~Aiden

Morning came quietly.

Too quietly.

I woke to pale light slipping through the curtains, painting thin silver lines across the ceiling. For a moment … just one fragile moment … I didn’t remember anything. My body felt rested. My breathing was steady. The ache in my limbs was gone, like sleep had tried to be kind to me.

Then reality returned.

Not all at once.

It crept in slowly, like cold water climbing up my spine.

Nadia.

The bond.

Lucian.

My father.

My chest tightened before my

  • Daddy Alpha, Take Me    Whatever Happens

    ~DamianThe knives sank in.The movement had been swift, decisive…perfect. For a fraction of a second, everything aligned exactly as it should. The resistance, the sudden shift in the air, the violent reaction of the car as control slipped. I could almost feel it…the moment where everything tipped in my favor.Aiden’s body jerked forward. The seer stilled. Malakai lunged for the wheel, his voice sharp as he struggled to regain control. And then…Everything stopped. The sound vanished, the motion disappeared. And in the next instant, I was no longer leaning forward. There were no knives in my hands. No chaos. No loss of control.Just silence.Cold, still, suffocating silence.My back was pressed firmly against the seat, my hands resting exactly where they had been all along… Empty. Motionless. Untouched.The car was steady. Perfectly steady.No screeching tires. No struggle. No blood.Nothing.Only the low, consistent hum of the engine and the quiet stretch of road ahead. My eyes shif

  • Daddy Alpha, Take Me    Expose or be Disposed

    ~DamianThe room felt too quiet.Not the peaceful kind of quiet that came with age and routine, but something else…something unsettled, like a note slightly out of tune in an otherwise familiar melody.I sat in my wheelchair near the window, my fingers resting lightly against the armrest as my gaze drifted across the room. Everything was exactly where it should be. Nothing appeared out of place.And yet… Something was.“Malakai,” I called, my voice calm but edged with a faint impatience. “Have you seen my phone?”There was a brief pause before he answered from across the room. “No. I thought it was with you.”“It should be,” I replied, my eyes narrowing slightly. “I had it last night.”Malakai stepped closer now, his expression sharpening as he began to look around more deliberately. “Maybe you left it somewhere else.”I didn’t respond immediately because I knew I hadn’t.“I need it,” I said instead, more firmly this time. “Now.”Not just for convenience but for confirmation. Zarek wo

  • Daddy Alpha, Take Me    According to Plan

    ~AidenThe first thing I did when I woke up was reach under my pillow.My fingers brushed against the smooth surface of the phone almost immediately, exactly where I had left it the night before. I pulled it out slowly, my eyes still adjusting to the pale morning light filtering through the curtains, and stared at the screen for a brief moment as if expecting something to have changed overnight.It hadn’t. Everything was still there…untouched, unmoved.Just as I had planned.A quiet breath slipped past my lips as I sat up, the weight that had settled in my chest the night before still present, though steadier now…less sharp, more controlled. There was no rush of relief, no visible reaction. Just confirmation.I set the phone down beside me and swung my legs off the bed, rising to my feet without hesitation. My movements were calm, deliberate, each step carrying the quiet certainty of someone who already knew how the day would unfold.There was still one more thing to confirm.I crosse

  • Daddy Alpha, Take Me    Truth Call

    ~AidenI waited until the sound of their feet on the bushes as they ran away with the decoy faded. For hours, I had remained hidden, unmoving, watching as the trap I set unfolded exactly as intended. The moment they took the core, I did not follow. I did not interfere.None of the guards did too.The outcome had already been decided long before they arrived. Now, the clearing stood quiet again.Empty. Deceptively so.I stood up and moved away from the tree slowly, my boots barely making a sound against the earth as I crossed into the open space. The place where the Moonstone core had been kept…where the decoy had rested so convincingly just some minutes ago. But now it sat bare, the reinforced casing left behind as nothing more than an abandoned shell.A faint, almost imperceptible smirk touched my lips.They had taken it… exactly as expected. Exactly as planned. I stopped just across from the stand, my gaze resting on it for a moment longer than necessary, as though replaying the sce

  • Daddy Alpha, Take Me    Fell

    ~RonanSilence was never truly silent.Not in the forest. Not in enemy territory.Not when every step you took could mean the difference between success… and death.I moved low through the undergrowth, my breaths measured, controlled, barely more than a whisper against the night air. Around me, the others did the same…shadows weaving through shadows, bodies blending into the darkness as we advanced.No one spoke. No one needed to. We all knew what was at stake.The Moonstone core.The heart of Ashenhowl’s strength. And tonight… It would be ours.I raised a hand slightly, signaling a halt. Instantly, the group froze, no sound, no movement. Only the faint rustle of leaves and the distant flow of the river break the stillness.My eyes scanned ahead, narrowing as I focused on the clearing beyond.Faintly visible through the trees were guards positioned exactly as we had been told.A slow breath left my lungs. The information was right.Carefully, I lowered my hand and gestured forward. We

  • Daddy Alpha, Take Me    Illusion for the Truth

    ~AidenThe river path was quieter than it should have been.Not empty…never empty…but the kind of quiet that felt… aware. Like the land itself was holding its breath, waiting to see what would unfold within it.I stood partially concealed behind a thick cluster of trees, their shadows stretching long and uneven across the ground as the last traces of daylight faded into dusk. From where I was positioned, I had a clear line of sight to the decoy.The Moonstone core.Or at least, what anyone watching would believe was the Moonstone core.It sat exactly where it should…secured within a reinforced casing, faintly glowing under its protective layer, just convincing enough to pass for the real thing. The illusion wasn’t perfect, but it didn’t need to be.It just needed to be believable.Convincing enough for someone to take the risk.Convincing enough for a traitor to act.My gaze swept over the area again, slow and deliberate.The guards were in position, spread out just enough to look nat

  • Daddy Alpha, Take Me    Dangerous Enemy

    ~ Zarek Draven The round table was slick with spilled drink and grease, bone scraps scattered like trophies of smaller victories. Firelight leapt along the stone walls, torches crackling as laughter rolled through the chamber…deep, coarse, unrestrained. Bloodfang laughed tonight. I leaned back in

    ~LucianAn Alpha who panics has already lost.I stood alone in the vault, the beam of my phone’s flashlight cutting a thin, pale line across shelves that had stood here longer than most bloodlines. The absence I had just discovered didn’t rush at me. It didn’t scream. It settled. Heavy. Intentional

    ~LucianThe breakfast Nadia made for me was good. Better than good.She fed me with quiet patience, lifting the spoon carefully, watching my face like she needed to be sure I was really there with her. Every movement of her hand carried warmth. Intention. Care.But my mind wasn’t fully in the room.

  • Daddy Alpha, Take Me    Where Obedience Ends

    ~AidenBy the time I reached the council grounds, my nerves had settled… not completely, but enough that the tight knot in my chest had loosened into something duller. Still painful. Still present. Just not as suffocating as it had been when I left the pack house.The drive there had been quiet. To
