Fearless Human Mateย ย ย The Altar of the Lost
The path they took wasnโt going to the dungeons but through the Alphaโs secret hideaway in his office. The sudden change as they entered the small cave made Xeniaโs stomach tighten. โWhere are we going?โ Xenia asked, her voice more high-pitched than she liked. The warriors remained silent, their faces unreadable as they waded through the icy water to reach the other side. Xeniaโs heart raced, her pulse pounding in her ears. The dim, suffocating tunnel brought back the memories of her escape with her mother. Her breath hitched, and her legs faltered as the faint echoes of her motherโs screams mingled with the falling of debris.โXenia,โ Novaโs voice rumbled in the back of her mind, firm but soothing. โThey did this on purpose. Fight through it. Breathe.โXenia gritted her teeth, drawing strength from Novaโs presence as she struggled to keep moving. The warriors exchanged glances but said nothing, their grip tightening to keep her moving. Novaโs presence swirled protectively around he

The clash of metal against metal echoed through the kitchen as Jane ducked, barely dodging the swing of the spiked chain now wielded by Rick.Rick grinned as he twirled the chain like a predator with a toy. โYou thought you were clever. Wielding this chain like you had a chance against me. Havenโt you had enough today?โJane was breathing hard, her muscles aching from the fight, but still she laughed, shaking her head. โObviously not, if Iโm defying you again, but you know what Rick. I don't care what you do to me anymore. I will be free from you whether you like it or not.โโDonโt test me, Jane.โHe swung the chain and Jane ducked as it hit the plates just above her. The glass sprayed everywhere causing a few cuts on her arms. She moved back against the counter, and her hand grazed the surface, feeling for anything useful. Her fingers brushed against something cold and metalโa pie tin. Her heart leaped as she remembered its contents. The silver and wolfsbane pie sheโd baked earlier,

The saturated color of the surrounding trees and landscape looked all too familiar when Xenia woke up in the spirit realm. Yet, something felt off. The hues were darker and the shadow loomed over the entire space. Mist swirled around her ankles, and the air carried an otherworldly hum that seemed to resonate in her chest. For a brief moment, the feeling frightened her.โYou are finally awake,โ a voice called out.Xenia turned to see Nova, moving towards her. Novaโs white fur shimmered like freshly fallen snow under the moonlight and darkness.โNova,โ Xenia breathed, relief washing over her. โI forgot how this felt. Though, it looks different.โโDark forces are involved here, Xenia,โ Nova said, lowering her head slightly, her ears twitching in agitation. โMelaniaโs presence is growing stronger.โXeniaโs stomach tightened. The name alone sent a chill through her body. Her hands curled into fists, looking around the area for a sign. โWhere is she?โโClose,โ Nova growled. โBe on guard.โโ

Delilah caught Jane before she fell to the floor. Jane gazed over Rickโs lifeless body, her body trembling of what had just happened before. before letting out a heavy sigh.โI knew this was going to hurt, but damn,โ Jane laughed. โYou would think I would be used to pain.โโJane, whatโs going on?โ Delilah asked.โLater,โJane said with one last look at Rick before shaking her head. โWe have to get to the others.โโAgreed,โ Archie said, gripping the hilt of his sword. โNo delays. Where are the others?โJane pointed in the direction of the dungeon cells. โCells are down that way, but weโre not the only ones down here.โOn cue, a loud crash could be heard through the tunnels. The group raced forward, coming to a scene of pure chaos. Lacey, Friend, and Danny were in the middle of an all-out brawl against several guards. Lacey was throwing punches like a rabid beast, while Frieda and Dannyโboth laughing wildlyโused each other to break through. Danny swung Frieda around like a rag doll while

As the morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow over the room, Xenia slowly opened her eyes to find herself lying in her room. She quickly sat up in bed, looking around. Was she dreaming? She had to be. That was the only explanation. She jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom to look in the mirror. She was the same as she was before. She pinched herself thinking she was dreaming but she felt pain.What the hell?She absentmindedly touched her face, arms, and hair. Unable to believe where she was. She tried remembering where she was before. Melania. The fight. Nova. She had to get back andโฆโXeni?โXeniaโs inner thoughts stopped and she froze. She looked towards the doorway, willing herself to move but her body was shaking with emotions.โMother?โAs if on cue, Delilah appeared in the doorway with a smile on her face. โThere you are? What is taking you so long? Put on some clothes and come to breakfast.โDelilah turned to leave but Xenia grabbed her and pulled h

Serif laid down on the sand, exhausted. Theyโve been digging themselves from the little sand hole the others stuff them into to avoid detection. Dottie and Molly ran to his side to help him sit up. He swatted them away.โIโm fine, Iโm fine,โ he said with irritation. โIโm just a bit tired, hungry, and my ass is full of sand. How much longer do we have to stay here?โDottie looked over the empty waves, shaking her head. โLaurie said to wait here for reinforcements.โโShe didnโt say how long they will be,โ Molly added. โBut this was the safer option.โSerik looked toward the tunnel the others left through the other day, wondering if they were better off going with them. Then he thought about the fighting and unnecessary bloodshed and decided he chose the right path. Still, the shade of the moon in the sky gave him an eerie feeling.โThere!โ Dottie pointed to a ship that appeared on the horizon. Dottie and Molly exclaimed, jumping up and waving their hands in the air. Serif groaned, bare

In the cozy kitchen of her family home, Xenia found herself caught in a comical, slightly awkward situation as she sat down to breakfast. Her mother sat across from her with her chin resting on her clasped fingers. Delilahโs eyes darted between the two brothers she forced Xenia to sit between.โSo,โ Delilah began, her eyes twinkling with mischief as she sipped her tea. โSince I didnโt get the chance to properly introduce myself to you both because of theโฆ incident in OrnyvilleโฆโโWe are so sorry about that, Miss Bakken,โ Micah interjected.

Blood and ash thickened the air as Alpha Micah and the group made their way through the packhouse and towards the ritual grounds. The howls of distant wolves still echoed, but for now, the area had settled into a tense, almost eerie silence. Laurie floated down from a treeline, black eyes turning back to her usual color, her expression grim. โMore guards than we thought,โ she whispered. โAnd thatโs just the outer ring.

Micah barely grunted as the witchfire singed his shoulder, his body shielding Xeniaโs. Smoke curled off his skin, but he stayed upright, golden eyes blazing.โRemember! Thatโs not just Lillian,โ he growled. โMelaniaโs in there.โLaurieโs eyes widened, magic crackling around her fingertips. โThat explains the strength. Lillian wasnโt this powerful before.โCristobal readied his sword, standing at Xeniaโs side with a smirk aimed at Micah. โThen letโs put her down before she gets any stronger. You can keep up, wolf-boy?โMicah grinned. โTry not to fall behind, soldier.โLaurie stepped forward. โYou two can measure egos later. Sheโs still attacking Xenia.โXenia had just rolled behind a boulder, her face pale but determined. She picked up a fallen branch and brandished it like a spear.Laurieโs magic swirled around her like a storm. โWeโre gonna need everyone. Iโll try to trap her between veils. If we can weaken Melaniaโs grip, we might be able to push her back.โThe group fanned out, ins

Across the battlefield, Lacey caught sight of Celia blasting away two warriors before trying to join Lillian.โCelia!โ Lacey shouted, grabbing her arm and yanking her back.Celia whirled on her. โWhat are you doing? Let go of me!โโI should be asking you the same damn thing,โ Lacey snapped. โYouโre still fighting for her? After everything sheโs done?โCeliaโs jaw clenched. โYou wouldnโt understand.โโShe tortured us. She tortured you. She helped turn Jed into a monster! And you still defend her?โโShe loves me,โ Celia hissed, voice trembling with fury. โYou donโt know what itโs likeโto be chosen. To be seen. You wouldnโt understand because you donโt have a mate. Youโve never had one.โLacey flinchedโbut only for a moment. โYouโre right,โ she said coldly. โI donโt have a mate. But at least Iโm not weak enough to sell my soul for one.โCeliaโs magic surged at those words. โSay that again.โLaceyโs eyes gleamed gold. โYou heard me.โWith a furious scream, Celia raised her hands, greenish

Melania took on Nova, Roman, and Micah while Mason set his sights on Xenia.With a powerful swipe Melania threw Roman towards Nova, both crashing out of the way as she clashed with Micah.โI never thought in a million years you would want to hurt me like this,โ Melania grimaced. โI am your mate, Micah. Me. Not that fragile little human!โMicahโs grip tightened on her wrists, and for a moment, their faces were inches apart as he held her gaze. โYou lost me the moment you took away the only family I had left,โ he snapped. โYou used my grief like a leash. You made yourself a monster.โMelaniaโs lips trembled, fury twisting her features. โNo,โ she whispered, shaking her head. โNo, noโyou still love me. I know you do. I can fix this. I can fix us.โโThereโs no us anymore, Melania,โ Micah said. โThere will never be an us.โThe words hit harder than any blow. Melania shriekedโan animal sound, furious and gutturalโand her body lit up with a violent surge of dark magic. She slammed both hands

Xenia blinked, struggling to steady herself as the dream faded, ripped from her mind like torn silk. Her body ached. Every breath felt like she was inhaling smoke. She sat up slowlyโand froze.Melania lay sprawled on the ground, her elegant dress torn, blood staining her lip. Her eyes fluttered open, dazed but furious.A sound to her left made Xenia twist around. Mason. Stumbling into the area, just as beaten. His shirt was ripped, and blood dripped from various parts of his body. He spotted Melania on the floor. His expression snapped.โNo,โ he whispered, then louder, โWhat did you do?โXenia barely had time to get to her feet before he lunged at her.โYou ruined everything!โ Mason bellowed, slamming into her and knocking her back. โShe gave you everything! And you spat on it!โXenia hit the floor hard, the impact stealing the breath from her lungs. Dazed, she barely registered Masonโs shadow looming above her, his fist coming down.But it never landed.A hand caught it mid-swing wit

Xenia woke up alone. The brothers were nowhere to be seen, so she decided to get ready for another perfect day. She got dressed, fixing her appearance in the mirror. The moment she looked away, the reflection turned to Melania, who smiled before disappearing. Xenia stared at her reflection before leaving.โGood,โ Xenia said to herself. โTodayโs going to be perfect.โDownstairs the brothers were in the kitchen with Delilah. Micah was unusually focused, slicing and arranging with the precision of a man on a mission. Mason was just as focused, carefully packing fruits and cheeses, and crusty bread into woven baskets. Delilah flitted about the kitchen like a hummingbird, humming a lullaby Xenia swore she hadnโt heard since childhood.They walked to the sea, just the four of them. The cliffs were painted with wildflowers, the ocean stretched endlessly, calm and blue. Xenia leaned into the breeze and tried not to think too hard.But something was wrong.She felt it when she reached for the

Melania kept her magic flowing into Xenia, but she felt herself losing strength. Micah stood before them, his presence blazing with power.Melania didnโt flinch. โKeep him away,โ she said to Mason. โSheโs so close to accepting her new reality. If he interrupts now, she might have the strength to fight back. I need time.โโHe wonโt understand,โ Mason said.โThen make him,โ she snapped. โI know you can.โโI wonโt say it again,โ Micah said, interrupting their conversation. โGet out of my way Mason.โโI canโt let you,โ Mason said, his voice shaking with fury. โYou took her away from me once. I wonโt let it happen again!โMason snarled, aura flaring to full strength as he launched forward. Micahโs wolf, Roman, collided with Mason in mid-air, the impact sending a shockwave through the spirit realm. Mason crashed to the ground, rolling once before skidding to a stop.โDamn you, Roman,โ he spat, rising. โDo you have to interfere. This is between brothers.โ Roman stood between him and Mason,

Xenia stood frozen as Mason held her waist, his touch gentle. This was the kind of moment a girl might fantasize aboutโthe reformed villain pledging himself at her feet. But something about it soured in her gut. The air shimmered, just slightly, like heat rising off pavement. Masonโs skin was warm, too warm, feverish. And his voiceโฆ it wasnโt Masonโs.

Hard to think. But she could hear her mother and Micah returningโfootsteps, laughter, too far and too close all at once.

There was a flickerโjust for a secondโwhere his eyes changed, glitching like bad film. A blink later and they were
