Kael’s pov

My eyes narrowed to slits, intently surveying my surroundings. I gently rose from the bench, with my claws extracting, orbs still trained on the underbrush from which the rustling came. Isla was long gone, vanishing into thin air and leaving me to my fate. Probably, to die alone in this forest hardly trod by creatures of the realm.

“Who’s there?” I called out, not expecting the eavesdropper to respond. “Show yourself, come out and face me.” Silence. More rustling. I squinted even more attempting to make out the shadowy figure standing a few feet away.

“You do not know when to give up, do you?” my stalker had a deep voice. He had followed me from the lower district into the forest. The mask on his face hid his identity, but he felt oddly familiar. Silver gleamed in his hand; it wasn’t just a blade but a weapon designed to kill werewolves. I recognized the stance and the way he held the weapon.

  • In Love With The Scared Alpha    The last

    Lyra's POVAll sense of peace evaded my mind since Rockan and Tyris rushed out of the mansion, barely stopping to bid me goodbye. I wondered what the emergency might be as I watched them race out of the compound, nearly knocking the gardener out of his path in their haste. Perhaps more news of my parents had surfaced—another witness, another piece of evidence that could finally vindicate them. Or a nearby pack had been attacked, or it could be another rogue attack. Whatever it was, I couldn't stop the dread that crawled up my throat with each passing minute.The pain shooting from my left calf reminded me of the rigorous training I endured in Tyris' hands. He sure is a good teacher and his tactical lessons would go a long way in preparing me for the final showdown with my enemies—those snakes disguised as family who left me orphaned and broken. I want them to tremble before me as my wrath swallows them whole, to feel the same terror and helplessness that had consumed me for years.The

  • In Love With The Scared Alpha    Parasites

    Rockan’s povThe silence in the car pressed against us like a living thing, heavy and suffocating. Thorne's text burned in my mind—coordinates to one of the safe houses nestled in the no-man's land between Blackcrest and Silvermoon, where shadows had teeth and secrets bred like parasites.Tyris shifted beside me in the backseat, his restless energy crackling through the confined space. I didn't need to look at him to know he was unravelling; the scent of his anxiety was sharp as copper in my nostrils, mixing with the leather seats and the driver's cheap cologne."You're vibrating like a tuning fork," I muttered, finally turning to catch his profile in the passing streetlights. His jaw was clenched so tight I wondered if his teeth might crack. "What's eating you up?""Nothing." The word came out strangled, wrapped in a smile that wouldn't have fooled a blind man. His heart hammered against his chest like a caged bird, and I found myself wondering if t was because of Kael’s injuries or

  • In Love With The Scared Alpha    Courtyard

    Tyris povBelow in the courtyard, I suddenly stiffened as Rockan’s voice barged into my mind. A snap of my head toward his office window brought his masked face into view. Even from this distance, I could see the anger in his eyes—rage from my proximity to Lyra, yes, but something else too. Something I couldn't quite place. There was a wildness there, a barely contained panic that made my wolf sit up and take notice.Ever since Lyra arrived at the mansion, Rockan had stopped trusting me with his covert missions. Where once I'd been his right hand in all things, now I was relegated to training duties and other minor tasks. The truth was painful: my brother no longer trusted me, around his mate and his kingdom. And maybe he was right not to.The guilt that constantly gnawed at me was snuffed out of my being. Though I'd crossed lines that should never have been crossed, sixteen years ago and now, it was too late to turn back or repent. I also allowed my feelings for Lyra to grow beyon

  • In Love With The Scared Alpha    The Evidence

    Rockan’s PovLyra had taken to training to keep her mind off the mounting evidence against her dead parents. However, I knew the main reason behind that decision was that she wanted to avoid me. Tyris had become her go-to person, and I have been almost relegated to the background. She has all her meals with him and their regular walks in the garden have resumed. Words cannot describe the amount of jealousy that coursed through my veins at the sight of them, chatting and laughing without any care in the world. The phone buzzed against my desk, jarring me from the stack of council documents I'd been pretending to read. Lyra's face haunted every word on these pages in the form of reports about her parents, testimonies from her former pack members, and evidence that painted an increasingly damning picture of the people she loved most.Kael's name flashed on the screen. I snatched it up, expecting his usual calm report and more damning evidence against my dead in-laws.Instead, I heard la

  • In Love With The Scared Alpha    Trees

    Kael’s povThe unwavering devotion in his eyes for Lyra was stronger than anything I had ever seen. However, Alpha King Rockan loved his territory and people more than his desires—it was what made him a great leader. So, I wasn't surprised when he told me to dig deeper and obtain recordings, his voice heavy with resignation. He was desperate, grasping at straws to prove the Luna's parents' innocence. But the council wouldn't accept a traitor queen or one born from traitorous bloodlines.All of this was the least of my problems, though. The rogue trailing me through the forest caught my attention. One glance at the cloaked figure told me he was no ordinary wolf—his movements were too fluid, too practiced. This was a trained killer. He belonged to no pack and served only whoever paid him. The question was: Who had ordered him to follow me?I quickened my pace, calculating escape routes. My intel hinted at a surviving descendant of the rogue who had led the attack on Silvermoon sixteen y
