We slip quickly into the clothes Gaia had told Braden to have the maid bring. Relief floods me as I strip away the harness how it dug into my skin painfully, pulling on leggings and a plain t-shirt, trading the image of a gilded whore for something human again. The cotton feels rough against my clammy skin, but I welcome it.

“We move to phase two,” Gaia says, voice sharp, almost gleeful, as she shoves her hair into a messy ponytail and laces her worn trainers. I nod, mechanically following. The air tastes like stale perfume and old wood, heavy with the scent of Braden’s depravity.

Gaia has found one of the guards — Harry — who, let’s just say, has an unhealthy fondness for Braden. Harry waits for us outside the bedroom.

We hear Braden through the door before we even open it. His grunts, the manic creak of the bed frame, the wet slap of skin on plastic as he continues to defile the mannequin. My stomach clenches. Harry leans casually against the wall, expressionless, as though he’s wa

    Gaia types furiously, fingers pounding the keyboard like she's driving nails into Braden’s coffin.“Where did you get those?” I whisper, throat tightening as medical records flicker onto the screen. My medical records. Each highlighted word exposes what Braden did to me, like wounds torn open for everyone to see.“Don’t hate me,” Gaia murmurs, voice small but determined. Without hesitation, she writes cruel, unfiltered truths about Braden and calls for a pack-wide vote on who should challenge him.My stomach twists. They need to know — gods, they need to know — but now every pack knows. Every Alpha, every warrior, every elder. My shame, my pain, sprawled across the screen.“They need to know, Claudie,” Gaia says, voice steady but her eyes glisten with restrained emotion. “If they don’t, they’ll never believe it. This is depraved, yes, but does it proves he isn’t fit to lead?: Her eyes flick to the screen. "We have to bury him completely. If anyone stays loyal, they’ll challenge us the

    “Claudie?” Gaia chokes, her voice raw as she kneels in front of Braden, wheezing. I press the knife tighter against his neck, but he thrashes beneath me, trying to scramble free. I hadn’t fully believed it until now — that Braden would sink so low — but the feeling gnaws at me.The feeling I would get when holding the whip was unsettling. Deep inside, I know. The truth hits me with a cold finality. Even Leon looked disgusted when he saw it, like he recognized it for what it is. The whipe, his spine still carries the faint scent of my father — distant, but unmistakable — clinging to the metal like a ghost. How had I not noticed it before? I used his bones to carve up my mate all for a man who made me think he loved me. “Do you deny it?” I snarl, pressing the blade harder, my jaw aching from how tight I’m clenching it. Braden, weak and bloodied, just chuckles. The sound curdles in my stomach. He hasn't suffered enough. We’ve been far too lenient. The shock freezes me for a second, enou

    My heart pounds like a war drum as I stare down at the blade in my hand. This is the part I’ve dreaded in more ways than I can count — the death of my mate. I always thought Claudia would do it for me, spare me from this. But here she is, giving it to me, letting me take the kill. It's not that I don't want to - I'm just not sure what it will mean for me?I take a few steadying breaths, but my chest feels tight, like something is coiled inside me. Can I really drive this blade through his heart and claim the title of Alpha?I guess it does have a nice ring to it.“What the hell,” I mutter, squaring my shoulders and sucking in a sharp breath. “Karma’s a bitch, baby, and it’s time to pay up,” I coo at Braden, tossing the blade between my hands. The weight feels heavier than it should. “Braden Scott, I challenge you for the title of Alpha of the New Moon Pack,” I growl, feeling my wolf surge forward like a tidal wave. She doesn't hesitate. She wants this. She doesn’t care that he’s our m

    “Leo!” Claudia screams, voice sharp and desperate, slicing through the chaos as my stomach twists. Who the hell is Leo? She runs, wild and reckless, before launching herself into Asher’s arms. He catches her without hesitation, clutching her to him, murmuring something into her ear as she trembles, the adrenaline draining from her. I don’t understand. Is it a pet name? A secret only they share? Why would she call Asher Leo?Still, my attention drifts, searching for the one person I need to see. Faces blur until I catch a flash of fiery red hair and sharp green eyes. Erin. She smiles, soft and knowing, and relief floods me. She understood. I mean, I told her as much when I used my magic to play along and bring them all here—but still, I worried. My act could have been a little too convincing. I give her a small, grateful wave before scanning the crowd again, pulse pounding.Because I feel it.The pull.It surges deep inside my chest, demanding, undeniable. I turn, heart in my throat—and

    I lick his mark, sealing it shut as I stare into those perfect blue eyes. “I guess this makes you my Luna, huh?” I murmur, breathless, completely undone as his arms tighten around me, his big hands firmly gripping my ass, holding me like I’m the only thing that matters.“Call me whatever you want, baby girl, as long as I’m yours,” he purrs, voice deep, heavy with possession—and oh goddess, I am gone. Liquid heat pools between my thighs, my body already buzzing for him.“Gaia,” Claudia calls, waving me over. I barely manage to glance her way, but Reid doesn’t even flinch, as if she doesn't exist. We both feel it—the primal need pulling us together. “Um, we’ll see you in the morning, yeah?” I mumble, eyes locked on my mate. Claudia just laughs, teasing, as she shoos everyone away, promising tomorrow’s celebration for the new Alpha and her mate.Reid doesn't wait. His arms tighten and he carries me up the stairs like I'm weightless. I have no idea where he’s taking me, and I don’t care.

    He picks me up, throwing me over his shoulder like some brute — which I secretly love, judging by the girlish squeal that escapes me. Water drips from both our bodies, leaving a trail on the floor as he carries me to the bed. Without hesitation, he tosses me onto the soft sheets, and I bounce slightly, breathless.He lifts one of my feet, and to my shock, begins to suck and nibble on my toes. When did I ever tell him I liked this? Yet, the moment his tongue licks along my arch, sharp and wet, I feel my juices practically gush out of me.“Reid,” I moan, desperate and trembling, as he bites down harder on my toe, sending a wicked jolt straight through me. My heart races. I barely have time to swallow before he crawls up my body, slow and deliberate, pinning both my wrists above my head with one strong hand.“Say when, baby girl,” he whispers against my neck, his hot breath making my skin prickle.“Huh?” I manage, but the question dies on my lips as he parts my legs and presses the thick

    I smile softly as Gaia and Reid wander off. I still can’t believe she got her canines back, but I guess Reid’s mark healed her in ways none of us could have imagined. A quiet calm settles over the house, threading through the pack like a tentative sigh of relief.Erin leads a few guards upstairs to remove Braden’s body, their footsteps heavy and deliberate. Leo, on the other hand, stays by my side, unmoving, unwavering.It’s over. And yet, one more thing hangs over us like a storm waiting to break.“What’s the matter, love?” Leo asks, gently turning me to face him. His touch is soft, but the sight of him standing in this house—it’s too much. My stomach churns. I blink, but the past floods in anyway: flashes of him as a slave, his skin beneath the whip, Braden's twisted grin hovering behind my eyes. I swallow thickly.“I just want to go home,” I whisper, and it’s true—though not the whole truth.We wander down the hall, the quiet pressing in on us, until we reach the lounge. We hardly

    There is a pack BBQ being set up in the garden of the Alpha mansion. The intricate bushes, towering trees, blooming flowers, and the gentle trickle of the pond all add to the loveliness of the day, but there is a hum beneath it, something stirring beneath the surface. To my surprise, Gaia is already in the thick of it, directing where the marquee and BBQ station are to be placed. She even has a few guards digging up part of the garden for a hog roast, their shovels biting into the earth with sharp, rhythmic thuds. There’s a pep in her step as she waltzes through the preparations, her eyes scanning every detail to make sure the decorations are just to her liking.I can’t help but wonder if everyone in the pack is secretly relieved now that Braden is gone — or if Gaia is using her persuasion magic to ease them into the transition. I can’t be sure. The energy feels too smooth, too compliant. But perhaps I am overthining it. When she spots me walking across the lawn, she runs toward me,

    Epliogue Part 2Thirty Years LaterToday is the day Grey finally moves out of the castle. My youngest is ready to explore the world on his own. None of the other kids have moved far, not really. But this feels different. This is him leaving. He won’t be under our roof anymore. And even though we have centuries together, it doesn’t make this any easier. My heart still aches at the thought of his absence echoing through the halls.What doesn’t help is the fact that Gaia and I both believe his mate is her daughter, Summer. Which means he’ll be hours away from us, living at the New Moon Pack. Gaia and Reid are thrilled at the idea. Honestly, I sometimes suspect Gaia’s been nudging fate with her magic… except her spells have no effect on Summer, and Grey never seems to react to any of Gaia’s not-so-subtle hints that they should mark each other.Summer and Grey have been inseparable since they were little. Every year, we’d spend the summers with the New Moon Pack, or Gaia, Reid, and Summer w

    Epilogue Ten Years LaterThose years with Braden feel like nothing more than a distant memory. There was a time I couldn’t imagine being happy or free like I am now. That’s not to say the nightmares don’t still come—those nights I jolt awake in a cold sweat, heart racing, lungs gasping for air as if I’m still trapped in that hell. But all it takes is a glance into the storm-grey eyes of my mate, and the past fades like smoke. I’m here. I’m safe. It’s over.The last ten years pass in a blur. It’s only when our son arrives that I truly feel the weight of all the children I lost. Pregnancy, as joyful as it is, terrifies me. I dread something going wrong, haunted by the possibility that Braden’s poisons still lurk in my blood, waiting to strike. That's really when the nightmares came once again. The birth is… intense. I’d like to say it went smoothly. But Leo, on the other hand? I see clumps of his thick dark hair littering the hospital floor by the time the nurse is telling me to push.

  • The Lost Alphas Daughter   Claudia

    Things are finally settling down and becoming normal again. Leo and I work hard, but we play hard too. It’s exactly how I always pictured my life would be when I was younger—only now, it’s my reality.“There you are, baby. I’ve been looking for you.”I’d know that voice anywhere. Every hair on my arms and along my neck prickles to attention. My stomach drops.“No… no, you’re dead.” I whisper because it's the only thing that makes sense. I spin around, heart thundering in my chest. He stands there—Braden—his dark blue eyes gleaming with a sinister glint, his wolfish grin carved across his face like a predator who’s already won. I know that look too well now. Nothing good comes from that look. He strolls toward me, each step slow, measured, powerful. I stumble backward until the wall presses into my spine. My breath stutters. It doesn’t make sense. He’s dead.He stops just in front of me, reaching out to toy with a strand of my hair. His fingers are deceptively gentle until they tight

    I feel a squeeze on my hand as silence creeps in, thick and heavy like a storm about to break. Even Erin glances our way, her eyes narrowing as if she can see straight through me—like there’s a neon sign on my forehead flashing the word Lycan.The crowd shifts subtly, a ripple through the mass of bodies. I follow it with my eyes until I see him—a man at the back moving with unnatural smoothness, like a shadow cutting through the haze of murmurs and hushed breathing. One of the guards. I recognize him; he usually works the front gate, stopping intruders from ever getting this far.He’s coming closer. Step by step.My pulse thunders in my ears.Should I pull Claudia behind me? Should I shift? Should I fight?I count the seconds, heart pounding, my beast snarling just under the surface. Claudia’s grip tightens on my hand—iron strong. I couldn’t move even if I wanted to.The man climbs the stairs to stand before us. My beast pushes forward, hackles rising, claws itching to tear through

    We’ve called a pack meeting, and nerves twist in my gut like a coiled serpent. Claudia told me to come clean—about who I really am. It’s not that I don’t want to. This has been my pack for years; it’s my home. I know these people. I trust them. They’ve had my back through everything. But knowing I’m a lycan means other packs might come for us. They always do. No one likes someone stronger, faster, who heals quicker than the rest. Envy breeds discontent, and I don’t want to paint a target on my back—not when we’ve finally found peace. Not when we are about to have a family. At the same time, we need to explain what’s happened—why Gaia and Reid have left the Blood Moon pack, and why we’ve both been missing for the last few weeks. I’m getting ready now, trying to tame my hair from where Claudia’s fingers pulled at it through the night. I smooth down my shirt, ensuring it’s pressed just right before tightening my belt.Claudia appears in the doorway, her long, dark hair cascading like in

    She sucks me deep, taking me into her throat with a moan that vibrates through my entire body. Her tongue swirls around the sensitive head, lapping up the precum already leaking from me. Her hand works in perfect rhythm with her mouth, pumping and twisting as she sucks me off like it’s the only thing she’s ever wanted to do.“Fuck, love,” I growl, my hands tangling in her hair as I thrust into her mouth, fucking her face with a desperation that matches her own. She gags slightly but doesn’t pull away, taking every inch of me like a fucking champion. The heat of her throat squeezes me, and the pressure coils tight in my gut, my balls heavy and aching.But she’s not done yet.She pulls off my cock with a wet pop, her lips swollen and shining with spit as she crawls up my body. Her tits brush against my chest, soft and maddening, leaving streaks of heat on my skin. She kisses me deep, and I taste myself on her tongue—salty, musky, and so fucking her. She reaches between us, guiding my co

    We make it back to the Blood Moon pack in record time. Claudia falls asleep early into the car journey, with Erin joining her shortly after. Erin snores the entire way home, the sound sharp and grating, but it keeps me awake.It may have taken us a long time to get here, but I know now—nothing is going to come between us again. We are having a pup. Something I hadn’t dared to dream of, especially so soon. After everything Claudia has been through—every miscarriage, every tear, every ounce of pain—I had no expectations. I was happy just having the two of us for a while. But now? Now, everything is different.It does put a slight hitch in my plans, though. I need to check the library to see if it’s still possible. I want to change Claudia into a lycan. It’s a grueling process and there are risks, but after the time I spent away from her—after how Braden altered her mind so she no longer recognized me—I can’t risk anything like that happening again. More than anything, I want time with h

    The BBQ goes well — the pack loves Gaia, and maybe they always have. She’s been here from the beginning, after all. She is one of them. With Reid by her side, I know that whatever lingering trauma she carries, he will be there to catch her if she stumbles. The two of them are annoyingly cute together.Leo’s arms are wrapped around me as the five of us settle into the quieter part of the garden, drinks in hand, our bellies full — probably more than full. I swear we’ve eaten twice our body weight. The smell of smoked herbs and charred vegetables still hangs in the air, making my mouth water despite the feast. And I’m eating for two now, so there’s always room. At least that is my excuse.“I think I’m going to like it here,” Reid muses, scratching his chin. Gaia is draped lazily across his lap, gazing at him like he’s hung the moon itself. He toys with her wild hair, curling it around his fingers, and the two of them look so achingly content it almost feels like we’re intruding.“I guess
