“Are you sure we’re going the right way?” I asked, pushing past thick underbrush as we wove through the dense forest. The scent of damp earth clung to my nostrils, mingling with the crisp evening air.

“If there’s one thing you can trust me on, it’s my nose,” Ryker answered without his usual trace of sarcasm. His massive Lycan form prowled ahead, his muscles shifting beneath his ash-colored fur.

His brows were furrowed in concentration, and his claws dug into the ground as he maneuvered over roots and fallen logs.

It was rare to see him this focused, his usual cockiness was long gone. But that’s why he was my Beta. When shit hits the fan, Ryker would never hesitate to stand by my side as we went through whatever fresh hell awaited us.

I could always count on him to drag me out, even if it meant running through a goddamn forest, chasing a scent that might not even lead anywhere.

His nose had picked up the trace of the witch from the same stall where that divine seer had told

  • The Alpha's Fated Desire   CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE

    {Dominic}“I’m sorry to disturb the council, Alpha,” the young servant said, shifting awkwardly at the door of the Elder’s chamber. “What is it?” I asked, sharper than I intended.“It’s your mother, Alpha. She collapsed and was rushed to the hospital. Lady Odessa is with her.”For a second, I stopped breathing. I wasn’t sure what I felt; despite everything, despite her betrayal and her alliance with Corvin, she was still my mother.“I must leave now,” I turned, ready to walk out.“We are not finished with this meeting,” Corvin barked from his seat, his voice was as arrogant as ever.I stopped, just shy of the door. “Are you out of your mind? That’s your sister.” I fought to stop myself from yelling. “Have you no love in your heart?”Corvin didn’t flinch. “Everything I do, I do for the good of this pack. That is what a true leader does.”I let out a bitter scoff and turned toward him. “Then may the Moon Goddess bless this pack, because if you're the model of what a true leader is mean

    {Lyra}Panic surged through me as the sterile scent of disinfectant clawed up my nose, only adding to the nausea that settled in my stomach. My heart shook in my chest like it wanted out, and my limbs felt like water. I tried to sit up, but the moment I soved, the nurse’s sharp gaze caught me. “Stay still, sweetheart," she said, her voice like sugar-coated poison. “I’ll be right back.”Before I could move again, thick leather restraints snapped around my wrists and ankles as the nurse restricted me to the bed. I wriggled uselessly, and my wolf felt sluggish and angry, but still too weak to do anything. The sedatives they’d pumped into me earlier still kept her at bay, and all I could do was stare at the door as it closed behind the nurse.“I have to get out of here,” I whispered to no one in particular. My voice was hoarse, and my eyes darted around the room for a way out. The nurse definitely knew who I was; my face had been splashed across every single news channel as the wife of

    {Dominic}It had been a pretty long while since I stepped through the polished glass doors of NovaCore. The familiar scent of cedarwood polish, cold steel, and faint traces of coffee welcomed me as I walked in.The moment my boots hit the marble floors, heads had already begun to turn. It was times like these that I honestly didn’t need to announce myself; my presence kind of did that on its own. Every wolf in that lobby straightened their spine, and their eyes widened like they’d seen a ghost. I caught the words “Alpha” and “Founder” more times than I could count as I made my way to the elevators.Before I even made it, a young woman—Cynthia, if I remembered correctly—scrambled up from behind the receptionist desk, and quickly approached me.“Alpha, sir, welcome back. CEO Ryker is in his office. I’ll just—” she reached for the desk phone to inform him of my arrival.“No need,” I said flatly, brushing past her.She froze mid-dial as I stalked past the glossy walls of the executive wi

  • The Alpha's Fated Desire   CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT

    {Dominic}Mace’s screams had stopped being human a long time ago. The sound of her voice ripped through Allen’s tower like she was dying, and her body kept jerking so hard that it rattled the silver chains clamped around her wrists and ankles. The corruption had almost taken her, that much was easy to tell. My eyes followed the black veins that moved from the gash across her stomach, reaching all the way to her collarbone, to her arms, and even her jaw. Half her face looked like it was covered in a spiderweb of dark veins.She didn’t even smell like herself anymore; the scent of her wolf had been buried beneath the smell of blood and decay. Mace was strong, I could still sense the fight inside of her, but she was fading away right before my eyes.I tore my gaze away from her and turned to Allen, who stood beside his bubbling cauldron with his sleeves rolled up, and eyes completely focused on what he was doing.“Are you sure this will work?” I asked.Allen didn’t so much as spare me a

    {Lyra}The iron door groaned open, and the stench of rot and mildew gave way to fresher air, mixed faintly with pine and dust. My eyes squinted against the sudden shift in light as Varen dragged me up the narrow staircase.My knees buckled the moment we reached the top step, but I didn’t dare fall. I stumbled forward, feeling the unexpected warmth of hardwood beneath my feet. For a moment, my brain refused to process what I was seeing. The chipped hallway mirror, the floral wallpaper faded by time, the scuff mark on the left panel of the stair rail… I knew this place.My throat closed. “This is… my house.”Varen didn’t look at me as he kept walking. “Surprised?” his tone dripped with mockery. I turned in a slow circle, taking everything in. To think there was a freaking cellar under the very safehouse I and Isaac had been living in all that time.“How long has it been there?” I whispered softly.“Does it matter?” he said, stopping in his tracks and turning to look at me. “You’re out

  • The Alpha's Fated Desire   CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX

    {Lyra}My bare legs ached from the cold, rough concrete. My wrists were free, but what did that even matter when my legs were bolted to the wall like some wild dog. I shifted slightly, dragging the chains with me, clinking like mocking bells. The cellar stank of mildew, dried blood, and damp rot. Somewhere above, water dripped steadily, echoing down the stairwell like a ticking clock, slowly driving me mad.I pulled at the shackles again with a sigh. Varen wasn’t stupid; he knew the moment I tried to break free and run, he’d catch me before I even made it past the first step. So he gave me the illusion of freedom, just enough to remind me I had none.My ankles burned from the chafing iron, and the wall behind me was stained with scratches where I’d tried clawing my way out on the first night, or maybe it was the third. I’d stopped counting after the nausea set in from lack of food.I leaned my head back against the wall and closed my eyes. My wolf whimpered in the back of my mind, cu

    {Dominic}The creature collapsed with a sickening crunch, and its brittle limbs broke apart like scorched paper. I stood over it, with my chest heaving, and blood dripping from my claw. My breath still came in short gasps, and I could still taste the acrid magic that had spilled from Sorren’s body.There it was—the vial.It had rolled just a few inches from his fingers, faintly glowing with a sick green glow. I crouched slowly, even with trembling hand, and picked it up. The essence inside sloshed dangerously.“Hopefully, this is enough to save Mace,” I muttered and slipped it into the pouch at my hip, sealing the flap shut.Only then did I notice the taste of blood, and the pain hit me all at once.My legs buckled, and I slammed my palm into the stone wall to steady myself. The gash in my side throbbed with every single breath. My arm felt limp, and my shoulder was probably dislocated. My ribs ached like they’d caved in. And still, I forced one foot in front of the other.“Get back t

  • The Alpha's Fated Desire   CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR

    {Dominic}The passage narrowed the farther I went, until, being in my full wolf form, I had to lower my head and turn my shoulders slightly just to move forward. It finally became too narrow to remain in my full wolf form, so I shifted into my Lycan form.Each time I took a breath, the stench of rot and burned flesh fused into one putrid odor.The pressure around the tomb had changed as well. It felt strong and heavier. It seemed the magic had condensed into the air and became so thick I could practically taste it on my tongue.I finally reached an opening, and the tunnel gave way to a wide, but hollow cavern where the only source of light was the veins of sickly green light running through the stone walls. There were bones littered on the ground, broken and scattered.From the looks of the skulls, femurs, and ribs snapped in half and somewhat gnawed on, I could only imagine the horrors that went on there.A low scrape echoed through the chamber, and I lifted my head to see a figure c

  • The Alpha's Fated Desire   CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE

    {Dominic}Ryker didn’t bother speaking to me as we walked. My legs barely worked, but somehow I kept moving. The forest disappeared behind us as we left the Grove behind, and the moon seemed to follow us out.I kept looking over my shoulder, half-expecting the wind to shift and Evangeline to be standing there, barefoot in the moonlight, with that spark in her eyes and her usual smirk.But she wasn’t there.I wanted to believe that she wasn’t gone, that she was somehow still out there. But if that was true, then how was I supposed to find her? There was no scent, no trace, no trail to follow—nothing but complete and utter silence.And then there was Mace… “Moon goddess help me.” She was slipping deeper into the darkness that hadcorrupted her, and it was my job to find the source of that corruption. So how the fuck was I supposed to do both? How do you choose between saving a loyal Delta, and chasing a ghost?By the time we arrived at the Elder’s Villa, Corvin’s voice was the first th
