IVY’S POV

“He’s back,” Kane said, voice low and raw.

I stared into his storm-dark eyes. “He thinks he can walk into our hold and take me with a birthright?”

Kane’s jaw clenched. “He believes Ivy’s celestial blood will crown him god among wolves.”

The words hung in the air like a knife. My breath caught as I met his gaze.

Alpha Lawrence White stood just inside the circular clearing of our High Hall. The torchlight flickered off his pale hair, the carved cane in his hand- an artifact of ancient power. A long cloak shimmered in hues of deep midnight. Around him, a halo of elders and guards stood silent, watching.

He stepped forward, voice smooth and arrogant. “Alpha Kane Blackwood, I come to claim what was promised by ancient oath.”

Kane stood across from him, unwavering. “That promise is broken.”

Lawrence shrugged, with a cruel smile. “Broken? Or simply fulfilled incorrectly?”

He turned toward me, and the air rippled around us. “Ivy, celestial bride of Ironwood, the bearer of the flame

  • The Alpha’s Reluctant Mate   Chapter Fifty-Eight

    AUTHOR’S POVLawrence White returned, accompanied by three of his elite. He paused at the glade’s edge—tall torches roared.He climbed in silence, watching the camp dark and ready.“The challenge has begun,” he murmured.Emerald light pulsed from a scroll in his hand. He unfurled it, ink black in torchlight.It bore a single message in red scorch lines:NIGHTFALL WILL BREAK OR DIE.A threat. A promise.He folded it with care.************************************The moon was silver and silent, high above Nightfall’s fortress towers, casting soft light across the cold stones. Beneath it, war brewed, not just beyond the walls, but within them.Nightfall’s defenses were being compromised.But no one knew by whom.And that was exactly how Derick intended it.“Hold your line!”Kane’s voice cracked across the training yard like thunder. The warriors, clad in leather and fur, scrambled into place but Ivy could see it, even from the steps of the watchtower.Something was wrong again.Banners

  • The Alpha’s Reluctant Mate   Chapter Fifty-Seven

    AUTHOR’S POVMoonlight pooled on weathered wood as Derick stood with arms folded, awaiting Lawrence’s arrival. He knew this moment would reshape Nightfall’s future or shatter it completely.A sudden hush in the corridor signaled the older Alpha’s approach. Lawrence White stepped into view, cloak swaying, blade’s hilt glinting at his hip.“Alpha White,” Derick greeted with formal nod, though every muscle thrummed with anticipation.Lawrence’s pale eyes reflected steel. “You’ve done well. You’ve brought me the blade I need- your Alpha’s trust in his mate.”Derick’s chest tightened, half-protective pride, half-nervous thrill. “I stand with Nightfall. I… I want its strength preserved.”Lawrence offered a slow, appraising smile. “Then listen: when I return, I’ll need those who understand change, those willing to shape it. You, Derick Blake, will be my emissary here.” He gestured to the high towers, the glowing border watch.Derick’s breath caught. “An Ironwood-backed authority… above even

  • The Alpha’s Reluctant Mate   Chapter Fifty Six

    IVY’S POVThe air was thick with anticipation. Dawn’s first light revealed a crisp chill, but the firestones still glowed faintly where I stood beside Kane on the courtyard hill. Our victorious roar had barely faded, yet a deeper threat pressed in at the edges of my vision.I could hear the distant clatter of armor. Alpha Lawrence’s war band returning to his stronghold. He’d retreated to regroup, but the echo of his threat still rang in my bones.Behind me, Kane’s hand found mine- urgent, fierce.“Kane,” I whispered, breath clouding in the cold. “They’re going to attack.”His eyes never wavered from the ridge where Lawrence had vanished. “Let them,” he replied tightly. “We’ll stand ready.”A harsh voice broke the silence.“You’ll stand… even as we bleed?”I turned sharply. Derick- cold and unreadable stepped forward. His gaunt silhouette cut into the pale dawn.Kane stiffened. “Derick. What are you doing here?”Derick’s jaw tightened, eyes flicking to me before settling back on Kane.

    IVY’S POVAt nightfall’s gate, warriors lined the walls, steel glinting beneath torchlight. I stood unwavering beside Kane. The crowd’s tension was so thick, I could taste it.Kane spoke raising his voice “Nightfall! He lights the flame, expecting to burn us down. He assumes my mate is nothing more than ancient collateral. We declare: Not today.”A booming roar surged from the crowd.Derick stepped forward, eyes cold, tone barbed “If she fails, this pack bleeds. Don’t pretend this is abstract honor.”He tapped the edge of his blade. “We need more than ceremony.”Kane squared his shoulders. “Then trust her to lead. She faced Bloodborne and won. She’ll stand as we do.”I swallowed and spoke into the stillness. “I stand with you, all of you.”A hush took hold as though the pack had just recognized a sword rising from the cold.Lawrence emerged at the gate’s threshold, pale hair glistening, his voice echoing across the courtyard.“Alpha Kane, hear me. Hand me the celestial bride. Let Nig

  • The Alpha’s Reluctant Mate   Chapter Fifty-Three

    IVY’S POV “Kane,” I whispered. “He’s here.” I didn’t turn away from the window. I couldn’t. The figure remained rooted at the edge of the trees, unmoving, shadowed by mist and moonlight. But I felt it. Like pressure beneath the skin, an oppressive force brushing against every part of me that knew instinctively what power tasted like. And this… this was power. Kane was beside me a heartbeat later, jaw tight. His gaze locked onto the silhouette. “I thought we had three days,” I said, my voice thin and cold. “So did I,” Kane replied. “He’s sending a message.” A low, rough voice carried across the wind. Ancient and commanding. “I come under truce.” My blood chilled. “He wants an audience,” Kane murmured, eyes narrowing. “Not a battle. Not yet.” We didn’t speak as we descended the stairs and crossed the grounds. Wolves gathered in hushed clusters, tension rippling like static across the entire estate. Kane signaled two sentries to stay behind me as we
