The eyes didn’t blink.

Aria’s chest seized, breath locked in her throat. The red glow floated between the trees, steady, patient… waiting.

A twig snapped behind her.

She spun, pulse hammering, but saw only shadows. The night was too still, the silence too heavy.

Run.

Her legs obeyed before her mind caught up. She darted between the trees, heart pounding, bare feet tearing on roots and stone. The forest swallowed her in darkness, branches whipping her face as she forced herself deeper.

A growl followed. Low. Hungry.

Aria’s throat burned, but she didn’t scream. She knew instinctively that sound would give her away. She shoved herself forward until her lungs ached, until her legs trembled—

—and then a shape lunged from the dark.

She stumbled back with a gasp. A wolf, massive, black-furred, eyes burning like coals.

Her hand found a fallen branch, splintered and jagged, and she swung with all her strength. The wood cracked against its muzzle. The wolf yelped, staggering—then sna

  • Kidnapped by the Alpha    Chapter 32: The Heart of the Abyss (Climax, Aftermath, Epilogue)

    The battlefield collapsed inward. What had been armies became fragments, caught in the pull of a storm that no longer belonged to sky or earth. Shadow-fire roared, arcs of molten darkness carving trenches through the ground. Men screamed, their cries swallowed by the abyss, yet no one fled. Every gaze was fixed on the storm’s heart—on the choice that would end them all. --- Aria stood swaying, her body little more than blood and will. Her hand gripped her sword tight enough to draw her own blood. Each breath rattled, her ribs aching with fire. But she did not look away from Lucien. “Fight it,” she whispered, her voice raw, broken, but still carrying. “Fight for me. For us.” The shadows hissed, recoiling as though her words cut deeper than steel. --- Lucien staggered. His fireblade burned unsteady, flaring and guttering like a dying star. The mark screamed, searing his veins, forcing the weapon higher. End her. Claim her. Be free. But beneath it, her voice—Aria’s voice

  • Kidnapped by the Alpha    Chapter 29

    Chapter 29 – When the Sky BreaksThe storm shattered.A sound like the world itself tearing ripped across the battlefield, so vast it seemed to split bone and sky alike. Shadow-fire exploded outward in a devouring wave, shredding banners to rags, hurling men like dolls, and snuffing torches as though the night itself had swallowed flame.The clash of armies dissolved into chaos. Soldiers tumbled into one another, friend and foe indistinguishable beneath the fury of wind and shadow. Shields spun into the dark like leaves torn from branches, blades ripped from hands before they could strike. For a heartbeat, there were no sides, no commands, no war—only ants beneath a collapsing sky.And at the storm’s center, four figures stood—or staggered—at ground zero.Aria hit her knees as the blast ripped through her body. Her sword slipped from her hand, clattering against stone, its steel ringing like a cry. Smoke seared her lungs with every desperate breath, her vision swimming in ash. Her pal

  • Kidnapped by the Alpha    Chapter 28

    Chapter 28 – The Shattered TriangleThe air was a blade, sharp enough to draw blood with every breath. The storm shrieked, a howl of fractured sky tearing against shattered earth. The battlefield that had once been solid beneath their feet was now a living wound, jagged cracks glowing with shadow-fire, ash choking the air.Lucien stood at the eye of it all, caught between Kael’s shield and Aria’s eyes. His fireblade burned in his grip, but trembled as though it resisted his hold. The mark etched along his arm blazed brighter with every heartbeat, its fire and shadow winding through his veins like chains.The abyss howled at him—strike, end them, claim the silence! The voices swarmed his mind, merciless, filling him with a hunger that threatened to drown all thought. Yet even through the roar, other voices pressed in.Kael’s defiance.Aria’s plea.Each beat of his heart fractured him further.Aria staggered but refused to fall. Her legs trembled, her lungs screamed, her body begged for

  • Kidnapped by the Alpha    Chapter 27

    Chapter 27: Blades in the MaelstromThe storm convulsed, swallowing cries, shattering stone, drowning steel in shadow-fire.Aria tried to rise. Her palms pressed into the ruined earth, her breath ragged, blood dripping warm down her side. Every movement tore fire through her ribs. Her blade lay beyond reach, glinting faint in the storm’s glow.She crawled toward it, every inch a war against her body. Her vision blurred, darkness threatening to take her. But she forced herself on. If I fall now… it’s over.---Kael roared, his sword lifted high, shield braced against the shrieking gale. His boots hammered the broken ground as he drove into the storm. The shadow-flames clawed at him, searing his arm, but he did not slow.He saw Lucien, towering in the heart of it all, his fireblade raised, his form trembling as if ripped between worlds. Aria lay crumpled in the dirt behind him.“Lucien!” Kael’s voice split the storm. “If you want her life—you’ll have to take mine first!”He struck.---
