Rhea’s POV

The growls outside sharpened into roars, each one vibrating through the fragile wooden walls of the cottage. The air thickened with dread, heavy enough to choke me. Kael’s hand found mine for the briefest moment before he let go, his voice a low command that brooked no argument.

“Stay inside. Don’t open that door until I say.”

Before I could answer, the door shuddered beneath a brutal impact — something massive slamming against it hard enough to splinter the frame. My breath caught as the hinges squealed in protest.

Kael was already moving. His body blurred into motion, muscles stretching and twisting, bones cracking in the terrifying, mesmerizing shift. His growl deepened into the full-throated snarl of the Alpha wolf, filling the room until I could feel it in my bones.

Through the window, silver streaks burst into the night — Draven wolves, Kael’s pack, throwing themselves into the fray. The darkness outside exploded with movement: wolves colliding, claws tearing, teeth s

  • Alpha Kael And The Crimson Bloodline    26. A Wolf in the Smoke

    Rhea’s POV The smoke clung to me like a shroud.It filled my lungs with every shallow breath, the taste of ash and iron staining my tongue. My body felt heavy, pinned down by exhaustion and pain, but somewhere beneath it all was the echo of Kael’s voice — sharp, commanding, calling my name through the chaos.I forced my eyes open. The forest swam in and out of focus, trees veiled in drifting smoke that blurred their edges. My ears rang, a dull, endless hum that made it hard to tell if the battle was truly over. My last memory was of snarling jaws, claws raking the ground, and Kael’s figure locked in combat just beyond reach.Now, silence.A shape moved through the smoke. My chest seized, fear snapping me awake. My arms trembled as I tried to drag myself backward, but pain flared down my leg — twisted, swollen, useless. The figure drew closer. Tall. Broad-shouldered. Eyes catching light even in the haze.“Easy,” a voice said.Fenrak.Relief surged, chased immediately by unease. He loo

  • Alpha Kael And The Crimson Bloodline    24. Before the Howl

    The forest was not the same after the battle.Violet’s boots pressed into damp soil, each step whispering in echoes of violence. She could still sense the residual energy lingering in the air—ashes of fury and blood, the metallic tang of wounds, the raw heat of unleashed power. The place where Kael and Marek had nearly torn each other apart, where the Watcher had descended, carried a silence too heavy for ordinary woods. It was the silence of something watching.Her fingers brushed the silver chain around her neck, feeling the cold pendant pulsing faintly against her skin. A reminder of Rhea, of why she was here. She crouched near the spot where the earth was clawed open from Kael’s strikes, where mud had mixed with blood, and whispered under her breath:“Show me.”Scooping a handful of soil, she flung it upward. The dirt scattered into the night air, drifting like dark sparks. For a moment, nothing answered. No sign. No whisper. Just the breath of trees swaying above her.Then came t

  • Alpha Kael And The Crimson Bloodline    23. The Whisper in the Woods

    The world outside Elara’s cottage was silent. Too silent. Not even the wind dared stir the thick trees that surrounded us. I sat on the edge of the couch, my hands trembling only slightly now—not from fear, but from exhaustion. The smell of blood still lingered in the air, faint yet metallic, a reminder of the chaos that had unfolded only hours ago.Kael stood in the center of the room, shirtless, his chest streaked with drying blood, though none of it was fresh anymore. I couldn’t help but stare at him. His wounds—deep, ragged gashes across his shoulder and ribs—were already knitting themselves closed. The sight was both terrifying and awe-inspiring. The speed of his healing wasn’t human. Even for a werewolf, it was extraordinary.“Are you… alright?” My voice came out steadier than I expected.Kael glanced at me, his expression unreadable. “I will be. I’m not easy to kill.”I knew that already. I’d seen him fight tonight—seen the sheer force behind every strike, the feral power that

  • Alpha Kael And The Crimson Bloodline    22. Shadows in Motion

    The Hollow pulsed with an eerie, living darkness as the Watcher crawled back through its jagged entrance, its monstrous form shuddering. The creature’s breathing came in harsh, guttural growls; deep gashes carved into its scaled hide dripped with black ichor, steaming where it met the cold earth. Its talons scraped against the stone floor, leaving deep grooves as it slumped before its masters.Nyxara crouched low, her pale fingers curling beneath its massive jaw, lifting its head to meet her glowing silver gaze. The creature’s eyes burned faintly red but flickered, dimmed by exhaustion.“Hold still,” she whispered, voice like a hiss of wind through dead trees. Her other hand traced runes in the air, threads of black and violet magic snaking around the Watcher’s wounds. The gashes hissed and smoked as the magic sealed them, stopping the blood flow but leaving scars that glimmered faintly in the Hollow’s dim light.Behind her, Mirelda knelt with a bowl carved from bone, scooping thick,

  • Alpha Kael And The Crimson Bloodline    21. The Gathering Storm

    The moonlight barely pierced through the towering pines, but the clearing was alive with a sinister hum of power. Three figures stood in a perfect triangle, cloaked in deep forest-green and black, their faces pale as bone beneath the hooded shadows.Nyxara stepped forward, her long, talon-like nails grazing the shaft of the ancient bow slung over her back. Her voice was cold, commanding, and sharp enough to cut the silence.“Summon him,” she hissed. “The Watcher. The girl cannot be allowed to wander free any longer.”Mirelda raised her hand without hesitation, her amber eyes glowing faintly as the ground beneath them trembled. “The Huntsman’s oath binds him to us. He will obey.”A low growl reverberated through the clearing as a towering silhouette formed between the trees. The Watcher stepped into view—an armored beast cloaked in shadows, eyes glowing like coals beneath his mask of bone. His breath was heavy, his very presence bending the branches around him as though the forest fear
