MATED TO THE ALPHA HEIR Mourning the dead
Chapter 25: Mourning the Dead AMARA, Grief wasn’t something I could afford to feel. Not now, not with everything at stake. But even the hardest hearts have their cracks, and mine, despite all the walls I’d built, had started to splinter. It clung to me like an invisible weight, a shadow that followed me through every room, through every decision, every step I took. The death of my mother left a gaping hole inside me, one I couldn’t fill with anything—nothing that mattered, anyway. Not power. Not revenge. And certainly not the coronation ceremony that was fast approaching. She had been the foundation of my every choice, my every ambition. She was the reason I had forged the alliances I had, the reason I’d moved through this world with such calculated precision. It had always been about getting closer to the Luna position, the power that would make me untouchable. And now, I was just days away from standing beside Xander Sinclair, the Alpha-in-waiting, his Luna. But the truth that g

Chapter 26: Wolves in the GardenDEREK,There were whispers in the halls again.They didn’t sound like ordinary voices. They slithered between stone walls and danced along the marble floors—low, guttural murmurs laced with shadow magic and old blood. Even the wind carried secrets now, curling through the corridors of the ancestral estate like a predator that had caught a scent.I didn’t need to hear the exact words. I could feel the truth behind them.The pack was uneasy. Not just because of the upcoming coronation—though that was enough to stir even the oldest wolves. No, something darker was at play. A sickness was spreading beneath the surface of our traditions, something ancient and coiled tight, waiting to strike.And at the center of it stood the mating ceremony that would bind Xander to Amara and crown her Luna.But the truth clawing at the edges of my mind had little to do with ceremony or crowns. It pulsed beneath the earth, beneath our skin, an inherited warning echoing thro

Chapter 27: She Is mineAmara,The silver gown clung to my skin like a second soul—stitched in sacred moon-thread, blessed by the High Priestess herself, and dyed with the blood of a sacrificial wolf whose name had long been struck from our records. Not even whispers dared resurrect it.Its weight was unbearable, a constant reminder of the ancient rituals and heavy expectations I was about to fulfill. And yet I wore it proudly. Because weakness had no place in the eyes of the Crescent Moon Pack—not in our traditions, not in our future, and certainly not in our leaders. Especially not in me.The ceremonial chamber loomed ahead like a cavern of judgment. The scent of history and power bled from every stone: myrrh and dried bloodroot, incense and shadow, and the musky heat of wolves who had spent too long trapped in their human skins. High above, runes were carved into the arched ceiling, pulsing faintly with dormant magic. The flames from iron braziers flickered, throwing long, dancing

Chapter 28 – The Shattered SilenceAmaraThe chamber trembled under the weight of Derek’s declaration. The tension hung in the air like a storm cloud, heavy and charged. I could feel the walls themselves vibrating, as if they too were bracing for what was to come. The once serene gathering of the Council of Elders, a meeting that had begun with ritualistic reverence, now resembled a pack on the verge of disintegration. Derek stood in the center, his presence an immovable force, his gaze steady, like the calm before a tempest. His exposed arm gleamed in the dim light, and in his hand, he held a relic—a mark glowing faintly with an eerie, otherworldly light."This mark," Derek’s voice rang out, slicing through the murmurs of confusion and disbelief, "is proof. Only the true bloodline bearer can possess it." His eyes turned to me then, narrowing with a chilling certainty that sent a tremor down my spine. "And I know it’s not just me. Amara has the same mark."The gasps that followed were

Chapter 29 – The battleAmaraThe silence that followed was suffocating. It was as though the air itself had thickened with the weight of my words, curling around us, forcing us to confront the truth that had shattered everything. Xander stood before me, his gaze intense, unreadable, and yet, there was something raw in the way his shoulders tensed. It was the kind of tension that signified a battle—internally, externally, both.His voice broke the stillness, low and seething. "What are you saying, Amara? What is this? That mark—that bond—what does it mean? Is Derek involved in all of this?"I could see the flash of disbelief in his eyes. He couldn’t understand, couldn’t wrap his mind around how all of this had unfolded. And honestly, I couldn’t either. I wanted to explain it to him, to tell him what had happened, but the truth was, I was still struggling to comprehend it myself."I don’t know, Xander," I murmured, feeling the weight of my own confusion pressing down on me. "I don’t kn

Chapter 30 – The Unraveling. Amara I hadn’t anticipated this. Not really. The sudden shift, the chaos of everything spiraling out of control, it caught me off guard. But as the High Priestess stared me down, her eyes piercing through the veil of uncertainty that had surrounded me since the bond first awoke, something unexpected flickered within me. I didn’t know what it was at first—fear, excitement, or something darker, more primal. But I felt it coil deep inside me, ready to rise, to embrace the chaos. This was what I had wanted, wasn’t it? For so long, I had been living under the shadow of expectations—family, tradition, power struggles that had shaped every aspect of my life. But now, everything was in disarray. The pack was on the edge, the Elders were uneasy, Xander was struggling to keep control—and me? I was at the center of it all, the fulcrum upon which everything teetered. Derek, the bond, the mark—it was all unraveling, piece by piece, and I was at the heart of it, wa

Chapter 31– The Power Within Amara, The silence that followed the explosion of magic was thick—alive, even. It curled around every Elder, coiled around the High Priestess like a snake ready to strike. And I stood in the eye of the storm, calm and steady, as if I had been born for this moment. Because, in truth, I had. I didn’t anticipate all of this unfolding so chaotically, not exactly. I hadn’t expected the sacred hall to fracture with raw energy or the Elders to recoil as if they’d seen a ghost from their nightmares. But part of me… part of me was thrilled that everything had descended into this exact kind of disarray. After all, hadn’t I wanted this? Hadn’t I whispered to the wind for the veil to tear, for the illusion to shatter? This is what it looked like—power shifting, old orders falling. The High Priestess looked like she wanted to disappear into the floor, and the Elders, for once, were speechless. That was worth every second of pain I had endured. A small, satis

Chapter 32– The One Who Watches the Fire Derek She was fire incarnate. I should’ve looked away. Should’ve intervened. Should’ve done anything—anything—but instead, I stood frozen, watching her become the very storm I’d spent years trying to control, contain, or at the very least, understand. The sacred hall split at its seams, stone groaning beneath the weight of ancient forces clawing free. The protective runes flickered like dying stars, as if the old gods themselves were blinking in disbelief. The Elders gasped, their power unraveling like thread in her presence, while the High Priestess staggered as though her spine had been ripped from her body. And Amara… Amara stood tall, unshaken, the eye of the tempest. As if she had not merely survived the chaos—but had birthed it. Maybe she had. My heart pounded, sharp and erratic. Not from fear—no, it was something deeper. Darker. The kind of dread that only comes when you realize you've spent your entire life playing by rules

MATED TO THE ALPHA HEIR No longer Alone
Chapter 51: No longer AloneAmaraThe flames still crackled behind me, their heat licking at my raw, blistered skin, but I didn’t flinch. I wouldn’t give them the satisfaction. The Elders had bowed. The warriors had lowered their heads. The fire had accepted me. And yet, none of that mattered as much as the emptiness blooming in my chest.They had seen what they needed to see—a Luna forged in agony. But I wasn’t thinking about ceremony or power or acceptance. I was thinking about the searing pain pulsing through every nerve, the tremble I refused to let show, and the eyes I felt watching me from the shadows beyond the ceremonial circle.Xander.He was there before I even called for him.Strong arms wrapped around me, careful not to touch the scorched skin of my legs. His scent hit me—earth, cedar, storm. Familiar. Safe. He lifted me like I weighed nothing, as if I weren’t the woman who had just walked through fire to prove herself worthy. As if I were something fragile he couldn't bea
MATED TO THE ALPHA HEIR The Fire Beneath the Crown
Chapter 50: The Fire Beneath the CrownAmara,The council chamber reeked of old smoke and older blood. It clung to the stone walls like a ghost of wars long past. A wide circle of jagged granite surrounded the sunken pit in the center—a relic from the days when Alphas fought with claw and fang beneath the moonlight, when titles were earned not by politics but by combat.Now, that pit bore no fresh blood. Only words were flung here, but make no mistake—the wounds cut just as deep.I stood alone on the upper platform, spine straight, shoulders squared, hands relaxed at my sides. Not clenched. Not trembling. Not submissive.Not afraid.They hadn’t expected me to come. I saw it in their eyes, felt it in the uneasy glances cast between their robes. They expected I would cower behind Xander’s title, let him speak for me, hide in the shadow of his power like some fragile decoration unworthy of the crown.They thought the Luna was still that broken girl—rejected, cast out, crawling through th
MATED TO THE ALPHA HEIR The Weight of want
Chapter 48Amara – The Weight of WantThe moonlight poured through the high windows like a silent witness, casting ghostly patterns across the stone floor of the Luna’s chamber. Shadows shifted, long and reaching, echoing the unrest in my soul. The fire in the hearth remained unlit. I didn’t need it tonight. The cold had become a strange sort of comfort—a punishment, maybe. Or a reminder that the warmth I truly craved wasn’t something flames could offer.It came from him.From Xander.I stood at the window, fingers curled around the heavy velvet curtain, staring down at the empty training grounds. Hours ago, they were filled with the sounds of battle cries, steel meeting steel, the dull thud of fists against flesh. Now, silence reigned. But I still saw him there, moving like the storm that carved mountains, like a beast born from fury and discipline. Relentless. Unyielding. Terrifyingly beautiful.Alpha.And, by every contract inked in blood and ambition—mine.A chill crept through th
MATED TO THE ALPHA HEIR The Win
Chapter 47: The WinXANDERI waited in the far corner of the war room, where shadows stretched long beneath the ancient beams and the air still smelled of iron and ash. The others had long since left—Elders, warriors, advisors—all filing out after the meeting concluded. Now it was just me, the dying fire, and the heavy silence that seemed to press against my spine like a blade.I didn’t sit. I couldn't. My muscles were too tight, too wired. The wolf inside me stirred, restless, agitated by the storm I knew was coming.The creak of the door behind me sliced through the silence.I didn’t need to turn. I knew who it was.Derek.His scent reached me before his footsteps did—bitter, tense, tinged with the unmistakable undertone of regret. A scent I never thought I’d associate with my brother. He was the golden heir, the chosen one. Regret didn’t fit him—until now.He didn’t speak as he stepped fully into the room. The click of the door shutting echoed like a warning.Still, I didn’t look a
MATED TO THE ALPHA HEIR The Defeat
Chapter 47: The DefeatDEREKThe weight of defeat was heavier than any wound I'd ever taken in battle—and the battlefield had never been kind to me. Scars ran across my skin like old stories, but none of them hurt like this.I paced the length of my room, each step landing hard on the cold marble floor. The space felt smaller than usual, suffocating, as if the walls themselves were ashamed to witness my humiliation. Every breath I took came out sharp, heavy, like I was choking on the air that had once belonged to a victor. My fists opened and closed at my sides, aching for release—anything to take the edge off the frustration building beneath my skin like wildfire.But nothing helped. Nothing could fix what had happened out there. Nothing could undo the moment I looked into her eyes and knew—I’d lost.Amara.The woman fate gave me and I turned away.My fated mate.My mistake.My downfall.She hadn’t just bested me in combat. She’d dismantled the very image I’d spent years building: D
MATED TO THE ALPHA HEIR The taste of victory
Chapter 46: The Taste of VictoryAmara – Crescent Moon Pack, Hall of TriumphThe echo of the crowd still thundered in my ears long after I stepped out of the arena. The stone walls of the Hall of Triumph caught and amplified the remnants of their cheers, twisting them into something almost sacred. I walked with purpose, my chin held high, the dust of the battlefield still clinging to my skin. Every step felt like a reclamation of power—my power. And for the first time in a long time, I didn’t feel like a survivor.I felt like a victor.I had faced the council. I had faced Derek. I had faced the ghosts of every moment I had been silenced, doubted, belittled—and I had conquered them. The weight of centuries of tradition hadn’t crushed me. I had broken it beneath my feet.Xander was at my side, his gaze proud and unwavering. He hadn’t said much since we left the arena, but his silence spoke volumes. His presence alone was grounding. The way he looked at me—it wasn’t just admiration. It w
MATED TO THE ALPHA HEIR The Plot Continues
Chapter 44:The Plot ContinuesLuna Susanne,The flicker of torchlight cast long shadows across the cold stone walls of the Council chamber as I made my way toward the exit. My footsteps echoed in the otherwise quiet hall, the sound reminding me of how alone I truly was in this. Alone, but not powerless.The Council was still buzzing in the aftermath of the challenge. Amara had won, but it hadn’t been a fair fight. It hadn’t been a fight at all. She had used her cunning, her manipulation, to bend the rules in her favor. And now, she was basking in her hollow victory, thinking she had secured her place at the top. She couldn’t be more wrong.Outside, the moon hung high, casting its pale glow over the land. The night felt strangely quiet, as if the pack itself was holding its breath. I could almost feel Amara’s presence from here, the pull of her ill-gotten power—but it didn’t intimidate me. In fact, the longer I thought about it, the more her rise felt like the beginning of the end, a p
MATED TO THE ALPHA HEIR Plot to take over
Chapter 44: Plot to Take overLuna Sunnane – Crescent Moon Pack, Council ChamberThe room was cold, the shadows stretching longer as the sun dipped below the horizon. The large oak table at the center of the council chamber was darkened with the weight of the decisions that had been made within its walls. The tension in the air was thick, like the scent of blood after a battle. I leaned against the stone wall, my arms crossed over my chest, glaring at the scene before me. The voices of the elders, once full of reverence and power, now felt like an incessant hum in my ears.Amara had done it. She had won. And it had been a disaster. A complete mockery of everything we’d worked for, everything we’d sacrificed to keep the pack under control. She had no right. No rightful place. She was nothing but a rogue with a death wish, and yet the pack had let her seize the one thing that had always been ours—power.The Council had spoken, but they had been weak. They had caved under the pressure of
MATED TO THE ALPHA HEIR Reign of Ashes
Chapter 42: Reign of Ashes Xander, The clash of steel against steel echoed through the arena, reverberating against the stone walls, each strike a testament to the raw fury that both Amara and Derek poured into the battle. The arena had become their battleground, the place where destinies were rewritten, and every movement mattered. The air was thick with tension, crackling with the force of their struggle, as the crowd held its collective breath, waiting for the inevitable conclusion. Amara moved with an effortless grace, her body flowing like liquid as she evaded Derek’s strikes. Every movement was a calculated maneuver, every step a part of a larger strategy. Her eyes never left Derek’s, a fire burning behind them that spoke of her unwavering determination. She wasn’t just fighting for her life—she was fighting for something far greater, something more intangible but no less vital. She was fighting for her freedom. Derek, for all his arrogance, was not a fool. He knew what was
