Desperate Measures

작가: Emily J.
(Elara's POV)

The Silver Moon stood before me like an opulent guardian of secrets and lies, its shining glass exterior almost mocking. My wolf, Emily, whimpered softly, shrinking back inside me. We both felt completely out of place as Sasha led me through the sleek entrance doors.

"Keep your head up," Sasha muttered without turning her head. Her voice carried the same sharpness it always did, but there was something else there—something that warned me this place wasn’t just another venue. "You don’t want to look weak. Wolves here can smell desperation a mile away."

I clenched my jaw. Desperation clung to me like a second skin, no matter how straight I tried to keep my posture.

The inside of the venue was even more intimidating. Polished marble floors gleamed under the soft glow of chandeliers, and the air was thick with unfamiliar, mingled scents from all over the packs. Dominant wolves, clearly powerful Alphas or Betas, lounged in expensive suits and dresses, their low conversatio

  • Alpha's Regret After I Mated to His Brother   Pack Schemes and Broken Bonds

    **(Madam Evergreen's POV)**My eyes widened as Madam Evelyn Foster's words hit me like a silver blade. "You're finally going to sever your mate bond with Harold?"The luxury SUV hummed quietly as we traveled through Ocean City's moonlit streets. Elara had fallen asleep against her mother's shoulder, exhausted from the evening's chaos."It's the only way," Madam Evelyn said, her voice carrying steel determination I hadn't heard in years. "If Harold gains nothing from our bond severance, Diana Reed will become the most anxious wolf in the pack."I studied my oldest friend's profile in the dim light. "You think exposing her desperation will finally open Harold's eyes to her true nature?""Diana has been pulling his strings for decades," Madam Evelyn replied coldly. "When she realizes her meal ticket is disappearing, she'll reveal exactly what kind of wolf she really is."A sigh escaped my lips despite my support for her decision. "Evelyn, I have to ask... is Alpha Hale influencing t

  • Alpha's Regret After I Mated to His Brother   Pack Ambush and Hidden Identities

    **(Alpha Hale's POV)**Cold water crashed over my face like a silver blade, jolting me back to consciousness. My head throbbed with excruciating pain as I tried to focus my vision.The abandoned den around me reeked of decay and rogue wolf scent. Rusted chains bound my wrists to a concrete pillar, the metal biting into my skin."Well, well. Look who's finally awake."The voice sent ice through my veins. I knew that gravelly tone, that predatory smile. Kane Silver stepped into the dim moonlight filtering through broken windows.Twenty years hadn't been kind to the rogue wolf mercenary. His fur was grayer now, scarred from countless territorial disputes. But those cold eyes remained unchanged - the same eyes that had tried to silver-burn Madam Evelyn all those hunting seasons ago."Surprised to see me alive, Thomas?" Kane's laugh was sharp and cruel. "I heard you took a silver bullet for that Foster she-wolf back then. Thought you were feeding the moonworms by now."My mind raced

  • Alpha's Regret After I Mated to His Brother   Pack Rivals and Dangerous Ambush

    **(Madam Evelyn's POV)**I lowered my head and stayed silent. Harold's presence in our SUV made my skin crawl."Harold, stop hanging around. There's no room," Madam Evergreen snapped.Harold's face turned red. "If there's no room, go ride Alpha Evergreen's SUV! We are pack going home together. Why is he butting in?""Your thick skin knows no bounds," Madam Evergreen shot back.Harold refused to leave. I felt trapped and absolutely would not share space with him anymore.I turned to Alpha Hale. "Is your SUV available?"His eyes lit up with excitement. "Of course! Right over there."He pointed to a black vehicle nearby, practically vibrating with joy.I nodded. "Fine. I'll ride with you."Alpha Hale walked me to his transport. He gestured to his territory guardian, who immediately understood."Alpha, I feel sick. Terrible stomach ache," the guardian said, clutching his belly.Alpha Hale looked disgusted. "Pathetic. Give me the keys and get to a healer."The guardian handed o

  • Alpha's Regret After I Mated to His Brother   Pack Confrontations and Hidden Threats

    **(Harold's POV)**I saw that tall figure beside Madam Evelyn and my blood froze. Recognition hit me like silver."Thomas Reed!" I snarled. "You dare return to our territory!"The wolf looked at me calmly. "Elder Foster, it's been a long hunt."His casual tone made my rage burn hotter. How dare he act so calm?"Territory guardians!" I barked. "Throw this territory-less omega out!"The guardians moved forward hesitantly. Thomas Reed simply smiled, making no move to resist.I didn't know this wolf wasn't actually Thomas Reed. My disconnection from Foster Pack business meant I was unaware of Alpha Evergreen's true identity."Remove this intruder!" I shouted.**(God's POV)**Madam Evergreen emerged with a sardonic smile."Harold, you look terrible," she said. "Go sit with your mistress instead of making a scene."Harold's anger flared. "I'll take his life myself!"Madam Evergreen pulled out a hunting knife. "He's right here. Cross him into the eternal hunting grounds if you're

  • Alpha's Regret After I Mated to His Brother   Pack Confrontations and Ancient Grudges

    **(Madam Evelyn's POV)**Diana Reed's face twisted with pure malice as she glared at me from across the charity hunt venue. Her painted claws gripped her champagne glass so tightly I thought it might shatter."You always were just my territory-less omega, Evelyn," she sneered, her voice dripping with false superiority. "Running around playing Alpha female when we both know what you really are."I felt Alpha Hale tense beside me, but I remained perfectly calm. Diana's desperation was showing more clearly with each passing moment."What did you eat tonight?" I replied coolly. "So much bad breath coming from your muzzle."Diana's face flushed red with rage, but she pressed on with her twisted narrative. "You know, I was thinking about the old days. Back when I had a proper mate bond - not like your pathetic arrangement with Harold."She began pacing in front of us, her voice taking on a dreamy quality. "There was this Alpha who absolutely worshipped me. He was called Edward Hayes th

  • Alpha's Regret After I Mated to His Brother   Pack Revelations and Hidden Threats

    **(Lucian's POV)**After Elara Rivers went to sleep, I sat alone in the living area of our den, my mind churning with the toxic encounter at the Pack Healer's Ward. The confrontation with Victor Thorne had revealed depths of hatred I hadn't fully comprehended until now.Victor had looked at me with undisguised murderous intent, his eyes burning with a fury that went beyond simple pack politics. The revelation had shaken me more than I cared to admit."You built Thorne Pack Enterprises with help from your maternal grandfather and mother," I had told him directly. "I'm the one who made the territory enterprise successful."Victor's response had been dismissive and condescending. "You are my son, you should listen to me."His arrogance was staggering. Here was a wolf who had systematically destroyed everything my mother had built, now demanding my obedience as if blood ties erased his betrayal."Apex Holdings is like a rogue wolf relentlessly attacking our pack," Victor had complain
