I sat at the dining table, my appetite long lost. Aurora was playing on the floor, with the other pups. Some kids had found a special liking towards her and decided to make her their friend. I smiled, looking at them, sharing toys and food, enjoying this phase without a care in the world.My stomach stirred, uneasily and I rubbed my belly. My son kicked me hard, as if he was complaining about forgetting about him. “Don’t worry baby, Mamma didn’t forget you.” I whispered to my stomach.In spite of the cheery mood set up in the pack house, there is a nagging feeling of dread. Something is wrong. Something isn’t right.I sighed, the smell of pancakes making me forget everything momentarily. I gulped down the food as Saya prepared it for me, smiling as she saw me eat well. I had difficulty eating food, and if I ate, I had difficulty stomaching it down. But today seems to be different. I could eat as well as keep it down. Maybe my son was similar to his mom, who loved pancakes more than cer

Sleep didn’t come easy that night for me. I was lost,tired and exhausted. I felt my tears clogging my eyes and my chest constricting again. I felt helpless all over again. All these days of training, trying to be strong for all of us, trying my best to be optimistic.But everything came crashing down on me. I felt too burdened by everything. Nothing ever felt right again. I didn’t know if it ever would.I sat up on the bed and leaned against the headboard. I tried the breathing exercises we were taught in our prenatal classes. I was attending a few between everything to look after myself and destress my body.I opened my eyes and my gaze fell on the piece of fabric that Lucas had brought back with him. Tears welled up in my eyes and I couldn’t stop them this time. I walked

I had called for an All-Alpha meeting. Enough was enough now. Taking the help of the Elders, technically threatening them to interfere and help us out of this, we were all seated in the conference room adjacent to my office.The Alphas had also been given accommodation, if the circumstances demanded. Ariana was beside me, wearing a loose gown to hide her pregnancy and avoid any unnecessary questions.“Gentleman, we know that the threat from the Vampires has reduced for the past few months. Like they expected us, we have let our guards down and gone back to normalcy.” My voice boomed in the room. “We need to gear up now before it’s too late. There is going to be a war. A deadly one at that. We need to be prepared for that.” The other alphas looked at each other, murmuring in confusion.“Why now? And what is this war for? And since the threats have been neutralised, why are we unnecessarily doing this?” Alpha Raiden, from the Moon Beam pack asked. This is why I needed the Elders. The w

“Is the team ready?” I asked, my voice calm but cold as I walked out onto the clearing behind the mansion, where a dozen vampires were waiting—geared, silent, focused.“Yes, they are,” Nerissa replied smoothly, her crimson eyes narrowing in the moonlight. “I hope you bring something useful back this time,” she added, her tone clipped with disdain before turning on her heels and striding away, her cloak trailing behind like spilled ink.I didn’t reply to her jab. Instead, I chuckled under my breath and turned to face the group. “Let’s move.”We moved fast—silent shadows through the forest. The night was thick, wrapped in the hush before a storm. Leaves whispered beneath our boots, the trees parting only slightly as we passed. We didn’t speak. We didn’t need to.This wasn’t just a hunt. It was a test.Last time, I’d brought back nothing but rogue werewolves—scraps, as Nerissa called them. This time, I was going to give her what she truly wanted: chaos. Blood. Fear. Proof that I belonged

The room was thick with tension, the air heavy with anticipation as I sat in Lucas’s office, surrounded by maps, charts, and paperwork. A large map of the territories lay spread across the desk, marked in red and black ink, showing border patrol routes, supply chains, and possible evacuation points. It was all real now. This wasn’t just about finding Xavier anymore. It was war. And we had to be ready.Lucas sat across from me, flipping through a checklist of food supplies and medical inventory. Saya paced near the window, her brows furrowed in deep concentration as she noted down training schedules. The atmosphere buzzed with urgency, the kind that doesn’t need to be spoken aloud. We had elders and children to protect, mothers with newborns to shelter, and a whole generation of young wolves who’d never seen a battlefield before.“We need to start training the women for self-defense. We can’t afford to rely on just the warriors,” Saya said, finally breaking the silence.“I agree,” Lucas

“I need to see him.” I held Lucas’s arm, grabbing his attention.“No Ari. It’s too dangerous. I can’t let you go there.”“No, I need to see him. This can’t be Xavbier. There might be a mistake. He might be coerced to do something like this.” I tried to knock some sense into Lucas.“Ari, I can promise you that I won’t kill him. But if he lays his hands on my pack, I can’t stop myself from hurting him.” I took a step back instinctively. Lucas sensed the hurt in my eyes and he stepped forward to convince me when he was called back.“I promise not to kill him. I shall get him for you and you can talk to him. But you are not stepping out of this room at any cost.” Before I could protest, Lucas mindlinked two guards and they were at my doorstep, ready to guard me. “I am hungry. I need to go to the kitchen.” I spoke and they looked at each other. I didn’t know if they were contemplating their decision to let me eat or mindlinking Lucas, but I didn't care. I walked to the kitchen with them i

It had been over eight hours, and Ariana still hadn’t stirred.The soft beeping of the machines, the constant hum of the oxygen line, and the occasional footsteps of the nurses made the silence even more unbearable. Her skin was pale, her lips dry, and her body far too still for my liking. Yesterday’s blow had been too much—even for someone like her. She was strong, fierce, and unyielding. But this… Xavier having a mate… it had shattered something deep within her.The moment I had said those words, she had gone utterly silent, her eyes wide with disbelief. Then, without warning, her body went limp and she collapsed in my arms like a doll with its strings cut.She hadn’t woken since.Now, lying there in the hospital bed, the faint rise and fall of her chest were the only signs that she was still with us. But even that didn’t bring me much comfort. Because she was lying on her back—something the doctors had strictly warned against this late into the pregnancy. It restricted blood flow, a

Some days demand more of you than you ever thought you could give. Today was one of them.The sun was barely up when I stood on the balcony outside the Alpha wing, a steaming mug of black coffee in my hand and a thousand thoughts clawing at my brain. The chill in the wind did little to shake the exhaustion that clung to my bones. From my perch, I could see the training grounds bustling with the sound of metal clashing, orders being shouted, and the distinct thump of combat boots against gravel. The Russian warriors were already up—disciplined, fast, and efficient. Just as I expected. Our own men were trying to keep pace, bruises from yesterday’s fight still fresh on their skin.The scent of lavender and baby powder drifted faintly from the room behind me. Ariana and Aurora. My sanctuary amidst this growing storm.I sighed, placing the mug on the ledge, the warmth lingering on my fingertips as I turned away and re-entered the room.Ariana was still asleep, but at least today she wasn’t

The pain was dull now — not sharp like it had been yesterday. Not the searing kind that made my body jerk or my mind scream. This pain was deeper. Softer. The kind that makes you float somewhere between sleep and sorrow, somewhere between memory and madness.I was healing. Shane said I would live.But I wasn’t sure that I wanted to.I lay still in the tent, the air heavy with smoke and antiseptic, with the rustle of bandages and whispers of broken warriors. I could hear Lucas barking orders outside, his voice rough with exhaustion. Aurora’s name clung to my throat like a prayer I couldn’t whisper. My body wouldn’t move the way it should — not yet. My ribs were still cracked, muscles torn, and a part of me felt like it had been ripped away completely.

The world had turned red.It wasn't just the blood soaking the ground, or the flames licking the tree line. It was something deeper — a rage, a fury, a heartbreak that turned every breath into fire. The moment I saw him, my fists clenched so hard I thought they might shatter.Xavier.But this wasn’t the Xavier I had once known. No trace of humanity remained in his eyes. They glowed an unnatural crimson, and his skin looked like pale stone under moonlight. A dark mark curled across the side of his neck, pulsing like a living thing. He stood tall, cold, still — until the killing began.He didn’t pause. He didn’t hesitate.He moved like a weapon forged in vengeance.

The battlefield was soaked in blood. The scent of iron clung to the air, heavy and choking, and I could taste it with every breath. My muscles ached, my wolf growled beneath my skin, but I couldn’t shift again—not yet. Not while we were surrounded by wounded warriors and smoke.We had won that day. Barely.But victory didn’t taste like glory. It tasted like ash.I was limping through the battlefield, checking for the fallen, calling out names I didn’t want to forget, when I heard it.A scream.Not just any scream. Hers.“Ariana!”It tore out of me before I realized I was running. I shoved past fighters, jumped over collapsed tents, stumbled through pools of blood and bodies—living and dead. I didn’t know who was still standing. I didn’t care. I needed to get to her.When I found her, I couldn’t breathe.She was on the ground, curled around her stomach, blood soaking through her armor. Her wolf—Saya—was already retreating beneath her skin, the shift collapsing from pain or fear. Her eye

The battlefield was chaotic.Blood soaked into the dirt beneath my feet. Screams echoed across the field—wolf, vampire, even human. The stench of ash and iron burned in my nose. I moved like instinct, blade in hand, lungs heaving, every limb screaming from the weight of war.We had won the morning, barely. But they came again—angrier, faster, crueler. This time with spells that tore the earth, that turned the sky the color of fire. They didn’t care about victory. They wanted devastation.And I gave them hell.One vampire came at me, fangs bared, black claws flashing. I ducked, drove my blade through his ribs, twisted hard. He crumpled with a shriek, melting into ash.A second one lunged at my back—I barely turned in time to block. His claws sliced across my forearm, tearing through skin. I gritted my teeth, ignoring the pain, and slammed my elbow into his face.More came. There was no end.At some point, I lost track of where Ariana was. Or Jake. I was just moving—killing, blocking, ga
His Rejected Mate 77. LUCAS
The battlefield wasn’t quiet tonight. Not like before.It hummed — with the steady breath of wolves, hundreds of us lined up in formation, claws half-sunk into the soil, waiting. The scent of iron and ash clung to the air. Fires glowed in the distance — torches lit by the allied packs, forming a wall of flame behind us, a symbol of the unity we’d forged.For the first time in weeks, I didn’t feel the pit of dread. We weren’t just defending anymore.We were fighting back.The packs had answered our call. One by one, they’d arrived — warriors from the North, rogues from the East who bore no crest but stood beside us like blood kin, and older packs from the South whose leaders hadn’t stepped into war in decades. And when they’d seen Ariana — fierce, strong, her rare white wolf radiating something unspoken — they had pledged more than just warriors.They had pledged hope.I stood near the front, just behind the first defensive line. Ariana was beside me, human still, but already alert — h

Dawn hadn't broken yet, but the sky was already stirring — a bruised shade of purple and blue, streaked with pale wisps of light. The kind of sky that made you forget, just for a moment, that the world was on the brink of chaos.But there was no forgetting today.The camp was quiet in a way that didn't feel peaceful. It felt heavy. Thick. Like every breath was a reminder of what we were about to do… or lose.I stood at the edge of the barracks, Ryan strapped gently to my chest, his tiny heartbeat thudding against mine like a drum far too innocent for this kind of morning. Aurora clung to my side, her little hand tangled in the hem of my coat. She wasn’t speaking much these days. She just watched. Understood things she shouldn’t have to.Around me, people moved in silence.Warriors checked their packs one last time. Mothers knelt beside sleeping children, brushing their hair away from their faces, pressing kisses to foreheads as though trying to memorize the feel of them. Mates clung t

The moonlight was different tonight.Even with the weight of fatigue pulling at my bones, sleep didn’t come easy. Ryan stirred beside me, his small chest rising and falling with a rhythm that used to soothe me. Not tonight. Tonight, everything felt... off.Lucas had left the tent a few hours ago — another emergency meeting, another report, another piece of the puzzle falling into place, but not fast enough. I stayed behind with the children, trying to cling to whatever peace I could still grasp.But when I finally did close my eyes, I was no longer in the safety of our camp.I stood in a field of ash.The sky was black — not night-black, but stained, unnatural, like ink spilt across a canvas. No stars, no mo

Weapons don’t think. They execute. And that’s all I am now.The night air was thin at the mountain’s edge, sharp like a blade, but it didn’t cut me. Not anymore. My skin had long since grown numb to the cold — and to everything else. Below, the wolves burned their torches and sharpened their blades, clinging to hope like it meant something. Like it could save them. It wouldn’t.Behind me, the vampire commander hissed orders. His voice scratched at my ears, but I didn’t bother to listen. I already knew what needed to be done. “Xavier,” he called, stepping closer. “You will lead the eastern flank. Break their line. Go for the Alpha first.” I gave a silent nod. No resistance. No emotion. He didn’t deserve words.I didn’t speak unless necessar

Later, after the vampire was returned to his cell and the council notified, I found Ariana sitting alone near the edge of the camp. The firelight danced against her pale skin, casting long shadows behind her.She didn’t look at me when I sat down beside her.“I dreamed about him again last night,” she murmured. “But it wasn’t him. It was something darker… wearing his face.” I didn’t know what to say. So I said nothing.“I don’t know if I’ll be strong enough to face him,” she added. “You will,” I said, placing a hand gently on her back. “Because you’re not alone.”She turned to me, eyes brimming but unshed. “I’m scared, Lucas.”“So am I,” I whispered. “But fear doesn’t make us weak. It just means we still have so
