Alex
She’s messing with my head.Her words were laced with quiet power as she left the room. I can still feel the heat of her presence, the bite of her defiance.
All I wanted to do was pull her back, and take her against the wall. She would allow me, right? I could smell her desire — she was just as turned on as I was. But I couldn’t. Not after the way she looked at me.
Her eyes were like sharp emerald daggers, cutting through me with that fucking smirk.
But still, she pushed me away. Or at least, she tried to.
I don’t know why I did it. I basically forced myself on her when I pushed her against the wall.
Maybe it started with her disrespect, maybe anger pushed me to act — but we both know that what happened between us was anything but anger.
The moment my hands were on her, the second our bodies collided, it shifted. It became something darker, something desperate. And now, all I can think about is doing it again.
No.
I will never be that man. I won't touch her again unless she wants me to.
I know why I did it, though.
I'm not used to women speaking to me like that. Challenging me.
It’s rage-inducing and fucking hot.
‘Meet you at the office in 10. It’s at the pack headquarters. The Gamma will be waiting to show you in.’
Nate’s voice echoes through the mindlink.
Great. Now I need to go meet my future brother-in-law with a hard-on.
I rush to the house we’re staying in, jump into a shower, and throw on dark jeans, a black shirt, and black boots. Something simple. Something that says, I’m not fazed.
Except I fucking am.

Gamma Felix meets me at the entrance of the pack headquarters, leading me to the Alpha's office.
The moment I step inside, I realize just how much power and wealth are woven into this pack.
The office is everything I expected — luxurious and sharp. The mahogany desk gleams under the soft glow of sunlight filtering through floor-to-ceiling windows. A Persian rug, deep and rich in color, stretches across the polished wood floors. The entire room exudes power and precision — the deep leather chair behind the desk hinting at hours of negotiating multimillion-dollar deals to fund the pack.
I take it all in as I spot my mother, Nate, and Lyra already seated on the leather couches. I take a seat next to Mother. Father stands in his wolf form, his dark fur catching the light. His blue eyes — a shade darker than his human ones—lock onto the opposite end of the room.
It is customary for Alphas to be in wolf form during a first meeting. I’m not officially an Alpha yet, so I’m stuck in this fucking human body. I hate it. Every second.
Then, the door opens.
The White Wolf enters.
And I’m confused.
I’d heard the stories — the rumours, but this?
The wolf is striking, sure — his fur a silvery blend of white and pale hues — but legendary?
No.
This wolf’s got nothing special about him. The wolf is the same size as Father, but definitely smaller than me. I could easily take the fucker.
This is the Alpha everyone talks about?
I expected more.
My sister deserves so much more.
Then comes the Alpha display of power.
Father goes first. A blue glow, the same colour as his eyes, radiates from him, nearly reaching the ceiling, and we all move back a bit.
Except the White Wolf.
He doesn't move.
Doesn’t flinch.
Just watches my father calculatingly.
When Father finally draws in his power, the White Wolf nods slightly, giving his approval.
And then, he releases his own power.
Holy fuck.
I’ve felt power before — hell, I am power. But this? This is different.
Where Father’s power filled the area around him, the White Wolf’s power spreads like creeping green fire. It doesn’t just press into the space — it consumes it.
It’s like breathing in smoke from a wildfire — thick, choking, inescapable.
Mother is pale, sweat beading down her temple. Nate doesn’t look much better. Lyra’s heart is racing—faster than I’ve ever heard it.
Hell, even I’m feeling it. This isn’t just some show of power.
This is dominance.
And I’ve never felt anything like it before.
The four warriors Father brought along?
On their fucking knees.
And for the first time in my life—
Father steps back.
Fuck.
When the White Wolf finally draws back his power, we all take a deep breath like we’ve escaped a burning room.
The Gamma hands my father clothes, which he takes in his mouth, and walks to the office's adjoining bathroom.
His wolf form disappears.
When he returns, he’s in human form. But the White Wolf?
He moves behind the desk.
And then Beta Talia — hand to the Moon Goddess — casually hands 'him' a dress.
My stomach fucking drops.
Before my eyes, the White Wolf shifts into a woman, and I already know.
The delicate curve of her spine.
The chocolate curls cascading down her back.
She pulls the dress over her head, and when she turns—
Green eyes.
Sharp. Knowing. Smug as fuck.
Fucking Nova.
Everything inside me goes rigid.
The taunting words ‘small thing’ and ‘little wolf’ echo in my head.
I fucking challenged her. I threatened to punish her. I put my hand on her throat. I almost—
Oh, sweet merciful Moon Goddess, smite me now.
Why?
An Alpha male would have put me in my place immediately. He would have set me straight.
I've never come across an Alpha female before… so what does she do?
She played along.
Not because I backed her into a corner.
Not because I intimidated her.
But because she was fucking toying with me.
And now she’s standing here, smirking like she just won the fucking lottery.
Like she’s been waiting for this exact moment just to watch me self-destruct in real time.
This isn’t just a power move.
This is a fucking prank.
I should be furious. I should demand an explanation. I should, at the very least, pretend I have some semblance of control here.
Instead, my entire brain short-circuits like a fucking cheap toaster.
What kind of game is she playing?
And more importantly—
How the actual, living fuck did I just get Alpha’d by my own mate?
Hey guys! If you enjoyed this chapter, please leave a gem.
Alex Nova and I finish at the hospital, and the silence that follows is almost suffocating. The witches have all been checked, their exhaustion evident in their faces, but they’re recovering. The battlefield is cleaned up, but it’s the morgue that lingers in my thoughts—the full, heavy weight of the bodies there. The warriors who didn’t make it are now lined up in the cold, sterile room. And the warriors who did survive are scattered between the hospital wards, still fighting through their injuries.The Oracle warriors who can are making their way back to the pack tomorrow morning. The rest will stay here, their recovery continuing under the care of the Arcane pack’s healers. It’s a strange feeling to know that our fight is over, but the damage it’s left behind will take much longer to heal.Nova and I have agreed that it’s best for me to go back to the Oracle pack during the immediate aftermath. She needs to stay here, to hold this place together, and I understand that. But I hate th
AlexThe battlefield is silent.Not peaceful. Not victorious. Just… silent.The only thing I feel through Nova's bond is relief.Overwhelming. Crushing. Relief.And I feel it, too.Not because we’ve won.But because it’s over.Because Raven is dead.Because there is nothing left to fight.But at what cost?Injured warriors are being rushed to the pack hospital, some limping, others being carried.Omegas move among the fallen, covering bodies with sheets.The witches, exhausted and drained, summon the last of their magic to set the Wendigo corpses ablaze.And Nova—She stands there, watching her sister’s body burn.I don’t know what’s going through her head, but I don’t push.I just wait.When the flames swallow what’s left of Raven, she turns.And walks straight toward me.My wolf moves without hesitation, pressing against her side.She closes her eyes for just a moment, resting her head against my side, breathing.Then, without a word, we turn away, running toward our room.Together.
AlexSelene is not thinking.Not clearly, at least.Her magic is burning too hot, raw grief twisting it into something unstable, unpredictable. Dangerous.She screamed, and the earth cracked open beneath us.The witches are struggling to contain their own power, the wolves are stumbling, the Wendigos are snarling in confusion.And she doesn’t stop.Doesn’t even notice the way the battlefield is shifting around her, the way her own body is glowing with unchecked magic. A black glow beneath her skin.She’s going to burn herself out.Or she's going to kill everyone else.She’s pregnant, for fuck’s sake.She needs to leave, before she kills herself—before she kills her own child."Aurora!" I don’t have time for gentleness. “Get her out of here—now.”Aurora hesitates for half a second, staring at Selene like she’s afraid to get too close. She should be.But there’s no time.Selene’s power is ripping through the battlefield.The ground beneath her feet is blackened, charred. Even the Wendig
NovaI wake not with breath but with instinct.There is no pain. No blood. No battlefield.Only silence… and the soft thud of my paws against smooth, polished marble as I stand up.I’m in wolf form. My body is whole but weightless. The hallway stretches endlessly in both directions, glowing white with veins of moonlight threading through the stone beneath me. The walls rise like cliffs, carved with images that shimmer faintly as I pass.I slow at the first carving.A woman cloaked in starlight, her hair a cascade of silver strands, eyes glowing like the full moon. She holds a bow in one hand and a crescent blade in the other. Her expression is fierce, protective, and divine.Diana.The Moon Huntress. The protector of wolves. My goddess. The power I feel pulsing in my chest, in my bones, belongs to her.I step further.Next to Diana is another figure. Taller. Darker. Wrapped in shadows and swirling smoke. Her eyes are blindfolded with silk, yet I feel them watching me. Her skin gleams
NovaI jump, tackling the wendigo in front of me to the ground, ripping its throat out. And when my head snaps towards Aurora…Nate.Nate is already moving.He throws himself in front of her, taking their attack head-on.It happens so slowly, I can see every claw, tearing through his body. The teeth, sinking into him with a sickening snap. They rip pieces from his flesh, tearing him apart right in front of me.Blood bursts from him, staining the earth beneath him.Nate... no. No. No. Alex charges towards us, taking two of the Wendigos, Leon kills the third.I can’t breathe. My heart is frozen in my chest.My feet move… I shift, falling to the ground.I pull him into my arms. Cradling his now human body. Holding him as tight as I possibly can. As though somehow I can piece him back together with my touch. I feel it. The hollow, aching emptiness inside me as my Alpha power erupts from me like a silver wildfire, crashing into the battlefield, surrounding Nate in my arms. I focus al
LyraNova is pissed. Alex is pissed. Nate is pissed. Father is pissed.And I? Well, I’m having the time of my life.My silver blade sings as it slices through flesh. A beautiful little aria in C-sharp murder.“Honestly, Grammy-worthy. My hands are now stained with blood, not that I mind. The wolves around me are hesitating. Oh, they’ve seen war, they’ve seen warriors, but they have never seen someone like me.A human. On a battlefield. With a blade. Against monsters.I laugh as I sidestep a lunge, my dagger sliding clean between ribs. Amateurs. They rely too much on their fangs and claws, thinking that just because they’re bigger, they have the advantage.Please. I have a brain.And perfect hair.Blood and brains and gore—and not a single split end. Goddess-tier multitasking.I flick a stray curl from my face as another wolf hesitates, staring at me like I’ve grown a second head. “Oh, come on,” I sigh, twirling my blade. “Let’s not drag this out.”He growls. Then he attacks.I dodge,
