsharp, guardedโmet mine with defense. "I donโt know him," she said, her voice level. Liar. I watched her closely, Boris, my wolf, pacing inside me. Boris growled, his frustration evident. โI want to talk to Cornell nowโ I clenched my jaw, โNot now, Borisโ โSheโs our mate,โ he snapped, pacing inside me like a caged animal. โLet's make this quick" I ignored him, keeping my eye on Cara. The way her scent curled around me, something wild and sharp, like fresh rain after a storm. The way her lips pressed together like I was holding her back to him. The way her pulse quickened when I touched her, no matter how much she tried to hide it. I took a step closer, watching as her jaw tensed. โDo you feel it? We are matesโ I asked, my voice low. She didn't pretend to misunderstand. "I know wha

Chapter 4 : She is Mine Liamโs Pov A loud rap of knuckles against wood yanked me from my mind. One of my men knocked on the door, face etched tightly. "Liam, it's Cara. Her cousin and those guys are causing her trouble again." I felt rage jump through me like a live current. "And?" The warrior shifted uneasily. "As usual, she doesnโt hit back." I slapped the book closed. I knew Cara was strong. Weโd faced each other so many times in the battle. Of course, I know she could kick those bastards ass. But this is her choice โGo there. Right now,โ Boris demanded. โStop this nonsense.โ I exhaled sharply, already on my feet. โIโm going. I'll handle it myself." By the time I arrived, Mateo and his pack of bastards were already gone.Her lower lip was smeared with blood, bruises already discoloring along her arms. I narrowed my eyes. She was healing. Slow. On purpose. Smart girl. She was concealing what she was by this way. Boris growled at the sight of her woun

Chapter 5 Cara's POV By the time I made it home, the ache was gone, but the bruises still coloured my skin. I'd retarded my healing, made it appear as if I wasn't healing as fast as I ought to. It was needed. Uncle took one look. "What happened?" he asked, frowning, his eyes roaming the bruises on my arms. "Training," I said, pushing past him toward the kitchen. "It will heal soonโ Uncle let out a sharp exhalation. I began fiddling with the kettle, pretending that I hadn't heard the disappointment in his voice. We had this same conversation every time. He knew what was going on. But he also knew why I never fought back. Long after, he finally spoke. "You should rest." Instead, I pulled out the rent money that I had set aside and placed it on the table. "At least take this.โ He shook his head almost immediately. "No." "I could not go see your father before he died," he cut me off, his voice low and laden. "I gave in. I betrayed him and Alpha Robert " He turned

Chapter 6 : A Twist Of Fate Caraโs POV I stood at the back of the mating ceremony. My heart, pounding. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. I glanced sideways at the influential family of Alphas; Alpha Marcus stood with another Alpha and his daughter, adding to the burden of this moment. It was choking: the eyes of all outside, their expectations so thick in the air. Liam stood tall upon the stage, his voice strong as he addressed the crowd. โShadow wood pack and Barry pack have taken care of each other's backs for a while, and now it is time to make it official. We will sign the mutual protection contract" he said in a firm, clear voice. The Alpha of the Barry Pack, with his entourage, had also looked quite shocked by this announcement Liam continued, ignoring the growing awkwardness. "And now, it is an honor to have you all here, witnessing the bond that will strengthen our packs," he said, eyes scanning the room with that usual unshakeable calm. โAnd I want t

Chapter7 : The Bond Liamโs POV I followed my father into the study. As soon as the door closed, he hit me without warning. I noticed this before he started, but I didnโt move. I knew this day would come, but I still froze for a moment. Now, I just had to let him take out his anger on me. โYou did this without telling meโ The crack of the whip had seared across my back, I took my fatherโs wrath in Silence. โYou didn't ask me," he growled in a low tone . "Why?โ When the sound of the whip stopped, he nodded for me to get up. "Explain yourself.". I straightened, meeting his gaze without the slightest problem. What my father wants are: power, control, expansion. It ran in the blood, after all. So it's just a matter of making me mating Cara conform to what he wants โFather, I know you want to take more land and control the packs around us,โ I said, keeping my voice calm. โBut the bigger we get, the harder it is to handle everything. Weโve already felt the pressure. You migh

Chapter 8 Liamโs POV Cara was waiting for me, her arms crossed tightly over her chest, her eyes narrowing with confusion. โYou better give me a reasonable explanationโ I met her gaze, trying to keep my expression neutral. โI told you I am gonna have the mating ceremony today, right?โ She huffed, her brow furrowing deeper. โYeah, of course. with the daughter of Barry pack's Alpha.โ I took a step closer, my eyes searching hers for understanding. โI did not say that. I just told you I am going to have my mating ceremony.โ And You are my mate, of course. I would choose youโ She opened her mouth, but she didn't seem to know how to talk me back, and I took her by hand before she could say any word of refusal. I took Cara to dinner with my family. As soon as we entered the dining hall, the air felt heavy. The large chandelier above lit up the long table, but it didnโt make the atmosphere any warmer. The only sounds were the soft clinking of silverware and the faint crackling of

Rejected By One, Claimed By Anotherย ย ย The Search For Alex Davis
Chapter: The Search for Alec DavisDamon's POVThe night was still. Too still.I sat in my study, the gentle glow of the fire illuminating shadows in the dark corners of the room. The logs popped as I stared into the fire, my mind far away. My mind wandered back to earlier todayโwhen the elders had come to demand an heir, when Sophia had looked at me with that mixture of hope and fear. I had told her everything would be fine, but that little ball of doubt in my chest wouldn't go away.The heir.Was I already letting her down?I had promised Sophia that I would never abandon her. To protect her. To care for her. But how could I make her so joyful when something as important as this was slipping away from us?I sighed, slouching in my chair and running my hand through my hair. I had to clear my head. But I'd already wasted hours pacing, deliberating, trying to come up with a solution.And then, the one thing that could possibly cheer her up, I remembered.Alec Davis.I had heard her onc

Chapter: Let Them PanicCara's POVThe night was quiet. Too quiet. But I liked it that way. The moon was full, and pale silver light filtered through the glass windows of the guest room. The whole pack house had finally quieted downโno footsteps, no whispers, no elders pacing back and forth like they did during the day.I was sitting at the window, knees tucked to my chest, a warm shawl wrapped around me. The cup of tea in my hand was untouched. I did not need the heat. I was warm from something else. Laughter.Not loud and crazy.Justโฆ soft. Silent. Deep inside me.I was smiling. And I could not stop.Not because there was anything to celebrate. Not because I was in the pack house .But because today was a good day to watch people squirm.People like Sophia and Damon.I could still remember how the elders came by earlier today, all in their dark robes, looking so somber. I was in the hallway, trying to walk by casually, when I listened in.โAlpha Damon," one of them said, "we hav

Chapter 148 : One Heartbeat at a TimeSophia's POVLaughter in the room faded too quickly.Initially, it was a lovely night. The old people had come to the pack house with smiles and laughter, hailing Damon for the win and me and him as well for falling in love with each other. They'd brought their presentsโwasted bread, stitched cloaks, even a carved wooden figure of a wolf symbolizing protection. We'd had tea, we'd chuckled, and I'd almost forgotten all the sorrow and fight leading up to it.But then. like a storm in the midst of a peaceful sea, one of the eldersโElder Mavinโscratched his throat and spoke the words that sent shivers through the whole room."It's time for an heir."Just like that.I blinked, wondering if I'd just misunderstood.The others nodded. "Yes. The pack needs an heir. It's custom. Alpha Damon has claimed his Lunaโฆ now it's time for the future to begin."I could feel all eyes on me. Damon's fingers curled beside mine. He didn't say anything, not yet. He was ca

Chapter 147 The Visit of the EldersSophia's POVThe sun was warm and golden, its gentle light pouring in through the tall windows of the pack house living room. I sat beside Damon, his hand casually on mine. Cara, as always, in the corner of the sofa, feigning to read a book, but her gaze flicked our way every now and then. It was the first time in days that everything was quiet, as if we were breathing peacefully after weeks of chaos.The soft knock on the door stilled the room."Who's that?" I breathed, looking at Damon.He got up, his broad shoulders moving with stealthy ease, and opened the door.And thenโฆ I saw them.Three age-old men, dressed in rich earth-tinted robes, walked in. The minute they entered, the mood transformed. These were the Pack Eldersโthe dignified council governing tradition, law, and legacy. Damon dipped his head, and I got up, evidencing a humble inclination of the head."Elder Mako, Elder Linna, Elder Barro," Damon greeted them. "What do we have the priv

Chapter One hundred and Fourty SixPlaying the Game - Caraโs POVThe room was eerily quiet, the kind of silence that hung heavy in the air. It wasnโt comfortableโnothing about this moment was. Damon sat across from me on the dark leather sofa, his posture tense, every muscle in his body radiating discomfort. Sophia sat beside him, her gaze darting nervously between me and Damon, her hands fidgeting in her lap.It wasn't easy to be here. For all the years I was with the pack, living their reality, there was still a distance between us. A wall built of betrayal, regret, and unspoken words. I knew they didn't want me here, that I was a reminder of everything that was wrong. But that didn't matter to me. What mattered was how this game was going to play out. They did not know it yet, but I had the power to choose what was going to happen next.Sophia coughed and broke the silence. She sounded soft, almost hesitant. "I've been thinking a lot," she told us, looking at Damon. "There's someth

I put my arms around her, my hand softly brushing her hair.This peaceโฆ I did not realize how much I needed it until now.Sophia looked up at me with a small smile.

Everything was motionlessโlike the whole world had finally let out a deep breath. But my heart was full, beating harder than ever. Not with fearโฆ but with something else.With love.Sophia slept, her form wrapped gently under the warm blanket. Her hair spilled onto the pillow like silk. She was serene, so serene, like an angel. I sat down on the bed and simply gazed at her for a while. After everything we had been throughโthe betrayal, the horror, the battleโI could not help but stare. I had nearly lost her. But she returned to me. She fought for me.I bent forward and swept a lock of her hair behind her ear. My fingers touched her skin, and she stirred, opening her eyes slowly."Damon." she whispered, voice still heavy with sleep."I'm here," I said softly.

But for us.I didn't have her walk back.I scooped her up into my arms gently, like she was the most precious thing in the worldโwhich she was. She gave a little gasping cry, laughing through tears on her face. "You don't need to carry me," she whispered."I want to," I said. "You've carried me through everything. Let me do this."Her arms around my neck, her head on my shoulder, I could feel her heart beating against my own. Slow. Steady.
