“A vampire-werewolf hybrid?” Logan grimaced. “Oh for fucks sake…”
“But how can that be?” Noah frowned. “To be a hybrid, one parent needs to be from another species and Roman was definitely an alpha wolf. And if I am not wrong, his mate, Charlotte, was the daughter of Alpha Louise of the Red Mountain pack. They both were werewolves then how can Killian be a vampire-werewolf hybrid?”
“I agree with him,” Logan nodded. “Noah took his history lessons very seriously.”
“We don't know what happened in the last thirty-four years though,” Asher said. “Mating of two different entities is just one way of becoming a hybrid. There could be other ways as well,”
“I guess that’s what we need to do first,” Rose muttered. “Fill in the blank spaces because right now we have simply no clue exactly what Killian is up to, or how big is his pack. How big and powerful is his army?And for goddess sake if he is a hybrid.” Logan swore under his breath and at this point, I could actu
Asher“What the fuck happened?” I demanded, storming into the meeting room. Reed was there along with two of our messengers, Hunter and Kyle. These two were specifically trained to be spies for GrayCrest and were experts at extracting information.“There have been two more vampire attacks,” Kyle said. “At BlueHounds and at WillowCreek, both within the last two days.”“Wait, but they are both GrayCrest’s subsidiary packs,” Logan hissed. “How come Jordan didn’t tell us?”“Jordan was at the wedding,” Noah remarked. “He seemed fine.” Alpha Jordan was the Alpha of Bl
AsherThe tattoo parlor was as usual humming with customers and regular whirring of machines with some old ass rock songs playing in the background. Ruby stood by the corner, grimacing at a female customer making a fuss.“Ruby!” I called. She turned around and rolled her eyes at me.“Bloody sissies. If you can’t handle pain, why get a tattoo?” she grumbled, stalking to her office. I followed after her, shutting the door behind me. She lit a cigarette and then flopped down on her desk.“Yes, it’s nice to see you too,” I said, taking a seat.“Oh cut the crap, we are both beyond these formalities boy,” she
Asher Her scent was like a mix of a lot of flowers, like spring. And like any other female scent, it didn’t appeal to me anymore. Now the only scent that appealed to me belonged to my mate. She thankfully released me and stunning hazel eyes twinkled back at me.“You haven’t changed much,” Catalina exclaimed. Her English was laced with Spanish, but it kinda sounded sexy.“Catalina,” I managed a smile. “I…what a surprise.”“Shouldn’t I be the one saying it, Alpha?” She gave me a look.Catalina was Alpha Juan’s daughter, the man whose pack I went to train in Spain. The moment I saw her, she had my attention because, of course, she was mesmerizing. Glowing dusky skin, beautiful eyes, perfect full lips and the face of a goddess. How could you not be attracted to someone like her? Throughout my eight months of stay there, we had gotten pretty close. She was not just beautiful, she was funny and very talented.But that was not the only thing. We fucked. A lot. And it was so freaking damn goo
IvyThe weather was cold and dreary as fog settled on the window, blurring the view as Asher drove us to the BlueHounds pack. This was the first stop on our week-long journey to visit the packs subsidiary to GrayCrest as the newly wedded Alpha and Luna. Cora had described it as a simple meet and greet, a chance to distribute gifts, discuss business, and head back.Three hours into the drive, silence hung heavily between us. Asher’s face was a blank mask, and he hardly felt like the man who went down on his knees that night. But since I saw the guilt in his eyes last night when I caught him with Catalina and his very poor attempt at explanation, I knew somewhere inside he still loved and cared for me. This silence was his way of punishing me.As for me, for the first time in all these months, I was dying to hear from Killian. He hasn’t called since the wedding. Even though I trusted Sabrina, what if her magi
Asher“I am glad you guys decided to visit at this time,” Jordan said as we headed to the infirmary once all the celebrations were done and things quieted down. Throughout the day we avoided talking about the vampire attacks even though, in all honesty, I wanted to dive right back into business.But it was Lia who made it firmly clear that the pack had been through enough shock in the past two days. She wanted them to have a reason to rejoice once again, regardless of what happened along with the shitty winter on the horizon. And what better than celebrating the newly crowned Alpha and Luna? But now that it was all done and both women had gone to bed, it was back down to business for the men.“It has been a long time and there are certain things that need to be discussed urgently,” I said.“Why don’t I like the sound of that?” Jordan grimaced.“Because you aren’t supposed to,” I muttered. We reached the infirmary, fog making it very hard to see anything and was greeted by two pack doct
With a heavy heart, I also headed back to my room, dearly hoping that Ivy would be fast asleep by now. I felt exhausted mentally and really didn’t want to deal with the uncomfortable silences and the pain we both were carrying at the moment.Halfway through the stairs that led to the second floor which was allocated entirely to us, a piercing scream halted me in my steps. The voice was so familiar that before I knew it, I was dashing up the stairs at top speed. Anxiety rushing through my veins, I slammed upon the door and before I could spot Ivy, another scream from her filled the silence in the room.“Ivy!” I cried out, rushing towards her.She was lying on the bed but it seemed like she was experiencing some kind of sleep paralysis. Tears pooled down her eyes and she screamed again, the sound filled with fear and pain.“Ivy,” I slapped her cheeks, trying to shake her awake. Her body was hard and cold as ice and she was struggling to breath, almost like someone maybe strangling her.
Asher“So who do I include in this meeting?” Jordan asked, crossing his arms across his broad chest. It didn’t seem like he got a lot of sleep last night.“Do you trust your Beta and Delta?” I demanded. “Like really trust.”“Of course. Cooper and Waylon are like brothers to me. You need not worry about them. I can assure you about that,”“Well, then, them and Lia, if you like. She is your Luna after all,” Jordan nodded and for a moment his face went rigid with concentration. I knew he was calling his Beta, Delta and mate through the mindlink. And I was right as a few moments later Cooper and Waylon arrived, followed by Lia. Her pretty face was etche
AsherApparently, the situation was much worse in WillowCreek. The damage done there was brutal, with the loss of a little boy barely older than eight. The motherfuckers had also done quite a bit of damage to the Willow Creek property, but thankfully they had been stopped, or they just left before they could enter the primary perimeter of the pack. Unlike Jordan, Alpha Archer wasn’t really in the welcoming mood.“My people are scared, Alpha,” Archer growled as we visited the families of the dead ones. “There is nothing I can do but watch them suffer miserably. Tell me, what should I say to that young mother who lost her son? Or any of the mothers and mates, for that matter.”He was angry. Not at m
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
