Rune’s POV

I stood outside the restaurant, my body tense, heart pounding against my ribcage as if it was trying to break free.

The street was alive around me, bustling with human activity… laughter, conversations, the clatter of dishes and cutlery from the nearby tables. But none of it registered. My entire focus was on what I sensed inside, on her. Alora.

I could feel her. It was undeniable. The same pull I had felt for years, the connection that had once bound us so tightly it seemed impossible to break.

Even now, standing here after weeks of searching, of wandering through the world without a clear direction, that connection flared to life inside me with a heat that nearly knocked me off my feet.

How could I have thought I could stay away from her? Every second of the past few weeks had been a slow descent into madness without her presence. The city was just a blur around me, just another human environment that I didn’t care about, didn’t understand.

All I cared about was what

    Rune’s POVI stepped outside, my frustration boiling over as I walked aimlessly, trying to clear my head. The rush of people around me blurred, my senses dulled by the chaos of my emotions. I was desperate, my instincts on high alert. I had to find her. I couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that she was close, too close for me to ignore. Too close for me to think I’m hallucinating. Then it hit me.I stopped in my tracks, my eyes narrowing as I glanced back at the restaurant I had just passed. No... behind me. My senses flared, a sharp pull in my chest, and without thinking, I turned around, nearly stumbling as I hurried back. My steps were so quick I almost tripped, even with my werewolf speed. My heart pounded in my chest as I approached the building, a new determination flooding through me. Something in me has snapped in place. This was it. She was inside. I could feel her.I reached another glass door, this one even busier than the last. People filled the place, moving about, ch

    Alora’s POVThere was that feeling again, the strange tingling beneath my skin. It was subtle but persistent, creeping up the back of my neck like a ghost I couldn’t shake. It’s getting more and more intense. I paused for a moment, my hands freezing in mid-motion as I handed a plate to a customer. My pulse quickened, my senses heightening as a deep sense of awareness settled over me.Rune.I tried to dismiss it, tried to shake it off as just a lingering feeling from memories I couldn’t quite escape. He wasn’t here. He couldn’t be. I was far away from him, from that life, from everything that tethered me to my past. Yet, no matter how much distance I put between us, this connection —this unshakable awareness of his presence— never seemed to fade. The sensation was undeniable, like a fire smoldering just beneath my skin, refusing to be extinguished.David’s voice broke through my thoughts, pulling me back to the present. "You alright, Alora?" he asked, his smile easy and warm as he se

  • The Alpha’s Forbidden Obsession    83: Found

    Alora’s POVThe restaurant was eerily quiet after the last of the customers had left, the chairs stacked on tables, and the lights dimmed. David and I were the only ones left, locking up after another long night. I moved to the counter to grab my things, absently wiping my hands on my apron before pulling it over my head and hanging it on the hook. We are done for the day and it was yet another success. More than yesterday’s success. My hand instinctively moved to rest on my stomach, now fully visible without the apron hiding my growing bump. The baby was big enough that there was no mistaking it anymore. And I opt for a body hug today because I’m a proud mummy. David was chatting about something light, but my mind was elsewhere. I could still feel that strange sensation under my skin, the same tingling, crawling feeling I had been trying to ignore all evening. I thought I was just unnecessarily paranoid. Something wasn’t right. Something in the air felt heavy, thick with tension,

  • The Alpha’s Forbidden Obsession    84: Mine forever

    Rune’s POVI stood there, staring at her through the restaurant's glass doors, my chest heaving with each ragged breath as I tried to control the red mist that clouded my vision. Alora. The sight of her, standing there so casually, talking with that man, made my blood boil to the point of madness. My fingers itched to lash out, to destroy something, anything, yet I knew deep down, no matter how blinding my rage, I could never physically harm her. I would never raise a hand to her. No matter what she had done. No matter the betrayal I felt ripping through my chest, I’d protect her from myself if I had to. I can’t bring myself. But that didn’t mean I wouldn’t destroy the pathetic excuse for a man she had settled for. The one she chose over me. I could feel my fangs threatening to push through, the wolf inside me barely restrained as I stood there, watching, waiting for him to step out. My eyes were locked on her, but I was waiting for him. Her lover. Her pathetic replacement for m

    Alora’s POV Rune’s lips crashed into mine with a force that took the air out of my lungs. I gasped, my hands instinctively clutching the front of his black leather jacket, torn between pushing him away or pulling him closer. The taste of him, the intensity of his kiss, it was overwhelming. His lips moved against mine as if he was claiming me, like he had been starved for this, for me. Like he was sucking my soul right through my mouth and I love it. My body responded before my mind could catch up, my fingers curling into the soft leather, pulling him closer despite myself. I thought I was pushing him away but I was doing the exact opposite. I hadn’t felt like this in so long. His hands found my waist, gripping tightly as he pressed me against the wall, his body strong and unyielding. It was like he was everywhere at once, and the rush of it all sent a wave of heat through me. His touch ignited a fire deep inside, one I hadn’t realized was still there. As his hands slid down, lif

    Alora’s POVI pant as Rune unbuckles his belt and I stare with bated breath as he lets his pants and boxers fall to his feet. He’s always a sight to behold, something that I can’t take my eyes off of, even when my instincts tell me he’s dangerous.Despite that danger, or more like because of it, I’ve been caught in his orbit with no way of escaping. I have tried twice already and I think this is my time to know there is never escaping Rune. He is Rune for a reason. He lifts one of my legs and loops it around his waist. I keep it there, unable to look away from his cock. It’s hard, thick, and so ready that my insides flutter with a carnal type of desire.He is the only person that could make me feel this way. I get wet just by the sight of him. I hated it at first because this is my freaking brother but now? I think I’m getting used to it and I love it. The physical connection I mean. He calls the darkness in me. Rune enters me slowly, and even with my slick core, his cock forces its

    Rune’s POV As I stood there, breathing heavily, Alora’s chest rose and fell in sync with mine. Our skin slick with sweat, her body relaxed into mine in the aftermath of our release. Her lips, slightly bruised from our rough kisses, parted as she tried to catch her breath. There was a beautiful glow about her, one I hadn’t seen in years, and I hated how much I liked it. She had filled out, her body softer and curvier than before. Pregnancy had given her this new look, and I couldn’t deny how much I loved it. But knowing another man's child was responsible for this transformation filled me with rage. The red mist crept into my vision again, clouding my thoughts with jealousy and fury. My mind couldn’t wrap around it, she wasn’t carrying my child. Someone else had touched her, had laid claim to her in the most intimate way. That thought alone made me want to tear the world apart. I leaned in and kissed her again, harder this time, my lips pressing against hers with the same frustr

    Alora’s POVSitting in the back seat with Rune, I could feel the weight of his presence pressing down on me, suffocating yet intoxicating at the same time. His hand was wrapped around mine, fingers interlaced tightly, refusing to let go. I had tried earlier, tugging my hand free, but the dark glare he shot me sent a cold shiver down my spine, freezing me in place. That look, full of dominance, full of unspoken promises, reminded me that escape was futile, and I hated how much it thrilled me. It thrilled me so much as it scared me just as much. I swallowed hard, forcing myself to turn toward the window, the passing scenery doing little to distract me from the turmoil inside. I hated how he always found me. No matter where I ran or how far I thought I could hide, he ALWAYS knew how to track me down. It was like he had some invisible thread binding us together, pulling me back to him every time. Or am I tracked with some device?He would have found me sooner. Not months later. And i

    Alora’s POVThe next morning I woke up to the scent of roasted meat that filled the cave. It was the fifth day in a row that food had mysteriously appeared, always placed at the edge of the cave far enough away that it seemed like whoever was delivering it didn’t want to intrude. It was always the same, roasted animal meat still warm, smelling so tempting that I couldn’t help but devour it the moment I woke up. It wasn’t elegant, it wasn’t pretty, but I ate like I hadn’t seen food in days because I hadn’t. For the first three days I’d survived on nothing but hope and desperation. The thought that Rune might come back had kept me going but now... now, I was just clinging to whatever kept my body strong enough to move. I need to feed my daughter with the little food I have in my tummy. The sixth day passed the same way food left at the entrance, hot and ready. I wondered if the woman from Rune’s pack was behind it, realizing Rune wasn’t coming back. It was a comfort to imagine that

  • The Alpha’s Forbidden Obsession    174: Selfish move

    Alora’s POVI woke up the next morning, the bed cold and empty beside me. Rune was gone. I blinked up at the dim cave ceiling, feeling the chill settle around me as I stretched my aching limbs. I smiled thinking about yesterday night and how Rune took what he wanted without reserve. My whole body was worn out sore in places I didn’t even know could ache. But it was a good kind of exhaustion, the kind that came after the best sleep I’ve had in forever. I hope we can do it again soon to forget all about our future problems. Pulling on my clothes I glanced at Nevaeh, still fast asleep in her crib. Relief hit me like a wave as I noticed her breathing was steady and calm, her tiny chest rising and falling like it should. She is alright. My eyes stung and I had to swallow back the emotion that swelled in my throat. I leaned over, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead feeling her soft warmth against my lips. I had almost given up almost thought I'd lose her, and now, here she was alive

    Alora’s POV He has so much control this night. I don’t have it but he seem to have tons of it tonight. I tried to steady myself, hands pressing into the rough stone floor of the cave, but he reached out and gripped my wrists guiding them back to hold myself open for him. “Don’t let go,” he murmured, his voice low and commanding. The tone was laced with a hint of danger, one I’d grown both wary of and drawn to. Then, I felt the cool sensation of liquid against me. Is that his… saliva? My pulse quickened as he spread it over my most sensitive areas, each touch deliberate and torturously slow. Before I could even brace myself, Rune’s hands tightened on my hips, and in one swift, powerful thrust, he entered me. The force made me gasp, the shock of it going through me as his body claimed mine entirely. The sensation was overwhelming, his presence consuming, leaving me no room to breathe or think, only to feel. His breath was hot against my neck and his dark whisper sent a thri

  • The Alpha’s Forbidden Obsession    172: Cave confession

    Alora’s POVIn the dim light of the cave, the raw, primal need in Rune’s gaze felt like a live wire running through the air. He’d never looked at me like this before, with tensed lust, mixed with a fierce restraint that made the moment even more intoxicating. For me, every surge of arousal was fueled by my feelings for him. I wanted him more with each passing second, even as a flicker of nerves darted through me. “Turn around and walk to the bed,” he commanded, his voice gravelly.I turned slowly, letting my hips sway, feeling the weight of his gaze on me, heavy and searing. His need for control, for ownership, was almost palpable, and I knew he was savoring every inch of me.Nevaeh was in a crib by the fire to keep her warmer. I wonder how that strange woman knew but then I’m done questioning the reality I’m in now. “Get on your knees at the foot of it, face down, ass up” he said, voice low.I sucked in a breath, anticipation pooling in my core, and eased into the position, the ro

    Alora’s POVHis tone held an edge that was unmistakable, and my pulse raced at the authority in his voice. This was different. This was the Rune that likes to play and doesn’t care we are in a cave right now with our daughter feet away. Rune had always been the one to reach for me first, to take charge by peeling away the layers himself, rough and impatient. But this... this felt like a test, like he wanted me to submit in every situation we were in. “Why…?” The word slipped out before I could stop it, but his expression hardened.“Don’t ask questions. When I tell you to strip, you strip. Now.” He said, his expression blank but heated. I flinched, my body reacting not out of fear but from the raw intensity in his voice. His gaze held me captive, and despite the ache of everything happening around us, the danger that loomed, this moment was our escape. My hands rose to the hem of my silk gown, trembling, anticipation curling in my stomach as I hesitated. The cave’s cool air prickl

    Alora’s POVThe weight of everything we’d learned (the prophecies, the warnings, the strange woman with her cryptic knowledge) was too much. I felt like I was drowning under layers of secrets and mysteries, each one pulling me deeper. I couldn’t think straight, couldn’t focus. All I knew was that I needed relief, something to steady me, to quiet my mind and body. And I know where to get it. I know who would take away my worries and make me forget the last few weeks. I lay Nevaeh down gently on the plush bed, brushing a tender hand over her tiny arm, making sure she was safe and breathing steadily. But as I stepped back, my chest was tight, my nerves stretched so thin that I felt like I might snap. Yes, the cave has a little chamber with old stuff inside but very comfortable and warm. Like an old woman’s little haven. Turning, I found Rune’s gaze on me. His presence was a strange comfort in this overwhelming night. Without a word, I stepped toward him, closing the space between us

    Alora’s POVHe tensed, a flicker of something crossing his eyes, worry, hesitation. His gaze drifted over to Nevaeh, then back to me. There was a weight to his expression, something more than the usual coldness.“I know what you’re thinking,” I said, my gaze softening at him. “If you’re worried about your pack, Rune, then go to them. I don’t need you to come with me. I just need my daughter safe. You can go back to them, to your responsibilities, if that’s what you want.”They also need him and I can’t keep dragging him down my problems. It seems like everything started with me not knowing my real parents then finding out they were the most powerful beings! He was silent, studying me, and for a moment, I saw the flicker of conflict behind his stoic exterior. But then, he shook his head, his resolve hardening. “I made a promise to you. And to her,” he murmured, reaching a hand out to brush his fingers across Nevaeh’s cheek. “I’ll see this through.”With a soft exhale, he drew me clos

They want revenge and they are coming for our mortal lineage.” “There’s more to this than you realize. My curse was not just for breaking a rule. It was to keep you hidden, safe. But I failed in that, and now they know.” “Your father… is a lycan. The last of its kind and that was what attracted me to him in the first place. The gods wanted him because he defied them to become a lycan. They know you carry his blood, a bloodline they thought was wiped out.” She paused, a moment of hesitation. “Your daughter’s life is in danger, but she also holds the key to a power they fear.” A cold dread settled over me. “What power?” She stepped closer, her form half in shadow. “The power to break the gods' own curses. She could free mortals from the chains the gods and will have more lycans in the mortal realm. She could shift the balance. They can’t afford to let that happen.” “So… they wo

    Alora’s POVShortly after the Moon Goddess left, the hooded goddess entered. She moved with a quiet, steady grace over the floor. She approached silently, then held out two neatly folded sets of clothes.“Put these on,” she said, her voice soft but leaving no room for question.I exchanged a glance with Rune, and we both dressed quickly, the fabric strange but surprisingly comfortable. It felt odd, the simple act of wearing clothes again, and I sensed Rune’s protectiveness bristling under the surface. As soon as we finished, she gestured for us to follow her through the stone corridor, leading us to a dimly lit chamber. A table was set, two plates filled with food, and though my stomach was tight with tension, I realized how hungry I was. We sat down and ate, though Rune watched her carefully, his suspicion plain.Finally, she turned to him. “I need to speak to her alone.”Rune tensed, his hand drifting protectively toward mine. “If you think I’ll leave her here alone with you—”She
