100 Days, The Alphas' Mate
“I wholeheartedly accept to be your mate for 100 days.”
Those words were supposed to save Cedar Blake.
Instead, they dragged her into a nightmare far more dangerous than death.
After her parents were executed for treason, Cedar lost everything, her family, her status, and her freedom. Treated as nothing more than a servant in her own pack, she lives only for one purpose: to uncover the truth behind her parents’ deaths and fulfill the promise she made to her dying brother.
But fate has never been kind to her.
She can’t shift.
She’s hated by the twin Alphas of her pack.
And hidden inside her is a power powerful enough to destroy entire kingdoms.
When the ruthless Alpha Dominus Maruto offers her freedom in exchange for becoming his mate for just 100 days, Cedar accepts without hesitation.
What she doesn’t know, is that Dominus has been watching her for years.
Cold, manipulative, and dangerously ambitious, Dominus wants Cedar for one reason only, her hidden abilities. With his terrifying power to read minds, he plans to control her, use her, and claim the power sleeping inside her to bend the world to his will.
But Cedar’s life becomes even more complicated when Deklan Mario returns.
Framed for murder by his own uncle, Dominus, Deklan burns with revenge and hatred. He doesn’t believe in love, mate bonds, or mercy. Yet the closer he gets to Cedar, the harder it becomes to decide whether to protect her… or destroy her to ruin Dominus completely.
And then there are the Augustus twins.
Adonai and Adonis, two beautiful, cruel Alpha brothers who once made Cedar’s life a living hell because of her father’s past sins. Possessive, deadly, and obsessed, they believe Cedar belongs to them and no one else...

Chapter: 37| The One-eyed RavenCEDAR BLAKE “You can stop following me now,” I told the Guardians when we were out of earshot, still sauntering further into the woods. “I can protect myself.”“Sorry, but we can't,” Vanus replied, following closely behind me. “We take orders from our King. If you are who we suspect you to be, then it is our duty to protect you.”His words sent goosebumps to my body as chills that had nothing to do with the cold night air course through my body.“I don’t even know who I am!” I spun around to face them, sniffing back tears that stung the corners of my eyes. “I don’t know anything and I don't need anyone following me right now! Please!”The rain fell very lightly now and the storm was long gone, as if the heavens were done mocking me for all the years I've spent being who I am not. And deep inside, I knew that I had never been in control of my own life. Not once. And I probably won't in this lifetime because this was the beginning of my journey in the realm.Maybe who or what I am do

Chapter: 36| If There Was BetrayalDEKLAN MARIO “This was your big, mind-blowing plan?” I turned to look at Sammy with a tired sigh. She had gone on ranting about her big plan that'd gain Cedar's freedom, save the lives of the twin Alphas and stop the war between both packs. And for a while, I almost told her to shut up if she wouldn't be specific about it.Now we stood before a gigantic tree. Its trunk was so wide it could make the largest rock in history look small. The bark was rough and dark, stretching up higher than my eyes could follow. I couldn’t help but think that the tree would make a perfect shelter during a long winter, if someone was brave enough to fight off wild wolves.But what caught my eyes even more was what stood ten feet away from that tree. A dungeon. Its opening was sealed shut with iron bars.“It is, Deklan.” She finally responded to my question, scrunching up her face as if she didn't believe her own words. “Digging up some mysterious information hidden in a rat’s hole?” I asked again as we

Chapter: 35| The RevelationCEDAR BLAKE “I am the prophecy!” I howled as I started whispering incantations that sounded strange to my ears.Thunder clapped through the darkening sky and the heavens opened up as it started raining, as if telling all wolves to find shelter and stop fighting against each other. As if washing away the stench of the past, the past they sneaked into my head and made me believe, and left me bare and new like a newborn.“Yes… you're the prophecy.” I lifted my head slowly to look at the gleaming eyes of the luna. “Why did you show me this? Why now?” I asked, taking her outstretched hand and letting her pull me up.The rain plastered my clothes to my body, making my skin cold even though I felt warm inside. Ever since the day my father was executed, I have never felt whole, the fire had lived in me. I had watched as they chopped off his head and hung it on a spike above Crystal Moon's gates, a warning to everyone who'd dare rebel against the throne.Since then, the luna has never looked

Chapter: 34| TidesCEDAR BLAKE“The king is too kind,” Deklan said as Ursa led us toward an ancient gigantic gate.I had just learned the Guardians’ names after we explained we would be leaving with Sammy. They reluctantly agreed, though they made it clear they’d escort us out and back. The King had commanded them to protect us, especially me.I didn’t refuse the King’s kindness, though a lot of questions ran through my mind about the Guardians’ castle and wondering why the king that I've never met was being nice to me. But saving Crystal Moon came first. Maybe later, when everything was settled, I would have a real conversation with Deklan, if I still had the chance to be with him.“We have to leave now!” Sammy cried, almost breaking into a sob as we paused at the gate. “Dominus just gave Oakwood the order to attack Crystal Moon!”Baptista stepped forward, drew a circle before the massive rusty gate, and a glowing path opened. Before us stood the boundary of Crystal Moon and its neighboring packs.I ha

Chapter: 33| Against All OddsDOMINUS MARUTO If those shit-faced twins hadn’t interrupted the blood ritual, it would have been completed before Deklan stormed in to snatch Cedar. Their roar had triggered something in her, provoking her inner strength to slip free. That's why I made a last minute decision to accomplish my mission by another means.I don’t know if I can trust Sammy, not after her betrayal. I haven’t even earned the right to use her. Not that I’ve ever earned anything from anyone. Everything I take, I take because I can. If she paid me back in my own coin, I wouldn’t even be surprised.Still, she’s a mother hen. She’ll do anything to protect her chick. I don’t feel guilty pressing that button against her, forcing her hand, because I still need another way to draw Cedar out of whatever hole Deklan is hiding her in.And now it was time. Time to unleash my anger on Crystal Moon Pack, just as I’d planned from the very beginning. If I couldn’t possess power through the ritual, then I’d claim it by bloods

Chapter: 32| The Mind ReaderDEKLAN MARIOI almost kicked the wooden door down, but I forced myself to hold back as I shoved it open. It banged against the wall with a loud crash. I ground my teeth as I stormed inside, desperate to confirm what Jadrolita had told me.The woman had burst into the king’s training grounds, where he was busy showing off his archery skills, and told me someone, another me, had come to see Cedar the moment she woke up.Another Deklan Mario? My eyes darted to Cedar first. Relief washed over me to see that she was awake and safe, but then I saw him. My double. Standing beside her with his hand resting lightly on her waist as though he had the right.My face hardened. I clenched my fists so tightly my knuckles ached, probably turning white.“What is going on here?” Cedar’s confused gaze flicked between us.Of course she would doubt. How could she know which one of us was real? The one with his hand on her, or me…the one glaring from the doorway, furious and yet helpless to prove myself?

Chapter: Chapter 111WRITER'S POV"Kill her, Malone!" Ken shouted, his voice loud and cruel.Malone froze."No!" Hannah cried, shaking her head quickly as Malone lifted the gun toward Vera."He's trying to ruin you, Malone. Don't listen to him," she begged."You can't shoot our mother. You can't—""Don't you dare tell me what to do! Our mother? Please! Go wash your mouth!" Malone snapped, his voice shaking with anger.His shout shook the room, and Tim swallowed his words, fear written all over his face. Vera stood still, her heart racing. She knew Ken never played fair. They were trapped."Stop this madness, Prince Kenneth," she said firmly, her voice filled with pain. "Are you really going to turn your own son into a monster like you? Will you be proud of yourself after this?""Don't try your cheap tricks on me! Have you forgotten who I am? You think locking me up was that easy? I have people! I can always buy more! Justice doesn't exist! The whole system is a joke!" Ken yelled, stepping down the stairs

Chapter: Chapter 110VERA'S POVIt started raining hard that evening while we drove home. Jack and Nathan had gone to search for Malone, but they couldn’t find him, and it got too dark to keep waiting around in the graveyard. A police report had already been made in case things got worse. I didn’t know how to describe what I was feeling. The pain inside me was loud, so loud that even Hannah’s voice beside me sounded like extra noise in my already noisy head.From the moment she told us Malone was missing, I felt like throwing up. A sharp pain started in my lower stomach, and I curled up in the backseat, dropping my face to my knees. Hannah sat next to me, trying to comfort me without waking her sleeping baby. Timothy sat quietly on Jessica’s lap in the front seat, both of them watching me through the mirror with sad eyes.When Max pulled the car into the driveway, I had to blink many times just to see clearly and carefully get down. Hannah was now talking to someone on the phone, telling him I would be ok

Chapter: Chapter 109VERA'S POVIt was a cool evening when she was laid to rest. I stood quietly beside her grave, not really sure how I felt. She hadn’t been the best mother, but she still said "bless you" when someone sneezed. That had to mean something. Still, I never understood how she could watch me suffer at the hands of her boyfriend. It made me doubt if I was ever truly her daughter. But even with all that, I never wished death on her. Not this soon.We were slowly becoming friends, trying to fix things between us. She really cared about Jessica, even though she stayed distant. She hadn’t been sick, and she wasn't the type to take her own life. Yet, she died so quietly. According to Jessica, she lay down beside her one night and didn't wake up the next morning.Thanks to Jack, we had gotten the chance to make peace. But I thought she'd do more. Maybe say sorry. Maybe try to be a better mother. I thought she would at least try to be present, to make up for all the time lost. Instead, she chose eter

Chapter: Chapter 108WRITER'S POV"Stop right there, Malone! Don’t walk away from me when I’m still talking to you!" Vera’s voice rose, sharp and filled with anger. Her eyes were blazing as she stared at her son’s back.They had rushed to the police station after Jack told Vera and Maureen about what had happened to Malone. Seeing how panicked Vera was, Maureen had offered to come along for support. Jack had politely asked her to stay back so they wouldn't have to explain she was Monica's twin, not a ghost. She understood and wished them luck.They reached the station just in time, before Malone was sent to a cell. Jack took charge, speaking to the Police Chief and doing the paperwork with Harry, the young officer who had helped with Ken’s case and Vera's stalker. Eventually, they were allowed to take Malone home.On the drive back, Vera tried talking to Malone, but he said nothing. As soon as they got home and Jack pulled up, Malone jumped out and headed inside, ignoring his mother.Boiling with frustrat

Chapter: Chapter 107JACK’S POVI felt Vera shiver beside me, and when I turned to check her face, it was clear, she looked scared and confused. Slowly, I looked back at Maureen, who was now standing and blowing cigarette smoke into the air.“What are you talking about? I’ve always known Monica. I never even heard of you. I used to visit her dorm, and her roommate was a guy. A gay guy, to be exact,” I said, confused, my forehead wrinkled as I tried to remember everything clearly.“We met at our school parking lot,” Maureen started calmly. “You tried to park your white pickup truck and hit my black BMW. You kept apologizing and promised to fix it. But I was having a terrible day, so instead, I slashed your tires.”She turned around now, facing us while her back touched the window glass. A soft smile pulled at her lips.“And I told you, ‘Now we’re even, so no hard feelings.’ Then we both laughed like crazy. We had our cars towed to a nearby repair shop, and while waiting, we shared pizza and ice cream. That

It was popular with the locals, especially the rich and wild ones.But as soon as we walked in, my stomach twisted.A masked woman came right up to Jack and said his name like she knew him well. She even had the nerve to pull off her mask and show her pretty face. I hated how jealous I felt. It was like someone scraping sharp nails across my chest.When I first got to this town, people warned me about the clubs, the sex workers, and the high-end hotels, but nobody said these women were this bold. Or maybe I was just reading too much into it. Maybe I was just mad because she dared to act like she belonged in Jack’s world, like I wasn't standing right beside him."Jackson Taylor," she said, smiling like she was proud to know him. "I didn’t expect to see you here again."Jack didn’t smile back. "I’m here strictly for business. Excuse me."He gently brush

If I remember correctly, his name is Gerald.I study their bodies, wondering how they all became so strong. Joining the force is one thing, but I've known enough men in the force to know they don't all build bodies like these simply by training or going to war. “We'll explain how we got here later, but for now, you've got to convince the masters that Bambam was never a part of your life,” Gerald adds, bringing my attention back to the problem waiting for me.“I thought they already knew about…”“I gave them fake reports. So prepare a straight story that'll align with what I've reported, and then we're good,” Cristo says, cutting me off before I can finish.Even when we were locked up in a basement or packed into containers and transported to new locations, he'd always had the knack for acting like the head boy in an apprentice shop.

Every second that passes makes me more aware of how exposed she is now that she's away from me, and the helplessness of watching her leave without knowing whether she'll be safe eats at me in ways I can't explain. I keep staring at the road long after she's disappeared, as though looking hard enough might somehow bring her back into view.He's at large, just like he's been since I knew him, and that makes me wonder how fucked up the justice system really is. A man like him should have been behind bars a long time ago, yet here I am, having to worry about whether he'll come after the woman I love because the system that should protect us has failed to do its job just as always.The masters are like gods compared

Chapter: 105: The Master of TormentDAHLIA'S POVNo one needs to remind me of the situation at hand, but even in the middle of a crumbling world, I always seem to feel safe and glad as long as Wells is with me. Maybe I have not admitted this so openly before, but whenever I am in danger, worried sick, scared, or lonely, my heart always finds a way to feel a little less heavy whenever I am with him or even when I can feel his presence. There is something about him that makes the fear inside me lose its grip, even when everything around me is falling apart. It makes no sense, and maybe it never will, but right now, I don't care enough to question it. That's why I am able to laugh with him now, knowing that he's in so much pain, while I am drowning in my sorrow for my mother, who used her own body to shield me from getting killed. I should be lying there too, probably fighting for my life like her, instead of kneeling here with Wells, holding his face between my trembling hands and breathing in the dust that clouds the

My inner ears ring wildly, vibrating with a high-pitched whistling noise for a long, agonizing minute before the terrifying sounds of reality begin filtering back into the room.Heavy boots are pounding violently on the collapsed roof and cracked ground, men are shouting frantic orders through the noise, gunshots ring out from all directions.“Wells? Mom!” a panicked voice rises above the gunshots.It's Dahlia, so I force my eyes open, but I can't see anything clearly through the thick wall of dust for a painful moment.“Dahlia?” I try speaking again as my vision registers a silhouette standing upright, calmly lifting a black handgun.No!

No, the sickening knot tightening in my chest was born entirely from the sight of Dahlia, trembling and forced onto the jagged concrete barely five feet directly in front of me.Not able to help myself, I pull frantically against the heavy metal cuffs locking my arms, desperately wishing I had some sort of super powers so I can tear the man hurting her into unrecognizable shreds.A bitter, venomous self-hatred claw at my insides. I hate myself right now for pulling Dahlia out of her life with empty promises of safety with me, only for the two of us to end up cornered in this slaughterhouse.

My whole body feels as though it's floating in a pool of hot water that I don't know how to swim through.Strong, rough hands are carrying me down a dark hallway, the same hands that shoved me into the car that brought me here. I don't know when my blindfold was removed, but it still feels as though the black cloth is still wrapped tightly around my eyes.When we finally reach what seems to be the end of the hallway, a single LED light flickers on. One after another, the remaining lights come to life, illuminating the corridor. I don't need to be an expert to notice the surveillance cameras mounted at every corner, their tiny indicator lights blinking steadily.This place is heavily guarded and built for security.The realization strikes me almost immediately.

That one friend who has remained faithful and loyal to her since they were kids.Others had said she was like that because of the money and the fact that Sophia seemed like a canopy of protection to her, but Sophia knows that Molly wouldn't always get on her nerves by telling her what to do and what not to do even when she knows how much she hates to hear it if that was her reason.She knows that Molly values their friendship more than anything else, and she doesn't ever get offended no matter how she treats her, but hates her being rude to others much more than to her.Molly is the only person who her parents had approved of their friendship because her mother knows she's a good influence on her and she's as bright as her in terms of study and smartness.She never forgot this friend even when she was
