THE ALPHA'S FIERY FATE CHAPTER 12: Under His Watch
NEVAEHThe bed is too soft. Too warm. My sheets tangle around me like they’re trying to trap me in this restless sleep I can’t escape. I roll onto my side again, toss the pillow beneath my head, and stare at the ceiling, unable to corral my thoughts. Every time I close my eyes, the same nightmares return—whispers in the woods, shadows chasing me, a voice pulling at something deep inside me.With a frustrated sigh, I swing my legs off the bed. The cool floor brings brief relief. I stand, pace the room for a moment, then head for the door. The hallway is dim, lit by a soft orange glow flickering from distant sconces. As I step out, I freeze.He’s there.Just a few feet away, Kane stands against the shadows, his presence as dark and untouchable as the night itself. He doesn’t notice me right away, his focus fixed on the hallway ahead. My throat tightens. My mind blanks. That look on his face—the coldness in his eyes—it never fades. Not even when he’s near.I clear my throat, the sound sl

KANEMeetings. Calls. Endless reports. But my eyes keep drifting.She sits in the corner of my office—quiet, efficient—working through the files I hand her like she has something to prove. And maybe she does. That fire of hers hasn’t dimmed since the moment she walked into this place—and every damn second, I feel the heat of it on my skin.She doesn’t once ask for help. Doesn’t complain. Doesn’t try to get under my skin like she usually does.That’s what gets to me the most.I’m used to her bite.Not this... focus.By the time the clock hits four, I’ve nearly forgotten she’s here—until she stands in front of my desk and lays the completed paperwork down.“All done” she says, tone flat. No smug smile. No sass. Just a simple statement.I look at the files, flipping through them.Clean. Accurate. Organized as hell.I pause, narrowing my gaze at her.“You finished all of this?”“Didn’t stutter” she replies.“You read and compiled everything yourself?” I arch a brow.Her jaw tightens like

NEVAEH The instant the pack house door shut behind me, I ran through the hallway, ignoring the curious glances from the omegas cleaning near the stairway. I didn’t slow down. I didn’t care. Not about them, not about the fact that I was probably trembling, not even about Kane’s Beta’s voice behind me calling my name.I reached my room.Slammed the door.And collapsed against it.My back hit the wood with a dull thud, and I slid down to the floor like every bone in my body had finally given up. My knees folded to my chest. My arms wrapped around them. And then the tears came—fast, hot, and furious.Gods, I had wanted to run. I’d wanted to tear that door open and throw myself into Ian’s arms the moment the car pulled up. And I had. For a second. For that one second, I had hope.But Kane’s hand had caught my wrist before I could move. Tight. Unrelenting. His words still echoed in my head:“Make one move to follow him, and your family will pay for it. You know I don’t bluff, Nevaeh.”His

The forest is alive with the whisper of leaves and the distant call of night birds. The moon, a sliver of silver, casts an ethereal glow over the ancient woods. But beneath its light, something darker stirs.I have always felt an unusual attachment to the woods surrounding my small town of Cedar Ridge. Growing up, I used to spend hours in it, lost in its hidden paths, listening to the quiet murmurs of the trees as they soothed my troubled mind. Today, though, it feels different; it's as if the woods are holding their breath, waiting for something to happen."Nevaeh! Come on!" Ruby's voice cuts through my reverie as she calls from the edge of the clearing. I break out of it and quicken up my pace, crunching the dried leaves with my feet."I'm coming, I'm coming" I call back, although my mind is still half-lost in the depths of the forest. When I reach her, we continue on toward the town's annual Autumn Festival. It is a big deal in Cedar Ridge, something to celebrate the harvest before

I finally stirred awake, I wasn’t in the woods anymore. I was lying on a soft bed, bathed in the pale morning light. My body ached, but I'm still alive. Slowly sitting up, the dull ache in my limbs made me wince, but I forced herself to sit. My mind began racing, replaying everything that had happened—the chase, Kane’s transformation, the darkness that swallowed me right before I passed out. But one question gnawed at me more than any other.Why didn’t he kill me?His state last night doesn't look like something he would spare anymore that he laid his claws on. I mean, he literally lost his sense of reasoning. Scanning the room I'm in, the expensive items caught my eye. He certainly has a rich taste, but not the kind I love though. While staring blankly, a thought struck. “Maybe I have been held captive!” I gasped aloud. Without hesitation, I dashed out from the bed and ran towards the exit. Just a few inches from the door, someone swung it open, nearly hitting me. My quick reflex

KANEThe glow of my office was dim, the kind of soft lighting that gave the impression of calm, even though inside my head, a storm brewed. The paperwork in front of me might as well have been blank. I stared at it, willing my mind to focus on mergers and alliances instead of the lady who haunted my thoughts. Nevaeh. Even thinking her name made my jaw tighten and my chest ache.“You’re a fool.” Kian’s voice sliced through my mind like a claw raking over glass. My wolf was restless, pacing, growling, relentless in his torment. He hadn’t stopped since the moment when we let her go. Since I let her go."I’m not discussing this" I muttered, low and harsh, my words echoing in the empty room.“You don’t have to discuss it. You have to feel it. She’s our mate, Kane. And you let her walk away like she was nothing. Like we are nothing.” “I fucking said I'm not discussing this!” I snarled, slamming my hand against the desk. The sudden noise startled me, and I let out a slow breath, attempting

Everything happened too fast. One moment, we were a normal family enjoying dinner together; the next, we were prisoners of fear, sitting stiffly under the heavy presence of a man who could only be described as terrifying.The silence in the room was suffocating, almost tangible. It pressed down on my chest, making it hard to breathe. I glanced around the table and saw the same strain on my family’s faces. My mother’s hands trembled as they rested on the table, my younger sister’s lips quivered, and even Ian, my brave older brother, looked as if he was bracing himself for a blow. Clearing his throat, my father finally summoned enough courage to speak.“Welcome, Alpha Darius. How nice of you to join us this lovely evening” he said, though his voice cracked slightly, and his awkward smile betrayed the fear lurking beneath his words.Nice? There was no way this man could ever be associated with that word. Everything about him—from the cold gleam in his dark eyes and the jagged scar that r

The howling wind of the Shadowfangs Pack sent chills down my spine as I stepped out of the sleek black SUV. The towering, fortress-like mansion loomed ahead, dark and unwelcoming, it's irregular peaks piercing the stormy sky. The pack lands were eerily silent, the thick pines around me swaying ominously in the wind.I inhaled sharply, the wild, musky scent of this territory setting my nerves on edge. Alpha Darius emerged from the vehicle beside me, his imposing frame as commanding as ever.“Welcome to Shadowfangs" he said, his deep voice smooth but heavy with dominance. “I trust you'll find your stay... memorable."I kept my expression neutral, though my stomach churned uneasily. “I'm sure I will" I replied evenly.As we entered the massive hall, I couldn't ignore it’s grandeur. Gleaming black marble floors reflected the flickering light of crystal chandeliers, while mounted trophies of slain beasts lined the walls like silent threats. Pack members paused to eye me curiously, their wh

ELDRICI should keep walking.I tell myself that the moment I catch her scent—warm strawberries and something sharper underneath, like cinnamon and lightning. The kind of smell that makes my wolf stir, lifting his head for the first time in weeks.I slow down, steps light, blending into the crowd. I have no business being here. No mission. No blood to spill.And yet… there she is.Standing in front of a fruit stall, arguing with a vendor like the world isn’t full of monsters in human skin. Her coat hangs off one shoulder, a stray strand of hair falling into her face as she waves a coin in the air, clearly unimpressed with the price.Something about her posture—the fire in her stance, the curve of her mouth when she smirks—shifts the air.Mine.The word shoots through me before I can strangle it.What the hell?My wolf huffs, tail twitching like a pup. The bastard’s excited. Over her?I step closer, not realizing how near I’ve gotten until she stiffens and turns around.Brown eyes. No—
THE ALPHA'S FIERY FATE CHAPTER 10: Before She Breaks
NEVAEH The aroma of freshly brewed tea and warm pastries fills the spacious dining hall. The morning sun filters through the grand windows, casting golden streaks across the dark mahogany table where Kane and I sit. My plate is stacked high with eggs, toast, and crispy bacon, while Kane’s remains almost untouched—except for his steaming cup of tea, which he occasionally sips from, watching me with mild amusement. I ignore his stare and focus on my food. The warmth of the eggs, the crunch of the toast—it grounds me, gives me something to focus on besides the strange, brooding man across from me. Kane sets his cup down with a quiet clink. "How old are you?" he asks smoothly. I swallow a bite of toast before answering. “Twenty.” He hums, his expression unreadable.“Do you have siblings?” My hand pauses over my plate, surprised by the question. “Yes. An older brother and a younger sister.” “Your parents?” Kane raises a brow. “They’re alive.” I hesitate. “At least, the last time
THE ALPHA'S FIERY FATE CHAPTER 9: The Perfect Tool For Revenge
IANI sat across from my father, watching him lounge in his chair like a king on a damn throne, swirling his whiskey as if the world outside these walls wasn’t crumbling. As if his own daughter wasn’t being held captive.The sheer indifference on his face made my blood boil. I clenched my fists, forcing my voice to stay steady.“How the hell can you sit there drinking while your eldest daughter is being held captive?”He didn’t even bother to look at me at first. Just took another slow sip and exhaled.“Why should I be worried about a liability?” he questioned in a bored tone.A liability.Something inside me snapped.Before I knew it, I was on my feet, my hands fisting the front of his shirt. I yanked him out of his chair so fast the glass tumbled from his grip, shattering on the floor. The air reeked of whiskey and something bitter—probably my own rage.His eyes widened slightly, but there was no fear, just that usual condescending smirk.“You bastard!” I snarled, pulling back my fis
THE ALPHA'S FIERY FATE CHAPTER 8: Just Another Song
The morning sun bled through the tinted glass windows of my office, casting an eerie glow over the sleek black furniture. I leaned back in my chair, fingers drumming against the desk as I skimmed through reports. The city skyline stretched beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, but my mind was elsewhere.Nevaeh.She had been in my home for a week now, yet every time I looked at her, something inside me twisted. The mate bond was a curse, tightening its grip with every breath she took within my territory. She didn’t belong here. A rogue. An outsider.And yet… I hadn’t let her go.My jaw clenched.I shoved the papers aside just as Eldric waltzed in like he owned the place, throwing himself into the chair across from my desk."What's up, Cuz?" he said, propping his feet up on my table."Get your fucking feet off my desk" I shot him a glare.Eldric grinned but made no move to obey. "Relax. Your desk is already ugly. My boots are an upgrade.""Are you that eager to die?" I snarled.He sighed

THE ALPHA'S FIERY FATE CHAPTER 6: His Claim
Darius’s eyes blazed with fury as he stepped forward, his fingers twitching at his sides."You think you can just come into my pack’s domain and take what’s mine?"Kane didn’t flinch. His posture remained unwavering, his expression carved from stone."You think you’re worthy of her?" Darius spat, his rage making his voice raw. "You can’t even control your own curse!"The insult struck like a thunderclap, but Kane gave no outward reaction. Instead, his gaze shifted—locking onto me. His amber eyes burned with something unreadable, sending a shiver down my spine. My heart stammered in a confusing mix of relief and dread.Darius moved first. His hand shot out, lightning fast, aiming to strike—but Kane was faster. In a blur of motion, Kane’s fist connected with Darius’s ribs. A sickening crack echoed through the grand hall as the impact sent Darius crashing into a marble pillar. The entire room seemed to inhale at once.Kane exhaled slowly, stepping forward with the lethal grace of a predat
