Chapter: Alpha's Claim in the Moonlit Forest PART 6Chapter 6: The Chase IgnitesThe moon hung fat and silver over the forest, its light slicing through the trees like a blade. The pack gathered at the den's edge, bodies shifting in the shadows, fur rippling over skin as they changed. Howls ripped through the night, deep and wild, sending chills down my spine. I stood there, heart pounding, the air thick with the scent of pine and earth, mixed with the raw musk of arousal from everyone around me. The den's stone walls faded behind us, but their weight lingered in my mind—like a home I was starting to claim, even if it scared me. Thorne's hand gripped my waist, steady and hot, pulling me close. His eyes burned into mine, fierce with possession, but underneath, worry flickered. He didn't want to let me go, not with Jax's threats hanging like smoke.'Lena,' he murmured, voice rough like gravel, leaning in so his breath warmed my neck. 'This hunt... it's ritual, but tonight it's more. Stay sharp. Run to me.' His words wrapped around me, ma

Chapter: Alpha's Claim in the Moonlit Forest PART 5Chapter 5: Shadows of Desire The den hummed with uneasy quiet after the raid, like a beast licking its wounds. Bloodstains darkened the dirt floor, and the air hung heavy with the sharp tang of iron and herbs from hasty cleanups. Torches flickered low, casting long shadows that made every corner feel like it hid a threat. I huddled in the alcove on a pile of furs, my arm throbbing faintly where Thorne had healed me, but the real ache was deeper—twisting in my gut from those venom-fueled visions. Me, daughter of a rival alpha? It didn't fit, yet it clawed at me, making the stone walls press in like they knew my secrets. The pack moved around me with guarded steps, their glances mixing pity and suspicion. I wasn't one of them, not fully, and now this heritage hung over me like a storm cloud, tying me to enemies I never asked for. Thorne stood in the center of the hall, his broad shoulders tense under the fur cloak, face carved from stone. Warriors flanked him, their eyes hard. Ronan k

Chapter: Alpha's Claim in the Moonlit Forest PART 4Betrayal's BiteThe hall exploded into madness the second Thorne's warning hit the air. Shouts ripped through the stone chamber, bodies surging like a storm. I pressed my back against the rough wall, the cool rock biting into my shirt, grounding me as fear clawed up my throat. The fire pit's flames leaped higher, casting wild shadows that danced like demons on the faces around me. Outside, the full moon hung fat and merciless, its light spilling through the entrance like an invitation to hell. Howls mixed with snarls, the pack shifting fast—fur sprouting, claws extending, eyes glowing in the torchlight. This den, once a hidden haven, now felt like a trap closing in, every echo amplifying the terror pounding in my chest.Thorne was a blur of fury at the front, his roar shaking the ground. 'To arms! Protect the heart!' He lunged at the first scout bursting through the tunnel, a wiry wolf with Jax's mark on his arm. Thorne's claws slashed deep, tearing flesh from the intruder's shoulder,

Chapter: Alpha's Claim in the Moonlit Forest PART 3Whispers of the Hunt The communal hall felt like the heart of the earth itself, carved deep into the hillside with walls of rough stone that still held the chill of the night outside. Torches flickered in iron sconces, casting dancing shadows that made the faces around me look wilder, more animal than human. The air was thick with the scent of pine smoke, sweat, and something earthier— the pack's raw energy humming like a live wire. I sat on a low bench near the fire pit, my body still buzzing from Thorne's carry through the woods, his warmth lingering on my skin like a brand. Every eye in the room turned my way, a mix of curiosity and suspicion that made my stomach twist. These people— these wolves— weren't just strangers; they were a family bound by blood and moon, and I was the outsider crashing their world. Thorne stood at the center, his broad shoulders squared, scars catching the firelight like silver threads on his chest. He hadn't bothered with clothes beyond a loose pair of

Chapter: Alpha's Claim in the Moonlit Forest PART 2Chapter 2: Awakening in the Den My eyes fluttered open to a world that felt wrong, like I'd stumbled into a dream I couldn't wake from. The air was thick and earthy, smelling of damp stone and smoke from flickering torches. I was lying on a rough bed of furs, my body aching from the chase through the woods. Every muscle screamed, but it was the heat inside me that scared me most—a slow burn starting low in my belly, spreading like wildfire. What the hell had happened? One minute I was hiking alone, trying to outrun my shitty city job and the emptiness it left, the next I was running from... wolves? No, not wolves. Men who turned into wolves. And that guy—Thorne—he'd saved me, but his eyes, those piercing gold ones, haunted me even now. I sat up too fast, my head spinning. The cave walls closed in around me, rough-hewn rock glistening with moisture, like the forest had burrowed underground. Torches sputtered in iron brackets, casting long shadows that danced like ghosts. Voices murmu

Chapter: STORY 19: Alpha's Claim in the Moonlit Forest PART 1The Intruder's Scent The fog wrapped around me like a cold blanket, thick and heavy, turning the forest into a maze of shadows. I'd come out here to escape—escape the endless grind of my city job, the tiny apartment that felt like a cage, the nagging feeling that life was slipping away without me grabbing hold. Hiking always cleared my head, but tonight, under the bloated full moon, everything felt off. The trees loomed taller, their branches clawing at the sky, and the air hummed with something I couldn't name. My backpack felt heavier with every step, my sneakers sinking into the damp earth. I should've turned back hours ago, but stubbornness kept me pushing forward. Now, lost and alone, regret twisted in my gut. A twig snapped behind me, sharp in the silence. I froze, heart jumping. 'Hello?' My voice came out small, swallowed by the mist. No answer, just the rustle of leaves. I quickened my pace, pulse racing, glancing over my shoulder. Eyes glinted in the dark—yellow, glowing li

Chapter: 83. Romantic Kiss Under the SnowMy heart was already exhausted from the ridiculous jogging torture Lysander had forced me through earlier, yet somehow it began beating even faster. I didn’t even understand how that was possible. It was as if the poor thing had decided to abandon all logic and simply sprint toward its own destruction. Before I even realized what he was doing, Lysander suddenly moved. One second I was standing there, still catching my breath from running, and the next I felt a sudden sting at my wrist as his hand caught it. Everything happened far too quickly. His shadow fell over me. His other hand rose to my face. Then his lips were on mine. Warm. Firm. Brief. So brief that by the time my brain understood what had happened, it was already over. The kiss lasted barely a moment but it was enough for my head to be filled with torrents of memories rushing back in. The way I’d felt that night. My hot flushed body. Gosh, Zerina. Get a hold of yourself. These memories left my entire world spinning.M

Chapter: 82. Exercising?Zerina’s Point Of View When I woke up, the sky outside was still dim and grey. For a moment I simply blinked up at the ceiling, trying to understand where I was and why my body felt so warm and comfortable. Then my memory slowly returned. Right… I had been reading while waiting for Lysander. My eyes widened. Wait. WAIT. “Oh my God…” I gasped and shot upright in bed. “Did I seriously fall asleep?!” Panic flooded my system instantly. I whipped my head around the room, searching for any sign of him. There was nothing. No tall, dark, terrifyingly handsome man leaning against the wall. No dangerous presence sitting by the bed. He wasn’t here. “Was he downstairs the whole time?” I muttered nervously. Or had he come in… seen me sleeping… and just left? My stomach twisted. What time was it?! I scrambled across the bed, nearly face-planting on the mattress as I grabbed my phone from the bedside table. The moment I saw the time, my eyes almost popped out of my head. Morning. I

Chapter: 81. An Unripe Little FruitAuthor’s Point of ViewZero a did not quite know what emotion she was supposed to feel after hearing his explanation. “A-an unripe fruit? Excuse me? Who does he think he—” “Shh… Go upstairs now.”The warmth that had briefly shimmered in his gaze faded, replaced by a cold, shadowed chill that settled over him like dusk swallowing light. Zerina understood in that instant that she should not push him any further. Still, she could not help the agitation rising within her. Being likened to a fruit was one thing—but an unripe fruit? That comparison bruised her pride. She puffed out her cheeks in protest and lifted her foot as if to stomp, but before doing so, she shot him a glare meant to convey her displeasure at being compared to an inanimate object. Fortunately for her, she was already halfway up the stairs—yes, she deliberately chose the staircase instead of the elevator mostly because she didn’t want to be reminded of her trauma and also, so she could imagine stepping on his fa

Chapter: 79. Little FruitLysander set Zerina down gently at the foot of the ladder. He turned toward her afterward and said, “I’ll climb down first. Make sure you grip the ladder properly so the wind doesn’t sweep you away again.” His voice almost carried a trace of concern, yet a sly, dangerous smile curved his lips as he spoke those words. He descended swiftly, and the instant his shoes touched the solid ground below, he tilted his head upward and gestured for her to come down. Zerina swallowed nervously. It had been simple when she climbed up earlier, but now that she was looking down from that height, fear crept into her chest. Fortunately, seeing Lysander waiting beneath her steadied her racing heart. She placed her foot on the first rung, and Lysander immediately noticed the faint tremor in her legs. His posture stiffened as he became alert. This girl was truly unbelievable. How could she speak so boldly and act so fearless, yet tremble over something like this? As Zerina carefully made her way d

Chapter: 79. Naughty Things?Author’s Point Of ViewZerina stared at him as though he had suddenly sprouted another head. “Do something thrilling? What could possibly be more thrilling than watching the sky from up here?” she asked, honestly bewildered. To her, this was already more than enough. She couldn’t imagine anything surpassing this moment—climbing onto the rooftop, resting in her boyfriend’s arms, and admiring the soft, fading colors of the evening sky as they slowly dissolved into grey. It felt like a dream fulfilled, the very peak of romance. Yet a doubt crept in. Perhaps for someone like him—someone who had traveled far, who had seen the world in ways she hadn’t—this might not be extraordinary at all. Lysander’s smirk deepened, sharpening at the edges, and something wicked flickered in his eyes. Without warning, he pushed himself up and twisted his body, shifting so that in the next instant he was half draped over her. His gaze gleamed with dark amusement as he looked down at her, trapping her b

Chapter: 78. This Foolish Little WifeAuthor’s Point Of View Lysander stood there in complete silence, staring at Zerina as though she had just spoken in a language he did not understand. For a long moment, he truly did not move. He had implied enough. Any other woman would have caught on immediately. Any other woman would have smirked, teased, pushed the tension further. But not Zerina. This little wife had simply declared that she would “work hard” without even knowing what he meant. This foolish little wife… A muscle ticked in his jaw. She had already forgotten the very first warning he had ever given her — to think before she spoke. To understand the weight of her own words. Yet here she was, offering herself into an agreement she barely comprehended. And the worst part? She looked so serious about it. He exhaled slowly through his nose. He only hoped she would not back out of their arrangement later. Because if she did… if she tried to run from something she had willingly stepped into… His gaze d

Chapter: What Is This Arrogant Jerk Up To?Seraphina forces herself to listen attentively to her new boss as he continues the meeting going on and on listing expectations, rules, and everything he will not tolerate in his company. By the time he is done, sure, he'd instilled fear, respect and stiff obedience in everyone. Well, Seraphina excluded. She will never fear him. And respect? That's pushing it. He makes it clear that incompetence will not be tolerated, no matter who the person is. That he will fire anyone without hesitation. His gaze suddenly snaps sharply to her. "My office now!" He ordered, walking out of the conference room without sparing her another glance. Seraphina blinks, stunned, before glancing around the room. The other employees stare at her with pity, as if she's being marched toward an execution. She turns to Amara only her stare isn't that of pity but that of determination. What a jerk, Amara's eyes read. Seraphina had the greatest urge to smirk. At least she isn't the only one that shares that t

Chapter: PLAYING HER ROLE"I didn't.." Seraphina is about to say something but Andrew beats her to it. He drops forcefully to his knees so hard it makes a dull thud against the polished floor. His eyes get wet instantly. "Sir, it wasn't like that. I .. I..." "Get him out of here!" Kael booms. "He's a disgusting sight." Seraphina blinks, stunned at the turn of events. For a heartbeat, she's certain she's the one about to be fired. Her heart sinks straight into her stomach. She almost smirks at Andrew's pathetic display but quickly replaces it with a trembling, innocent look instead. "Take him out!" Kael said coldly, not even glancing at Andrew again. "No, sir. Please, Mr. CEO!" Andrew wails as guards grab him. "How will I pay my bills now? How will I.. I'm so sorry. I have children to feed! School fees! Feeding money! Please!" The guards were starting to drag him away, his shoes squeaking against the floor. And for reasons Seraphina doesn't want to admit—even to herself, her heart tightens. She fee

Chapter: YOU'RE FIRED!! Seraphina sighs, feeling exhausted after the meeting at the hall. She drops into the chair in her office, ready to melt into it. Her bones hurt, her brain is fried, and her face still twitches from the stress of that meeting at the hall. And then... the landline rings. "For crying out loud, can't I get even a minute's rest?" She grabs the receiver anyway. "Yes, Seraphina speaking." "Miss Seraphina," Mr. David's voice says, sounding unusually frantic. "I have just been informed that the CEO wants to meet every newly recruited employee in the conference room personally." Of course, he does. What a pain in the actual ass. What did he just do in the hall then? Stretch his legs? Admire the ceiling? Practice his brooding? A hundred questions rolls in her head and she wanted to ask them all, instead all she says is, "Okay, Mr. David, I will be there in a jiffy, sir." Well, that's new. She has done a tangible amount of research on this company and she knows for a fact that the CEO d

You're expected to follow him everywhere without his knowledge.. and inform me on everything."His tone is firm, steady, leaving no room for questions. But of course.. Lucien opens his mouth. The gamma's face scrunches up dramatically as he leans forward. "Why does Roran get the cool role while I'm stuck being thought of as a man whore?" Roran sighs quietly. Florence bites her lips, trying not to laugh. And kael.. Kael simply ignores Lucien like he's swatting away an annoying insect. Lucien huffs loudly but Kael moves on without blinking. He breaks down the rest of the plan in detail. They were all seated, listening as the Supreme Alpha spoke. His golden eyes remain blank but under that cold exterior, his mind never stops weaving strategies. Once he finishes, everyone finally nods in agreement.Florence straightens up, folding her hands neatly on her lap.

Chapter: Assassinate?? Who?? Me?? Just as Kael was leaving the hall, his cell phone rings. It is Lucien. He picks the call up. "Lucien," he says. "I'm done here. If it's not urgent then we will talk there." "Ummm.. Kael, someone wants to meet you. She says she is from the Red Moon pack." Lucien says. Kael's steps halt mid-way and his bodyguard's too. "What is she doing here? " "Oh, you know her?" "Yes! " Kael answers, his voice clipped as he looks around with guarded eyes. "Well, she's not in the office. She is in a nearby café in a private booth alone. She said your number wasn't going through so she contacted me. " Kael nods. "Let her remain there and make sure no one.. I mean no one spotted her. You and Roran should be there too. " "Why..." Kael cuts the call when Lucien was still speaking. After about fifteen to twenty minutes, Kael arrives at the meeting place to see Roran and Lucien already there. Before coming here, Kael got rid of the bodyguards that were behind him, telling them not

Chapter: I'm so screwedThankfully, Seraphina entered into DarkSlade's Enterprise and the CEO wasn't in his office. The man she spilled coffee on plus the receptionist she met at the entrance of the company made her morning so frustrating and annoying. Before she got in, the receptionist eyed her dress, "None of your peasants boyfriend works here." Boyfriend? Peasants? Seraphina rolled her eyes. Of course, she is mocking her dress. She narrowed her eyes "My name is Seraphina Lightwood. I'm the current secretary to the CEO." She scoffed. "You can't be. Our company is professional and.. and we couldn't have hired someone like you." Seraphina wasn't in the mood for long talks and exchange of words. She brought out her work ID card and showed it to the receptionist rendering her speechless. Seraphina walked out of there. "What a bitch!" Arriving in her office, she glanced around. "Nice. Much more than I expected." She made herself comfortable on the chair.Before she could get too relaxed, the landline
