The Alpha King’s Gifted Mate 44
MelanieThe weight of the crown feels heavier with each passing day, and sometimes, when I sit alone in my chambers or during long council meetings, it feels as though I am sinking beneath it. The reality of being Luna Queen is nothing like the dream I once had. It’s more than the power, the prestige, or even the responsibilities. It’s the constant pressure, the endless decision-making, the sense of never quite being enough. Not enough for the kingdom. Not enough for Oswald. Not enough for myself.Oswald is the pillar of strength that I lean on, but I know that even the strongest foundation can crumble if it bears too much weight. His unwavering support has kept me from falling too far into the abyss of self-doubt, but at night, when the castle is silent and I lie in bed beside him, I often wonder how much longer we can keep this up. How much longer I can keep this up.I can sense the threat growing, the ominous presence that hangs just beyond the horizon. The rogues are not the only

MaxineThe sound of my heels clicking against the cold stone floor echoes through the dimly lit corridors as I make my way deeper into the hidden depths of the palace. Each step feels heavier than the last, the weight of my plans pressing on me, demanding my full attention. My mind races as I recall the conversation I had earlier with Marcus. The alliance between him, Selena, and myself is growing stronger, but there's something else that gnaws at me—Melanie. That damn woman. Her very existence stands as a barrier between me and the power I crave, and every moment that passes, the more I feel the pressure to destroy her.But she’s not like the other wolves. No, there’s something unique about her. Something beyond what I originally thought.I stop in front of a simple wooden door, my fingers brushing over the surface before I knock lightly. The air feels thick with secrets, the kind that only the exiled know. Behind this door lies the one person who might hold the key to unraveling Mel

Unknown’s POVThe moon hung high in the sky, casting an eerie glow over the wilderness as Marcus stood in the center of the training ground, watching the chaos unfold before him. The air was thick with the scent of sweat, blood, and tension. The rogue wolves were brutal, merciless in their training, and their ferocity sent a ripple of unease through Marcus’s chest. His mind, clouded by uncertainty, refused to settle, and the gnawing feeling that had been building for days now surged within him.This alliance—this bond forged in hatred and resentment—was not as solid as it seemed.Marcus clenched his fists as he watched one of the rogues, a large wolf with a scar running down his face, pin a young warrior to the ground. The warrior’s face was contorted in pain, his body writhing beneath the rogue’s weight, but he could not escape. There was no mercy in this group. No honor. It was all raw, mindless aggression.His eyes flicked over to Selena, who stood just a few paces away, her expres

MelanieI stood before the mirror in my chambers, my heart pounding in my chest, and I couldn't help but think how surreal it all felt. The Luna Queen. It was hard to believe that, just months ago, I had been an outsider—an unremarkable wolf, struggling with the weight of expectations, uncertain of my place in this kingdom. But now, here I was, at the precipice of becoming the queen, the one who would stand beside Alpha King Oswald and lead our pack into the future.I reached up and touched the silver crown resting on the velvet cushion on my vanity, tracing its delicate patterns with my fingers. Its weight had always seemed a distant thing, a mere symbol of power and tradition. Now, it felt heavier, as if the very air around me had thickened with the weight of responsibility. For the first time, I could almost feel the weight of the kingdom resting on my shoulders.I had no illusions about the challenges that lay ahead. As Luna Queen, my role would not be just ceremonial; it would be

Unknown’s POVThe night was thick with tension as I stood before Iris’s lair, a dark, imposing structure hidden deep within the forest. The air smelled of damp earth and the faint, bitter scent of incense. The ritual had begun. The chants of Iris’s incantations filled the air, their rhythm hauntingly familiar, like the sound of a heartbeat in the still of night.Marcus and I had been brought to the witch’s dwelling after the ambush had failed. The rogues had attacked with everything they had, but somehow Melanie’s powers had thwarted them. We were left with nothing but failure—and the certainty that she was growing stronger. The humiliation stung, but I knew we had no time to wallow in it. Our only hope now was Iris.Marcus paced beside me, his jaw clenched, his eyes dark with frustration. The pain of defeat had never been something he wore well, but even he had to admit that this setback was more than just a bruising to his pride—it was a direct challenge to his very existence."We c

Unknown’s POVThe winds howled through the trees, the gusts of cold air biting at Darius’s skin as he stumbled through the dark forest, his body battered and bruised. His breaths came in ragged gasps, and every step felt like his last. He could barely stand, his vision blurred and his head swimming with exhaustion. The world around him seemed to tilt, spinning as if the ground itself were betraying him.He had no idea how far he had traveled, or for how long. All he knew was that he had to get to the Royal Crimson Pack, to the Luna Queen, to Melanie. She was the only one who could help him now.Darius’s thoughts flickered to Delona, the other gifted wolf. She was still out there, still in the hands of the rogues. He could almost feel her presence, faint but desperate, calling out for help. His heart twisted at the thought of her—helpless, vulnerable, trapped by those who would use her for their own dark purposes.He had failed her. And now, as the darkness of his surroundings closed i

Unknown’s POVThe candle flickered, casting long shadows that danced across the dimly lit room. Maxine could feel the tension in the air, thick and oppressive, as if the walls themselves were closing in around her. She sat at the far side of the table, her fingers lightly tapping on the wooden surface. Across from her, Marcus leaned back in his chair, his sharp gaze locked on the man sitting before them—Councilman Quincy Otto.Quincy’s reputation had been built on years of loyal service to the late Alpha King, a trusted advisor who had been in the court since the days of Oswald’s father. His silver hair and sharp, calculating eyes made him seem as though he were carved from stone. His presence alone was enough to make anyone in the room uneasy. And right now, it was all Maxine could do to keep her calm.“You’ve given us quite a bit to think about, Quincy,” Marcus said, his voice cold and measured. His eyes bore into the older man, scrutinizing every movement, every word that came from

MelanieThe night air was crisp as I stood at the edge of the clearing, the moon casting its pale light over the forest. Beside me, Oswald shifted, his presence a comforting anchor, as always. But tonight, the weight of responsibility was heavier than it had ever been. We weren’t just facing the unknown. We were diving headfirst into a battle that might very well decide the fate of our kingdom.Darius, the fourth gifted wolf, was with us—leading the way to the cave where Delona was being held. His presence was a silent but firm reminder of just how much was at stake. We had gathered the gifted wolves, those whose powers had been suppressed for so long, and together, we were going to attempt the impossible: break Delona free from the clutches of the rogues.I couldn’t help but feel the weight of the situation pressing against my chest. My powers were growing stronger, but I was still unsure of how to wield them. They came to me in bursts—unpredictable, uncontrollable—and with each surg

The Alpha King’s Gifted Mate 104
MelanieThe return to the Royal Crimson Pack’s territory was bittersweet. The sun was rising as we crested the last hill, painting the blood-soaked horizon in shades of gold and crimson. It felt like a cruel irony, the beauty of the dawn juxtaposed against the pain etched in every step we took. The pack lands were quieter than they should have been, the air heavy with grief and exhaustion. Our warriors bore the weight of loss, and though they moved forward, their eyes told the stories of the friends, brothers, and sisters we’d left behind. Rook, still unconscious, was carried by a pair of strong wolves. He looked fragile in their arms, a stark contrast to the overwhelming power he’d wielded as the Alpha of Shadows. I walked alongside them, refusing to leave his side. Oswald stayed close to me, his steady presence grounding me. His hand brushed against mine, a silent reassurance that I wasn’t alone. As we passed through the gates of the Royal Crimson Pack’s stronghold, the rema

MelanieThe ground trembled beneath us, cracks spiraling outward like jagged veins across the temple floor. Dust filled the air, choking and thick, but I didn’t care. My eyes were locked on him—Rook, standing tall in the center of the crumbling ritual circle, his body radiating dark power that rippled through the air like a storm. The sky above the temple churned, dark clouds roiling in an unnatural vortex, blotting out the moon and stars. The world seemed to hold its breath, suspended in the shadow of the Alpha of Shadows. “Rook!” I shouted, my voice hoarse but defiant. He turned toward me, his glowing eyes piercing through the gloom. For a moment, I thought I saw the man I had come to know—the fierce, determined wolf who had fought alongside us against the cult. But that glimmer of familiarity was swallowed by the overwhelming darkness. “You shouldn’t have come,” Rook said, his voice resonating with a power that wasn’t entirely his own. It was layered, twisted, as though ano
The Alpha King’s Gifted Mate 102
Quincy OttoThe air was suffocating, thick with the weight of ancient power and an oppressive darkness that gnawed at the edges of reality. The temple walls trembled, their runes bleeding crimson light as the cult's ritual surged toward its peak. At the center of it all was Rook, bound in chains of dark energy, his form writhing as the magic engulfed him. The moonstone hovered above him, its light pulsing in time with the ritual’s chants, casting eerie shadows across the chamber.I stood in the shadows, watching it unfold. For all the years I had plotted, schemed, and waited, the moment was finally here. My son, my legacy, stood on the brink of transformation, poised to become the Alpha of Shadows. But this was not a moment of triumph—it was a culmination of pain, regret, and a darkness I could no longer control.Rook’s screams echoed through the chamber, his voice raw with both fury and anguish. I could feel his resistance, the fierce battle within him as he fought against the chains

MelanieRook’s capture weighed heavily on me, a constant ache in my chest that I couldn’t shake. He had warned us, risked everything to fight against his own bloodline, and now he was in their hands. The image of him being dragged away by those cultists haunted me, even in my waking hours. But I wouldn’t let his sacrifice be for nothing.Oswald and I stood in the war room, the map of the Blackspire Mountains spread out before us. The air was thick with tension as we plotted our next move. Hazel stood to my right, her fingers tracing the lines of the map, while Quincy Otto lingered near the edge of the room, flipping through an ancient, tattered book.“They’ll take him here,” Quincy said finally, pointing to a spot on the map marked with jagged peaks. “The Temple of the Veil. It’s where the cult conducts its most powerful rituals. If they mean to turn Rook into the Alpha of Shadows, they’ll need the temple’s energy to do it.”Oswald’s hands clenched into fists at his sides. “Then we’ll

MelanieThe air was thick with tension as we gathered in the central hall of the Royal Crimson Pack’s fortress. The wariness that clung to the room was palpable. Every face around me—Oswald’s, Quincy’s, Hazel’s, and even Rook’s—carried the weight of what lay ahead. The cult wasn’t just a threat to us anymore; they were a threat to everything we had fought to protect.“Let’s get this straight,” Oswald said, his voice tight as he folded his arms across his chest. “We’re trusting a rogue who’s the son of the enemy and a traitor who once conspired against the pack. Tell me how that doesn’t sound like the worst idea we’ve ever had.”I glanced at Rook, who stood rigid near the corner, his jaw clenched but his gaze unwavering. He wasn’t fazed by the hostility, which only added to the enigma he’d become. Quincy, on the other hand, smirked faintly, clearly enjoying Oswald’s skepticism.“Because if we don’t,” I said, breaking the silence, “we lose any chance of stopping this before it’s too lat

RookThe battle had settled into uneasy silence, the air thick with the acrid scent of blood and the sharper sting of betrayal. Rogues lay scattered across the battlefield, their bodies lifeless, but it wasn’t a victory. The cult leader—my father—had escaped, and with him, the artifact that could doom us all. I stood in the eye of the storm, my heart warring against my instincts as I turned to face Melanie and Oswald.Their eyes bore into me, a mixture of fury and mistrust. They had every right to question me. My past was steeped in lies, half-truths, and bloodlines I wished I could sever. “You need to explain yourself,” Oswald growled, his tone low and dangerous. “Now.”I took a step back, holding up my hands in a gesture of surrender. “I will. But first, I need you to understand that I’m not here to hurt you. I never was.”“You expect us to believe that after what we just saw?” Melanie’s voice was sharp, but beneath it, I could hear the tremor of uncertainty. Her golden eyes search
The Alpha King’s Gifted Mate 98
MelanieThe sound of howls pierced the still night air, a chilling harbinger of the storm descending upon us. My heart raced, a drumbeat in the chaos as the pack mobilized. Every wolf—strong or wounded, young or seasoned—stood ready to defend our home. I could feel the energy humming in the air, dark and unnatural, an unwelcome intrusion into our sacred land.Beside me, Oswald barked orders, his voice carrying authority and resolve despite the tension etched into his features. His hand briefly brushed mine, a fleeting but steadying touch. I drew strength from it, pushing aside my fears. The rogues were here, and there would be no turning back.The first wave hit hard. The rogues, eyes gleaming with an unnatural light, were faster and more coordinated than any enemy we’d faced before. Their movements were sharp, their attacks precise, as if they were being guided by an unseen force. I shifted into my wolf form, joining the fray with a feral growl. My claws tore through the flank of a

MelanieRook stood at the edge of the firelight, his silver eyes catching the flicker of flames as he paced. The weight of his presence was palpable, and the silence between us stretched like a taut wire. Oswald leaned against the nearby table, arms crossed, his gaze sharp as he waited for Rook to speak. I stood beside him, my thoughts racing. The pendant, the shard, the whispers of the Shadowstone—all of it was beginning to form a picture, but the edges were jagged, incomplete.Finally, Rook stopped pacing and looked at me. His jaw tightened as if the words he was about to say physically hurt to utter. “You want the truth? Fine. My pack, the Shadowfangs, is gone. They were wiped out by a force unlike anything you’ve ever faced.”My breath caught. Though the devastation of war wasn’t new to me, the bitterness in his tone carried a weight that made my chest tighten. “What kind of force?” I asked.“A rogue Alpha,” Rook said, his voice low and cold. “Not just any rogue. This one isn’t ac

MelanieThe silver pendant lay on the table in front of me, its faint glow casting eerie shadows across the room. I couldn’t take my eyes off it. Its intricate wolf design shimmered with an otherworldly energy, a reminder of the forces we had yet to understand. Rook’s sudden disappearance and the organized rogue attack weighed heavily on my mind. This pendant was more than just a clue—it was a thread connecting us to the growing storm.I reached out to touch it, hesitating when my fingers hovered above the surface. Even without making contact, I could feel the power radiating from it, a strange resonance that felt both familiar and foreign. It reminded me of the moonstone, the ancient relic we’d fought so hard to destroy. Could it be connected to that same magic?“Don’t,” Hazel said sharply, breaking my trance. She stepped forward, her expression grim as she glanced between me and the pendant. “We don’t know what it’s capable of.”“I wasn’t going to,” I said, pulling my hand back. My
