Deranged Alpha and His Chosen Mate
Ophelia Silvercrown had one mission; escape the Midnight Hunters pack before her stepfather could sell her into marriage with Damian Crypthil—the deranged heir of the cursed Cryptid Pack.
But fate is cruel. The same wolf she ran from becomes the man she’s bound to in a contract marriage with. Trapped between returning to her abusive stepfather or staying with Damian, Ophelia chooses the devil she doesn’t know… and steps into the role of his chosen mate.
Damian Crypthil is haunted by blood and madness, forever branded deranged after the night he lost control. Determined to silence the whispers and prove himself worthy of being Alpha, he knows he needs a mate–what he doesn’t expect is her.
Now Ophelia is caught in a dangerous game of power struggles, betrayal, and a love she never saw coming. With a vengeful physician plotting in the shadows, her stepfather’s schemes tightening around her, and Damian’s jealous ex determined to destroy her, every path leads to destruction.
Will she be crushed by the forces against her—or will she rise as
the Alpha’s true mate?
Deranged Alpha and His Chosen Mate is a tale of survival and passion where love is the greatest risk of all.

Chapter: Comfort And WarmthOPHELIADamian is in bad shape–possibly the worst I’ve ever seen him so far.And his studio mirrors his internal crisis, with the paint brushes, colors and ripped canvasses all over the place. It’s like no one had bothered to clean for years and it sends a clear picture to me.That Damian is in need of a lot of healing. Starting from the beast that threatens to overtake him every single day.“W-What are you, Ophelia?” Damian asks in a haze after he has finally calmed down. “That night the maniacs attacked, in the medic room and now…this? Not even the double pills could calm me down but you did.” Swallowing hard, I settle next to him on the floor, not knowing what to say. I don’t have an answer to his question nor can I tell him about the journal when I don’t know who it belongs to yet and what story lies behind it.“I-I also don’t know what’s happening to me, Damian.” My voice wavers a bit but I speak with all sincerity. “But there’s one thing I’m sure of; that it’s a good thing.

Chapter: The Peace She BringsDAMIANThe room feels so small now–the paint studio–my place of solace. It is the only place I could come to think of being– not the office. Certainly the one place everyone else was banned from coming into. But right now, the reason why it stood out for me is unattainable. No solace, no peace, nothing but the abyss staring right back at me. My head bangs, ringing for every passing second. My beast roars in my head, my hand trembles, stained with blood that is partially mine, from all the fighting out there. My chest heaves, my breath in short gasps., my eyebrows furrowed with anger that threatens to overwhelm me. Every second I spend in the studio only aggravates me even further. And my wolf? It does not waste time in trying to take over. Capitalizing on my disgruntled form for its one agenda. ‘Weak… Weak! You cannot command respect, your words are flaunted. You are nothing.’It throws a snide remark that hits way too close to home. If I am really respected, then today…should

Chapter: Comforted By The WarlockOPHELIAWith tears streaking down my face, I run off from the medic room and to wherever my feet take me. I don’t know where I’m going but I ensure there is no one else to see my breakdown.Everyone saw it. They saw the mist.I don’t know why but this makes me apprehensive and…scared. Henrick called it a miracle and that alone increased my fears. And the look on Damian’s eyes was haunting as though he wasn’t sure who I am anymore. Heck, I’m not even certain I know myself anymore.What is wrong with me?Stopping before the double doors, I remember this place to be the indoor garden where I had breakfast with Damian for the first time. Stepping inside, I walk towards the empty bench, trying to calm my thoughts.The first time I was here, I was enchanted by the beauty of the flowers mixing with the blissful scent. But today, I wish the plants were large enough to conceal me for a while.I just want to disappear.Folding my legs, I rest my chin on my knees as I look down on my hands. The

Chapter: Bloodlust And Her MistDAMIANSeeing Ophelia pale and white sets me off. My jaw clenches,my whole body tensing up at the sight. It growls, closing in via a circular path. Not for once taking its gaze off her as she grips to the edges of the table for dear life. I could almost hear the heavy thumping of her chest.Her eyes connect with mine, her lips parting. Seeing me did not give her the respite it should— she’s scared shitless.And the distance between us… it’s not so much as one I could close in that amount of time. Time it could use to lunge at her and attack. Yet, I risked aggravating it by rushing now. Its ears perked up, giving away that acknowledgment that it was aware of my presence. At this point, I can hear my own heart thumping in my chest. I take a gentle step, while Ophelia’s eyes lock tightly on me. It is all I could do, to prevent an escalation— even though my body is poised to react instantly. Then it happens—the maniac swirls around, threateningly at me. In a flash, it reverses his l

Chapter: Attacked By A ManiacOPHELIATrying not to think too much about Henrick’s absence in the medic room, I continue to help the doctors and nurses as much as I can.But this time, I utilize my ability, tapping into my mind to unleash the white mist that offers a calming effect to the patients. It makes it much easier for the doctors to treat them and the ambiance is much more peaceful.I have gotten a grip on how to control the power but only to some extent. The mist that emits out of me is not as large and potent as the two earlier incidents so it doesn’t do as much as I want it to.The maniacs have calmed down a bit but I can’t tell if it’s because of me or something else. Either way, I don’t relent in trying to help out with the patients.But at the same time, I realise I don’t have much energy left myself. When I bend my head, I feel dizzy and the vision gets blurry often.I don’t know if it’s because my adrenaline has died down or because I was unable to eat breakfast. But I’ve gotten weaker and this aff

Chapter: A Maniac InsideDAMIANI don't know how long it takes but I do know I stood for a long time. Ever since the morning, since the beasts– the maniacs have breached, I have lost my concept of time. The sun is out there, scorchingly hot, adding to the discomfort as I feel all sweaty and hot. But beyond that, I have no means to tell what exactly is the time. Or how long it takes for Sir Wicker’s magic dome to finally connect with the ground. All I am aware of is that, just as Reagan says, the pressure finally eases. The Maniacs are dealt with. No stragglers so far, no more maniacs scaling the walls. Their roars thinned into scattered sounds, sounding farther and farther away. Calming silence settles in place, competing against the pounding of my heart against my chest. The magic dome still hums above us with magical twinkly energy. Every now and then, I can hear Sir Wicker raven, Dove, squawk into the air but I do not see it around. Which does make sense as for a spell of this scale, he may have need

Chapter: Epilogue: Happily Ever AfterEPILOGUE“What do you think?” Henry stared at her with anticipation in his eyes.Anaya took one last look at the mansion’s living room which was decorated in pieces of luxurious golden furniture imported from Asia. When Henry told her he had a gift for her, she wasn’t expecting him to have prepared a home for them to move into. This was one of the houses he inherited from his father. He had been furnishing it ever since she told him she was pregnant.The moment he parked his car in the driveway, she knew this was the home she had always dreamed of staying with her family. The neighbourhood was quiet and serene, she had her personal garden and the yard was big enough for the children to run around.She had to be careful not to scream too much so she wouldn’t startle the baby inside her bulging belly.“It’s the best gift I’ve ever received.” Anaya uttered, unable to stop herself from smiling. “I couldn’t ask for anything more.” A few months ago, she never thought she would live long en

Chapter: Cliffs And EdgesAnaya felt her heart leave her body when she saw Theresa standing close to the cliff with a sleeping Ryle on her arms. She wanted to reach out and grab her son away from the crazy woman but she remained rooted to the spot.Aggravating Theresa in such a vulnerable point wasn’t the best thing to do. A single movement and she would fall into the cliff with Ryle. That wasn’t something Anaya could risk.“Take one more step and I’ll drop dead with Ryle.” Theresa’s words were malicious, a deadly glint that Anaya had never seen shining in her eyes.“Theresa. Step away from the edge of the cliff.” Henry’s voice was calm but Anaya knew he was simmering inside.“No! I will not move from here until you promise to let Ryle go with me.” Theresa hissed.“Are you out of your mind? There is no way I am giving my son to you!” Henry snapped at her.“Please, don’t do this, Theresa.” Anaya pleaded, tears flowing down her face.“Why, Henry?” Theresa scoffed. “You seemed so fine moving on after Lauren’s dea

Chapter: A Chase Down The MountainsHenry called his mother as soon as he saw the text message his mother left for him. “Pick up.” He murmured under his breath as Anaya remained frozen next to him.He could already see tears streaming down her face and he knew her greatest fear had come to reality. Theresa had been after Ryle.“Henry!” His mother’s shrill voice came into the line. “God, where did you put your phone? We can’t find Ryle anywhere. That wretched girl took my grandson away!”“C-Calm down, Mother.” Henry said even though he wasn’t quite calm himself. He was livid, boiling with an explosive anger. “I need you to stay in the house in case Theresa comes back. She’s mentally unstable. She might not know what she’s doing.”“She knows!” Anaya snapped. “She knows very well what she’s doing. This has been her plan from the beginning, Henry. To take Ryle away from us. I knew it. I knew my fear was justified. God, we made a terrible mistake, Henry. We gave Ryle to her. We handed our Ryle over to her.” “Anaya, please–”

Chapter: A Musical DisasterAnaya took one last look at herself in the mirror to check out her fit for the night. Henry wanted them to wear matching outfits so she wore her pale blue palazzo trousers with a white off-shoulder blouse while he wore his white baggy pants and a light blue shirt.Her brown hair was curled and left to flow down her shoulders. To go with the look, she wore her white wedge sandals and carried her white midi hand bag. Her makeup was left minimal with just powder and shiny lip gloss.She was satisfied with her look but her anxiety about tonight was what sent her mood into a down spiral.Margeret said she was picking up an old friend from the airport and wouldn’t be able to make it until thirty minutes from the time she and Henry would be leaving. When Henry was getting dressed, Anaya sent a text to Margeret, pleading for her to do everything she could to get here on time. There was just something about leaving Ryle alone with Theresa that made Anaya’s stomach clench with worry.“Wowww.”

Chapter: Apologies And A GiftLaying motionlessly on the bed, Anaya stared at the streak of sunlight that seeped into the room through the blinds. Despite the fact that she tried to cover the window to avoid the brightness, that single ray of sunlight still managed to slip through.It annoyed her a lot. She couldn’t even lay in the dark in peace? Why did it have to be so damn persistent in getting into the room?She couldn’t remember when she stopped crying last night but by the time she tried to stand up to lie on the bed, she nearly tripped over and fell due to the dizziness that wrecked her entire body.Practically crawling, she made her way to the bed hoping to find some moments of rest but her mind deprived her of that. She spent the night rethinking, evaluating and replaying scenarios in her head.Right from the moment Henry brought Theresa to the house till last night where the inevitable conflict reached its climax. She tried to figure out if she had missed something. If she was wrong with her assumption t

Chapter: The Height of The Conflict“What the–” Anaya watched as Theresa stood up abruptly after being doused with the water. Henry got up as well as some droplets of water found their way on him.“Anaya?” Henry frowned with confusion on his face but Anaya’s anger wasn’t directed at him. Or maybe it was.She wasn’t sure what upsetted her the most. The fact that Theresa had the guts to scheme against her in her own house or the fact that Henry was too blinded because she was Lauren’s sister to see that Theresa was up to no good.Her blood was boiling and she so badly wanted to break something into pieces. Knowing she couldn’t result to violence, she raised her voice at the culprit.“What on earth are you doing sleeping on my husband’s shoulder?” Anaya gritted at Theresa who was wiping the water away from her face.“Anaya, I didn’t–”“Has this been your plan all along?” Anaya snapped, cutting her off. “To steal not only Ryle but to seduce my husband as well?”“N-No, you have it all wrong. I swear, we were just watching T
