MACE

Jackie stepped out of the room, closing the door softly behind her. The moment she met my eyes, her expression told me she already suspected something was very, very wrong.

“Alpha…” she began cautiously.

“Come.”

I jerked my head toward the end of the hallway. I needed distance—just enough that my voice wouldn’t reach the girl sleeping in my bed.

We stopped near the stairs.

Jackie folded her arms, bracing herself. Smart of her. My temper was barely leashed.

“What happened?” she asked.

“She

  • THE ALPHA’S UNWANTED MATE    CHAPTER 50

    JAYNAYAHThree weeks later, the smell of blood was finally gone from my nose.It had taken days of scrubbing, days of standing under scalding hot water until my skin turned raw, to get the phantom scent of Michael’s death off me. But eventually, the crisp pine and rich loam scent of the Rising Moon territory had replaced it.I stood on the balcony of Mace’s room—our room—overlooking the sprawling pack lands below. It was dusk. The air was cooling rapidly, biting at my exposed arms, but I didn't shiver. The cold didn't bother me anymore. Not since I had learned to command a cold far deeper than winter.Below, the pack was moving about their evening routines. It was quieter than before the war. The absorption of the remaining Blood Moon wolves had been… tense. They walked with their heads down, flinching at loud noises, their eyes always darting toward the Alpha house.They weren't afraid of Mace. They were afraid of me.When I walked through the compound now, conversations died. Paths

  • THE ALPHA’S UNWANTED MATE    CHAPTER 49

    JAYNAYAHThe snap of Michael’s neck echoed in the silence like a gavel coming down on a life sentence.Then, everything just… stopped.The violet haze that had painted my vision crowded out, leaving the dim, dusty reality of the room. The ancestral voices, those screaming witches and weeping omegas who had fueled my ascension, didn’t fade away—they simply vanished. It was as if a vacuum had been switched on inside my skull, sucking out the noise and the power in one violent rush.My knees buckled. It wasn't a slow descent; it was a collapse. My body, no longer sustained by the rage of the dead, remembered it was human, exhausted, and traumatized.I didn't hit the floor.Massive, fur-covered arms caught me before I dropped. The heat coming off Mace’s wolf form was intense, burning through the thin, torn fabric of my clothes. He let out a low huff against my neck, his wet nose streaking blood—not his, never his—across my skin.He didn't shift back immediately. He held me there in the da

  • THE ALPHA’S UNWANTED MATE    CHAPTER 48

    JAYNAYAHThe hallway outside erupted. Wood splintered with the force of a cannon blast, and the heavy oak door, still bolted shut, was torn off its hinges. It flew inward, crashing against the opposite wall, missing Michael by inches.Mace filled the doorway.He was terrifying. He was magnificent.He was fully shifted now, a massive timber wolf with fur matted in blood—none of it his own—and eyes burning like molten gold. His jaws were slick with crimson, his chest heaving like a bellows. He scanned the room in a heartbeat, his predatory gaze snapping from the dead guards on the floor to Michael pressed against the wall.A low, rumbling snarl tore from his throat, vibrating through the floorboards. He crouched, muscles coiling beneath his pelt, ready to launch himself across the room and finish what he had started in the mountains. He was going to rip Michael’s throat out.And then he stopped.He froze mid-snarl, his ears twitching forward. He realized what Michael, in his terror, alr

  • THE ALPHA’S UNWANTED MATE    CHAPTER 47

    JAYNAYAHThe sounds of war were different when you were waiting for them.For days, since the dining hall—since I had stood up, bled on their floor, and refused to whimper—I had been existing in a strange, cold liminal space. Michael hadn’t thrown me back in the cell. He’d locked me in one of the guest rooms on the second floor, a gilded cage reeking of stale fear from previous occupants.He thought he had contained me. He thought the display of power in the dining hall was a fluke, a desperate spasm of a dying animal.He was wrong. It was an awakening.I sat on the edge of the bed, my hands clasped loosely in my lap. The room was dark, but I didn't need light. Inside my head, it was blindingly bright.The voices. The chorus of the damned, the lineage of omegas and witches Michael and his kind had used, abused, and discarded. For so long, they had been a cacophony of shrieking madness that threatened to drown me. They had been the sound of my own impending insanity.But tonight? Tonig

  • THE ALPHA’S UNWANTED MATE    CHAPTER 46

    MACEThe forest blurred into a tunnel of shadow and whipping branches, a gauntlet I tore through with reckless abandon. My human lungs burned like bellows pumping fire, the residual poison in my blood protesting every explosive stride, but I fed the pain to my wolf. Fenris devoured it, converting agony into a raw, predatory fuel that pushed my body beyond its breaking point.Beside me, Cassandra was a streak of grim determination, her magic flickering in violet trails around her boots, artificially enhancing her speed to match my partial shift. We didn't speak. The air between us was heavy with the unspoken weight of what we had left behind in that cabin—the husk of my mother, finally freed, finally gone. The guilt was a maggot eating at the back of my mind, but I couldn't nurture it now. If I stopped to grieve, Michael won.The scent of the Blood Moon compound hit me long before we saw the perimeter fence—a cloying stench of too many wolves packed too closely together, undercut by th

  • THE ALPHA’S UNWANTED MATE    CHAPTER 46

    MACEThe door of the cabin clicked shut behind us, a final, wooden period at the end of my mother’s tragic sentence.Outside, the night air was bitingly cold, a stark contrast to the suffocating warmth and death inside. I inhaled sharply, the scent of damp pine and decaying leaves filling my lungs, trying to scrub away the smell of ozone and burned magic that clung to the back of my throat.I had left her there. My mother. A victim of Michael’s parasitic ambition, finally at rest, but abandoned in a dusty shack in enemy territory. The guilt was a physical weight, heavy as a stone tombstone chained around my neck. I hadn’t saved her. I had only ended her suffering."He knows," Cassandra’s voice was brittle, like dry kindling. She stood beside me in the shadows of the towering pines, her face illuminated only by the pale moonlight filtering through the canopy. She looked drained, her usual vibrant energy sapped gray. "The backlash... it was immense, Mace. Michael felt that severing. It

    JANAYAH Samantha’s scream ripped through the trees—sharp, shaking, terrified.I wanted to react.I wanted to lift my head, tell her I was fine… or at least alive.But I couldn’t move.Not a finger.Not a breath beyond shallow, shaky ones.Then the world erupted.Footsteps thundered toward us—multi

    JANAYAH A sharp, piercing cry tore through the air—And I jolted awake, breath ripping from my lungs, my heart racing so violently it hurt.Morning light filtered softly through the tall window, pale and quiet, as if the world itself was holding its breath. I sucked in another shaky inhale and rea
