Blood of the Pack
Alice Ashford was born a hunter. Trained to kill the monsters that haunted the night, she wore her family’s legacy like armor, silver bullets, sharpened blades, and a name feared by every werewolf in West-bridge.
But one secret kiss with Liam, the golden boy of her school…and the son of the Crimson Moon Alpha, shatters everything. Because Liam isn’t just a wolf, he’s her blood and her forbidden half-brother.
And then there’s Kane. Silent, watchful, dangerous in ways Liam never was. A werewolf from a rival pack who should have been her enemy, but instead becomes her shield.
Torn between loyalty and desire, family and fate, Alice uncovers a truth more devastating than the lies she’s been fed: she isn’t human at all. She’s the bridge between worlds, hunter and wolf, hated by both, desired by many.
When war ignites between packs and hunters, Alice must choose where she stands… and who she’s willing to bleed for. Because in the end, love can save her, or destroy her.
And the monsters aren’t just in the woods.

Chapter: Chapter Six – Anchored by a FriendAlice barely remembered how she stumbled out of the woods, branches clawing at her arms, her lungs aching with every ragged breath. Her mind spun in fragments—eyes glowing in the dark, snarls that cut through the silence, Liam’s face shifting into something inhuman.Her Liam.The boy who smiled at her like she was the only girl in the room, who leaned too close when he teased her in class, who felt like a stolen secret she wanted to keep forever. But now he wasn’t just Liam anymore. He was one of them.Her knees nearly buckled by the time she reached her street, and she pressed her palm against a fencepost, grounding herself against the spinning world.“Alice?”Her name shot through the fog in her head. She jerked her eyes up, panic surging—only to find Mira standing beneath the flickering glow of a streetlamp. Her books were clutched to her chest, her hair pulled into a loose ponytail, and her brows pinched together in worry.“Oh my God—you’re pale. What happened?”Alice opened her m

Chapter: CHAPTER FIVE– INTO THE WOODSThe figures vanished into the night.One second, Liam and Kane, stood facing each other, their bodies stiff like they were ready to fight. The tension was so strong it felt like the air itself was pressing down. The next moment, their shapes slipped into the darkness, disappearing too quickly to be natural. Alice’s breath caught in her throat.Every hunter instinct she had screamed that something wasn’t right.Her heart pounded, but her legs were already moving before her mind told her to stop. She followed their trail into the shadows, the ground soft enough to dull her footsteps. This was exactly what she’d been trained for, moving quietly, tracking signs no one else would notice, chasing in the dark. If not for that training, she might have stayed frozen on the sidewalk, pretending nothing had happened. But she couldn’t ignore it. Her gut told her it mattered.The trail wasn’t obvious. Just a strange ripple in the air, a faint heat in the breeze. She followed it into the woods behi

Chapter: CHAPTER FOUR– SHADOWS BETWEEN THEMAlice woke up smiling.Which was insane, because she was not the “smile in the morning” type of girl. She was the “smash the alarm and beg the universe for five more minutes” type. Yet somehow, sunlight shined through her curtains, and all she could think about was the kiss with Liam.Her first kiss.And not just with anyone, with Liam Hart. The golden boy. The one everyone whispered about in the halls. And he’d kissed her like she was the only girl alive.Alice rolled over and buried her face in the pillow, groaning into the fabric like it might erase the memory.“Congrats, Alice,” she muttered. “You’ve officially broken every one of Dad’s rules in a single night. No boys, no distractions, no attachments. You are now a straight A student in failure.”Sarcasm helped. It always did. A cheap shield against the fear she felt inside her. Because her dad’s rules weren’t just rules, they were survival codes. Attachments made you weak. And weakness got you killed.Still, she brushed her fing

Chapter: CHAPTER THREE– THE DATEAlice stood in front of her mirror like it had officially declared her its worst enemy. Which honestly wasn’t a lie, mirrors always seemed out to get her. They pointed out every uneven strand of hair, the smeared eyeliner, and the weird smile that made her look like she’d just sniffed something rotten.But tonight? Tonight the mirror felt personal.Her bed looked very untidy. Piles of clothes everywhere, hoodies, jeans, random tops that all screamed “I tried out ten outfits and now i hate my life”She pulled on a dark blue shirt, checked the mirror, and groaned.“Nope. I look like I’m going to some family dinner, not a date.”She pulled it off and tossed it to the mountain of rejects.Next, a gray tee with ripped jeans. She tilted her head, frowned.“Perfect… if I wanted to look like an extra in a Netflix teen movie.”By outfit number six, sweat dropped down her forehead and her stomach buzzed like a bee hive. Her pulse pounded so hard it almost drowned out her thoughts. This wasn’t s

Chapter: CHAPTER TWO – THE GOLDEN BOY AND THE GHOSTThe day started out like any other, or at least that’s what Alice tried to tell herself.Westbridge High looked the same: kids shouting down the halls, lockers slamming shut, the faint smell of burnt coffee coming from the teacher’s lounge. Sunlight reflected on the tall windows, and dust floating gently in the air.But for Alice, the air felt… different.It pressured against her, quiet but not ignorable, as if something in the world had shifted since yesterday. And maybe it had. Because she knew Liam Hart had looked at her.She hated how much it stayed in her mind. He was supposed to be like everyone else, someone she could ignore, someone far from the life her father forced her to want. But Liam wasn’t like everyone else. He was the kind of boy people remembered and the kind of boy romance stories were written about.And judging by how her stomach knotted as she walked into the gym that morning, she wasn’t immune to him.PE was a mess. Balls bounced everywhere, sneakers screeched on

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE – CRIMSON BONDSAlice had always been good at pretending.She didn’t think of it as lying, it was more like survival. At Westbridge High, where everything seemed to revolve around who made the swim team, who was dating who, and which table you sat at during lunch, being “different” wasn’t just awkward, it was social suicide. And Alice Ashford? She was very different.So she played her part. She smiled when teachers made eye contact, laughed at the right moments, kept her grades up, and wore the mask of the quiet, slightly pretty new girl. Not invisible, new students never were, but not remarkable either. Just Alice. Dark hair, shy, uncertain on which crowd to join.No one knew that while other kids spent weekends attending parties, clubbing , shopping, or gossiping over sleepovers, Alice’s weekends were the opposite. She spent them polishing silver blades until they could reflect the light, practicing with a crossbow until her arms trembled, and memorizing drawings of beasts most people thought were
