Chapter: 31 ****** TALON: “Where do you think you’re going?” Rax’s voice was closer now, laced with an edge that sent adrenaline coursing through my veins. Panic surged as I realized I was cornered, the forest looming ahead like a dark abyss. I darted forward, instincts kicking in as I sprinted toward the trees. I had to move fast; I couldn’t allow them to catch me. The sounds of their footsteps echoed behind me, and I pushed myself harder, branches clawing at my skin as I plunged deeper into the underbrush. My breath came in ragged gasps, urgency driving me forward. I needed to escape. I needed to find a way to feed before it was too late. The forest, with its tangled roots and whispering leaves, became my only ally at that moment—a sanctuary where I could steal away into the night. I ran, as fast as my remaining strength would allow, and I was sure I lost them because I didn't hear them anymore. With each step I took into the woods, the familiar scents of pine and earth env
Chapter: 32 ******* TALON: Before Rax could recover, I turned to face Lucian and Fen, who were momentarily stunned by my sudden attack. “You think you know me? You think you can just push me around?” I said, my voice steady and fierce. “I’m not afraid of you!” Lucian sneered, pulling himself into a fighting stance. “You think that was impressive? You’ll have to do better than that.” Adrenaline surged again, my instincts kicking in. I could feel the power of my heritage coursing through me—the strength, the speed. I had been holding back for too long, letting their taunts define me. I didn't want to cause any trouble or give Knight an excuse to report my unruly behavior to my uncle. Most importantly, I had to prioritize Altair's well-being above all else. Because of this, I endured countless taunts and beatings from older kids who resented having a vampire among them. It's astonishing how deeply werewolves detest vampires. There were many times I wanted to run away from this c
Chapter: 33 ****** TALON: The world around me was a blur of darkness and pain, remnants of consciousness slipping away like sand through my fingers. I couldn’t tell how long I had been out cold, nor could I recall the moments leading up to my fall. All that lingered was a profound emptiness, a void that consumed me. But then, slowly, the darkness began to recede. A warm light seeped into my awareness, illuminating the forest floor and filtering through the branches above. I blinked against the brightness, my body feeling heavy and unresponsive. It took a moment for my surroundings to come into focus, and when they finally did, my heart raced with terror. Sitting beside me was a young boy, his dark hair falling across his eyes as he tilted his head to the side, his gentle gaze carefully observing mine. The stranger had an air of calm about him, but it was the sight of the boy’s wrist pressed against my mouth that sent a jolt of panic through me. My body reacted instinctively
Chapter: 34 ******* VALE: I had watched helplessly as they beat him, their strength overwhelming. In that moment of despair, I could no longer bear it. My visit to the Goddess may not have granted me my deepest desire, but it had led me to Arion. Once in a while, Arion would allow me a visit to see my Virgil. Slowly, the years flew by. During the first blood moon, I didn’t see him; I had no idea how he was faring or what he was up to, but I took comfort in knowing he was safe within the camp. However, Arion eventually informed me of the constant difficulties he faced among the seniors, who refused to accept him as anything but a blood-sucking vampire. They would assault him at the slightest opportunity. Having worked alongside Arion for so long, I had shared my deepest despair with him. In turn, he revealed to me that it was he who had guided my Birth Omega to the cave where Talon lay, allowing Altair to awaken. After that, I pleaded for even fleeting moments to see my Virgil,
Chapter: 35 ******* VALE: I inhaled deeply, filling my senses with the sweet scent of moonflowers, each fragrant note wrapping around me like a comforting embrace. It reminded me of the beauty love could bring, a stark contrast to the fear threatening to consume me. I had already lost so much; the thought of losing Virgil again in this life was a weight I could not accept. If the price of my love was to risk my very essence, then so be it. I have done it once before, and I am willing to do it again, and again. My resolve hardened like steel, and I felt the fire of determination blaze within me. I would face the Goddess, even if it meant confronting an abyss of uncertainty. I would plead for the chance to walk among humans, to protect my mate, to be able to unite with my halve, and to fight against the darkness that threatened to tear us apart. In that moment of clarity, I realized that love was worth the risk, worth the gamble of losing myself to save the one who meant everything
Chapter: 36 ******** VALE: As I stepped into the embrace of the Spirit River, a shiver of recognition coursed through me. The air shimmered with a luminescent haze, and the water flowed like silver threads under the soft glow of the celestial light. It was a sight that always brought me solace, yet today, my heart felt heavy. The river whispered secrets of the cosmos, but all I could hear was the fading warmth from my earthly visit. The scent of wild jasmine mingled with the cool breeze, a comforting reminder of the world I had just left—a world where my mate, awaited me. I inhaled deeply, hoping to capture the essence of that fleeting time, but the memories were bittersweet, tangled with longing. As I waded deeper into the water, the gentle current lapped against my legs, but it did little to soothe the ache within. Arion stood at the river's edge, a silhouette against the glowing waters, his presence both commanding and comforting. His long hair floated like strands of twilig
Chapter: 37 ****** TALON: Time had a peculiar way of slipping past me, like water through my fingers. Days turned into weeks, and weeks blended into months as I settled into my new life at the camp. My mornings were filled with classes that expanded my knowledge, while my afternoons were consumed by combat training that pushed me to my limits. Each day presented a new challenge, and every lesson was a step toward becoming stronger and more skilled. I could feel myself improving rapidly—my body adapting to the rigorous training and my mind sharpening with every lesson learned. After feeding from Altair that day, I had walked around the camp with a weight of fear hanging on my shoulders, expecting to see my uncle charging behind me, ready to end my life. But as time passed, I neither heard nor saw anything, and slowly, I returned to my routine. I hadn't fed on rabbit blood since that day, and the transformation I experienced lingered, making my day-to-day life easier to manage. I
Chapter: 38 ******* TALON: I got to my feet and began to pace, the weight of my thoughts pressing heavily upon me. My friends watched me quietly, allowing me to process my agitation. “When I was about eight years old, I lost my mother, and then my uncle, Luna Dirk. He searched everywhere for me and eventually found me, bringing me back to the Pack. I lived with Luna Caleb and got along well with the peculiar sons, the children of Alpha Kurt, and the daughter of Omega Raphael. My childhood seemed fun at first until the day I bit into my uncle’s belly while he was pregnant with his son. I still don't understand why I did that; the question haunts me even now. After that incident, I lost my friends and the family who had taken me in. They all began to treat me differently, and I never saw my uncle again. “Eventually, I was locked away, confined within the four walls of my room. I was fed a small bottle that contained blood, which I later learned was my uncle’s. I was able to drink
Dear Readers,I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to reach out and share that I recently experienced a very severe asthma attack that required emergency care two days ago. Unfortunately, this has kept me from writing, and I sincerely apologize for the delay. Your understanding and support mean the world to me, and I promise to get back to my writing as soon as I’m able. Thank you for your patience and love during this time.Warmest regards, AlphaKelly
Chapter: 129 ****** THIRD PERSON: Sensing his friend’s distraction, Ryan instinctively knew how to pull Marcus back into the moment. He tapped Marcus's arm twice and made a playful knock-knock sound with his mouth, a familiar gesture that always managed to break through Marcus's introspection. “Hey, man! Mind if I join in?” Ryan asked, waiting for Marcus to turn his attention. “Sure, I’m just trying to unwind a bit,” Marcus replied, forcing a smile as their eyes met. It was puzzling how well Ryan could read his emotions; even Evelyn struggled to discern when he was locking himself away or merely pretending to be fine. “You okay? You seem a bit… off,” Ryan observed, shifting his tone to one of genuine concern. Marcus sighed, running a hand through his hair in frustration. “Yeah, I guess I’ve just been lost in thought. It’s been a whirlwind lately.” Ryan leaned in closer, his curiosity evident. “What’s really going on? You’ve seemed different since you reconnected wi
Chapter: 128 ****** THIRD PERSON: The drive to the familiar club felt unusually lengthy, but Marcus welcomed the extra time. It provided a much-needed escape from the relentless thoughts that had been plaguing him lately. Ryan was the perfect antidote to his worries; there was never a dull moment with that larger-than-life character. By the end of the night, Marcus knew he would be in a far better mood than when he started. As he navigated the streets, his mind drifted back to the darker days of his youth. There was a time when he believed he would face life alone, a thought that weighed heavily on him. That bleak outlook might have become his reality if it hadn't been for one bright light in his life—Evelyn. She was his neighbor in their impoverished community, yet her life was markedly different. Evelyn had a mother who genuinely cared for her, going to great lengths to ensure she received an education and the nurturing she deserved. In stark contrast, Marcus's own upbringing w
Chapter: 127 ****** TALON: The mansion was nothing short of magnificent, each room resembling an ancient museum rather than a typical living space. It was clear that the owner had traveled extensively, bringing back souvenirs from every corner of the globe. Each item bore a label indicating its origin and the date it was acquired, creating a fascinating tapestry of memories. I found myself captivated by these treasures. The art pieces adorning the walls looked like they could fetch a fortune, and some seemed far too exquisite for an ordinary person to possess; yet here they were, proudly displayed in every room. As I stepped into another room, I was enveloped in darkness, the lights off and the curtains drawn tightly. I fumbled for the light switch, and when I finally found it, my eyes were drawn to a large portrait of my mother. She wore a stunning red gown, her lips painted with her favorite shade of lipstick. The memory flooded back of her painting my lips one afternoon as I st
Chapter: 126 ***** THIRD PERSON: The luxury car glided through the bustling city, its gentle hum a stark contrast to the tempest of emotions swirling in the back seat. Liam sat in silence, his eyes trained on the fleeting scenery outside, while his thoughts wandered far beyond the steel and glass. Beside him, his twin sister Ella fidgeted with the hem of her dress, her gaze fixed on the passing buildings, seeking an escape from the weight of the moment. Her brother, Liam, occupied the space next to her, his attention focused on his hands, lost in contemplation. “Do you think he’ll be angry?” Ella’s voice barely pierced the quiet, a whisper laced with apprehension. She bit her lip, a clear indicator of her unease. Liam shifted, searching for the right words to offer comfort. “I don’t know,” he replied honestly, a frown etching itself on his face. The image of their grandfather’s stern expression loomed large in his mind. “He’s been looking forward to seeing us, especially si
Chapter. 125 ****** TALON: Jake turned back to me, a grin spreading across his face. “He’s fired, though, from the job I had just gotten him. Can you believe that? He suddenly disappeared in the middle of work without giving any reason! Now the boss is not only mad at me but also doubled my shifts. I worked two days straight because of him! I’m going to kill him!” I couldn’t help but laugh at Jake’s exaggerated frustration. “I promise you, he’s not the type to mess things up.” "Sounds like you’ve known him a while?” Jake said, his expression thoughtful as he leaned forward, genuinely curious. “I suppose you could say that,” I replied, a smile playing on my lips. Jake raised an eyebrow, skepticism mixed with amusement. “Well, as long as he’s not dragging you into anything dangerous, I guess it’s fine. Just don’t let him sweep you off your feet too fast; you don’t want to end up as one of those cautionary tales. I don't even know what I am talking about anymore.” I c
Chapter: 124 ****** TALON: A small smile played on my lips as I watched Vale breathe deeply, his chest rising and falling steadily. I lifted my arm, running my hand along the length of his muscled body. I wanted nothing more than to stay there forever, wrapped up in his embrace. “The moment I get the chance, I am going to fuck your brains out twice as hard as you've fucked me,” Vale muttered sleepily before he nuzzled his face in the crook of my neck, his lips grazing the sensitive skin of my throat, causing goose bumps to rise on my skin. “Well, you can always count on that,” I chuckled, planting a soft kiss on his chin. I rolled off him and turned back to face him. “Just stay right there; I’ll get the bath running for us.” As I started toward the bathroom, a flicker of light caught my eye—the screen of my phone flashing on the table. I quickly checked it to find a message from Evelyn, reminding me of the kids' upcoming visit to their grandfather, my supposed father. With a
Chapter: 123 ****** TALON: I pulled away from the kiss and pressed him down on the wood, then I moved lower until I was nestled between his parted thighs. The tip of my tongue traced a path along the ridge of his erection before I wrapped my lips around the head, sucking it gently, letting my teeth graze the crown. I felt him twitch underneath me, and his hands gripped the wooden edges desperately as he tried to ground himself. I loved how he let me control him, how he trusted me completely, and I took full advantage of the privilege. I could do whatever I wanted to him and he would never say no. His cock aching and twitching begged for my attention, and as I licked the shaft I gave it freely, allowing my tongue to swirl around it and tease it with the barest touch before I sucked hard, letting his hips lift off the wooden surface as his body jerked wildly under my ministrations. His cock pulsed and strained in my eager mouth, begging to be released and freed from its confineme
Chapter: 122 ****** TALON: I slowly woke up, my senses gradually absorbing the surroundings of the room I found myself in. The soothing scent of the pheromones in the air enveloped me, instilling a profound sense of calm as my gaze wandered around. A feeling of contentment washed over me; I was home. For me, home was wherever they were. Nestling deeper into the strong arm beneath me, I pressed a gentle kiss against Vale’s bicep, and I was met with a warm chuckle from behind. “Hey there, beautiful,” Vale greeted me, his voice low and tender, followed by a soft kiss on my neck. The warmth of the pheromones seemed to intensify, wrapping me in a cocoon of safety from any unseen threats. “Hey, Altair,” I replied, feeling a wave of affection swell within me. (“Did you sleep well, baby?”) he asked, his tone soft and caring. (“You were out for quite some time,”) I nodded, a smile gracing my lips as I kissed his arm again. My eyes roamed the room once more, landing on the familiar s
