Leo's POV

"What time did she escape?" I growled, my voice rough with frustration as we stormed out of the courtyard, the heat pressing down on us like a heavy blanket.

Zane kept pace beside me, his urgency matching my own. "I alerted you the moment I found out," he said, his breath slightly uneven. "So, let's say as early as ten."

A growl rumbled low in my chest. That meant she had a head start—hours to disappear into the wilderness, to cover her tracks. My hands curled into fists. We needed to move faster.

My warriors stood in a loose formation at the forest’s edge, their eyes gleaming under the clear sky. The tension in the air was electric, humming with the promise of blood and vengeance.

I took a slow, deliberate breath, rolling my shoulders as I let the shift take over. My skin burned as bones cracked, realigning, reshaping—fur sprouting in a wave of scorching heat. My claws extended, muscles thickened, and within moments, I was no longer a man but a beast—powerful, relent

  • Stuck Between Two Alphas   Seed of Deceit

    Leo’s POVI forced a steady breath, my heart still hammering from the rush of the hunt. But the moment I stepped inside, that adrenaline shifted into something else—something heavier. Ivy’s gaze followed me as I walked in, her brows knitting with concern. "Leo?" I couldn't let her see the war raging inside me. Not now. I needed to leave. Fast. I forced a small smirk, running a hand through my hair. "Just some business. I’ll be back soon." She sat up, her expression tightening. "Business? You just got back." I leaned down, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "I won’t be long." Ivy studied my face, as if searching for a crack in my excuse. "You’re lying." My jaw clenched, but I kept my voice even. "Ivy, don’t start. I have to go." She grabbed my wrist before I could move away. "Wait. Did my father say anything to you? I just spoke to him today, and it was… strange." Her words made my stomach tighten. I knew things she didn’t—things she didn’t need to know. I cupped her

  • Stuck Between Two Alphas   Brewing Regret

    Ivy’s POVI couldn't shake off the stories Isabella had told me about her and Leo. The way she spoke about their shared past, the little details she knew—his favorite meals, the way he liked his coffee, the things that made him tick—it all gnawed at me. I knew Leo loved me, but the jealousy inside me was relentless. It curled in my stomach like a slow-burning fire, impossible to ignore. I wanted to push her words away, to convince myself that they didn’t matter, but they clung to me like a stain I couldn’t scrub out. It made me feel… small. Inadequate. Like no matter what I did, I would always be second to her. A herbal tea? I scoffed to myself, gripping the edge of the counter. I’ll give him more than that. “Miss?” A startled voice broke through my thoughts. I turned sharply, my expression unreadable, to see one of the maids standing there with a pile of bedspreads in her arms. Her eyes were wide as she looked at me. “What?” I asked, irritation lacing my tone. She hesita

  • Stuck Between Two Alphas   The Rift

    Ivy’s POV I couldn’t move. Leo’s words cut through me like a knife. ‘Just go, Ivy.’ The weight of my own breath felt unbearable, my chest tightening as guilt twisted deep in my stomach. I wanted to scream that I didn’t do it on purpose. That I would never—could never—hurt him. But the words stuck in my throat. Leo lay there, his skin paler than before, his breaths shallow but steady as Isabella tended to him. I should have been the one at his side. I should have been the one holding his hand, whispering apologies, doing anything to take away the pain I had caused. But instead, Isabella was there. ‘He could have died!’ Her words still rang in my ears, looping over and over. Leo still wouldn’t look at me. I took a step back, my fingers trembling. “I didn’t mean to…” My voice cracked. No one answered. No one even looked at me. I felt like a ghost in the room, unnoticed and abandoned. The walls closed in, suffocating me with memories—memories of Leo’s laughter,

    Isabella’s POV The evening air was cool, crisp, and utterly perfect. A gentle breeze carried the scent of pine and damp earth, rustling the curtains as I stepped onto the balcony, my lips curling into a satisfied smirk. Everything was falling into place. Every carefully laid seed of doubt was taking root, twisting around Ivy and Leo’s fragile bond like vines squeezing the life out of a tree. I wrapped my arms around myself, savoring the tension I had orchestrated between them. The weight of my victory settled over me like a warm cloak. Ivy looked like a ghost of herself, broken and riddled with guilt, while Leo—well, Leo was still too soft toward her for my liking. That part irked me, but it wouldn’t last. Not with what I had in store. I traced the rim of my glass, the cool condensation dampening my fingertips as I recalled the past few nights. I gripped the railing, my nails grazing the iron as I replayed Ivy’s devastation in my mind. The way she had stood there, trembling,

His burning gaze latched onto me, unblinking, unwavering.A chill slithered down my spine, my fingers tightening around the stem of my wine glass. I swallowed hard, my mind scrambling, searching for a way out.How long had he been standing there? What exactly had he heard?Then his voice came, cold as ice, sharp as a blade.“You can’t wait to separate me from my mate?”Each syllable dripped with restrained fury, his deep voice like the low growl of a predator ready to strike.My breath hitched. My carefully crafted mask of confidence faltered, cracking at the edges.“No—Leo, I—”A step.The sound of his boot against the balcony floor sent my heart into a wild frenzy.Another step

    Isabella’s POVThe sting on my cheek still burned, the taste of iron lingering in my mouth. My breath came in ragged gasps as I stood frozen in place, my heart slamming against my ribs. Who the hell does she think she is? Just as I was about to react, I stopped when I felt it. A shift in the air. A presence. Leo. His energy was unmistakable—an approaching storm, dark and furious. A primal fear gripped me, raw and suffocating. My body reacted before my mind could catch up, my feet moving on instinct. I spun on my heel and bolted, my heels clicking against the marble as I rushed back into the dimly lit room where I had been staying. The heavy door slammed shut behind me, sealing me away from the wrath I knew was coming. My chest heaved, my fingers trembling as I pressed them against my burning cheek. This couldn’t be happening. It wasn’t supposed to end this way. I had spent years weaving myself into Leo’s life, and days planting seeds of doubt, making him believe I was

    The scent of damp earth and pine filled the crisp morning air as Ivy’s unconscious body slumped on the cold ground.Isabella smirked in satisfaction, brushing a strand of hair from her face as she looked down at her Ivy’s limp form.“You almost had me worried for a second,” Lila said softly.Isabella scoffed. “Please. Your sister is predictable—too trusting for her own good. And now?” She turned to Ivy. “She’s right where we want her.”Lila turned to Isabella with a triumphant smirk. “We’re back on track now,” she said smoothly. Isabella, still reveling in their victory, narrowed her eyes slightly. “And what are we going to do with Ivy?” Lila’s expression darkened with satisfaction. “A good friend who owes me a favor is going to sell her to the rogue Alpha, Malrik. Someone told me he’s desperately looking for anyone dear to Leo Ashton.” A shared smirk passed between them as they basked in their success, their plan unfolding seamlessly. “I already set my script in motion.

It was Lila.Her twin sister.She wore Ivy’s face, spoke with Ivy’s voice, carried herself with Ivy’s mannerisms—but she wasn’t her. Lila had spent weeks perfecting the deception, stepping into her sister’s life from the shadows with one goal: ruin her relationship with Leo beyond repair and take her place in every possible way.It took her long to get here, and she was thrilled to play the role of Ivy Blackwood.Lila crossed her arms, schooling her expression into one of cold indifference. “I can’t do this anymore, Leo.”“Hey, baby, talk to me.” His voice was hoarse, desperate. He reached for her wrist, trying to steady her, but the moment his fingers brushed against her skin, Lila jerked away like his touch burned her. “I said don’t touch me!” Her voice crack

    IVY'S POV“No!” I thrashed, every limb rebelling as I strained against the chains. “Get your filthy hands off me! You’re all monsters!”The burn of the restraints cut deeper, but I didn’t care. My voice tore through the chamber like a wounded beast. “You think this makes you powerful? You think having your way with a chained woman makes you a king? You’re nothing, Alpha. Nothing but a coward too weak to accept rejection. Your mate despised you. I despise you too!”The Alpha stood in front of me, unshaken. His eyes gleamed—not with rage, but something worse. Hunger. Satisfaction. Humor.He turned to the sorcerer, his voice low, almost casual. “If I spill my seed into her… will it hold?”The sorcerer’s breath caught, then his face lit up as if struck by divine revelation.“Oh… oh, my King,” he murmured, sinking to one knee. “You are brilliant beyond compare. A true leader. Of course! Of course! If she bears your heir, the bond will be forever weakened. No Alpha would dare claim a woman

    The estate loomed into view like a palace of memories she wanted to bury. The towering gates, the long marble driveway, the manicured hedges. To anyone else, it looked like luxury.To her, it looked like a trap.A trap that could destroy all her plans.The moment they stepped inside, staff rushed to greet her. She didn’t recognize any of them despite their attempts to be friendly. They all wore the same annoying expression—concern mingled with curiosity.As if wondering what had really happened to Miss Ivy.Lila smiled.Fake. Perfect. Practiced.She had no choice now.“It’s good to be home,” she said smoothly.Richard narrowed his eyes slightly but said nothing.They led her up to her room, the unfamiliar halls pressing in around her like the walls of a tomb.

    The scent of antiseptic hung thick in the air, cold and suffocating, clinging to the sterile white walls like a ghost that refused to leave. The room, though bathed in daylight streaming through a narrow, barred window, held no warmth. The only sounds were the distant echo of shoes on tile and the low, mechanical hum of machines monitoring the fragile boundary between sanity and madness.In the center of it all lay Lila.Or as the staff here knew her: Ivy Blackwood.Her brown hair was disheveled, matted to her forehead with sweat. Her pale skin, once radiant with carefully curated poise, now looked wan and haunted. Her eyes, wild and rimmed with exhaustion, flicked around the room like a cornered animal searching for an escape. But there was none. The straightjacket bound her arms tightly to her torso, and leather restraints anchored her ankles to the bed frame.She hadn’t spoken since the screaming stopped.The nurses whispered when they thought she couldn’t hear. Said she was mad. T

    Leo’s POVThe battlefield quieted, save for the crackling fires and the groans of the dying. My pulse still thundered in my ears, but the bloodlust began to ebb, leaving behind a sharp, aching clarity.I stood among the ruins of Malrik’s failed rebellion, blood soaking my skin, teeth still stained from the life I had ripped from their veins. The night was far from over—I could feel it, like a splinter in my mind. Something dark was coming.The air shifted.Colder. Heavier.Even my warriors sensed it. Their post-battle roars died out, one by one, and an unnatural silence swallowed the clearing. Connor’s lips curled into a snarl, Zane’s claws still dripped red, but their eyes darted to the treeline.Then I saw her.She stepped out of the shadows like smoke made flesh.Dina.The last time I saw her, she stood in front of my throne room, asking me to sacrifice my mate. She hadn’t changed—still dressed in her dark robes that rippled like oil in the wind, her face pale and ageless, her eye

    Ivy’s POVThe fourth day turned out to be the worst.Worse because I am still alive. Worse because every time Alpha Raul marked me, the pain got sharper. Deeper.And every time, my wolf—valiantly, defiantly—rejected him.The room stank of sweat, old blood, and Alpha Raul’s scent—thick and clinging like rot. My body was raw, my neck a patchwork of torn flesh where Raul had tried to mark me over and over. But my wolf—the last spark of resistance I had left—rejected him every time. And each rejection felt like death.The mark was slow to heal, and before it could fully fade, Alpha Raul would sink his teeth into the same spot—reopening the wound and claiming it all over again.Each time he sank his fangs into me, it was as if my soul was being torn in half, only to be stitched together by burning wire. I would scream until my voice gave out, until my throat was ragged and raw, until the pain folded me into unconsciousness. But every time I came back, chained and shivering, he would try a

The moon hung low, bloated and red like it was thirsty for carnage. Good. It would feast tonight.My boots crushed charred earth as I led my warriors across the eastern border of the palace, where Malrik’s pathetic rebellion had gathered like a swarm of diseased rats. I could hear their howls echoing in the distance, could hear the roar of their chants—wild, desperate, undisciplined. Fools.Zane met me at the front lines, blood already staining his cheek and his blade. “They’ve broken through the outer ring,” he said breathlessly, “but they’re sloppy. No formation. Just brute force.”I sneered. “Then let’s show them what real force looks like.”I shifted.Bones cracked, flesh tore, and a searing fire ignited in my veins as my wolf burst free. My muscles expanded, fur black as shadow blanketing me, claws gleaming like blades. But it wasn’t just my wolf—my va

    Leo’s POVMy hand shot out, grabbing Dante by the throat again —but this time, I didn’t squeeze. I leaned in, my golden eyes burning with a primal, ancient rage. Does the name Blackwood ring a bell?" I growled, my face mere inches from his. I watched his features quiver, the slight tremor betraying the fear he was too proud to voice.He didn’t answer. Didn’t even blink.Rage ignited in my veins. My fist slammed into his face—once, twice, again and again—until the wet crunch of bone and flesh filled the air. Blood sprayed across my shirt, warm and slick, but I didn’t stop. Not until his head lolled and his breath came in ragged, shuddering gasps.“Ivy Blackwood,” I murmured, my voice like a death sentence. “The woman you kidnapped weeks ago. The one whose life you almost ruined. The one you would have killed if she hadn’t escaped you.” Dante's body jerked violently beneath my grip, his muscles spasming as I held him in place. I struck his face—once, twice—the sharp crack echoin

    Leo's patience snapped.The power in his voice sent a tremor through the air. “You have no idea who you’re speaking to! I am the Alpha King. She is my mate. How dare you harbor feelings for the Queen of our realm?” Connor’s expression faltered, his eyes flickering with something unreadable. Then— Leo’s golden irises darkened, flashing with raw power. Connor’s wolf recognized it.A shudder rippled through him. His wolf whimpered, instinctively bowing its head. Leo stepped closer, his voice a deadly whisper. Realization struck him like a bolt of lightning. This was it.This was why his wolf instinctively bowed whenever Leo spoke. This was why his body yielded despite the Alpha blood running through his veins. The truth settled in his bones, heavy and unshakable. ‘So this is the invisible king of our realm…’The man who ruled from the shadows. The one who never showed his face, yet his presence alone commanded submission. The ruthless, unchallenged ruler every pack whispere

    Alpha Raul’s growl ripped through the chamber, primal and raw, shaking the very walls. His claws unsheathed in an instant, his chest rising and falling with ragged fury. But Ivy? She only smiled.“Like I said,” he murmured, ignoring Ivy's taunts, his grip tightening on her jaw. “I’ll do what I didn’t do last time. I’ll mark you as mine.” He leaned closer, his breath hot on her face. “Only then will you know your place. Only then will you learn total submission.”The words sent ice plunging through my veins. Ivy's eyes widened. “No. No, you can’t fucking do that.” She fought, jerking her head away, but his grip was iron. “Hold her down!” His men obeyed instantly. She screamed as they pinned her down, their hands like shackles against her arms and legs. Her body shook violently, every instinct inside her roaring in defiance. The king’s fangs elongated, his pupils dilating as his gaze locked onto her neck. His breath was warm against her skin, and she knew what was coming
