Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold Chapter 15 – The Threat Unfolds
Crown Prince Raul’s Point of View stillA thick silence filled the room, heavy and suffocating like the air had turned solid. The elderly sat frozen in their seats, their wide eyes showing pure dread. It felt as if time had stopped entirely. Alpha Gene broke the stillness. His face twisted with an anger that seemed to pour out of him. He leapt from his chair, grabbed my shoulders, and held on so tight it felt like my bones might snap. “He dared... That filth dared to take my daughter!” he growled, his words dripping with fury and desperation. “Gene, calm yourself,” my father said firmly, though I could see the worry in his eyes. The situation was serious, and even he couldn’t hide his feelings. “Calm myself?” Alpha Gene roared, his hands gripping harder, his breathing uneven. “If Jermain so much as touches Zela, I’ll start a war with Woodcrest that’ll make the ancient battles look like child’s play! I’ll bring my son back from Council training, and

The hours dragged on, each minute stretching into an eternity as we waited for Walther's return.The tension in the room was a tangible presence, a suffocating weight that pressed down on us all. My parents and the Alpha couple, usually people who always stay calm, were visibly strained. Alpha Gene paced back and forth like a caged predator, his movements restless and agitated. His Luna and my mother tried to find peace by drinking endless cups of herbal teas but their nervous sips, strained expressions and trembling hands did little to hide their inner turmoil. My father, always stoic and composed, sat behind his desk. His gaze was distant, his brow furrowed, and his hand occasionally smoothed his mustache, a habit that betrayed his unease.Walther, ever the pragmatist, had chosen to travel in his Lycan form, believing he could save precious time by taking a direct route through the forest. He had insisted on traveling alone, confident in his own strength and skill to overcome any o

Alpha Female Zela’s Point of ViewThe ride to Woodcrest was a blur, the high speed of the car rendering the scenery outside into streaks of dark green and gray.I sat stiffly in my seat, my fists clenched at my sides. As the tall gates of Woodcrest loomed ahead, they swung open just long enough for our vehicle to streak through before slamming shut behind us. The metallic clang echoed in my chest, a finality that felt like the sealing of a tomb.This isn’t the end, I reminded myself, forcing my breathing to steady.Fear threatened to creep in, but I shoved it aside. I couldn’t afford to break down now. Although, no one would notice my disappearance, not yet at least, as I had purposefully cut off contact with my friends in the pack, not wanting them to suffer for my choices.The thought of the Crown Prince flitted into my mind.Raul. Would he even look for me? Or would my absence release him from whatever hold the bond had on him? I replayed Lilias's words in my head, ‘he already has

A sharp knock at my bedroom door startled me awake in the early hours of the morning.I groaned, still heavy with sleep, my body unwilling to relinquish the last remnants of slumber. Rubbing my eyes, I tried to shake off the lingering fog of night.“Sweetheart, it’s me. Open the door,” came the Alpha’s low, familiar whisper from the other side. “There’s a button on the wall, you don’t even have to get out of bed.”I glanced over to find a set of buttons above the bedside table, just as he had mentioned.The adjoining screen clearly displayed the security system. Even though I now had the means to let him in without physically moving, the thought of having him here in the bedroom while I lay defenseless in bed made me shiver. So, I threw off the warm covers and reached for the bathrobe I’d found in the walk-in closet the night before. Its soft fabric offered some comfort, but I felt anything but secure as the lock of the door clicked open.The Alpha entered quickly, his eyes scanning m

As we stepped into the dining room, Chrissy already awaited us.With her sharp eyes first locked onto the Alpha, a silent, tense exchange passing between them, before turning to scrutinize me, her gaze passing on every detail.“Zela, are you scavenging for the crumbs I left behind?” she quipped, her tone laced with undisguised malice. “Trust me, I never leave anything unfinished. He won’t be able to satisfy you today, or any other day.”I ignored her barbed remark, sinking into a chair with nonchalance.I watched with detached interest as she claimed her place beside the Alpha at the head of the long, massive table. Her proprietary air, the way she settled into her role as the Alpha’s mate, did not bother me a bit, she could have him for all I care. The Alpha belonged to her in every way I had no intention of contesting, a fact I intended to make abundantly clear to everyone.The aroma of the dishes wafted towards me, a tantalizing blend of spices and roasted meat, and my mouth watere

"Zela, what’s going on with your scent? Something’s different. I first noticed it on your birthday, but now that you're closer to me, it's unmistakable. It’s not the same as it used to be.”I cleared my throat, stalling for time to come up with an appropriate answer.The potion hadn’t merely weakened the mate bond, it had diminished my own ability to scent other wolves too. Ordinary wolves wouldn’t be able to detect me as one of their kind anymore, but sitting next to me was an Alpha, one from an elite bloodline at that. It was inevitable that he would notice the change.And of course, I couldn’t tell him the truth.My mind raced to find a suitable explanation for his question.“I don’t know what you mean, Alpha,” I replied calmly. “Perhaps it has something to do with the humans or my coming of age. Both my wolf and I are adults now, and hormonal changes come with that.”“Stop making up nonsense!” a sharp remark came from behind. “I turned eighteen too, and my scent hasn’t changed. Th

Crown Prince Raul’s Point of View The sight of Ivor and Lilias glued together was nothing short of unsettling, igniting a burning jealousy within me that I had never felt before.This witch had practically claimed my Secretary as her prize for aiding us in our covert infiltration of Woodcrest, and then they had disappeared into the forest, laughter and whispers flowing between them like they were destined mates. She had requested some rare herbs only found in our woods, and after a dramatic inspection of our kitchen, she ultimately declared it suitable for brewing her potion.From my father’s office window, I observed them with a growing sense of envy.Ivor, usually as stoic as a stone gargoyle, had his arm possessively draped around her waist, defending her like a sacred treasure. This all left me dumbfounded. I had always known him to be attracted to fragile, chestnut-haired beauties, those delicate flowers who seemed like they’d crumble in a gust.Bu

As soon as we entered the fast-food restaurant in Human Town, I was overwhelmed by the delicious smells of greasy and sugary food. The sound of people chatting filled the air, a sharp contrast to the tense silence we had in the SUV. My stomach growled loudly, reminding me that I hadn’t eaten a decent meal in a long time.Ivor pointed to the long line at the cash register.There were many humans waiting, mixed with a few wolves trying to blend in. Everyone was eager to get food during their lunch break."Looks like it’ll be a while," he sighed with a hint of impatience. "I should get in line and order before it gets too crowded."Lilias chose a massive salad that was vibrant and fresh, standing out against the greasy options on the menu. She also took a slice of apple pie and a healthy smoothie. Although I found the peculiar eating habits of witches somewhat intriguing, the notion that her obsession with vegetables was a way to stay connected to nature struck me as absolute nonsense.

Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold Chapter 40 – A Gathering Storm
Just as the atmosphere threatened to fall into an uncomfortable awkwardness, Luna Chrissy burst into the room.Intense fury contorted her features, and upon sighting Lilias seated there, her eyes turned to slits of pure dislike. However, her purpose was likely to lie elsewhere, for she immediately turned her attention towards her mate."Jermain!" she shrieked, her voice carrying the shrillness of a market vendor in distress. "That female has fled, and you sent out warriors to get her back? For what reason? Permit her to go if that is her desire, we have no need of her presence here."The Alpha sprang from his seat and hastened towards the glowing Luna. He seized her upper arm as he gazed upon her with feigned tenderness."My Luna," he coaxed, his tone soothing yet possessing an underlying edge of calculation. "Do not agitate yourself. You bear my mark, I am yours. You are cognizant of the plan; it is for the collective welfare of us all. Allow me to have at least one son with her, the

Royal Secretary Ivor’s Point of View "Iwan, quite conveniently, during your visit, my beloved second Luna went missing. Is this all truly a coincidence, or is there a connection? And don’t try to sell me that story about collecting a reward, I stopped believing that a long time ago."The Alpha’s words underscored his deep-seated distrust of me. He had, in truth, always made it evident, but now events were conspiring to create a situation that was decidedly working against me. The Beta, during our brief confrontation, had already discerned that my strength surpassed that of an ordinary werewolf, exceeding even that of a high-ranking member such as himself. From his direction, too, I could feel the palpable threat coming.Lilias's presence had thrown me into a state of extreme vulnerability. The situation had become profoundly perilous, and I felt the walls closing in. Her arrival could not have been more ill-timed.My gaze remained fixed on her, the way
Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold Chapter 38 – The Price of Freedom
Within moments, we approached a grand yacht anchored a few miles offshore. As Lorainne maneuvered the small speedboat alongside it, an unexpected surge of excitement bubbled inside me despite the racing thoughts in my head. This was not just any yacht, it was a floating palace, obviously an exclusive design.Once aboard, Lorainne ushered me inside, her confidence wrapping around me like a warm blanket.“You’ll be safe here,” she assured as she led me into the lavish living room featuring plush furniture and expansive windows that overlooked the shimmering sea. “We’ll stay here for a month until it’s safe to go back wherever you want.”I blinked in disbelief. “A month? Why this long?”“Because,” she said, crossing her arms and leaning against the wall with a serious expression, “we need to ensure my brother-in-law isn’t on your trail. He really wants you back, there are about a hundred warriors on the lookout for you.”I inhaled sharply, allowing the lush surroundings to sink in, yet
Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold Chapter 37 – Into the Unknown
Alpha Female Zela’s Point of ViewThe moment I realized I was being followed, a cold dread gripped my chest.The way the air in the forest shifted, sending small animals scattering for their lives, told me it wasn’t the Alpha or anyone from Woodcrest. Only someone with immense authority and terrifying strength could cause such a reaction.Raul.Even without the bond, his presence resonated through my spirit, sending a warmth that felt suffocating rather than comforting. It wrapped around me like a noose, tightening as I flew through the dense woods. Iwan, Ivor, Royal Secretary or whatever his name was, had said Raul was still in Human Town.Negative!My pulse thundered in my ears, impatience coursing through my veins. I had no clear path to safety, I was caught between the familiar threat of Woodcrest and the unknown dangers of the wilderness. Running from the Crown Prince was dangerous but staying in that pack meant surrender and surrender to be offered for my bloodline was never an
Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold Chapter 36 – Colliding Paths
Crown Prince Raul’s Point of ViewI unleashed every ounce of my Lycan abilities to track Zela.At this moment, the mate bond offered me no assistance in any way, somehow, it was disabled on her end. I had to rely solely on my own strength. As the Lycan Crown Prince of the werewolves, I could, with Slade’s help, utilize the global mind link, but I knew it would demand a vast amount of my energy. I had to be sparing with it.Slade sniffed the air several times as we raced toward the river.If she reached that point, there would be no escape for her, I would have her cornered. Goddess, I have to persuade my woman of my good intentions this time, I truly do not want to hurt her. I needed to understand why she had left me that morning. We had shared something beautiful, it had been perfect. Had she stayed, we would have been fully mated and blissfully happy by now. I had so many dreams for us before we were ready to ascend the throne, now held by my father. Finally, after w
Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold Chapter 35 – The Chase Begins
In the Woodland Forest … "Do you even realize what you've done?" Ivor roared in his mate's face. "Why do you keep chasing me? I don't have time to play with you."Furious, he glared at the woman as he dragged her toward the packhouse.There was no point in going after Zela anymore. His only hope was that Raul could catch her in time. He had been so close, if he had managed to follow Zela and convince her that Raul truly cared for her and was desperately searching, he would have already been on his way to Human Town, to Lilias.After the two had worked things out, they could all set off for the Kingdom.After this assignment was done, he and Lilias could finally hold their mating ceremony, a moment he had dreamt of endlessly these last days. He would mark her, binding her to him. She was his destiny, his impossible love turned real.The thought of holding her, of whispering his devotion against her naked skin, sent warmth flooding through him. He couldn't wait to have
Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold Chapter 34 – Tangled Bonds
‘Raul! I lost her again!’ Ivor exclaimed, frustration rising in his voice.He reached for the mind link to report the situation to the Crown Prince. As he looked at Arlette, his eyes burned with anger. He despised her carelessness, which had led to this disastrous outcome. He had Zela under control, but now everything went south after this interruption.‘How could this have happened?’ Raul's burst through the link with annoyance. ‘Can you tell me your precise location on the border? Maybe I can intercept her.’‘The west side,’ Ivor informed him quickly. ‘Her wolf is golden-brown, and she ran toward the river. She shouldn't be too far on that side. I got the feeling she didn't know where she was running to.’And then, he made a rough sound in his throat. ‘There’s something I need to tell you, Raul,’ Ivor continued slightly agitated. ‘There’s a she-wolf here claiming me as her fated mate. But because of the potion, my ability to scent her is gone. She is
Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold Chapter 33 – The Ties That Bind
Beta Aren immediately released Ivor, intending to go after Zela.With the Alpha occupied with... private matters, the responsibility for the second Luna now rested entirely on him. But before he could take a step, he was stopped by a force that far surpassed his own.Ivor.Aren barely had time to register the threat before Ivor seized him by the collar, his grip unnervingly strong. Shock flickered across the Beta’s face as he struggled against the man’s unrelenting hold, his disbelief apparent in his wide-eyed stare.He summoned his Beta strength, twisting violently in an effort to break free. He failed, for the second time. Before he could react, Ivor’s hand closed around his throat, slamming him against the wall. The impact stole the breath from his lungs.“Who... who are you? How do you possess such strength?” the Beta gasped, desperate for air.Ivor released just a fraction of his Lycan energy, allowing it to seep into the room. The moment it struck, Aren’s jaw sl
Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold Chapter 32 – The Chase and the Choice
‘Raul! I found her!’ Ivor’s voice exploded through the mind link, bursting with excitement again.‘Zela! She’s here in Woodcrest! I saw her, standing right in front of me, looking straight at me!’ Raul jolted upright in bed, adrenaline surging through the thick fog of sleeplessness that had plagued him for too many nights. Zela’s absence had been a relentless shadow, haunting him like a ghost, and now, a flicker of hope ignited in his chest, illuminating the darkness that had settled over him since she disappeared. ‘Did you talk to her? What did she say? Has she acknowledged I was her mate?’ Each word echoed with eagerness, a reflection of the desperation in his heart. ‘Bring her to the border. I’ll wait for you both there!’ ‘She left the ballroom with Jermain,’ Ivor replied, tension threading through his words like a taut bowstring ready to snap. ‘He confronted her when he caught her looking at me. She’s terrified of him, Raul. I’m certain he’s holding her against her will.’ I
