ADRIAN

Terrified was an understatement… I couldn’t explain the raging feelings blasting inside of me but I knew that something had definitely shifted in my body, and I was feeling a wave of emotions I hadn’t experienced in a long time.

It was taking me longer than a normal person to adapt to them.

In my twenty-four years as the Alpha of Silverclaw, I’ve never feared anything. Nothing. And that’s not my fucking ego speaking, everyone knows the Alpha of Silverclaw fears nothing and if I did it all, it would be the safety of my pack. Not this little pup that made me feel like ripping out my hair every time.

The fear messed with my entire format and I had equally never been so confused. Her parents might’ve already explained what to do, and how to do it, but it only made me nervous because in real sense, their instructions were to do nothing and listen. Do nothing!

How the fuck could I just sit down and watch her like this? It drove me insan

  • The Dark Alpha's Unwanted Luna   TRICKY BETS

    AURORAUnnoticed by everyone else, I was at the entrance of the packhouse, surveying the grounds from above the stairs but the Alpha has never been like ‘everyone else’ so it was no surprise when I discovered that his eyes were already on me—like he’d been waiting for me to walk out the door all this time. Smirking, his eyes unconsciously trailed my body, studying me as though it was the first time he was seeing me in Claw Leather. But when I think about it, he always looks at me like it’s his first time.Just to further delay my arrival here, I let the maids work their ‘delightful’ magic on my hair and despite it being nothing like what I had described—I asked for something to match my uniform—I couldn’t say it wasn’t beautiful.They made me look princess-y with a royal pin-up, my curls dangling from an exotic knot on my head like trinkets of a crown, and eye-matching gleaming sapphires which gave light to the darkness.I still looked b

  • The Dark Alpha's Unwanted Luna   LYRICS OF HATE

    HILDAI appreciate my parents for everything and I know everyone is doing all they can to find Dash but I can’t help feeling like they’re not trying hard enough. Sadly, I tend to think that way a lot lately.I couldn’t focus throughout class today and I’m not someone to usually mind-wander at lessons but when your dearest brother gets kidnapped by a demon who has a grudge against your family and your sister is in the hands of the most feared Alpha in the territories, anything’s possible. Oh, and I’m the next target so don’t expect me to be fine even when I look sane.The only thing good about the private lessons was the temporary freedom I had from that school and all the pain that came with it. I bit the thought off my mind and tapped into more important things like… opening the doors of the library.Anytime I visited here, I’d always find Charles in so it was a surprise when I walked in today and found it eerily… empty. Shrugging, I sl

  • The Dark Alpha's Unwanted Luna   STASH AND DASH

    AURORAIt’s been a few days since the training lessons and it amazed me how all the hours just passed by in a blur… I can’t account for how exactly I spent my days. It feels that way when Adrian and I haven’t talked in a while. Or seen each other for that matter.The coward’s been hiding ever since we sealed the deal to take me to the pack. I couldn’t let him change his mind after me, Lizra and his aides had celebrated it with another evening talk outside—including some good sketching, stories, and drinking.And also me secretly fantasizing about how Silverclaw must be at night. I’ve heard good things about it. Today was Saturday and the only thing that’s more fun than a Saturday night in a club is a Friday night.‘Do you think Adrian would ever let you in a club?’I rolled my eyes at Evolet’s pessimism again. ‘Dylan said…’‘What Dylan said doesn’t matter? Adrian’s the Alpha and your mate, he technically rules the pack.’

  • The Dark Alpha's Unwanted Luna   SINFUL CRUSADE

    AURORAOne second I was in his arms, watching him rub my fluid all over his dick—that turned me on in unimaginable ways—and in another second I was tossed on one of the revolving leather chairs, the force making it spin gently, only giving me seconds to piece my senses together before Adrian stopped the spinning chair and turned me to him, never failing to make heat rise as his eyes suspended over my body.“Undress.”I sat up, my thighs intuitively clenching to each other, as I gazed at him thoughtfully. “What?”Purple leaked to my cheeks at the thought alone.The bar room of brown and purple had turned into a blur of colors because all my eyes could take shape of was Adrian, and that humongous thing in his hand. I can’t believe I’ve survived having that thing in me more than once, his reverse albert piercing glinting in the dim lighting.His cinnamon-ginger scent had stolen the show but with detectable traces of smoke, leather,

    ADRIAN“Are you sure about this, Alpha?” Him and his fucking ‘sure’ questions.Roger might have convinced me not to wear claw leather to this doomed outing tonight—as a warning to everyone out there to stay the fuck back—but I wished he could convince Aurora to cease it from happening. She had willed me into saying yes and I fucking hated her for making me fall into her demands.And since Aurora’s mind was made up, mine was as well.“Do I look sure?” I growled at him since the answer was already clear, buttoning up what would’ve been the violet turndown shirt of a tuxedo—no fucking jacket needed. The shirt was simple enough to pass on for anything normal.My favorite belt strapped my black pants to my waist, an intentional move if I remembered it when I was out whooping some ass.Self-control has never been in my dictionary and it would take every fucking ounce of me to keep myself at bay if a fucking asshole even lingered his eyes on my nightmare for a second too long.

  • The Dark Alpha's Unwanted Luna   THE LUNA'S INITIATION

    AURORAWe had argued with Adrian to walk the distance to the one place we had agreed to visit, to make the outing just more than a tour, but that was one thing we couldn’t convince him to do. I couldn’t convince him to do.To my surprise, he had many cars in the packhouse of his. So many latest models in black and grey. Selling one could change a poor man’s destiny. There was one in particular that was tiger-orange, just like his eyes, but he said he had never ridden it. He just wanted it to keep being pretty.‘Unfortunately, we can’t say the same about you.’I was astonished that those dirty words came out of her mouth. ‘That’s so inappropriate!’‘Tell me, Arie, is anything you’ve ever done appropriate?!’I sighed, slowing my breathing down so my chest would stop pumping like an inflating and deflating balloon. ‘You can’t spoil tonight for me, Ev, so shut up.’His ‘pretty’ orange vehicle was a racecar with tiger stripes

    AURORA“You almost broke the damn vase, Dylan!” Roger spat out at him but Dylan booed from his seat.Roger was right, Silverclaw had a lot of history, even though it was an unknown pack less than two decades ago. I had a lot of inspiration for sketches and would spend the rest of tonight drawing because I’m so high on the fine art energy.‘Only if your Alpha doesn’t visit.’Evolet had been a good girl tonight so I can say that everything went great but now we have to survive the ride back home to happily say that Adrian didn’t chop some dicks off.“What if it wanted to be broken? I would if I had been sitting idly in a glass case for four decades and getting looked at every single hour?”“Who thought it was a good idea to put Dylan in the passenger seat while Roger’s fucking driving?!” I asked loudly enough, turning to the man who had taken Lizra’s seat and forced her to the back because she didn’t want to stay in the passenger s

One more fucking time and I swear to the goddess, it will be your last!” Anger was rising from the deepest, darkest, pits of my chest and I was so lost in it that I couldn’t get my organs to function.I thought the triple connection crisis was bad but this was downright horrible. My mind was so disoriented… I-I couldn’t think straight. Everything around me seemed so unimportant and useless when creeps had their filthy hands on my…Someone’s going to fucking die tonight. ‘She could’ve died in that car explosion and now she’s in the hands of unpredictable creeps that can do anything to her!

  • The Dark Alpha's Unwanted Luna   AN EAVESDROPPING LUNA

    KATRINAI leaned on the door, checking my surroundings for anyone around because a Luna eavesdropping on her own Alpha was not the kind of news I wanted to be spreading in the packhouse for the jobless busybodies to be gossiping about.Checking to see if his door was unlocked, I opened it by a soundless crack and set my eyes on him, the most handsome man I’ve ever met, sitting with his back faced to me on a chair similar to one from his office, and a table laid in front of him like a gift from the gods. The reading room was not very different from his office, he didn’t have a lot of style—I could confirm that—but there were custom-made shelves of books stacked over each other in this god of a room. The Alpha uses every free time he gets to read, and the only thing that’s hotter than watching Kane reading was staring at him lovingly, when he was over me, with that dark, insane, animalistic look in his eyes as he was about to… When was the last time we even made love? The heartache of

  • The Dark Alpha's Unwanted Luna   A NIGHTMARE ON A STORM

    AURORA“Mom went too hard on the code. She was meant to make it impossible for everyone but me! Dang it!”I admired the space we all dropped in when we first came down and thought it had to be the best part of the mansion because it looked like somewhere you would travel to in a good dream. It was a large roomy area that looked like an apartment, the lights were so bright that you would’ve had a problem differentiating day from night, and in this case, it was already pitch dark outside. The cream-tiled floor caught my eye first with interesting and innovative designs that made me think of walking on the ground and the large equally tiled walls of matching grace drive you to reminisce of the sun. If it was a bit cooler in here, I would rethink returning to the surface—it’s not like anything better is happening up there—but I still didn’t understand how this was a mansion. It’s just a… looks like I was wrong because the best and better parts were yet to come.There were MORE floors and

    AURORAAdrian wouldn’t stop reading the letter. He’s been devouring it. I needed to know what was in it. I had to because, without me, we may have never even found the golden statue. We didn’t know where we would end up so letters were secured in the mouths of all the Silverclaw emergency mailboxes. They have that on every mountain both in and out of their territory, they are protected under The Dark Alpha's law. I thought it was a smart move, for unfortunate emergencies like this. I wished we were able to leave messages for them too, tell them we were safe but I think the empty mail post is enough proof of that. But making the eagle statues gold wasn't the smartest choice since it attracted the kind of people that they didn't want near it. Is he trying to show off?Adrian loses points for that. If it wasn't him who designed it then, I was sure it would be Dylan. That crook. Gosh, I can't believe I miss him. I missed all of them. I missed the packhouse too and I missed my motherly

She backed away from me as soon as I let her go, glaring like she’d kill me, before walking out of my sight and heading to whatever thing she’d seen that made her declare we weren’t alone.Those were dangerous words to say on this mountain and whatever she’d seen could not be good.‘She’s going too far away, boss.’Fucking Fox, at least he was saying something meaningful for once. “Aurora,” I warned, turning around to grab her by hand, glad that she had not gone too far away because I wanted her glued to me every second of the day, and held her still…. I couldn’t lose her again. I’ve already taken too many chances.“Let me go, Adrian.”This beautiful, sexy nightmare would be the end of me. “Don’t expect to sur

    AURORASnow, snow, snow… in every freaking place. I was sick of it. Why couldn’t we have landed on the better side of the mountain? ‘And what makes you think this isn’t the better mountain?’ Goddess, not Evolet drilling me with questions now.‘Have you seen our luck, Ev? Have you seen how bad things are? I’m a hundred percent sure we’re in the worst place possible on this unbearable hump of snow.’We packed the tent as soon as the night died out and set off for the letter we were meant to find. I had wanted us to go as soon as he brought it up but he said I was tired and needed rest. Like he knew what I wanted! How many times do I have to remind him that he doesn’t own my body and can’t tell me what to do?‘Forever, because it doesn’t look like he’ll ever listen.’I hissed, clutching my frozen fingers. ‘Not another word from you, Ev.’ I couldn’t sound any angrier than that.He made sure I ate but didn’t bother eating himself—what a hypocrite—and when I told him to at least grab one o

The first time I was in one, we almost exploded along with it—you know how the story goes after—and the second time, well… we’re about to fucking crash!I covered my head with my arms and awaited the impact, a scream ready to be torn out of my throat, bones prepared to break, heads set to crack, metal waiting to dismantle, fire about to lit up…Just waiting for all that havoc to wreak on us but… the collision never came. My body jerked out of my nightmare as my eyes popped open, and my breathing escalated when I tried to look around me. There wasn’t much I could see except for the blinding blue sky so I tried to turn my neck but the pain made me feel like the nightmare wasn’t so bad after all.With difficulty, I pulled my heavy right hand up and trie

    AURORAAdrian didn’t give two shits about the creature in front of us that was emitting nightmarish screeches because he only made the car move faster and drove us right into it. I screamed when it sent the thing over the car, its screech still scarily audible even with how swiftly we were moving.My body jerked back when Adrian pressed down the accelerator like our lives depended on it—our lives actually depend on it—sending us faster than we were anything should ever be able to move. It felt like my face was going to peel off and I was going to fly out but the seatbelt kept me in check, and Adrian continued rushing us down the dirt path with those... things... behind us.'Since there is a lot of fucking things I don't know, can you please start with...
