The Alpha Queen and her Human Mate Marked
Chapter 30 — MarkedThe whisper clung to her even after they’d cleared the ridge. It wasn’t loud, it didn’t need to be. It threaded into her mind like a splinter under the skin, impossible to ignore.Raven…She didn’t flinch, didn’t let her pack see it had gotten under her skin. But her wolf paced restlessly in her chest, hackles raised.Back at the packhouse, Luca had the warriors double the perimeter guard. The men were tense, eyes flicking toward the trees as though expecting the forest itself to move.Ragnar stayed at the edge of the clearing, leaning against the shadow of an old pine, his expression unreadable. She wanted to demand answers, but not here. Not where ears could listen.“Luca, keep them sharp,” she ordered. “No one goes alone, not even for water.”“Yes, Alpha.”When they finally retreated into the war room, she rounded on Ragnar. “What did it do to me?”His gaze lifted slowly to meet hers. “It didn’t do anything yet.”“Yet?” she snapped.“You crossed its boundary
The Alpha Queen and her Human Mate The Hollow
Chapter 29 — The HollowThe forest beyond the western ridge was quieter than Raven expected. No wind. No night birds. Even the crunch of their boots on the frozen earth sounded swallowed, dampened by something in the air.Luca led the pack warriors in a loose V formation, their eyes scanning the shadows. Ragnar moved beside Raven, his posture relaxed, but his hand never strayed far from the knife at his hip.“This place feels wrong,” Luca muttered.“It is,” Ragnar said simply.They passed the old stone marker that split their territory from the deep woods. The trees here were older, their twisted trunks wide enough to swallow a cabin whole. Faint lines of pale moss ran up their bark like veins.Raven’s wolf was alert, every sense stretched taut. We are being watched.“How far?” she asked Ragnar quietly.He glanced up at the sky, where moonlight barely filtered through the dense canopy. “Closer than it feels.”Minutes later, the path dipped into a shallow ravine, and she saw it.The
The Alpha Queen and her Human Mate Bloodlines and Burdens
Chapter 28 — Bloodlines and BurdensThe meeting hall was silent except for the faint creak of the old timbers above.Outside, the storm had grown into a restless wind that rattled the shutters, as if even the forest was listening.Raven leaned forward in her chair at the head of the table, her hands steepled. Ragnar stood a few paces away, the firelight cutting sharp lines across his face.“You’ve been holding back,” she said. It wasn’t a question.He didn’t deny it. “You weren’t ready to hear the rest.”Her wolf bristled. “If they’re hunting me, I was already ready.”For a long moment, Ragnar didn’t move. Then he took a breath and stepped closer. “The Blood Oath doesn’t hunt at random. Every strike, every death… it’s ritual. They’re bound by vows older than any council. Bloodlines are their currency, and they collect debts written in the marrow of a family tree.”She felt a flicker of unease. “You’re saying this is about my family.”“I’m saying they’ve hunted your line before.” Hi
The Alpha Queen and her Human Mate The First Strike
.Chapter 27 — The First StrikeThe sound came again, closer this time, a warping howl threaded with a wet, gurgling rasp, like something breathing through torn lungs.Raven froze mid-step. Every warrior instinct she had sharpened at once. The forest was silent except for the wind pushing through the black pines, but she knew that quiet wasn’t natural.Ragnar shifted his weight, his voice barely a whisper. “That’s not one of the scavenger-beasts. That’s it calling to the rest.”Her gaze cut through the trees. “How many?”“If it’s a full hunt pack,” he murmured, “six beasts… maybe more.”Her wolf surged to the surface, muscles coiling for the fight. “Then we end them here.”“Raven....” Ragnar’s tone held warning, but it was too late. She’d already stepped forward, scenting the wind.The stench hit her first—rot, metal, and something oily that clung to the back of her throat. Her vision shifted, the world sharpening into the crisp, predatory clarity of her wolf’s sight.From the darkn
The Alpha Queen and her Human Mate Marked by the Past
Chapter 26 — Marked by the PastRaven stared at the black pelt nailed to the tree, her claws curling in until they nearly pierced her palms.The coppery tang of blood clung to the air, thick and fresh, making her wolf strain at the edges of her control.Her warriors stood back, wary. They knew that stillness in her it meant something dangerous was coming.Bootsteps crunched behind her. Ragnar.She didn’t turn, but she felt his presence the moment he stopped a pace away. His scent shifted, gone was the steady calm she’d learned to read in him. In its place was something darker. Recognition.“You’ve seen this before,” she said without looking at him.Silence.Her gaze cut to him sharply. His eyes weren’t on he they were locked on the sigil carved into the pelt. Not with shock. Not with curiosity. With the bone deep hatred of someone staring at the face of an old enemy.“What do you know?” she demanded.His jaw flexed. “Enough to tell you this isn’t just a warning. It’s a declaration
The Alpha Queen and her Human Mate The Truth He Didn’t Tell
Chapter 25 — The Truth He Didn’t TellThe war room felt too small once everyone left. The scent of fear and tension lingered in the air, heavy as smoke, settling into the corners like it belonged there. Raven stood alone, palms pressed against the war table, claws biting into the wood. Her gaze lingered on the crimson pin she had driven into the map earlier marking the last known movement of the Blood Oath.Her wolf bristled under her skin, restless and pacing. Something about Ragnar’s reaction earlier wouldn’t let her go. The smallest flicker in his eyes when the Blood Oath was mentioned. Not confusion. Not curiosity. Recognition.“You’ve seen them before.”The words cut through the silence like a blade.Ragnar froze halfway to the door, his hand lingering on the handle. “…Who?”Her head lifted slowly, golden eyes narrowing. “The Blood Oath. Don’t lie to me. I saw it—the way your face changed when I spoke their name. You didn’t look surprised. You looked like someone remembering
