Aiden couldnât sleep. The night was quiet, but his mind was loud. His thoughts kept circling back to Mia. Every time he closed his eyes, her face appeared, her soft features, her bright eyes, and the way she had smiled at him earlier. It was enough to drive him insane.He got out of bed, pacing the length of his room. His wolf stirred within him, restless and agitated. It had been whispering to him all day, urging him to go to her, to make sure she was safe, to stay by her side. Aiden ran a hand through his hair, growling under his breath. She was in her room, just a few steps away. She was fine. He didnât need to check on her. But the pain was unbearable.âDamn it,â he muttered, unable to fight it any longer. He grabbed a shirt, throwing it on as he quietly left his room.The hallway was dark, the moonlight spilling through the windows casting a faint glow. Aidenâs footsteps were silent as he reached Miaâs door. He hesitated for a moment, his hand hovering over the doorknob. Was he c
The sun had barely risen, spreading a soft glow through the curtains of Mia's room. She was curled up on her bed, scrolling through her phone absentmindedly when it buzzed with an incoming video call. Her heart leaped when she saw the name flashing on the screen: David.She hesitated for a moment before answering. Davidâs familiar face appeared on the screen, his warm smile lighting up the frame. âMia! Finally, you picked up,â he said, his tone teasing but affectionate.âHey, David,â she said softly, her lips curving into a smile. Seeing him brought a strange comfort, like a piece of her old life had resurfaced.âYouâve been avoiding me, havenât you?â he asked, leaning closer to the camera. âWhatâs going on over there? Donât tell me your new familyâs keeping you too busy for me.âMia laughed lightly, though her cheeks flushed. âNo, itâs not like that. Things have just beenâĶ different, thatâs all.ââDifferent how?â David pressed, his brows knitting in concern. âYou donât sound like you
The buzzing of his phone on the nightstand jolted David awake. Groggily, he squinted at the screen, his heart skipping a beat when he saw Miaâs name on the call log from earlier. He had spent the past few weeks missing her like crazy, and though their brief conversation had been cut short, it was enough to bring a smile to his face. She had looked beautiful, even though the tiny camera lens was more mature, though a hint of something had seemed off.He sat up in bed, the early morning sunlight spilling through the window. His dorm room was small but cozy, with posters of his favorite bands and books cluttering the shelves. It was his sanctuary, but lately, it felt empty. Ever since Mia had moved in with her new family, there had been a void he couldnât ignore.David ran a hand through his messy hair, grabbing his phone and scrolling through their messages. There werenât many recent ones, and it bothered him. He had always been her escape, her confidant. But now, it felt like she was s
The night had turned colder, and Davidâs hands were shoved deep into his jacket pockets as he walked aimlessly through the campus. The streetlights,the faint hum of crickets filled the quiet. But none of it caught in Davidâs mind. His thoughts were surrounded by Mia by her voice, her face, and the distance between them that felt wider than ever. He stopped under a tree, staring up at the half-moon. It reminded him of the nights he and Mia used to stay up talking about everything: her dreams, her frustrations, her fears. Back then, he had been the one person she could count on, the one who truly understood her. But now? Now, it felt like she was slipping through his fingers, and he didnât know how to hold on. David leaned against the tree, his head falling back as he let out a frustrated sigh. âWhatâs happening to you, Mia?â he muttered under his breath. âWhy wonât you let me in?â The memory of their video call played on repeat in his mind. The way she had smiled at him it had bee
David paced his small dorm room, still clutching the photo of him and Mia. His thoughts were racing, trying to make sense of everything. He wanted answers, but he knew Mia wouldnât open up so easily. Whatever she was dealing with, she was determined to face it alone, even if it was killing her inside.At the same time, Rykerâs plan was already in motion. Heâd seen the bond between Mia and David the easy way they interacted, the way she relaxed around him in a way she never did with anyone else. He knew David was her soft spot, the one person sheâd never willingly abandon. And if there was one thing Ryker was good at, it was exploiting weakness.Standing in the shadows outside Davidâs dorm, Ryker pulled out his phone and called Zander. His tone was casual but held a hint of mockery. âYou should see your little petâs best friend,â Ryker drawled. âHeâs a mess. Pacing around like heâs got the weight of the world on his shoulders.âZanderâs voice on the other end was clipped. âStay away fr
David couldnât shake off the feeling of dread that settled in his chest. After the call ended, the silence in his room was deafening. His phone lay on the bed beside him, the screen dark and still. His mind raced with the implications of what Ryker had said. He was being watched. There was no escaping that fact.The thought of Mia kept him awake, twisting in his gut. He couldnât even look at her without thinking about the strings Ryker had attached to him. She was caught in the middle of something dangerous, something beyond their control, and David felt powerless to protect her.A knock at his door snapped him out of his thoughts.âDavid? Are you okay in there?â It was Emma, his younger sister. Her voice was soft, a little hesitant, but filled with concern.David quickly wiped his face with his hand, trying to shake off the emotions that threatened to overwhelm him. âYeah, Iâm fine, Em,â he called out, his voice hoarse. âJust tired, thatâs all.âEmmaâs voice came again, quieter this

The grand ballroom of the luxury hotel shimmered under golden chandeliers, the scent of expensive wine and fresh roses lingering in the air. The business conference had ended an hour ago, and now, the guests mingled, toasting to new partnerships and deals that would shape the future. Lord Victor Hawthorne stood tall, his presence commanding respect. His sharp, calculating eyes scanned the room as he listened to an investor speak about expanding into the European market. Beside him, Sarah held a glass of champagne, smiling politely at the conversation. She had always been good at playing the role of a sophisticated business woman, but tonight, something felt off. A strange uneasiness gnawed at her, making her fingers tighten around the glass. She had been away from home for days now. Though Mia had assured her she was fine before she left, a motherâs heart never rested. The thought of her daughter alone, surrounded by dangers she couldnât see, made her restless. Victor sensed her
THE END The night was calm, the stars stretching across the sky like tiny silver flames, watching over the world in silent approval. The war was over. The battles, the bloodshed, and the pain were all in the past now. What remained was a future built on love, trust, and unity. Mia stood on the grand balcony of the royal palace, looking over the vast lands that now belonged to her and her mates. The werewolf world had finally found peace. Ryker was defeated, his dark reign nothing more than a distant memory. The truth of his lineage had been revealed he was Lord Victorâs illegitimate son, hidden away in the shadows for years. But unlike Victor, Ryker had chosen the path of destruction, and that path had led to his downfall. Now, as the dust settled, Ryker stood before Lord Victor, holding his newborn daughter in his arms. Emma stood beside him, her gaze soft yet firm, her heart full of hope for a new beginning. Ryker was no longer the ruthless man who had once sought pow
( NOTE: 18+ Ahead read at your own risk) My breasts throbbed and so did my insides as he rammed deeper and deeper regardless of how many times he had come inside me. I had lost count. Punishing me for something he himself couldn't understand. I begged. Pleaded. But it didn't matter. His hands gripped my waist, pulling me closer with every thrust, until I thought I might break.It was relentless. Bruising. He had no mercy, no restraint. He wanted to take it. And I let him. Cause that's all a vulnerable woman like me could do. The bed creaked beneath us, but it wasn't enough. His rage spilled out. We crashed onto the floor, then the couch, until I was pressed against the cold glass of the window. My skin seared from the icy touch of the pane. Yet he only pressed harder.Pain is the price of betrayal, they say.And I was paying in full.There was no escape. His punishment was for both of us. Every thrust, every bruise, his wrath, his desire.The harder he went, the more his control s

Matthew gasped in surprise as Liam's tongue boldly slid between her lips, starting from the bottom and licking its way up to a small nub at the top. "You enjoy that, don't you,Mia," Liam moaned, firmly grasping her thighs. "You taste just as sweet as I dreamed about you ." Said Matthew breathed heavily, Mia's chest rising and falling rapidly in anxious breaths as Liam once again moved his tongue between her honeypot before gently sucking her clit into his mouth. "You taste sooo mia, I want to fuck you so damn hard," Liam growled. He wrapped his arms around her shivering thighs and pressed his face against her G-spot. Mia struggled to find something to hold onto, desperately. However, Matthew held her tightly, caressing her breasts and nibbling on her neck, marking his dominance. His thumb gently brushed against the stomach, cruel. She
The journey back to Victorâs villa was silent, heavy with exhaustion and unspoken emotions. The battle was over, but the scars it left both physical and emotional would take much longer to heal.As soon as they arrived, Sarah rushed out of the villa, her face pale with worry. Her eyes frantically scanned the group, pausing when she saw Miaâs weakened state.âMia!â she gasped, running to her. Her hands trembled as she cupped Miaâs face, her eyes filling with tears.Mia, still weak, managed a small smile. âMomâĶâSarah pulled her into a tight hug, her body shaking. âI was so scared, my child. YouâĶ.â Her voice broke. âYou almostâĶââIâm okay,â Mia whispered, though her body said otherwise.Sarah wasnât convinced. Her gaze fell on Emma, and suddenly, she stiffened.Emmaâs bracelet.Sarah reached for Emmaâs hand, her fingers brushing over the bracelet. A sharp gasp escaped her lips.âDear,â Sarah whispered, her eyes wide with realization. âNever remove this bracelet.â Her hand moved to Emmaâ
Ryker staggered through the hospital doors, his body trembling with exhaustion. Blood dripped from his shoulder, soaking through his torn shirt, but he barely noticed the pain. His eyes searched the room desperately âĶ..Emma.And then he saw her.Emma lay on the hospital bed, her pale face turning toward him. Relief flooded her features, but it was nothing compared to the sheer devotion and longing in Rykerâs eyes. Without a word, he moved forward, his legs weak but determined.âEmmaâĶâ His voice was rough, raw from battle.She gasped softly, tears spilling over as she tried to sit up. âRykerâĶâHe collapsed onto his knees beside the bed, his head dropping against her stomach. His arms wrapped around her, holding her as if she might disappear. Emmaâs fingers tangled in his blood-matted hair, trembling as she pressed a kiss to his forehead.âI thought I lost you,â Ryker murmured, his voice thick with emotion.Emma cupped his face, her thumb brushing against the bruises on his cheek. âYou
The battlefield was chaos, blood, growls, and the clash of fangs and claws filled the air. The stench of death mixed with the metallic tang of blood as bodies fell one after another.Ryker, Liam, and Matthew stood at the center, their bodies drenched in sweat and blood, yet their energy was far from drained. The vampires surrounding them were fast and ruthless, but they were no match for three enraged Alphas.A blood-curdling howl escaped Liamâs throat as he shifted into his massive black wolf, his fur bristling with raw power. Without hesitation, he lunged at the nearest vampire, his jaws locking around its throat. The creature screamed, its skin burning under Liamâs lethal bite before turning to ash.Matthew followed suit, his enormous grey wolf slamming into a group of vampires, sending them flying. He clawed through them mercilessly, his silver eyes glowing in the dark. One vampire tried to escape, but Matthew was faster. He caught it mid-air, crushing its skull with his powerful
The battlefield was drenched in blood, the scent of war thick in the air. Ryker fought like a beast unleashed, his claws slashing through enemies without hesitation. Every strike sent vampires flying, their bodies crumbling under his raw power. His eyes glowed with rage, his wolf pushing for control as he tore through the army that dared to invade his land.Liam, Matthew moved in perfect sync, their brother bond stronger than ever. Matthewâs swift agility allowed him to dodge and counter before his enemies could blink. Liamâs brute strength made each attack lethal, Charles' sharp instincts ensured no vampire got too close. Aiden, however, fought with fury unlike before his movements driven by an emotion he refused to name.Matthew was a force of nature, his claws drenched in blood as he ripped through vampires like they were nothing. His deep growl sent shivers down the spines of their enemies. "You dare challenge an Alpha in his domain?" he roared, snapping the neck of the last fooli
The battlefield roared with chaos, the air thick with the scent of blood and burning flesh. The war had reached its peak, and Ryker stood at the heart of it, his eyes locked onto Lucian, the vampire prince who had planned this bloodshed war. The two powerful Alphas, one of the wolves and one of the vampires, stood face to face, their hatred for each other burning hotter than the flames consuming the pack lands.Lucian smirked, his crimson eyes glowing under the blood moon. "Look at you, Alpha Ryker. Desperate. Weak. Losing everything you've sworn to protect."Ryker clenched his fists, his claws elongating. "You think this is over, Lucian? You think I'll let you walk away after what you've done?"Lucian let out a dark chuckle. "Oh, but Iâm not walking away. Iâm here to end you. And once youâre gone, Emma will be mine. Your precious Luna, the mother of your heir, she's already half mine. The dark magic is working its way through her veins as we speak. She will submit, Ryker. Just like y
Lucian stood in the center of his dimly lit chamber, his crimson eyes fixed on the image of Emma writhing in pain within the magical orb. A twisted smirk played on his lips. He had spent years planning this, waiting for the perfect moment to strike at Rykerâs heart, and now it was within his grasp. With every drop of black magic seeping into Emmaâs soul, she was slipping further into his hold.âThe process is nearly complete,â the Witch Queen murmured, her voice like silk laced with venom. She stood over a large, ancient tome, her fingers dancing over the pages as she chanted in the forbidden tongue. Dark energy swirled around her, feeding off the torches that lined the walls.Lucian turned to her, his voice cold as ice. âFinish it before I return. I want her fully under my control before Ryker has the chance to interfere.âThe Witch Queenâs eyes gleamed with amusement as she met his gaze. âYou underestimate the bond between mates, Lucian. Even in pain, even when sheâs on the brink of
