Hades,

The air reeked of blood. Thick, metallic, suffocating. It clung to the damp stone walls, soaked into the dirt-covered floor, and dripped sluggishly from the chains overhead. The dim torches flickered, their weak flames barely cutting through the oppressive darkness that hung in the underground chamber like a death shroud.

The prisoner groaned beneath me, his back flayed open from the whip in my grip. Red stained my hands, my arms, even the edges of my boots where his blood had splattered. The sight should have satisfied me. It usually did.

But not tonight.

Tonight, my mind was elsewhere.

On her.

Elysia.

A mistake.

She had called it a mistake.

The whip cracked through the silence once more, splitting through torn flesh. The man barely had the strength to scream, his body jerking weakly against his restraints. My lip curled in frustration.

She thought herself so untouchable, so resolute. As if she hadn’t trembled in my grasp, as if her body hadn’t sung

  • THE GAMMA'S DAUGHTER    Alpha Succession

    Elysia,The quiet of my room enveloped me as I sat on the edge of the bed, the book open in my hands. The scent of ink and old pages swirled in the air, a comforting presence that calmed my restless mind. Grandma Aurora’s words from the past lingered in my thoughts as I turned the pages slowly.Everyone is extraordinary in their own world. They create their own universe, define their own truths, and find their paths to fulfillment, happiness, and peace. Her words had always been a guiding light, reminding me that not all things were as they seemed. Even within the darkness of the Wraithborn family, there was a world where we each held our purpose. I couldn’t deny that their world, though complex and shadowed, was driven by something deeper—something I hadn’t yet fully understood.A sharp knock on my door pulled me from my thoughts. Before I could respond, the door swung open, and Halia entered, her expression knowing."Still reading?" she asked, her tone laced with amusement as she c

  • THE GAMMA'S DAUGHTER    Congratulations, Alpha

    Hades,The half-hour before the ceremony was filled with an uncomfortable tension, one I could never quite shake. Halia’s voice had cut through the stillness of my thoughts, her tone light but filled with mischief. "I have a surprise for you, Hades."From childhood, “surprise” was always a loaded word when it came from her. It meant frogs in my lunchbox, lizards hidden in my birthday cake, or insects shoved into my meals just to see my reaction. I could already feel my irritation building, preparing myself for whatever ridiculous thing she had planned this time. I was used to her pranks, but that didn’t make them any less annoying. I wanted to have a perfect celebration without any interruption. It was a huge moment and I needed to do the best. Yet, when she arrived, it wasn’t what I expected.It was her.Elysia Celeriac.The ceremony began, but I barely heard the words. My eyes locked on her once more. She was sitting in the corner of the second floor, a good distance away, but her

    Persephone Winterthorn, The after party of the Alpha succession was held in the Great Hall. Everyone was there, the entire pack, enjoying the BBQ, wine and local cuisines. The hall was alive with the hum of voices, but all I could hear was the thudding of my own heartbeat. Every glance, every smile, felt like a jagged knife digging deeper. There they were—Hades and that damn outsider, Elysia. The way he looked at her, the way he couldn't seem to tear his eyes away from her. It sent a cold fury through me, curling in my stomach like a vicious snake. I had known from the moment I saw her that she would be a problem. Elysia Celeriac. The commander of the Moonlit Silver Wolf Pack. A woman who didn’t belong here, whose presence tainted everything. She wasn’t from a noble family, she wasn’t someone worthy of Hades’s attention, yet he was drawn to her in a way I couldn't comprehend. She stood there, as though she belonged. As though she were one of us. And Hades, the idiot, watched he

    I watched them—the two bastards—stalking her. Elysia. She was tipsy, unsteady on her feet, and blissfully unaware of the danger lurking in the shadows. Halia was caught up in conversation with her friends, oblivious to what was about to unfold. Elysia, as drunk as she was, stood up and staggered toward the bathroom, a small, erratic movement that I could only watch. “Where are you going?” Halia’s voice rang out, a touch of concern, but Elysia merely waved her off. My gaze followed her, fixed on the way she walked, oblivious to everything around her. I caught sight of the men then, two of them, trailing behind her like vultures. A smile curved on my lips, cruel and sweet. The taste of wine was smoother now, laced with the anticipation of what was to come. I felt his presence—Hades—his eyes still locked on the room, but I could tell his mind wasn’t here. It was elsewhere, searching for *her*. That bitch. Elysia. I shifted closer to him, positioning myself like a shadow. He was standi

  • THE GAMMA'S DAUGHTER    Help Me

    Hades,The celebration was in full swing, laughter and music echoing in the air. I stood among the crowd, a glass of wine in hand, my thoughts anything but on the festivities around me. Persephone, with her ever-present thirst for power, had been trying to get my attention all evening, her eyes following my every move like a predator circling its prey. She had no idea I could see through her. But that didn’t stop her from playing the game. I noticed the moment she slipped the request to the bartender. The aphrodisiac she asked him to add to my wine—how predictable. I wasn’t fooled for a second. The moment Carlos had sensed her plan through the mindlink, he’d alerted me, his voice sharp and urgent. “She’s trying to drug you, Hades.”I played it cool, raising my glass to my lips, swirling the wine as I considered my next move. Persephone didn’t know I knew. She was oblivious to the fact that I was fully aware of her manipulation. I let her think she was in control. I let her believe sh

    The moment Elysia’s body pressed against mine, something inside me snapped—a shift that I didn’t expect, but couldn’t deny. Her hands, trembling with a mix of urgency and confusion, fumbled with the buttons of my shirt, as though the fabric was the only thing separating us. I should have stopped her, should have put distance between us and reminded myself that this was a dangerous game. It was going to be another hate game between us. But in that instant, all I could feel was the overwhelming heat of her skin against mine, the way she seemed to fit into me as if she had always belonged there.Her breath was shallow, her chest rising and falling in quick succession as she fought the effects of the drugs those bastards had given her. I could feel her body trembling—her strength and her vulnerability intertwined. She was a warrior, a fighter, but right now, in my arms, she was nothing more than a woman on the edge. The sharp scent of her, heady and wild, only fueled the hunger that I

    Elysia,The first sensation that I was aware of when my eyes fluttered open was the sharp pounding of my head, like a thousand hammers were relentlessly striking my skull. My stomach twisted uneasily, and the very air around me felt thick and heavy. I could feel the weight of someone else’s presence beside me, the warmth of another body—his body.Hades.My breath caught in my throat, my heart racing as panic surged through me. My skin felt sticky, coated in a sheen of sweat, and the heat radiating from the body next to me seemed to press down on me like a suffocating force. What happened?The memories came back to me in fragmented flashes—hazy images of the night, the sound of laughter, the taste of the wine, and then... a sharp, searing pain in the back of my neck. The world had tilted, everything spinning out of control as the edges of my consciousness blurred. I had been drugged. I tried to push myself up, my body aching, my legs unsteady. But the weight beside me only pulled me

    Hades,The first thing I noticed when I woke was the silence.A thick, heavy silence that filled the room like a suffocating fog. My eyes snapped open, instinctively searching the room. There was a lingering warmth in the air, the soft scent of her still clinging to the sheets, but she was—gone.Elysia.My heart clenched. Panic gripped me immediately. The sheets beside me were rumpled, as if she had tossed and turned, but there was no trace of her. No sign. I shot up from the bed, the sense of unease growing with every passing second. The light filtering in through the window told me it was still early morning, but everything felt wrong. My hands were already moving, searching for any sign of her. Her scent was faint, almost indistinguishable, swallowed by the air. I stood up, fists clenched, and immediately reached for my clothes, my mind racing. She couldn’t have just disappeared. I wouldn’t let her. I’d been in her presence just moments ago, and now... nothing. Where the hell is

  • THE GAMMA'S DAUGHTER    Secret Plans

    Carolina, I moved through the halls of the compound, my heart heavy with bitterness and a quiet fury that had been building for months. Jonathan. His name was enough to make my blood boil. He had used me, discarded me, and now he barely even spared me a glance. I wasn’t even worth the title of Luna, not that I had wanted it anymore. But that didn’t stop the anger that still simmered beneath the surface. He had rejected me, abandoned me, for power. For the same ambition that had consumed him all these years. Tonight had been different, though. Jonathan had been drunk, lost in his own arrogance, and I had used that to my advantage. My body had been my weapon, and I had used it to hurt him. It had been satisfying in a way, but it wasn’t enough. It never was. I had only ever wanted one thing: revenge. But even that felt hollow now. As I walked, my mind wasn’t focused on Jonathan anymore. I was thinking about what I’d heard earlier—a conversation that had caught my attention. It had

  • THE GAMMA'S DAUGHTER    Revenge of Carolina

    Carolina, The lights of the grand manor flickered like a dying flame as I stepped through the threshold, uninvited, unseen for years, but never forgotten. My heels echoed against the marble floors, the sharp rhythm slicing through the silence like a blade. I knew where he would be—where he always ended up when the world became too much for him. Drowning himself in whiskey, in bodies, in power. And tonight, I would be the ocean that pulled him under. Jonathan Hornet. Who tossed me aside once he met Elysia. He promised me that he would make me his Luna. He used me , my family and friends to get favor from them. But once I was no more useful, he forgot my existence. He used to say my name like it was a prayer. Now, it would taste like poison on his lips. I stood at the door of his private chambe, the guards already dismissed or unconscious with liquor and bribes. They had grown careless, just like him. Inside, I could hear muffled laughter, moans, the sound of ice clinking in a gl

    Jonathan, The memory of her voice echoed in my skull like a mocking bell. " I am already marked, can't Alpha Jonathan sense it? Or you don't have that ability!" Those words—those sharp, venom-laced words—had silenced the entire ballroom. Every eye turned toward me, not with admiration, not with fear, but with barely concealed pity. As if I were a dethroned monarch, stripped and paraded before the wolves I once commanded. She made a fool of me. She knew that I wasn't blessed. She knew that I was only an Alpha in name and she mocked me in front of everyone. That bitch... She was supposed to kneel down, spread her legs and carry my heir. She was supposed to be my perfect slave. But instead, she threw herself onto that bastard. How dare she!!! I clenched my jaw as I stared at the broken glass on the floor. I had crushed it in my hand without realizing, shards still embedded in my palm. Blood trickled between my fingers, but the pain was nothing compared to the searing rage in m

    The sky had turned a soft gray, painted with streaks of peach as the sun began its descent behind the lake. The gentle rustling of wind through the trees whispered against the glass walls of the penthouse, and the koi pond shimmered with scattered reflections of the dying light. Hades lay beside me, his arm slung protectively across my waist, the remnants of our shared warmth still lingering on our skin. My fingers trailed along his collarbone, tracing the faint lines of old battles that lived quietly on his body. He looked peaceful—more peaceful than I had seen him in a long time. His dark lashes rested against his cheeks, his expression soft in sleep, like a child who had found momentary safety. But I knew what lay ahead. I had to return to my pack, to my father, and to the mess Jonathan had created in my absence. And I had to do it without Hades.I couldn't tell him that I was ordered to be executed... If he knew that this had been happening behind his back, he would kill Jonat

    " I want to have a baby after everything settles down!" I whispered in his arms. The soft rustle of leaves outside the open window carried the scent of night-blooming jasmine, folding into the air between us like an unspoken promise. The moonlight filtered through sheer curtains, casting gentle shadows over Hades’s features. He looked so peaceful, so human, so mine in that moment that my heart clenched in a way I hadn’t expected. His hand caressed my waist, firm and warm, anchoring me to the present. “Do you mean it?” he asked after a long moment, voice quiet, hesitant, almost boyish in its vulnerability. “About the baby?” I nodded without hesitation, brushing a stray strand of hair from his forehead. “I do. With every piece of me. I have forgotten about those nonexistent past. But now I am here with you, with Ruby and my father, I want to be happy and have my own family. A proper family!” He exhaled slowly and pulled me closer, pressing my hand to his chest where I could feel

  • THE GAMMA'S DAUGHTER    Making up

    I hadn't told Hades about the verdict that Jonathan announced. I knew the man lacked spine, but behind him, it was Luna Astoria who was clearly pulling the strings. Her influence had grown insidiously, and now it was starting to threaten everything I had built—everything I had bled for. But as much as I wanted to face that battle, today wasn’t about the pack or the politics.Today was about the strain in my relationship with Hades. That silent tension that hummed in the air whenever our eyes met but neither of us spoke the words buried beneath the surface. He didn’t want to talk about the past. And I didn’t want to force it out of him. But I also couldn’t let this chasm grow wider. We had already lost too much in our previous life. I wouldn’t let silence steal what we still had left.After lunch with his parents—an unexpectedly warm and light-hearted affair—I excused myself and made my way toward the penthouse he had built near the lakeside. Hades had once called it his place of solit

  • THE GAMMA'S DAUGHTER    Acknowledgement

    The Wraithborn Pack had not changed much over, though I saw it now with different eyes. Its stone walls still stood tall, carved with ancient symbols of power and legacy, but the air was different. It wasn’t suffocating as it once had been—not bitter, nor judging. It had been still cheerful and peaceful. Despite having some uneasy feeling, related to that night, I started feeling close to the Pack. Maybe I was marked by the Alpha of the Pack. The sense of longing wasn't frail. I walked along the marble path, hands clasped behind my back. The garden was awake with life. Roses bloomed red like secrets kept too long, and silver ivy curled against the wrought iron arches. I hadn't talked to Hades about the conflict between us. He left soon after we spent some time together. He was really busy with handling everything that he left unfinished when we went to the human world. My Man is really hardworking. "Elysia."The voice was familiar, but it lacked the pride I once associated with h

  • THE GAMMA'S DAUGHTER    Perverted thoughts

    Elysia,In my previous life perceptive, Hades and I were sworn enemies who were ready to kill. However, after learning the truth about his nature, it was clear that my Blood sword wasn't enough to kill him. And even if he killed me out of spite, it was completely understandable and acceptable. He wasn't nothing to me in my previous life. It was me who killed him, and I had no rights to hold such a grudge.But I felt so heartbroken after remembering the child I raised inside me. I knew that he had his reasons, but I started grieving for the baby that would never exist in this life. The ache was quiet, nestled somewhere deep, but it was persistent—like the residue of a love song that never finished."Elysia!"Dad's voice brought me back to the house. Hades left soon after I fell asleep... Or I pretended to fall asleep last night. He apologized precisely, thinking I was sleeping. But I couldn't, because my emotions were rollercoasters—too steep, too fast. I was torn between anger, confus

  • THE GAMMA'S DAUGHTER    Complicated emotions

    The silence weighed heavy in the room. My chest rose and fell with shallow breaths as I knelt beside the bed, head lowered, fists clenched. The storm inside my head refused to calm. I had betrayed her. No matter the reasoning, the truth could never be buried. The blade had come from me. From Carlos. From the ones who had sworn to protect her.And she didn’t even know. She didn't even get the chance to see who stabbed her from behind.Our target was to destroy her heart. Serene said once her heart would be corrupted, we wouldn't be able to stop her. So we did what we were supposed to do.Or so I thought.The guilt hollowed me from the inside. It wrapped around my ribs like a serpent, squeezing, choking, taunting me with her soft breaths that lingered behind me.She was alive. She was breathing. But she wouldn’t be when the truth surfaced. And yet I couldn’t tear myself away.I stayed there, frozen, as each second dragged like an eternity. My vision blurred. The pain of it—what we did,
