King felt the same way. He had so many questions. What was this creature they were up against? Why kill if you didn’t plan to feed? What did it or they want? Was there a bigger goal? A bigger picture that he had been failing to see?

He was glad that he had Emilia alongside. She had a way of seeing through problems, and it was refreshing to know that he could seek a second opinion.

King’s ear twitched and he looked up immediately. He glanced into the distance, making sure. And then he heard it again.

“Did you hear that?” Emilia asked, to King’s surprise.

“I think so,” Emilia replied. “Come on.” They walked several yards down and the sound grew more distinct to Emilia. It was the croaking of a buck.

They found the deer behind a bush, with a deep, red gash on the side of its throat. Blood had soaked into the dirt and grass under the beast, darkening the spot. The buck’s eyes jumped with fear from King to Emilia, and it tried uselessly to move away.

Emilia rushed forward and got down on h

    There was a stout, well-built hut in the middle, and an outhouse behind and to the side. There was a medium-sized animal pen, with the fence connected to the wall of the hut. A small barn completed the buildings in the large space, everything looking very organized.“Here we are,” King announced. His breathing still sounded uncannily even and Juniper ignored how that discovery made her feel inside.“Hullo!” King called loudly.A man, who Juniper assumed was a ranger, opened the front door and peeked outside the hut. He had on a thick fisherman’s jacket over an equally thick checkered shirt. He had on faded jeans, and a pair of sturdy leather boots to complete the look.He still had a spoon in one hand, and Emilia concluded that she and King had probably disturbed the poor man’s lunch. He had an impatient look on his face as he stepped out of the hut fully.He glanced at Emilia with shock written all over his face. His eyes narrowed and she rolled her eyes. Yeah, the town folk still di

    “You need to warn everyone,” Emilia said, as soon as she remembered the vision. “They need to be careful out here. Whatever I saw…I didn’t see it clearly but…it was fast and it was strong. And it was dangerous.“In the buck’s memory, the attack happened in a fraction of a second. I have no idea what attacked it, all I saw was a blur. One moment it was jumping over a fallen tree, the next it was bleeding to death.“Whatever you do, you need to keep people out of these woods. The young wolves don’t stand a chance against this thing. I don’t think even full-grown wolves stand a chance against it. Any trip into the forest should be in groups. Please, King, you need to get them to listen to you. You have to convince them to stay out of here.”Emilia remembered how it had felt like she had been the one bleeding to her death, and she shivered. King watched her, his face hard and his expression serious.“Absolutely,” King finally replied. “You’re right. I will be calling for an emergency meet

    The murmurs broke out immediately, loud enough for Emilia to hear. Valid concerns rang through the crowd about how they could hope to live without access to the woods“We hear you, Alpha King,” one of the older wolves thundered so he could be heard over the din of the crowd. “You say there’s something dangerous and deadly in the woods, that prevents us from going about our lives as usual. Well, it begs the question. What’s to stop this danger from just attacking us in our homes?”The question created another round of commotion, this time even louder than the first. While King still appeared calm, he turned to Emilia with a look in his eyes that said he had not thought about this possibility.Emilia thought about it for a moment and decided. She nodded at King and he gave her a questioning look.Are you sure?Emilia nodded again and King turned back to the crowd.“Your attention please.” King’s booming voice silenced half the crowd in an instant, while the rest followed suit within seco

    She looked around the crowd and loved the admiration she saw in their eyes.King walked up to her with reverence in his eyes. “Wow...that’s the most spectacular thing I have ever seen. That was amazing. You’ve really come into your powers as a witch.”“Yes, I have.”Emilia lacked the ability to say more than that, given the way she was feeling. She struggled to stay on her feet, refusing to collapse in front of the whole town. King looked offended by her curt response but she couldn’t care at the moment.She watched patiently as the crowd dispersed, standing her ground with all her will. King waited with her, glancing up at the disappearing purple dome.“Finally,” Emilia gasped as the last group of townsfolk left.Kingn turned to ask her what she had said, only in time to see her collapse in a heap, unconscious before her body struck the concrete.King watched Emilia pull into the driveway in her tiny suburban rental from the massive window in his office. The curtains were slightly o

    All his friends were already gathered together, and he was the last one to arrive. They sat at a table beside a window, chatting softly, all turning when he entered the bar.There were only a few other occupied tables in the room, and King breathed an air of relief. He didn’t feel particularly comfortable talking about how he was feeling in a room full of people.He made his way to his friends and settled into the only available seat at the table. “I’m sorry, guys. Had a little delay with…work. What did I miss?”They waved off his apology and mumbled greetings to him in response. All except Jay, who grunted and sipped beer from the bottle.“Well, let’s see…” Blake replied, rubbing his jaw pensively in mock consideration. “Not much really. To be honest, there’s not really been a lot going on, so you can see we’ve been collectively enjoying a quiet drink.”Articus smirked and shook his head. Callahan laughed, earning him a frown from Fannar. King looked from face to face, taking in the

    “King?” Articus called.King blinked twice, returning to the present. “I’m sorry. Yes, I appreciate the help. I’ll let you all know how the situation develops. For now, no one has been hurt yet and we have…measures in place to keep everyone safe.”“Well, that’s settled,” Articus said. “Tell us though, how are things going with your mate?”“Mate?” Blake raised a brow. “Interesting. I didn’t expect her to ever come back. Now that she has, though, isn’t that a good thing?”“I wish.” king bit the words. “She doesn’t want anything to do with me, and she has made that pretty clear.”“I mean…you did kind of…reject her. Didn’t you?” Callahan piped up. “I mean, even we didn’t know that you had found a mate. You really kept it a big secret. It was only after she skipped town and we saw your pain that we knew how much you cared for her.”There were general murmurs of agreement in response to Callahan. While King was happy that Emilia had been brought up, he couldn’t help feeling like none of his

    The way she saw it, the only way out for her was to complete her mission, and then leave Moonwood as soon as it was done. This was why she worked on her investigation daily, pursuing leads wherever she could.She often went around town, tapping into the memories of the town itself, seeking a glimpse of her prey. She sat on park benches, touched streetlamps, buildings, and everything that could give her a clue of what she was looking for.The exercise was admittedly a colossal waste of time. Whatever memories she got from the town were of things happening within the town. That knowledge was useless to her, at best. The thing she sought tormented the woods.Irrespective of that, it was a better alternative than being in King’s house. She occupied herself with activities to avoid the damn man. Still, she could always feel him watching her with his golden, searching eyes.She parked in front of a convenience store. She hadn’t really planned on going there, but her mind had worked on its o

    It occurred to her that the warning could mean that there had been a breach. She dismissed the idea of that happening at first, then thought more carefully about it.What if she had made a mistake? Was her shield really as strong as she hoped? What if the thing had just ripped through her barrier?How strong is this thing?The fact that she didn’t have an answer to her last question terrified her more than anything.And then again, the barrier could have trapped the thing. The chances of that happening were slim, but Emilia felt hope rising in her heart. She moved faster, and King kept up with her excellently. He didn’t ask her questions, he only followed after, trusting her to lead the way.Just as Emilia had feared, the ward had been tampered with. Worse, it had been moved? Huh. Who could have moved it? As she searched for the ward, she realized something.The ward had not been tampered with from the outside. The disturbance had come because someone had stepped out of the shield. Emil

    “I can’t stop thinking about Selina,” Emilia said wistfully.King turned to face her. “Truthfully, I had also not expected her to do that.”“I was moved by the fact that Selina apologized.”“That’s true,” King agreed. “To be honest, she was the last person I expected to apologize to you.”After Emilia had saved Selina’s life, she had come to apologize to her. It was quite a show of humility as she had gone down on her knees and bowed to the ground before Juniper. Juniper had pleaded with her to get up, but she’d refused to get up until she had said her piece.“I’m sorry for how I treated you growing up,” Selina had said, with teary eyes. “You were right. You never killed Dad. I was always so angry at you for that night, but I never thanked you for saving me that night. And that sucks.“So thank you, Selina. Thank you. Twice you saved my life, and all I ever did was hate you and bully you. I wish I could turn back time and do things differently, but I can’t. Do you think you can forgiv

    He let out a sigh of relief, then collapsed on the bed again. His thighs burned something furious and he was afraid of moving too suddenly. He couldn’t deal with a cramp right now.Emilia’s breathing started to level out after five minutes. She had the energy of five people in bed, and no matter how tired King thought she was, she was always ready for another tumble.Her intensity and desire scared KIng, but it was still one of the things that he loved the most about her. She matched his energy in so many different ways and their time together always ended up looking like one of them had a point to prove to the other.She turned to look at him, beaming. “That was….”“Amazing?” King finished for her, chuckling.“I was going to say scary, but amazing works as well.” Emilia smiled. “Really, I thought I was going to burst an artery for a moment there.”“Lucky you,” King teased. “I think I heard a few pop.” Emilia laughed as he leaned forward to kiss her forehead, and then her lips.“Poor

    With tears in her eyes, she admitted what she had been holding back from admitting for so long. “I love you too, King.”King smiled wider and put his arms around her waist. He pulled her close, gently, and kissed her softly. Juniper melted into his embrace and forgot all about her pain and fear and frustration. She wrapped her arms around King, happy that she could hold him again.She had been so afraid of losing him. She had been so afraid of dying. And yet…here they were. She gripped him tighter, wanting to make sure he was real, not another sliver of her creative mind, a figment of her imagination. Yes, he was real. This was real.She was startled to hear voices and broke the kiss abruptly. The entire pack approached them, whooping and cheering loudly. She blushed slightly with embarrassment. She had completely forgotten all about them, and with good reason.“Wow!” Articus said. “What you did? We have never seen anything like it before. Where did you learn that from?”Emilia blinke

  • THE ALPHA KING’S WRONG MATE & THE SECRET BREEDER    WALK

    She walked slowly to the side, keeping herself on his blind side as she approached. She tried to levitate off the ground but couldn’t. All her powers had manifested physically into the spear in her hand.The only mana left in her was what powered her to move and function. She had to strike, and quickly, or she would be dead before she realized it.King had seen her get up, had seen the spear form in her hand. By some miracle, he had managed to keep his expression neutral and his eyes on the vampire.The vampire landed softly in front of him and pulled his blood spear out of the air. “So, this is how it ends.” He grinned wildly. “You fought well.”King held his gaze. “Don’t patronize me. Do what you have to do. Do you remember your promise? My life for theirs. No harm comes to my pack or my mate.”“Why the rush to die?” The vampire shook his head in mock sympathy. “Such a naive little boy. I made you no promises, fool. But I will promise you this. When I kill everyone you love and dest

    The vampire threw his head back and laughed maniacally. He held the whole town hostage. He was judge, jury, and executioner, and he had all the power. Worst of all, he wasraving mad.He formed another spear in the air and it hovered beside his head. He shoved Emilia casually, ever so absentmindedly, to the ground. She crashed into the ground and bumped her knees as she fell.Pain lanced through her. Her palms felt like she wielded two balls of fire, and she couldn’t feel her legs. She stretched out on the ground, taking stock of her injuries. She never suffered any real damage from injuries, thanks to her powers, but she still felt pain.She watched the vampire as he floated toward King. Her chest squeezed with fear when she looked at the long, thin spear that moved before him. He had a look of pure evil on his face.King, on the other hand, looked resigned to his fate. He looked like someone who was waiting to die. He looked ready for it, like he had been waiting his entire life to d

    He saw the vampire hovering high in the sky, watching the people. King had a sinking feeling in his stomach as he watched the still vampire.The vampire spread his arms to the side. At first, nothing happened. And then, the air around him shimmered. Thin, red objects appeared in the sky. Thousands of them, pointed like needles.King let out a wordless cry when he recognized the pointed objects floating in the sky. Blood spears. This was why the vampire had spent his time killing and discarding of so many animals.This was blood magic on an unprecedented scale. Cold realization washed over him. The vampire was going to wipe out the entire pack in one attack, and there was nothing that he could do to stop it.King clambered up to his feet, feeling defeated. How many of those could he block? How many people could he have saved today? He arrived at one inevitable answer. Not enough.As he had feared, the spears were turned toward the pack. His mouth ran dry and he watched wordlessly, awai

    His body trembled from pain and he could feel a few broken ribs. He got up shakily and the pain lacerated through him, even as his body started to slowly knit itself back together.Still disoriented, he looked up just in time to see a fist flashing toward his face. The vampire’s bony knuckle connected solidly with King’s jaw and sent his head reeling backward.The force of the blow caused a shock wave to spread out around King and the vampire. He went flying backward, crashing into the ground several times before he came to a stop several yards away.He got up slowly and felt a hot, white pain in his jaw and knew that it had been shattered. He limped, his front legs faltering as his shoulder had not fully healed. The vampire floated toward him slowly as he felt his jaw. The vampire grinned at him and licked his lips with a pale tongue. “My turn.”King had no idea how to escape the blows that rained down on him. He ducked as furiously as he could, but half the strikes connected, and he

    Fannar drilled Selina about what she had seen, and asked for details about her fight with the vampire.Selina cackled drily. “Fight? That wasn’t a fight. That was a beating. I barely managed to get my hands up before it ripped into me with the force of a bear and the speed of a fox. I have never seen anything like that in my life before. I think we are in big trouble.”The room fell silent and the alphas exchanged glances with each other. Asher spoke up first. “Did he give any indications why he took your sister?”Selina gave him an incredulous look. “If he did, I didn’t notice. I was too busy picking pieces off my ass off the curb.” She sighed and slumped into her seat. “What do we do?”The question hung over the room like a thick cloud of black smoke. No one had an answer to Selina’s question. No one knew how to find the vampire in the woods with powers like she had just described.Worse, they had no idea if Juniper was still alive. King didn’t want to think about what could have ha

    He frowned and narrowed his eyes at her. She shriveled under the scrutiny. He looked down at her stomach and she covered herself reflexively in horror. Knowing how he felt about the wolves, she was afraid of what he would do to her unborn child.A look of realization settled on his face. “You’re carrying a wolf child in your womb…” His voice sounded as soft as the wind rustling through leaves, barely a whisper.He let go of her wrist and took two steps back. He looked hurt and upset. “How could you? How could you allow your womb to be tainted by wolves?” And then, his eyes turned as cold as ice and his voice hardened. “I will wipe them all out. I will start with Moonwood, and then I will wipe every last one from the Starlight Valley and wider.”Emilia started to plead but he just walked backward, with a look of cold resolution on his face. Without another word, he turned around and sped off into the woods, heading toward the town.Without thinking, Emilia started running. From the den
