Alpha’s Claimed Mate Chapter 1.
ASHER’s POV. THREE YEARS AGO. Growing up in Raven’s Peak has been nothing but torture to me, everywhere I go I hear snickers and gossips in the air, the Moon Clan has heard the stories about my father and his affection for humans—and it is believed that I am a seed of such affection hence the delay in my ability to transform into a wolf. I have been the subject of curiosity and fascination among the Pack. Kids were warned against associating themselves with me, daughters told not to fall in love with me, it is believed I bring nothing but bad luck to the clan. I am viewed as a disease among the bloodline. My only source of strength is the love and support my father, Thane Nightshade and my best friend, Ethan Moore showed to me on a daily basis. My father has been the Alpha for as long as I can remember, everything started to go downhill the day he decided to have an affair with a human, plots were made to remove him from his position, banish him from the clan but my father stil

EMBER’s POv.“Ughhh!!” A slight groan leaves my mouth as I alight from the cab. A three hour journey from New York to this place is really tiring, I can’t even lie. A few days ago, I stumbled upon an interview done by one of America’s leading journalists and she mentioned this town. All my life, I never knew this existed because standing here, I can’t help but be in awe of what I am seeing. It is not that secluded from New York but it looks like a whole different world all together. Beautiful infrastructures and buildings. I also heard that the people of the town are friendly and welcoming.When I heard about them from the interview, my artistic mind kicked in and I rushed to get permission from the higher ups to come and check it out. Believe me, I am already loving it.“This is the last of your luggage ma’am” the cab driver says and I nod, flashing him a smile.“Thank you so much sir” I tell him.“You have my card, let me know anytime you need to take a tour around the city and I w

EMBER’s POV. After leaving Enid and the other people she introduced me to, i decide to grab a coffee before heading home. It is already a bit late and the roads have become a little empty like everyone is rushing to go somewhere. Far in the sky, i see the full moon journeying to the center of the sky. I have always been fascinated by the full moon because on such days, it feels like there is a kind of power that surges through my veins on days like this but I laugh it off. It’s not like I believe in zodiac signs or some sort of universal entity so it’s just me wanting to think wild. The night is a bit chilly so I try to hurry to the house but I stop short when I start hearing howling sounds from afar. Is there something going on that I am not aware of? I look around and there are only a few people left on the streets and they don't look like they are bothered by the sound. Either they don’t care or they can’t hear it. Mustering courage, I walk over to an old lady who is closing her

ASHER’s POV. Black long hair cascading down her back, eyes that looked like the ocean had come to me, slim yet I could see her curves from the pair of shorts and shirt she wore. Her lips are full and sultry, she was a beauty to behold. This is the perfect description of the woman seated beside me as I drive to her house. When Enid called and told me earlier about a human in Raven’s peak, I told her to send me her address. Yes, we have a lot of humans in Raven’s peak but all of them were aware of the rules and didn’t act out of the ordinary but I am sure this journalist wouldn’t do that. I had a background check done on her and I found out who she was and why she had come here. It’s not my duty to keep her safe but something inside of me wanted to and that’s why I decided to come for her myself to keep her safe.. I have come across daring young ladies and none of them ended well. You could say raven’s peak is particular about who we let in. Three years ago, I set some form of new ru

AMBER’S POV“What a day!” I say to myself as I make my way out of the shower in my bathrobe to the wardrobe, I browse through my clothes in search of my nightie, I want to be as comfortable as I can be. I need all the rest I can get. I finally found the perfect silky nightwear to drape on for the night. “Ugh!” A slight groan escaped my mouth as I finally laid in my bed for the first time in hours.Laying in bed reminiscing about how hectic of a day today was, the beautiful scenery of this town, no matter how hard I try, I can’t just seem to get the thoughts of how many beautiful pictures I’ve taken since I arrived in Raven’s Peak.The townspeople are very strange but yet welcoming and warm.. there’s beauty in the strangeness I guess. What’s with the talk of how dangerous it is to walk at night and staying indoors all night on this particular night. Something is definitely off and I can’t seem to place my fingers on it. “Asher Nightshade! Good strong name” my attention got shifted to

AMBER’S POV.Flickering my eyes rapidly as the bright light of early morning shines directly at my face. I can’t believe I let myself sleep all night in this terribly dusty and unkept basement. That’s the power of shock mixed with awe I reckon. What in the actual fuck happened last night? The Newspapers absolutely did not make mention of any wolves related stories in Raven’s Peak, did I miss that bit? Was I overwhelmed by the beauty of this town to not pick the tiny details mentioning the existence of wolves in it? I can’t even imagine all the horror stories told to us as kids concerning the existence of werewolves were true. I allowed my mind to wander around asking myself these questions while I lay still on the floor. There’s only one prominent question lingering in the back of my mind and refuses to leave “Did i make a mistake coming down here?”*Ringing* My phone jolts me outta the trance I’m in. I start digging through the boxes laying beside me because I can’t really remembe

ASHER’S POVThe moon hung low in the sky, casting an eerie silver glow over the Moon Room. The air was alive with the scent of damp earth and decayed dead bodies. It was like every usual night in the small town of Raven’s Peak. But for me, this is a night of reckoning. I’ve been waiting for this moment for weeks now.I stood right in the center of the Moon Room, in the exact same spot I stood during my trial day three years ago. It still feels like yesterday, the shock on their faces when I revealed my alpha mark, the screams of the victims as I choked the life out of them.Ethan and my Father! I still get nightmares of that night, little disturbing fragments of how they died fighting by my side. I took a deep breath, the cool night air filling my lungs. Tonight, I will face my monsters. Tonight I would put an end to the ever-occurring nightmares that grips me every night for the last three years.“You stand just like him” I heard a hoarse and eerie voice behind me, and a figure comin

ASHER’S POVI took one last glance at my wrist watch and curse at the fact that Amber has not returned any of my calls yet. I don’t know why I keep finding myself calling her even after I said I wouldn’t. Something is definitely wrong with me, in as much as this is a strange feeling. I kind of like how it feels. I’m Alpha and I usually get whatever I wanted. But she sure as hell don’t care about none of that. I picked up my phone from the office table and called Raul, if she doesn’t wanna talk to me, fine. I’ll still want to know if she’s okay regardless.“Hello Alpha” Raul says on the other side of the phone.“How’s it going?” I ask“Calm as a dove, she hasn’t left the condo yet, the only movement was when she came out to pickup a delivery…pizza”“Great, keep a safe distance, we don’t want to spook her into thinking you’re stalking her and create another suspicious activity” I added“Yes Alpha” Raul says.As soon as I dropped the call I heard a knock on my office door.“Your 2 o’clo

Alpha’s Claimed Mate CHAPTER 67: THE MOON EYES.
POV: Akira.FLASHBACK – 2 years ago.The air was thick with sage and salt.Akira knelt before the altar carved into the stone wall, its surface lined with old runes and melted wax. Her breath came slow and shallow. Her fingers were stained with ash.She had fasted for two days. Not for ritual—but because her spirit had started to itch. The way it always did when the veil thinned.Now, as the silver bowl of moonwater before her began to ripple without touch, Akira let her eyes drift shut.Her voice, rough from silence, barely stirred the air.**AKIRA**Mother of shadow and firelight... show me what comes next. Show me *her*.The room darkened.And then—Moonlight poured through the stone slit above, impossibly bright. It struck the bowl like a blade.Akira’s body arched, eyes wide and white. Her mind was no longer in the shrine.She stood somewhere higher now—where mist curled like breath, and stars spun slow in a night sky more real than the waking world.And in the silence came a voi
Alpha’s Claimed Mate CHAPTER 66: THE AWAKENING.
POV: Ember Wellesley.The wind had changed.It wasn’t just moving—it was guiding.Ember stepped to the edge of the ridge, eyes half-closed, the crystal in her palm humming in rhythm with her pulse. Below them, the valley stirred with unseen movement—roots twitching, stones shifting, like an old creature stretching awake.**ASHER (watching her)** It’s responding to you.She opened her eyes. For the first time, she wasn’t afraid of the pull.**EMBER** No. It’s recognizing me.Suddenly—**a sharp click** echoed from above. Asher turned too late.**THWIP.**A dart shot toward Ember, fast and precise.**ASHER** Ember!But she didn’t flinch. Her hand lifted instinctively, glowing faintly—like heat shimmering above a flame.The tranquilizer dart stopped inches from her chest. Hovered. Then—**snapped backwards** in mid-air as if struck by invisible force.It slammed into a tree with a thud.From above, Enid cursed.Ember raised her gaze to the slope above them and saw her—**Enid**, half-
Alpha’s Claimed Mate CHAPTER 65: PICTURE PERFECT.
POV: Ember Wellesley.The light filtered soft and gold through the wide windows. Ember stood by her desk, flipping through a stack of prints—her recent work. Mostly quiet shots: the way moss clung to the base of pine trees after rain, a deer frozen mid-step in the mist, and one she kept setting aside but couldn’t ignore—A photo she’d taken during a sleepless night.The earth had cracked open just past the southern ridge, steam curling from the soil like breath. In the center of the frame stood Asher, half in shadow, half bathed in silver light, his expression unreadable. The mountain loomed behind him like something ancient and watchful.She hadn’t meant to capture *that*, not exactly. But the moment had been real. Raw.Her phone buzzed.She glanced at it.**UNKNOWN NUMBER.**She almost didn’t answer.But something told her to.**EMBER (tentatively)** Hello?There was a pause. Then a crisp, modulated voice answered. Genderless. Almost too calm.**CALLER** Ms. Wellesley?**EMBER**
Alpha’s Claimed Mate CHAPTER 64: AWARE WOLF.
POV: Asher Nightshade.The once-pristine boardroom smelled like cold coffee and fear. Half the chairs were empty. The skyline beyond the glass wall felt distant—gray and uncaring.Asher stood at the head of the table. He looked tired in a way that wasn’t just physical—like something had hollowed him out, and he was still trying to figure out what parts were left.Across from him sat Marisol Vega, sharp-eyed and impeccably dressed despite the chaos. She’d been with the company since the beginning. Not a friend, exactly—but loyal when it counted.Three investors remained. Older men, hardened by years of risk. One tapped a pen against a notepad. Another scrolled his phone like he wanted to be anywhere else.ASHER (steady)You all read the report. We’re hemorrhaging faster than projected. Lark’s exit didn’t just gut our finances—he took half the tech with him. Patents, permits, drilling data...INVESTOR 1 (dryly)So the ship’s sinking. Why not just let it go down?Marisol leaned in, voice
Alpha’s Claimed Mate CHAPTER 63: A PART OF IT ALL.
POV: ASHER AND EMBER.The room was dim, lit only by the soft lamp on the desk and the fire flickering low in the hearth. Ember sat curled on the window bench, a worn blanket draped over her legs, one hand resting gently on her belly.Asher stepped in quietly, closing the door behind him. She looked up, sensing something was different.**EMBER** You’re late.**ASHER** Got caught in the library.He crossed the room and sat across from her, elbows on his knees. For a moment, he just looked at her. She had changed—so had he—but now he could *see* it, what Maela had seen.**ASHER (softly)** I talked to Maela. The girl who… knew about you. About your blood.**EMBER (tensing slightly)** What did she say?He hesitated.**ASHER** That you’re not just the cure. You’re part of something deeper. Something that *chose* you.Ember blinked, a mix of confusion and quiet dread passing across her face.**EMBER** I’m just… me, Asher. I didn’t ask to be part of any prophecy. I was locked in a
Alpha’s Claimed Mate CHAPTER 62: OLD FRIENDS
POV: Julian St. Clair.The sun hadn’t fully risen. The light coming through the windows was pale and unsure—like it didn’t quite know what kind of day it was meant to be.**Julian** stood in the doorway of the small private wing where **Vivianne** was being monitored. She was asleep, one hand resting lightly over her growing belly. It was barely visible yet, but real. Undeniable.He didn’t step in right away. Just stood there. Watching. Feeling the weight of everything that had come before pressing against his ribs like armor that didn’t fit anymore.A small bundle of baby clothes sat folded on the windowsill. Knit by hand. Soft grays and forest greens. Probably Ember’s work. Or one of the pack elders. Someone still hopeful.He finally stepped in.The room was quiet, save for Vivianne’s steady breathing. Julian pulled up the old chair beside her bed and sat, elbows on his knees, hands hanging between them.He spoke without looking at her.**JULIAN** “I don’t know what kind of father
Alpha’s Claimed Mate CHAPTER 61: THE WEIGHT OF TRUTH.
POV: Asher Nightshade.The sun dipped behind the modern, fortified walls of Raven’s Peak, casting long, golden strokes across Asher’s study. The room, usually a refuge of quiet determination, felt heavy tonight. Stacks of untouched reports and blueprints sat on the desk while a half-open file bore the weight of his company’s fate.Ember’s soft breathing came from the nursery down the hall—her presence a gentle reminder of what they were fighting to protect.Asher’s phone buzzed insistently on the desk. Glancing at the screen, his face fell as he pressed play on a new voicemail from an unknown number.VOICEMAIL (muffled voice):“Asher Nightshade, this is Calvin Rowe from Rowan & Finch Law. We’ve just received confirmation of the final filings—Nightshade Power Inc. is formally declaring Chapter 11 bankruptcy. I’m sorry, sir. We did all we could. If you want to discuss options… please call me.”The line went dead. For a long moment, the only sound in the study was the slow tick of the wa
Alpha’s Claimed Mate CHAPTER 60: WORDS UNSAID.
POV: Julian St. Clair.The light had shifted. A golden glow now spilled through the slats of the blinds, casting long shadows across the floor.Julian sat propped up in bed, pale but alert, a blanket draped across his lap. Machines still hummed quietly around him, but the worst had passed.**The worst.**There was a soft knock at the door.He looked up.**Ember** stepped in, hesitant, a paper cup in one hand and tiredness behind her eyes. She looked unsure whether she was supposed to be there.**EMBER** “I brought you broth. Augustus said you’d be too weak for solid food.”Julian gave a faint, dry smile.**JULIAN** “Can’t remember the last time someone brought me soup without trying to poison me.”That got the smallest twitch of a smile from her too.She stepped forward, set the cup on the side table, then stood there—awkwardly. Her arms crossed, as if bracing herself for more tension.**EMBER** “I can go if you—”**JULIAN (quickly)** “No. Please. Stay.”She nodded, slowly low
Alpha’s Claimed Mate CHAPTER 59: THE COST OF BLOOD.
POV: EMBER WELLESLEY.The lights were too bright. The kind that made you feel like you were being seen down to the bone.**Ember** sat on the edge of the lab bed, her sleeves rolled up, arm bare. **Augustus** moved efficiently, attaching a pressure cuff to her bicep while a nurse prepped the equipment.The needle glinted under the lights.**EMBER (quietly)** “Tell me again this will help him.”Augustus paused. His voice softened just enough.**AUGUSTUS** “We don’t know everything. But your blood reacted with Julian’s markers when we tested the first vial. Not just stabilized—*reversed* damage. Whatever’s in your system… it’s fighting the poison.”**EMBER** swallowed. Her other hand rested over the slight swell of her stomach.**EMBER** “It’s not just me, is it?”Augustus met her eyes.**AUGUSTUS** “It’s your child. The bond of blood. Wellesley and Nightshade—united.”She looked away, blinking fast. The nurse nodded, inserting the needle into her arm. Blood flowed through the t
