The silence held like a fragile glass dome—ready to crack with the next breath.

Elena slowly stood from the stone bench, her hand still laced with Asher’s. The blood had dried on his knuckles, a dark contrast to her soft, steady fingers. Around them, the night air hummed with unspoken tension. Somewhere beyond the walls, the pack waited. Watched. Whispered.

She lifted her chin.

And walked forward.

“Asher,” she said quietly, her voice a thread of steel wrapped in silk, “stay here. Breathe.”

He nodded, reluctant but obedient, his eyes never leaving her.

She turned toward the courtyard’s archway where the first lines of pack members had begun to gather—hesitant, uncertain, wide-eyed. Grayson stood among them, stiff and unreadable. Lena hovered just behind him, arms crossed but eyes flickering with something—something like waiting.

Elena stepped into view.

“Enough,” she said.

The word sliced through the air.

Dozens of heads turned toward her. Murmurs died. Shoulders squared.

Her tone wasn

  • The Alpha's Obsession    Chapter 1 - Elena Morgan

    Elena’s Point of View With a slow drag of my marker, I drew a straight line across the wall, then stepped back to look at it. Two thousand one hundred and ninety days. Almost six years had passed since my parents vanished—more like abandoned me. I wasn’t even sure why I kept track of the days. Maybe deep down, I hoped they would return someday. When I was twelve, I longed for them like any child would, but now, at nearly eighteen, I no longer wanted them back. Soon, I could leave this place forever. I never got an explanation for why they disappeared, though the most obvious reason was me—being born the weakest of the pack. Still, that didn’t justify leaving their own child behind, especially in the hands of people who despised me. Each day brought a fresh form of cruelty, whether humiliation or physical pain. And believe me, pain was always their first choice. It didn’t matter who started it; someone would, and another would finish it. The only person in the entire pack who n

  • The Alpha's Obsession    Chapter 2 – Asher Bennett

    Asher's POV "Eliminate them. Show no mercy." My voice was calm but firm as I stared at the two rogues who had foolishly crossed into my land. Terror filled their eyes, but it was too late for regret. "Yes, Alpha," Grayson, one of my most capable warriors, responded before I turned away, already losing interest. I had wasted enough time dealing with intruders. My mother, Margot, was waiting for me, and I hated making her wait. Since my father, Henry, passed away, she hadn’t been the same. Truthfully, neither had I. His death changed everything. Not long after, my mother fell gravely ill, barely able to leave her bed. I missed the days when she would wake up early, smiling as she prepared breakfast for the entire pack. Losing my father left a hole in my heart, making me even more ruthless than before. But my mother’s suffering—watching her waste away—fueled an anger in me I couldn’t contain. People say when a mate dies, the one left behind experiences unbearable pain, sometime

    Elena’s POV "Alright, Lay, time to blow out the candles!" My mother’s joyful voice rang in my ears as I stared down at my birthday cake, a Lightning McQueen design in bright red. People laughed at me for picking that cake when I turned seven, saying it was for boys, but I didn’t care. Red was my favorite color, and back then, I loved cars more than anything. I took a deep breath and blew out the candles, feeling a small gust of air bounce back onto my face. A camera clicked, capturing the moment forever. "Now, what comes next, Lay?" My father’s voice came from my left, while my mother stood smiling on my right. I giggled, excited. "I make a wish, and if I wish really hard, the birthday gods will grant it!" ---A single tear slid down my cheek, landing on an old photograph—me at seven years old, grinning between my parents, Celeste and Julian. Back then, life was filled with love and happiness. My parents adored me. But something had changed. They had left, disappeared

    Asher’s Perspective Lying on my bed, my wolf wouldn’t stop pestering me. He kept demanding a run, nagging at me nonstop since last night. I had denied him repeatedly, but he wouldn't settle down. Ever since my brief encounter with Elena a few hours ago, he had been restless, and I had no clue why. Was it because she was a runt? I exhaled deeply, pushing myself out of bed. After freshening up, I made my way to my mother’s room, knocking softly before stepping in. "Mom, are you awake?" I whispered, just in case she was still asleep. Peeking in, I noticed she was indeed resting. I walked over quietly, adjusting her blanket to make sure she was comfortable, then placed a gentle kiss on her forehead before leaving, shutting the door behind me. Something about today felt different. A strange, unshakable feeling loomed over me, like I was supposed to be somewhere important. As I strolled toward the pack house, Connor approached me with his usual smug expression. "Hey, man," he

    Elena’s Point of View"Why hasn’t she woken up yet?" a deep voice roared, frustration dripping from every word, followed by a low, menacing growl."Alpha, please, I need you to remain calm," another voice responded carefully, treading with caution. "She’s been through a lot. Her body needs time to recover from the lack of oxygen. But if you’d like, I can conduct additional tests to ensure everything is okay."That scent. Woodsy with a hint of spice. That meant Asher was here.The last thing I could recall was Connor's hands tightening around my throat, stealing the air from my lungs. Then suddenly, Asher had intervened, stopping him. And then… he called me his mate.Goddess above. The Alpha? My mate?This couldn't be real. It was impossible. He was leagues above me—a powerful leader, feared and respected—while I was nothing more than a weak, insignificant runt.Why would someone like him care about whether I woke up or not?Maybe he didn’t. Maybe he was here to reject me, to cast me a

    "You're trembling." Elena stiffened at the sound of Asher’s voice. His presence was overwhelming, even as he stood a few feet away. "I'm fine," she muttered, curling her hands into fists to stop them from shaking. Asher didn't move. His golden eyes studied her with an intensity that made her skin prickle. "You're lying." Elena swallowed hard. "Does it even matter?" Silence. Then, "It matters to me." She wanted to scoff, to tell him not to pretend. But she couldn't find the strength to fight him right now. Asher took a slow step forward. "You don't trust me." "Should I?" Her voice was sharp, laced with bitterness. He exhaled, a rough, frustrated sound. "I'm not them, Elena." She flinched. Them. Connor, Nathan, Harris, Emerson—the ones who had made her life a living nightmare. "I know," she whispered. But knowing wasn’t the same as believing. --- Elena had long accepted that she was alone. She had stopped hoping for friendships, for kindness, for anything

    Elena clutched the bottle of lotion tightly, trying to steady her breathing. She had barely processed the weight of Asher’s reaction when she forced herself to stand. Every movement sent sharp pain through her ribs, but she bit down on the discomfort. She needed to get back to her room. Stepping into the dimly lit hallway, she kept her head down, avoiding eye contact with the few passing wolves. The tension of the evening still lingered in the air. The Blood Moon pack wasn’t used to seeing their Alpha this enraged. Elena turned the corner—then suddenly, a strong hand clamped over her mouth. Her eyes widened in terror as she was yanked into the shadows. Emerson’s cold whisper pressed against her ear. “You don’t know when to keep your mouth shut, do you?” Panic surged through her as she struggled against his iron grip. “We should’ve finished this earlier,” Harris muttered, stepping in front of her. Emerson’s fingers tightened over her mouth. “If you tell Asher anything e

    "Why do you keep your door locked when no one else does?" Elena tensed at the question, watching Asher as he stood by the door, his broad frame blocking the exit. His tone wasn’t demanding, but there was something unsettling about how he asked—like he wasn’t just curious but deeply bothered by it. She forced a small shrug. "For safety." A muscle in his jaw ticked. "Safety from who?" Elena looked away, pretending to adjust the pillow beneath her. "It’s just a habit." Silence. She could feel his eyes on her, like he was peeling back layers she didn’t want exposed. Finally, he exhaled sharply and moved. She flinched before she could stop herself, her body reacting on instinct. But instead of approaching her, Asher turned his attention to the rest of the room. He was inspecting her space. His hands traced over the wooden desk near the window, fingers ghosting over the few worn-out books stacked neatly on the surface. He ran a finger across the windowsill, his brows furro

    The Shattering Calm: “I told you not to touch her.”Asher’s voice was low, guttural—nearly inhuman. His body was a blur of motion.“No—!”Nathan’s scream barely left his lips before a sickening crack echoed through the air.Then silence.The kind that wraps around the lungs and crushes.The kind that halts time.Gasps broke out in waves. A few stumbled back. Others covered their mouths. A baby somewhere wailed. But no one moved.Nathan’s body hit the stone floor with a finality that silenced even the torches.He wasn’t breathing.Not twitching.Not alive.Elena didn’t scream. She couldn’t.Her breath had left her the moment Nathan’s hand had clamped around her wrist.Now, standing there, the imprint of his fingers still burning her skin, she stared—at the lifeless heap that had once been a boy she grew up with.And then at Asher.His chest heaved, but his face—gods.His eyes were pitch black, a storm of rage and instinct, his jaw clenched so tight she swore his teeth would shatter.

But her gaze was elsewhere—forward, fixed.She wasn’t done.“Bring them back,” she said suddenly.Ashe

    …She’d chosen mercy.And it hadn’t broken her.It had saved her.Elena turned back just as the guards began pulling Connor away, metal cuffs biting into his wrists.“Wait.”Her voice, though quiet, cut through the air like a blade.The guards froze.Connor didn’t lift his head.Asher’s brow furrowed. “Elena?”She stepped forward, her spine straight, her shoulders high. “Don’t lock him back in the dark.”“Elena,” Asher growled, stepping closer, his arm sliding protectively in front of her. “He doesn’t get a choice. He *doesn’t* get comfort.”“He’s not asking for comfort,” she replied. “He didn’t ask for anything.”“He’s a traitor,” Asher snapped. “A criminal. And *you*—you’re the one he nearly destroyed.”“I know,” she whispered.The air between them thickened.Elena turned, meeting the eyes of the guards. “Set him in a monitored cell. One with light. Give him a blanket. Let Vivian sit with him if she chooses.”“You don’t understand what you’re asking,” Asher said, voice low, taut with

    …And this time, she was free.The sound of another cell door creaking open shattered the silence.Gasps echoed through the hallway.Elena turned just in time to see guards scrambling down the corridor. One of them barked into a comm-link. “Breach in Cell Block B!”Asher’s head snapped up. “What the hell—?”They rushed toward the second chamber.A small crowd had already gathered. Grayson stood ahead of them, jaw clenched, eyes locked on something—or someone—inside.Elena pushed through just behind Asher.And froze.Vivian was on her knees, clinging to the bloodstained shirt of the man slumped against the wall.Connor.Her mate.Unchained.His arms hung limp, hands cut and bruised, but the metal cuffs that should’ve bound him lay discarded on the floor.“What—” Asher’s voice boomed. “What is this?!”None of the guards answered.They looked afraid.Ashen.One stammered, “She... she forced the door. Said it was her right.”“You let her unchain him?” Asher snapped.“We didn’t touch the cu

    The Choice of Mercy: “I can hear your heart,” Asher murmured, voice thick with morning rasp. “It’s racing.”Elena’s lips curved, her cheek nestled against his bare chest. “Because you’re the one holding me.”His hand traced lazy circles along her spine. “Do you feel safe?”“With you?” She lifted her head, eyes glowing in the morning light. “I feel like nothing in this world can touch me.”Asher leaned forward, brushing his lips along her temple. “That’s all I ever wanted to give you.”Elena tilted her face up, caught in the honey warmth of his hazel eyes. “You’ve given me more than safety, Asher. You’ve given me something I never thought I’d have again.”He smiled softly. “And what’s that?”“Wholeness.”For a few blissful moments, silence cradled them—comforting and weightless. Outside the windows, dawn slipped through the trees like golden silk, painting their bed in soft warmth. Elena breathed it in, the scent of Asher’s skin, the steady rhythm of his breathing, the feeling of bein

    Elena let herself sink into the moment, feeling the soothing weight of Asher’s arms around her. But soon, a mischievous spark lit in her chest, refusing to let the peace stay too serious.“Sit over there,” Elena said suddenly, nudging Asher’s chest with a grin.He blinked, confused but amused. “Bossy,” he teased, but obediently shifted across the bed, sitting up against the pillows.Elena scrambled off the bed and found a battered old sketchbook and a pencil from her nightstand drawer. “Don’t move,” she said with exaggerated sternness, tossing a wink over her shoulder.“Am I about to be immortalized?” Asher smirked, lounging dramatically as if he were about to pose for a royal painting.Elena giggled. “Yes, but if you keep moving like that, it’s going to be a disaster.”He puffed out his chest, then instantly ruined the serious pose by grinning mischievously. “Paint me like one of your French wolves, my Queen.”She burst into laughter, tossing a handful of popcorn from the bowl on the

    The room hummed with the quiet sounds of their breathing, the world outside forgotten. Elena shifted slightly against Asher, feeling the warmth of his body wrap around her like a living shield. For a long, blissful moment, they simply held each other, their hearts beating in lazy tandem.Eventually, Asher stirred, brushing his lips lazily across her temple. “Come on, beautiful. Let’s get cleaned up,” he whispered, his voice rough with exhaustion and lingering tenderness.Without letting go of her hand, he guided her toward the large bathtub tucked in the corner of the room. Elena chuckled sleepily as the warm water filled, steam curling up around them like a cocoon.“Lazy wolf,” she teased as he lifted her effortlessly into the bath with him, settling her between his legs, her back resting comfortably against his chest.“You’re one to talk,” Asher murmured, pressing a playful kiss to her wet shoulder, making her giggle.The water enveloped them in heat and comfort. Elena sighed in con

    The world outside their little cocoon faded into nothing but heartbeats and whispered breaths.Asher's fingers brushed slow, teasing circles along Elena’s bare hip, drawing a soft gasp from her lips. His touch grew bolder, more deliberate, tracing the sensitive line of her waist, then venturing lower, making her body arch into him instinctively."Asher..." she whispered, breathless, her nails digging lightly into his shoulders.He chuckled against her skin, low and teasing. "What is it, beautiful?" he murmured, nipping playfully at the curve of her neck."You’re... you're teasing me," she said, half-laughing, half-whimpering, the sound laced with undeniable need.He lifted his head, eyes dark and full of wicked affection. "Maybe I am," he said, his voice rough with desire. "You drive me crazy... it’s only fair."Elena whined softly, bucking her hips up to him. "Please," she whispered, her voice cracking with longing.The simple word made Asher growl low in his throat, his restraint cr
