The Alpha's Secret Daughter
"Just let me hold you for a while, please," he said after setting me back down. This time, he laid me in the middle of the bed before sliding in next to me.
"What if this was really me? Not a dream version of Lucy but the real thing?" I asked.
He reached his hand across to me, pulling my hair behind my ear before pulling me closer to his body.
"Well, in real life, you probably would have slapped me for doing this," he said, making us both laugh.
Little did he know.
After I witnessed my mom's murder, I fled my pack to search for a freedom I knew may never exist. I dreaded the day I would turn 18 as I never wanted a mate bond after the horror I had lived through.
After years of being sold as a slave, I found myself belonging to a new pack once again.
And then, I turned 18. I found not just one but two mates along with untapped power that I have no idea how to manage.

Chapter: Author Note+Don't worry, this was free to open!!+I just wanted to take the time to thank everyone who followed along with this story. It took a great deal of time to plot, plan, and execute—far more time than I had expected, but I enjoyed it immensely.I learned a lot from this first web novel and feel more prepared for my next one. My goal for the next book is to post one chapter every day at a minimum, aside from possibly a few weekends here and there.This requires me to plan ahead, prepare chapters in advance, and be prepared for any emergencies or last-minute things. However, I realize how important it is for readers to know when to expect more chapters rather than having to guess or check in, and for that, I'm sorry. I do know it happened often at the end of this book but was not intentional.Life has been pretty hard the last several months. Writing has always been something that takes me away from the noise, so I just want to say thank you again for making it even more worthwhile and hel

Chapter: 260 - The End But A New BeginningLucy:I couldn't help but smile internally as Nia and Jax played.I could feel his soul healing. Slowly, but it was healing nonetheless.'You can't kill our mates. That won't make us team with you. It will only create more resentment,' Nia whispers, cuddled up next to Jax.Nia remembers; therefore, I also remember. I remember her pain when they were murdered. I remember the pain her mother felt, a prior Silver Throne Queen, the one in the memory I spent so long trying to understand.I remember the pain she could feel through her bond with Davi.The suffering. The start of what would be considered dark times for the Fae species.An action that caused us to go underground. Fear rippled through our communities as the recognition of our power and abilities became clearer to other species.And then- a promise forged from empathy and understanding.An Alpha, all too familiar with the loss of a child, stepped forward to bear the weight of what his kind had done—the original Alpha of the Cres

Chapter: 259 - DaviLucy:Memories are like small treasures that can never be replaced with money. They can't be bought or curated.Stolen. Yes. Something we had all learned the hard way.I knew that Nia was special. It was always obvious.She was highly intelligent, despite the fact that I often didn't want to listen to her at first.A product of loss, confusion, grief, and overall naivety.A young girl thrown into the reality of the world. The harshest realities.The kind that makes you or breaks you. Looking back now, I realize that I actively let it break me because loneliness is its own kind of friend.It doesn't comfort you, but it also doesn't hurt you. It doesn't inflict pain with words or fists. It cuddles you and whispers that you're enough, but only in the darkness, only when you're alone.It had curled around me, trying to become me, but I was never meant to be alone.And as nature often does, it unfolded within itself, revealing the truth and pushing me towards a reality I needed to face.

Chapter: 258 - The OrbLucy:The Silver was like an allusion. Maybe it was meant to scare the werewolves away.Silver is feared among werewolves, by nature, something I was never familiar with.Something that, in my nature, was welcomed and celebrated.The water beneath the lake was rich in color. Blues, purples, pinks, and greens.Each color swirled within another, mixing and mingling like the sky above, but it wasn't just that that took my breath away; it was something much bigger.I swam further down into the waters, thinking of nothing other than the destination ahead.'You'll need help,' I hear Rosie's voice in my head.The connection I laid out for us is still prominent.As I look around, I see nothing but seaweed and other plants beneath me.'I can't hold my breath much longer,' I explain to her, even though it's clear that she's aware.'I know, I'm almost there. Hold on,' her voice is soft like it's always been, but there's more life in her than before.I continue to swim forward when I catch a glim

Chapter: 257 - Throne CeremonyLucy:"What is this?" I ask, my hands still trembling and weak from Zeak marking me.Trish had made me more of the heat potion, not just for me but for others who wanted to wait.His marking was similar and yet different. Extending from my other marks. Aphirages curving and flowing down my back in the shape of wings.A symbol unlike any that Nadia had ever seen."It's your mother's ceremonial dress, passed down for generations," Nadia smiles at me.She gently hands me the long silver garment bag. It has soft black-and-white engraving around the seams in Fae encryption. I set it down on my bed and unzip the bag before opening it to the most beautiful dress I have ever seen. It nearly takes my breath away.The sleeves were long and made of thin white lace. The body of the dress was pearl white silk and would easily flowed easily down to the ground.Nadia stood behind me in front of the mirror after I put on the dress. Her eyes watered with held-back tears, and she looked at me in a way

Chapter: 256 - Ancestorial MagicLucy:Zeak gasps as we all tumble through the portal and into the last spot I can remember Liam and me being in the cave.My memory took us to this space, and somehow it felt more familiar to me than before. I shift my eyes as I gain my bearings."Are you okay?" I ask Zeak, who is dry heaving off to the side."I'm fine," he mutters, straightening his posture to look at me."I'm fine," I mimic sarcastically, getting irritated and moody at his behavior."C'mon, little mate," Leon chuckles as I glare up at Zeak.'He will come around,' Nia continues to remind me, but I'm over it.I'm done with him hurting my feelings."What is this place?" Zeak asks, obviously ignoring my feelings and outburst."It's where we are connected to the other realms," I say quietly. I hadn't really talked about this with any of my mates up to this point."Our connection was broken along the way, which caused the flow of that connection to stop, hence the pond instead of a river. This cave is the key. I'm just n

Promised to Another
"You'll be a good girl for me, won't you? "he adds, his eyes darting across my face as he pushes himself further into me.
All the will I had to question what had suddenly changed has left me.
He was all that mattered.
Something deep in my soul told me that tonight wasn't our typical adventure.
He was aware that our days were numbered, even if I had no intentions of stopping our secret affair.
This sent flutters through my stomach as he pulled out and slammed back into me.
I would be married to another in just a few short months, but tonight would be burned into my brain forever.
Annora is the heir to the Fae Throne. Her mother died at birth, and her father became ill when she was a teenager.
As a result, her father has created a tournament in which Fae leaders he deems worthy must undergo challenges to win his daughter's heart and the throne alongside her.
The problem is that Annora has already fallen in love with another—a forbidden love with a man who eventually becomes her stepbrother, making things all the more complicated in a world that she is already lost in.
As the kingdom begins to crumple and hearts tangle, can Annora find the strength to be true to herself, her heritage, and her fated mate?

Chapter: Chapter 50Annora:“No fair!” I hear Noah's voice.I poke my head out of the doorway and see Noah, who looks out of breath and a bit roughed up.“No using your magic on castle grounds remember?” Noah whines.I look at Sebastian, who is just standing there smiling, not paying any attention to anything other than me. He shrugs and turns to Noah, raising his eyebrow before finally responding to him.“You can’t prove anything,” he shrugs again before turning back to me.“You know, there are ways to prove the use of magic,” I smile back. His face is majestic, alluring; I can’t help but recognise this when he is present.“Shhh,” Sebastian responds quietly.Noah finally makes it to the door, with a crumpled flower, missing half its petals. The disappointment is clear on his face when he, too, notices the flower's condition now.“Come in, both of you,” I laugh, turning to give them space to enter.They follow me to the coffee nook where Krish is still sitting, drinking her coffee and scrolling through h

Chapter: Chapter 49Jacob POV:It’s late by the time we make it out of there. I used the magic I syphoned from Nora to start a fire between the unexpected guest and us, giving us just enough time to get the rest of the vamps out of the building.“Go, take care of the guards in the woods. I’ll lead the vamps towards the tunnels. Be careful,” I whisper to Yalli.The guard near the back entrance is still out cold, but I know we don’t have too much longer before he starts to come to, and our unexpected guest has definitely called for backup already.Most of the vamps are weak and slow. The odd part was that I didn’t recognize a few of them. Normally, their speed alone could get them out of the region borders easily without being caught, but they don’t have the strength to do that right now, so we would need to use the tunnels that had been built hundreds of years ago. We have maintained them for the most part, but I did try to avoid them when I could.I was surprised that they hadn’t implemented more securi

Chapter: Chapter 48Annora:"Can I see?" she finally asks.The look on her face is one of amusement, like a child in a candy shop. She stands up but doesn't move forward, looking at me for permission."I'm not sure that's the best idea, do you? I'm not sure how this works, Chia," I admit.I feel bad. I don't want her to think I don't trust her, but part of me doesn't."Something was going on with you before all of that happened. I know that nothing will ever be the same now. A lot has changed, obviously. Before the dinner, the night I was turned, I saw your skin change briefly," she says."You can talk to me, you know? I'm still me in more ways than I'm not," she murmurs."When I saw you at... that place... You looked..." I trail off, trying to find the right word."Dead?" she fills in the blank and chuckles."Yeah, I don't know what they were injecting me with, but they also hadn't allowed me to feed for several days," she explains.If this isn't the weirdest conversation I've ever had, I don't know wha

Chapter: Chapter 47Annora:"I'm not leaving you here alone. What if he comes back?" Noah asks.Of all of the guidance father had given me, using my magic before my birthday was one of his strictest rules, but I no longer care.If he comes back, I will melt the skin off his hands so that he can never touch me or anyone else ever again."Nora, we need to tell someone. That wasn't okay!" He's pacing back and forth next to my bed, chewing on his lips before turning and giving me an odd look."You know it's not fair to tap into my feelings without my consent," I tease him. Now that I've had a moment to breathe and process what just happened, I sit up on the bed, wiping the rest of the tears from my face. The sadness and confusion are quickly replaced by anger and hatred I have never felt before."Sorry. Sometimes I can't help it," he murmurs, sitting on the edge of the bed."Are you sure you'll be safe? I can just stay on the sofa in the living room," he adds. He's very sweet. I can tell he is genuinely con

Chapter: Chapter 46Annora:*trigger: domestic and sexual abuse*The warmth and touch of someone who makes you feel safe doesn't compare to much. It used to feel that way with Darin. I couldn't comprehend how we got to this point.His fingers ran through the hair on the back of my head before I could react. The tips of his fingers felt hot against my skin as he gripped the back of my neck, pulling me backwards, toward him."Now, where do you think you're running off to so quickly?" He leans his face down to my ear as he speaks to me.I can feel his breath hot against the side of my face, my hair flittering as he speaks, tickling my skin in the most uncomfortable way.My heart is now thudding against my ribs like someone hammering against a drum violently. I shouldn't be scared of him, and I know this.Yet, we all have our kryptonite. "Let go of me, Darin. This is highly inappropriate," I say through gritted teeth.My eyes glance around the hallway and land on the door to my room. I was so close. I guess

Chapter: Chapter 45 - Jacobs POVJacob:I was married to the job. I always had been. Work the mission, achieve the mission, report back. Repeat.I haven't gotten close to many people, nor have I put effort into any romantic relationship outside the occasional hookup.For hundreds of years, this is how I've lived, and I've never minded it being this way before.I hadn't expected my mission would lead me to something so complicated and unexpected. Knowing what I know, the feelings building for Nora were entirely out of line.She belonged to another, and unlike many believed, it wasn't any of her suitors. Just like me, they will likely fall for the woman that no one could have.I would never cross that boundary again.I'm trying to make sense out of all of this and how it could possibly end well as things start to unfold.Tochi senses Nora is in danger. When she senses these things, they're always in the near future. An incredible gift that I've been fortunate enough to benefit from.The only problem was that the range i
