The Accused Mate The Witch's Game
Celeste's POV The candles around me burst into blue flames, making me stumble backward. My heart raced as the magic mirror on my wall cracked from edge to edge. "No," I whispered, running to the mirror. "It's happening already." The mirror showed me what I feared most—Amara and Elias, their hands joined in blood, the old runes glowing on her skin. They had found each other again, despite everything I had done to keep them apart. I slammed my fist against the wall. All my careful plans, ruined in a single moment. I should have known Marcus couldn't be trusted. Now the Shadow Council would hunt me down too. My cat, Luna, meowed uncomfortably from the corner of my small hideout. I'd been living in this abandoned house since faking my death three months ago. Not even Marcus knew I was living. I liked it that way. "It's okay, Luna," I said, rubbing her black fur. "We still have one more trick up our sleeve." I pulled a wooden box from beneath my bed. Inside was a tube of blood

Celeste's POV"Not when the alternative is death," I shot back. "The Shadow Council would have killed me if I hadn't helped them." Viktor stepped closer. "And now we'll kill you anyway. After you help us contain this abomination." He pointed at Amara, whose runes were glowing brighter. I felt Lilith's grip loosen slightly. It was my only chance. With a quick movement, I twisted away from her knife and threw a blast of magic that sent her flying backward. The hunters rushed forward, but I raised a wall around myself, Amara, and Elias. "Listen to me," I said quickly. "I did terrible things to you both. But I can help you now." "Why should we trust you?" Amara asked, the runes on her skin pulsing with her anger. "Because I know what the prophecy really means," I said. "And it's not what they told you." Elias's eyes narrowed. "What does it mean then?" I took a deep breath. "It means Amara isn't just powerful—she's the key to destroying the Shadow Council forever. That's why they f

Twenty years ago "The pack needs a strong leader, Charles," I urged as we walked through the forest. "Your father is dying. You're not ready." Charles laughed, clapping me on the shoulder. "That's why I have you, Luther. You'll help me lead." "It's not the same," I maintained. "I should be Alpha. I'm stronger, smarter. The pack respects me." Charles stopped walking, his face getting serious. "We've been friends since we were pups, but this talk of you becoming Alpha has to stop. The bloodline is clear. My father passes the power to me." "Bloodlines can be broken," I said quietly. Something in my tone made Charles step back. "Are you threatening me?" Before I could answer, a woman's scream echoed through the woods. We both ran toward the sound, finding a young witch fallen in a clearing, bleeding from a wound in her side. "Help me," she gasped. "The Shadow Council... they're hunting me." Charles quickly moved to help her, but I held back. I recognized her—Celeste Morea

"Where did you get that?" Lilith asked, her voice suddenly tense. "From someone who wants Celeste dead as much as we do." I didn't say that the "someone" was Lilith's own sister, another secret I was keeping. "So what's the plan?" Orion asked. I laid out a map of the area. "Lilith will track them using Celeste's blood. Viktor's hunters will surround them. Ingrid will lure Elias away with news of his father's illness." "My husband isn't sick," Ingrid argued. "He will be," I said coldly, "by tomorrow morning." Understanding dawned in her eyes, and she nodded unwillingly. The greater good needed sacrifices."And me?" Orion asked. "You'll come with me," I said. "We'll be the ones to finish Amara and Celeste." As the others discussed the facts, my phone buzzed with a message. I stepped outside to read it, my heart freezing when I saw the words. Charles Winters is alive. He was spotted near the eastern border. My mind raced. Charles was dead. I had killed him myself, made it look

Rowan's POVI ducked behind a tree as the Shadow Council hunter passed by, his black robe barely visible in the darkness. My heart pounded, but I stayed perfectly still. One bad move and I'd be dead—or worse.When the hunter was gone, I let out the breath I'd been keeping. Too close. Way too close.For three days, I'd been tracking Amara and Elias through these woods. The prophecy book hidden in my backpack felt heavy with each passing hour. I needed to reach them before Luther's people did.I pulled out my battered compass—the one my grandma had given me when I was just seven years old. Unlike normal compasses, this one didn't point north. It pointed to power. And right now, it was going crazy, the needle spinning and jerking toward the east."She's getting stronger," I whispered to myself. That was both good and bad news.I started moving again, keeping low and quiet. The moon was almost full, giving me just enough light to see. As I walked, images of my family's burden washed over

Rowan's POVThe hunters scattered in alarm, all attention turning to this new danger."Not exactly subtle," I grumbled, but it was my chance. I slipped down the hill toward the cabin, staying in the shadows.Amara had gone back inside, startled by the commotion. I crept to the back of the cabin and found a window slightly open. Carefully, I pushed it wider and climbed through.I landed in what looked like a small kitchen. Voices came from the next room—Amara arguing with someone, possibly Elias or Celeste."I'm not hiding anymore!" she was saying. "Luther has to pay for what he did to my father."I stepped into the doorway. "He will. But not tonight."Three pairs of eyes turned to me in shock—Amara, Elias, and Celeste. Elias moved in front of Amara protectively, his eyes glowing Alpha red."Who the hell are you?" he growled."Someone who knows the truth," I said, holding up my hands to show I wasn't a threat. "My name is Rowan Kingsley. And right now, you're all in danger."Celeste's

Eighteen years ago The storm was roaring as Celeste appeared at our door, a bundle in her arms. "They're hunting me," she said, soaked to the bone and frightened. "The Shadow Council knows about the prophecy." I pulled her inside while Seraphina took the baby. The child was tiny, just days old, with a small scar shaped like a crescent moon on her shoulder. "Is this...?" I started to ask. "My daughter," Celeste stated. "The child of the prophecy." The baby opened her eyes, and I gasped. Even as a baby, her eyes held power—shifting between deep brown and bright gold. "Half witch, half wolf," Seraphina whispered in awe. Celeste nodded sadly. "The first of her kind. The one who can either unite our worlds or destroy them both." "What do you want us to do?" I asked, already knowing the answer. "Raise her as your own," Celeste begged. "Hide her true nature. Keep her safe until she's old enough to fulfill her destiny." "The Shadow Council will never stop looking for her," I
Last Updated : 2025-04-06The Accused Mate The Hunter's Game
Dorian's POV The silver bullet tore through my shoulder as I dove behind the fallen tree. Pain burst across my chest, but I didn't have time to feel it. Three Shadow Council hunters were closing in, and I needed that phone. "He's down!" one yelled. "Circle left!" I pulled the bullet out with my claws, biting back a scream. Silver burned like fire, but the cut would heal—eventually. What mattered now was the dead hunter's phone lying ten feet away in the moonlight. On it was the proof I'd been hunting for months. With a growl, I changed my arm to wolf form and lunged from cover. My claws cut across the nearest hunter's throat before he could fire again. The second hunter's gun clicked empty. I didn't give him time to reload, knocking him to the forest floor. "Where is she?" I hissed, pinning him down. "I don't know what you're talking about," he choked out. I pressed my claws into his neck. "Amara Kings. The witch-wolf. Where?" Fear filled his eyes. "The old witch's

The Accused Mate The Uncle's Return
Viktor Beaumont's POV The guard's neck snapped under my hands. I dropped his body quietly to the ground, wiping blood from my mouth. Five years in exile had made me fiercer, not weaker. I moved through the shadows of the Artemis Pack area. Once, I had ruled here. Now I was sneaking back like a thief. My nephew Elias had no idea I was coming. No idea that everything—Kamla's death, Amara's abuse, the attack on the cabin—was part of a bigger plan. A plan I had tried to stop years ago. "You shouldn't be here," a voice hissed from behind me. I spun around, claws extending. Marcus Hale, my nephew's Beta, stood with his hands raised. "Going to sound the alarm, Marcus?" I asked, ready to quiet him if needed. "If I wanted to, I would have already." His eyes darted around nervously. "You need to leave. Ingrid has tripled security since Elias left to find Amara." I smiled coldly. "Ingrid is exactly who I came to see." Marcus grabbed m
The Accused Mate The Mate Bond
Amara Kings' POVI woke up gasping for air, my body burning from the inside out. The mate bond flared like flames in my chest, pulling me toward Elias even as he slept across the room."Easy," my mother whispered, pressing a cool cloth to my face. "The bond is strengthening. Fight through it."We'd taken shelter in an old cabin after fleeing from Luther. My father was still weak from his wounds. Elias had fallen into exhausted sleep. And I was burning alive with need for my mate."It hurts," I whispered, rolling into a ball. "Why now?""The Blood Moon approaches," Mom explained. "It amplifies everything—especially mate bonds."I forced myself to sit up, sweat dripping down my face. Across the room, Elias stirred in his sleep, reacting to my discomfort."I feel him," I said, putting a hand to my chest. "Not just emotions anymore. His thoughts. His dreams."Mom nodded. "That's rare, even for true mates. Your healing abilities are affectin
The Accused Mate The Elder's Wisdom
Elder Thalia Reed's POVThe old books tumbled from the shelf as I yanked the secret lever. Behind me, I heard the heavy footsteps of the Guardians searching the house. They'd already checked this room once, but they'd be back soon.I didn't have much time.The bookcase swung open with a creak, showing a narrow passage. I slipped inside, pulling it closed just as voices approached. My old bones complained as I hurried down the stone steps, my only light a small crystal that glowed blue in my palm.For eighty years, I had served as Elder of the Blood Moon Pack, keeper of our most dangerous secrets. Only three people knew about this secret chamber beneath the pack house. Charles, Seraphina, and me.At the bottom of the stairs, I pressed my hand against the stone door. It recognized my touch and slid open."Finally," Orion Blackwood said, rising from where he sat against the wall. "I've been waiting for hours.""The Guardians are everywhere," I
The Accused Mate The Traitor Unmasked
Luther Cain's POVI smashed the burner phone under my boot, grinding the parts into the dirt. The call had taken only thirty seconds, but it changed everything."Amara is still alive," the voice had said. "She's with Elias. They know what you did."My carefully built plan was coming apart. For eighteen years, I'd worked as Beta to Charles Winters, waiting for the right moment to take control of the Blood Moon Pack. Now that stupid girl had ruined everything.I kicked the pieces of the phone into the bushes and headed back toward the pack house. Members nodded respectfully as I passed. They still trusted me. Still thought I was the loyal Beta who'd stepped up after Charles disappeared.They had no idea what I'd done. What I was capable of.Inside my office, I locked the door and pulled out the list of names. Five people who knew too much. Five lost ends that needed to be cut.Marcus Hale topped the list. Elias's Beta had seen me talking to Celeste the night before Kamla's murder. He'd
The Accused Mate The Alpha's Decision
Elias Beaumont's POVThe bullet grazed my shoulder as I dove behind the fallen table. Wood splintered above my head as more gunfire tore through the home."Viktor!" I yelled over the chaos. "Where are they?"My uncle reloaded his shotgun with trained hands. "Everywhere. At least twenty Guardians outside."I peered through a broken window. Black-clad figures were moving on the house from all sides. In the distance, I caught a glimpse of Rowan's motorcycle disappearing into the trees with Amara hanging to his back.A strange mixture of relief and fear washed over me. She was safer away from here, but the thought of her with Rowan made my stomach twist. I didn't trust him, promise keeper or not."We need to move," Viktor said, breaking into my thoughts. "They'll burn the place down if they have to."I nodded, trying to focus. My pack needed me. But Amara—my true mate—was going into danger without me.The front door crashed open. I shifted instantly, bones popping as my wolf form emerged.
The Accused Mate The Prophecy Keeper
Rowan Kingsley's POVI ducked as the knife whizzed past my ear and stuck in the wooden beam behind me. Elias Beaumont stood in the doorway, another blade already in his hand."Get out of my house before I put the next one between your eyes," he growled."I'm not here to fight," I said, keeping my hands where he could see them. "I'm here to help Amara.""How did you get past the guards?" Viktor asked from behind Elias."The same way the Guardians will get in if you don't listen to me," I answered. "Your security is good against werewolves, but not against what's coming."I'd been tracking Amara Kings for two years. Watching from a distance, waiting for the right time. I'd seen everything – her imprisonment, her torture at Elias's hands, her escape with Lyra's aid. All part of the prophecy that had ruled my life since I was a kid."Who are you?" Elias asked.Before I could answer, footsteps rushed down the stairs and Amara appeared. Her eyes were red from tears. She must have felt Charl
The Accused Mate The Mother's Trail
Luna Seraphina Winters's POV"You cannot enter here," the hooded guardian said, blocking my way. "This temple is forbidden to outsiders."Blood dripped from the cut on my forehead where a branch had struck me during my climb up the mountain. I was tired, hungry, and in no mood for more challenges."I am not an outsider," I said, pushing back my hair to show the mark behind my ear – three silver stars in the shape of a triangle. "I am Seraphina of the Starborn. This temple belongs to my people."The guardian's eyes widened. He dropped to one knee. "Forgive me, My Lady. We thought the Starborn were extinct.""Nearly," I said, my voice bitter. "But not quite."I felt Charles's death like a knife to my heart just hours ago. The link we had shared for twenty years suddenly torn away. I had fallen in the forest, screaming his name. Now I had to hurry. Amara needed me, even if she didn't know I was living.The guardian led me through stone passageways lit by blue flames that needed no fuel.
The Accused Mate The Warrior's Return
Orion Blackwood's POV I caught the guard's arm mid-swing and turned it behind his back. His knife clattered to the ground. "I don't want to hurt you, Travis," I whispered. "I just need to get inside." Recognition flashed in the young guard's eyes. "Orion? You can't be here! They'll kill you on sight!" "Let them try," I said, releasing him. "I've survived worse than Beta Luther's welcome committee." Eight years in hiding had changed me. Once, I'd been Blood Moon Pack's Head Warrior, Charles Winters' right hand. Now I was a ghost, returning to a place that had forgotten me. Travis glanced nervously toward the main house. "Everything's fallen apart, Orion. Alpha Charles is dead. Kamla was murdered. Amara disappeared. And Beta Luther..." "Is acting Alpha now," I finished for him. "I know. That's why I'm back." Travis hesitated, then gave me his pack jacket. "Take this. It'll help you blend in. The old tunnels beneath the packhouse haven't been sealed. Enter through the east
The Accused Mate The Exiled Alpha II
Five years earlier"You can't be serious, Uncle." Elias stood before me, barely twenty years old, already showing the attitude that would one day destroy him."I've seen it with my own eyes," I insisted. "Charles Winters is hiding something. A child with powers that could change everything.""The Blood Moon Pack has always been secretive," Elias shrugged. "That doesn't mean they're harboring some magical child."I slammed my fist on the table. "This isn't about pack politics! The prophecy speaks of a three-heart child who will either unite or destroy us all. If Charles is hiding her—""Prophecies," Elias laughed. "You sound like the old witch who lives at the edge of our territory.""Celeste Moreau knows more than you give her credit for," I growled."Mother was right. You're becoming unstable." Elias turned away. "Perhaps it's time for new leadership."I froze. "You would challenge me? Your own blood?""If I must." His eyes flashed gold - the mark of an Alpha. My sister's son, but no
