“She’s dangerous,” Morrigana said flatly.

“We already know that,” Lucas, Cove’s Beta sighed,

“No!” she snapped, her eyes darkening. “Not like that.”

Lucas studied her. “Then explain.”

Morrigana’s fingers drummed against the wooden table. “Few days ago, I went to her prison, you know to do my job; interrogate her, get information.”

“So?” Lucas frowned, rolling his eyes in exasperation.

She leaned forward. “Have you ever wondered how she got out of the chains, how it broke?”

“Morrigana get to the point. Alpha Cove seeks my presence”

Morrigana exhaled. “Ok, fine… I was there. She had this surge… this power surge. The chains shattered all of a sudden, and I was thrown back like I weighed nothing.”

There was brief silence, but Lucas broke it.

Lucas skeptical but unsettled. “What are you talking about, Morrigana. She’s human.”

“No, she’s not,” Morrigana snapped back, shaking her head. “She’s… something else.” She hesitated, choosing her next words carefully.

“I think she’s a witch.” She f

    An underground chamber was thick with tension. Fires from torches lit flickering lights against the hard stone walls, casting long shadows over the gathered wolves. Derek sat at the head of the room, his fingers lazily tapping the handle of his throne, as he observed the faces before him.To his right, Ronan stood stiffly, his broad frame exuding quiet authority. He had been Derek’s second for years, the only one he trusted to speak plainly. To his left, lounging on a makeshift throne of stone, was Melissa; the Mistress of Shadows, as some called her.Beautiful, deadly, and utterly unreadable.She stretched, her dark silky hair cascading over one shoulder as she spoke to Derek with amusement.“You actually want to work with Conan?” Her voice was like honey, smooth and mocking.“Darling, that man would rather slit your throat than shake your hands with you.”Derek smirked. “Maybe.

  • The Alpha’s Luna and the Bloodmoon Amulet   Chapter one: A DEAL WITH SHADOWS

    The cold evening sky of Crimson City was filled with heavy clouds, blocking out the stars with the moon partly covered. The city’s streets filled with grime, due to a heavy downpour of rain, and shadows with whispers from those living in the streets adding a little life to it. Lycia Carter, crouched on the rooftop of an abandoned warehouse. Her breath fogged in the frosty air struggling with the cold. Her arms wrapped around her body and her eyes stretched out, leading toward the glittering mansions of the wealthy. Lycia spent her life living with the forgotten, the unseen and the unworthy. The kind of people who scraped by on luck and grit to survive. But tonight was different. Something different was going to happen. Tonight, she was on a mission that could change everything, not just for herself but for Jack too. Jack’s voice echoed in her thoughts, very weak and rasping, as he held her hands that morning.“..listen kid… don't do anything foolish. I’ll get better, I promise” h

    A chill ran down her spine. They were not alone. The voice was low, smooth, and laced with a subdued menace that made Lycia’s blood run cold. Her hands were still hovering over the desk, her every instinct screaming at her to turn around, to run, to fight. But she stayed still, her breath shallow, her mind racing. This wasn’t part of the plan. But then again, plans in Crimson City rarely survived the night.Before she could react, a pair of strong arms grabbed her from behind, pinning her against the wall. She barely had a chance to scream, before air was knocked out of her lungs, and she struggled, but the grip around her wrists was unyielding and too strong. His presence was overwhelming, the heat of his body pressing against her back. Her breath came in ragged gasps as his hand slid down her arm, pulling the small dagger she had in crossbody bag from her effortlessly. His fingers lingered on her skin, a dangerous mix of possessiveness and raw power.Lycia struggled, trying to c

    Lycia stirred from the haze of unconsciousness, the remnants of restless dreams clawing at her mind. The feeling of weightlessness from her escape attempt and the crushing certainty of Cove’s grip, all replaying in flashes in her mind. Her eyes fluttered open, and for a moment, the soft, golden light around her felt odd and disorienting. The world around her was calm, in fact too calm, and it took her a few seconds to remember where she was. Her heart sank as her surroundings came into focus. She was lying in a massive bed, draped in blankets so soft and luxurious that they felt almost otherworldly against her skin. The mattress beneath her was plush, the kind that swallowed you whole. She ran her fingers along the surface of the blankets, feeling silk and fur, yet it felt wrong, alien and somewhat mocking. The room itself was quite imposing. The polished wooden floors reflected the soft light spilling from a chandelier that hung like a humongous spider from the ceiling. Floor-to-

    It was night time. The silence in the room was oppressive. Lycia laid on the edge of the bed. She tossed and turned around on her bed, her mind plagued with Cove’s words. Trying to understand what he meant when he said“For surviving”. What did he mean? Was he going to hurt her?Different thoughts ran through her mind, but none had answers to them. As the hours dragged on, sleep remained elusive. Slipping just out of reach each time her eyelids grew heavy. But when it finally came, it swept her away like a tide. It brought with it strange, and vivid dreams. Lycia stood in a forest. It was vast, bathed in eerie silvery light and the trees seemed impossibly tall, with branches reaching towards the sky as if they were grasping for the glowing moon overhead. Each leaf shimmered as though dusted with frost. The air was sharp, alive with the scent of damp earth and pine, carrying whispers she couldn’t understand but felt compelled to follow. As she walked, barefoot and unarmed, the gro

    The vast, dimly lit hall of the Lycan Council chamber stretched endlessly, its high vaulted ceilings lost in shadows. Pale moonlight filtered through the ancient stained glass windows, casting jagged patterns across the stone floor. It echoed with the sound of muted footsteps as Cove paced at the head of the long, scarred table. His dark gaze was cold, unwavering, yet his body pulsed with a barely contained fury. The air felt thick with tension, the flickering torches casting long, jagged shadows on the stone walls, as if the very room was holding its breath.Cove stood at the head of the long, weathered oak table, his posture rigid and his expression hard. The lycan heads , the pack’s elite leaders, gathered around him, their unease palpable. They watched him in uneasy silence. Their faces, marked with scars and hardened by battle. This was no ordinary meeting.Oric, the largest of the Lycan heads, and the Beta of the pack. His presence, a mountain of strength and authority with his

    The moon hung low in the sky, its pale glow illuminating the thick dark forest. A shadow darting in between the forest trees, the figure silent as a predator; steps precise, before pausing near a hidden entrance, carved into the side of a cliff. She glanced over her shoulder for a moment, carefully scanning the dark forest to see if anyone had followed her. Every rustling leaf and distant shadow keeping her on edge.Raven’s chest heaved; she was exhausted as she pushed open the heavy wooden door; the cold damp air, inside what looked like a hideout, sending shivers down her spine. She stepped into the dimly lit hideout, her movements purposeful, despite the exhaustion that weighed on her limbs. The sounds of muffled voices echoed through the stone walls, leading her deeper into the lair. Conan was waiting for her arrival. He stood at the center of the cavern, his broad shoulders stiff with tension. His piercing eyes, dark and unreadable, locked onto Raven the moment she entered, with

    The air in the cavern, Conan’s hideout; was heavy with the scent of damp stone and burning torches. Raven sat at the end of the war table alone, her fingers brushing the edges of the map laid out before her. The symbols seemed to dance under the flickering light, their meanings almost close yet frustratingly difficult to grasp.Her mind replaying Conan’s annoying words: “You’d better hope you do. Because if you don’t, Raven; you’ll wish I’d abandoned you instead.”Raven stared at the ancient map in her hands, frustration bubbling up inside her. The wornout lines and strange symbols on the map seemed to mock her as if daring her to uncover their secrets. She hated riddles with a passion, and this one felt particularly cruel. Every twist and turn of the map carried the weight of life and death, one wrong move, and everything could fall apart. Her heart pounded as she realized the stakes. This wasn’t just a game or a puzzle; it was a test, and failure wasn’t an option. Her instincts told

    The first wolf lunged towards Conan.Raven barely had time to react before Conan moved. His body twisted, avoiding the wolf’s snapping jaws by an inch. In one fluid motion, he grabbed the dagger strapped to his thigh and plunged it deep into the werewolves’ ribs. Causing the werewolf to let out a strangled yelp, that echoed through the trees as the beast collapsed, squealing for help in the damp, moonlit clearing.But the others didn’t hesitate.Two more lone wolves sprang forward, their eyes blazing with hunger. There was no plan in their attack, only pure, reckless desperation. Unlike pack wolves, they weren’t bound by loyalty or strategy. They fought for survival alone, driven by nothing but raw bloodlust.Conan turned sharply, ready to face them head on. The first wolf lunged for Conan’s arm, its jaws snapping, but he moved fast, twisting himself out of reach and slicing deep into its side. The beast let out a pained yelp, stumbling back. The second wolf barely had a chance to rea

    Her body twisted, bones shifting beneath her skin. White fur sprouted along her arms, her nails sharpening into claws. The air crackled with power.Conan squeezed his eyes shut.The sounds that followed were not human.Snarls. Roars. The clash of claws against claws. The crack of bones snapping.He felt his baby sister tremble in his arms, and he held her tighter, biting his lip to stop from crying out.ThenA sharp, agonized scream.His mother’s scream.Conan’s eyes flew open.She lay on the ground, blood pooling beneath her. The werewolf loomed over her, its massive jaws dripping blood. She was still breathing, but barely.Her eyes looked toward the crawl space, locking onto Conan’s.She mouthed something,“Run.”Then the beast struck.A sickening crack.Silence.Something inside Conan shattered.His vision blurred, his breath coming in ragged sobs. His small hands trembled against his sister’s bundle, but he couldn’t move, couldn’t look away.The werewolf lifted his mother’s lifele

    Vandal placed a firm hand on Conan’s shoulder, his voice steady but filled with grief. “My job here is done. I must return to the Void.”He stepped back, his figure fading like a dying flame. A cold wind rushed through the trees as shadows gathered around him, twisting and shifting. The air felt heavy, as if the world itself was holding its breath. Vandal gave Conan one last look; one filled with pain, determination, and something unreadable, before vanishing into the darkness.Conan stood frozen. His breath came in quick, uneven gasps. Then, the memories struck like a tidal wave, crashing into him all at once.The scent of smoke and blood.The howls ripping through the night.Screams; his mother’s voice, desperate and shaking.His mother knelt beside him, pressing a shaking finger to his lips.“Shh, my little cup. Stay quiet, no matter what happens.”Conan didn’t understand. His little hands clung to her dress as she held his baby sister close, wrapping the child tightly in a bundle

    The air was foggy outside, with the scent of damp earth and the distant howls of nocturnal creatures. Raven wandered outside the cavern, her thoughts tangled, she couldn’t stop but overthink her place in all of this.The weight of the truth unsettled her, eating up the edges of her usually unshakable confidence. She had spent years mastering her art of manipulation, twisting people to her will, yet tonight, she felt an unfamiliar unease creeping into her bones.She walked further, drawn by the need for more solitude, but the soft murmur of voices in the distance caught her attention. Instinctively, she pressed herself against the rough bark of a tree, her breath shallow as she strained to listen to the sound she heard. Just beyond the tree line, under the pale glow of the moon, she saw Conan standing stiffly before a shadowy figure, cloaked. The figure’s presence exuded authority, a chilling aura that made Raven’s skin develop sudden goose bumps."The map," the figure demande, his vo

    Lycia sat on the edge of the bed, her body was tensed, her hands barely holding her body upright. She hadn't slept. The night had been long and restless, her mind replaying every horrifying detail of the battle she had witnessed, and every moment of Cove’s transformation. Her prison was even more unwelcoming as ever, the walls that were made of rough, unpolished stone, trapping her in their icy embrace, reminding her that she was nothing more than Cove’s prisoner. A small barred window high up let in faint light, casting eerie shadows on the disarranged bed she sat on. The air inside smelled of moisture and decaying timber, reminding her how far she was from freedom.She turned to the mirror looking at her reflection in the old, dust covered mirror across the room , which made her stomach twist. She looked so unkept; her long hair tangled, her track suit wrinkled and stained with dirt and dried blood. Dark circles hung under her eyes, making her look drained and weary. Her lips w

    The grand Lycan Hall buzzed with whispers, tension thick as the smoke curling from the kitchen. Warriors sat at long wooden tables, their fur still stained with blood from the battle, their faces scarred. Maids walked between them, pouring fresh ale and setting down trays of food, their ears tuned to the whispers swirling like a restless wind.Tonight, the talk was not of war. It was of something far more dangerous.“Did you see it?” a young warrior asked, leaning in close, you could barely hear him over the clinking of glasses.“See what?” the older warrior beside him asked, his tone tired , his eyes red from lack of sleep.“Alpha Cove… he protected her. He fought for her.” His friend laughed and took a deep gulp of ale.“Oh, I saw it. We all did,” he said, shaking his head, his braided beard swaying like a pendulum. “Reckless. He nearly got himself killed for that human girl.”A maid placing a tray of bread hesitated, her eyes darting between the warriors. She glanced at them, her

    The forest was very quiet except for the soft sounds made by the leaves and the distant sounds of the night. Derek’s warriors moved carefully, their steps slow and heavy. Some carried fresh wounds, while others pressed hands against deep cuts that would take time to heal. Their bodies would recover, but their pride was another matter; the wound was just too deep.Near a small fire, Derek settled and sat with his warriors. His fur marked with streaks of blood; some his, some not. His dark red eyes reflected the bright light as he stared into the flames, deep in thought.Ronan, his second in command, stepped forward. His silver fur bore signs of many battles, but tonight, there was something else in his gaze, concern, maybe even doubt.“That human,” Ronan said quietly. “Why did Cove protect her?”Derek’s hands on his jaw. He had been asking himself the same question. Cove had fought with everything he had, not just to win, not just for his land, but for her. It wasn’t just instinct. It
