Standing in the garden, the cool night air did little to soothe the storm brewing in Ivor’s mind. Alpha Jermain’s request was a dangerous gamble, one that threatened everything.

‘Damn! I’m already mated. How am I supposed to pull this off?’ raced through his mind.

Each breath filled his lungs with a bittersweet longing as he thought of Lilias, the fierce witch waiting for him back in Human Town. They didn’t know each other for long, their bond was forged by Royal decree, but he already loved her deeply.

‘No one but she can be my mate,’ he whispered to himself.

The thought of her waiting, unaware of the chaos unfolding in Woodcrest, knotted his stomach with unease. He imagined her fiery spirit, her vibrant energy, the loyalty she had promised him.

But Lilias wasn’t just anyone, she was a witch, gifted with the ability to see through deception like no other. If she ever found out that he had succumbed to the Alpha’s demand to seek a mate here, she wouldn’t hesitate to deal with him. Th

  • Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold   Chapter 28 – Echoes in the Night

    Alpha Female Zela’s Point of ViewThe night stretched before me like an open canvas, painted in shades of deep blue and shimmering silver.The lake mirrored the moon’s ethereal glow, each ripple carving hypnotic patterns in the stillness, an illusion of peace, mocking my inner turmoil. I had opted to stay behind while the Alpha and Chrissy attended the gaudy party at the packhouse. Parties were not for me at the moment, it would turn out to be a masquerade ball, where I’d be forced to don a mask of feigned joy while secretly scheming my escape.Here I was, a captive in Woodcrest, wrenched from my home, and every soul in that party was complicit in my captivity. No one would dare challenge Alpha Jermain, not even to spare me from his cruel scheme.As I stood on the shore, I tipped my chin toward the moon, my thoughts spiraled into a chaotic maelstrom.I had to act fast. My abduction had to be exposed before I became another pawn in Jermain’s twisted plans. But reaching out to my father

    Alpha Female Zela’s Point of ViewWith an unstoppable drive burning within me like wildfire, I urged my wolf, Era, forward toward the packhouse. Amanda sprinted alongside me, her wolf’s fur glistening under the moonlight, the weight of our shared secrets heavy upon us. We were bound by an unspoken urgency, the kind that comes only when you know the ground beneath you is about to shift.As we reached her home, Amanda dashed ahead, her heart racing as she headed for her bedroom. I watched her dive into preparations, packing clothes into her suitcase with an intensity that conveyed her desire to escape, much like someone fleeing a gathering storm.But the grief in her eyes betrayed the fear of abandoning the only life she'd known. Leaving friends and family behind for an unknown future was the hardest decision a werewolf could ever make. I wanted to offer comfort, to promise we’d meet again in Silver Bow, but the words caught in my throat.“I can’t believe I’m actually doing this,” she m

    As Alpha Jermain trailed a lingering kiss from the side of my face to the taut line of my jaw, a wave of disgust twisted in my stomach. He pressed his body against mine, ensuring I felt the hardness in his jeans.“Goddess, I’ve fantasized about this night for so long,” he murmured, his breath warm against my skin. “If the test results come out positive, I promise you, after tonight, you will only crave for my touch. You'll never want to leave my bed, no other man will have your attention and you’ll always yearning for the feeling of me deeply filling you. Babe, your scent is intoxicating.”Test results? The shock was immediate. Surely, he didn't mean... blood tests?Just then, the elevator doors opened, revealing the luxury of the living room before me. For a moment, I was taken aback by the extravagance that surrounded us.He scooped me up effortlessly and carried me to a sofa. Once he set me down, he slowly peeled off his dark coat, his eyes fixed on me with an intensity that ignite

    As our noses nearly touched, the Alpha tightened his grip in my hair.“Do you want to know what the big wheel is for?” he asked, a sinister gleam in his eye. My gaze darted past him to the old, rusted wheel hanging from a metal pole, seeming capable of spinning. Terrifying images from horror films flashed before my eyes, and I felt a chill creeping over me. Frightened, my eyes snapped back to the man before me.“No, you can’t possibly be planning to…,” I stammered.He chuckled, almost pleased with my reaction.“Don’t worry, it served a very different purpose,” he taunted me. “When the time comes, I will tell you all about it. After all, you will witness it for yourself.” I breathed a sigh of relief, unsure whether his words meant a stroke of luck or merely a delay in execution. One thing was now clear to me, behind the charismatic facade the Alpha presented, lay a true devil.He seized my wrist and pulled me back into the living room. He shoved me onto the sofa, where I collapsed like

    ‘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

    Ten minutes before midnight, the grand hall of the Eclipse Moon packhouse buzzed with energy, filled with whispers and the clinking of champagne flutes.The air was thick with excitement, as the rich scent of expensive colognes swirled around sharply dressed unmated Alphas and Alpha’s sons. They moved through the crowd like predators, their eyes shining with a hunger that clearly had nothing to do with the fancy hors d’oeuvres on the table. An electric tension hung in the air, hinting that the night was about to unfold its mysteries in a clash of power and desire. It was the night before my eighteenth birthday, the moment I was about to find my fated mate.I leaned against the bar, arms crossed, watching the posturing spectacle with a smirk tugging at my lips. Beside me, Andrea and Lilias were in stitches, barely able to contain their laughter as we surveyed the so-called crème de la crème of werewolf society. “Did you see how Victor from Silver Fang Pack adjuste

    In the calm of his room, Ivor paced anxiously, the rich decor becoming a hazy backdrop to his restless thoughts. He replays his meeting with Alpha Nerville, a nagging suspicion clawing at his thoughts, had the man betrayed Raul? If so, it was a reckless act, one Raul would never let slide without dire consequences. The evening's festivities loomed close, organized by Beta Aren, and Ivor knew it could be his only chance to find Zela.With resolve tightening within him, he activated the mind link with the Crown Prince.‘Ivor! Have you found her?’ Raul immediately asked with urgency.“I’m already in but haven’t seen Zela yet,” Ivor admitted, running a hand through his hair in frustration. “But listen to this. Alpha Jermain is marked and mated to a she-wolf named Chrissy. She doesn’t match Zela at all, and the bond they share feels genuine.”Raul’s confusion rippled through their connection. ‘What? Are you sure you’re not missing something? You need to be alert. Where could she be?’‘I’m
