ASHER’S POV

The sun stared back at me as I looked up at it, as if it had some of the answers to my questions. I stood here at the entrance of the cabin for minutes examining and scanning the crime scene before me.

On the ground, the omega, Manny, lays motionless, his bulgy eyes frozen in a permanent stare. My heart sank as I continued to take in the sight of Manny’s lifeless body.

“Who could have done this?” I growl, my voice barely above a whisper.

“We need to investigate” Kyrie says, emerging from the shadows and halting close to the dead body “This was no accident” he added.

My gaze fell upon the puncture wounds on the neck of Manny, and my mind started racing with the implications that this was a murder and the killer is still out there. This struck close to home and Amber’s cabin is just a few blocks away. I was relieved abit to see it was not her body I’m staring down at. I don’t know what I would have done.

I drove out here with some Pack members; Augustus the Pack’s heal

  • Alpha’s Claimed Mate.   CHAPTER 137: CHASING GHOSTS

    POV: AsherI’m sprinting to the Big House’s storage room, Glock in hand, Ember’s footsteps fading as she races to the safehouse to check on Rowan and Caelen. The guard’s words—*“Blood opens the way”*—burn in my mind, a taunt from the Order. The east wing’s a mess, door splintered, but as I step inside, my flashlight sweeps over crates and files, all untouched. Nothing’s missing, just like Tom said. My Skinwalker senses flare, a prickle at the back of my neck, but there’s no one here. Just that damn burner phone on the floor, screen glowing with the message.“Distraction,” I mutter, grabbing the phone, my comm crackling. “Ember, you with the pups?”Her voice comes through, tense but steady. “They’re fine, Asher. Lupa’s got them. Caelen’s sleeping, Rowan’s fussing but safe. No breach here.”I exhale, but my gut’s still knotted. “Storage is intact. Nothing taken. It’s another feint.”“They’re screwing with us,” Ember says, anger sharp. “Keeping us running while they plan the real hit.”I

  • Alpha’s Claimed Mate.   CHAPTER 136: SKINWALKER BURDEN

    Pov: EmberMy pulse thunders as Asher and I sprint toward the north gate, his Glock drawn, my knife gleaming in my fist. The guard’s radio crackles—*“Three figures, cloaked, moving fast!”*—and the words hit like a gut punch. Aiden’s gone, but his master’s goons are here, hunting Rowan and Caelen. The safehouse is locked down with Lupa, but I feel the threat closing in. Jaxon, the wolf from the council, flanks us, his eyes glowing with the edge of a shift. Human guards—Tom and Sarah among them—follow, clutching rifles, their faces grim.“Status!” Asher snaps into his comm, skidding to a stop at the gate’s control room.“Cameras are dead,” a guard replies, voice tight. “They’re at the fence—blades, maybe guns. No glowing eyes.”“Same playbook as last night,” I say, checking my knife’s grip. “They’re testing us.”Asher nods, scanning the monitors, all static. “Jaxon, take point. Ember, with me. Humans, cover the flanks.”Jaxon growls, claws extending. “Let’s tear ‘em apart.”“No kills,”

  • Alpha’s Claimed Mate.   CHAPTER 135: OUR PEAK

    Pov: Asher.My boots echo on the hardwood as Ember and I stride into the living room, the air thick with tension. President Donavan stands by the fireplace, his tailored suit crisp despite the late hour, flanked by two Secret Service agents, hands near their holsters. His gray eyes meet mine, calm but calculating, like he’s sizing up a chessboard. The guards at the door shift, uneasy, their radios buzzing low. Ember’s beside me, her jaw set, eyes flicking between Donavan and the agents. Upstairs, Lupa’s with the pups, but Aiden’s death and that vanishing figure have me on edge.“Alpha Asher, Luna Ember,” Donavan says, voice smooth, extending a hand. “I apologize for the unannounced visit.”I shake his hand, firm, not breaking eye contact. “President Donavan. You’re a long way from D.C. What brings you to Raven’s Peak?”He gestures to the couch, but I stay standing. He sits, crossing his legs. “Trouble. Your town’s a powder keg—attacks, breaches, a dead man in your Moon Room. I hear yo

  • Alpha’s Claimed Mate.   CHAPTER 134: LUNA EMBER

    Pov: Luna Ember The Moon Room crackles with tension, moonlight spilling through the skylight, carving crescent shadows on the stone walls. I stand at the center, Asher beside me, his alpha presence grounding the room. The Nightshade council—five elders, their eyes sharp and unyielding—sits in a semicircle, silent but heavy with judgment. Aiden’s hauled in, wrists zip-tied, face bruised, his smirk a defiant taunt. Guards shove him to his knees. My knife’s at my hip, begging to be drawn, but I keep my voice ice-cold. “Who’s your boss, Aiden? How deep does their operation run?”He laughs, a jagged edge to it. “You think I’ll crack, Luna? You’re nothing to me.”Asher steps closer, voice a low growl. “Talk. Who’s funding you? What’s in the Raven’s Peak vault?”Aiden’s eyes glint, but he doesn’t budge. “The vault’s your funeral, Alpha. Secrets that’ll torch your little human-wolf peace. My master’s in your streets, your guards. You’re already done.”An elder leans forward, voice like grave

  • Alpha’s Claimed Mate.   CHAPTER 133: COEXISTENCE

    **Flashback: Moons Ago....**I’m crouched by the fire, the crackle of burning logs filling the clearing as Thane Nightshade pokes at the embers with a stick, his broad shoulders hunched. The forest around us is quiet, save for the distant hoot of an owl, his dark eyes glinting with barely contained anger. The air smells of pine and smoke, but the tension between us is thicker than both. We’re young, barely past our first shifts, but the weight of our packs—Nightshade and St. Clair—rests heavy on us.“You’re dreaming, Thane,” Lucas says, voice sharp, tossing a pebble into the fire. “Wolves and humans living side by side? It’s a fantasy. They fear us. Always will. And fear makes them dangerous.”Thane leans back, wiping dirt from his hands. “They’re not all like that, Lucas. Some want peace, same as us. We don’t have to hunt them for sport to prove we’re strong.”Lucas snorts, shaking his head. “You sound like an old man, preaching harmony. Our packs have survived by being apex, not by

  • Alpha’s Claimed Mate.   CHAPTER 132: OATH IN THE NURSERY

    Pov: Anonymous man.“This better be good, Enid.”“It’s done,” Enid’s voice crackles through, smug as hell. “Aiden’s in their hands. Nightshades grabbed him last night, just like you wanted.”I stop pacing, gripping the phone tighter. “You’re sure? He’s in their basement, tied up?”“Zip-tied to a chair, getting the third degree from Asher and Ember. My drone caught it all before I pulled back.”I let out a breath, a smirk tugging at my lips. “Good. He played his part. Let him squirm.”Enid laughs, low and sharp. “He’s spilling just enough to keep them chasing their tails. Thinks he’s still loyal to you. Pathetic.”“He’s expendable,” I say, voice cold. “Always was. The Nightshades think they’ve got the upper hand now, but they’re distracted. Perfect.”“What’s next?” Enid asks. “They’re locking down the house, doubling guards. Rowan and Caelen are still inside.”“Exactly where I want them,” I say. “The vault at Raven’s Peak is the real prize. Aiden’s capture keeps their eyes off it. You
