Alpha Lycan Mate — A Paranormal Romance by Morgan King She thought she was just a girl trying to survive. He knew she was the storm destined to destroy or save them all. Seventeen-year-old Aria lives a quiet life with her grandmother, unaware of the bloodline burning beneath her skin. On the verge of adulthood, she applies for a weekend job at a sleek, glass-walled newspaper tower—owned by the dangerously alluring billionaire widower, Damon Wolfe. Damon never works Saturdays. Never hires strangers. But the moment he smells her… everything changes. As Aria approaches her 18th birthday, her body begins to betray her—visions, heat, instincts she can’t control. She starts hearing a voice that isn’t hers… but feels like it always has been. When secrets unravel and shadows from a forgotten war come hunting, Aria must confront what she truly is: not just a wolf… but an Alpha born of fire, moonlight, and war. And Damon? He’s not just her employer. He might be the only one strong enough to protect her—or the one destined to break her. But some enemies don’t bleed. And some bonds… burn.

My skin still shimmered faintly, the silver fire slowly retreating beneath the surface of my body. It no longer felt foreign. It felt right. Like my soul had finally settled back into place.And Damon was there.Kneeling in front of me covering me with my throw blanket. Staring at me like I was a miracle he didn’t think he deserved.I could still feel Anya deep inside me—quiet now, resting—but her warmth lingered like a second heartbeat.“Hey,” I whispered, reaching for him.He caught my hand instantly and pressed it to his lips. “You came back to me.”I nodded. “I promised I would.”There was silence between us for a moment. Not heavy. Not uncertain. Just full.I took a shaky breath. “What are you most afraid of?”He looked at me for a long time, then brushed a strand of hair behind my ear. “She told me the truth. About who I am. Who you are. What’s coming.”
She stood in front of me, wrapped in nothing but moonlight and power.And then—she dropped the blanket.No hesitation. No shame.Her body ignited.Not metaphorically.Silver flames licked across her skin like silk and starlight. They didn’t burn—they illuminated. Her form shimmered, blurred, and then solidified again.But it wasn’t Aria anymore.It was an angelic shifting. For the first time in my existence, I witnessed a human shift into a wolf and now I’m watching her elegantly swoop into a flame. Like she’s become a silver fire flame. She turns to see me and I hold back my gasp. If this is a lot for me? This is a lot for Aria too. The last thing I want to do is let her see my anxiety fuel to life. The woman who stood before me looked like her, but older. Sharper. Her eyes burned like celestial embers, and her voice, when it came, felt like the wind over mountaintops.“Hello, Damon.” Her voice curled through the air like smoke and memory.I swallowed. “You’re… Anya.”She nodded o
I’ve lived through wars.I’ve held dying brothers in my arms.I’ve killed with my hands and bled in battle.But nothing prepared me for the moment I let Phoenix go.It was like tearing open a dam that had been reinforced for centuries. The second Aria’s shift began—her body glowing, her wolf emerging in a blaze of silver-white fire—I couldn’t hold him anymore.Phoenix exploded from me, a flash of shadow and power, and for the first time in years, I felt vulnerable.Not because I was weakened.But because she was here.And she was mine.⸻I watched from inside Phoenix’s mind as Angel rose.Gods, she was beautiful. Pure crystal white, radiant and agile, every movement poetry. She moved like she knew him. Like she’d been waiting for him just as long.When she circled Phoenix and left her mark—soft, sacred—I felt the tremor all the way down to my soul.And Phoenix…He was undone.For nearly an hour, we ran. We howled. We lived. And for the first time in my long, brutal life, I knew peace.
I stepped back from Damon, breathless and buzzing, as the fire of his kiss slowly settled into a sweet ache behind my ribs.The world felt new—clearer, louder, softer all at once.But then I remembered…“Gran?”I turned, spinning slowly.And there she was.Sitting just a few feet away near the ring of stones, her legs tucked under her, hands resting in her lap.Her eyes were warm, but… tired. Not the kind of tired from a long day—but from years. Decades. Her face was softer than I’d ever seen it. Her body looked… smaller somehow.Had that all changed since dinner?How could so much shift in just one night?I crossed the space between us quickly and dropped to my knees in front of her, wrapping my arms around her without hesitation.Her breath caught.And then something—something—burst from my chest.A warm ripple of golden energy spread from my heart through my arms, into her.She gasped.“Oh, Aria…”I pulled back, startled. “Did I hurt you?”She blinked, then laughed—a real, strong,
The world slipped away.First, the air. Then sound. Then gravity.I wasn’t falling. I wasn’t flying. I was just… gone.Everything outside my body blurred into white fire and silence. But inside—inside—something opened.A voice whispered in the dark.Come, Aria. We’re waiting.I tried to speak, but I had no voice. No form. Just thought. Light.Then, the warmth came. And with it… a growl.You feel me now.It was her. The wolf inside me.Powerful. Crystal-white. Eyes like lightning and blood. Soft and beautiful Silver eyes.“My name is Angel, and I’m your wolf, Aira.”Then another voice—soft, ancient, bright as a flame:Auburn Red hair, long waves and almost an exact image of me…“And me. The fire. The blood. The first breath. I have lived inside your lineage since the beginning. You are the last flame of the first Moonblood. I am yourmaiden, Anya. Now, we are all one.”The Fire Maiden.They stood before me—two parts of myself. The wolf, wild and fierce. The fire, divine and eternal.I
The shift back came fast.The air rippled, and in the next breath, I was on two feet again—bare skin and lungs full of crisp Hollow air.Aria spun around instantly, cheeks flaming. “Oh my—uh—right, okay—nope!”I couldn’t help the laugh that slipped through. “You’ve already seen me shirtless.”She kept a hand over her eyes, the other reaching blindly behind her toward the pile of picnic things. “Shirtless and… this are not the same thing, Damon.”“Noted.”She finally found the blanket and tossed it over her shoulder without looking. It landed against my chest.“Thanks,” I said, wrapping it around my hips with amusement.She peeked through her fingers—and her eyes widened. “Wow.”“Wow?” I asked, smug now.She coughed. “I mean… biologically accurate, yes. Just… wow.”I grinned and stepped closer. “You don’t ever have to apologize for looking at me like that.”Her blush deepened. “I’m sorry if I’ve taken so much of your time this week. I know you have a pack to run, business to—”I stoppe
