"We have company, Alpha Kane," Marcus' voice crackled through the Walkie-talkie on the table. The air in the room shifted instantly, tension creeping in like an uninvited guest.
Both Steve and Emma turned to each other, their eyes mirroring the same concern.
"The Sentinel?" Steve asked, already reaching for the device, his voice a mix of urgency and suspicion.
"Negative, it's Lady Long," Marcus replied.
Emma's frown deepened.
Lady Long? What was she doing here? What could she possibly want?
"How do you know it's her?" Steve asked, his fingers gripping the Walkie-talkie tighter.
"I would recognize that limousine anywhere, Alpha Kane," Marcus stated with certainty.
Steve inhaled sharply, his jaw tightening. "I'm coming outside."
"Over and out," Marcus said before the line went dead.
Emma folded her arms across her chest, watching as Steve pulled on a shirt. A part of her wished he hadn’t. Even after all these
Steve was ready to flare up, his temper rising like a storm barely contained. His muscles tensed, his claws threatening to emerge, but a single warning look from Emma made him swallow the growl building in his throat. He exhaled sharply, forcing himself to stay in control. Now was not the time to let emotions cloud his judgment. Not when the stakes were so high.The silence that followed was thick, almost suffocating, as if the very air in the room had turned to lead. This was a revelation Steve had not been prepared for, a truth that slithered into his mind like a venomous snake."A dragon working with humans to hunt down werewolves," Steve finally said, his voice dangerously quiet. The accusation in his tone was unmistakable, laced with something far deadlier than anger—betrayal.Lady Long, standing with an air of effortless grace, did not flinch. Instead, she offered a slow, measured shake of her head. "You are mistaken, Alpha Steve," she replied, her voice smooth as silk, yet firm
Emma was still reeling from all the things she had heard from the Dragon Lady. Her head was spinning with the weight of the revelations, and she could hardly believe how deep the Sentinel’s influence ran.“Wow… that was a lot,” she murmured to herself, standing up to stretch her legs. Her muscles were stiff, her heart heavy with anxiety. She had always found solace in movement, in pacing—walking helped her clear her head, but right now, no amount of movement could shake the turmoil within her.Steve watched her with an intensity that made her stomach twist. “I would never let them get to you,” he said, his voice a quiet promise that sent a shiver down her spine. His words held a raw possessiveness that wrapped around her like a warm, invisible chain. It was comforting, yet dangerous.She swallowed hard, nodding slightly but offering no reply. She didn’t doubt his words—she never had. Steve had already proven his loyalty to her, saving her from four monstrous werewolves when she had be
They lay entwined in each other’s arms, as if the universe had conspired to bring them to this moment. The room was still, save for the rhythmic rise and fall of their breaths. The glow of the moon filtered through the curtains, casting a soft silver hue over their entangled bodies. It felt so right—so natural—that Emma almost wished she could forget everything else. Almost.Resting her head on Steve’s broad, sculpted chest, she felt the steady beat of his heart against her cheek. It was comforting. It was dangerous. She knew that this moment, as perfect as it seemed, was fragile—ephemeral. A question lingered on her tongue, one she had asked before, one that had haunted her for years.But did she truly want to ruin this fleeting moment with the past?She exhaled slowly, tightening her grip on the sheet covering her bare skin. The silence between them was not empty—it was thick with unspoken words, unhealed wounds, and truths too heavy to be spoken aloud.“You’re thinking again,” Stev
Steve rode his expensive motorcycle at full speed as he tried to calm himself. Riding his motorcycle helped him clear his head but this morning was a bit different.He had experienced a really great time with Emma and he never imagined that sex with her could be that mind blowing.Seeing his pack finally healed of the virus made him happy for the first time in three weeks. He owed everything to Emma and for as long as he lived, he would use every waking moment to repay her as best as he could.He knew that he was very lucky to get her back into his life and after the going body to body with her, Steve knew that he was hooked and was not letting her go anywhere anytime soon.He wanted to feel the pressure of her pussy on his cock all over again. He would give almost anything to suck on her breasts and squeeze her body close to his.Steve saw the entourage of government officials on the horizon of the outskirts of his territory.Four police cars, four ambulances and two huge garbage dis
The night air was thick with tension, the silence stretching between the men like an invisible noose tightening around their throats. The scent of burnt metal and charred earth from the crash site still lingered, mingling with the damp musk of the forest. Steve stood his ground, his piercing gaze locked onto the two men before him. He had already ruined their little secret, and they damn well knew it."I know you’re federal agents," Steve said, his voice as cold as the steel of his motorcycle. "And I don’t give a shit which agency you work for. But make no mistake—you’re the ones trespassing."The older of the two agents, a grizzled man with weary eyes, shifted uncomfortably. His partner, younger and brimming with barely concealed aggression, clenched his fists."We didn’t know—" the older agent began, but Steve cut him off with a sharp scoff."Bullshit. And even if you didn’t, you sure as hell do now." He jerked his head toward the twisted wreckage behind them, where men in hazmat su
The Sterling Creek pack was healed, and the relief in the air was almost tangible. Thanks to Emma’s genius as a healer, an entire community had been saved from devastation. Steve knew, without a shred of doubt, that he would forever be grateful to her. But that gratitude came with a gnawing sense of guilt. Because here he was, about to risk her life again. The Sterling Creek pack was the safest place in the entire werewolf community, a fortress built on blood, discipline, and sacrifice. And yet, safety was an illusion, a temporary lull before the next storm. Steve stood watch with his wolves, his sharp gaze fixed through the sniper scope, surveying the ruins of the battlefield where the EMP Moon blast had obliterated the rogues. From another vantage point, Marcus monitored with binoculars, his stance rigid, alert. It had taken the humans two full days to clean up the wreckage. Blood-stained ground. Charred remains. The smell of death clinging stubbornly to the air like an un
The air was thick with tension, a stale mixture of sweat, blood, and decay. The moon cast long shadows on the abandoned road, stretching across the asphalt like spectral fingers. The men standing before Steve Kane and Marcus were barely recognizable as the ruthless werewolves they once were. Now, they were gaunt, their bodies weakened, their eyes hollow from sickness and desperation.Steve took them in—every trembling limb, every quivering breath, every subtle shift of weight as they clung to the last shreds of defiance. He should have felt something. Pity, maybe. A whisper of remorse. But all he felt was cold satisfaction.They were filth. They had always been filth. And he had no regrets about what had been done to them.The leader of the ragged group—if he could even still be called that—stepped forward, his breathing labored, his shoulders sagging under the weight of an invisible burden.“We had a deal,” the man rasped, his voice as b
“You have nothing to be nervous about, I will not let anything happen to you,” Steve said as the plane soared through the air.“Because you will kill anyone who comes for me?” Emma replied harshly. She was still upset by what she witnessed back on the road.Steve sighed and turned to the window. He did not expect her to understand him or his world. Maybe one day when she eventually walked in his shoes, she might understand that the work of an Alpha was a dangerous one.Steve wondered if she was not relieved that he rejected her from the start.“Where are we going once, we land?” Emma asked. Steve may not be her favourite person at the moment but she knew how childish it was to give him the silent treatment.“A five-star hotel with a view,” Steve replied.“We need to see someone,” Emma said.“Who?”“A human doctor, she is my friend and an Immunologist,” Emma answered.“Sarah Myers,” Steve replied with a nod.“You remember her,” Emma said with surprise in her voice.“She was nice to me,
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 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
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
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
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 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 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 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
The air changed the moment Emma's boots crossed the threshold. Steve felt it first as a prickling along his spine, then as a heaviness that settled in his lungs with each breath. Sweet, cloying, like honeysuckle left to rot in summer heat. He gripped the edge of the table, knuckles whitening as the scent infiltrated his senses, clouding his mind with images he fought to suppress.Around him, the feast hall descended into madness.Marcus, his loyal Beta, the man who had stood by his side through countless battles and bloodshed, fell first. Steve watched in horror as his second-in-command's eyes glazed over, pupils dilating until only a thin ring of color remained. The warrior's movements became jerky, desperate, as he tore at his clothing with trembling hands. A crimson-skinned creature—no, not creature, succubus—with spiraling horns and a forked tail approached him, her hips swaying hypnotically. Marcus didn't resist. His trousers pooled around his ankles as he seized her waist, spinn
