“An eye for an eye,” A simple statement that stole the peace from the BlackMane pack and decided their cruel unforgiving fate. Aria Campell was merely an abused teenage girl, seeking a normal life until she caught the eye of Shane Callaghan, the son of the alpha of the BlackMane pack. Little did he know that finding her would raise buried secrets from the past that would lead him to seek redemption for his perishing pack. In the struggle for survival and atonement for past sins, their gradually growing love began to wax stronger but with the strong need for revenge on the BlackMane pack and with Aria being an heiress and a hybrid wolf from the enemy’s lineage, will their love still prevail?

Prolgue: His Dream
Two years ago
It was the early hours of the day Shane Callahan, the son of the Alpha of the BlackMane pack, turned eighteen. Shane looked forward to this day because his father had mentioned countless times that this would be the day he would officially become a man. The day he would seize to be seen as an ordinary boy but as the next alpha of the pack and it's also the day the moon goddess will reveal his mate. He had lived through the past year speculating how wonderful and amazing this day would be, but little did he know that fate had a different story in store for him.
As dawn approached, Shane, still sleeping peacefully, fell into a dream...
He found himself lost in the middle of the forest, surrounded by a thick canopy of trees and a dense bush. He looked around and tried to find a way out of the woods, but there was none. Coupled with that, it was eerily silent. Not even the chirping of birds could be heard. Suddenly he heard a soft whisper of his name in a barely audible voice from the opposite direction. At first, he was sure it was the wind and his ears playing tricks on him, but then the voice came again, a little louder and clearer this time.
"Shane, help! Please help me",
It was a soft female voice.
As soon as he heard the words, his heart skipped a beat, pounding hard against his chest and he let out a deep growl but the voice came again, this time with a loud scream of pain and agony. The sound tore through Shane's heart and brought his sleeping wolf to life as it let out a deafening howl, growling and snarling. His deep forest green eyes locked in the voice's direction and stared past the tall trees and thick bushes while trying to distinguish where and who the sound was coming from.
Shane moved closer to it and focused all his senses on the path of the sound but suddenly he sniffed and the pleasant scent of fresh jasmine wafted into his nostrils. The next thing Shane heard from his wolf, was the word:
Mate.
Before Shane could realize what was happening, he began running, transforming into his wolf form, and tearing through the bushes, trotting past the trees, following the scent of jasmine as it drove him deeper into the forest and closer to the wails of the person they've recognized as their mate.
The further he ran into the forest, the stronger the scent she released and he howled in response to her cries for help, announcing his presence and hoping she would hear him. A warm fuzzy feeling spread through him, his heart surging with deep affection as her wolf pulled him closer, but suddenly there was a loud bang in the distance, snapping Shane out of his dream as his eyes snapped open.
"Alpha Shane, you're needed in your father's chambers,” he heard the familiar male voice say with a tone of urgency.
Blinking away his sleepiness, he looked at the doorway to see one of the Sentinels guarding the packhouse standing by the door, an alarmed and fearful expression etched on his normally stoic face.
"Zack?" Shane asked, rising to a sitting position.
"It's I, Alpha Shane. Your father is in a terrible state as we speak",
Shane frowned, still lost in the memories of his gradually fading dream, while trying to comprehend the waves of fear emanating from the man.
"He collapsed at a meeting with some pack elders this morning and was taken to his quarters. The pack doctor was summoned, but the Alpha demands your..."
As if a switch had just been flipped in Shane's head, he suddenly stood up and ran to his father's room before Zack could complete his statement. Shane walked in and saw his father lying on his bed, his eyes closed and the sheets covering the rest of his body from the neck down. At first sight, his heart dropped and his eyes grew wide. He blinked back the fear that was gradually sipping into him and averted his gaze to meet the pack's doctor, Dr. Mark, who was bent over the Alpha, examining him. Shane took a few steps closer to the bed, with his heart hammering against his chest and the doctor chose that moment to straighten his stance as Shane stood next to him and the bed
"Doctor, what's wrong? Will he be fine? Shane asked with an undertone of panic and fear.
The Doctor looked at Shane, but his gaze returned to the Alpha and he sighed heavily.
"I can't tell until I run the necessary test, Alpha Shane but the way I see it, his condition is serious and it may take a while for him to recover. I don't want us to think negatively until the test results come in.”
Shane nodded absentmindedly, but he was already contemplating how difficult his life was about to become. His father falling ill on his eighteenth birthday hadn't been part of his plans. If the Alpha's condition worsens, he will be left to run the activities of the pack and will have to temporarily serve as the Alpha of the BlackMane pack until his father can take his place.
Shane was scared of this reality because he had no idea what to do. The more he stared at his father’s pale feeble body, the more his apprehension grew. His anxiety was beginning to gnaw at him as he began thinking of the best way to handle the affairs of the pack until his father would regain his health and consciousness but nothing came to mind. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that he wasn’t qualified and capable of shouldering the responsibilities that were about to be heaped on him.
How would he manage the affairs of the pack without his father's help and support? Without a Luna by his side, would people take him seriously? And to make matters worse, he was only eighteen and knew nothing of the pack’s businesses or even his family’s businesses. Everyone knew he was unqualified. Would they even trust him to hold the temporary position of their ruler?
All these questions ran through his mind as his fearful eyes stayed on his father, but suddenly he noticed his body moving under the covers. The doctor quickly removed them, but his face paled.
"I think his condition has become more serious than I expected. I see a stroke coming."
All of Shane's hopes and belief that his father would heal quickly died at the doctor's words and in place of his fears, the harsh reality of his situation began to glare at him.

The Alpha's Redemption Twenty-nine: Death Toll
Shane’s POV A wave of jealousy washed over me, crowding my sense of reasoning, with my palms tightly balled into fists as I watched Chase’s car roll out through the gates. There was a sour taste in my mouth, just from watching Aria interact so well and freely with him. Memories of all that happened the previous night flooded my thoughts, the moment I laid eyes on her. I could recall how soft her lips were when they had touched mine. How pliant her body was against mine and how soft she’d felt. How lovingly her touch had been and how her lovely scent had sated me. I’d found peace and all of my worries were forgotten in those few minutes she’d spent in my arms but it all came crashing down when she’d admitted she wasn’t good enough for me and had run out of my bedroom even before her words could make sense to me. Her words and her sudden change in character came as a shock to me, that I was lost on what to do. It seemed that shitty bastard had done more damage to her than I ever gave

Aria’s POV…there was a large crowd gathered, with murmurs flying around, but that wasn’t what drew my attention to their midsts. It was the soulful wails and cries of a woman I couldn’t see yet, and the screams of agony coming from a masculine voice.My heart slammed harder against my chest, my brows furrowing in confusion, as I made my way past the angry crowd, chanting what seemed like a war song, with a blazing fire crackling in their midst. A whiff of burning skin assailed my nostrils and I scrunched it up, as my heart raced faster, the closer I got to the scene, but when I finally found my way to the forefront, the scene before me had bile rising in my throat with my guts twisting as tears welled up in my eyes.Amid the burning fire was a man tied to a stake so he couldn't escape. I watched him helplessly struggling against the chains holding him to the stake as the blazing fire licked up his skin, causing screams of agony to tear out of his lips. But worse than this, was the pr

Aria’s POVOne minute I was looking into his intense forest-green orbs and the next I was sealing my lips to his for a kiss. The moment my lips touched his, I felt him tense and his hold on my hips tightened. For a minute, he remained still, not making any move to deepen the kiss. Disappointment and mortification crashed into me and I quickly pulled away, trying to put some distance between us but then he grabbed my hips tightly and pulled hard, jerking me forward until my chest was pressed tightly to his and a gasp of shock flew out of my lips. But before I could get a chance to gather my scattered thoughts, his lips were on mine, kissing me passionately and possessively as though he couldn’t get enough. One of his hands gripped my waist tightly while the other traveled up my back, to the nape of my neck to hold it in place as he continued kissing me, allowing his tongue to taste me and mate with mine. It was so heated that I couldn’t hold back the whimper that escaped my lips but he

Aria’s POVA loud gasp expelled from my lips, my eyes widening as my gaze trailed Shane’s naked body, still dripping with water. My heart thudded in my chest as my curious gaze traveled down his body, down to his groin and I felt my stomach tightening and curling with a strange sensation when my eyes landed on his hardening manhood.Another gasp flew out of my lips as my eyes widened even more. It was my first time seeing a dick and as shocked as I was, I couldn’t stop nor explain the thrill that ran through me as I kept staring at it. Gradually, I noticed it began to grow hard. I was so lost in the sight before me that I’d forgotten it was Shane that I was shamelessly ogling until the sound of his voice pulled me out of my trance.“Aria…” he groaned in a deep guttural voice that quickly snapped me out of my reverie and as soon as my eyes landed on his, I did the first thing that registered in my head_to run away.One minute I was staring into his darkening forest green orbs and the n

Aria’s POV“You can’t keep running away,” Hailey voiced out but I ignored her.Yes, I’d found an excuse to quickly escape from Shane’s presence when things started getting intense. I hated that I was always flighty around him, but I couldn’t help it. I could feel my body slowly giving in to the deep feelings that arose within me. Whenever I set eyes on him, my heart leaped and when he smiled at me, I could feel butterflies setting off in my stomach and I couldn’t even explain the warmth that always spread through me and the deep feelings of comfort that surrounded me whenever I was in his presence. But even at that, I was still struggling against all of these feelings.“Not every man is like George,” Hailey spoke again, and I released a deep sigh as my shoulders slumped in defeat. For the first time, I acknowledged her words but my fear of falling into the wrong hands and landing into the same situation I’d barely gotten out of was far too great to let me believe those words. Instead,

Shane’s POV“An eye for an eye,” the prisoner’s words rang in my head as I approached the pack house. After my session with the man, Chase had pushed me out of the dungeons, telling me he’d handle it and although I’d been reluctant to leave, I knew it was for the best. One more minute in the presence of the man and I’d be forced to snap his neck. But even that wouldn’t grant the satisfaction and solution I was after. He’s shown that he wasn’t afraid of death and was ready to lay his life down to see the end of the BlackMane pack.“Oh, trust me, I’d be glad to set my life on the line to avenge my ancestors,” These words plowed my thoughts as I struggled to make sense of them. My thoughts traveled way back to the history of the BlackMane pack but even as far as I could remember the pack was always known for its peaceful coexistence with other packs. There hasn’t been any war in ages, except for the war between the witches and the werewolves that took place almost two decades ago, and f

Shane’s POV“That’s it,” Chase pointed at the dilapidated building opposite the street as we parked at the curb. The house was in the quiet residential part of town. I could understand why the family could have gone missing for an entire week without the neighbors finding out. The neighborhood was more like an estate where everyone minded their business.Together, with the sentinels that had followed us, we alighted the cars and approached the building with visible soot stains and with half of the roof gone from when it had been burning. The front door was blown open and even the glasses on the windows were gone, with the shards scattered about. It seemed more like an explosion, rather than just a natural fire disaster.“You think this was set up?” I asked Chase, just to confirm my thoughts. He glanced at me and his eyes returned to the building again, just as the Sentinels approached the open entrance. I raised a hand for them to stop and they did.I didn’t want to risk any of my men

Aria’s POV“Come on, angel, take a seat,” Shane nodded at the chair he’d pulled out for me as he placed a plate of food on the table.With a smile spread across my lips, I sat down and he leaned down to kiss my temple before taking the seat across from me. We were in the kitchen, seated at the breakfast bar.As soon as he realized I was hungry and had skipped lunch, he quickly ordered one of the maids to fix me a quick lunch. Thereafter he sent them out of the kitchen so we could have our private moment.“How about you, where’s your food?” I inquired, with a mouthful of food but he shook his head, chuckling at me from how I sounded. I cocked a brow in question and he simply shrugged.“I’m not hungry, love,”I frowned.“Are you sure?”“I’m not hungry, princess. Quit worrying about me,”His nickname made my cheeks heat up as I looked down and continued with my meal.“So tell me about your day,”Suddenly, my eyes lit up, a bright smile stretching my lips as I remembered my encounter with

Aria’s POVI absentmindedly tapped my fingers on my desk, with my eyes riveted on the fancy wall clock hanging on the wall, at the front of the class, way above the teacher’s head. It was almost five minutes until the close of school for the day and I could barely wait to get out of the class. I’d had a very eventful day, from having to open up about my real identity to the shocked principal, to becoming the discussion amongst every group of students, all thanks to Shane.At first, I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me when I kept meeting with their stares. While some screamed of curiosity, especially from the male students, the females looked like they wanted to shoot lasers at me. It was no secret that they all had their eyes on the alpha but now that he was close to me, they were beginning to see me as a competition.It still felt strange to be pulled from the shadows I’d always hidden in and to become the center of attention but I didn’t care as long as they weren’t going
