Accidentally Claimed
Ruby Morgan was, in every way, an ordinary human. At twenty-six, she had never had a boyfriend, a date, or a first kiss. Throughout school, her crushes went unnoticed, perhaps due to her nerdy appearance or her tendency to blend in. She always chose studying over parties.
Despite being a grown woman, she remained a virgin and was still intensely curious about sex. By day, she was the head technician at a top digital company; by night, she ran a small diner. Her quiet life was about to change with a single dare from her friend Whitney, who finally managed to drag her to a party one evening.
Ethan Blackwood, a thirty-two-year-old Alpha, led the infamous Blood Moon Pack. He was a powerful figure in the werewolf world and a business magnate in the human realm, where he was seen as an unattainable aristocrat. To the world, he was a handsome, successful, and notorious bachelor, often at the center of a new scandal. He had been engaged three times, only to break it off each time, sometimes because the woman got too clingy, other times because he simply got bored and cheated. Women swarmed him, but Ethan had made a vow long ago: he would only settle with his fated mate.

Chapter: Good ByesThe infirmary doors burst open as Liam barreled through them, shouting for everyone to clear the way. He didn’t slow until Susan snapped at him to stop, to lower her carefully. Ruby barely registered any of it.The lights were too bright. The room smelled sharp and sterile and wrong. Too many hands touched her, none of them Ethan’s, and she cried out as another contraction tore through her, stronger than the last, crushing the air from her lungs.“Make...” Ruby sobbed, tears streaming freely now. “Make it stop, ple… please.”“I will,” Susan said, her voice firm but urgent now. “Look at me, Luna. Don’t think, just breathe okay. Try to relax.”But Ruby couldn’t. Her chest felt locked, as though something heavy sat on it. Every breath came short and panicked, her body convinced it was drowning.Whitney hovered near the doorway, pale and trembling, one hand pressed to her stomach as Vanessa held her upright. Jason stood rigid against the wall, his jaw clenched so hard it quivered. Beside

Chapter: I Can't BreatheThe next day passed in a blur of careful hands and watchful eyes. Whitney, Vanessa, and several of the female warriors barely left Ruby’s side, filling the air with chatter and gentle teasing, as if laughter itself might keep disaster at bay. When her legs felt too heavy to lift, they took turns massaging the ache from her calves, when she stood to use the bathroom, at least half of them rose with her, trailing behind like an overprotective honor guard.It should have annoyed her. On any other day, it would have. But today, Ruby let it happen.Ethan’s absence sat heavy in her chest, a quiet, constant throb, and she needed the distraction more than she needed her pride. Their voices kept her grounded. Their warmth kept her from counting the hours too closely.When night fell and her breathing began to falter, shallow, uneven, frightening, no one left. They crowded the sitting room with cushions and blankets, spoke softly over one another, told stories that made no sense and jokes that

Chapter: Two DaysRuby was now just a few weeks away from giving birth, and despite her strenuous protests, citing the need for minimal fuss and maximum quiet, a spectacular baby shower was organized for her. The Pack, starved for celebration and desperate to show their love for their Luna, went all out.The decorations exploded across the Pack House, transforming the main hall. Gentle hues of soft gold and warm cream cascaded everywhere, symbolizing the Luna’s new light. Dozens of delicate, intricately carved lanterns floated overhead, casting a cozy, ethereal glow.Whitney, taking full control of the event, organized everything with startling military precision. Armed with a clipboard and a terrifying dedication to theme consistency, she was barking orders at warriors twice her size, directing them on where to hang the bunting or arrange the towering centerpiece cake, and they obeyed without question. It was a beautiful, overwhelming display of collective Pack love and excitement.Vanessa handled t

Chapter: Setting Up NurseryEthan didn’t even slow down as he strode through the hallway, scenting the familiar mixture of packmates, anxious, excited, relieved, and overwhelmingly curious. Half the pack was clustered outside the infirmary wing, spilling into the corridor, craning necks and rising onto their toes as soon as they saw him.Conversations died instantly. Someone gasped. Whitney actually squeaked. Vanessa grabbed her arm before she could launch herself forward.Then Ethan walked straight past all of them. Without a glance, a nod, or even a grunt.He pushed into Ruby’s room, then shut the door with a decisive clang. A full heartbeat passed.Then his voice echoed through the mind link, deep, final, and carrying that unmistakable Alpha command.'You will each get your turn with the Luna, after me.'A collective groan went through the hallway.“That’s just unfair!” Whitney burst out the moment Charles translated for her, because as a human, her link wasn’t strong enough to always catch the Alpha’s full b

Chapter: Back From The BrinkJoshua stepped close, close enough that Ethan could smell the metallic tinge of blood on him.“Three things,” Joshua said, raising three fingers up.Ethan’s fists shook. “Name them.”“One," Joshua said, lifting a finger, “you owe me a favor. One day. At a time of my choosing. No arguments.”Ethan swallowed hard. “Fine.”“Two—Damian owes me a favor. Since he’s the one who called this in.”Ethan nearly choked. “…You will have to tell him that yourself but fine.”“Oh I would, and third,” Joshua said, eyes gleaming like a cat with a trapped mouse, “you stop running your mouth about vampires being soulless parasites. It hurts our feelings.”Ethan stared.Joshua winked. “I’m kidding. Mostly. The third term is this: A permanent, non-aggression pact between the Blood Moon Pack and my territory in the Western Canyons. No more patrols, no more territorial squabbles, ever."Ethan didn’t hesitate. “Done.”Joshua grinned, satisfied.“Good. Now that we’re all friends, come with me.”A pair of vamp

Chapter: DespairThe fight between the two Alphas and Silas dragged on far longer than it should have. Despite the combined force of Ethan’s lethal precision and Damian’s ruthless efficiency, the hybrid moved like a creature engineered to survive anything. Every strike landed, but nothing seemed to truly hurt him.Silas only grinned feral, taunting, and unstoppable.“I will find her, Blackwood,” he hissed, dodging Ethan’s claws with inhuman speed. “And when I do, you will never see her again.”The words hit Ethan harder than any blow. Rage pulsed through him, wild and blinding. His wolf slammed against the surface, snarling to be freed, to tear something apart before fear consumed them both.Damian shot Silas a murderous glare. “You talk too damn much.”But Silas wasn’t focused on Damian. His gaze flicked repeatedly toward the exit, toward the direction Ruby had been taken. The realization only sharpened Ethan’s fury.And then, as if the universe itself had been waiting for the right moment, something

Fated To Mate
Kael was raised on one unshakable belief: fated mates were a weakness. Stories of alphas losing their minds, their control, and eventually their lives over mates had been passed down like cautionary tales. His great-grandfather had been one of them, brought to ruin by the unbearable loss of his mate. Kael’s grandfather had made sure that never happened again, enforcing strict laws which prioritized strength over sentiment. The pack thrived under that discipline. No one bonded. No one lost themselves. Kael believed in those laws. He wanted to believe. But wanting and doing weren’t exactly the same thing. Now, standing face to face with his fated mate, he was at a crossroads. Accepting them could fracture everything he was taught to protect. Rejecting them might break something in him that he would never be able to fix. Either way, the consequences were inevitable and permanent.
Max never asked for much out of life. Just to finish her endless list of chores quickly so she could go to school, where the world felt wide and full of things to learn. Existing quietly had always been her way, keeping her head down, staying out of trouble, and doing her best to be invisible. But nothing about her life was simple.The most popular boy in school suddenly seemed interested in her for reasons she couldn’t understand. He was good looking, admired by all and magnetic, while she was awkward, quiet and unimportant. Soon, Max would find out that she wasn’t so small after all, and her life, every strange, shadowed part of it, was just one piece in a much bigger puzzle. And Kael? He wasn’t just the school’s golden boy. He was the beginning of everything.

Chapter: Her IdentitySimone Velariz stood motionless behind the counter long after the bell had stilled and the last echo of boots on gravel had faded into the night. He lifted the coffee cup with the slow reverence of someone who had learned to savor small, mortal things, because eternity had taught him how quickly even the bitterest tastes could vanish.The steam curled upward like a sigh. He let the heat linger on his tongue, rolling it across the roof of his mouth, drawing out the moment. Memories, he had discovered, tasted better when you gave them time to burn.He was Veilborn. Not wolf, not fae, not human but something older, something that had slipped between the cracks of creation when the world was still deciding what rules it would follow. Centuries ago he had walked out of the veil’s silvered halls, leaving behind the endless politics of beings who measured time in epochs rather than heartbeats. To his own kind he was a rogue, a defector who had chosen dust and diesel over starlight and silenc

Chapter: Path MagicThe man wiped his hands on the rag one last time and set it aside, then he turned from the counter and walked toward them.The diner seemed to quiet around him, not silence exactly, but a subtle pulling back, like the room itself knew better than to listen too closely. His steps were unhurried. Confident. He stopped at the edge of their booth and looked down at them, eyes lingering on Max just long enough to confirm something for himself.“You’ve got about three minutes,” he said calmly, voice low. “After that, the kid outside gets bored and decides making a point is worth the mess.”Kael’s muscles tensed. “We can handle—”“No,” the man cut in, not unkindly. “You can’t. Not here, not with her.”His gaze sharpened. Kael felt it then, pressure, not dominance like an alpha’s, but weight. Old and precise.“There’s a back exit,” the man went on. “Leads to an alley, then a service road. No eyes, no pack. You’ll be gone before they realize you didn’t leave through the front.”Kael’s relief w

Chapter: Danger Without NoiseThe train hissed to a stop at last, metal screaming softly as it settled into the platform. After endless hours packed into the carriage, Kael guided Max out with a protective hand at her back, his eyes already scanning the unfamiliar station. The town was wrong in the way only new places were, too open, too quiet, and carrying scents he didn’t recognize. Kael didn’t like it but he doesn't resent it either. It would take a few more days to find them now.He led Max straight to the small, fluorescent-lit restroom block at the edge of the station. The door creaked when he pushed it open for her.“Change here,” he murmured, his voice tight as he unzipped the backpack. He handed her a bundle of clothes they’d picked up, clean denim and a thick oversized hoodie. “Everything. New clothes. New scent layer. Leave the old ones in the trash bin inside, deep, under the paper towels. We need to bury the smell of the train and our scents.”Maxine took the bundle, her fingers brushing his. She loo

Chapter: The HuntGinny’s fury rolled through the empty house like choking smoke. She stopped just inside the doorway, taking in the chaos with widening, disbelieving eyes. They had assumed Max had failed to call, because she was still buried under chores, too slow, and too overwhelmed to keep up.But this? This wasn’t forgetfulness. This was rebellion. The house smelled exactly as it had when they left, the faint sourness of old takeout lingering in the air, dust sitting heavy on untouched surfaces. And beneath it all, thick and metallic, was blood.Ginny flicked on the living room light with a sharp slap. The copper scent intensified. A dark pool still glistened on the floor, not fully dried. The overturned coffee table lay where it had crashed. A smeared handprint streaked the wall fingers dragged downward, proof of Max trying to pull herself up. And the kitchen knife rested near the rug, blade blackened and crusted. Everything frozen in the aftermath. Exactly as they’d left it. For a long, terrible

Chapter: You Are SafeKAELI wanted to find every person who’d ever mocked her for that stutter and tear their world apart. My wolf, Blade, was pacing behind my ribs, snarling at the memory of her saying her mother called her voice a "nuisance."I kept my ears tuned to the woods. We were safe for the night, but tomorrow, we’d have to put miles between us and everyone we know."I'm curious about something," I said, tearing off a piece of bread as I watched her. "I get why you don't talk now but why do you pretend to be a boy too?"She gripped the pen, and scribbled some words down the held it up:NO ONE LOOKS TWICE. NO ONE… TOUCHES. IT'S SAFE.The implication hit me like a physical blow to the gut. I swallowed the snarl rising in my throat, my pulse thrumming with a protective fury I could barely contain.“From now on, you don’t have to pretend anymore,” I said, my voice dropping to a low, steady rumble. “Not for safety. Not around me.”Her eyes flicked up, wary, exhausted, but searching for the lie

Chapter: Covering Our TrackKAEL“I… I h-have… to… go b-back…” she said, her voice, barely a whisper, each word dragged out like it cost her something precious. “G-Ginny w-would… would b-be… mad if… if I d-didn’t.”The name hit me like a fist to the sternum. I couldn’t help it when my voice came out sharper than I meant, almost a shout. “Okay, who the hell is Ginny?”She flinched, but then impossibly, a tiny huff escaped her, something perilously close to a laugh. It was gone in an instant, swallowed by fear, but it lit something warm and fierce in my chest all the same.“M-mother,” she said, eyes dropping to her trembling hands. “Sh-she’s… my m-mom. And… and M-Mary is… my s-sister. I… I h-have to b-be… home… b-before… before they r-return.”The words mother and sister felt obscene in her mouth, like she was naming weapons instead of family.Blade surged forward in my mind, a guttural snarl echoing through my bones. They dare call themselves that?I pulled in a slow, measured breath, forcing the rage back down b
