Novel's POV

I didn't hear the door open. I didn't even hear the floorboards groan under his weight. I was lost in a sea of my own shadows until I felt the sudden, searing heat of hands on my shoulders.

I jumped, a small gasp escaping my throat.

"Alexei," I whispered, my voice thick with salt and grief.

  • The Alpha's World Claimed Me    A shoulder to cry on

    Novel's POV I didn't hear the door open. I didn't even hear the floorboards groan under his weight. I was lost in a sea of my own shadows until I felt the sudden, searing heat of hands on my shoulders.I jumped, a small gasp escaping my throat. "Alexei," I whispered, my voice thick with salt and grief."Why are you crying, Novel?" His voice was a low rumble, laced with a sharp edge of worry. He reached out, his fingers brushing my chin, trying to tilt my face toward his. I resisted, tucking my head down. I didn't want him to see the wreckage behind my eyes. I wanted the tears to stop, but they were like a dam that had finally burst."Is it because of me?" he asked softly."I hate myself so much!" The scream tore out of me before I could stop it. "I think life would have been better for everyone if I just... wasn't in the picture.""Novel, don't say that……""I hate that you love me so much!" I stood up abruptly, my chair skidding back. My hands were clenched so hard my nails bit into

  • The Alpha's World Claimed Me    A Best Friend

    Alexei's POV I knew what Novel said made sense. To anyone else, I probably looked like a fool for holding on.But the revelation she’d just shared felt like a physical weight in the room. Maxillo had a scar on his wrist? He was bigger now? I ran a hand through my hair, my heart hammering against my ribs. I couldn't bring myself to believe Viktor would lie. There was no reason for it, no motive for him to betray the one person who had his back.Novel didn't understand. She couldn't. Viktor had been the anchor in my life since the day he was brought to this pack.I closed my eyes, and the memories rushed in. I saw myself as a small boy again. Lonely, So damn lonely. As the Alpha’s son, I was a ghost to the other children. They saw the golden hue of my eyes, the mark of a wolf that had claimed me before I was ready….and they turned away in fear. My father was always buried in pack business; my mother was a blur of movement between her duties and the library. I was a prince in a golde

  • The Alpha's World Claimed Me    This isn't Maxillo

    Novel's POV After Viktor led Emilia from the room, the silence left behind felt heavy and suffocating. Alexei turned to me, his brow furrowed with a suspicion he couldn't quite hide.“What were you two really talking about?” he asked.I forced a small, practiced smile, trying to keep my voice steady. “Nothing for you to worry about, Alex. Just girls talk.”“Really? Because I can tell when you’re lying to me, Novel.” He stepped closer, his eyes searching mine.I looked away. I couldn't tell him, not yet. He wouldn't believe that Viktor, his closest confidant, was a snake in the grass. I had no proof, no evidence that Emilia was merely a pawn in a much larger, darker game. If I spoke now, I would just sound paranoid.“Did you see Maxillo’s body?” I asked, desperate to change the conversation.“Yes. Viktor sent me a photo of the scene,” Alexei said, pulling his phone from his pocket.He scrolled for a moment before turning the screen toward me. The second my eyes hit the image, the worl

  • The Alpha's World Claimed Me    Viktor's POV

    Viktor's POV I still remember the day I was brought to the Red Moon Pack. I can still feel the weight of the eyes on me, every member of this pack looking down at me with a mixture of suspicion and forced charity.They destroyed my home, then had the audacity to claim they took pity on us. People say rogues don’t have homes, but I did. I won’t deny that my people struck first or that blood stained the earth because of it, but it doesn't matter. I will have my revenge.I knew Alexei would never see me as an enemy. That lonely, pathetic boy was always starving for his parents' attention. When they were too busy leading, I was the one he crawled to. I liked him once; I even thought of him as a brother. But my ambition outweighs my affection. I want to be the Alpha. The sting of insult still burns in my chest when I remember my mate, Ava, being pushed toward him just because he held a title I didn’t.The prophecy is a shadow I have yet to step into, but I’ve pledged to uncover it by any

  • The Alpha's World Claimed Me    Caught Red handed

    Novel’s POVI woke up to an empty room. The golden afternoon light filtered through the curtains, but the space beside me was cold.“What happened to me?” I asked the quiet air.“You fainted from exhaustion,” a voice chirped, making me nearly jump out of my skin.I whipped my head around until my eyes landed on Kitty. She was sitting majestically on the floor by the bedside, her white fur glowing in the sunlight.“Kitty! You scared me,” I huffed, clutching my chest. I took a breath to steady my racing heart. “Where is Alexei?”“He went to deal with some business. I heard him mention a woman named Elora.”“I see.”I didn't rush us back home just to sleep; I came back to solve the puzzle. I needed to confront the visions and the voices that had been haunting me. I stood up, my muscles feeling heavy but functional, and headed for the bathroom.I peeled off my clothes and sank into the warm depths of the bathtub. “How I missed this,” I sighed, leaning my head back against the porcelain.

  • The Alpha's World Claimed Me    Escaped (The Enermy is close)

    Alexei’s POVIt had been two days since we returned home, and Novel was still unconscious. I knew her new powers would have a side effect, but the sight of her so still made my chest ache. I looked at the white wolf who had been sitting by Novel’s side since the moment we arrived.“Kitty,” I called out. The wolf looked up, her piercing blue eyes meeting mine.“You were the wolf I saw on the mountain, the one with the blue eyes, right?” I asked. She didn't bark, but there was an intelligence in her gaze that was unsettlingly human. “I don’t know why Novel decided to keep you, but I want you to know one thing: you have to protect her. She is weak right now.”I looked back at Novel, her pale face framed by the dark silk of her hair. “She’s everything I’ve got. I promise to reward you handsomely if you keep her safe.”“Ahhh,” I sighed, the sound heavy in the quiet room.I had unfinished business with the people who had dared to harm my Luna. I couldn't wait for her to wake up to handle t

    Novel's POV After the Full Moon ceremony ended, I was led back to the room where I had waited earlier. My head was spinning, I would have fainted right there in the woods if Alexei hadn't been by my side. Everything felt like a fever dream.The maids helped me sit at the edge of the bed before le
