King Draven looked around the council members. Their faces were unreadable, but the tension was thick. It felt like they were simply waiting for the right moment to strike — to eliminate their new rival swiftly and without mercy.

The large oak doors burst open, revealing Silo, panting heavily as if he had run for miles. His chest heaved with each breath.

"Why are you running like a pack of wild wolves is on your tail?" Draven’s voice was low and sharp, his gaze piercing.

Silo rolled his eyes, unfazed by the king's biting tone. He strode forward, leaning down to whisper into Draven’s ear. The words were quick and urgent. Draven’s eyes widened, the stoic mask he usually wore cracked with rare, visible shock. Without a word, he bolted from the room.

Carlos, his loyal Beta, didn’t hesitate. He followed Draven, his mind racing with questions. What could Silo have possibly said to make the king, who never showed fear, panic like that?

Meanwhile, Vuk stood by the bedside of Aurora — Draven’s

  • The Dark Lord's Mate.   A Reopened Wound.

    "You told me not to read any letters that concern you. Also, I haven't been in the office since you’ve been unconscious. There are stacks of letters waiting for me to handle," Draven said, staring at Aurora, wondering what was going on in her mind."When I got kidnapped, the kidnapper seemed to know a lot about me — things even you don’t know. The woman...""Woman?" Draven cut in sharply, his brows knitting together. What could a woman possibly have to do with his mate’s abduction?"Yes, a woman," Aurora nodded. "She locked me up in the observatory. Her voice was distorted, like it was altered somehow. I couldn’t recognize who she was."Draven’s eyes narrowed, his jaw tightening. A woman. He hadn’t expected that."The mysterious woman promised she'd tell you everything that happened to me in my previous pack. I’ve been terrified ever since. I didn’t want you to hear it from someone else — I’d sound like a joke to you," Aurora confessed, her voice trembling as she adjusted herself on t

  • The Dark Lord's Mate.   An Hybrid.

    The door to Draven's chamber creaked open, revealing Doctor Robert. His eyes widened in shock when he saw Aurora awake, sitting upright."Oh my goodness, finally she woke up," the doctor breathed, his voice filled with disbelief and relief. He hurried toward the bed, his medical bag swinging by his side.King Draven's gaze never left Aurora. His chest ached with a mixture of overwhelming joy and a deep longing to be alone with her. He waited impatiently, his hands curling into fists at his sides as the doctor began his examination.Robert checked her temperature, his brows furrowing as he noted her rapid and impressive recovery — something beyond normal, even for a werewolf.“Did she ask for blood? Like... crave it? As a vampire would?” Robert asked cautiously, his voice low but tinged with curiosity. His eyes flicked to Aurora, studying her closely.Aurora blinked, confused. Her head tilted slightly as she stared at the two vampires before her."What do you mean... blood? I'm a werew

  • The Dark Lord's Mate.   The Truth Beneath the Lies

    The doctor stared at the king, waiting for his approval to continue.“He’s telling the truth, my Star. You are the daughter of an alpha,” Draven said softly, his eyes never leaving Aurora’s. “When I first saw the results showing you were a hybrid, I realized how powerful your blood truly is. But I wasn’t completely sure. I studied old, forgotten books — ones that speak of hybrids like you. It’s rare, but it’s said that anyone who survives a vampire’s blood and becomes a hybrid is destined to either rule or belong to a ruler of a special kind.”Draven turned to face Aurora completely, his voice steady but filled with emotion.“You are an alpha she-wolf, and that truth was stolen from you without your knowledge,” he said gently.Aurora stared at him, her mind spinning. She wanted to believe him — she could feel the truth in his words — but it didn’t make sense.“Then why am I an omega in my pack? Why was I treated so harshly, like I was nothing?” she asked quietly, her voice laced with

    "Nope, it’s not gone. You will still crave blood when the desire comes — but only once in a while, not all the time like normal vampires. Your wolf has a high tendency of surfacing now that you know the truth about yourself. You’ll be stronger, faster, and hear things more acutely — like a vampire. You are one of a kind."Doctor Bella spoke gently, her voice filled with both admiration and concern as she administered the last injections into Aurora's arm."These are the final injections I’ll give you. Please eat something to regain your strength."She bowed respectfully to King Draven, turning to leave. Before she could take a step, Draven's voice stopped her cold."Excuse me, Doctor," Draven's voice was low and dangerous. "Under no circumstances are you to speak of what happened here today — or what you've learned about my mate. You know the consequences."Doctor Bella's eyes widened with fear. She wasn’t foolish enough to betray the vampire king or the Luna. "I would never, Your Maj

  • The Dark Lord's Mate.    A Shadow Among the Council

    The door creaked open, revealing Aurora. She wore a long, flowing gown that hugged her curves in all the right places, the dark fabric shimmering faintly under the council room’s torchlight. Her hair cascaded down her shoulders in soft waves, framing her face perfectly. Behind her, King Draven followed closely, his expression unreadable yet commanding. He moved with the grace of a predator — powerful, watchful, protective.The council had demanded to see the future Luna, and now here she stood — taller, healthier, and more radiant than any of them could have expected."You asked for the future Luna. You questioned whether she was alive and well," Draven’s voice rang through the hall, low and sharp like a blade. "Now I present her before you. Does anyone have anything to say?"The room fell into a heavy silence. The councilmen bowed their heads, none daring to speak. What was there to say? Aurora looked stronger than ever — a force to be reckoned with.Draven’s gaze landed on one parti

    Aurora turned to stare at Draven, who gave a slight nod. He had witnessed her speed, and even he had to admit it was impressive—shocking, even.“Are you comfortable letting him know about this?” Draven asked, his tone cautious. “I trust him... but only a little.”As he spoke, he shot a glare at his brother, VuK, who only grinned and gave him a playful wink.Aurora chuckled softly. These two brothers loved each other fiercely, but their constant bickering made it seem like they were always at odds.“Yes,” she replied, smiling at Draven, her gaze reassuring. “I trust him.”VuK smirked and threw her another wink. “I knew she trusted me completely.”Draven rolled his eyes. Aurora blinked in surprise. The King—rolling his eyes? Sarcasm was the last thing she expected from him. It reminded her of how little she actually knew about him, just like the forbidden hall he had yet to speak of.“She’s a hybrid,” Draven blurted out, breaking the momentary silence.VuK’s expression turned from amuse

  • The Dark Lord's Mate.   The Hidden Traitor

    Draven’s mind raced. There were two people who could possibly want Aurora dead—Bella and Asmada Ezra.But he doubted Bella would stoop so low to attempt such a reckless act. She had her own fears, and above all, she valued her own life too much to take such a risk. That left the second suspect—Asmada Ezra.She was the only woman who had ever dared to challenge him openly. The woman he had disgraced in front of the entire court. It made perfect sense. Asmada was a proud woman, and she had every reason to want revenge.But then, who wanted him dead?Was Asmada working with someone? Or were they operating separately, each with their own agenda?There was only one person he could think of who had enough hatred for him—someone whose arm he had cut off. But that man was a werewolf, and unless another enemy had surfaced, Draven wasn’t certain he was the real threat.And then, suddenly, it hit him.Aloric…Draven froze. His breathing slowed as he replayed their last encounter in his mind.Why

  • The Dark Lord's Mate.   Meeting at Red Moon Pack.

    The door to the Tesla opened as a guard quickly stepped forward to hold it wide. Elizabeth stood still, her posture elegant yet expectant, waiting to personally receive the vampire king into their pack. It was the day of the grand party, the night meant to strengthen their bond with the vampires and understand their ways.She had always heard that vampires were rich, but the tales often spoke of their deep-rooted traditions, their reluctance to embrace modern life. Yet, the scene before her shattered those assumptions. The car parked a few feet away from her was none other than the latest Tesla Model S, the newest of its kind. An electric masterpiece, one that even Lucas, the Alpha of their pack, could not afford. And this stunning vehicle was not alone. It was escorted by more than twenty other cars, a seemingly endless convoy of sheer opulence. SUVs, limousines, Mercedes-Benz models—each one more expensive than the last.Elizabeth felt a knot tighten in her stomach. Her breath caugh

    Carlos and Aurora emerged from the tunnel, the hidden panel sliding shut behind them. The passage had left streaks of ash and blood on their clothes, but there was no time to rest—not while the scent of betrayal still lingered in the air.“Where now?” Aurora asked, eyes scanning the dim corridor. Her body remained tense, alert, even as her breath slowed.Carlos narrowed his gaze, nostrils flaring. “Back to the dungeons,” he said. “If Kael and Elizabeth were released from there, someone had to break the lock—or use a key.”They moved swiftly through the lower levels of the castle, avoiding the main hallways where patrolling guards could be seen in the distance. Carlos kept to the shadows, Aurora moving beside him with the grace of a predator. The halls beneath the palace had always felt heavy with secrets, but tonight, the air seemed denser. Something foul lingered in every breath.As they neared the entrance to the dungeon wing, Carlos halted, raising a hand.“You smell that?” he aske

  • The Dark Lord's Mate.   Shadows in the Garden

    The castle loomed in uneasy silence as dawn's first light crept across the sky. The air inside the stone corridors was still, heavy with tension. Carlos, still wearing his bloodstained armor, paced the length of the war room. His mind reeled from the ambush, from Kael’s venomous words… and from the gnawing sense of danger he couldn’t shake.Aurora.Draven’s mate hadn’t been seen since the king left. And now, with the chaos outside and betrayal within, Carlos could no longer assume she was safe. He had sent messengers to every wing of the castle, ordered every guard to sweep the halls—but no sign of her.He returned to her chamber personally, pushing open the heavy door, calling her name. Silence greeted him.The bed was neatly made. Her crimson cloak was gone. But something caught his attention.A strange scent.Carlos's sharp vampire senses caught it immediately—something not quite vampire, not quite werewolf. He inhaled deeper. It was faint, but recent.His eyes scanned the room. Th

  • The Dark Lord's Mate.   Fangs of Betrayal.

    The war room buzzed with tension, lit by the dull glow of enchanted magical lanterns. Maps of the Eastern vampire territories were spread across the grand table, red ink marking the fallen clans. King Draven stood at the head, his arms crossed over his broad chest, crimson eyes burning with barely contained fury. Around him, his council whispered nervously, exchanging fearful glances."We must respond swiftly," said Carlos, Draven's loyal assistant. He pointed to the affected regions. "They've struck seven clans already. We can't risk losing the Eastern front."Elder Eric slammed his hand on the table, drawing all attention. "We should not involve the other vampire clans in this, Your Majesty. This is a werewolf conflict. Bringing in outsiders will only sow discord."Draven's jaw tightened. "Seven of our own have fallen, Elder. They were not outsiders. They were family.""And seeking help makes us look weak," Eric hissed. "We are Vampires. We do not beg."Draven’s gaze snapped to him

  • The Dark Lord's Mate.   A Brief Relief

    The dungeon was cold, echoing with the anguished cries of those who had defied King Draven. A torch flickered on the stone wall, casting sharp shadows over Delilah’s bruised face. She was shackled to a post, her knees scraped and bleeding. Aurora stood nearby, her hands trembling as she clung to Draven’s arm. Kael and Elizabeth were locked in the adjoining cells, silent for once, their eyes avoiding Aurora’s gaze.Draven stood tall, his piercing crimson eyes narrowed on Delilah. "Tell me why Aurora has no wolf," he demanded, his voice cold, commanding, and echoing with authority.Delilah winced, her lips dry and cracked. A beat of silence passed before she finally spoke. "It was an order from the late Alpha Rowan," she croaked, shame dripping from every word. "He... he wanted to dull her wolf, to sever her bond with the beast within. So... so she wouldn't fight back. So she wouldn't claim what was rightfully hers."Aurora flinched. Her heart twisted as the weight of betrayal pressed a

  • The Dark Lord's Mate.   The Truth Behind her heritage

    As the tension in the hall settled, the scent of Alpha Rowan's blood lingering in the air, King Draven stood tall amid the chaos. His crimson eyes swept over the crowd of shivering wolves and subdued vampires. With a single flick of his hand, his guards closed in on the three figures trying to escape into the shadows—Delilah, Elizabeth, and Kael."Seize them," Draven commanded, his voice calm yet thunderous, echoing with a power that could not be denied.The guards obeyed immediately, shackling the trio with enchanted chains that shimmered faintly under the moonlight. The crowd parted as they were dragged through the assembly, their heads lowered in shame. Aurora stood still, her fists clenched, the truth clawing at the edges of her mind. Something inside her told her she was on the brink of unraveling a past that had been stolen from her.Draven followed his prisoners into the dungeon below the castle, a place built to break the strongest of wills. The stone corridors were damp, lit

  • The Dark Lord's Mate.   Like Father Like Son.

    Draven’s voice echoed like thunder across the ballroom, silencing every murmur. “Bring him in,” he commanded, his tone sharp and absolute.All eyes turned toward the massive doors as they creaked open. Every person brought in through that entrance so far had unraveled secrets buried deep in blood and betrayal. This one was no different.Kael’s eyes widened the moment he saw who had been dragged into the hall. His shock quickly morphed into fury, his body vibrating with rage.“How dare you bring my father here!” Kael snarled. “You attacked Red Moon Pack? You invaded our home!”He took a step forward, but Draven’s guards moved swiftly, blocking his path with unflinching precision.Draven's expression remained cold. “Your father stole the Alpha title from my mate’s father,” he said, his voice low but heavy with truth. “He murdered him in cold blood and claimed the title that never belonged to him.”The crowd gasped, whispers rippling like wildfire. The shame of the Red Moon Pack was unra

    Elizabeth turned sharply, her eyes locking on the people clapping their hands, mocking the tension in the air."How dare you deceive us?!" she screamed, her voice rising above the murmurs of the crowd.The room fell into complete silence. Kael turned to look at Elizabeth, his eyes begging her to stop. He slowly shook his head, trying to urge her into silence. But Elizabeth was past reasoning. Rage, betrayal, and a seething jealousy frothed within her.She couldn't believe Aurora was not only alive but thriving—standing proud in the very place she had once been humiliated."You came to my pack to deceive me," Elizabeth spat. "And now you have the audacity to insult me? You slut!"Before the final word even landed, Draven had moved. In the blink of an eye, he had Elizabeth pinned to the wall, one hand wrapped around her throat, lifting her off the ground with terrifying strength."Don’t you ever call my mate a slut again," he snarled, his crimson eyes glowing with fury. "If you do, I wi

    As Draven was about to walk toward the werewolves, who were already laughing heartily and sipping one of the finest imported wines, a hand gently touched his shoulder.“Son.”Queen Lilith’s voice was soft, but it held a weight of emotions buried under centuries of silence. Slowly, King Draven turned to face his mother. He had only agreed to invite her to his mate celebration because Aurora had insisted. She missed the queen and wanted her there. Draven had relented, not because of sentiment, but to make Aurora happy.“I told you not to cross my path,” Draven said coldly, his gaze dropping to the elegant black and silver dress he had specifically chosen for her to wear.“You can’t hold this grudge forever, you know,” Lilith replied, her tone calm but weary. “I even wore this dress just to please you. You know I never wear what you pick for me.”She reached out to touch his shoulder again, a fragile attempt at reconciliation, but Draven shifted away before her fingers could graze him.“

    Warning, Matured context.“First thing first, the child does not belong to Kael,” Aurora said, picking up a pen and flipping through a book. She was deep in thought, formulating the perfect plan.“Which child?” Draven asked, now sitting up. His mate was like a machine—a calculating force with a clear mission, and he couldn’t help but feel drawn to her intensity.“The child that Elizabeth bore doesn’t belong to Kael,” Aurora replied, her voice steady and confident. “The child belongs to her true mate, who was previously her ex-boyfriend, Ronald. I know Ronald—I always caught them sneaking out of her room. Even in broad daylight, I would hear their moans and screams. But suddenly, Ronald disappeared from the pack. No one knew where he went. Soon enough, he was forgotten.” Aurora stated the hard facts as if they were nothing but simple truths.Draven stared at her in shock, trying to process her words. “How did you find out about this?” His voice was tinged with disbelief.
