SOPHIA BLACKWOOD

“Luna… There's something you need to see,” Garrett's voice echoed as he walked into my study.

“I'm busy now, Garrett. And why didn't you knock?” I said casually, my eyes glued to the desktop in front of me.

“Forgive my manners, Luna… It's about Shadow Ridge,”

My fingers froze over the keyboard, then I lifted my gaze to him.

He was holding an iPad.

“There is a trending video of Shadow Ridge in the supernatural forum now…” he said, dropping the iPad in front of me on t

  • ALPHA KAEL: All I Want For Christmas Is You    54

    Chapter 54 JASPER My heart pounded, eyes sweeping around restlessly as I sat in the cold and dark prison. My head still ached from the beating, my face still swollen, and my inside still shaking from fear. A few hours ago, I was attacked by strange-looking people. They were all wearing masks. I had no idea why, but before I passed out, I heard them call a familiar name. Cole… That was unmistakably Ella's boss. They mentioned supernatural hunters too. It was at that moment I realised that Cole has been connected to the hunters right from the onset. Apparently, they were hunting Ella too. They pummeled me and only left me when they thought I was dead. I woke up two hours later in an abandoned reservoir. They must've thrown me there thinking that I was dead. I found my way here as soon as I left the reservoir, and here I am, thrown in the prison. I ran my fingers through my hair, squeezing my eyes shut. I only wanted to help Ella… I wanted to win her back by saving her fro

    Chapter 53ALPHA KAEL Aria's scent was already slowly fading away, but we still managed to track it down to Cole's company.I tried to sniff her scent farther, but it had already faded, replaced with the scent of chemicals.I paced restlessly at the garage, my chest contracting as Storm and the other werewolves searched around the company for her.Many thoughts ran through my mind, but I refused to believe that she was dead even though the mate bond had been silenced. I can't stand my mate being dead.I paused as something caught my attention. Just before the gate, an empty syringe laid on the floor.I went to pick it up. My jaw tightened once I realised what it was.Anaesthesia. A different kind.They probably knocked Aria off with this. This must've been the reason I couldn't feel the mate bond. I told myself. I tried hard to believe that, but deep down, I knew it could be something worse.Just then, Storm and the others returned.“We've combed through every corner of the building

    Chapter 52ELLA POV “Ugh!” I groaned in pain, rubbing my temple as pain shot through my head.I squeezed my shit before opening them, but stiffened as I was welcomed by darkness.I had no idea where I was at the moment, but the place was dark. The floor was cold beneath me.The sound of chains rattling echoed in the air as I tried to move, and that was when I realised that my hands were tied with chains.“Wh…what's going…” My voice cracked, fear washing over me as everything replayed in my head.My boss… He lured me out and attacked me. He made me pass away with whatever he had them inject inside me.A soft groan tore through my throat as my ears rang loudly.I should've listened to Kael. Oh fuck! This is my fault. I'm always fucking getting myself into trouble.“Anybody there? Please help me…” I moved, but collided into a bar gate, and I shifted back.Where am I? In a cage?“Anybody there?” My hands trembled as they found their way to the bar gate, my fingers tightening on it.“Some

    Chapter 51Shadow Ridge Pack Kael clutched his chest test tightly, roaring in pain. Ella was in danger… he could feel it through the mate bond.The pain was intense. Sharp. Dragging on for a moment, then silent.Kael dropped to the floor weakly, breathing heavily, his body covered in cold sweat.What's going on? Why can't I feel it again? Kael asked himself, terror creeping up his face. He knew what this meant… Not feeling the mate bond meant that the other person was dead, but still, he didn't want to accept it. There's no way Ella could be dead.His hands trembled as he crawled to the couch, grabbing his phone. Kael felt a glimmer of hope in that moment when the call started ringing, however, the hope slipped past his finger before he could hold on to it.Ella's phone was ringing on the living room’s floor.Kael stood there for a moment, his eyes glued to the phone blankly, many thoughts lingering on his mind. Is she really dead? They couldn't have killed her, right?Then the pa

    Chapter 50ELLA POV “You can't leave the Pack alone. It's dangerous out there,” Kael said, blocking my way as I made to step out of the house.I got a text from Mr. Cole. It must've been so important that he didn't only come here by himself, but texted me later.“I need to go to work, Kael. It's been months since I last went to the office. My boss demands my presence, and if I'm not there, he might fire me…”“He even came here to be sure that I'm fine… I have no excuse to give him now. He saw that I was perfectly fine,” I said calmly, trying to make Kael understand, but he wouldn't budge.“I can't let you leave. It's dangerous out there,” he insisted.My chest burned with anger, but I tried to hold it back, taking a deep long breath.“Kael—”“You are not leaving, Ella. And that's final,” he said with finality in his voice, and without another word, he turned around to leave.I scoffed, “who do you think you are to control me like that?”He paused and threw his head back for a moment

    Chapter 49Jasper's eyes wandered around as he sat in the bar.He'd gotten a text from someone a few hours earlier for a meet up, and they scheduled to meet at the bar.He stared at his phone. The video he posted a few days ago had gained attention. People commented on it. Very few of them believed him, but most people kept saying that he was losing his mind.‘Who would believe this bullshit. People turning to werewolves? That's fucking AI’‘Have you heard of artificial intelligence? They can fuck with your brain’‘What fucking psycho is this? Go deal with your mental illness’Jasper sighed as he read through the comments.Why the fuck is no one believing what he saw? Why do they keep saying that he was making this up?Just then, his phone screen lit up with a text from the familiar unregistered number.‘Where are you? I'm here already’Jasper's eyes wandered around, and paused when he saw a man across the bar, staring at his phone.“Hey…” Jasper called out, and the man lifted his gaz
