Hope's POV.

The room is dim, lit only by the soft glow of a single lamp next to the bed. The curtains are drawn to keep out the intruding daylight. I lie curled up on the bed, my hair still damp from the much-needed shower, my body wrapped in one of Malakar's shirts. His scent comforts me in a way that nothing else can. It calms me. Grounds me. The door opens quietly, then the sound of heavy footsteps before Malakar collapses next to me with a low, tired groan. I turn my head toward him, studying his face. There are dark circles under his eyes, and the ever-present tension in his strong jaw seems tighter than ever. He looks worn down to the bone.

"You okay?" I ask, brushing my fingers over the back of his head.

He doesn't answer immediately. Instead, he stares up at the ceiling, exhaling through his nose. "This... this isn't what pack life is supposed to be like." He says finally, his voice quiet, almost guilty. "It's not supposed to be all blood and death and constant fighting. We're

  • The Alpha's Human Mate   Chapter 50.

    Velara's POV.Many years ago."What?!" Luther's voice thundered through the quiet clearing like a shotgun. His eyes blazed with white-hot anger - something else as well, something I had never seen in him before - pain.I took a deep breath and steeled myself before repeating what I had just said. My hands were trembling slightly, heart pounding away in my chest. "I met someone else. Someone that I love very much. I want to be with him. I'm leaving. You. This pack. All of it." My voice trembled slightly as well.Luther began pacing the forest ground like a caged animal. His jaw was tight. A small vein pulsing at the base of his throat. "You've clearly lost your mind, Velara! That's the only thing that makes any sense.""No. I've just lost my heart."He stopped pacing and turned to me, a look of utter disgust and disappointment in his eyes. "Hah!" He scoffed. "That's nothing more than a fool's sentiment. A child's dream. I thought better of you, Velara. Of all people."I could feel the

  • The Alpha's Human Mate   Chapter 49.

    Malachai's POV.I storm through the chaos of the hunter's camp, my fists clenched and blood still crusted along the side of my face where Hope had cut me. Around me, hunters limp, groan, and shout orders at one another, trying to salvage what they can from the wreckage of our failed attack. Makeshift tents flap in the wind, stained with blood, and the metallic scent of injury hangs heavy in the air.But I'm not concerned with the wounded.I am furious.They ran. Cowards. We were right there—Lucian pinned, Malakar tangled beneath his own weight, and Hope within my grasp, choking on the last of her breath. I had won—and still, they had let it all slip away. My hand twitches, still remembering the feel of her throat beneath my fingers.“I had them!” I bellow, kicking a broken crate out of my path. “I had both Alphas. I had the girl! And you ran?”A few of the hunters glance my way but quickly look back down, tending to their wounds or disappearing deeper into camp.“We were outnumbered,”

    Malakar's POV.Hope steps quietly onto the porch behind me. I have my back turned to her, my shoulders are rigid, and my fists are clenched at my sides. The tension radiating from me is almost palpable. She approaches slowly, reaching out to touch my arm."Malakar..." She says softly.I flinch at the sound of her voice, then turn, eyes flashing - not in anger at her, but at everything else."I can't, Hope. Not right now. I need... I need to get away from her before I say something I can't take back."Hope's eyes darken as she follows my gaze back to the infirmary where my father and Velara are still talking. About her secrets, no doubt. Her expression remains unreadable. She nods her understanding."Okay." She whispers. "I'll be here when you're ready."Before either of us can say more, Talon, Dorian, and Morgana step outside to join us. They look worn, their clothing torn, streaked with blood. The battle has aged them all."We need to bring them home." I say in a low but firm voice.

  • The Alpha's Human Mate   Chapter 46.

    Velara's POV.Many years ago.The moon hung low in the sky that night, its silver light slicing through the trees like a blade, casting shifting shadows along the forest floor. My paws pounded the earth as I tore through the woods in my wolf form, my breathing coming fast and wild. Leaves whipped at my flanks. Twigs snapped beneath my weight. My heart thundered in my chest - but not from my run.From rage. From defiance. From pain.Another fight with my father. Another reminder of my duty to the pack. Another speech about strength and submission and bloodlines. Another order to learn my place beside the male I was bound to - the future alpha of our pack. A dominant wolf with a steel jaw and even colder heart. A man who saw me not as a partner, but as a possession.I snarled and pushed myself faster, trying to outrun the helplessness clawing at my ribs. I wasn't meant for this. For leashes disguised as tradition. For a life spent kneeling beside a man who would never respect me. I want

  • The Alpha's Human Mate   Chapter 45.

    Hope's POV.Velara stares at Malakar, her lips part as if to say something - but nothing comes out. Her face is composed, but her eyes betray her. A flicker of unease. A shadow of something deeper. Malakar steps closer, his eyes narrowing. "Don't lie to me, mother."She lifts her chin slightly. "I'm not lying. I was... surprised, that's all. Shocked to see him like that.""Surprised?" Malakar echoes, the word sharp and bitter. "You've seen worse. Dealt with worse. But the second Lucian gets dragged in, half-dead, you're suddenly offering to help? That's not just shock. That's something else."Velara folds her arms across her chest in a defensive motion. "I did what anyone would have done.""No." Malakar says, stepping even closer. "You didn't. You did what no one expected you to do." She opens her mouth to argue, but Malakar cuts her off. "You couldn't even look at him at first." He says, voice low. "Like you were seeing a ghost. Like it hurt. So tell me the truth - what is it about L
