The Hawthorne mansion buzzed with an energy that was both intoxicating and unsettling. In the living room, the four brothers sat together, a rare sight that spoke volumes of the gravity of the situation. Aiden leaned forward, his elbows resting on his knees, while Liam lounged back, a smug grin tugging at his lips. Matthew, calm and composed as always, tapped his fingers rhythmically against the armrest of his chair, and Zander stood by the window, staring out into the night with a scowl.โSheโs our mate,โ Aiden said finally, breaking the tense silence. His voice carried a mixture of awe and frustration, his hands clenched into fists.โNo,โ Liam corrected, his grin widening. โSheโs not just your mate. Sheโs our mate.โAiden shot him a glare. โThis isnโt something to joke about, Liam.โโIโm not joking,โ Liam said, his tone light but his eyes serious. โItโs the truth, whether you like it or not.โMatthew sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. โThis complicates everything. Sheโs our steps
The night was eerily quiet, the kind of silence that made Mia feel uneasy. She lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, unable to shake off the feeling that something was wrong. Her wolf stirred restlessly inside her, a sensation she hadnโt quite gotten used to. It was as if her instincts were trying to warn her of something.The distant sound of howling broke through the silence, sending a shiver down her spine. She bolted upright, her heart pounding. It wasnโt the playful howls sheโd occasionally heard in the woods. These were guttural, aggressive and warning of danger.Mia threw off the blanket and rushed to her window. The moonlit grounds of the Hawthorne estate stretched out before her, but what caught her attention was the shadowy movement near the treeline. Her breath hitched as figures began to emerge from the darkness wolves, but not like the ones sheโd seen before. Their eyes glowed with malice, and their massive forms moved with deadly intent.Her door burst open, and Aiden stor
The aftermath of the attack left a heavy silence over the Hawthorne estate. The once-vibrant yard was now marred with signs of the battle, broken furniture, and bloodstains that told stories of pain and struggle. Wolves, both in human and beast form, moved around, helping the injured and cleaning up the chaos. The air was thick with tension, grief, and an unspoken fear of what might come next.Mia stood on the side, her arms wrapped tightly around herself. Her clothes were torn, her body bruised, but it was the weight in her chest that hurt the most. She felt like she didnโt belong, like she had somehow been the cause of all this. Her wolf, restless and agitated, stirred within her, whispering words of comfort she couldnโt understand.โKeep moving! We need to secure the perimeter!โ Aidenโs commanding voice snapped through the stillness, jolting Mia from her thoughts. He stood tall and fierce, barking orders to the pack members, his eyes blazing with determination.Liam walked over to
Early in the morning, sunlight poured through the large windows of the dining hall, casting a golden glow over the polished wooden floors. The air seemed calm, but no one anticipated the storm that was about to hit.Sarah and Lord Victor entered the room hand-in-hand, their faces glowing with excitement. Mia was already seated at the dining table, quietly sipping her coffee, while the four brothers Aiden, Liam, Zander, and Matthew sat silently, their usual brooding demeanor filling the space.Victor cleared his throat, his deep voice breaking the silence. โWe have an announcement to make.โSarah beamed, her eyes twinkling as she glanced at Victor. โVictor and I have decided to get married,โ she said, her voice filled with happiness. โAnd the wedding is happening in a week!โThe brothers froze. Time seemed to stop for a moment. Aidenโs coffee cup hovered mid-air, Liamโs knife paused over his plate, and Zander, who rarely showed emotion, narrowed his eyes dangerously. Matthew leaned bac
Matthew stood in the doorway, his tall frame silhouetted against the dim light of the hall. His dark eyes flickered with something unreadable, a mix of frustration and something deeper, something softer. Mia didnโt know if she wanted to let him in or slam the door shut.โMia,โ he said again, his voice gentler this time.โWhat do you want, Matthew?โ Her voice wavered, betraying the storm of emotions she was trying so hard to hold back.โWe need to talk,โ he replied, stepping inside without waiting for an invitation.She crossed her arms, retreating a step. โAbout what? About how much you all hate me? About how you think my mom and I are ruining your lives?โMatthewโs jaw tightened, and he sighed, dragging a hand through his messy hair. โItโs not like that.โโThen what is it like?โ she snapped, her voice rising. โBecause from where Iโm standing, it sure feels like you all despise me.โHe closed the door behind him and leaned against it, his usual calm demeanor cracking. โMia, you donโt
Mia slammed her door shut and leaned her back against it, sliding down until she sat on the floor. Her heart was racing, her lips still tingling from Liamโs kiss. She touched them with trembling fingers, replaying the moment in her mind. The way he had grabbed her, his intensity, the heat of his breath it was too much. She buried her face in her hands, her emotions a tangled mess.โWhat is happening to me?โ she whispered to the empty room, her voice breaking.Her wolf stirred, urging her to embrace the connection she had been denying. But Mia shook her head firmly. "No," she muttered. "Momโs happiness comes first. I can't ruin it for her."Her motherโs laughter echoed faintly in her memory, a reminder of how rare those moments of joy were for Sarah. How could she, Mia, take that away from her by giving in to the chaos her stepbrothers stirred inside her?She stood up, pacing the room like a caged animal. โI just need to breathe,โ she whispered to herself, but the air felt too heavy, l
The alarm had barely faded when Aiden and Zander stormed outside, their faces hard with focus. The tension in the air was thick, and the growls of wolves in the distance sent a shiver down Mia's spine. Liam stayed behind, pacing the living room like a caged animal, while Matthew pulled Mia by the wrist toward a safer part of the house."Stay here," Matthew said firmly, his voice leaving no room for argument as he led her into the secure room on the far side of the mansion. The heavy door shut with a loud click, and he turned to face her, his expression serious."No, I can't stay here!" Mia snapped, her hands balled into fists. "Iโm not some fragile doll you can lock away while everyone else fights. I can help!""You donโt understand," Matthew said, his voice softening but his eyes still stern. "This isnโt just about protecting you. Itโs about keeping you alive. Rykerโs after you, Mia, and we canโt risk anything happening to you."Miaโs chest heaved with frustration. Her wolf was restl
The air in the room was heavy after the strangerโs ominous departure. No one moved for a moment, the silence broken only by the faint sound of the door clicking shut behind him. Miaโs heart raced as the reality of his words settled into her mind.Ryker wasnโt going to stop. He would come for her, no matter the cost, no matter who got in his way. And now, her family was in danger because of her.Aiden was the first to break the silence, his voice sharp as a blade. โWe need to fortify the perimeter immediately. No one gets in or out without us knowing.โZander nodded, already heading toward the phone to call their guards. โIโll double the patrols. Weโre not taking any chances.โLiam turned toward Mia, his jaw clenched. โYou should go upstairs. Stay in your room until we figure this out.โMia stared at him, her frustration bubbling to the surface. โIโm not hiding again, Liam! This is my fight too.โLiam stepped closer, his eyes blazing. โItโs not your fight! Itโs our fight to protect you
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 Victorโs 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

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 Victorโs 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 Miaโs weakened state.โMia!โ she gasped, running to her. Her hands trembled as she cupped Miaโs face, her eyes filling with tears.Mia, still weak, managed a small smile. โMomโฆโSarah pulled her into a tight hug, her body shaking. โI was so scared, my child. Youโฆ.โ Her voice broke. โYou almostโฆโโIโm okay,โ Mia whispered, though her body said otherwise.Sarah wasnโt convinced. Her gaze fell on Emma, and suddenly, she stiffened.Emmaโs bracelet.Sarah reached for Emmaโs hand, her fingers brushing over the bracelet. A sharp gasp escaped her lips.โDear,โ Sarah whispered, her eyes wide with realization. โNever remove this bracelet.โ Her hand moved to Emmaโ
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 โฆ..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 Rykerโs eyes. Without a word, he moved forward, his legs weak but determined.โEmmaโฆโ His voice was rough, raw from battle.She gasped softly, tears spilling over as she tried to sit up. โRykerโฆโHe 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. Emmaโs fingers tangled in his blood-matted hair, trembling as she pressed a kiss to his forehead.โI thought I lost you,โ Ryker murmured, his voice thick with emotion.Emma cupped his face, her thumb brushing against the bruises on his cheek. โYou
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 Liamโs 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 Liamโs 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. Matthewโs swift agility allowed him to dodge and counter before his enemies could blink. Liamโs 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 Iโm not walking away. Iโm here to end you. And once youโre 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 Rykerโs heart, and now it was within his grasp. With every drop of black magic seeping into Emmaโs soul, she was slipping further into his hold.โThe process is nearly complete,โ 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. โFinish it before I return. I want her fully under my control before Ryker has the chance to interfere.โThe Witch Queenโs eyes gleamed with amusement as she met his gaze. โYou underestimate the bond between mates, Lucian. Even in pain, even when sheโs on the brink of
