From the shadows, Jake stepped forward, his figure emerging like a predator closing in on its prey. His eyes gleamed with malice, and there was a twisted satisfaction on his face, a look of someone who was thoroughly enjoying the game he was playing.

"I was hoping you'd ask," Jake’s voice was smooth, but the venom beneath it was unmistakable. "You think you’ve won? You think you’ve defeated Vivian? This is far from over, Lily. You have no idea what you're up against."

I gripped my hands into fists, feeling the surge of power beneath my skin. "You’re insane," I spat, stepping forward to meet his gaze. "You and Morgana you’ve been playing everyone from the start. This ends tonight."

Jake chuckled darkly, taking a step toward me. "You think it's that simple?" His voice dropped to a whisper, almost as if he were savoring the moment. "Morgana was just a pawn, just like you. She wanted to control the packs, but I... I want more. I want everything."

    “You think I’ll just roll over?” I asked, my voice filled with defiance despite the overwhelming fear that gnawed at my insides. Jake’s smile faltered slightly, and he stepped forward, raising his hand. “You’ll do more than that. You’ll help me, whether you want to or not.”But before he could make his move, a loud crash interrupted the moment. Alex, bloodied and bruised, struggled to his feet, his eyes locked on Jake with a fiery determination."You’re not getting away with this, Jake," Alex said, his voice hoarse but unwavering. He staggered forward, sword in hand, ready to finish this once and for all.Jake’s eyes flickered with annoyance before he raised his hand, dark magic crackling in the air around him. "You’re wasting your time, Alpha. I’ve already won."But Alex didn’t stop. With a growl, he charged, his sword slicing through the air in a deadly arc. The two collided in a burst of sparks, the force of their battle shaking the ground beneath us.I watched in a mixture of awe

    The clearing was filled with a tense silence, everyone preparing in their own way for the impending storm. Alex had already gathered most of the pack members, but I knew it wasn’t enough. Morgana’s magic was unlike anything we’d ever faced. She wasn’t just a witch; she was a master of manipulation, a force capable of shattering the very foundations we’d worked so hard to build. And with the child I carried in me, she had an even greater incentive to destroy everything. Alex and I stood at the heart of the pack, the weight of responsibility heavier than it had ever been before. It wasn’t just our lives on the line anymore. It was the future of our child, the future of the pack, and the fragile peace we had just started to rebuild after years of chaos. The weight of it all threatened to crush me, but I couldn’t show weakness. Not now.“Alex…” I started, my voice softer than I intended, but filled with the fear and determination that had consumed me for days. “Are we ready for this?”He

    The ground shook beneath our feet as a distant howl pierced the air. The pack’s collective breath caught in unison, the fear and adrenaline mixing in the air like a deadly cocktail. I knew it was coming. Morgana’s forces were closing in.“Get ready!” Alex’s voice rang out, harsh and commanding, cutting through the tension. “Hold your ground! Don’t let her get past us!”I felt a surge of adrenaline. There was no more time for hesitation, no more time for second-guessing. Morgana was coming. We had to be ready.The first wave of rogues arrived like a flood. They charged with inhuman speed, snarling and snapping, their eyes wild with bloodlust. I could feel the shift in the air as the battle began. Wolves and rogues collided, a cacophony of growls, snarls, and clashing claws.I stepped forward, my hands trembling at my sides. Alex’s words echoed in my mind: *Don’t let her get to you.* But I didn’t know if I was strong enough to resist what Morgana had planned.Then, I saw her.Morgana st

    But it was happening. The magic, the raw force of it, was mine to command now.

    The air was thick with tension as I stood there, staring down at Morgana’s lifeless body. The wind had died down, and the storm I had conjured was finally beginning to fade. It was over, I thought. Morgana was dead, her dark magic vanquished. The world should have felt lighter, but something gnawed at me, a dark foreboding that refused to leave.Alex stepped closer, his eyes scanning the clearing, his fists clenched at his sides. His sharp gaze shifted from me to the fallen witch’s body and back again. His jaw was tense, his every muscle coiled with the need for action.“Lily,” he said, his voice strained. “There’s something we’re missing.”I turned to him, feeling the weight of his words before he even finished speaking. My chest tightened, and I felt the ominous tug in my gut. The feeling I had been ignoring since the battle began was finally rising to the surface.“What do you mean?” I asked, but even as the words left my mouth, I already knew what he was about to say.“Vivian,” Al

    The weight of war pressed upon our pack like an unrelenting storm. As Alex and I returned to our territory, the urgency of the situation became painfully clear. Stella’s forces weren’t just rogues she had trained warriors, humans, and supernatural allies ready to strike us down. We were dangerously outnumbered, and if we didn’t act fast, we’d be slaughtered. The moment Alex stepped onto the training grounds, his voice boomed across the field. "Everyone, gather at the central hall! Now!" The urgency in his voice sent shivers down my spine. The pack warriors, elders, and remaining men rushed to obey, their eyes filled with worry and determination. Inside the hall, the tension was suffocating. Alex stood at the head of the large wooden table, his face set in a grim expression. The elders sat around him, their wrinkled faces shadowed by the flickering torches. "We don’t have enough soldiers," Alex stated, his voice low but firm. "Stella’s forces outnumber us at least three to on

    Vivian, however, didn’t release Lily. Stella’s gaze locked onto me. "Surrender, Alex." I bared my teeth. "Never." Her lips curled into a smirk. "Pity." She flicked her wrist. Vivian raised her dagger, pressing the cold steel against Lily’s throat. I felt my world tilt. "Wait," I snarled. Vivian grinned. "Say the words, Alpha. Surrender, and maybe I’ll let her live." I clenched my fists. I couldn’t let them take her. I wouldn’t. But before I could decide, something changed. The air shifted. A gust of wind swirled around Lily, rustling her hair. The faint glow in her eyes reignited, stronger this time. The magic that had been flickering and weak moments ago suddenly surged. Vivian frowned. "What the…" A shockwave exploded from Lily’s body, sending Vivian flying backward. She landed hard, gasping as she struggled to get up. Lily slowly rose to her feet, her body trembling, but her eyes blazing with raw power. Her voice echoed unnaturally as she spoke. "Y

    The battlefield was eerily silent, save for the whistle of the wind carrying the scent of blood. Every warrior, both from my pack and Stella’s army, had their eyes locked on the fallen soldier, his body still twitching where the arrow had struck. Then, a sharp intake of breath. A snarl. Stella’s cold blue eyes flickered with unbridled fury as she turned toward me, her lips pulling back in a feral snarl. "You dare," she whispered, her voice filled with venom. "You dare break the line before the battle even begins?" I gritted my teeth. "That was not my order. But it seems fate has chosen for us." She let out a bitter laugh. "Then so be it. Kill them all!" At her command, the earth trembled beneath hundreds of pounding feet. Stella’s warriors surged forward like a tidal wave, their growls filling the air. The gates shuddered under the force of their charge. But they had no idea what awaited them. The first wave of soldiers reached the entrance, weapons raised only for the

  • The Alpha king's Rejected Mate    The First Strike

    Alex’s POV I stood at the highest point of the fortress wall, my sharp werewolf eyes scanning the endless sea of enemies before me. Stella had summoned an army, unlike anything I had ever seen. Hundreds of soldiers stood at attention, a blend of rogue werewolves and trained human warriors, each armed and ready. And there, at the forefront, was Stella herself. She rode a black stallion, her silver-blond hair flowing in the wind like a queen ready to claim her throne. But she wasn’t alone. At her right stood Vivian, her red eyes gleaming with a mixture of amusement and bloodlust. My stomach twisted at the sight of her. Vivian was never just a rogue she was a strategist, a manipulator. If she was standing beside Stella, it meant this wasn’t just brute force; they had a plan. The weight of responsibility pressed down on my shoulders, but I could not falter. My men needed strength. My pack needed a leader. I turned to them, my voice steady. "Today, we stand against those who see
