Lucas’s POV

There are two kinds of madness. The kind that sneaks in through the cracks. And the kind that kicks the door off its hinges and dares you to stop it.

I didn’t sneak into Selina’s evening; I kicked the fucking door. The maître d’ was halfway through explaining that the restaurant was fully booked for private parties, but I didn’t hear him. My eyes were already locked on the far table near the back terrace.

Candlelight. Wine. A soft jazz quartet playing in the background. The whole fucking scene straight out of a high-society fairy tale.

And there she was. Selina. My Selina, dressed in black again, because she knew it made her look like sin incarnate. The silk of her dress clung to her body like it missed her skin when she moved. Her hair was pinned in that elegant twist that left the sharp edge of her jawline exposed. Her lips were red. That same red she used to leave smeared on my neck.

And across from her sat the man. Fucking Jonathan Ward. A human. Clean-cut. Fucking smi

  • Alpha’s Dark Redemption    Fucking wolf

    Grant’s POVI’d been avoiding her. Not subtly either — full-on dodging hallways, rerouting patrols, cutting conversations short the second I even thought she might be nearby. It wasn’t about fear. I wasn’t afraid of Vera. I was afraid of me. Of what I would do. Of what I was becoming every time I got within ten feet of her. There was something dangerous brewing beneath my skin, something primal, something not entirely mine anymore. My wolf — the bastard — had been clawing at the edges of my consciousness since the moment she walked through the pack gates like she belonged here, like the air bent around her just to touch her. And maybe it did. Maybe everything did. But I couldn’t handle that. I wouldn’t handle that.She wasn’t one of us.And worse — she didn’t even know.I was barely keeping it together. Every minute, every second I spent pretending I didn’t feel the pull, pretending my skin didn’t itch and burn to be near her, pretending my wolf wasn’t practically howling inside me ev

  • Alpha’s Dark Redemption    Faultlines

    Selina’s POVThe tension in that room was thick enough to choke on, a living, breathing thing that pressed against my skin, crawled down my spine, and coiled tight in my gut like a storm waiting to break, and as I stood there, watching Grant’s eyes darken, watching his hands tremble with the effort it took to keep his wolf at bay, watching the way Vera shifted beside me, unease flickering across her face like the first crack of lightning before the downpour, I realized just how close we all were to the edge — not just of this moment, not just of this disaster, but of something far deeper, far older, something that had been waiting beneath the surface of all of us, hidden in the fractures we’d tried so hard to ignore.Grant didn’t speak again, not to Lucas, not to me, or to Vera—he just turned, sharp and sudden, the muscles in his body snapping like a wire stretched too tight, and he stalked from the room without a word, his boots heavy on the floor, his scent a riot of frustration and

  • Alpha’s Dark Redemption    She is my mate

    Lucas’s POVThe room felt too small the moment Grant’s expression shifted, the moment the air thickened with something I couldn’t name yet but sure as hell recognized—the scent of a storm before it breaks, the weight of a secret heavy enough to crush a man if he let it sit too long on his chest—and as he stood there, silent and rigid, eyes locked on Vera like she was the answer to a question he hadn’t meant to ask, I felt my patience snap, the thin thread of calm I’d been clinging to fraying fast beneath the weight of everything else that had gone to hell this week, this month, this year.“Grant,” I said, low and sharp, my voice slicing through the tension, but he didn’t move—didn’t blink—didn’t so much as breathe like a man should, and that was the moment I knew, that was the moment the pit opened in my gut, cold and deep and dangerous, because whatever this was, it wasn’t nothing, and nothing didn’t make a warrior like Grant freeze like a man caught between instinct and reason, betw

  • Alpha’s Dark Redemption     The Scent of What Shouldn’t Be

    Grant’s POVI didn’t know what the fuck was happening, but the second I stepped into that room, the air changed, thick and heavy like a storm about to break, and everything in me—every instinct, every nerve, every goddamn fiber of my being—zeroed in on her, on Vera, on the human I had barely spared a glance for, on the woman I thought was just another complication, another liability, another reason for Lucas to grind his teeth in frustration—and in that instant, nothing else mattered, not the destruction in the city, not the trail of bodies we hadn’t yet solved, not the war that was coming, not even Selina, who I’d sworn to protect at all costs, because the scent hit me like lightning, like fire, like something so ancient and deep that it went beyond thought, beyond reason, beyond anything I could’ve prepared for.I froze.The words I’d been about to say—gone, burned away in the heat of that single, devastating truth.And I saw her. I really saw her, Selina's human friend. But not as

  • Alpha’s Dark Redemption    A Dangerous Return

    Selina’s POVThe weight of the decision pressed on me like a stone tied around my neck, dragging at my every breath, my every thought, my every step as Vera and I approached the towering gates of the Blackwood estate, the iron and stone looming before us like a reminder of all the pain, all the history, all the ghosts I had tried so hard to leave behind, and yet here I was, returning not as his mate I had once been, not as the woman who had once belonged here, but as a mother with no other choice, with nothing left to lose but the boy whose safety meant more to me than every ounce of pride, every shard of dignity I might still have clutched to my chest had the world been a kinder place.Vera walked beside me, her expression hard as steel, her shoulders squared, her eyes sharp as blades, as if daring the very walls of this place to challenge her, to judge her, to try and strip from her the strength she had wrapped around herself like armor, and I drew from that strength, breathed it in

  • Alpha’s Dark Redemption    Going back to where it all started

    Selina’s POVI paced the length of my room, the night pressing heavy against the glass of the windows, the city beyond seeming smaller, darker, as if even the lights of the skyscrapers couldn’t keep the shadows at bay anymore, as if the weight of everything that had been set in motion was creeping closer with every heartbeat, every breath that felt too shallow, too tight. Damon slept in the next room, innocent, oblivious to the storm building around him, and I hated it—hated that I couldn’t keep the world from bleeding through the cracks of the sanctuary I’d tried so hard to build for him, hated that even now, even after everything, I was powerless to stop it alone.I called Vera.I didn’t even think—I just did it, my fingers trembling as I dialed, my voice raw when she answered, as if she’d known I would need her tonight.“Selina?” Vera’s voice was soft, worried, a balm I didn’t deserve.“I need you to come over,” I whispered, forcing the words past the lump in my throat. “Please.”S
