Morning Serenity:

“Are you awake?”

Asher's voice was a low murmur, barely audible over the soft rustle of sheets.

Elena stirred slightly, her eyes fluttering open to meet his gaze.

“Mmm... I am now,” she replied, a sleepy smile playing on her lips.

He chuckled softly, brushing a strand of hair from her face.

“Good morning,” he whispered, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead.

“Morning,” she replied, her voice husky with sleep.

They lay in comfortable silence, the morning light filtering through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room.

Asher tightened his arms around her, savoring the feeling of her body pressed against his.

He inhaled deeply, letting her scent fill his senses.

The events of the previous night replayed in his mind, each moment etched into his memory.

His inner wolf, Leo, stirred within him, a contented rumble echoing in his mind.

She is ours, Leo murmured. Ours to protect, to cherish.

Asher smiled, his fingers tracing lazy circles on Elena's back.

    God, he wanted to say yes. Yes, so she’d be beside him. Yes, so she could sit in that hall and make the men who doubted her presence shut their mouths the moment she raised her head.But he couldn’t. Not yet.He turned to her, grinning despite the ache in his chest. “Absolutely not.”Her eyebrows arched. “Why not?”“Because you’d distract me.” He nipped playfully at her bottom lip. “Every time I look at you, I forget what I’m saying. I’ll end up calling an elder by your name or proposing legislation about how everyone should smell like strawberries.”She burst into laughter, swatting him lightly. “You’re ridiculous.”“And you’re irresistible,” he said, before catching her lips in a kiss.It was supposed to be brief—a tease, a laugh—but the moment their mouths touched, the atmosphere shifted. Like a match dropped in dry grass. His hand slid behind her neck, angling her closer. Her fingers curled into his hair. The air thickened.Her body melted into his. His lips pressed more urgently.

    “I’ve missed three council sessions, delayed the joint patrol drills, and put off signing the land expansion request forms for two weeks.”Grayson raised an eyebrow. “Should I keep going?”“No.” Asher met his eyes. “I know. I’ve been off my game.”Grayson softened. “You’ve been in love.”The admission settled between them like a dropped stone in still water.Asher didn’t deny it.“I wasn’t expecting it to hit this hard,” he admitted, voice low. “It’s like... I breathe easier around her. Everything feels sharper when she’s near—and dull when she’s not.”Grayson’s expression was unreadable for a moment, then he sighed and set the map down. “Look, I get it. The bond’s intense. I felt it when I met my mate, too. You want to spend every moment with her. You should. But you’re still Alpha.”“I know.” The words were heavy. “I know, Gray.”Grayson folded his arms. “We’ve got more than just treaties to worry about. There’s something else.”Asher’s attention snapped up.“The Crest Moon Pack.”A

    "You don’t have to do this today, Elena," Lena said softly, her voice barely above a whisper as she rested her hand on Elena’s back. "No one’s forcing you.""That’s just it," Elena murmured, her eyes fixed on the doorknob as if it were a weapon. "No one is. And maybe that’s what makes it worse.""Worse?""Because if someone told me I had to do it, I could fight back. I could rebel. But this… this is my choice." Her fingers twitched, almost reaching for the knob before retreating. "And I don’t know if I’m strong enough to make it."Lena stepped in front of her, crouching just enough to meet Elena’s eyes. "You’re strong enough. You survived everything they did. You’re here. That door? It’s just wood. What’s behind it isn’t bigger than you."Elena gave a shaky laugh. "You make it sound so easy.""It’s not," Lena said, serious now. "But it’s not impossible."The silence stretched between them, interrupted only by the wind brushing gently against the windows. Elena stared down at her bare

    “You’re really out here.”The voice halted Elena mid-step.She turned slowly.Vivian.Of all people, she hadn’t expected—hadn’t *wanted*—to see her. Not here. Not now.Vivian looked nothing like the smug, glossy girl from their past. Her honey-blonde hair hung limp around her shoulders. Her eyes, once sharp with mockery, were red-rimmed and swollen. Even her posture—slouched, hands trembling—betrayed a vulnerability that didn’t belong to the girl who used to throw cruel words like knives.“Elena…” Vivian's voice cracked. “Please. I—just let me talk.”Elena stared, uncertain. Her heart had started thudding in a strange, unfamiliar rhythm—not fear, not quite anger… but something heavier. Something older.Vivian took a tentative step closer. “I know I don’t deserve your time. But I had to see you. I *needed* to say something.”Elena didn’t respond. She couldn’t. Her throat had closed up the moment Vivian’s name had burst into her world again.Vivian bit her lip and swallowed hard. “Conno

    A flutter of wings and distant laughter blended into the rustling trees. Elena had almost reached the edge of the old pack trail again when she heard it.A soft, broken sob.Faint… but unmistakable.Her brows furrowed. She paused, scanning the grove ahead.Another sniffle.Then a sharp, hiccupped cry.Without a second thought, Elena turned toward the sound, her steps quickening. The trail curved off the main path into a clearing she hadn’t walked in years—long grass, uneven ground, patches of sunlight filtering through the leafy canopy.And there, half-hidden behind a wild rose bush, sat a little girl.She couldn’t have been more than five.Her small frame was curled inward, arms hugging her knee, which was scraped and bloodied. Tears streaked her dusty cheeks. Her hair was a mess of caramel-brown curls tangled with petals and leaves. A tiny yellow sundress clung to her as she rocked back and forth, trying to muffle her sobs.Elena froze.Not in fear—but something else. Something that

  • The Alpha's Obsession    Chapter 1 - Elena Morgan

    Elena’s Point of View With a slow drag of my marker, I drew a straight line across the wall, then stepped back to look at it. Two thousand one hundred and ninety days. Almost six years had passed since my parents vanished—more like abandoned me. I wasn’t even sure why I kept track of the days. Maybe deep down, I hoped they would return someday. When I was twelve, I longed for them like any child would, but now, at nearly eighteen, I no longer wanted them back. Soon, I could leave this place forever. I never got an explanation for why they disappeared, though the most obvious reason was me—being born the weakest of the pack. Still, that didn’t justify leaving their own child behind, especially in the hands of people who despised me. Each day brought a fresh form of cruelty, whether humiliation or physical pain. And believe me, pain was always their first choice. It didn’t matter who started it; someone would, and another would finish it. The only person in the entire pack who n

    Asher's POV "Eliminate them. Show no mercy." My voice was calm but firm as I stared at the two rogues who had foolishly crossed into my land. Terror filled their eyes, but it was too late for regret. "Yes, Alpha," Grayson, one of my most capable warriors, responded before I turned away, already losing interest. I had wasted enough time dealing with intruders. My mother, Margot, was waiting for me, and I hated making her wait. Since my father, Henry, passed away, she hadn’t been the same. Truthfully, neither had I. His death changed everything. Not long after, my mother fell gravely ill, barely able to leave her bed. I missed the days when she would wake up early, smiling as she prepared breakfast for the entire pack. Losing my father left a hole in my heart, making me even more ruthless than before. But my mother’s suffering—watching her waste away—fueled an anger in me I couldn’t contain. People say when a mate dies, the one left behind experiences unbearable pain, sometime

    Elena’s POV "Alright, Lay, time to blow out the candles!" My mother’s joyful voice rang in my ears as I stared down at my birthday cake, a Lightning McQueen design in bright red. People laughed at me for picking that cake when I turned seven, saying it was for boys, but I didn’t care. Red was my favorite color, and back then, I loved cars more than anything. I took a deep breath and blew out the candles, feeling a small gust of air bounce back onto my face. A camera clicked, capturing the moment forever. "Now, what comes next, Lay?" My father’s voice came from my left, while my mother stood smiling on my right. I giggled, excited. "I make a wish, and if I wish really hard, the birthday gods will grant it!" ---A single tear slid down my cheek, landing on an old photograph—me at seven years old, grinning between my parents, Celeste and Julian. Back then, life was filled with love and happiness. My parents adored me. But something had changed. They had left, disappeared

    She blinked, her throat thick. “It’s just… hard. Knowing I wasn’t your first.”“You were,” he said, lifting her chin. “In every way that counts. You were the first time I ever made love. Not just sex. Love. The first time I ever looked at someone and thought, ‘I’d do anything to make you feel safe.’”Her eyes welled with tears.He wiped one away with his thumb. “You’re the first person I’ve ever wanted to remember every second with. Every sound you made, every look, every touch—it’s burned into me.”She turned into his chest, heart thudding.“And you’re the first,” he continued, voice cracking slightly, “who made me believe I deserved to be loved back.”Her arms tightened around him.“I hate that I wasn’t your only,” she whispered. “But I’m trying not to let that poison what we have.”He kissed the top of her head. “You don’t have to pretend it doesn’t bother you.

    Her throat tightened, heart clenching.How could he say things like that? How could he look at her like she was made of starlight and not scar tissue?She turned into his chest, hiding her face. “You’re too good to be real.”He chuckled softly, wrapping her in his arms. “I was just thinking the same thing about you.”They lay in silence for a while. Her head rested over his heartbeat, steady and grounding. His fingers traced patterns along her back, the rhythm soothing.“You surprised me,” she said finally, voice muffled against his skin.“How so?”“You… you were so gentle. So patient. And... you knew exactly what to do.” She tilted her head up, studying his face. “Have you… done this before?”He paused. “Yes. I won’t lie to you.”That made her chest ache a little—but only for a second.“Then why did this feel so… different?”He cupped her cheek, tilting her face up to his. “Because you’re not just anyone. You’re the one I love. The one I want to spend the rest of my life with. I wasn

    Her body still trembled with the aftershocks of their union, skin slick with sweat, heart pounding beneath Asher’s hand as it rested lightly over her chest.She wasn’t ready for what came next.Not because she didn’t want it—but because it was the kind of worship she’d never known, the kind that stripped her bare in ways that had nothing to do with skin.“Elena,” Asher whispered, voice low, reverent. He was still hovering above her, their breaths mingling in the quiet space between them. “I’m not done loving you.”She blinked, flushed already from what they’d shared, but his words sent a new wave of warmth crashing through her. “Y-you don’t have to—”“I want to.” His lips ghosted along her collarbone, tracing a line downward. “This is for you. Just you.”Her stomach flipped as his mouth moved lower, trailing heat down her torso, over her navel. Each kiss was deliberate, slow, and full of purpose—as though every part of her deserved to be cherished. Worshipped.He paused just below her
