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

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 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

Draven asked, his deep, commanding voice cutting through the air like a blade. Aurora slowly turned to face him, a wicked smile hidden beneath the mask that concealed her features."Oh," she began, her voice dripping with false sweetness, "some of our men who tried stopping her from escaping the pack said they saw her flee toward the direction of the vampire’s land. Perhaps you must have killed her yourself, which, in a way, we’re kind of grateful f—""Do not mind the Luna," Kael interrupted, his voice laced with a nervous chuckle. "Sometimes, her pregnancy causes her to spill a lot. But perhaps, did you find a werewolf in your pack?"Kael was desperate to know if his previous mate had truly perished. Yet, there was another problem gnawing at him—he could not keep his eyes off the vampire king’s woman. There was something about her, something eerily familiar. Quickly, he shook off the thought.Draven narrowed his crimson eyes. "No, I did not kill a werewolf. Any werewolf that wandered

Aurora froze when she heard those words from the disgusting lips of her sister, Elizabeth. She knew the game Elizabeth was trying to play—seeking attention, stirring the crowd. Her big, swollen stomach must have fueled her spite."Please do not say this," Kael whispered into Elizabeth’s ear, but she had already made up her mind."Everyone knows what an omega is—the least valuable werewolf in the pack." Elizabeth turned to stare at the masked woman. Aurora felt her knuckles tighten until they turned white. The woman described her as less valuable. How dare she? "Yes, she was the least valuable member of the pack. And when she grew up, everyone considered her to be wolfless because she was wolfless. Isn't that a pity?"Elizabeth smiled, her teeth on full display as if she were advertising for a toothpaste company.Draven folded his arms, resisting the urge to punch that woman and silence her. But it was too late. The next words she spoke made his muscles tense like stone."Well, what ha

Quickly, Aurora opened the door. As expected, Elizabeth was standing in the doorway."Oh, I’m so sorry for interrupting you. I was just passing by and got worried since you've been in here for quite a while," Elizabeth said, trying to peer through the mask Aurora wore.Aurora stared at her sister. She had not realized who she was.Aurora looked at her, then at the door. Quickly, as if understanding the silent message, Elizabeth stepped aside, allowing Aurora to pass."You haven’t spoken at all. You know, since the vampires and werewolves are forming a good alliance, perhaps it would be nice if I knew your name," Elizabeth said. The vampiress standing three feet away from her wasn't just beautiful; she was rude. Who the hell did she think she was? The last Elizabeth had heard, the Vampire King never had a mate, nor had he taken a Luna. So why was this masked woman acting so grumpy?"Perhaps a handshake will be good for both of us. We aren’t enemies, are we?" Elizabeth added, stretching

The ride back to the palace seemed like the longest Aurora had ever experienced. The silence between her and Draven was oppressive, leaving her with nothing but the echoes of her own thoughts. Draven had decided to remain quiet throughout the entire journey, making things all the more difficult for her.She glanced over at him, trying to read his expression, but his face was unreadable, his gaze focused ahead, staring out the carriage window. Aurora bit her lip, struggling to find the right words to break the tension."You’re going to be mad at me the entire ride home, aren’t you?" Aurora finally asked, her voice tentative, hoping that the question might crack through the wall that had formed between them. She watched as Draven’s lips pressed together, his jaw tightening.He was lost in his thoughts, thinking about the dangerous task that lay ahead—the end of Kael and his men. He couldn’t allow them to continue disrupting the peace of their kingdom, no matter the cost. His mind also w

The Dark Lord's Mate. The Serpent's Ring
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
The Dark Lord's Mate. A Catapulted Return
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.“
The Dark Lord's Mate. The unmasking.
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. How had she un
