38: THE LADY IN RED
Last Updated:
2025-03-19 21:09:15"You need to leave, now," the man called Ronny replied in a tone that dropped several degrees colder. His right hand twitched slightly, causing Marcus to shift his position, ready to draw his weapon if necessary.
"We can go about this in a civilized manner, my good man," Marcus said, his voice raspy from his recent coughing fit but no less authoritative. "Or we can disrupt your establishment. Your choice, but either way, you will listen to us one way or another." His words carried the unmistakable threat of a man who had nothing else to lose but his life, and Emma was sure Ronny heard it too. The Beta's eyes held a feverish intensity that made his threat all the more believable.
"And I can tell that you're not the man in charge," Steve interjected smoothly, his keen eyes noting the almost imperceptible glances Ronny cast toward the back of the restaurant. "You look too worried to be the boss. We need to see your leader." He leaned forward slightly, lowering his voice a

"It will take more than a gold bar to get you a truck full of Mercury," The Lady replied, her voice silky smooth despite the hardness of her words. Emma caught the flicker of surprise that crossed the woman's face—a brief widening of those eyes before her features settled back into practiced neutrality. The Lady's perfectly manicured fingers tapped once, twice against the polished table, betraying her interest despite her cool demeanor.Steve leaned forward, the leather of his jacket creaking softly. His jawline, usually set with stubborn determination, looked even more pronounced under the dim lighting of the high-end restaurant. "I am willing to pay whatever it takes," he replied, his voice low but carrying the unmistakable authority of an Alpha. The desperation in his eyes belied his confident tone—Emma had never seen him this vulnerable, this willing to negotiate.The chandelier light caught on The Lady's diamond earrings as she tilted her head, studyin

The air in the room seemed to shift, growing heavier, more charged. The Lady stood up slowly and headed for the door, her movements graceful and fluid in a way that seemed almost inhuman. "We are going for a drive, Alpha Kane," she said, not bothering to look back to see if they would follow. She knew they would.Marcus gripped Steve's arm as they rose to follow, his voice dropping to a whisper that only werewolf hearing could detect. "This is not a good idea, Alpha Kane," he cautioned, eyes darting nervously to The Lady's retreating form. A bead of sweat rolled down his temple—the fever was getting worse.Sleazy, the informant who had reluctantly brought them to this meeting, saw them approaching and stood up hastily from his seat by the bar. His usually smug expression had been replaced by one of nervous anticipation, his eyes darting between The Lady and the exit like a cornered animal. Emma could almost smell his fear."My Lady," he said with a forced

"There is bad news, Alpha Kane," Marcus said with a painful strain in his voice, his normally confident facade crumbling as sweat beaded on his pale forehead. "Our snipers can no longer hold their positions.""Shit," Steve muttered, running his fingers through his disheveled hair. His jaw clenched tight enough to crack teeth, the muscle twitching beneath his stubbled skin. "We need to be on the road."Emma's stomach twisted into knots. Without the pack snipers, they had no chance of getting into Sterling Creek safely. The virus was decimating the werewolves' ability to function, and she could see the evidence of it in Marcus's trembling hands and the unnatural pallor of his normally ruddy complexion."To make matters worse," Marcus added, voice dropping to a hoarse whisper, "the rogues may overrun the pack if we do not do something quick." His knuckles whitened as he gripped the edge of his jacket, steadying himself against the truck's hood.The three of them climbed into the red truc

Steve's heart slammed against his ribs as he dived away just in time. The rogue werewolf's jaws snapped shut with a sickening crack where his leg had been a split second before. Saliva sprayed from its yellowed fangs, the putrid stench of rot and decay washing over him in waves."Too close," he gasped, the words barely escaping his lips before disaster struck.The evasive maneuver cost him his footing. His stomach lurched as he tumbled toward the edge of the container, the world spinning in a dizzying blur. His fingers clawed desperately at the smooth metal, finding nothing but air as he slipped off the side. A strangled cry escaped his throat as he plummeted—only to have his combat-honed reflexes kick in at the last possible second.His hand shot out, fingers curling around the container's edge with bone-crushing force. Pain exploded through his shoulder socket as his full weight yanked against the joint. The trailer swayed violently beneath him, Marcus d
Last Updated : 2025-03-20The Healer's Bond 43. ATTACK OF THE ROGUES
The trailer surged forward, the sudden acceleration nearly sending Steve tumbling into the horde below. His stomach dropped as he wavered on the edge, arms pinwheeling before he found his center of gravity again. Falling wasn't an option—Alpha or not, he couldn't fight hundreds of mindless killing machines, especially not with the virus weakening his ability to transform.Taking a knee to stabilize himself, Steve watched the rogues charge, their movements jerky and uncoordinated but terrifyingly fast. The truck's uneven pace made accuracy difficult, so he waited until they were almost upon him, close enough that he could see the veins bulging beneath their mangy fur.Three rapid shots rang out, and Steve rolled sideways, the creatures' momentum carrying them past him. They skidded across the metal surface before plummeting to the road below, dead before they hit the ground.A thunderous impact shook the entire truck. Steve whipped around to see two wolves

Pain exploded across Steve's back as claws ripped through his flesh, the searing agony stealing his breath. He hadn't sensed the rogue werewolf until it was too late—a momentary lapse that might cost him everything. The impact knocked him forward, his body pitching over the edge of the container as he and the creature tumbled through empty air.The world spun in a dizzying kaleidoscope of sky and asphalt. Steve's stomach lurched as gravity claimed him, the ground rushing up to meet him with deadly promise. In that fraction of a second, survival instinct took over—his hand shot out, fingers closing around the sideview mirror with bone-crushing force. His shoulder socket screamed in protest as his full weight yanked against it, the mirror bending ominously under the strain.His other hand gripped the SIG SAUER with white-knuckled determination. The weapon represented their only chance, their final line of defense. If he lost it now...I'll end up l

Emma's hands trembled slightly as she surveyed the crowd of werewolves gathering outside the makeshift medical station. Their eyes—filled with a mixture of hope, desperation, and reverence—followed her every move. A knot formed in her stomach. They viewed her as some sort of savior, though Steve had done most of the heavy lifting. Now their Alpha was fighting for his life after a vicious attack from a rogue werewolf's failed experiment.The weight of responsibility pressed down on her shoulders as she entered Steve's private quarters. His normally powerful frame looked diminished against the white sheets, his chest rising and falling with labored breaths. The deep gashes across his torso refused to heal—another fascinating insight into how the virus worked, though Emma took no pleasure in the discovery under these circumstances."How is he?" she whispered to Marcus, who stood guard at the doorway, his face etched with worry.The Beta ran a hand
Last Updated : 2025-03-21The Healer's Bond 46. HEALING WOUNDS
The claw wounds on Steve's back were slowly and painfully healing, each day bringing both relief and unfamiliar discomfort. The deep gashes—three parallel lines that ran from his right shoulder blade to the middle of his spine—burned with every slight movement. It was a first for him, this human-like recovery process."I would never have imagined that I would one day heal like a human being," Steve muttered, wincing as he sat perched on the edge of his bed. His knuckles turned white as he gripped the mattress, bracing against the shooting pain. His back faced Emma, who was examining the wounds with the critical eye of a medical professional, though her touch betrayed a gentleness that surprised even her.The memories of that bloody day flashed vividly in his mind. Steve had killed close to twenty-seven rogue werewolves—he'd counted each one, their snarling faces now permanently etched into his nightmares. The final confrontation had happened on the pr

“We cannot possible hide from those…things for forty-five minutes, it is impossible,” Marcus said in a strained voice as he climbed up the long flight of stairs.“This way,” Steve led them to a door that led to a floor in the building. “This building has a helipad so we just need to stay alive till the rescue team gets here.”“Is the whole city overrun with those things?” Emma asked in a distraught voice.“That would seem like the case, a lot of werewolf pack are have been affected.” Marcus replied as they walked through the hall way of the unknown floor.“Are those think even killable?” Steve wondered aloud.Emma shook her head. “I looked into their anatomy with my wolf sight, the only thing alive is their brain, they have no heat in them except for the head.”“Mason really outdid himself?” Steve said in low angry voice. Emma felt that the Alpha’s voice held a promise of pain and torture.“It was all Grimkeeper,” Emma said. “Mason is just a tool,” she added.“You know, I have not hea

Emma’s jaw dropped open immediately she laid eyes on what was making the ground shake. It was a monstrosity her mind could not comprehend.“What the fuck is that?” Steve whispered as he took a fearful step back.“We need to get the fuck out of this city,” Marcus said as he watched the thing that walked towards them.“Wait I recognize it,” Emma said in shock. “It is the monster wolves that were chasing us from earlier!”“We need to run!” Steve said and pulled Emma by the arm. The thing was heading for them and it made no sense to wait around.The things began to chase them and the trio broke into a run. It was a werewolf but uglier and wrong. it had five heads and a massive body with four powerful legs that stomped the ground, breaking the asphalt. It was surprisingly fast and gaining on them.“How is that thing even functioning?” Marcus asked as they ran.There was no time to even answer the question because left and right was filled with dead rotting bodies of werewolves and people.
The Healer's Bond 128: Something Coming
The first thing they noticed wasn’t the light.It was the smell.The stench of decay hit them like a wall the moment they stepped out from the rusted subway doors into the open. Rot. Burnt fur. Blood soaked into the soil. A smell so unnatural that even Marcus, whose senses had dulled under enchantments, took a staggering step back and retched into the overgrown weeds.Emma's eyes welled up—not from emotion, but from the sharp, acrid smoke still hanging in the air. The buildings near the edge of the city were no longer homes. They were carcasses. Entire blocks were blackened skeletons, burned out and hollowed by fire, claw marks and the rage of something worse than war—panic.Steve stood frozen. “What happened while we were gone?”No one answered him, because no one could.The streets were not just abandoned—they were wrong. Cars stood parked with doors flung open. Blood painted windshields. One had small handprints smeared across the glass—too small to be adults. No movement. No sound
The Healer's Bond 127. Two Weeks
Emma had her father's powers so she could see through his Chaos magic. The little time she had spent with Terra had showed her how to break and see through illusions."It is all a trick Steve," Emma said in a sad tone. "That is not your brother.""What?" Steve asked as he looked away from Grimkeeper."Your brother is here but he is not in prison or chained, Grimkeeper is just using your fears and bringing it to life," Emma revealed to him.Grimkeeper's growl caught their attention. "I do not appreciate the fact that you are getting in my way, daughter. Even though I do this for your own good. Did Terra not show you your fate?"Emma shook her head in disdain. "She only showed me the things that will happen if I let fear rule my heart. I have seen enough.""Emma, I am saving you from heart break, you will outlive him, watch him die, there is immortality in your blood, daughter," Grimkeeper said."That maybe so, but it is my life and not yours, I think I understand why you are doing all
The Healer's Bond 126. The Garden Shatters. The Wolf Awakens.
Terra’s whip-tail lashed the floor, sparks flying as its razor-sharp tip carved through stone. Her eyes glowed like twin embers, the smile gone from her lips. Now there was only cold intent."You shouldn’t have walked away, Emma," the succubus murmured, claws sliding out from her fingers with a wet snikt. “You’ve defied the Garden. Defied desire.”Emma dropped into a stance—legs shoulder-width apart, arms raised in a balanced curve. Her breathing slowed. Soma Fang. Ancient werewolf martial art. Rooted in grace, ends in devastation. Her wolf stirred under her skin—quiet, but burning with clarity.“I didn’t defy desire,” Emma said. “I chose reality.”Terra lunged first. A blur of pale limbs and tail. Her claws arced for Emma’s throat, but Emma twisted beneath them and sent a crushing elbow into Terra’s ribs. The succubus hissed, twisting her head, horns slicing through the air like obsidian blades.Emma barely ducked, somersaulted backward, and launched a lightning-fast Fang Spear—two-f
The Healer's Bond 125: The Pleasure
Emma’s thighs clenched involuntarily. Her reflection was screaming in pleasure, being taken by Steve driving into her from behind, his hands holding her head, breasts, waist. He was worshiping her like a goddess, filling her every hole, every need, every fantasy. “I don’t…” Emma whispered, even as heat pooled between her legs. “You want to be devoured,” Terra whispered at her ear, now behind her. “You want to be fought over. Ruined. Made holy through pleasure.” “No, I—” But the mirror pulsed, and suddenly Emma wasn't watching anymore. She was inside. Black petals brushed her skin as she landed on all fours, her body naked and arched. A strong hand grabbed her hips—Steve’s growl echoed in her ear. “She’s ready,” he said. His cock pressed against her—thick, pulsing with heat. Steve entered her first, slow and punishing, his hands gripping her waist. Emma gasped. “Open for me,” he said in a voice like temple bells. She obeyed. The rhythm was brutal and beautiful. Each thrust f
The Healer's Bond 124. The Deadly Floors of Grimkeeper III – A Walk Through Desire and Damnation
The crimson door creaked shut behind them, muffling the ragged breathing of the man who now lay unconscious on the velvet rug. Terra walked ahead, her golden tattoos glowing faintly under the infernal red light. Her heels clicked like war drums as she led Emma deeper into the heart of the Grim Floors.Emma's senses were overwhelmed—moans echoed faintly from behind darkened doors, the air was thick with incense, sex, and suffering. The healer in her reeled, but the werewolf in her… watched, hungry and curious.“Welcome to the feeding ground,” Terra said, spreading her arms wide as they emerged onto a balcony overlooking a vast arena below. The chamber stretched impossibly wide and tall—at the center, a gigantic black lotus floated above a pit of writhing bodies. Feeding platforms encircled the arena like theater boxes.“And what is this place?” Emma asked, her werewolf sight picking up glowing energies being drained from the bodies below and channeled into the black lotus.Terra licked
The Healer's Bond 123. THE FATHER'S DEMAND II
The silence between them was suffocating."I am not leaving, Emma for any reason and certainly not because of you," Steve growled.Steve stared angrily at the towering, pale-skinned entity before him—neither demon nor god, neither dead nor alive. Grimkeeper’s long fingers trailed the edge of a glass case containing a rusted dagger wrapped in faded red cloth."What reasons make you think that I would ever leave Emma's side?" The Sterling werewolf demanded."Sit," Grimkeeper said softly, but it was not a suggestion. It was a command that made Steve's bones tremble.He obeyed, lowering himself onto a cold obsidian bench while Grimkeeper remained standing, his shadow stretching long across the marble floor like a living thing."You asked me for the reasons," Grimkeeper said, his voice low, haunting. "Let me give you a thousand."Steve did not respond. His jaw was tight, fists clenched on his lap. Every instinct screamed at him to walk away, but something ancient in Grimkeeper’s aura held
The Healer's Bond 122. The Father's Demand
The Father's Demand"How old are you?" Steve asked, unable to contain his curiosity despite the tension between them.Grimkeeper's laugh was unexpectedly warm, rolling through the museum of his existence. "It depends on your understanding of the perception of time. But I leave that to you.""So you don't know?" Steve shot back, sarcasm a shield against the unnerving reality he faced."No," Grimkeeper corrected, "I'm saying your mind may not be able to comprehend my age. I do not perceive time the same way you do, son of Kane."Steve absorbed this, the implications staggering. "If I understand correctly, you're saying you've been around since the beginning of time.""I don't think those are the right words. I've been around before Time even became a concept," Grimkeeper replied with casual certainty that sent a chill down Steve's spine. "I will outlive even you, son of Kane, which brings me to why you are here."Something in his tone set off warning bells in Steve's mind. "Why am I her
