Chapter: Chapter 260Rowan’s POVI didn’t back down. I didn’t lower my eyes. I stared directly at the King, my own aura flaring to match his.“I will get my mate back,” I growled. My voice was low and deadly calm now. “One way or another. With or without your permission.”The room went deathly silent. Shane, Marcus, and Derek all tensed behind me, clearly ready to move if things went badly.Silas’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “Are you threatening to defy my direct order?”“I’m stating a fact,” I replied coldly. “Iris is my mate. My responsibility. My everything. If you won’t help me get her back, then I’ll do it myself.”Silas bristled at my tone. His jaw clenched tight as anger flashed across his face.“Guards!” he called out sharply.Several palace guards immediately entered the study, their hands on their weapons.“If Alpha Rowan will not comply with my orders,” Silas commanded, his voice hard, “then he is to be detained until further notice. Lock him in the guest quarters under guard. He is not to leav

Chapter: Chapter 259Rowan’s POVI stepped back, staring at him. The scar was the clue.“Shane,” I said quietly. “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?”Shane clenched his jaw, nodding. “He was my number one suspect”I gritted my teeth. “This just confirms it. Alpha Maximus took Iris.”Of course. It made perfect sense. I wasn’t surprised. Maximus had more than enough motives.“He supposedly left yesterday,” Marcus pointed out. “Everyone saw him leave.”“Then everyone was fooled,” I said. “He never actually left. Or he came back somehow. Either way, he has Iris.”“We need proof,” Derek said. “We can’t accuse an Alpha of kidnapping without solid evidence.”“We have proof,” I said, pointing at the unconscious Cole. “He just gave us the clue we needed.”“A clue isn’t proof,” Marcus argued. “Maximus will deny everything. And he has witnesses who saw him leave.”“Then we make him admit it,” I growled. “We go to his territory. We tear it apart until we find her.”“That would be an act of war,” Derek said carefully

Chapter: Chapter 258Rowan’s POVThe guards dragged Cole down to the palace dungeons. I followed close behind with my hands clenched into fists. Shane, Marcus, and Derek came with me. King Silas had ordered a healer to wait outside in case things went too far.The dungeon was cold and wet. Water dripped from the walls. The smell of rot and blood filled the air. Perfect.They threw Cole into a cell and chained his wrists to hooks that were hanging from the ceiling. His arms were stretched above his head, and his feet were barely touching the ground.“Please,” Cole begged, his voice shaking. “I already told you everything I saw. I don’t know anything else.”“You’re lying,” I said, walking slowly toward him. “And I’m going to prove it.”I started simple. A punch to his stomach. It was not hard enough to break anything, but it was just enough to hurt.Cole gasped as the air was knocked out of his lungs.“Who took her?” I demanded.“I don’t know!” Cole wheezed. “I swear I don’t know!”My wolf growled in my hea

Chapter: Chapter 257Rowan's POV I reached the tunnel entrance and searched for the hidden trigger to open it from the outside. It took me a few minutes, but I finally found the switch and the wall opened up again.I climbed back into the tunnel and started running back toward the palace.“Hold on, Iris,” I muttered as I ran. “Just hold on a little longer. I’m coming for you. I swear I’m coming for you.”The tunnel seemed even longer on the way back. Every second felt like an eternity.But in reality, it took a much shorter time as this time, I didn’t hesitate. I followed my own scent straight back the way I had come.Finally, I reached the opening back into the palace restroom.I climbed up the ladder quickly and pulled myself through the trap door.Shane was still there, along with several of the King’s guards. They all turned toward me immediately when I emerged.“Alpha Rowan!” Shane said, rushing over. “Did you find anything?”“She was taken through the tunnels,” I said quickly. “They crossed a lake.

Chapter: Chapter 256Rowan’s POVMy elbow hit something as I pulled back from the wall, and suddenly I heard a soft click.The tiny hole of light expanded as the wall began to open up.I stepped through quickly before it could close again.Fresh air hit me immediately. I was outside now, standing in a dense forest. The moon provided enough light for me to see clearly.Behind me, the opening began to close quietly. Within seconds, the exit narrowed until it was completely invisible.I spun around, using all my enhanced senses to search for any sign of Iris or her kidnapper.But there was nothing.There was no scent. No footprints near the tunnel exit. No disturbed vegetation, nothing.It was like no one had passed through here at all.I ran a hand through my hair in frustration. What if I was wrong? What if this tunnel was just some random ancient passage that had nothing to do with Iris’s kidnapping? What if Cole’s story was actually true and I had wasted precious time chasing nothing?I gritted my teeth,

Chapter: Chapter 255Rowan’s POVI moved through the tunnel with speed. My enhanced vision made it easy for me to see in the darkness as I navigated the passageways. Every few minutes, I hit another dead end, forcing me to backtrack and try a different route.The frustration was eating me up. There was no scent to follow. Just stale air.Doubt crept into my mind. What if this was another trick? What if Cole had been right after all, and I was wasting precious time down here while Iris was being taken in the opposite direction?No. I shook my head violently, forcing the doubt away. My instincts had never been wrong in all my years as Alpha. Cole had been lying. His story hadn’t added up, his injuries looked staged, and he seemed shifty to me.Which meant I knew exactly who to interrogate next once I got back to the palace.Though doing that might be difficult. Cole was a member of the royal staff, trusted by the King. I couldn’t just accuse him without evidence. I needed to be smart about this.My mind rac

A Night With The Alpha King: Rejected And Reclaimed
“You shouldn’t be here, you're the Alpha King and Liam's uncle.” I managed to say, trying to resist his touch.
He chuckled deeply, “You forgot one more thing” he said simply, brushing his thumb over my lower lips.
“What is that?” I whispered almost inaudibly.
“I'm also your mate.” He murmured, leaning towards me.
“What do you want from me?” I asked, feeling so confused.
“Isn't it obvious?” He asked with a smirk, “I want you.”
.
.
Aria is heartbroken, when her fated mate, the Alpha's son, betrays and brutally rejects her.
Seeking for temporary comfort, she finds herself in the arms of a mysterious stranger who offers her the comfort she desperately craves that night, under the influence of a sexual stimulant and she flees the next morning.
To her shock, she discovers her passionate night was spent with her ex-mate's uncle, the Alpha King, Alpha Knox Blackwood, who is also her second chance mate.
Knox however is not willing to let her go. He has had a taste, and wants her for himself.
Knox offers her a second chance — an opportunity to leave her past as an omega behind, and she quickly accepts.
However, there are so many people not happy about this, and Knox has a dark secret. What happens when their dark pasts rise up to haunt them?

Chapter: Chapter 210Aria’s POVTWO MONTHS LATERThe Naming Rite ceremony for our daughter was today. The pack main hall was decorated with flowers and candles, while music played softly in the background.Our newborn daughter lay in my arms wearing a white ceremonial dress. She was sleeping peacefully. She had dark hair and gray eyes, just like Knox.I glanced around the crowd. I could see Viktor, Lilith, and their son. They had named him Kieran. He was tiny, swaddled in black and silver blanket.Lilith passed Kieran to Viktor. He stiffened, carrying the fragile child, looking both proud and terrified, which was actually funny to watch on a vampire lord’s face.Knox grumbled in my head through our mate bond. ‘I can’t believe we went to a vampire’s naming rite, and now they’re here for ours. This is insane.’We had marked each other last month, and the connection between us had grown stronger every day.I chuckled internally, replying through our bond. ‘Well, they did save our lives. So…’‘Whatever,’ he re

Chapter: Chapter 209Aria’s POVHazel unwrapped the bandages slowly, revealing burns and cuts that looked very painful. I placed my hands over the damaged skin and let my healing magic flow through her.The warmth spread from my hands into her wounds. The skin began to knit itself back together, the horrible red burns fading to pink, then to normal skin tone. Within minutes, her skin looked like nothing had ever happened.“Holy shit,” Hazel breathed, staring at her healed hands in amazement. “That’s fucking incredible.”“You’re a fucking miracle worker,” Hazel said, touching her face in wonder.I still had lots of energy when I was done. “I’m okay,” I told Knox before he could protest. “Let’s keep going.”Hunter was next. His shoulder wound was more serious. He had deep puncture marks that had gotten infected. I spent more time on him, carefully healing the infection first, then sealing the wounds. When I finished, he could move his arm without pain for the first time in days.“Thank you, Luna,” he said,

Chapter: Chapter 208Aria’s POVThere was silence for a while, then I sighed.“What happened?” I asked. “After I collapsed, I mean.”Mama Felz leaned back in her chair. “After you did your whole magical healing thing with Knox and passed out, the beast transformed back into Knox.”She paused, rubbing her temples. “It was like watching someone wake up from a fucking nightmare. One second he’s a raging monster, the next he’s just Knox, looking so fucking confused and covered in blood.”“And everyone else?”“Hazel’s in another room,” Mama Felz said. “She took the worst of the magical backlash when the ritual circle exploded. Burns on her hands and face, but she’ll heal. Witches heal faster than humans, thankfully.”“Hunter? Shawn?”“Both unconscious, but they’ll fucking live. That Beta of yours took a bite to the shoulder that needed serious stitching, and Shawn’s got a nasty concussion. But they’re alive.”I closed my eyes, relief washing over me.A nurse came in before I could ask more questions. She check

Chapter: Chapter 207Aria’s POVKnox and I broke apart. I turned to see Jade standing there, her arms crossed, looking at us with an amused expression.Knox immediately loosened his grip on me, stepping back slightly. His body tensed instantly, and his eyes darkened. “Who are you?” He growled.I gestured at her. “That’s Jade.”He lifted an eyebrow. “What are you doing here?”But Jade waved her hand dismissively. “Don’t worry, wolf king. I’m here on important business.”Then Knox was gone.One moment he was standing beside me, and the next, he simply vanished. I reached for him, but there was nothing. Just me and Jade in this strange realm.“What’s going on?” I asked, looking around desperately. “Where did Knox go?”Jade shrugged with an unreadable expression on her face. “Don’t know. This is your mind, not mine. He’s probably going back to his body. That’s what matters.”I turned to face her fully, and something in her eyes made my stomach drop. There was a weight in her expression.“Jade, what is it?” I

Chapter: Chapter 206Aria's POVHe ran straight at us with terrifying speed, his claws tearing up the ground with each step. The shadows around him writhed violently.Lilith’s grip on my wrist tightened painfully. “Aria—”Rhea's soft voice echoed in my head. ‘Mate.’Instantly, something strange washed over me. It was a calmness I couldn’t explain. Like my body knew something my mind didn’t understand yet.My feet moved before I could think.I stepped forward and walked straight through the barrier. To my surprise, I passed through it easily, like it wasn’t even there. The magic parted for me without resistance.“Aria!” Lilith screamed behind me. “What the hell are you doing?!”I didn’t answer. I just stood there in the open, facing the charging beast.The baby kicked hard inside me, like he was trying to tell me something.“We love you, Knox,” I said quietly, placing my hand on my belly.The beast was twenty feet away.Fifteen feet.Ten feet.Then, suddenly, he slowed down.His pace became uneven, like he

Chapter: Chapter 205Aria’s POVFour witches remained outside the circle, continuing their attack on Agnes, trying to keep her from interfering with the ritual.A witch with short white hair sent ice shards flying at Agnes. Another witch, a man with a scarred face, sent a blast of red energy. A third witch created a whirlwind that attacked her from all sides.Agnes’s body flickered violently. She was barely visible now, like a ghost. Her face was twisted in rage and desperation.“No... no, you can’t...” she gasped, her voice fading.The eight witches around the circle chanted louder, their voices rising together and their magic intensified. Their magic burned brighter and brighter until it was almost painful to look at.I could see Knox fighting from inside. His massive body shook violently, and muscles twitched under his dark fur. The red-black eyes flickered rapidly. Red. Gray. Red-black. Gray again. Red. Back to red-black.Both Knox and Fenrir were in there, fighting to break through the curse’s hold.
