Tangled With The Fated Mates 34| Unknown
The air in the warehouse was taut with tension, apprehension palpable in the disposition of all present. Reid — flustered and frustrated — paced the floors of the warehouse, from wall to wall, his head tossed upwards, as if he was imploring some deity. Moss and Keeran, both still exhausted from the rigors of battle, sat on the ground, their backs against the wall. Other wolves sat on the ground, too, in various stages of injuries, nursing their wounds."Fuck!" Reid suddenly let out, punching the wall, his fist cracking going through it, mortar and dust sprinkling to the ground.The noise from his punch gave everyone a start, and they fixed their eyes on him."We had everything planned out," he said again, his breath shallow. "Every single damn thing, and now this."Keeran got on his feet, padded over to where Reid stood leaning against the wall and put his hand on his shoulder, squeezed gently."Be calm, Alpha. We did our best," he said. "There's no need to have regrets. We can always

At first when she opened her eyes, she did not know where she was. She ached all over, every single muscle in her body that could ache ached, but her head most especially — it seemed like there was a battle ground inside her skull two opposing factions were warring bitterly. She grunted as she shifted, trying to make sense of where she was. Slowly, painfully, she managed to sit up, and it occurred to her that she was in the outhouse. The stench of blood was still in the air, and her memories came back in bright and obscene flashes — Arielle taking off Lumos's head, the spurt of blood, the physical exertion it had taken to clean the room."Ohh, no," she said to herself as she straightened up."Ahh, ahh, ahh," she heard a familiar voice. "Look who's awake."She saw Angelo's wiry frame make it into the room, a smug smile on his face. He must have been standing outside all the while."Girl, you look terrible," he said to her, and Claudine could tell, by the look of disgust on his face, a l
Tangled With The Fated Mates 36| A New Dusk
Several days had passed since the Blackmoon pack faced the brutal attack from the Bluefur pack, and while a semblance of normalcy crept back in, the weight of that fateful night clung to Denzel's every breath. He secluded himself in his room, neither eating nor emerging. Even Nira, with all her influence, couldn't sway him. Respecting his solitude, she turned her attention to aiding Ronald and Cordelia in the daunting task of leading the pack in the alpha's absence. Though not their Luna, they obeyed her nonetheless."Terry, hands off," Nira warned Terry, halting his attempt to sneak away with a piece of meat.Terry, a handsome guy, dropped the pilfered meat. "I'm starving," he protested."When are you not hungry, Terry?" Nira retorted, rolling her eyes."Seriously, Terry, your appetite is relentless," Ronald chimed in, playfully smacking Terry's stomach as he made his way to the mini bar."Are you guys calling me a glutton?" Terry asked, a mock offense in his tone."Worse," Cordelia
Tangled With The Fated Mates 37| Finding My Mate
The Blackmoon pack's celebration unfolded through the night, lingering until the first rays of dawn. As the sun timidly peeked from behind clouds, a serene slumber embraced the pack. Bodies were sprawled across sofas and littered on the floor, a testament to the night's revelry. In the midst of this quiet aftermath, Denzel and Nira remained awake, perched on the front porch, engaged in conversation while witnessing the sunrise together.“Something intriguing occurred at the founder's ball,” Denzel shared.“Many intriguing things happened that night, Denzel,” Nira responded. “You'll have to be more specific.”“I'm referring to when I carried you in my arms, fleeing from the police,” Denzel recounted.“Ah, that moment. What about it?”“Well, I caught a hint of mate scent in the air,” Denzel revealed. “I believe my mate was present at the ball. Yet, when I glanced back, she was masked. Ezrianna was with her—I could sense her witchy fragrance.”“That's good news, Denzel. Maybe Ezrianna ca
Tangled With The Fated Mates 38: Ariella Demand 'Lunaship'
Ariella was in disbelief—Denzel was mated to Claudine. "No, this can't be," she exclaimed. "Claudine cannot be Alpha Denzel's mate; it's impossible.""Why?" Denzel asked."Because I'm superior to her.""And if you are?""Then, logically, I should be your mate. She's not worthy of you."“The moon goddess knows best,” Denzel said, his brows furrowing.“Claudine, tell him you refuse him,” Ariella turned to Claudine. “Tell him right now!”“What? I can't do that,” Claudine said, looking bewildered. “I can't refuse my mate.”“Claudine, you selfish... Tell him now that you are unworthy to be his mate.”Choosing not to respond, Claudine shifted her gaze away from Ariella. Ariella lunged at her, but Denzel caught her and slammed her to the ground, his eyes flaring red."Ariella, enough," Denzel commanded firmly. "Mating isn't about dominance; it's a connection that surpasses our werewolf understanding. Respect that.”“Alpha Denzel,” Ariella's father said, approaching cautiously. Ariella's moth
Tangled With The Fated Mates 39| Farewell Claudine
Ariella effortlessly hoisted Claudine's limp body, carelessly maneuvering her into the trunk of the car where her parents impatiently waited. With a loud bang, she shut the trunk and slipped into the back seat. As her dad secured the doors, the engine roared to life, and they sped away.As the car raced down the lonely roads, Ariella stared out the window, the blur of trees melding into a monotonous rhythm. Minutes stretched into an eternity, and Ariella's patience wore thin."Are we there yet?" Ariella's question pierced the silence, laden with frustration.Her mother's eyes twinkled with amusement as she glanced at Ariella. "Look around, dear. Do you see people or buildings?"Ariella bit back a retort, her irritation simmering beneath the surface. "Couldn't we have found a closer place to stash her?"Her father snorted dismissively. "If you have a better suggestion, I'm all ears."Ariella's lips pursed in contemplation before she exhaled heavily. "I just want her gone for good.""Do

As the heavy cell's door clanged shut, Claudine’s heart pounded in her chest. A surge of adrenaline courses through her veins fueled her movement. She lunged toward the bars, hands gripping tightly as she pleaded with her adopted family, their fading figures tugging at her heartstrings.“Please, Ariella, Mr. Zayender, Mrs. Janey! Don't leave,” she implored, tears welling in her eyes. “Wait, I'll behave, I promise. Forgive me. Ariella, you can have Denzel.”“Keep quiet,” a gruff voice said, striking her fingers with a baton until she recoiled, nursing the stinging pain.“I don't deserve this,” Claudine murmured, sinking to the cold floor.“None of us do,” a voice, rough with weariness, replied, causing her to scramble away until she reached the center of her cell.Gradually, she became aware that she wasn't alone. In the dim prison cell, she noticed rows of other cells, each housing solitary figures, with nothing but prison bars dividing them.“Who's there?” Claudine called out, squint
Tangled With The Fated Mates 41:Torn in between
Denzel's povDenzel paced back and forth in his chambers, his mind racing with conflicting emotions. He couldn't deny the fact that he has been mated to Claudine by nature's design. Yet, his heart belonged to Nira, the one he loved and wanted to spend his life with."Why must it be like this?" he growled, frustration and anger simmering beneath the surface. He felt trapped, caught between the dictates of nature and his desires.As he walked, memories of Nira flooded his mind. Her smile, her laughter, her gentle touch, her unwavering commitment to him despite knowing he'd have to find a mate soon. All this made his heartache. He doesn't want to leave her but he has to obey nature's command.Denzel stopped pacing and slumped into the couch his head in his hands. How could he choose between his duty to Claudine and his love for Nira? The weight of his responsibilities as Alpha and his desires threatened to consume him.He thought of seeking advice from his pack members, but what could th

Tangled With The Fated Mates 105: Our little wolves
As the full moon rose high in the night sky, the pack gathered in the heart of the forest, surrounded by towering trees that swayed gently in the breeze. The air vibrated with excitement and anticipation as they celebrated the ancient ritual of the Lunar Festival. A majestic bonfire crackled and danced in the center of the clearing, casting a warm, golden glow over the sea of faces. Ronald and Cordelia, hand in hand, mingled with the others, their joy infectious. Kris and Kate laughed and chatted with Mary, while the rest of the pack shared stories, played music, and danced under the starry canopy. Just as the festivities reached a crescendo, a murmur of welcome rippled through the crowd as Denzel and Claudine emerged from the darkness, their twin bundles of energy, Ember and Ash, perched on their hips. The twins' eyes sparkled like fireflies as they took in the vibrant scene, their chubby fists clinging to their parents' shoulders. Claudine smiled warmly, her eyes shining with hap
Tangled With The Fated Mates 104: Ember and Ash
Claudine savored the warmth of her coffee, cradling the mug in her hands as she settled into the plush couch. The morning sunlight streaming through the window highlighted the dust motes dancing in the air, casting a serene ambiance over the living room. Her tranquil moment was short-lived, as the sound of tiny footsteps echoed from the hallway, growing louder with each passing second. Suddenly, Ember and Ash, her rambunctious three-year-old twins, burst into the room, their bright blue eyes sparkling with mischief. "Mommy!" they chimed in unison, launching themselves at Claudine. She opened her arms, embracing the chaos that came with her tiny tornados. Ember climbed onto Claudine's lap, spilling coffee everywhere, while Ash tugged at her hair, playing a game of "Mommy's hair salon." Toys scattered across the floor as the twins' energy infectiously spread throughout the room. Blocks, dolls, and crayons flew through the air, creating a colorful whirlwind. Claudine's coffee mug teet
Tangled With The Fated Mates 103: A happy beginning
Three years had passed since the battle-scarred days, and Claudine's world had transformed. Her home, once a sanctuary from the darkness, now resonated with laughter and joy. In the sun-drenched living room, her rambunctious twins, Ember and Ash, chased each other, their giggles echoing off the walls. Claudine sat on the couch, watching with a contented smile, her eyes shining with happiness. The room was filled with the warm scent of freshly baked cookies, wafting from the kitchen, where Denzel had spent the morning cooking up a storm. As she gazed out the window, Claudine's thoughts drifted to Ezrianna, remembering the sacrifices made for their freedom. Just then, Denzel entered, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he smiled. He swooped behind Claudine, enveloping her in a gentle hug, his lips brushing against her ear. "Hey, love. Enjoying the chaos?" Claudine leaned into his warmth, feeling the tension melt away. "Every minute," she whispered, twisting to meet his lips in a tend
Tangled With The Fated Mates 102: Aftermath
Claudine's legs buckled as she reached Ezrianna's side, her body wracked with sobs. She gently cradled Ezrianna's lifeless form, holding her close as tears streamed down her face. "No, no, no... Ezrianna, please don't leave me," Claudine whispered, her voice trembling. Denzel approached, his eyes red-rimmed, and wrapped his arms around Claudine, holding her steadfast as she mourned. "She saved me, Denzel... She saved us all," Claudine stammered between sobs. Denzel's grip tightened, his own emotions barely contained. "We'll honor her memory, Claudine. We'll make sure her sacrifice isn't forgotten." Claudine's hold on Ezrianna's body tightened, as if unwilling to let go. "I couldn't protect her... I couldn't save her." Denzel's gentle voice countered, "You did everything you could, Claudine. Ezrianna knew that. She chose to give her life to save yours." Claudine's anguish only intensified, her cries echoing through the desolate landscape.Claudine's grief-boiled rage propelled her to
Tangled With The Fated Mates 101: Sacrifice for victory
Ezrianna and Lyra clashed, their magic swirling in a spectacular display, the air crackling with energy as they exchanged blows. The battle-scarred terrain around them bore witness to their relentless struggle, the earth scorched and smoldering from their clashing powers. Lyra summoned a maelstrom of dark tendrils, but Ezrianna countered with a burst of radiant light, the shadows recoiling before the purity of her magic. Undeterred, Lyra conjured a massive shadowy entity, its jaws wide open to devour Ezrianna, but the ancient magic surged through her, calling upon the land itself to aid her. The earth trembled, and a burst of stone and soil engulfed the entity, shattering it into nothingness. Lyra stumbled back, her eyes widening in desperation, her dark magic faltering.Ezrianna's eyes blazed with fury as she unleashed her devastating banshee scream, the sound wave crashing into Lyra like a physical force. Simultaneously, she channeled her ancient witch powers, summoning a maelstrom
Tangled With The Fated Mates 100: Battle ready
Reid strode through the mist-shrouded forest, his boots pounding against the earth as he returned to the Bluefur Pack's territory. The familiar scent of his pack's lands enveloped him, a calming balm after his prolonged absence. As he emerged from the trees, the pack's village came into view, its wooden structures bathed in the pale light of dawn. Reid's eyes swept across the gathering area, where his warriors awaited his return. With a nod, he signaled the start of their campaign against the Blackmoon Pack. His warriors, battle-hardened and loyal, fell into formation behind him. Reid's gaze burned with determination as he addressed his pack. "Today, we reclaim our honor and assert our dominance. The Blackmoon Pack will know our strength." His words were met with a chorus of growls and snarls, the warriors' eagerness palpable. Reid's transformation from werewolf to human was complete, his powerful physique and chiseled features now clad in battle-worn leather armor. "We march for Bl
Tangled With The Fated Mates 99: We'll be ready
Inside the warehouse, Denzel leaned over a large map of the territory, his finger tracing the borders. "We need to strengthen our defenses here, here, and here," he said, his voice firm. "Reid's been quiet for too long. We can't assume he's given up." Kris nodded, his eyes scanning the map. "I agree. We should also increase patrols and train more werewolves for combat." Jacob scribbled notes on a nearby chalkboard. "I'll work on strategizing patrol routes and scheduling training session. Let's move on to border reinforcements." Meanwhile, in a secluded clearing deep within the nearby forest, Ezrianna stood before a glowing crystal, her hands weaving intricate patterns in the air. Her eyes closed, focusing on the ancient magic coursing through her veins. "Astra, lignum, ignis," she whispered, conjuring a blazing sphere of light. The sphere danced before her, responding to her every gesture. Claudine's paws pounded the earth as she sprinted across the training grounds, her werewolf fo
Tangled With The Fated Mates 98: Away
As the moon dipped below the horizon, casting a dark shadow over Gettysburg's battle-scarred landscape, Reid and Elena prepared for the forbidden ritual. They stood within a circle of candles, their flickering flames dancing across the faces of the ancient tombstones. Elena's hands moved with deliberate precision, etching intricate symbols into the earth. Reid watched, his eyes burning with determination, as she poured a crimson liquid into the center of the circle. "The blood of the innocent," she whispered, "to awaken the Devouring Shadow." Reid's jaw clenched, his voice low and urgent. "Will this truly grant me the power I need?" Elena's gaze met his, her eyes grave. "The spell will tap into the underworld's darkness, channeling its energy into you. But remember, Reid, this power comes at a terrible cost. Your soul will be forever changed." Reid's resolve didn't waver. "I'll do whatever it takes to avenge Ariella. Let's begin." Elena nodded, producing a small, leather-bound book
Tangled With The Fated Mates 97: Whatever it takes (2)
Reid paced restlessly within his chambers, his mind racing with growing unease. Ariella should have returned by now. Something was amiss. His instincts screamed warnings, and his heart clenched with worry. He strode to the window, gazing out into the darkness, his eyes scanning the horizon as if willing Ariella to appear. Suddenly, he spun around, his fingers flying across the communication device. "Keeran," he growled, his voice low and urgent. His beta's voice crackled through the line. "Yes, alpha?" "Has Ariella returned?" Reid demanded, his patience fraying. Keeran's hesitation was palpable. "No, my lord. There's been no sign of her." Reid's grip on the device tightened, his knuckles whitening. "Find out what's happened," he snarled, his voice dripping with menace. "Now." The line went dead, and Reid's eyes burned with a fierce determination. He would uncover the truth, no matter the cost. Ariella's safety was paramount, and he would stop at nothing to ensure her return.After a
