Malachai's POV.

The bar is dim, the air thick with cigarette smoke and the nauseating smell of cheap liquor and old sweat. A dying neon-light flickers miserably on the far wall, casting long, sad shadows across the faces of regulars. Somewhere in the background, a lady is singing about the wows of a broken heart. This is not the kind of place where people ask questions. It's the kind of place you come if you want to be left alone. When you want to forget about the world, just like the world has forgotten about you.

"I wish that I could forget." I mutter into my empty whiskey glass while absent-mindedly stroking the brim with my index finger. The barman must have heard me because he pauses his mundane task of wiping down the bar and scuttles over with a bottle of whiskey. He holds it over my empty glass, waiting for me to give him some sort of indication. I only raise my index finger slightly, and he pours me another shot before moving away again.

I wish that I could forget the way the

  • The Alpha's Human Mate   Chapter 71.

    Hope's POV.By the time I reach the last word, the tears are blinding.I sit frozen, the letter trembling in my hands, my chest tight, aching. I don’t know what to say. I don’t know how to feel. Anger, grief, shock — it’s all knotted together inside me like a storm.Without a word, I pass the letter to Malakar. He takes it, slowly, reverently. His eyes move over the page while mine fix on the amulet in my lap. It glints faintly in the soft light, as if aware it’s being seen again for the first time in years. Tears slip down my cheeks in quiet, steady streams.“I don’t know what to do with this,” I whisper. “I don’t know what it means for me. For us.”Malakar folds the letter gently and places it on the bed between us. His hand finds mine, warm and grounding.“You don’t have to decide tonight,” he says softly. “We’ll figure it out. Together.”And for the first time in a long time, I let myself lean into him — not as a warrior, not as a girl caught between bloodlines — just as Hope. Los

  • The Alpha's Human Mate   Chapter 70.

    Hope's POV.The forest blurs around us as Malakar and I make our way back to the den, the medical cooler in his hand swinging slightly with every step. I can hear our feet crunching over dry leaves, feel the cool bite of the night air on my skin, but everything else feels… muffled.The journey feels longer than it should. Each step heavier, slower - like the trees themselves are dragging their roots across our path, stalling us, holding us in this moment of silence that neither of us dares to break.Malakar walks just ahead, quiet as always, but I can feel the tension radiating from him. He’s not angry, exactly — not at me — but he’s on edge. We both are. There’s something unspoken between us, hanging in the air like fog, making it harder to breathe.I can’t stop thinking about Emory. How did she get that box? Why does she have that box? She said it belonged to my father — my father — and yet I never even mentioned his name to her. Not once. I barely knew him myself, only fragments pa

  • The Alpha's Human Mate   Chapter 69.

    Malachai's POV.I try to steady my breath as I lie in wait, listening for the faintest sound of movement. The thick darkness of the still night wraps around me like a blanket - I can feel myself melting away into my surroundings, becoming one with the dense terrain around me. Somewhere deep inside, something primal - instinctive has woken up. I feel more connected to the earth beneath me than I ever have. I feel like I'm exactly where I should be. Like I'm finally following the path that was set out for me ages ago - like I'm finally living my destiny, following my true calling.All of my senses are on high alert. I can hear the faint rustling of the leaves as the breeze whips through. I can smell the acrid, metallic scent of blood mixed with sweat in the crisp night air. I can feel the vibrations of movement in the soil beneath my bare feet. I can even taste the delicious mixture of fear and desperation hanging heavily in the air.This is the way it should be - the way it was always

  • The Alpha's Human Mate   Chapter 68.

    Emory's POV.The parking lot lies silent, utterly deserted. The emptiness clings to the night like a shroud, casting an eerie stillness over everything. Only the soft rustle of wind weaving through fallen leaves disturbs the quiet. But the air — it's different. It smells sharper, tastes metallic, feels heavier. Like the world is holding its breath. Something is coming. Something dark. Something that I fear we're not ready for yet.My skin tingles in the chill of the night. I find myself almost holding my breath as I wait for Hope to show up - I've finally developed the antidote she asked for. It wasn't easy - not at all. Whoever helped Malachai to concoct the poisonous blend wasn't messing around - a skilled chemist if I ever I saw one. I could almost admire his work if it weren't so vile. The poison spreads fast, attacking every living cell in the body, but the actual process of dying is slow - brutally painful. As soon as the poison enters the body, it begins to burn, eating away at

  • The Alpha's Human Mate   Chapter 67.

    Malakar's POV."She's a real natural."Lucian's voice comes from the treeline behind me. He steps up next to me and causally folds his arms over his chest. I turn my head slightly to acknowledge his presence before returning my attention to the clearing ahead. Most of the wolves are out there today, training - preparing for the war that's coming. Some of them are in their human form, others have shifted. Bodies fly through the air and collide with the earth in a flurry of dust and soil. Fists and claws make contact with earth-shattering force - some of them are bleeding, all of them are drenched in sweat. The training is intense, more intense than anything any of us have ever experienced, but it has to be because we're getting ready for a fight far worse than any of us have ever experienced. We have to be ready.And in the middle of all the chaos - Hope and Sarah - going at it like two natural-born fighters. Both of them skilled, both of them determined. Neither one of them willing to

  • The Alpha's Human Mate   Chapter 66.

    Hope's POV.The sun hangs low in the sky, filtering through the canopy of trees and casting golden beams across the training field — a secluded clearing on the edge of pack territory. It's quiet but tense, the kind of silence that comes before a storm.I stand in the center, sweat already clinging to my skin, my muscles taut with anticipation. Across from me, Sarah rolls her shoulders, her stance relaxed but ready. There's steel in her eyes — cold, calculated, unyielding.“Again,” She snaps, already moving before I can prepare.I barely dodge the sweep of her leg, stumbling to the side before regaining my balance. I duck low, trying to counter, but Sarah is faster. She grabs my wrist, twists, and in a heartbeat, I'm on my back, breath whooshing from my lungs.“You hesitate,” Sarah growls, towering over me. “Hunters won’t give you that luxury.”I cough and push myself up, anger flaring in my chest — not at Sarah, but at myself. “I’m trying.”“Try harder.”Sarah’s voice isn't cruel — it
