Twisted Mates. FREEDOM OF TRANSFORMATION
His eyes stared back at him. He curled his lips back and snarled at himself. White fangs flashed on the metalHe was a wolf, a 130-pound wolf with pale blond fur or, safe to say, white fur because they were the pure breed. The only part of him that remained were his eyes, sparking with a cold intelligence and a simmering ferocity that could never be mistaken for anything but human. But now, they were more advanced than humans because they were sharper and could see through anything.He looked around, inhaling the scents of the city again. He was nervous there. Feeling threatened and exposed. It was too close to where anyone could see a lost animal and raise an alarm because it reeked of humans. He must be careful to find out whatever triggered his wolf apart from his healing process. If he was seen, he would be mistaken for a dog, a large mixed breed. A dog that size wouldn't be seen as cute at all. It was a threat.He headed for the back of the laneway and sought a path through the h
Twisted Mates. BACK TO JAKE
Finally, Freya arrived at her fiancée's apartment. Entering the house, she met a very anxious Jake, who had worry and sadness written all over his face."I can't believe you hired guards to search for me," Freya nagged, throwing her arms around Jake's neck. "I am sorry," she apologized before drowning him in a pool of passionate kisses. They only broke it off when both of them were panting out of suffocation.Jake was speechless. Only staring deep into Freya's eyes and holding her shoulders like she was a fragile thing that would shatter if he let go.Jake cupped her face, rubbing his thumbs along her cheekbones. Not speaking, just gazing down into her eyes. "Are you hurt?" He finally managed to ask."Not at all. How about you?" Freya asked, leading Jake to an empty couch. "Are you hurt?""No." Sighing, "what was all that? Who was the guy and why did you run off?" Jake bombarded her with questions."Did Dante hurt anyone else?" Freya asked, her anger rising. She knew Dante didn't leave
Twisted Mates. THE ATTACK
Dante might not have gotten exposed to the outside world, but, Alpha Hero made it important for him to learn about earth and every aspect of it, including the part he is in. He knew that his kind was an abomination to most individuals, except those who understood the history and took interest in shifters. If he has been faced with life-threatening exposure to danger from undocumented wolves, that means that he wasn't safe and news about his fate had gone out. So many would want to seize that opportunity to overthrow him. Then the rest will see him as weak and try to ally with his enemies. That is why his absence was kept secret. If this happened to him, that means even his inner circle was faulty and no one could be trusted.Nearly half an hour later, he was standing at the crest of a hill. His nose twitched, picking up the vestiges of an illegal leaf fire smoldering in a nearby yard.The wind bristled through his fur, chill, nearly cold, invigorating. Above him, traffic thundered acro
Twisted Mates. POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE EMOTIONS
As the second wolf flew free, the first launched itself at Dante's face. Ducking his head, he caught it in the throat, but Dante's teeth clamped down on fur instead of flesh, and it squirmed away. It tried to back off for a second lunge, but Dante, out of aggression, leaped at it, backing it into a tree. It reared up, trying to get out of his way. He slashed for its throat. This time he got his grip. Blood spurted in his mouth, salty and thick. The first wolf landed on Dante's back. His legs buckled. Teeth sunk into the loose skin beneath his skull. Fresh pain arced through him.Concentrating hard, he kept his grip on the first wolf's throat. He steadied himself, then released it for a split second, just long enough to make the fatal slash and tear. As he pulled back, blood sprayed into his eyes, blinding him. He swung his head hard, ripping out the coyote's throat. Once he felt it go limp, he tossed it aside, then threw himself on the ground and rolled over. The wolf on Dante's back r
Twisted Mates. IF THERE WAS FOREVER...
After a brief nap, Freya stood and went to get ready. Today, she has made up her mind to enjoy it, putting all her worries aside. All she knew was Jake and every memorable moment they were going to spend together.A long soothing bath followed by careful application of ointment was enough to take away the long, stressful, and scary night she experienced. The truth was, briefly, she forgot about what the Moon Goddess had said concerning Freya's wolf. She must clear her mind, body, and soul to give way to her time with Jake.Freya strolled into her built-in walk-in closet to choose a sexy outfit. Without stressing, her eyes landed on a nude-sleeveless-sheer cocktail gown with a Queen Anne's neck that cut all the way down to the belly button. The breast region was decorated with silver, which went down in a single lane to form a flower pattern around the waist.Inhaling a large amount of air that made her blood pump, she stretched her hand and ran it all over the long gown, feeling its sm
Twisted Mates. SEEKING REFUGE
When Dante alighted from the lonely alley in Oklahoma for the second time, the sky was already clearing to give way for morning to take over. The air was icy cold. His body ached as a result of being mercilessly engaged in life-threatening battles throughout the night. To add to that, he was wearing unsuitable walking shoes. Unlike on his previous visit, no purpose would have driven him to stay. But now, he had no choice. That meant that bad walking shoes were the least of the problem at hand.Before the passing of Alpha Hero, he had told Dante that there was a name he could always run to at whatever time he found himself in the human. He only mentioned the name, Emerson Declan, to him. This was the only person Dante fought so hard to contact. Aside from him, he was stranded in the human world. Already, Dante kept enough resources to sustain him, knowing fully well that he was coming back again after his first visit. What was expected of the only child and future Alpha of the stronges
Twisted Mates. LONELY JOURNEY
After what felt like forever, the cab finally came to a stop."We are here," the cabbie announced.Dante peered around the surrounding from the window. It was remote and kind of away from the city. "Where?""You said the nearest resting place," he said with a big smile plastered on his face.Dante's anger spiked immediately. Things like this made him lose absolute control. "Don't tempt me. I am pretty confident that I made my statement clear. I need a hotel, not this remote environment. Is this a joke or what?"Frowning, "not to me. Please step down and pay up the can fare. I have to continue my daily business."Dante had already lost all will of arguing further. With so much frustration, he got down from the cab and paid the cabman."Have a nice day," the cabman greeted, earning a dreadful glare from Dante.He did not feel like struggling with heavy suitcases, so, he decided to get whatever he was going to need over here. Packing from his Alpha house would have been suspicious to the
Twisted Mates. JITTERY
Jake was quiet for a minute after Freya mentioned him keeping secrets. Probably, he was equally having thought about Freya's numerous secrets which he had been patient with. None of them was a saint on this matter. They both had a hidden skeleton.They were stuck in midday traffic on Ring-Road Avenue. Freya kept her face glued to the window, watching the different tall buildings and individuals going about their daily business pass by as she sat, lost in her thoughts.She couldn't figure out whether it was good luck or bad that Dante had reappeared shortly before her engagement. It was making her uneasy. For Dante to step out of his comfort zone and meet her in Oklahoma couldn't be a coincidence. He hated to be away from where he was in charge. So, why here?On Jake's side, he had feelings and people he was worried about dealing with. This was one of the little reasons Freya loved him. Amidst the wealth, smoking-hot-body and power, he still had issues. It made him seem too human. The

Twisted Mates. EPILOGUE
A two-year-old boy held Freya's hand, his tiny fingers wrapped around hers. He looked exactly like Dante, with Freya's kind eyes. The little folk tried taking fast strides as he walked with Freya. “Archer Blue Dante, come on, slow down. You know you have shorter legs,” Freya spoke to the boy as if he was an adult.The little boy, as if reading meaning into his mother's scolding, pouted his lips and froze. Freya bent to his level and swooped him off his feet, tickling the sweet boy. He writhed and struggled in her hold before she slouched him over her shoulder once more.She was taking a stroll through the pack house, heading for the prison. Today was the visiting day for prisoners, and she always took out time to visit them, especially the Tahilas. Under Freya, that system was reformed. Tahilas were now prisoners who committed acts like treason, murder, rape, and domestic violence. Yes, she didn't want any negative strings in her kingdom. Even with that, she visited them, made sure the
Twisted Mates. A NEW ERA
Months later…Freya was dressed in a blue princess gown with diamonds around the waist region and a crown on her head. A baby boy was draped over her arms, dressed in white and sleeping peacefully. A soft knock on the door and it was opened.“Are you ready?” Dante asked, leaning to kiss Freya. He was dressed in black trousers, a white shirt with black cloaks and a crown. His had more pearls in red than that of Freya.Looking at them, the baby in Freya's arms looked like a replica of Dante except for his eyes. They screamed that of Freya. He was so beautiful and innocent.“Yes, I am, Daddy,” Freya added with a chuckle.“Keep doing that, and we won't make it to our own Coronation, Luna. Don't be naughty. Our son is here.”These past months have been filled with peace, love, and growth for Freya and Dante. Ariel and her dad had been imprisoned along with the followers of Ares who survived. The Blood Moon pack had also merged into one, with Dante ruling. All the supporters who fought besid
Twisted Mates. THE REBIRTH OF AN ALPHA AND HIS LUNA
Freya and Dante lay dead as Dante's men arrived. Theo was growling with anger. The survivors looked as good as dead. Injured in all parts of their bodies, they were bleeding. Hope was lost.“We have to take them back to the pack house. We can't leave our Alpha here like a common rogue. Now that Ares has killed him, Ares would be regrouping to attack the GrandAlpha and our side of the pack. He would completely want to take control of the Blood Moon pack,” Oswald said.Wyatt, with tears streaming down his eyes, reached for Dante in a bid to pay his respect. Seeing how Dante and Freya's blood has gathered in a pool, he wept harder. It was like a trail of wine which found its fountain and then formed a circle, except it was their blood.“I hope we win this war and your sacrifices are not in vain,” he whispered.Standing to return to the others, something happened.The moon, which was only, but a hint, came to be full, shining lavishly at where the blood had gathered. The whooshed and calm
Twisted Mates. STABBED TWICE
Dante examined Freya's neck and saw that the rope didn't do much damage. He scooped her up and tried carrying her back to the car but was intercepted by Ares who he hadn't noticed his presence.He slashed Dante's knees with his claws. “Leaving the party already?” he queried.Groaning as he held firmly onto Freya, careful not to drop her. “I would love to stay, but my Mate is unwell. A bastard messed with her.”Again Ares advanced towards him, but Dante was rapid to move out of the but he got pricked with a syringe instead. Dante turned to see the source of his pain, and there stood Bryant Bryce, the Alpha of Dark Pack. From the dizziness Dante was fighting, he had injected him with silver mixed with wolfsbane.Dante began to cough. “I knew you were too much of a pussy to be working alone. I never knew that you would join with the weak ones just to take what's not yours. Bryant, you took your opportunity well.” “Let's say that I seize power when the time is right,” Ares said.Freya wa
Twisted Mates. DON'T TOUCH HIS MATE
After the attack, Dante declared a few days to serve as a recuperating time for his people. The dead were buried with their loved ones in constant mourning, and the injured were treated. Most of the guests who were from the other packs had their people money their bodies back to their packs.He was fuming that one had dared step on his authority. Now was the time to unite his entire pack. Dante tried to reach his second in command but to no avail. Instead, a member of his old pack had found him, saying, “Ares has gone mad.”His suspicions had to be confirmed. After he vacated the throne to find Freya, he suffered a series of attacks. No one knew about his absence except Area. It only pointed out that Ares had been behind it all along and now, he had united with his enemies to bring Dante down. An unforgivable sin.Dante was growing frustrated at the slow pace of things. With no choice, he put his trust in Wyatt and the web thing Freya had created. Every second seemed to drag longer as
Twisted Mates. THE GALLOW
Freya had only managed to lay on her bed when Ariel's condescending laughter woke her up. “What now?” she mumbled to herself.“Guess who's in luck?” Ariel questioned.“You?”“Oh, dear,” she croaked. Ariel snapped her fingers and Freya's cell was opened. “Alpha Ares wants the execution now. I guess he got tired of your presence,” she happily announced.Hearing that, Freya's heart sank. She was getting killed sooner than she had expected. Before she could utter a word, strong arms gripped her, dragging her unwilling body out. “Ariel, if I get the chance to survive this, I promise you, your head will be on a stick. I don't care if your father put you up to this or if you willingly decided to,” she ranted, bashing the men holding her.“Oh, well. Empty threats. A dead girl can't come back for revenge.”Freya had been dragged to the eager crowd outside. They were roaring and enjoying their merriment. A burning fire had also been lit in the middle, exposing the gallow by the side.“Tonight,
Twisted Mates. THE WITCH
“That’s no way to treat our guest. Remove her chain,” Ares ordered as soon as Freya got in.The guard did as he was told. When her hands were free, she rubbed her wrist and groaned in pain. The guard bowed and left.“Don’t just stand there. Help yourself,” Ares ordered Freya.She didn’t have to be asked twice as she grabbed a cup of water, downing it with greed before moving to dish a plate of everything on the table. Forgetting her manners, Freya ate hungrily, filling the yearning with emptiness in her body.Ares chuckled and watched her in amusement. “Go ahead, have some more. You’ll need all your strength for what’s to come.”When Freya could eat no more, she collapsed on her chair, patting her belly. “Can we now get to the reason you summoned me?” she began. “I know it’s not to feed and take care of Dante’s property. You couldn't care less.”Ares nodded to Freya and pulled out his chair, standing and walking over to Freya. When he sat on the top of her table, hanging one leg out, F
Twisted Mates. THE COUNCIL
Furniture was broken, tables overturned with food spilled all over the floor. The floor was decorated with blood, splashed across the earth. People were laying in heaps on the floor. Dante saw Maya’s body lying protectively near Jodie’s, and he howled again. He was stable as Oswald had taken out most of the arrows, cutting him to aid the poison in his system flow out. He was stable, and he decided to stumble around through the place, kneeling to them, “check around and see if we have survivors,” he ordered.Just as he wanted to stand, he reached for Maya and felt her skin. She was still alive, and her eyes flew open in shock. He moved Maya to feel Jodie, and she was alive too and well. They were just using their survival mode since they were overpowered.“Thank goodness,” he breathed. Helping them up, he led them away from the dead bodies and settled them on a chair.Standing up, he surveyed the rest of the place, taking in the damages. With the help of Oswald who looked too okay as
Twisted Mates. TAKEN
Dante was grunting in pain as the entire place was filled with wolfs-bane, weakening him. Ariel reached for the unconscious Freya and carelessly dragged her body through the rough ground. Dante stretched his hands in a bid to hold back Freya but was stabbed by Nefline with an arrow laced with sliver, making him screech in pain.“You should have had that sex with me. Maybe I wouldn’t have turned bitter,” she whispered into his ear, licking him.Dante fell unconscious as he watched the entire place littered with bodies. His sight blurred out as he saw Nefline slit one of his enforcer’s throats. It took four hours for Dante to regain conscientiousness. When he did, he transformed into his wolf, howling as loud as he could. Thereafter, he fell to the floor, weakened by both the poison in his system and the rush of anger consuming every nerve in his system.* * *It has been six hours since Freya has been made to walk. Neither food nor water has been given to her. Her feet were bruised be
