I ran back and forth, my heart beating loudly against my chest, while I swiveled around. Why did Orion just drop me here? What has happened to me?

_______

I grabbed my head within my two palms, and closed my ears, while I let out a loud piercing cry, and dropped to the floor on my knees.

"Why am I experiencing this now that I'm supposed to be over there helping my friends?!" I sat on the floor muttering, my shoulders sagged, and my chest tightening, like the thought of losing my friends was w

  • Bullied by my stepsister; Claimed by the Alpha    CHAPTER TWENTY

    ✓Kiergan The sun refused to rise. At least, that’s what it felt like. The sky overhead remained stained in a bruised twilight, the horizon bleeding with crimson streaks as if the earth itself had suffered a wound. No birds chirped. No breeze stirred. Everything was frozen—watching, waiting. I stood by the edge of the cliff where the owl had spoken to me, its final words echoing like a curse in my bones: “You must choose between loyalty and destiny.” And now, every breath I took tasted like ash. Joanna stood behind me, silent. She hadn’t asked what the owl said—hadn’t needed to. She knew something had shifted inside me. The others were still asleep, curled into the broken shelter we’d crafted from tree limbs and earth-rooted rocks. But my mind was elsewhere. “Do you think the Moon Goddess sent it?” I asked without turning around. Joanna’s voice came low and hoarse. “The owl?” “No. The message.” She hesitated. “The Moon Goddess doesn’t always speak in riddles… but when

  • Bullied by my stepsister; Claimed by the Alpha    CHAPTER NINETEEN

    ✓KierganI never thought pain could be this clarifying.The forest burned behind us. Every breath I took carried the scent of smoke, ash, and blood. Thane leaned heavily against me, his shoulder torn open from our last encounter with the werewolf sentries. Joanna supported Akira, who had barely spoken since her vision had passed. She was pale, trembling, but her eyes shimmered with eerie light—wisdom far beyond her age.“Are we safe here?” Joanna asked, crouching beside a massive boulder, partially hidden beneath the roots of a crooked old tree.“No,” I answered honestly. “But it’s the best we’ve got.”We’d escaped the coven’s prison, but barely. And with Orion gone…I shook the thought. The memory of his sacrifice—his howl as the witches descended, his eyes locked on mine as he closed the gate behind us—still burned brighter than the fire around us.Joanna moved to check on Thane’s wound, her hands surprisingly steady. I knelt beside Akira. Her small frame curled like a leaf, but whe

  • Bullied by my stepsister; Claimed by the Alpha    CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

    ✓ KierganThe ground beneath me shook—not with the force of an earthquake, but with something deeper. Something older.Thane was screaming. No—changing. His bones cracked like firewood as the curse from Tséyaa twisted him into something unholy. I tried to lunge forward, to reach him before it was too late, but invisible roots coiled around my ankles like serpents, locking me in place.“Thane!” I roared, the word tearing from my throat like a guttural command.His body spasmed. His eyes—once clear and sharp with loyalty—now shimmered obsidian. Veins of black fire crawled across his skin, turning him into a grotesque silhouette of himself. Wings, leathery and tattered, burst from his back, and horns began to sprout from his skull.“He made his choice,” Tséyaa whispered behind me, her breath cold against the nape of my neck. “Power has its price.”My fists clenched. I could feel my wolf scratching at the surface, howling inside my chest to be let out.Not yet, I told him. We need to see.

    ✓KierganThe smoke hadn’t even cleared before the grief settled into my bones like a frostbite that wouldn’t thaw.I stood there, trembling, eyes fixed on the spot where Orion had fallen—his blood still steaming on the scorched grass. His sacrifice had saved us. Saved me. And now, the guilt was clawing at my insides, more feral than any wolf that ever lived in me.“Move!” Joanna’s voice cracked, part scream, part sob. She was dragging Thane’s limp form away from the field, barely able to support his weight. Her golden hair was plastered to her face with blood and ash. “Kiergan, please!”But I couldn’t move. My feet were buried in the dirt like the roots of an ancient tree, and my mind screamed at me to run, to go back, to tear into the enemy again—even though they were all dead or scattered. All I could think about was Orion’s eyes, the way they had searched for mine in those final seconds, calm in the face of death.I failed him.Joanna screamed my name this time, not in anger but de

    ✓ KierganThe scream that left Thane’s mouth was unlike anything I had ever heard—not even the wolves howled that way. It tore through the air like a dying god’s roar, cracked and boiling with agony. His body convulsed under the black magic, limbs distorting and pulsing with unnatural light. His eyes, once amber and bold, now gleamed a sickly green, and his veins bulged like thorned roots beneath his skin.“Thane!” I surged forward, but the two guards—half-shadow, half-man—held me back with talon-like hands. My heart pounded, a war drum in my chest, as I watched my best friend collapse to his knees, claws erupting from his fingers, black horns curling from his head. Not wolf. Not man. Something… other.“What are you doing to him?!” Joanna screamed.The Head Witch’s voice came smooth and unbothered. “Fixing what should have never been broken. Power, dearest Joanna, always demands a shape. He offered himself, so I merely... reshaped him.”“You’re killing him!”“No,” she purred, “I’m fre

    ✓ KierganThe Head Witch reached me, crouching before me, and grabbed my chin, her sharp nails subtly digging into my skin. I winced quietly and tried to wriggle my head out of her grip, but my head remained still within her grip, unmoving. She was incredibly strong. She released my chin, and began to trace her finger across and about my face, her lips curved into a sinister smile. "You sure are a handsome one, little child. Just like I've been told." "What do you want with us?! Why are we here?" I asked, gritting my teeth to keep in check the repulse I felt as her fingers roamed my face. "You're at the right place, my darling." I scoffed. "I'm not dumb! Save that for your loyal dogs here!" She threw a slap across my face, and immediately took my cheeks between her palms, her eyes sympathizing, and sharp. Her hands were icy cold. "So sorry! So sorry, my darling." She said hurriedly, kissing her teeth, while she stood up, and began to walk back to her throne, her waist edging fro

  • Bullied by my stepsister; Claimed by the Alpha    WHEN SHADOWS TREMBLE

    ~RIYAThe silence that followed Nathaniel’s command felt like a thunderclap. For a moment, the entire forest froze, not even the wind dared to move. Nathaniel’s silver eyes were burning with a power I had never seen before. Thane stood stiffly at his side, barely breathing. The rest of the warriors

  • Bullied by my stepsister; Claimed by the Alpha    FIRE IN THE COUNCIL ROOM

    ~RIYAThe council room felt colder than usual, despite the torches burning along its curved walls. Maybe it was the tension—or maybe it was the presence of Ama, sitting with an eerie calm at the far end of the chamber. Her silver eyes flicked toward me as I entered, but she said nothing.I could he

    ~RIYAThe morning air hung thick with anticipation. Even before I opened my eyes, I could feel the change—subtle, yet potent. It wasn’t just the stillness of dawn or the whispers of the wind brushing through the trees. It was something deeper, something ancient, humming beneath my skin like a pulse

    ~RIYAThe crescent mark on my stomach pulsed beneath my fingers like a second heartbeat.I stood frozen in front of the mirror, the reflection staring back at me both familiar and alien. My long blonde hair framed my pale face like a glowing halo, but it was my eyes—those ocean-blue irises now ring
