The Alpha's Broken Mate Shadows of Power
Outside Callum's office, the thunder booms as I slip through heavy oak doors, pulled by some inescapable force I couldn't explain. My newly enhanced werewolf senses detect the musty scent of ancient books and something else-fear, perhaps-lingering in the walls themselves."What are you hiding, Callum?" I whisper, running my fingers over the spines of leather-bound volumes.The storm outside intensifies, and I find myself in front of a section of the wall that feels different. My wolf stirred, scenting something behind the loose panel. As I pry it open, yellowed scrolls spill into my trembling hands.I could feel my heart as it raced while translating those archaic symbols I've been studying. Each word chilled my blood a little further."'Born of betrayal's pain, changed by love's sacrifice, marked by the storm's fury.'" The words echo in the vacant office. "No. this can't be."Thudding footsteps enter. I whirl to find Callum in the doorway, his face a mask of resignation."You weren't

I stood in the center of a ritual circle, with the stench of sage and wolfsbane burning my nostrils, as three ancient witches closed the triangle around me. Hundreds of black candles cast dancing shadows along the stone walls of this chamber beneath the London pack house."Stop fidgeting," Agnes whispered, her milky eyes managing to find mine in this dim light. "The energies must align perfectly."I didn't move, didn't twitch, even when every instinct inside of me yelled to stand and run. My gaze slid to the place where Callum had retreated into the darkness; yellow eyes glowed back within the candlelight. The weight of his regard stirred my skin, as unrelenting in my ire as my abiding outrage."You had no right to turn me," I said into the silence. "And then put me through this?"Callum stepped forward, his jaw clenched. "Olivia-""Silence!" Moira ordered, her dark skin aglow with ritual markings. "The ceremony starts.The three witches clasped hands, their voices intertwining in som

My eyes burn with the bitter taste of betrayal as I gaze upon the boardroom full of traitors. The lies reeking up the boardroom would never be camouflaged with inane cologne, at least not to a sensitive nose."A vote of no confidence?" I kept my voice smooth though my wolf clawed beneath the skin. "Great timing, Harrison?Harrison Wells wouldn't meet my eyes. The silver-haired corporate veteran's hand shook slightly as he shuffled his papers, and he reeked of Amelia's signature perfume."The board feels that recent developments warrant discussion of leadership changes," said Harrison.My fingertips danced around the edge of my tablet, cooling against them as it did, tracing gathering storm clouds over London's skyline outside glass walls. Twelve pairs of eyes watched each of my movements-their heartbeats thundering in a chaotic symphony to my sensitive ears."Before we proceed with this vote," I said, rising slow for effect, "I believe there are some relevant documents the board shoul

The wooden walls of the gathering hall seemed to press in on me as I watched the pack fracture before my eyes. Moonlight filtering through high windows cast long shadows across faces I'd known for months-faces now twisted with doubt and anger. The usually warm space felt oppressive, heavy with unspoken accusations."This isn't about the prophecy anymore," Marcus's voice cut through the tense silence. "Our Alpha's judgment is compromised."My heart clenched as I watched Callum's jaw tighten. He stood beside his ornate chair at the head of the hall, shoulders rigid. Even from my position near the back, the fury radiating off him in waves was palpable."You dare question my leadership?" Callum's voice was even, but his eyes danced dangerously."I dare question any Alpha who puts his human mate above pack safety," Marcus spat the words. His amber eyes gleamed with defiance as he stepped forward. "While other packs prepare for war, you chase prophecies and a woman who brings nothing but do

"Your power is wasted on you." The High Priestess's voice slithered through the sanctum like poison. Purple light danced across her angular features as she circled me, her dark robes brushing against the Victorian townhouse's warped floor. My wolf bristled beneath my skin, hackles raised at the wrongness of this place where space itself seemed to bend and twist."I don't want your magic." I kept my voice even, though nausea rolled through me at the sight of Amelia's triumphant smirk from the shadows."What you want is irrelevant." The High Priestess's fingers traced an arc through the air, sending sparks of violet energy crackling around me. "The ritual requires a vessel of both worlds. You're perfect."My muscles seized as foreign magic probed at my defenses. The wolf howled inside me, thrashing against this invasion. But beneath her fury, something else stirred-an ancient power I'd never felt before, responding to the witch's call."Stop fighting it," Amelia purred, stepping into t

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

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 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

"Consider it done," Elena Volkov said firmly. "Go save your mate."Callum didn't waste time responding. "Alistair, organize the medical team. We need the anti-silver treatments developed by pharmaceutical. Fiona, coordinate from here." He was already moving toward the door."Where are you going?" Alistair asked, though he already knew the answer."To get Olivia.""Callum," Fiona called, her expression grim as she studied the biometric readings from Olivia's tactical gear. "Her heart rate's dropping."The Alpha paused, his face a mask of controlled fury. "Then I'd better hurry."I drifted in and out of consciousness, aware of voices around me but unable to respond. The silver burned through my system, preventing my werewolf healing from closing the wound."Stay with me, Olivia," Lucas urged, his hands pressing against my side. "The extraction team is coming."Silver poisoning was a unique agony—like acid in the veins, burning from within. I'd experienced it before, but never this sever
The Alpha's Broken Mate The Final Countdown
The damp air of London's underground tunnels clung to my skin, rank with the smell of sulfur and centuries of decay. I signaled the team to halt, my eyes adjusting to the darkness."Scent markers ahead," Lucas whispered, his military training evident in his precise movements. "Two hundred meters.""Everyone clear on the objective?" I asked, adjusting the tactical pack containing Amelia's stolen files against my back.Sophia nodded, her dark eyes gleaming amber in the low light. "Get in, confirm virus distribution points, get out. No engagement unless necessary.""And if it becomes necessary?" I challenged."Then we make them regret ever hearing the word 'werewolf,'" Lucas growled, his fingers flexing as if already imagining claws extending.The three younger wolves—Elliot, Zara, and Dominic—exchanged nervous glances. They were pack members Callum had reluctantly agreed to include after I'd insisted we needed their specialized skills."Stay focused," I told them. "Remember your trainin
The Alpha's Broken Mate The Storm Before
Rain lashed against the windows of the executive suite of Wolfe Industries as I stared at the security footage playing on my tablet. My hands shook as I watched James-my ex-husband-stalk through the loading docks of our research facility."How did he get access?" I demanded, my voice sharp enough to make Fiona flinch."Amelia gave him the codes." Fiona's Irish lilt carried a growl. "She's been feeding him that experimental serum for weeks."My stomach lurched. The mate bond with Callum pulsed with shared anxiety-he'd felt my distress from across the city. "Show me the lab footage again."The video showed James injecting himself with a glowing blue liquid, his body convulsing as bones crackled with the transformation. But this wasn't a normal shift. The black wolf that emerged was grotesque, nearly twice the normal size."Olivia." Callum's voice came from the doorway, low with tension. He crossed to me in three long strides, pulling me into his arms. I breathed in his scent - pine and
The Alpha's Broken Mate The Price of Power
James stood in Callum's office, and the mere presence made my skin shiver. His new form felt like ill-fitting skin with twitchy movements. Behind him, the full moon neared, cloaking everything in an ominous luminescence through the floor-to-ceiling windows over the panorama of London at dusk."I did this for you, Olivia," James said, shifting a step closer. His amber eyes flashed in that terrible rhythm of human and wolf. Terrifyingly too irregular. "To understand what you've become.""Back," I stammered, continuing my reverse pace. The shifting in James wasn't quite right - a perversely distorted sense in his energy - wrong."Afraid?" He let loose with a burst of manic-tinged laughter. "The great Olivia Blackwood afraid of her own husband?"Ex-husband," I corrected sharply. "And you're insane if you think this changes anything between us.""Everything's changed!" James lunged forward, grabbing my arm. His grip burned like fire. "You took everything from me when you chose him. Now I'l
The Alpha's Broken Mate Blood and Business
I cross-referenced another bank statement, and the numbers on my screen all began to blur together. My wolf bristled beneath my skin, restless after hours being trapped in my office. But I had to find the connection. Had to prove Amelia's research wasn't just funded by concerned citizens."Got you," I whispered to myself, my fingers flying across the keyboard. Shell companies folded into shell companies, but they all connected to one base-PharmaCorp Global.My office door burst open. "Olivia." Callum's voice was tight with tension. Amber eyes locked onto mine, and instantly my wolf perked up at her Alpha's presence. "The board meeting's been moved up. They know."My heart stopped. "How?"Amelia." His jaw clenched. "She sent proof to every major shareholder.""I'll come with you." I stood, but Callum raised his hand."No. Stay here. Keep digging." His voice softened. "Please, love. This could save us all."He was gone before I could argue. I forced my attention back to my screen, the a
The Alpha's Broken Mate Gathering Storm
I quaked and replayed for the third time the recorded shot from surveillance cameras. Amelia's secret facility gleamed on screen in all clinical white and beige, and then he appeared-the figure of James meticulously recording how captured werewolves struggled and writhed through transformation."Olivia." Callum's voice held concern tight as he stood a step behind. "You really don't want to go over this again.""I do." It cut deeper than James's infidelity ever had. "He's working with Amelia to develop a 'cure' that's nothing but torture.""We have enough evidence." Callum's hand settled on my shoulder. "The pack alphas are waiting."Turning from the screen, I met his amber gaze. "How many did they experiment on?""Too many." His jaw clenched. "But we'll end this. Tonight."It was already chaotic when we entered. Five London alphas prowled the marble conference room, centuries of rivalry crackling between them."This is a waste of time," Marcus snarled, his massive frame towering over
The Alpha's Broken Mate Primal Power
My body shook with strange power coursing through my veins. Shattered glass crunched beneath my feet, scattered across the marble floors of Wolfe Industries' headquarters. The full moon's ethereal glow filtered through the broken windows, casting long shadows across the destruction."Olivia." Callum's voice was tight with concern. "Your eyes."I caught my reflection in a shard of glass. Where my green eyes once were, brilliant gold now blazed back at me. The power rising inside was ancient, primal-something far beyond the normal werewolf strength I'd grown so accustomed to."What's happening to me?" My voice shook as another wave of energy pulsed through my body.Callum took a step toward me, then stopped, once more. My mate was one of the most powerful Alphas in London, but even he acted cautious against the force emanating from my skin. Through our bond, I felt his amazement and uncertainty."The prophecy," he breathed. "It's actually happening."The screech of helicopter blades cut
The Alpha's Broken Mate Convergence
Chapter 89: ConvergencePain rips through my body as another wave of silver fire courses beneath my skin. Through blurred vision, I catch my reflection in the penthouse window – ethereal symbols pulse across my arms in an ancient script I shouldn't understand but somehow do. My fingertips trace the glowing marks, each touch sending sparks of electricity through my nerve endings."She's burning up." Marcus's worried voice sounds like it comes from afar. "The Proto-Lycian markings are spreading at a speed I have never seen. At this rate.""At what rate?" I demand in my hoarse voice. "Tell me what's happening to me!"The pack healer gives a glance at his assistant. "The ancient bloodlines stir within you. But the blend of First Born and witch ancestry-it's unprecedented."I try to focus on the London skyline beyond the glass, but my enhanced senses are going haywire. The heartbeat of the city pounds in my ears-thousands of footsteps, whispered conversations, and. something else. A primal
The Alpha's Broken Mate Charisma
The ancient Celtic runes swirled in front of my eyes as Emilia's fingers quivered across the worn leather journal. My heart crashed against my ribs, each beat a repetition of the omen to be. The heat from the lamp couldn't dispel the chill in my bones."Olivia." Her voice broke. "The prophecy. it's about you."Callum's presence behind me shifted, his warmth radiating against my back. The lamp's glow cast long shadows across the pack library's wooden shelves, making the ancient texts loom like silent witnesses."What do you mean?" I fought to keep my voice steady."Five bloodlines must come together under the power of the crimson moon." The pattern that outlined the runes glowed beneath the touch of Emilia's tracing finger. "The Blackwoods- which is your family. Should one of these five fail, the ritual has to. This can't-"I turned, and fell, nearly stepping back onto Callum, my face beet red."A werewolf," Callum completed in a growl. "Your bloodline is no coincidence, Olivia. The Ma
