“Fionn’s coven had drawn up a strict treaty with all the werewolf packs that forbade them from entering his territory without prior permission. After years of dispute and violence, we had agreed to it. The treaty was so binding that our hunters didn’t set foot there even if it meant letting the last remnant of the RiverPride pack go. We were certain that Fionn would kill them anyway. ”“But that clearly didn’t happen because Killian is alive with an army of vampires to back him who have already started creating a rampage,” Asher hissed. “I won’t be surprised if it’s Fionn’s army. And Killian he is…we are assuming he is a hybrid. Half werewolf and half vampire…” This time Carter turned to us, his eyes wide.“Hybrid?” he whispered.“We are assuming. And it makes sense with the vampire army he has gathered…” Asher said. “How could he have been turned into a hybrid? Could Fionn have killed him and then he died and…” He trailed off because he clearly wasn’t making any sense.“I have no ide
Asher“I’m going to show you tonight,” Ivy murmured, her voice sultry and full of promise. She took my hand and led me to the bed, her eyes dark with intent. “How much I love you.”My breath hitched at the sound of her words, and my pulse pounded in my ears. The way she looked at me sent a surge of need through my body. Ivy had this way of stripping away every wall I put up, leaving me vulnerable and raw. I wanted to speak, to protest, but when she gently pushed me onto the bed, her hands parting my legs, all I could do was let her take control.“Ivy, you don’t have to… Let me—” My words faltered as her finger pressed against my lips, s
IvyHe was going to soul mark me.I remember vaguely sometime ago what a soul mark was. It was the deepest commitment two mates can have. It’s not just marking your mate’s body but rather marking her soul in a way that binds both the mates’s souls together for an eternity. As such, when one mate dies, the other mate is bound to die too because the pain tatters the soul in a way that couldn’t be survived.A soul mark also intensifies the matebond times hundred hence why only Alpha males can do it and even only when the intention comes from the deepest part of his soul and not some whim of the moment decision. I gazed up into the amber eyes of Asher&rsqu
“So there is a possibility that Killian is backed by an army of vampires and supported by a vampire king who somehow felt like taking mercy on him?” I grimaced.“Yeah, that sounds about right,” Asher scowled as we headed back.“And he probably be backed by whatever pack he is using as his headquarters for a lack of better term,”“If someone is allowing him to take shelter in their pack then yes, I believe you are right.”“And then probably he has his own army, rogues or whatever…” Asher’s jaw clenched tighter, his knuckles turning white as he held onto the steering wheel.“We still have our allies,” I added carefully. “And then Sabrina is working on the antidote…”“It won’t be enough,” Asher said. “Killian has spent years on this. And he is a hybrid…”“We need someone exceptionally powerful on our side,” I sighed. “Do you think that lycan king would have agreed…Rafael, is it?”“Wouldn’t know until we get back. I believe Logan a
AsherWell this was news. The mystery of Natalie’s disappearance will finally be solved. And maybe now we can have the Crescent Moon in our list of allies too. Natalie was an Alpha and a prolific fighter. And I knew she would definitely join us.“Did she come back with a mate?” Cora asked, peering over Logan’s shoulders.“I don’t know. This is just an invitation,” he answered. “Crescent Moon holds this ball every year. It’s a part of their tradition.”“A ball is the last thing I am interested in at the moment,” Noah made a face. “I am not going”“It’s customary for the Alphas and Lunas to attend. We have this debate every year, Noah,” Logan rolled his eyes. “And we can use this opportunity to discuss whether she will be joining us for the war, not that I think she won’t.”“If she has a mate, I don’t think it would be her call anymore,” Cora muttered.“That’s ridiculous,” Ivy grimaced. “It’s still her pack…”
AsherI was getting a queasy feeling as we headed to the Crescent Moon pack for the annual masquerade ball. Ivy wore a stunning halter neck gown with black bodice and white flowy skirt decorated with stunning embellished red roses all over completed with a fur throw since it was very cold outside. In fact I could feel the snow coming tonight. Her hair was tied in a knot at the nape of her neck and she paired it all with dark eyes and sexy red lips. Ever since I marked her and she became pregnant, her scent has become so magnetic to me. The damn ball could go to hell because all I wanted at this point was to get that dress off her and fuck her while she wore that stunning mask she got with the dress.“All in good time…” Mac whistled.“Is everything alright?” I asked, turning to Ivy as she stared out of the window, absolutely silent. She hasn’t spoken in a long time. Ivy turned to me and frowned.“This rout
AsherI froze and so did others. My heartbeat was frantic, rage creeping up my veins as the man approached us. This…this was the guy who almost killed my mate. And I noticed how his eyes flitted to Ivy, surprise brimming in there for a split second before he covered it up with the calm, collected mask.From what I could see, this man appeared to be someone of Logan’s age, maybe even younger. But I knew he wasn’t and, in fact, he should be much older because Logan wasn’t even born at the time of the Cold War. It affirmed that he was a part vampire and may have stopped aging after a certain age. His scent was also different from normal werewolves.&ldq
IvyThere was no way I was going home without seeing dad. I knew Asher was going to throw a fucking war at the idea, but I needed to see my father. It’s been an eternity since I last saw him. I won’t let the motherfucker do this to me.“What did you say?” Asher demanded, his eyes wide.“I am going to see dad,” I repeated.“No,” Asher said instantly, his jaw tensing. “No fucking way…”“Ash is right, Ivy,” Logan added. “It’s an immense risk…”“I can’t hold back knowing he is right here, Logan…” I said, my voice breaking. “I haven’t seen him in weeks…I don’t know how he is, what he is doing…maybe…maybe it could be the last time I get to see him…” Logan opened his mouth to respond but then closed it again.“No,” Asher said again. “No chance. I understand where you are coming from, Ivy, but no…it’s too much of a risk, I can’t let you…”“I wasn’t asking,” I snapped.“Neither am I…its a command from your alpha…” he snapped back.“
Ivy's momThe sun was barely up, but the pack grounds were already alive with activity. Omegas hurried back and forth, setting up chairs, arranging flowers, and double-checking the decorations for Ivan’s ceremony. Today was the day my son, my firstborn, would be crowned Alpha, and I couldn’t stop myself from fussing over every last detail.“Make sure the garlands hang evenly,” I called to one of the omegas, pointing at a lopsided section. “And Kiera, wipe down the Alpha’s chair again, please. It has to be spotless.”“Yes, Luna,” they replied in unison, quickly moving to fix it.I sighed, smoothing the front of my dress as I watched them work. Everything looked beautiful, but it still didn’t feel ready. Today was too important to settle for anything less than perfect.Strong arms wrapped around my waist, startling me slightly as I was pulled into a familiar embrace. “You’re doing it again,” came a deep voice, warm and teasing.I smiled despite myself. “Doing what?”“Worrying over things
Hi lovelies! I hope you are doing well. The Alpha's Warrior have ended and I truly appreciate all your love and support. For those who have joined me in this journey first time, thank you so much. And if you enjoyed my work, I would like to keep you posted about my next work. Coming up next is a story that will take you from the world of Alpha's to that of dark, brooding, sexy Mafia's. Here's a peak:Blurb: The Mafia's Arranged Bride She was his light. He was her darkness. Gianna Ammassari, the adored sister of the strongest Sicilian mafia don, thought marrying Nico Baldocchi, the man she had secretly loved since childhood, was literally her dream come true. But that dream quickly turns into a nightmare when Nico reveals that his heart still belongs to another and there ever will be no place for her there. Bound by duty and driven by love, Gianna clings to the hope that maybe one day she can win Nico’s affection.But was her love powerful enough to break the walls Nico had built
By evening, the pack house was twinkling with lights like fairyland. The afternoon went by with the usual celebrations that we do with the pack members, giving gifts and sharing the feast with them. In the evening, it was time for our guests to arrive.“Merry Christmas!” Shae and Archer were the first ones to arrive, bringing in piles of gifts with them. Their son Reign was six years old now and good friends with Theo.Lia and Jordan followed next, along with their daughter Hyacinth, born six months after the war. Natalie unfortunately couldn’t make it because she was preoccupied, but Catalina did, accompanied by her mate, Alpha Cristian, a man she met at the annual mating ball. She was totally against the idea, but it was Asher who pushed her, asking her to at least give the idea of finding another mate a chance.Catalina reluctantly agreed and, as destiny would have it, she crashed into Cristian. It ruined her expensive evening gown because Cristian ended up spilling champagne on it
Ivy4 years laterThe day was chilly as hell even though, mercifully, the sun shone bright in the sky, the snowfall finally stopping but covering the entire packhouse in a white blanket. But again, what was Christmas without some snow?I inhaled the fresh, cold air and leaned down to place the bouquet of white lilies on the gravestone. I stared at the beautiful engraved writing and felt the familiar ache in my chest rising for a moment.Our Little Angel,Forever Loved, Never ForgottenIt’s been four years since we lost her, four years since the second Cold War ended, and yet not a day has passed by when I haven’t thought of her. Every year on special occasions, Asher and I bring flowers to decorate her gravestone. And Christmas was something that we never missed.And it wasn’t just her. Around me, rested every person I have once loved dearly and still did. Just beside my unborn daughter’s grave was that of a man who was my best friend and companion, a man who was an example of what lov
IvyThe ruins of MysticWarriors stretched out before me, a haunting blend of beauty and devastation. Where once vibrant life thrived, only remnants of a forgotten past remained. The grand white marble pack house that had stood as a symbol of strength and unity was now reduced to rubble, overgrown with vines and moss. The lush forest surrounding it seemed to mock the destruction.This was home—at least, it had been.I inhaled deeply, the cool mountain air filling my lungs, carrying with it the faint, earthy scent of rain. Somewhere in the distance, the roar of the waterfall could be heard, its sound as steady as the heartbeat of the land. This place held so much of my childhood: laughter shared with friends, the warmth of family, lessons learned under the sunlit canopy of trees. Now, it was little more than a shell of those memories.My father walked ahead, his shoulders slumped, his movements uncharacteri
Asher“Why is that?” Rose asked. “The mark probably has faded now that he is dead. And it wasn’t of any significance anyway, because he wasn’t your true mate, isn’t it?”“It’s not the mark,” Natalie said.“Then what is it, Nat?” Logan demanded, looking worried. “What is it?” Natalie gazed up at us, tears flooding her eyes.“I…I am carrying his child…” Everyone froze for a bit, processing the info until the silence was broken by a resounding bark from Logan.“What?” he roared, his eyes red with fury. “What did you say?”“Logan…calm down,” Cora muttered, grabbing his hand. “Let her speak…”“I…I just found out a few days ago,” she whispered. “Killian was the only man I had any sexual relationship with recently so it’s…it’s obvious that the child is his.”“Fuck,” I muttered under my breath. I don’t even want to imagine how Natalie must be feeling. Killian technically raped her and the child…it wasn’t a product of love between two people but…“I am so sorry, Natalie,” Rose said softly. “Hav
AsherI probably have never seen so much hustle and bustle in the pack ever before. People were rushing around, the infirmary crowded like hell as Avery and others who volunteered tended to the injured warriors and hunters, which was a staggering number. Shouts for medicine and bandages and what not echoed across the pack mixed with occasional screaming and shouting from the men. The priestesses and Sabrina were also helping, using their magic to mend those who were beyond mending.On the other hand, Shae, Lia, Rose and Catalina passed over steaming cups of coffee and food. Cora sat in the corner with Logan holding her close to him after they both had been treated by Avery. Sabrina’s potion has worked so the vampire venom didn’t affect Cora or anyone else in a life-threatening manner. But it certainly weakened them a lot. Logan glanced up at me and gave me a nod.I nodded back and then clenched my fingers tightl
AsherEveryone in the room froze, a collective breath held in shock. I blinked, staring at her as if I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.“I’ll do it,” Cora repeated, her words firm, unyielding. “If I can help in any way to bring that precious, innocent life back, then I will do it.”“Me too,” Rose chimed in, her voice steady but filled with a quiet determination. “It doesn’t matter the cost... we will do it.”I could hardly breathe as I looked at them, my throat tight with emotion. “Yeah, if it can help Ivy and the baby...” Logan’s voice followed, and then Noah’s, both of them agreeing without hesitation, without a second thought.Tears welled up in my eyes to see the unconditional love that my family had for me. It was a love I couldn’t fully comprehend, a selflessness that went beyond anything I could ever repay. I knew how much Noah wanted a bigger family. I knew Logan had always dreamed of a baby girl. And yet, not for a moment had they hesitated. Not for a second had they thoug
AsherMy stomach twisted, and my wolf stirred uneasily at Sabrina’s words. A sacrifice from Cora and Rose…what was that supposed to mean?“Cora and Rose?” I echoed, barely able to process what she’d said. “Why them, Sabrina? Why not me? I am her mate, after all.”“Because they are true Lunas of GrayCrest, Asher. Just as Ivy is,” Sabrina answered, her eyes darting behind me.I turned around to see the others returning—bruised and battered and barely breathing. Cora didn’t look good at all, hardly managing to stand without Logan’s support, who himself looked like he would collapse right now. Noah and Rose walked hand-in-hand, Rose’s beautiful face battered and scarred. Jordan, Archer, Shae, Catalina and the rest of them trailed behind, all of them halting in surprise as they spotted the altar and Ivy’s lifeless body lying there.“Sabrina…you can save her and the baby, right?” Cora croaked. “Please tell me
