MATED TO THE ALPHA HEIR The unseen path
Chapter 13: The Unseen PathXanderThe air in the mansion was heavy with the weight of history—old grudges and power struggles stretching across generations. My footsteps echoed against the cold stone as I followed Amara down the dimly lit corridor, my wolf stirring uneasily within me.Where had she been?There were no marks on her—no sign of struggle. She seemed fine, yet the blood… the blood had been hers. I couldn’t shake the thought.Amara’s presence was a contradiction—calm yet calculated, distant yet sharp-edged. She moved with precision, without hesitation, her posture betraying no hint of vulnerability. It was as though she had simply stepped away for a while, vanishing into thin air.She wasn’t here as my fated mate. She wasn’t mine.She was here because we had a contract. A deal that would ensure we both came out on top.A contract built on revenge, betrayal, and one thing we both shared—our hatred for Derek and the woman who had chosen him over me.My grandmother.At the en

Chapter 14: A weapon Amara The moment Xander agreed to my plan, a surge of satisfaction rippled through me. It wasn’t an expression I often allowed myself, but with him, it was different. He was a means to an end. No, not just a means—he was the catalyst. A tool. A weapon. And he didn’t even know it yet. I watched as he took the photograph, his eyes scanning it, his thoughts clearly racing behind those icy blue eyes of his. He’d been in the dark for so long, and now he was finally beginning to see the pieces align. But it wasn’t just about the game between Xander and Derek. It was about more. This was the beginning of a much larger battle, one that had been set in motion the moment my heart had shattered into pieces, discarded by fate and crushed under the weight of the family’s expectations. I had always been overlooked, always been the second choice, the one they didn’t care for. And Derek... Derek had been everything they wanted. My grandmother had chosen him to be the

Chapter 15: The ChallengeXANDER,Doubt slithered in like fog—quiet, dense, insidious.It was a sensation I had known all too well over the years, but tonight, it sank deeper into my chest than ever before. I sat alone in the study, a room that once belonged to my father. Now, it felt like a tomb—cold and suffocating. The air was heavy with the weight of a legacy I hadn’t earned, with expectations that had been thrust upon me the moment I drew my first breath.Dust-covered heirlooms stared at me from the shelves, like ghosts with opinions I was too tired to acknowledge. Their glares felt like judgments, the kind that seeped into your bones and twisted into something darker. Maps, scent reports, case files—they lay scattered across my desk in a chaotic sprawl. Useless. Every last one of them. My father's prized possessions—symbols of power, authority, and a family legacy—meant nothing in the face of my failure. And that’s exactly what I was beginning to see it all as: failure.Darius h

Chapter 16: Hunting the MonsterAMARAThe moment I sent the message, I knew he’d come. Xander couldn’t resist the chase, and I was just as much the hunt as the one doing the hunting. I had called him here for a reason. And from the moment I stepped onto the training yard, alone, under the sliver of moonlight, I could feel it—his presence was already tugging at the edges of the night.He didn’t disappoint. His footsteps came in steady, determined strides, breaking through the quiet like the low growl of a predator. When he emerged from the shadows, his form carved out in silver, I didn’t have to look at him to know what kind of storm he carried with him. I could feel it in the air—the tension, the hunger, the promise of something dark."You’re late," I said without looking his way. The words felt sharp, cutting the space between us."Family drama," he muttered, and I could tell from the way he said it that it wasn’t something he wanted to delve into.I finally turned to face him, my ey

Chapter 17 – The Hunt ContinuesXANDER,The moon hung low over the Crescent Mountains, veiled by a curtain of thick clouds as if the heavens themselves were holding their breath. Wind whispered through the treetops, carrying the scent of pine, frost, and something else—blood. I adjusted the obsidian-dipped leather straps of my armor, each etched with wolfsbane runes. It wasn’t just protection—it was a declaration. I was no longer the reckless heir chasing shadows.I was the Alpha-in-waiting. And tonight, I intended to earn the title in blood.Amara stood a few feet away, bathed in torchlight. Her silver dagger caught the fire, gleaming like moonlight on fresh snow. She looked like a legend reborn—deadly, divine, untouchable. Her scent drifted toward me, a maddening mix of wildfire and crushed moonstone. Every instinct in me stirred, clawing for more of her. But now wasn’t the time.We were hunting a traitor. Together.“You’re quiet,” she said, adjusting the strap of her thigh holster.
Last Updated : 2025-04-05MATED TO THE ALPHA HEIR The Brother’s Gambit
Chapter 18: Interlude – The Brother’s Gambit DEREK, The scent of night-blooming hemlock drifted through the chamber—sweet, narcotic, masking the sharper tang of silver ink, scorched herbs, and blood. The walls were lined with runes carved deep into stone, glowing faintly with violet light. My grandmother used to say the magic in this room was older than the mountain itself. Older, even, than the Sinclairs. She feared this place. I found comfort in it. I dipped the raven feather quill into the bowl of blood mixed with powdered obsidian. The ink hissed as it met the parchment—blessed vellum, torn from the skin of a shadowed elk. Old magic required old sacrifices. I dragged the quill across the page in long, slow strokes, etching each rune with reverence. This wasn’t just a contract. It was a birthright. A knock echoed on the oak door—soft, restrained. Hesitant. “Enter,” I said, not pausing my writing. Gareth stepped inside. His boots were caked in mud, his cloak soaked through

Chapter 19:- The AftermathAMARAThe weight of the night pressed down on me, thick and suffocating, as I sat in the car. My fingers clutched the leather seat, but the hum of the engine was nothing more than background noise to the chaos in my mind. The silence between Xander and me was unbearable, thick with tension—an unspoken understanding that made the air feel charged. Darius was dead. My plan, my carefully laid plans for power, were in ruins. And I felt myself sinking deeper into a hole that I wasn’t sure I could escape.I glanced at Xander, his jaw clenched tight, eyes focused on the road, his mind no doubt tangled in the web of questions I was desperately trying to keep hidden. I couldn’t let him know the truth. Not now. Not ever. If anyone found out about my connection to Darius… it would be over for me. The wolf in me snarled at the thought of betrayal, but there was no room for mercy in this game."Get the head," I said, my voice icy, though it cracked with the coldness cour
Last Updated : 2025-04-05MATED TO THE ALPHA HEIR Search for the truth
Chapter 20: Search for the TruthAmaraThe night air was thick with the scent of rain, though it had yet to fall. My steps echoed through the darkened alley as I walked towards the hospital, the cold air biting at my skin. But it couldn’t match the chill spreading through my chest. There was a growing pressure on me, a gnawing sensation that something far darker was closing in, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was being hunted. As a wolf, my instincts were never wrong, but I didn’t have the luxury of stopping and looking over my shoulder. Not now.The hospital lights ahead flickered like distant beacons in a world that seemed to grow darker by the second. With every step, the tension inside me mounted. I pushed open the hospital doors, the cold air inside greeting me with the harsh, sterile scent of antiseptic, mixing with the underlying dampness of the old building. But it wasn’t just the smell of the hospital that clung to the air—it was something more. An energy, palpable an

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

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
