Elise pov

As I ran into the deeper forest, It all felt wrong that night. Too still. Too quiet. I clutched the map the Seeker had given me, my heart thudding in my chest as I pushed through the shadows toward the cave where the orb was hidden. Amelia and I had gone over the plan again and again—she'd promised she had my back.

"Are you sure about this?" she had asked earlier, her eyes filled with worry.

"I have to do this," I'd told her. "It's the only way to get free from Drake."

"I'll be right behind you," she'd promised. "Always."

But as I neared the entrance, something inside me twisted. The forest was too quiet. Even the night insects had gone silent.

"Amelia?" I whispered into the darkness.

No answer.

I stopped walking and listened. Nothing. Not even the sound of her breathing. My wolf bristled inside me, sensing danger.

*Where is she?* I thought.

*I don't know. But something's wrong.*

The cave mouth glowed faintly ahead of me, the air heavy with strange energy. I should have fel

  • The Alpha's Pampered Wolfless Mate    Desperate

    XANDER POVThe first thing I did was reach out desperately through the pack bond. Gerald. My Gamma's familiar voice snapped into my mind almost instantly, like coming home after years of exile.Alpha? he answered, shock and relief lacing his mental tone. Where are you? We thought you were—I don't have time to explain everything, I cut him off urgently. I'm coming back, but I need you to wait for my signal. Gather our most trusted allies. Prepare to strike when I return. We're taking power back from Lucia's treacherous hands. But not yet. Not until I'm completely ready.There was a heavy pause, then Gerald's reply. Understood completely, Alpha.I let the mental link fade reluctantly, but the moment our connection severed, that strange, wild energy surged through my veins again like liquid fire. My hands trembled uncontrollably as brilliant sparks of pure light danced across my palms like living creatures. Magic. Raw, untamed, and absolutely terrifying

  • The Alpha's Pampered Wolfless Mate    I Could Feel It Now

    Xander Pov I could feel it now—the hidden force my grandmother had spent her entire life keeping carefully locked away from me. Something infinitely darker and wilder than anything I had ever imagined possible.Focus, Xander, Skye urged with steady determination. You've trained your entire life for control. Channel that discipline now when it matters most.I forced my erratic breathing to steady, carefully channeling the overwhelming Alpha aura coursing through me. The silver chains hissed one final, defiant time before snapping apart completely, clattering uselessly to the cold floor of my cell room. My body sagged with exhaustion, trembling violently, but I was finally free.And then I felt her calling to me. Elise.Her voice was achingly faint, but somehow it reached across the impossible distance between us. Xander…?"Elise!" I shut my eyes tightly, clinging desperately to the fragile thread of her presence. "I hear you clearly now. Hold on, I'm com

  • The Alpha's Pampered Wolfless Mate    Damn You, Lucia

    Xander's POVDAYS BACK AT MOONSVILLE PACK I wanted to leave that same day I felt my powers awakened, but I had to stop. Footsteps made their way to the dungeon and I had to control the chains back on me. " You are so pathetic, Xander. You could have avoided all of this if you had just chosen me at first," Lucia's voice cut through the heavy air in the dungeon.I scoffed, not bothered to answer her. I just wanted to get out of this dungeon so I can save Elise." I would see how long you are still going to be stubborn," she slurred, her eyes twinkling with mischief.I raised my head, glaring at her. She was surely up to something. " Stubborn? I will advise you spend your days wisely, Lucia."She mocked, letting out a chuckle." Oh...I think someone else needs this advice better than I do. After all, a little bird whispered of a duel in Blood Moon pack. Tsk tsk tsk, it's a pity though."Was she talking about Elise

  • The Alpha's Pampered Wolfless Mate    Unprepared

    Elise povThe hidden passage spat me out into a large stone chamber, lit faintly by torches mounted on the walls. My breath caught as I took in the scene before me. I wasn't alone.Drake stood at the far end, his presence dominating the room like a shadow that swallowed everything whole. His sharp eyes gleamed with calculation, lips curling into the kind of smile that made my skin crawl. Beside him was Harriet, her arms folded, her gaze flickering between Drake and me with a mix of pride and something darker—envy, maybe.And then, to my shock, Amelia.She wasn't bound. She wasn't being dragged. She stood there, tense but unharmed, her eyes darting toward me, silently pleading for me not to expose her. My heart twisted—was she here by choice, or had Drake already suspected her loyalty?"Amelia?" I called out, my voice echoing in the chamber.She flinched but didn't answer. That told me everything I needed to know.The air was thick with tension. I felt like prey trapped between predato

  • The Alpha's Pampered Wolfless Mate    Rescued

    Elise povThe cell was suffocating. Days blurred into nights with no real difference between them except the creeping dread in my chest. My body ached from the cold floor, but it was my mind that burned the most, clawing for a way out."There has to be something," I whispered to myself, running my hands along the stone walls for the hundredth time.That was when I noticed it—tiny grooves carved into the stone behind the old cot. At first, I thought it was just cracks, but the more I traced my fingers along the wall, the clearer it became. It wasn't natural. Someone had carved lines there deliberately, like a mark... or a map.My heart thudded. Could this be what Amelia had tried to warn me about before everything went wrong?"Please let this be real," I breathed.I pressed against the stone with both hands. My palms trembled. To my shock, the wall gave way slightly. A thin draft of cold air brushed against my cheek, carrying with it the faint scent of pine and damp earth. Hope flared

  • The Alpha's Pampered Wolfless Mate    Confused

    Elise's POV**The walls of Drake's dungeon were cold and damp, leeching away the last of my strength. I sat curled in the corner, my wrists raw from the shackles, my thoughts gnawing at me harder than hunger ever could. Every moment I wasted here was another step Drake took closer to destroying everything I loved.The sound of boots echoed down the stone corridor. My body tensed, expecting one of Drake's brutish guards, but instead a folded scrap of cloth slipped silently under the iron bars of my cell door. My heart leapt—a flutter of desperate hope in the crushing darkness. It wasn't like his guards to leave notes.I crawled forward on scraped knees, fingers trembling as I picked up the mysterious cloth. It was thin and worn, marked with faint stitching that seemed random at first glance. I almost dismissed it as nothing more than frayed fabric—until I noticed the deliberate pattern hidden within the threads. My breath caught sharp in my throat. It was Amelia's handiwork.A secret c
