Alpha Zedex

There she lay, weak and vulnerable, on the ground, her arms wrapped protectively around her knees. Over a hundred werewolves surrounded her, their faces twisted in rage, thick sticks clenched in their fists.

'Mate! Protect!' Zov, the wolf within me, growled fiercely, urging me to protect my mate the moment he sighted her bruised and bloodied body. He struggled to break free, despite my efforts to restrain him.

‘She can never be my mate!’

I thought. Who would have thought Zov would form such a deep bond with a fragile human? He sensed her pain and heard every tear she shed. How did it happen so quickly? Despite not accepting her as my mate, Zov's protectiveness towards her knew no bounds.

Has Zov accepted her? What's happening to me? What are the Moon Goddess and Zov doing to me? How did I end up in the heart of the Vermillion pack? It's Zov's doing, I'm certain. He made me use my teleporting ability, inherited from my mother, which I hadn't used in years.

  • Her Mate, His Redemption   Chapter 72: Tyla’s Attempt.

    Camila “Tyla!” I exclaimed, springing to my feet and leaping toward the doorway where she stood. She held a plate piled with steamed buns, her expression bright with a warmth I found unsettling, but I shrugged it off. Damn! Madam Gabby never mentioned this surprise. Since our last encounter, I hadn’t seen Tyla at all—though, when I’d woken up that morning to Dixie and Bianca’s chatter, I’d secretly wished she were there with them. Now, seeing her in front of me, joy surged through my chest. Without hesitation, I pulled her into a tight hug, the plate wobbling precariously in her grip as she let out a dry, humorless laugh. That laugh isn’t genuine. Tyla’s pretending. Madam Gabby must’ve forced her to bring these buns. I stiffened, withdrawing from the hug. How much I’d missed her, despite everything. “It’s good to have you back safe and sound,” she said, brushing past me. Her voice dripped sarcasm as she slammed the plate onto the dining table and slumped into a chair. “Th

  • Her Mate, His Redemption   Chapter 71: Sharing Her secret

    Camila The moment Dixie and Bianca left the room and closed the door behind them, Madam Gabby leaned closer and began examining my body. My jaw dropped in awe, and I wondered why she was doing so. “You aren’t feeling any pain, are you?” she asked, concern lingering in her voice. Tears clouded her eyes as she held my hands, smoothing them gently. Her personality and reactions were exactly like Miss Abigail’s when she was still alive. Just like a mother, she had always looked out for me, wanted me to be safe, and dreaded the thought of me getting hurt. I shook my head. “I’m fine. Your secret weapons were helpful,” I muttered, flashing her a smile. She tried to smile back, but her clouded eyes blinked away tears. I leaned forward and wiped them with the back of my hands. “I’m glad they did,” Madam Gabby said, her shoulders dropping in relief. “I’m also relieved that Alpha Zedex paid them back in their own coin,” she added, smiling. I smiled back. After a silent moment betwe

  • Her Mate, His Redemption   Chapter 70: Madam Gabby.

    Camila POVI’d known Lan hated me from the moment he first saw me in the icy dungeons. He despised how I fearlessly talked back to him, how I stood my ground against him—but wanting me dead? Nah. That was something I wouldn’t bet on—though maybe it just hadn’t crossed my mind yet. But come to think of it, now I see why there was so much disdain and hate in Piro’s eyes. The words that came out of his mouth, down to the venom in his glare and dreadful threats—now it’s all coming together in one piece. Bianca shook her head. “So sad that he always pretends to be so naive and clueless in front of the Alpha. Trust me, the Alpha would be disheartened to learn that Lan turned out worse than his brother.” Dixie nodded. “I knew Lan was up to something when he chose his half-brother over his blood brother. Deadlier than a snake—now I wish Alpha Zedex had known this sooner to avoid future trouble,” she voiced in concern. Bianca hastily held my hand. “From now on, you need to stay away fr

    Camila “Trust me, Mogan,” I whispered, pulling away from him to sit on the edge of the bed. His gaze burned into my back as I walked, heavy and unyielding. When I lifted my eyes to meet his, he released a heavy sigh of relief, as though my closeness had been suffocating him all along. Mogan’s stare snapped toward me. Even in the dim light, I could see the doubt flickering behind his hardened expression—how he blinked rapidly, his eyes darting to the walls, the floor, anywhere but me. Convincing him would be difficult, I knew. But I couldn’t force him. If I pushed too hard, he’d only grow more wary, suspecting some hidden scheme. Yet, deep down, I clung to one certainty, he didn’t hate me. Since my arrival in this strange, shadowed world, he’d saved me countless times. Even when I feared he’d betray me for asking Madam Gabby about Zedex’s past, he’d stayed silent. That small mercy had spared me harsher punishments. “I’ll give you time to think, Mogan,” I said softly, climbing o

  • Her Mate, His Redemption   Chapter 68: I Will Set Him Free

    CAMILA POVIn a flash, he closed the distance between us. His palm struck my chin like lightning, pain jolting through me like electricity. My hand flew to my face as tears spilled over. He gripped my jaw, forcing me to meet his burning gaze. A shiver raced down my spine. The fury in his eyes made me wish the ground would swallow me whole. ‘I should’ve stayed silent. Let him walk away.’ “Trust?” Zedex’s voice dripped venom as his fingers dug into my flesh. Blood trickled down my neck. “Who the fuck are you to speak of trust? You stole from me. Gave my ring to the enemy.” He snarled like a feral beast, then drove his fist into my stomach. I crumpled to the floor, waist slamming against the wooden table. A sharp cry tore from my throat. “Ugh!” I lifted tear-blurred eyes to him. He scoffed, “I'd rather trust a snake than a human. He stalked toward me, a predator circling prey. “You want to flee, don’t you?” he whispered before erupting into manic laughter. “N-no—” I shook my hea

  • Her Mate, His Redemption   Chapter 67: Zedex, Trust me!

    Camila POV My eyelashes fluttered open as my gaze landed on the ceiling. The faint scent of Zedex’s sandalwood cologne lingered in the air, grounding me in his space. It was familiar, and I slowly raised my upper body to sit upright on the bed. My eyes wandered around the room, and I instantly recognized Zedex’s chambers. I stretched my arms and twisted slightly, surprised to feel no pain in my body or joints—not even a headache. The usual ache in my ribs from past beatings was gone, replaced by an unnatural vigor. I felt renewed and strong as if energized from within. ‘When did we return to the Vermillion Pack?’ My thoughts raced, scrambling to recall what had happened. In a flash, memories flooded my mind: Max and Troy harassing me, Zedex intervening by severing their hands. Their snarls echoed in my skull, followed by the metallic tang of blood. My face fell with sadness. The rivalry between the brothers showed no sign of ending, and it pained me to know it was all because o
