Something was wrong.Steve could not transform into his werewolf. He rolled out of the way in time to avoid the long, sharp claws of Maximus which missed him by an air width. The sand stung his skin as he rolled to his feet. The spectators cheered wildly at the action.Had he lost his powers? No. he felt powerful, in fact more powerful than he had ever been, so he had no idea what was preventing his transformation. Steve knew that it was suicide to continue evading Maximus without his werewolf powers.Maximus growled at him, his red fur bristling with vengeance. Steve called on his wolf again but no answer. Maximus roared and the walls received his savage call for blood before he stretched his powerful limbs in another charge of fury.Steve ran towards his opponent with two feet and the crowd went wild. They were astounded that the Alpha of Sterling Creek was facing a full-blooded werewolf without transforming and the act made Maximus mad. Fang was beginning to feel that Steve was u

Chapter One: The BondThe moon hung blood-red over the Spring Equinox celebration, a crimson eye watching the gathered wolves below. Emma Adams smoothed her silver dress for the hundredth time, trying to calm her racing heart. At twenty-three, she'd attended enough pack ceremonies to know the routine, but tonight felt different. The air crackled with possibility, heavy with magic that made her wolf pace restlessly beneath her skin, claws scraping against her consciousness with growing urgency.Through the towering windows of the Sterling Creek Pack house, moonlight painted the marble floors in shades of ruby and garnet. Emma's fingers trembled as she tucked a loose strand of dark hair behind her ear, the familiar scents of pack and home doing nothing to calm her nerves. Her wolf was never this restless during ceremonies, yet tonight she prowled through Emma's mind like a caged thing, sensing something momentous on the horizon."Stop fidgeting," her best friend Lily whispered, nudging

Emma's hands wouldn't stop shaking. Three attempts to pack a simple suitcase, and she'd managed nothing but a mess of scattered clothes and broken sobs. The rejection bond throbbed like an open wound in her chest, each pulse a reminder of Steve's cold eyes. She stumbled to her bathroom, gripping the counter as another wave of pain ripped through her body. Her wolf clawed at her insides, desperate to run back to the pack house, to beg for what they'd lost."A healer apprentice? The Sterling Creek Pack needs someone of proper breeding..."His words echoed in her mind, each syllable a fresh cut. The mirror caught her reflection—mascara-stained cheeks, silver dress now wrinkled and stained with tears. Her green eyes, usually bright with determination, looked hollow, haunted. Emma ripped the dress off with trembling fingers, the silk tearing with a satisfying screech. She couldn't bear its touch against her skin a moment longer. It represented everything she'd lost tonight, everything she'

"Dr. Adams, we need you in Trauma One!"Emma dropped her half-finished coffee and sprinted down the Seattle Grace Hospital corridor, her sneakers squeaking against the polished floor. Friday nights in the ER were always chaos, but something in Sarah's voice set off her instincts. Not just urgency—fear. Her wolf, usually dormant during her hospital shifts, stirred uneasily beneath her skin.Five years of emergency medicine had taught her to read the signs. The way the nurses avoided her eyes. The peculiar tension in the air. The subtle shift in scents that her weakened supernatural senses could still detect. Whatever waited behind those trauma room doors wasn't a typical case.She caught the metallic scent the moment she pushed through the doors. Wolf blood. The distinctive copper-and-lightning smell hit her like a physical blow, making her wolf surge forward with recognition."Male, early thirties," Sarah rattled off, falling into step beside her. Her friend's usually steady hands sho

Emma's hands didn't shake as she snapped on fresh gloves. They couldn't. Not now. Not when every second mattered. She'd spent five years building walls around her heart, learning to be Dr. Adams instead of just Emma, the rejected mate. But all that careful distance threatened to shatter as the ambulance sirens grew louder.The trauma bay doors burst open with a bang that made her wolf flinch. Paramedics wheeled in the gurney, their voices clipped with urgency. "Male, multiple lacerations, possible chemical exposure—"The words faded to white noise the moment she saw him. Steve Kane lay unconscious, his proud features twisted in pain. Blood soaked through his torn shirt, turning the fabric from navy to black. That same wrong chemical scent clung to his wounds, stronger now, more potent. Someone had wanted to make sure the Alpha didn't survive this attack."Start two large-bore IVs," Emma ordered, her doctor's training taking over where her emotions threatened to fail. Her voice remaine

"Three dead wolves in one night." Emma stared at the toxicology reports spread across her office desk, the numbers blurring after eighteen straight hours on shift. "All with the same modified poison."Sarah locked the door behind her, carrying fresh coffee. "The labs came back on the latest victim. Blood work's identical to the others.""And getting worse." Emma pulled up the molecular analysis on her computer. "The poison's evolving. Each batch is more sophisticated than the last."Through her office window, she could see Steve's room across the hall. He'd finally fallen into a restless sleep, his fever hovering at dangerous levels despite her magical intervention. Even unconscious, he commanded attention—the Alpha in him refusing to be diminished by something as mundane as near-fatal poisoning."You should get some rest," Sarah said, studying her face. "You've been running on fumes since they brought him in.""I'm fine.""Right." Sarah's tone dripped skepticism. "That's why you've b

It was more serious and deadlier than she thought. “Put them under a lot of morphine,” Emma hastily ordered the interns as she jogged back into the intensive care unit ward. Her heart wrenched as she watched Steve shiver in pain with his eyes rolled up into his dead. For the first time in after five years, she was at loss at what to do.See this as a challenge. She told herself. You are a healer, and one of the things that comes with it is solving the problem. Now, what is the problem?She looked at the charts monitor and saw that Steve’s fever was getting higher by the minute.“What do we do?” Sarah asked as she looked at Emma pensively.“A CT scan immediately,” Emma said. “We need to see exactly how this virus works, we need to see how it multiplies, we need to see how it regenerates, from there, we will know what to do from the results.”Sarah left the room to get the interns to wheel the Alpha to the lab.“Interesting,” Emma whispered. The Viruses were actively working and attache

“What is this shinning cell?” Sarah asked, her voice tinged with awe and wonder.It was the werewolf gene and what was also responsible for making bonds between other wolves possible but Emma was not going to say that. It was not yet time for Sarah to know about her world. It was too dangerous.“Please send the result to my office right away, I need to go see one of the patients,” Emma said and left Sarah’s lab.There was a lot of questions on her mind as she walked and passed by other nurses and patients being prepped for surgeries or scans. It was a really busy night for her and like always she was spending it in the hospital. In all honesty, there was no one waiting for her at home.Her work as a healer and doctor was her life. She was a neurosurgeon at the hospital but a healer and user of wolf magic off duty. Sometimes she combined to the two which was rare.However, she knew that she was going to have to use both her medical and healing abilities to help Steve. But first she nee

The Healer's Bond 109. ALPHA VERSUS ALPHA.
The Coliseum was forged from the nails and bones of the dead infused with scorched metal, dark magic and enchantments that prevents escape, teleportation and healing. At its centre, an altar of thick red blood glows with the essence of souls lost in combat, forever trapped.The Coliseum was filled with spectators from all over the world, waiting with impatient excitement. The thousands of loud and erratic voices were absorbed into the cursed stones walls that stored every scream of victory, pain and death.Steve took in everything as he stood at the entrance of the arena. Emma and Marcus were with him in the small space. Long was probably somewhere making bets.Emma moved close to Steve and whispered some chants on him.“What are you doing?” Steve asked her, his face etched with curiosity.“Teleportation magic on your cloth for when you transform, so you do not end up naked like the last time,” The healer replied.“Thank you, Emma,” Steve whispered. “I k
The Healer's Bond 108. DEATH VALLEY.
No words could describe the mystery of the Death Valley. It only revealed itself to those who were dealers of death or invoked by blood oath. It was hidden from the mere sights of humans because their mundane minds could not begin to comprehend the darkness surrounding the Death Valley.It went by many names. Some called it the Hollow Ground. Some called it the Blood Pit of death while others referred to it as the Last Court. The final place to settle a score or fulfil a vengeance. To the creatures of the night, it was a feared, inescapable and sacred place.The Death Valley was created by what is known as Chaos Magic. A magic so forbidden, dangerous and unpredictable that it was only used by a select few witches and mages. It was located in an abandoned subway system underground lost among layers of time and dark magic.The Limo taking Emma, Steve and Lady Long slowed to a stop across the entrance to the abandoned underground subway. Even the streets were deserted and t

“Do you accept?” Maximus asked as he looked from Long to Steve. “I am curious, Fang,” Lady long asked. “What makes you think that you are in any position to negotiate for anything?” Maximus said nothing for a while. “I am certain that you do not want to go to war with me, Dragon.” “Like it worked out well the first time,” Lady long bit back in cold sarcasm. “I have a counter offer,” Steve said and stepped forward his face was a hard mask of restrained rage. “You tell me all you know about the Sentinel and be on your way or I will beat it out of you right here and right now.” Maximus frowned and went stiff. He looked at Lady Long. “How does he know about that?” he asked the dragon. “Look at me, Maximus, I am the one you want, and the only way you are getting to the doctor is through me.” Steve proclaimed. “You poisoned her,” Emma voices added to the tension. “The timing of your attack and the time of h
The Healer's Bond 106: SINS OF THE FATHER. III.
Emma realized that Steve had his own secrets and it was unravelling before her eyes. She still had the fresh memory of his transformation in her head. She still saw how he had shrunk back from the mysterious and monstrous form of werewolf that had killed over sixty werewolves.She still remembered how the Berserker had almost bit and clawed at her. Emma was amazed by how though and hard the skin was and how fire could not even burn it.Steve had piqued her curiosity and she wanted to know how the monster operated and what made it invincible. The healer part of her wanted to know more about its anatomy. She wanted to know how something as monstrous as that could hide in the body of the Alpha.The truth was that Steve was the first Berserker she had seen in her life. What even made her more curious was how she was able to get into his mind when the bond between them was broken. According to the werewolf biology, Alpha’s could send a telepathic link to their pack membe
The Healer's Bond 105. SINS OF THE FATHER. II.
Steve knew that the dragon lady had no reason to lie but he was finding it hard to believe the words that just came out of her mouth. The Alpha was stunned into a long uneasy silence by what he heard. What made him even more shocked was that he knew it was something his father was capable of. He stood up abruptly and swayed as a bout of dizziness overtook him. He steeled himself and stood his ground. “I need fresh air,” he said and turned to leave the large room. he was wracked with a pain that he could not describe as he walked. “Why did you tell him that?!” Emma demanded angrily. “It was the truth,” Long replied with a dismissive shrug. “He is still getting better, Long,” Emma stated. “What is wrong with you?” She said and got up to leave. “He needed to know; Emma and it felt like the right to let him no.” Lady Long called after the healer. Emma saw Steve outside gazing at the horizon. It was sunset and the skies had a mi
The Healer's Bond 104: SINS OF THE FATHER
Emma took good care of Steve for the next few days. The Alpha lost a lot of fluids during his transformation as the berserker and was bed ridden due to the stress. Anytime Steve fell asleep, Emma would use the time to explore Long’s mansion. The Dragon had amassed wealth during the long span of her life.Emma found her in one of the expensive rooms in the mansion. This one was filled with books kept in very high shelves arranged in a circle of maze with expensive soft cushions in the middle. Long was seated carefree in one of the seats with her head hidden behind a book.“How are you feeling today?” Emma asked as she took a seat. Long dropped the book on the small mahogany table in front of her. The healer felt responsible for the Lady’s wellbeing even if she had no reason to.“I feel renewed,” Long said with a beaming smile. “I have to thank you properly, Emma.”“Giving us a place to rest is more than enough Long,” Emma replied.“How is the wolf doing?” Long asked in a dismissive ton
The Healer's Bond 103. AWAKENING
Heaven had a king-sized bed, soft sheets, and the lingering scent of jasmine.That was Steve’s first thought as consciousness returned to him. His second thought, arriving with considerably more force, was that heaven shouldn’t hurt this goddamn much.Pain crashed over him in a merciless wave. It felt as though every nerve ending in his body had been flayed open and doused in salt. His muscles screamed in protest at the slightest movement. His skin felt too tight, too hot, like he’d been burned all over and was still smoldering.The room around him slowly came into focus—opulent furnishings, tasteful art on the walls, sunlight filtering through gauzy curtains. Definitely not heaven, but certainly not any place he recognized.He attempted to sit up, only to fall back with a strangled groan as the movement sent fresh agony coursing through him.“Fuck,” he growled through gritted teeth.“Steve?” Emma’s voice came from the doorway, and he turned his head—car
The Healer's Bond 102. THE BEAST WITHIN
Darkness. Cold. Pain.Steve Kane floated in a void of agony, his consciousness adrift in a sea of torment. The darkness was absolute, pressing in on him from all sides like a living thing. Each labored breath sent shards of glass through his lungs. His skin—what he could still feel of it—was a road map of suffering: deep bruises that throbbed with each heartbeat, burns that seared with constant fire, and jagged cuts that pulsed with their own rhythm of torment.He couldn’t see a damn thing, but he knew exactly where he was.Trapped.Imprisoned deep within the consciousness of the War Beast—a monster of his own making, or rather, a monster made by generations of his cursed bloodline. The realization settled in his gut like lead. Calling upon the beast had been a desperate gambit, a last resort when the pack of werewolves had swarmed toward the Lady’s Lair. A choice between certain death and unleashing something far worse.And now I’m paying the price, he thought bitterly, curling his f
