“Flirt with Death”

Alera's POV

It had been one week and three days since the invasion of the rogues in the pack, and ever since Rex’s PA revealed the truth, my mind had not known peace. Something about those words gnawed at me endlessly, as though there was a hidden thread tying everything back to me in ways I couldn’t yet understand.

Life in the pack house had grown easier, almost too easy. For the first time, I was treated with genuine respect, every bow of the maids’ heads and every warm smile reminding me how different things had become.

“You have no idea what you did for me,” Night once told me after I confided in her about the strange kindness I now received. “Of course everyone here will love you.”

Her words warmed my heart, but they also unsettled me. I had never been adored before. I was an Alpha’s daughter, yes—but titles alone had never granted me true acceptance.

As I walked with Night through the long corridors, the maids dipped their heads in reverenc

    Chapter 36********** “Reclaiming My Throne”Kael’s POVBy the time I was done sending her out of my packhouse, the day had already slipped away. The truth was, it all started with my constant travels. To keep her updated on the affairs of the pack—and because she wasn’t just a Beta but also someone I trusted—Elyra had suggested staying in my home.Without giving it much thought, I had agreed. It was nothing more than pure honesty and practicality on my part.But somewhere along the way, she had turned into something else entirely.That morning, before I left home, I had called for a meeting with the elders of the Crescent Moon Pack. It was time I truly stood as Alpha—not just a figurehead, not a puppet.The massive double doors of the council hall creaked open as I stepped in. The guards announced my arrival with a resounding voice:“Let us welcome the Alpha, Alpha Kael.”At once, every council member and elder rose to their feet.The weight of their gazes pressed on me, their respe

  • Marked, But Unwanted    My Breaking Point

    Chapter 35 ********* "My Breaking Point" **Kael's POV** For years—since the moment they crowned me Alpha of this cursed pack—I'd been nothing but a glorified janitor, traveling endlessly to fix the catastrophic mess the previous Alpha left behind. His failures clung to everything like rot, and I was the fool trying to scrub it clean. The memory of Elyra's confession from months ago still burned like acid in my veins. Her words had shattered everything: *"If I had told you, you wouldn't have marked her. That's why we had to trick you."* "What do you mean, trick me?" I'd snarled, fury clawing up my throat. "I had to," she'd said, cold as winter stone. "I noticed that girl liked you, and you—you cared about her in ways that could destroy us. So I tricked you into claiming her." "You know what claiming does, don't you?" My voice had cracked with rage. * "She'll never sense her mate again. There's a chance her mate won't sense her either. All because of your games?" "Stop being p

    Chapter 34 ******* “Caged” Rex’s POV Rage consumed me like wildfire. Four hours. Four goddamn hours I'd been searching for her, tearing through every corner of the packhouse like a man possessed. My wolf was clawing at my insides, desperate and frantic, while my human side battled between fury and bone-deep terror. She was gone. Just... gone. The maid's words kept echoing in my head: "She said I should pick something up, Alpha. Then she just... disappeared." The fear in the woman's voice had only amplified my own panic. I'd immediately organized search parties, sent teams scouring the library, the market, every inch of pack territory. Nothing. No sign of her anywhere. But I could smell her. Her scent lingered in the air like a ghost, taunting me, driving me to the edge of sanity. She was still here, somewhere in the pack, but where the hell was she hiding? Following that intoxicating trail, my anger grew with every step. The closer I got to her location, the more my control

    Chapter 33***********"Ashes of What Remains”Alera's POVThe memories came crashing back, sharp and merciless, as my eyes locked onto him. For a heartbeat, I couldn't breathe. Kael. The same man who had once claimed me, the same man who had left me with a curse I could never fully heal from. And now he was here—right beside me, in the middle of the roaring crowd, as if fate had a twisted sense of humor."W...what are you doing here?" My voice shook as I tried to stand, but the crush of bodies and the thunder of cheers forced me back down onto the stadium seat.I glanced at him, taking in his appearance with a mixture of shock and disgust. His face looked gaunt, his dark blond hair now rough and unkempt, as if he hadn't been taking proper care of it—or himself. His steel-blue eyes, the same ones I had always fallen for, held nothing more than a storm of mixed emotions crashing through their depths. But one thing was evident: the tingling butterflies I had once felt for him were now

  • Marked, But Unwanted    “A Walk to the Library”

    Chapter 32 “A Walk to the Library” Alera’s POV The library stood before me, towering against the sky like a monument of knowledge. It was easily the tallest building I had ever seen, its height so commanding it almost made me feel small. My steps slowed as I reached the entrance, my chest tightening with a mix of awe and nervous anticipation. But when I pushed the heavy doors open, I froze. Inside, the library wasn’t anything like I had imagined. From the outside, it seemed plain, structured, even ordinary—but within… it was breathtaking. The hall stretched out in perfect curves, walls arching in a circular design that defied logic. How could something so normal on the outside feel infinite inside? My lips parted in wonder. “Oh, to behold this beauty,” I whispered, almost to myself. “Let me guess… it’s your first time here?” The voice startled me. I glanced over my shoulder to see a young woman, her smile curious but kind. I nodded absently, my eyes still clinging to th
