Stolen by the Alpha Banished
The grand hall of the rustic lodge feels stifling as I stand here, facing Ethan. My promised mate."Traditions be damned, Ethan!" My voice pierces through the air, echoing off the walls adorned with lunar symbols and pack artifacts.Everything packed with symbolism. Meaning. Everything meant to keep me down and perpetuate the ancient traditions of the Blackwood pack. But I refuse to marry Ethan.His sharp blue gaze locks onto mine, his eyes blazing with a fire that matches the hearth’s glow in the center of the room. "You will respect the ways that have kept us safe for centuries, Lyla," he snarls, the authority in his tone as unyielding as the ancient trees surrounding our home.We’ve attracted the attention of the other pack members. The door opens at the back of the lodge, and the elders enter. I feel more than see my younger sister Ana enter the lodge, but I don’t look at her. I know she’ll be judging me.This is between me and Ethan. I clench my fists at my sides. "Safe? Or s

I’m a lone wolf without a pack. All my defiance, all my strength, comes from a confidence that I have a place, even if I disagree.But I was wrong.For the first hour, I sob my way through the woods of Whispering Pines like a broken pup, my arms wrapped around my waist, unable to believe my actions led to this.I’ve lost everything.The cool night air embraces me, the familiar scents of pine and earth offering small comfort. I pause beneath the towering evergreens, their branches whispering secrets to the moon above."Where do I belong?" I whisper to the night, my eyes stinging with more tears waiting to be unleashed. The grandeur of Luna's Veil, which has always been my sanctuary, now seems a vast and alien landscape—one where my defiant spirit roams without a pack, without a home. What is there for me? To join another pack as an outcast? Find the humans and hide who I am for the rest of my existence?I don’t want to create a place for myself away from my pack. Away from my sister.

EthanWhen I left the lodge to track Lyla down, I knew it might come to this.Our passion for each other frequently ignites in anger, in fighting, in plays for dominance.But it usually ends in carnal pleasure.Still, my eyes widen as she kneels before me, her hand wrapping around my cock. I can’t believe the boldness of this woman, the way she is taking control and turning the tables on me.Maybe she’s ready to end the stand off between us and perform the ritual. Be my mate.I can’t deny how much it turns me on, how much I want her to take what she wants from me. I groan as her hand moves up and down my shaft, her thumb rubbing against the sensitive head of my cock. My hands grip fistfuls of grass beneath me as she continues to pleasure me. I can feel myself getting closer and closer to the edge, but I want to prolong this moment for as long as possible.Instead of focusing solely on my cock, she leans forward and begins kissing and nipping at my thighs. Her tongue darts out to swirl

KalenMy senses are heightened, every sound and scent amplified as I patrol the borders of my pack's territory.I scan for any signs of intruders. The moonlight filters through the dense canopy. My ears twitch, my muscles coiled and ready to spring into action at a moment's notice.The weight of my responsibility as the Alpha of the Nightshade pack settles heavily on my shoulders. I am the protector, the enforcer of our laws, and the guardian of our secrets. It’s a role I was born into, a legacy passed down through generations. I pause, inhaling deeply, my nostrils flaring as I search for any unfamiliar scents. The subtle shifts in the wind, the faint rustle of underbrush—all of it registers in my mind, a constant stream of information.My gaze sweeps over the landscape, my eyes narrowing as I spot a broken branch. I crouch down, my fingers brushing against the ground, feeling the earth beneath my touch. The scent of pine and damp fills my nostrils, mingling with the faint traces of

KalenDammit! I knew something was off. Now it makes sense, the scent of something unfamiliar in our territory. My heart races, my mind already calculating the potential dangers.I race through the forest, the moonlight casting an ethereal glow through the canopy of ancient evergreens. I move with practiced ease, my footsteps silent against the forest floor. Years of patrolling these woods have made the terrain second nature to me. I know every hidden trail, every secret clearing. My eyes scan the surroundings for any signs of movement. I catch the rustle of leaves, the distant call of an owl, the scurrying of small creatures in the underbrush.I duck under low-hanging branches and I leap over a fallen log, landing silently on the other side. I crouch at a narrow stream, my eyes narrowing as I scan the area. The sound of rushing water masks the subtle noises of the forest. I inhale deeply, discerning the various scents—moss, wet stone, and something faintly metallic. The moonlight da

I stare down at the she-wolf, my mind a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. She's a Blackwood, a member of a rival pack. I should leave her here, let her bleed out and die. It would be one less enemy to worry about.She’ll be a traitor, also. Her pack is primitive, barbaric.But I can't. I can't leave her here, alone and vulnerable. I can't let her die.I can say I took her against her will. Held her hostage. Kidnapped her.Then the blame falls squarely on me.Why would I risk myself for an enemy wolf?There's something about her, something that draws me to her. Maybe it's the way she smells, like pine and earth and something wild and untamed.Or maybe it's something deeper, something primal. Something that goes beyond pack loyalty and rivalry.Or maybe I can’t leave any creature, let alone a she-wolf, to bleed out here alone in the woods.Consequences be damned.I bend down and slide my arms under her, lifting her u

I sniff, my nostrils flaring, and notice how her scent fills the small space of my cabin. Blood mingled with sweat and wolf.If I can smell it from here, the pack will smell it outside.I have to mask it.I head back to the corner of the cabin where the hazel clippings are stored. The branches are fresh, their leaves still green and vibrant. Hazel is a powerful mask, a trick I learned from the elders in my youth. Its scent is strong, overpowering, and if used correctly, it can drown out almost anything else.Taking a handful of the clippings, I move methodically around the room, sweeping them over every surface. The air grows thick with the smell, a bitter, almost medicinal odor that stings my nose. I crush the leaves in my hands, releasing more of their pungent scent, and scatter the fragments across the floor, over the bed, anywhere she might have left a trace of herself.The sweat on my brow drips down my temple as I work, and I wipe it aw

She lies there still, her breathing ragged, shallow, blood soaking the new bandages around her neck in spite of my herbs, my careful stitches. I feel a twinge of desperation.We don't have a healer. I only know a few tricks and herbs to help in a time of need, but our wolves do most of their own healing.I shouldn’t worry about her.She was attacked by a wolf. I would want no less from the Blackwood pack if they found one of our own caught in their forest.But if that was the case, I should have left her in the glen outside their territory for their pack to find and take back.No, something drew me to her. I couldn't leave her alone. My energy called to her, and I had to bring her back.Who is she?My heart twists inside my chest, and I back away from her again. My energy senses her pain, just as it sensed her presence when I came into the house, and it draws me to her.I'm feeling soft, and I don'

Stolen by the Alpha Between Duty and Conscience
I wash the blood from my hands in the icy stream, watching as crimson swirls dissolve into clear water. If only the stain on my conscience could be so easily cleansed. The tribute. A sterile word for a monstrous practice—sacrificing a newborn cub to the Slavers each year to keep our pack safe. A tradition older than I am, passed down through generations of Alphas, each bearing the weight of this terrible choice. Until now, I've convinced myself it was necessary. Unavoidable. The price of our continued existence. But Lyla's voice echoes in my mind, challenging everything I thought I knew. Everything I've done in the name of duty.The cold water numbs my skin, but does nothing for the hollowness spreading inside me. Four young wolves dead because I hesitated. Because I listened to the doubts that have been growing since Lyla discovered the truth twelve months ago.The memory of that night is seared into my mind. Lyla had been tracking unusual movements at the borders of our territory, c
Stolen by the Alpha They Left a Message
EthanThe Slavers. The description matches what we know of them—humans who have dedicated themselves to hunting and controlling our kind, who have somehow gained power over us through dark means we don't understand."They had weapons," she continues, her voice growing fainter. "But also . . . chains. Special chains."The infamous chains of the Ironfang Slavers—forged with some magic that can bind even a shifted werewolf, preventing transformation and sapping our strength. I've never seen them myself, but the stories have been passed down through generations, cautionary tales to keep young wolves from straying too far from pack territory."They surrounded us," Mia says. "We tried to fight, to run, but..." Her eyes fill with tears. "They killed Raj first. Made us watch. Said it was a demonstration."My stomach turns at the casual cruelty of it. They didn't just want to send a message—they wanted to inflict maximum terror and pain in the process."And then?" I prompt gently when she fall
Stolen by the Alpha Written in Blood
EthanThe forest welcomes me, a familiar embrace of pine and earth as my paws dig into the soft ground. Around me, five of my strongest pack members run in formation—their silver and dark-furred bodies weaving between trees with practiced ease. I lead them on the border patrol, my senses heightened in this form, alert to any sign of intrusion into our territory. My wolf revels in the simple joy of the run, the temporary freedom from human worries.The moon hangs high overhead, bathing the forest in light that filters through the canopy. My Beta, Alaric, a massive gray wolf with battle scars crisscrossing his muzzle, flanks me on the right. He's been by my side since I took the mantle of Alpha after Lyla's father died. On my left runs Aria, the pack's head warrior, her russet fur gleaming as she moves with lethal grace.The darkness of the night cloaks us, weaving a shroud of secrecy as we weave through the towering evergreens that loom like ancient sentinels around us. It’s a perfect n
Stolen by the Alpha Salt and Desperation
KalenThe kiss is salt and desperation, her whimper swallowed by my growl as her hips arch into mine. Every thread of restraint burns away. Her fingers tangle in my hair, yanking until my scalp burns. I crowd her against the tree, one knee wedged between her thighs, letting her grind against denim until her breath comes in ragged bursts. Every gasp is a blade twisting deeper into the cursed part of me that wants things I can’t have. She tastes like vengeance and reckoning, like every forbidden thing I’ve ever craved. Her teeth graze my lip, drawing blood, and the metallic tang ignites something feral, possessive.I tear myself away, breathing ragged. Her pupils are blown wide, lips swollen, chest rising and falling like she’s just run for her life.“Kalen,” she rasps. Just my name.It undoes me.My hands find her waist, her thighs hooking around me as I lift her, her back scraping bark. There’s no g
Stolen by the Alpha Cunning Hunter
Kalen"No!" Lyla thrashes like netted prey. "Not again! Not again!"Her terror is a live wire against my skin. I cage her gently between my arms and legs, mindful of her nails, absorbing the blows until her screams die to whimpers."Breathe, hellwolf." My palm settles over her racing heart.She stills, sucking in a deep breath and holding it so long I fear she’ll pass out. Then she whispers, “Kalen.”One word. A statement.My name.My heart trembles.“I’m here.” I whisper the words, my lips grazing her cheek.She relaxes against me, a shuddering gasp shaking her body.Focus. On her. Keep her focused. "Name five things you smell," I murmur. Grounding her in this moment."Pine resin. Iron blood. Your... your stupid musk."I smile. "Two more.""Wood smoke." A shuddering inhale. "Rotted meat."Ice floods my veins. The same decay-smell from J
Stolen by the Alpha He Was Here
KalenLiam’s ears flatten. What is that? Every muscle in my body locks. He’s caught it too.Female. Wounded. Outsider.His growl vibrates my spine. Smells like prey.I body-check him into the boulder. False lead. Bullshit. He bares his teeth. You hiding strays now, brother? He says the word like a taunt. A reminder of the way we used to be.Before I ruined his sister.He sees right through me. Or maybe it’s our wolf connection, the bond stronger while we’re in this form. The pack circles, nostrils flaring. Eight pairs of eyes reflect lunar gold.My claws scratch at the rock beneath my paws. Focus on the real threat.Liam doesn't blink. This reeks of Blackwood tricks.My tail lashes. The rogue went east. Take the pack and circle the lake.A beat. Two. His ear flicks in reluctant obedience before vanis
Stolen by the Alpha Stay in the Damn Cabin
Kalen“Ethan?” I repeat, the name curdling in my mouth. My hands drop from her wrists as if she’s burned me. “Ethan Blackwood is your mate?”Lyla presses a hand to her chest, her face going pale. Something flickers in her eyes—a memory, a shadow I can’t quite see. But I know fear when I see it.My mind is already racing ahead. “Lyla, you’re mated to Ethan? He’s the Alpha of your pack.” A bitter laugh escapes me. “Shit, Lyla!” I stand, my fists clenching. My jaw is tight, my pulse hammering. “Just when I thought there was a chance for us—if he thinks you came here willingly—your own pack will kill you for staying here!”She barely reacts. Her body shudders, her gaze distant, lost somewhere else.I push forward. “There’s a way out of this. If we say I held you here against your will—they won’t punish you.”
Stolen by the Alpha I Want to be Your Mate
KalenThe fire crackles in the hearth, casting a warm glow over the cabin. I tend to it, adding another log, and the flames leap higher, illuminating the room in a soft, flickering light. I can feel Lyla's eyes on me, and I know she's watching my every move.She's been here for days now, longer than I anticipated. Her injuries were severe, worse than I initially thought. But she's strong. I can see it in the way she fights to heal, the way she stubbornly persists.And I can't deny the pull I feel toward her. It's more than just a sense of duty, more than the attraction I felt when I first saw her. It's something deeper, something primal.I glance at her, and our eyes meet. Her expression is softer, less guarded. There's a trust there, a trust I don't deserve. I look away, focusing on the fire, but I can still feel her gaze."What are you afraid of?" she asks, her tone gentle but probing.I try to mask my fear, but I know she can see it. My h
Stolen by the Alpha Don't Love Me
KalenI have to think of her.I clench my jaw, my body tensing, and I pull back, away from her.“We can’t,” I say. “I’m the Alpha.”She rolls her eyes. “I’m not asking to be your mate.”“I can’t,” I say.“Because of the curse?”She says it so flippantly it stabs at my heart.“It’s real,” I say, meeting her gaze. “I’ve watched it take those I love.”She tilts her head, considering. “Then don’t love me. Just fuck me.”Her words send a jolt through me, and I laugh. I can't help it. But she's serious, her body tense, her eyes dark with desire."Lyla, you don't understand--""I understand," she says, her hands finding mine. Our fingers lace together, and she squeezes. "I understand there's danger. But we don't have to commit."My blood hums with her
