The Dark Lord's Mate. Mystery of the Rogues.
The air in the grand chamber was thick with tension, the dim candlelight casting flickering shadows across the ornate walls. The Vampire King sat at his massive wooden desk, his fingers drumming impatiently against the polished surface."Any news yet about the rogues?" Draven's voice carried a sharp edge, his crimson eyes narrowing at his men.Carlos shifted uncomfortably under the weight of his king’s gaze. "I'm sorry, my king. We searched outside the borders, focusing on the barren lands, but it seems the rogues caught wind of our search and vanished before we could track them."Draven's hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white. The lack of information infuriated him. For weeks now, the rogues had been untraceable. Not a single attack, not a whisper of their whereabouts. It was as if they had simply disappeared."Hmm, I see," Draven muttered, his expression unreadable.He didn’t like this silence. Rogues weren’t known for their patience. They were aggressive, reckless,

Darkness engulfed everything around her. The only thing Aurora could hear was the sharp, deafening sound of bullets slicing through the air. Her heart pounded violently in her chest as she ran, dodging every shot aimed at her. Sweat dripped from her forehead, stinging her eyes, but she couldn’t stop. Her pack members were struggling to keep up, their footsteps heavy behind her.The scent of her enemies surrounded her, thick with bloodlust. For years, she had believed they had no reason to come after her, no personal vendetta against her. But now, as they pursued her with unwavering determination, she realized how wrong she had been. They wanted her dead.Aurora's legs ached with exhaustion. Every step felt heavier than the last, her limbs trembling from the relentless chase. She stumbled, barely catching herself, but she knew it was only a matter of time before they caught up.And then it happened.A force like a hammer slammed into her body, sending her flying into a nearby tree.

Aurora gasped in shock. Someone she hadn't seen in a long time—someone she had specifically asked to stay away—had accepted an invitation from her. And not just any invitation—one that involved his birthday."Now get your butt up. It's time for breakfast," Lilith said.Aurora quickly stood, shaking off her thoughts.Vuk watched her movements, his sharp eyes scrutinizing every detail. He couldn't understand why his brother was taking so long to claim her as his mate."Mother, don't you think it's time my brother claims his mate?" VuK asked, his tone neutral but edged with curiosity.Lilith and Aurora both turned their heads sharply toward him.Aurora didn't wait to hear their conversation. She didn't want to hear any talk about mates, especially when it concerned her. Without another word, she turned and left the room.Lilith's gaze lingered on the door, where Aurora had disappeared."I don't see why you're bringing this up. You know she's uncomfortable with the term 'mate,'" Lilith sai

"So, where were we, Kitty?" Draven said, standing up and striding toward his mate. She still wasn't used to his presence, but he no longer cared about her rules. All he had been thinking about all day was kissing her senseless, tasting her until she surrendered completely.Aurora smacked her hands against her forehead. She was rambling, explaining something as simple as birthdays to a grown man who should already know. "Can you please celebrate your birthday?" She asked him.Draven watched her, amused but also pleased. She was beginning to open up, speaking more than she ever had before."Don't you think there's a reason I don't celebrate my birthdays?" he asked.Aurora looked up at him, surprised. She hadn't expected an actual response from him. Maybe this conversation was finally leading somewhere."I'm sorry, but the only reason I can think of for not celebrating would be death. I don’t see why—""Why are you so eager for me to celebrate my birthday?" Draven interrupted, his gaze s

Aurora hesitated at the doorway, uncertain about what to wear. She had grown accustomed to the vampire king’s chambers, but stepping inside, she was caught off guard by the sight of Queen Lilith sitting gracefully on the bed. In front of her, a stunning red gown lay neatly arranged, its silky fabric catching the dim candlelight."My son asked me to find you something exquisite," Lilith said with a warm smile. "This red dress suits your personality—quiet, yet powerful, bold, and beautiful."Aurora stared at the gown, her fingers twitching slightly. The dress was undeniably beautiful, but the words Lilith had used to describe her felt foreign. Bold? Beautiful? No, she was none of those things. She had spent her life as a weak wolf, mistreated endlessly by her former pack. How could she suddenly be seen as anything more?Lilith's eyes gleamed with mischief as she added, "And, as you know, we vampires have a certain... appreciation for red. The king will love it on you. Don’t you want to

Aurora smiled warmly. The vampire queen was truly a kind-hearted woman."Of course, you will be my fashion shopper, Queen Lilith," she said, still in awe of the transformation she had undergone in mere minutes. The dress was exquisite, far beyond anything she had ever worn before. The fabric hugged her figure in all the right places, making her feel like someone entirely different—someone worthy.Lilith clapped her hands together excitedly. "Awww, so are you comfortable with the maid adjusting your look?"Aurora blinked at her, momentarily confused. Adjust her look? There was no way she was taking off this dress. It was perfect.Lilith, catching onto her hesitation, burst into laughter. "I meant your makeup, darling." She signaled to a maid, who hurried over with a polished wooden box.Aurora let out a nervous chuckle, feeling a little embarrassed at her misunderstanding. "Oh… yeah, of course. I don’t mind."Her cheeks flushed as the maid opened the box, revealing an array of shimmeri

Aurora looked utterly stunning. Her hair, usually tied up in a knot, now cascaded down in soft waves, bouncing lightly as she moved. Draven's gaze traveled down to her feet—those red stilettos made her taller, accentuating the graceful length of her legs.His eyes drifted upward, lingering on the way her gown hugged her curves. The sight of her made his heart stutter. He still couldn’t believe she was his. His to hold. His to love. His to cherish. The realization sent a possessive thrill through him, but he quickly shook his head, clearing his thoughts.“She’s breathtaking, isn’t she?” VuK’s teasing voice cut through the moment, and Draven turned, shooting him a glare.VuK smirked, clearly enjoying himself. “Mother really did kidnap her, didn’t she?”Draven clenched his fists but quickly relaxed them. Arguing with VuK wasn’t worth it. Instead, he walked toward Aurora, determined to have this night go the way he intended.Aurora felt her heartbeat quicken as Draven approached. For the

Come along My love. We still have another place to go." Draven said as he pulled her along to a SUV withing outside for them. Draven open the door for her like a gentleman then offered her a drink.“Take, taste, and tell me your review,” Draven said, his deep voice smooth as silk.Aurora hesitated for a moment before taking the glass from his hand. As her fingers grazed his, a light shiver escaped his lips. He smiled. He was affecting her again—just as she was affecting him.She lifted the glass, bringing it to her lips. The taste was unlike anything she had ever experienced—sweet yet complex, rich yet delicate. This was the first time she had ever tasted wine, and somehow, the Vampire King had made the moment feel special.“And how does it taste, mon amour?” Draven asked, his gaze fixed on her. He watched every movement she made, absorbing every reaction. He wanted to learn her—every habit, every expression, every thought.Aurora closed her eyes for a moment, savoring the lingering

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
