The fire had burned low, throwing restless shadows across the sitting room. I couldn’t stop wringing my hands.

Alpha Aldric should have been here by now. He’d promised that by this week he would be healed, that the wound was only a mark of victory. But victory didn’t keep someone from coming home. Was he avoiding me because I’m an Omega who didn't meet up to the standards of an Alpha like him?

I stared into the flames. How strong was this Lycan to wound him so badly? And why?

Father paced by the window, the weight of his worry plain in every heavy step. “They should have sent word sooner,” he muttered. “If those Elders can't heal him, we’ll have to summon our council’s healers.”

I lifted my gaze. “But, Father… Aldric has been gone so long. The healers said the wound would heal. What if—”

“Do not speak that thought, Evelyn.” His voice cut through mine, gentler after a moment. “He will recover.”

Across from us,Lord Dylen lounged in his chair, too composed. His eyes followed t

  • My Father's Best Friend Is My Mate And My Stalker   Chapter Forty

    EVELYN’S POV The scent that hit me wasn’t ordinary,fresh pine mixed with something richer.My breath stuttered. My palms flattened against his chest, and dear moon goddess, it felt like touching carved stone.“Whoa…” I whispered.The stranger looked down at me with a faint smirk tugging at his lips. Brown hair framed his face in a messy, almost careless way that shouldn’t have been this perfect. And those eyes,light brown, studied me as if he knew exactly who I was. For a few seconds, I couldn’t think. My wolf stirred uneasily. He smells like…“Wolf,” Sylvara finished for me, her voice sharp, alert. “Definitely a wolf.”Then his lips parted, his voice smooth and deep enough to ripple through my chest. “Daughter of Alpha Rosendale?” he whispered.My eyes widened. “H-how do you—?”He smiled, the corners of his mouth curving upward so effortlessly it was almost unfair. “You really don’t hide your scent that well, princess.”Princess? Why did that sound cute in his lips? Before I could s

  • My Father's Best Friend Is My Mate And My Stalker   Chapter Thirty Nine

    EVELYN’S POV When I opened my eyes, the ceiling wasn’t the one from Silver Pine Pack.No creaky wood, no faint scent of pine or wolf musk. Just a smooth, cream ceiling and the smell of… vanilla? For a moment, I blinked at it, confused. Did I die?Then a familiar voice chuckled in my head.“You’d never get through the moon gates, sweetheart. You’re too dramatic for heaven.”I gasped, sitting up instantly. “Sylvara!”“I’m still alive and thriving in your head,” she purred. “You think I’d let you have peace and quiet?”I let out a shaky breath.“Goddess, you scared me. I thought you—”“vanished? Please. You couldn’t get rid of me even if you tried.” Silly wolf!The room was spacious, with cream-colored curtains and a view of the city skyline through the tall window. I wasn’t in the pack anymore,that much was obvious. I guess Dad moved me here while I was asleep.So this is the human world, I thought while dragging a hand through my hair. Doesn’t look so bad.A knock suddenly echoed throu

    ***The Lycan Kingdom***The moon above the Lycan kingdom hung huge and full, painting the stone walls of the royal hall in silver fire. The sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the marble corridor, followed by the heavy thud of someone dropping to his knees before the dais.“Your Majesty!” The warrior’s voice trembled as he bowed low, his chest heaving from the run. “Forgive the intrusion, but the news is dire.”The Queen of the Lycans,queen Varka slowly rose from her throne. Just as the moon goddess was superior over the wolves,so was she to the Lycans. She stood tall, graceful, and terrifyingly beautiful, her silver-white hair spilled down her back like waterfalls. Her eyes—those same mercurial eyes her sons inherited gleamed like storm-forged steel.She was old, yes,but not in appearance. She still looked like a woman in her twenties.“Speak,” she ordered, her tone smooth yet deadly. “And do not hide a thing from me unless death follows your words.”The warrior swallowed hard

    Pain burned through my veins like fire. I gritted my teeth, my vision blurring as I tried to rise, but my legs betrayed me. The wound from the goddess’s arrow was aching me. Its divine essence clung to my flesh, it made breath ache.“Let me help you, my Lord.”Rhydian’s voice was firm but laced with worry. He reached down and hooked his arm beneath mine, steadying me as I stumbled to my feet. The man was battered himself, his once-bright armor dulled with soot and blood, his silver hair sticking to his forehead.I managed a small, crooked grin. “You look worse than I do.”He smirked faintly. “At least I’m not glowing my lord.”True— faint veins of silver still pulsed beneath my skin where the goddess’s magic lingered. I could feel it gnawing at me from the inside, trying to remind me that I was going to fail but I ignored it Kaela turned toward us, her hands already lifting. “Enough standing in the open men. We need shelter.”The ground trembled under her voice. The air around her sh

    The ground trembled under the weight of clashing power. Kaela’s dark magic burst in red-black waves as she fought the goddess’s soldiers, Rhydian’s sword glinting beside her like a streak of lightning.I stood still before the barrier. It glowed in golden light and I felt like it was watching me like a living thing, waiting for me to make my decision. The air thickened around me, the scent of divine magic biting at my skin, warning me to turn back.Kaelith stirred within me.“You know the Moon goddess is watching,don’t you?” his deep voice rumbled in my head, low and ancient.“I am very much aware,” I whispered, my eyes locked on the rippling glow. “Our mate waits beyond that wall,” Kaelith growled, his tone edged with primal hunger. “Her soul still hums for us, even if her mind does not remember. Find her. Mark her. Make her ours again. No one— not goddess, not Alpha, not mortal, will stop us.”My lips curved into a shadowed smile. “You forget, Kaelith… I am a beast, same as you.”H

    The words hung in the air like a curse.For a long moment, I said nothing. The night wind howled across the cliffs, carrying the taste of magic and betrayal. My gaze fixed on the barrier, its light reflecting in my golden eyes,then I chuckled. “She truly thinks she can chain me,” I said at last, my tone quiet, almost dangerous. “I wonder what she's thinking now, that I will come and beg?.” I scoffed.“Preposterous,” Kaelith growled.Rhydian growled low. “The goddess has gone too far this time. She’s afraid of what you are, my Lord.”Kaela’s jaw tightened. “She’s not afraid,” she said bitterly. “She’s spiteful. The Lycan blood reminds her of her failure,the beings she created but couldn’t control.”I tilted my head slightly, studying the threads of power weaving through the barrier. It shimmered with divine essence…the kind that burned at my touch. Kaelith stirred deep within me, he was restless,and he snarled against the magic pressing down on us.“She’s severed my connection,” I murmu
