last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2025-03-06 08:06:32

Alpha Ryder ran quickly through the underground tunnel, his wolf senses sharp, his mind a tangled mess of emotions drilling him down. He knew Alpha Alex's warriors were searching the Zodak Moon Pack for him, but they wouldn't find his oozing scent. He had been conscious, using the secret underground escape path his warriors had prepared in case of casualties.

But his thoughts weren’t on his escape—it was on her. “Nora” his true mate.

His heart tightened painfully at the recall of her in his arms, the way she had melted beneath his touch, her body responding to him regardless of her challenge. She still desired him. He could feel it in the way her breath fastened, in the way her hands gripped him like he was her lifeline support system. Yet, she had pushed him away, refusing to escape with him.

"R.ryder I have to go back to my room, or he’ll come after me with worse torment." Those were her exact words.

Ryder grated his teeth, his murderous wolf growling in frustration. Just thinking o

  • Torn Between Two Alpha's    CHAPTER 11: Nora’s Dilemma

    She tossed and turned in her bed, staring at the clock as it crept towards midnight, the guilt gnawing at her chest".Every time she shut her eyes, she felt Alex’s piercing stare, the ghost of Ryder’s warmth, and the far howls of Alpha Alex's warriors searching for him.Her body still reacts to Ryder’s kiss, her mind at war with itself. “She shouldn’t have let him touch her, She shouldn’t have responded”. But goddess helped her, she did; she couldn't rest her wolf yarning for him.She buried her face in her small pillow, desperate to stop the memories from flooding in, but it was difficult. His scent still clung to her skin regardless of her attempts to wash it away.Her wolf was restless. He’s back for us. He won’t leave us again, her wolf growling."But I can’t go with him," Nora argued within. If I run, Alex will never stop chasing us.But even as she fought the thought, her heart tightened.She wasn’t sure how much longer she could survive under Alex’s torment.*************The s

  • Torn Between Two Alpha's    Chapter 12 ALPHA ALEX

    Alex clenched his fists tightly, his brows furrowed in frustration. He paced back and forth across his chamber, the flames in the fireplace casting flickering shadows across the grand walls. Letting out exasperated sighs.He didn’t like being kept in suspense. And certainly not by him—the very Alpha who had once thrown Nora away like a broken toy, only to now desire her back but he was still not sure of Alpha Ryder's intentions.Still, the message his warriors brought from Alpha Ryder rang in his ears."I will come, but not because he has demanded it. But because I have demands to make. Not a request. Not a courtesy. “A demand”.“He gasps, releasing the warmth breath that had been stuck in his throat..“I wonder what Alpha Ryder wanted to demand”? "Why now?" Alex muttered, running a hand through his dark full hair. "Why at my Royal Banquet?"The timing was too convenient. The night of the Royal Banquet was the one evening where an Alpha displayed the full wealth, power, and beauty of

  • Torn Between Two Alpha's    CHAPTER 13: THE ALPHA SEER

    The Alpha Seers, along with other powerful guards, stood tall and unwavering, the seers insisting on meeting with Alpha Alex. The air was tense as they requested an audience with the Alpha urgently."What's the matter?" Alpha Alex's eyes widened, his gaze darted between the seer and his guards as he stepped out of Nora's room. He was eager to know the reason behind the commotion between them."Alpha, we apologize for the disturbance, but we have an urgent issue to discuss with you," one of the seers replied, his voice firm and determined.Alex's inquisitiveness was piqued, and he quickly led the group to his Royal office. Immediately they entered, he shut the door behind them, his eyes fast with curiosity.There was a heavy silence as the three Seers stood before him, their cloaks moist from the storm outside. Lightning rumbled in the distance, the flickering candlelight casting weird shadows across their serious faces.Quickly "Speak," he commanded them, his voice low and threatening

  • Torn Between Two Alpha's    Chapter 14: Nora’s Trick

    In the carriage Nora sat stiffly as it rumbled down the dirt road, her heart throbbing in her chest. The two Omegas Alpha Alex had assigned to escort her slid onto the seat beside her on either side, their eyes sharp, watching her every move as the Coachman closed them in. She prefers to take the carriage rather than drive Alex's luxurious cars that may have invisible devices planted within the edges. She knew she had to be careful—Alex didn’t trust her, and if they suspected anything weird, they would report back to him instantly. But she had no option. She needed to get to her father’s house, and she needed to search for Alex's mother's artifact. It was the only proof she had of her step-sister's lies and the evidence she could use to clear her name. She breathed slowly, trying to remain calm. The plan had to work. The route stretched far ahead, winding through the thick forest that paved the way for the highway, the cool evening air brushing against her smooth skin. The distance

  • Torn Between Two Alpha's    CHAPTER 15: UNVEILING SECRETS!

    Eve walks through the market shopping mall, her published fingernails trailing over the fresh yield. Carrots—check. Peppers—check. Green beans—check. Lettuce, onions, cabbage… Her lips curled into a contented smile as she mentally checked off each item in the market basket. The day had been peaceful, which suited her just fine. The fewer commotion, the better.Then she saw her—Mary, Nora's childhood friend.Mary's sharp eyes were fixed onto her, monitoring her every step and full of something Eve didn’t like.Eve tried to quickly turn away but Mary was already in front of her, holding her wrist tightly.“You,” Mary hissed, staring into her eyes. “I know exactly what you’ve done to Nora.”Eve’s eyes narrowed as she pulled her arm free from her grip, but Mary’s words sent a shaver down her spine. “I have no idea what you’re talking about,” Eve sneered, flipping her golden locks over her shoulder while still maintaining a glance at Mary.Mary smiled. “Oh, don’t play dumb, Eve. You accuse

    The air between them crackled with heavy tension. Alpha Alex’s angry gaze remained on Nora as he moved forward, his high frame causing a dark shadow over her. His lips curled into a snarl, anger built beneath his face.“What's going on here?“You dare deceive me again by asking the Omegas to send a false link that the Rogues are attacking your carriage?” why you here with y..your..? he growled, his hand snapping forward, aiming to strike her.Before the slaps could land on Nora's face, Ryder’s fingers clasped around Alex’s wrist, stopping him mid-way. The effect of Ryder’s grip sent a warning through the air."You don’t dare lay a hand on her," Ryder’s voice was low, furious.Alex’s eyes flicked to him, filled with venom. “Stay out of this, Ryder. This is my pack, my laws, my Luna and you dare not inter—”“She is not your Luna,” Ryder cut in, his voice filled with anger. “You rejected her, remember?” He shoved Alex’s hand away from his, stepping between him and Nora.Nora stood stiff,

  • Torn Between Two Alpha's    CHAPTER 17 Ryder’s Flashback

    The instant Nora called to inform me about her mother’s failing health, I dropped everything. I had an important meeting with all the pack Alpha far across territories, but none of that mattered. My mate needed me at that particular time. I stepped outside the meeting hall, my hands clenched into fists and immediately I dialed Alex’s number.“Alex, I can’t make it to the meeting. It’s urgent,” I said, pacing around the meeting hall corridor.His voice was fast.“This is a high-stakes negotiation, Ryder. I'm already at the parking lot, taking a lift to the meeting hall and if I may ask, what could be more urgent than securing an alliance?”“It’s Nora’s mother. She’s dying.”He was silent for a moment. Then a scoff. “So what? Are you still obsessed with her? I told you, she’s cursed, Ryder. That girl”“Enough, Alex.” My voice was harsh. “She’s my mate.”“She was never meant to be your mate but y…you.”I didn’t wait for him to complete the statement. I ended the call and stormed out of th

    Nora sobbed, wiping away the tears dripping down her face. The burden of everything crashed down on her, the heartless words Alpha Alex had whispered into her ear before she left still echoing in her fragile mind."I will peel the last flesh off your father’s body and feed it to the dogs if you don’t leave right now. You cannot escape from your atrocity, Nora."Her hands shaking in anger, she gripped the edge of the mirror in front of her. Then, with a loud cry of fury, she smashed her fist into the mirror, shattering it into little pieces."Alex” such a pathetic bastard!" she screamed, her chest shaking.He still thought he owned her. After everything? After rejecting her, disgracing and humiliating her, and blaming her for his mother’s murder, he still had the boldness to control her.How could he be so heartless?" she muttered, her voice shaking in anger.Such a coward. That’s what he is. Shameless hiding behind politics and pack alliances to avoid fighting Alpha Ryder in a challen

  • Torn Between Two Alpha's    CHAPTER 31 – Journey Back to the Zodak Pack

    The forest around them pulses with the silence of anticipation, broken only by the rare whistling of an owl or the scratches of dry leaves beneath their feet. The moon hung high in the sky, radiating pale beams of blurred silver that filtered through the canopy trees, lighting their path as Nora, Alex, and Ryder moved through the woods forest, creating a path in the bushes.She adjusted her shoulder, her body still ached and her wrists were still red and raw from the silver chains. But Nora minds? Was sharp, clear and focused. There was no going back to that fragile wolf she was. Not after everything Eve had made her gone through in the hands of Alpha Alex.“I…I think we should stop here and rest for the night,” Ryder said suddenly, his voice steady as he gazed at Nora. His eyes held the concern of a man who hadn’t stopped watching her since they left the cave after fighting the deadly rogues.Nora nodded, appreciative but speechless. She was super tired, yes. But mostly, she was thin

  • Torn Between Two Alpha's    CHAPTER 30 – Alex’s Possessiveness

    Her heart continued to pound tightly in her chest as the event before her unfolded like a scary nightmare, everything around her was strange. Dreadful rogues moved in, their glowing red eyes filled with evil, surrounding her and the masked man like a pack of hungry predators that have seen a prey to devour. The scent of blood and groans thickened in the air. Despite the danger, her eyes were fixed on the masked figure standing protectively in front of her.Nora inhaled, she knew that scent. That dreaded, powerful and familiar aura. The way he moved with precise, lethal grace with royalty.Yes, it was “Alex”.B..but why was he here? Why had he come to save her after everything he had done? Was Mary right when she said Alpha Alex still has feelings for me?Just before she could fully process it, a deep, harsh growl echoed through the cavern. Another massive figure springs into the battle, fur that's dark as midnight, fangs bared with deadly intent sound.It was “Ryder”.He storms the b

  • Torn Between Two Alpha's    CHAPTER 29 Nora in the Cave 

    Everywhere was dark when she woke up, she was no longer in the Zodak packhouse.Nora's head pounded, her body felt weak, and the sharp scent of earth and damp stone filled her nose.“Where am I?” She asked, opening her eyes slightly. With chains bounding her wrists tightly, which glow faintly with silver runes that suppressed her wolf within. She could feel a scary shadow loomed over her, she closed her eyes and reopen them again for a clearer vision, then she found herself staring at a face she hadn’t seen in years.A face that sent t chill through her spine.“Hello, Nora,” the man said, his voice smooth and deadly. “Did you miss me?”Her heart skips seeing the face standing before her, dressed in dark robes and exuding raw, terrifying power….Was the rogue Alpha who had once sworn to destroy the Zodak pack and behind him was Eve, smiling. “This is your new home Nora” A cave, this is where you belong. Eve said.Fear shoots up in Nora’s chest. A cave. That wasn’t just any punishment…w

  • Torn Between Two Alpha's    CHAPTER 28 Eve's Power

    In the morning, Nora moved through the packhouse as if nothing had changed. She kept her head low, avoiding Eve and Alex as much as she could. But inside, she was counting the hours until she could retrieve the tracker stone from Eve’s room without being noticed.And If it worked, she would finally have proof.That evening, a sharp knock on her door made her blood cold. She turned the handle slowly and found herself face-to-face with two of Alex’s most powerful warriors.“Alpha Alex wants to see you,” one of them said, his face unreadable.She swallowed the hard lump in her throat. Was it because she declared she and Ryder had been together? Or did they catch her sneaking into Eve’s room the other day? Oh, maybe the tracker had been found? Whatever it was, seems urgent and important than whatever she had disclosed yesterday.She forced herself to nod. “I..I’ll be right behind you.”Her heart kept racing, as she followed them through the corridor.What if this was it? What if Alex was

    Her breath fastened as Ryder’s lips moved against hers, slow and steady……it deepened into something rough and intense as if he was trying to prove a point with every touch that he meant what he said. His hands cupped her face gently and romancing it with his fingers, his touch both familiar and dreadful. A storm of unexplainable emotions raged inside her…anger, longing, betrayal, and something deeper, something terrifying or maybe something she couldn't explain.Nora inhaled as his hands slid to her waist, pulling her against him. She could feel the beating of his heart against hers, the warmth of his body wrapping her like a promise he would never break again.She should push him away. She should remind herself of the pain he had once caused her, of the nights she had cried herself to sleep, cursing his name, the several calls and messages without reply But the moment his fingers trailed down her arm, sending shivers across her skin, she melted into him, lost with desirable pleasure.

  • Torn Between Two Alpha's    Chapter 26 – Secrets Beneath the Surface

    Nora’s heart continued trembling as she walked back into her room, her pulse racing from what she had just seen. Eve’s reflection… changed and twisted dark…the thought burned in her mind. She had suspected her stepsister of having wicked intentions, but this was something far worse.How could she be using dark magic? Something forbidden and deadly.If Alpha Alex knew this, would he eventually see Eve’s true colors? Or was he too lost under her spell to care about the truth?She shut the door silently behind her, resting against it to catch her breath. The smooth stone Elder Moscus had given her felt like it weighed a hundred pounds in her pocket before she placed it in Eve's floorboards. Oh dear lord “ I hope it works.” If it worked, it would expose Eve once and for all. But if it didn't work…N…No it couldn’t fail.A cracking sound near her window brought her out of her thoughts. Her heart froze to her throat as her wolf senses flared up, scanning the room and looking toward the win

    It was a cold night and the cool air brushed against Nora’s skin as she moved silently through the thick lonely forest. The moon hung high in the sky, radiating an eerie silver glow over the tangled tree branches. Her heart flumped against her ribs with each step she took toward the eastern border, following the direction on the parchment.This could be a trap, it kept resounding in her head.B..but if it wasn’t… and the Elder had answers,… she had to know and she didn't mind taking the risk.A twig snapped beneath her legs, and she froze, looking around the dark forest. The air felt unease with tension, and her wolf stirred up uneasily inside her. She tried to control her heavy breathing, she swallowed hard and she kept pushing forward. She had no choice now, she needed answers.When she reached the clearing, a tall, shaded figure stood waiting. His wide shoulders and the weight of authority in his position made her breath seized. It was him….Elder Moscus. One of the oldest and most

    Nora frowned as she walked back toward the packhouse. The moment she reached her room, she shut the door and relaxed against it, breathing angrily. Her blood still boiling from the confrontation with Alex and Eve, if she had not known Alpha Alex, she would have said he was already bewitched by that evil girl Eve. Damn him!What has come over him? He was letting the pack so vulnerable and the painful aspect was his I don't care attitude. Alpha Alex had always been careless and had left majority of the pack affair for her to be in control but not to this length. Something strange was fishing….Why was she still here? Why was she still putting up with this torment and humiliation she get from Alpha Alex every day?She had no true place in this pack anymore. The Omegas warming Alpha Alex's bed had no regard for her, the warriors didn’t respect her, Alpha Alex barely noticed her unless it was to scold or control her, and Eve… Eve is a complete description of evil and is still playing her

    Nora had walked quietly out of the pack, veiled, hoping that no one noticed her. Although all her wounds had healed up, her body was still tender and her mind was still raw with pain.“Luna,” an elderly woman called out, tapping her back affectionately. Nora stifled a whimper and ground her teeth as pain rippled through her nerves. Slowly she spun around and plastered a false smile on her face.“Zara,” she greeted.He gave her a wry smile, “Thank you. My mate told me how you helped her yesterday with foodstuffs for our pups. You're the best thing that has happened to this pack,” she said. Tears welled in Nora's eyes, her aching heart broke a little more pieces. Her smile faltered and she struggled to keep it up. “Don't mention Zare,” She croaked, “That's what a Luna is for, isn't it?” Nora asked.Zara grinned and squeezed her shoulders, “Yes, but you're humane about it. It's heartwarming. You are a true Princess, thank you.” She finished, smiling and hobbled away. The moment she wa
