The Female Alpha And Her God Of War

~EMBERI woke up to the sound of dripping water. Slowly, I opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surroundings. As my gaze wandered, I realized I was in another dirty, cold dungeon. The walls were rough stone, and the air was damp and musty. A faint smell of mold and decay filled my nostrils—Its a cave.My heart began to pound as memories came flooding back. I was in a dragon's cave. “Teneger… he…” The memories came rushing back, and with them, a wave of pain and betrayal. He had stabbed me, stabbed me from behind without hesitation. I felt a searing pain in my back, and my vision blurred with tears. He had it all planned out from the start. From the pregnant mistress and getting rid of me.“Aeth” I called out to my wolf in a panic but couldn’t feel her. An ordinary dagger shouldn’t have so much effect on us…what could be wrong?I struggled to sit up but fell right back, realizing the extent of my injuries. The stab wound was excruciating. I heal faster than most werewolves but strang

~EMBERDeeply rooted in a spot, I couldn’t bring myself to utter a word except for the rapid beating of my heart and the movement of my chest rising and falling on rhythm. The mate bond is not a myth afterall, it’s the strongest feeling in the world. Unfortunately I get to experience this with Keres of all people.My lips parted slightly as I clenched my fists tighter to keep my desires locked in but my trembling hands could see through my facade, probably he did too.“Follow me” his voice finally broke the defeaning silence and tension thick in the air. Stunned, my brows creased at his level of control and his demand. Where is he taking me to?To my biggest surprise, I had tagged along subconsciously with my nose stuck in air to get more of his intoxicating scent. We had gotten to a large hall with a long dining table before I realized.I peered over the long arrangement of foods on the table to his face, hoping to find him suffering and struggling to keep the mate pull in check as

My heart pounded dangerously in my chest as I tried to process what had happened to me. Keres pulled me into his arms, tilted my head, and sank his fangs deep into my neck.My lips parted in shock, and pain shot through me like lightning.I gasped, blood spilling down my collarbone. My knees buckled, and I stumbled back, clutching the burning mark on my skin.“What…what have you done?” I choked, staring at him in disbelief and with bloody eyes.Keres only smirked. “I’ve claimed what’s mine, my mate” The way he said it tasted like poison in my mouth. Keres didn’t mark me because he wanted me… we are sworn enemies. This could be one of his evil ways to make my life miserable.The crowd erupted in shock, Anger, and Fear. My heart pounded as I watched everyone’s reactions.Teneger used the chaos to twist the knife deeper.“You see?” he shouted. “She’s been working with him all along! That’s why he’s here. She betrayed us! She killed my Luna!”The pack roared in agreement. Curses flew from

I was wide awake while others were still sleeping—or maybe they weren’t. It was almost like I could feel and hear their trembling voices, laced with fear and despair.As I lay in the remains of what’s left of my burned matrimonial bed, everything that happened flashed through my mind with a heavy sting. It felt like a wound that refused to close, literally.I stood up, mindlinked Aethonerra, and allowed her to take over. It’s been a while since we last had a good run in the pack. I couldn’t give her the freedom she deserved, all because of Teneger. Most of the time, it was a sneaky run at dawn, which mostly came with a backlash from my scrawny ex-husband.Aethonerra was extremely happy. I could feel the thrill from within as she raced through the woods. With the cold soil under her feet, her giant paws left powerful trails. A race in my father’s pack without fear of being seen. Hell! I didn’t mind the wetness coating my fur from the trees.After running for what felt like hours, I ret

EMBER~We crossed the border into Dakinral and the air changed like a held breath finally released. The last time I was here, I’d been blindfolded and dragged, every nerve reminded me of the raw humiliation. I had never imagined the place Keres called home would look…ordered. Alive. His packhouse was vast and beautiful, as if someone had taken the wild and taught it manners.The market we passed buzzed with life: stalls heavy with fruit, bolts of fabric folded neatly, mechanical tools, and children chasing each other between crates. For a second I felt a hint of enouement, like longing. What Moon Edge might have been if all these had never happened. Keres’s presence was instantly known before he even showed his face.As if on some unspoken cue, the crowd split. People cleared the road, faces folding into masks of reverence. They did not look frightened; they looked exactly with respect and obedience braided together. No one muttered. No one stared. Except for the pups who cowered unde
