The Alpha's Human Mate
Dr. Hope Stevens is a dedicated trauma surgeon in the quiet mountain town of Black Hollow. Her entire existence is rooted in logic and science. But when she is taken against her will to tend to rapidly healing wounds of the most attractive man she has ever seen, her world shatters. That man is Malakar Greycloud, the feared and respected Alpha of the Eclipseborn Pack. A ruthless yet fiercely loyal wolf who never expected to find his fated mate in a human that doesn't even believe in the existence of his kind. The pull between the however, is undeniable, raw and dangerous. As Hope is thrust into his world, his pack is anything but welcoming. All they see when they look at her is a weak outsider that puts them at risk. The pack elders insist that Malakar reject her, but his wolf refuses. She belongs to him, and he belongs to her. When Hope looks into his primal eyes and sees the rage that lingers just beneath the surface, she wonders if she can love both sides of him. The strong yet gentle man and the murderous beast that has killed. She can't help but wonder if she's falling for a monster. With a rival pack closing in and a mysterious Hunter tracking their every move, Hope has a decision to make. Will she turn her back on Malakar, or will she step into the darkness with the man who has claimed her soul? Malakar faces his own battle: proving to his pack that Hope is not their greatest weakness, but perhaps their greatest strength.

Chapter: Chapter 59.Malakar's POV.I stand at the base of the stairs, arms crossed, expression carved from stone. The warm laughter drifting toward me from the tree line doing little to soften the storm building in my chest.There they are — Hope, Morgana, Lucian, and Sarah — strolling out of the forest like a pack of teenagers sneaking in after curfew. The moment Hope’s eyes meet mine, her smile falters. Good. She should know exactly how much trouble she's in. They slow as they reach me, the weight of my glare silencing whatever joke had just been shared.“Nice of you all to drop in,” I say coldly. “Had a fun little field trip, did we?”Hope steps forward, chin raised, that familiar fire in her eyes. “We got what we needed. I didn’t have a choice, Malakar. I had to act fast.”“You didn’t have a choice?” My voice is low, dangerous. “What you had to do was tell me. Or wait for me. Or — I don’t know — not disappear with a known enemy and a woman who tried to kill you!”“She’s not the enemy right now,” Hope

Chapter: Chapter 58.Hope's POV.The fluorescent glow of the medical center casts long shadows across the pavement as the four of us cross the parking lot. I keep my gaze low, deliberately steering the others away from the Emergency Room entrance. I can't bring myself to look at it. Just the sight of the double doors brings a lump to my throat.This place had once been my sanctuary — my purpose. A life filled with midnight shifts, tired laughter in the breakroom, and the kind of adrenaline that has nothing to do with hunters or fangs. My old life comes rushing back in painful clarity, and I'm hit with an unexpected wave of longing.I hadn’t realized how much I missed it. My job. My friends. The life I'd built for myself before everything changed. I don't regret choosing the pack. I don't regret choosing Malakar. But there is a small, aching part of me that wishes I could have both."Hope?" Lucian’s voice nudges me from my thoughts. "You alright?"I blink, forcing a smile as we enter through a side door ne

Chapter: Chapter 57.Hope's POV.I approach the toolshed with purpose, the key already in my hand. The two guards stationed outside give me curious glances but don't question me. I nod once, unlocking the door and stepping inside.Sarah looks up from her cot, brows lifting in surprise. “Back so soon? What is it this time—more casual interrogation or just bored?”“Neither,” I say, my tone clipped. “I need your help.”That wipes the smirk off Sarah’s face. “Help?”“You said you wanted out of here,” I continue, arms crossed. “This is your opportunity.”Sarah sits up slowly, eyes narrowing. “You’re serious.”“Deadly. I need you to come with me to the Medical Center. There’s someone there—a friend—who might be able to help with our little poison problem. But I need what you know, and I need you to be honest.”Sarah hesitates, doubt flickering across her face. “And if I say no?”I raise a brow. “Then you stay here. Enjoy some more of that famous werewolf hospitality you like so much. But you won't, say no, I me

Chapter: Chapter 56.Hope's POV.The room is quiet, the only sound the soft hum of the wind outside and the steady rhythm of Malakar’s breathing beside me. His arms are wrapped around me, holding me like he never wants to let go, our legs tangled beneath the blanket. The warmth of his body seeping into mine, a comfort I hadn’t realized how desperately I needed until I was finally back in it.He only just returned—grimy from the road and exhausted to the bone—but he is here. Whole. Safe. With me.My fingers trace slow circles on his bare chest, lingering over the scars I know all too well. His heart beat strong beneath my palm, and I lean in to press a soft kiss just above it.“You’re really here,” I whisper.Malakar’s hand slides up to cup the side of my face, rough thumb brushing gently across my cheek. “I told you I’d come back to you.”“I know.” I smile, my heart tightening. “But that doesn’t mean I didn’t worry.”He turns his head, eyes catching mine in the dim light. “You and worry go together like m

Chapter: Chapter 55.Lucian's POV.Darkness swallows me whole.I drift in the space between life and death, consciousness and oblivion, but even here—where pain should have dulled and time should have stopped—the memory finds me.The dream begins in shadows, the kind that draped the corners of my childhood home like cobwebs. The scent of pine needles, smoke, and old books lingers in the air. I know this day. Know it too well.I was standing in the doorway of my father’s room. The man who had raised me—strong, proud, stubborn to a fault—lay in bed, his face pale, his breathing labored. The illness had stolen so much of him already, but his eyes were still sharp. Still full of something I didn’t yet understand: guilt.“Dad?” I said, my voice tight. “You said you needed to talk to me.”My father nodded slowly and patted the edge of the bed. I approached, hesitated, then sat. My father’s hand, rough and familiar, gripped my own.“I should have told you sooner,” the old man rasped. “I didn’t want it to come to

Chapter: Chapter 54.Velara's POV.I sit on the edge of the window seat, the soft light of morning casting a pale glow across my face. My hands are clasped in my lap, white-knuckled, as if holding myself together by sheer force of will.Outside, the forest is quiet, a deceptive stillness that makes the storm inside my chest all the more unbearable.“He won’t even look at me, Vladimir,” I whispered. My voice cracks, raw from sleepless nights and stifled sobs. “He walks the other way when I come into a room. Like I’m a stranger. Like I disgust him.”Vladimir stands a few feet away, arms crossed as he leans against the far wall. He says nothing for a moment, just watches me with a heavy heart. I must look so small—so unlike the fierce, composed Luna I'd always been. The woman he’s known for decades is unraveling.“I've lost him,” I say. “Haven’t I?”“No,” Vladimir says softly. “But right now, he’s... broken. And he's trying to figure out if the pieces are even worth putting back together.”I turn toward him,
