I stared at the page so long the words started blurring together and my fingers tightened slightly around the edge of the book.

Marek could live.

My eyes dropped to the last line again. The vessel, however, will survive only if the blood willingly given is freely returned before dawn.

That part was too frigging vague!

Ancient magic loved loopholes and riddles. Nothing was ever simple with this kind of thing. But still, this was more than I’d had before and I couldn’t stop the small flick

  • Alpha Step Daddy : Four Mates, One heart   Chapter 121: They Know

    RAVENA cold feeling settled deep in my stomach and nobody spoke for a second after the scout’s words left his mouth. The courtyard had gone completely still around us and Dominic looked worse hearing that than he had hearing about Darius cornering me.His entire body had gone rigid beside me and I could literally see the muscle moving under his skin. The golden glow in his eyes flickered once before settling again, but barely.“Which packs?” Theo asked quietly.The scout swallowed. “River-Claw. Hollow Ridge. And Redfang.”Jax cursed under his breath immediately. “That’s the worst combo.”“No shit,” Dominic snapped.The scout straightened slightly. “They haven’t crossed the ridge fully yet. They’re staying near the tree line.”“Because they’re waiting to see if we react first,” Theo said.I looked at him. “Why?”Theo rubbed a hand over his face tiredly before looking back at me. “Because if three packs showed up openly, then more are probably already watching from farther back.

    RAVENI stared at the page so long the words started blurring together and my fingers tightened slightly around the edge of the book.Marek could live.My eyes dropped to the last line again. The vessel, however, will survive only if the blood willingly given is freely returned before dawn.That part was too frigging vague! Ancient magic loved loopholes and riddles. Nothing was ever simple with this kind of thing. But still, this was more than I’d had before and I couldn’t stop the small flicker of hope that pushed through the exhaustion weighing down my body.Then footsteps echoed outside the library doors and I froze instantly as voices followed a second later.“Check the east wing.”“The Alpha said she shouldn’t leave the compound.”My stomach tightened.Shouldn’t leave?I snapped the book shut quickly and looked around before shoving it back into the shelf exactly where I found it. My pulse was beating too fast now, instincts prickling painfully under my skin. Something about thi

  • Alpha Step Daddy : Four Mates, One heart   Chapter 119: The Second Answer

    RAVEN“Somebody, HELP ME!!!”The sound ripped out of my throat before I could stop it, panic slamming into me so hard that my entire body went cold but Darius kept walking toward me anyway.The smile on his face was calm, almost amused, like he thought this was a game already decided in his favor. The door behind me wouldn’t budge no matter how hard I twisted the handle and the realization hit fast and ugly. He had probably locked it with magic the moment I stepped in.“You should be careful screaming in another Alpha’s territory,” he said softly. “People might misunderstand.”My pulse hammered painfully against my ribs as I backed away from him. “Stay the hell away from me.”He tilted his head slightly. “You know, I expected Dominic Steele to keep tighter control over something so valuable.”Rage cut through the fear instantly.“I’m not property.”“No?” he asked, taking another step closer. “Because every pack in the north has been talking about you for days now. The Hybrid Luna. The

  • Alpha Step Daddy : Four Mates, One heart   Chapter 118: A life for a life

    RAVENDominic had stopped near the entrance, giving me the space I had asked for, but I was aware of him all the same. After spending hours in the library, I finally came across a book of spells that could help me deal with the issue. However, nothing could have prepared me for what I was about to read. I stood in the hidden section of the library, the book open in my hands, reading the same passage for what felt like the tenth time because my brain refused to accept it the first nine.The ink of the text had faded in places but it was still legible enough to make sense of what it was trying to say. I flipped through slowly at first, scanning, searching for anything else that made sense. At first, most of it spoke of bindings, ancient wolves who had tethered themselves to places, all irrelevant stuff and I was almost about to put the book down when I found it.“A shadow bound to blood and root may be restored to flesh only through severance. The severance requires replacement. A livin

  • Alpha Step Daddy : Four Mates, One heart   Chapter 117 : The cost of a shadow

    RAVENSleep took me all at once, pulling me under before I could even process what they were saying.For a while, there was nothing and I suddenly began to feel very cold. I looked down and the ground beneath my feet wasn’t the bedroom. Had I mistakenly sleepwalked outside? I looked up and there was nothing but ash falling to the ground but I noticed a shadow in front of me. “Marek?”My voice echoed strangely, like it didn’t belong to me. For a second, nothing answered.Then he appeared. Not the way he usually did, in a shadow. Rather, he was solid and standing a few feet away from me. My breath caught in my chest.“Marek…” I stepped closer, my chest tightening as I took him in properly, the way I had never been able to before. “You’re—”“Don’t,” he cut in sharply, his voice rougher than I’d ever heard it.Something in me stilled. He wasn't usually this harsh. What was going on? “I saw you,” I said anyway, softer now. “You were here. Fully here.”“That doesn’t mean anything,” he rep

  • Alpha Step Daddy : Four Mates, One heart   Chapter 116 : All Night

    RAVEN The door clicked shut behind us and a shiver raced down my spine. The room felt smaller suddenly as I stood in the center, heart hammering against my ribs as I stared at all four of them. “This is… new,” I whispered again, but the word felt inadequate. New didn’t cover the ache already building low in my belly.Jax’s low chuckle broke the tension first. “Yeah, sweetheart. But you’re not alone tonight. None of us are leaving.” He pushed off the wall and came closer, his bandaged hand brushing my arm with surprising gentleness. “We’ve got you.”Dominic’s eyes darkened as he stepped into my space, his big hand settling at my waist and pulling me flush against him. “Look at you,” he murmured, voice rough and low, the kind that always melted me. “You think you can handle all of us tonight?”I swallowed hard, nodding before I could find words. Heat pooled between my thighs at the promise in his tone.Theo didn’t wait for permission. He crossed the room in two strides, his uninjured

    COLEI have always been a man of the ice. I like the sound of skates cutting through the rink. I like the smell of sweat and the cold air of the arena. I am used to being in the spotlight, but usually, I am wearing pads and a helmet. I am used to people cheering for a goal, not staring at my tie.T

    DOMINICThe sky was the color of a bruised plum when I finally shook myself awake. I hadn't really slept; I had just drifted in and out of a light doze, my ears twitching at every floorboard creak in the hallway.Raven was still tucked against my side. In the gray light of dawn, she looked small.
