The Alpha's Broken Mate The Trap Springs
"Miss Blackwood." Amelia's voice sliced through the boardroom like silk over steel. "I believe these photos will interest the board."My stomach lurched as images flashed across the projection screen. Callum-my mate, my anchor-in compromising positions with multiple women. The rational part of my mind screamed that something was off about the shadowing, but my heart seized with familiar pain."I won't stand for these baseless accusations," Marcus Bennett, Callum's oldest friend on the board, snapped."Baseless?" Amelia's laugh tinkled like breaking glass. "The evidence speaks for itself. Our CEO's. personal activities have put Wolfe Industries at risk."I gripped my phone, thumb hovering over Callum's number. The mate bond pulsed with warning, but I forced it down. After James's betrayal, I'd sworn never to be fooled again."I need to see him," I said low, gathering my stuff. None of the board members even really paid attention as I left, too involved in their argument.Rain slammed a

The full moon cast an eerie glow through the floor-to-ceiling windows of my Sterling Financial office. My hands had shaken as I reread the anonymous text message for what had to be the hundredth time: "He was never on your side. Run.""This can't be happening." My voice shook as I took a step backward, forcing myself away from my desk. The city lay out before me, a labyrinth of glittering towers and dark shadows hiding everything from the big bad to the bogeyman.In a surge of the emergency lights in blood crimson, bloody shadows fell against my office walls. There were three huge wolves prowling beyond my threshold, with eyes aglow bright of predatorial meaning."Back!" I grasped the nearest heavy weapon available-a crystal paperweight Callum gave me last month. It wasn't lost on me that the irony was all too great.James's voice drifted through my mind – all those hushed phone calls, his convenient absences during pack meetings. The way he always knew exactly which buttons to push w

Fire raged through my veins as the change took hold. Every heartbeat pulsed waves of agony through my body. I screamed, my back arching off the blood-stained carpet."Hold her down!" James's voice cut through my pain. "Don't let them get away!"Through tear-blurred eyes, I watched Callum's huge wolf form tear into the rival pack. Fiona and Alistair moved like deadly shadows, their synchronized attack speaking of years fighting together."You betrayed us all," Fiona snarled at James, her wolf form pinning him against the now shattered windows.James merely laughed, a cold, mirthless sound that raised gooseflesh on the back of my neck. "Betrayal? I was protecting our kind. Humans have no place in our world-especially not as mates to an Alpha."My body twisted with another wave of pain. The transformation tore me apart from the inside out, reconfiguring every cell in my body. I felt my bones shattering and reforming, my muscles stretching to new shapes."Olivia!" Callum's voice cut throu

Medical monitors beeped a serenade as I stood beside Callum's bed, my fingers hovering inches from his bandaged torso. Outside the window, camera flashes lit up the sky with strobes of lightning as Amelia's final revenge unfolded in real time-the world was getting word on werewolves."Ms. Blackwood, the press is getting aggressive." Alistair's deep voice cut into my thoughts. "They're demanding answers about the. incident."I turned to face him, observing how his massive frame barely fit in the doorway. "Let them wait.""The Council's meeting downstairs." Fiona paced near the window. Her red curls caught in the strobing lights of the news trucks. "Every pack in Europe is calling. Amelia didn't just out us-she outed everyone."My phone buzzed again. Another news alert: "BREAKING: Werewolves Among Us – Global Governments Call Emergency Sessions.""This is what she wanted." My voice cracked. "To destroy everything Callum built.""Olivia." Emilia's hand was soft on my arm. "The Council ne

The crystal chandeliers of The Dorchester cast dancing shadows across my emerald silk blouse as I stood before the ornate mirror. My reflection stared back-green eyes sharp with determination despite the sleepless night spent in custody after James and Amelia's arrest."We don't have to do this." Callum's voice came from behind me, husky from exhaustion. His immaculate suit strained at its seams, its collar pulled a fraction out of kilter."Yes, we do." I turned to him, catching the leached tension in his broad shoulders. "The world needs to hear the truth from us, not from leaked videos and wild speculation."A sharp knock interrupted us. Fiona burst in, her red curls wild about her face. "The reporters are getting restless. And you need to see this." She thrust her phone at us, showing a tweet from a junior reporter: *'BREAKING: Monsters walk among us! Sources confirm supernatural creatures in London's elite.'*"Fantastic," Callum growled, his eyes flashing amber. "So much for contr
Last Updated : 2024-12-22The Alpha's Broken Mate Scattered Forces
The abandoned farmhouse loomed ahead, the worn stones glowing amber as the sun set. Clutching my tablet closely into my chest to avoid it getting wet in this rain, our little contingent pressed on. Each splash across wet grass sent another set of ripples up the nerves in my spine."Just a little farther, Marie," I heard Pierre mutter from behind, his voice low. "Just hold on."I turned to see Marie limping heavily against his shoulder, her face tight with pain. The gash in her leg from our hasty escape through that barbed wire fence wasn't healing properly. The sight of her suffering twisted something in my chest. We'd been moving constantly for two weeks, but Marie's injury forced us to break pattern.Thunder boomed across the French countryside as I checked my encrypted messages once more. My fingers were shaking slightly as I pulled up the latest report from my IT team."Another pack gone dark in Germany," I whispered, mostly to myself rather than to the others. Third one this week
Last Updated : 2024-12-22The Alpha's Broken Mate Mountain Sanctuary
The ancient stone archway loomed before me, snowflakes swirling through its weathered frame like lost spirits seeking sanctuary. My boots echoed against worn granite steps as I descended into the massive chamber, heart thundering against my ribs. Centuries of pack histories spiraled up the walls, countless stories carved in stone by those who'd sought refuge here before me."This way," Fiona whispered, her red hair a flame in the darkness. "The others are gathering."I followed her deeper into the sanctuary, trying to ignore how the torchlight made the refugees' amber eyes glow like burning stars. We'd been running for so long, across borders and through cities, always one step ahead of those who wanted us dead. Now, finally, we'd found the sanctuary hidden deep in the Swiss Alps.That's when I caught his scent.Pine needles and winter frost, threaded through with something distinctly *him*. My fingers trembled as the mate bond hummed to life, a bittersweet ache I hadn't felt this str
Last Updated : 2024-12-22The Alpha's Broken Mate The Elder's Warning
I sat in a cramped, circular meditation chamber deep in that ancient sanctuary, several hundreds of candles floating-illuminating with their firelights all across weathered stone walls. My fingers touched inscriptions on cold rock which made its match in files back with James and chilled."Every attempt to harvest werewolf DNA has ended in catastrophe." Elder София's withered hands quivered as she unrolled a fragile scroll before us. "Entire villages wiped out. Hybrid creatures driven mad with pain."Callum's shoulders tensed beside me. Even in the dim light, I could see the muscle working in his jaw."How many attempts?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady."Too many to count." Sofi'a's silver hair shone in the candlelight as she walked over to a towering mosaic. "The earliest records date back to the 12th century. A monastery in the Alps—"My phone buzzed, interrupting her. Three urgent messages from my corporate contacts flashed across the screen."James's company," I whispered

The Alpha's Broken Mate The Enforcer's Secret
Harsh shadows from fluorescent lights of the parking garage of Wolfe Industries proved unrelenting as I followed after Alistair into it. My heels, though clicking softly off concrete, barely provided an echo against the rains outside that drummed without a break. Our enforcer acted strange lately and there was only one way to determine exactly why."The security protocols have been updated, just like you requested.".I froze, plastering myself against a concrete pillar. Three unfamiliar werewolves stood with him near a service entrance, their postures tense."The access codes?" one of them demanded."All here." Alistair held up a thumb drive. "Everything you need."My heart hammered. Was our enforcer really betraying the pack? After everything Callum had done for him?Motion drew my attention. From behind another pillar, two more werewolves emerged, their eyes gleaming predatorily in the dim light. Every instinct screamed trap, but not for who I expected.The original three werewolves
The Alpha's Broken Mate Trust No One
My hands shaking, I traced the worn leather binding of the pack records. The setting sun cast long shadows across my office at Wolfe Industries, each darkening stripe a reminder of how much I stood to lose if I was wrong. Or right."Someone's been feeding to Edinburgh." I growled low to myself, scanning page after page of meetings that shouldn't have leaked. Last time the pack was betrayed-three dead. That couldn't happen again, but being on the investigating end into Callum's inner circle made me a traitor in my own right.A jarring knock yanked me out of my reverie. I slammed the journal shut as Fiona filled the doorway, her copper curls catching what was left of the light."Plan on sharing what's had you buried in the archives?" Her eyes went green, narrowing to pin me with that uncomfortably perspicacious stare that served her so well as beta."I-" The words caught in my throat as I weighed my options. Trust had gotten the last beta killed. Along with two others."Someone leaked t
The Alpha's Broken Mate Shadow Games
The e-mail on my screen sent chills running down my spine."Just wanted to follow up on our discussion regarding the Q3 projections." Marcus's words stared at me, each sentence a red flag. We'd been trading together for a decade and a half. This was not Marcus."Something's wrong." I muttered, scanning the message again. The Marcus I knew never used phrases like "circling back" or "touch base." He was direct, almost blunt. This email read like a corporate template.A knock at my door jerked me out of that reverie. Callum filled the doorway, a commanding presence even in a perfectly tailored Tom Ford suit. But the tight set of his jaw told me he wasn't there to make a social visit."Board meeting in ten minutes," he said without preamble, amber eyes raking my face. "You found something."It wasn't a question. The mate bond between us hummed with shared tension, even if we tried to keep things professional at work."Marcus Chen's latest communications." I turned my laptop toward him. "R
The Alpha's Broken Mate The Pure-Blood Agenda
My fingers traced the intricate patterns of the werewolf bloodlines on the ancient tapestry as if my life depended on it. The rain clawed at the leaded glass windows of Callum's study, casting wavering shadows across the scattered reports of recent pack attacks."These attacks aren't random." My voice cut through the tension-filled silence. "Look at the pattern, Callum. Every targeted pack has the same profile."Callum's pacing stopped. "What do you mean?""Large quantities of turned wolves. Human mates." I pivoted, facing him while my analyst's brain churned the numbers. "Someone is targeting specific packs. Those that don't fit into a certain. mold."Standing by the door, Fiona winced, readjusting her bandaged arm, still tender from last night's attack on our territory. "You think it's connected?""I know there is." I pulled out one of the reports. "The Thompson pack in Manchester-60% turned wolves. The Murray pack in Edinburgh-highest number of human mates in Scotland. The Chen pac
The Alpha's Broken Mate Blood and Business
I squinted at my monitor, the endless stream of numbers and financial data on the screen beginning to blur. Midnight was long since past, but I couldn't stop-not now that I was getting close."Come on, show me what you're hiding," I muttered, cross-referencing another set of transactions.My office in London's financial district overlooked the glittering skyline, but I barely paid any attention anymore. Three days of obsessive digging through corporate records had left me running on nothing but coffee and determination.The soft ping of an incoming message drew my attention. Callum: "Three more disappeared from the Munich pack. Whatever's happening, it's accelerating."My fingers trembled as I typed out in response: "I might have something. Give me an hour."Before me lay encrypted files that painted none-too-comforting pictures of a network of shell companies, each funneling in barrels of money for research facilities studying "genetic anomalies in canine DNA." It was one of those co
The Alpha's Broken Mate Ancient Blood
The musty scent of ancient parchment filled my lungs as I traced my fingers over the crumbling manuscript. Isabella's sharp intake of breath beside me broke the heavy silence of the London Pack House archives."Olivia, look at this." She quivered, her finger dancing to a part of text; ancient runes danced across the dimly lit area. "When pure blood meets tainted, the old ways shall rise again."My heart stuttered. "What's that supposed to mean?""It's a prophecy." Isabella's voice had dwindled down to a whisper. "One speaking of purifying bloodlines."Above us, footsteps-Callum in his office-dealt with the constant stream of messages from traditional Alpha families. Every step sounded just like the cadence of doom approaching."There's more," Isabella said, her finger tracing the page. "The prophecy speaks of a ritual. something about the purifying of the wolf-blood."A cold shiver ran down my spine as my phone buzzed. From Fiona: *Where are you? Emergency.*"We need to tell Callum,"
The Alpha's Broken Mate Council of Alphas
The ancient oak doors loomed before me, carved wolves seeming to leap in the flickering torchlight. My fingers brushed against Callum's suit jacket, seeking reassurance I wasn't ready to admit I needed."Ready?" Callum's voice was low, meant only for me."As I'll ever be." I squared my shoulders, thanking whatever star aligned to grant me a designer dress worthy of a lot more poise than I currently owned. "Though I still think bringing a former human to the Alpha Council may be perceived as.insensitive.""You're my mate." His jaw worked his tone final. "They'll deal with it."It seemed that the groan of the heavy doors as they swung open had echoed along the private wing. The setting sun was shining through the stained glass window, casting blood-red shadows on the teak surface, where twelve ornate chairs were drawn up to a huge circular table. My enhanced senses picked up mingled scents of anxiety, ambition, and something darker that stirred my wolf uneasily.Viktor Petrov was the fi
The Alpha's Broken Mate Glimpse of power
The smell of fear thickened in the war room as reports kept coming in. My fingers flew over the keyboard, following a web of financial deceit through Wolfe Industries. "Got something," I said, tugging Callum's attention from his phone. "The authorizations all came from a single terminal in the executive wing. Terminal ID matches." I let the words trail off, blood turning cold."Matches what?" Callum asked. There was an edge in his voice."Amelia's office."The silence that followed was resounding. Amelia Thornton - pack elder, board member, and the woman who'd warned me about a rising power. Had she been playing us all along?"That can't be," Fiona cut in. "Amelia's family has been loyal to the Wolfes for generations.""Numbers don't lie." I turned the laptop toward them. "Every transfer, every shell company, all traced back to her terminal."Callum's phone buzzed again. His face clouded over as he read the message. "Viktor wasn't the only one. They found the Swedish Alpha's body. Sam
The Alpha's Broken Mate Shadows of Power
The moon cast long shadows across Callum's office, where stacks of missing persons reports littered his normally pristine desk. I clutched the financial documents in my hands as the weight of what I had found hit me squarely between the eyes."Callum," I called, the tension evident in my tight voice. "We have a problem."He glanced up, his amber eyes flashing in a heartbeat. Same effect my heart got, despite all we had survived so far. "What'd you find?""Someone has been siphoning funds out of Wolfe Industries." I fanned the documents out over his desk, nudged the reports detailing the missing werewolves out of the way. "Shell companies. They all belong to various known hunter organizations. Systematic transfers-the dates go back months.""Show me." Callum's voice held that razor's edge I'd become so familiar with-the Alpha strangling his anger.I indicated the records of the transactions. "Here. Regular payments, always just shy of the reporting threshold. Whoever did this, knows ou
