LOGIN"I will take her in exchange," Alpha Dante declared, and the ball room instantly quieted down, and all eyes turned to the said girl. Whispers filled the ballroom, although it was rather useless since everyone could hear them clearly with their heightened senses. Rhea, the object of discussion, stood there in tattered clothes, confused and seemingly lost. She never wanted to draw so much attention to herself, but here she was with everyone's eyes on her because of a single statement from one man. "I am sorry, Alpha Dante, you must be mistaken, that is not my daughter..." Alpha Collins said but was rudely interrupted by Alpha Dante. "She is the one I want,” Alpha Dante said coldly. “Give her to me or forget about our deal.” ***** Born a mix of blood, half vampire, and half werewolf, Rhea was neither considered a werewolf nor a vampire. Just someone who wasn't needed. Someone who shouldn't exist. Someone whose existence was an abomination. Her father's absence in her life and her mother's passing rendered Rhea homeless, nowhere to go, and no one to turn to. She is forced to fend for herself from an early age, serving as a maid in the packhouse despite being hated and scorned by all. Dante, an alpha whose path had always been painted Scarlet, cursed by the moon goddess, walked a lone and bloodied path. He never asked for a mate and never wanted one after all. He was cursed by the very entity their race worships. He never thought he needed one until he met her. For the first time, he felt his heart waver, his silent beast stirred in the presence of another and definitely not out of hostility.

They moved as if chasing out the poison that had invaded the alpha.The dark substance continued seeping from Dante's skin, gathering in a foul-smelling puddle beneath him. The black markings crawled farther across his body, twisting and spreading like living things beneath his skin.Dante's breathing began to settle, his tensed muscles as well the more the liquid was expelled from his body, but the dark marks emitted an ominous aura which drew the attention of everyone nearby.“Beta Reid...” one of the warriors called nervously. “What's going on?”The beta glanced up.Even the creatures had stopped advancing. The abominations stood several yards away, snarling and snapping, yet none of them moved closer. As though something about the wounded alpha now frightened them.“Don't worry, alpha is fine,” Reid said after carefully examining Dante's
At the Crimson Claw packhouse,Scarlett looked into the anxious blue eyes of the girl before her. The sudden flash of iron-willed determination from someone so delicate caught her off guard. She knew no matter how many times she tried to stop her, the girl wouldn't listen."The hospital wing isn't a pleasant place right now, Rhea," Scarlett said softly, her easygoing demeanor fading into something much heavier. “Maybe,” Rhea said softly. The hospital was never a pleasant place to be anyway, she said inwardly. Then, after a pause, she spoke again, “I still want to see them. They got hurt while fighting to protect me.” As she recalled what happened, guilt began gripping at her heart, and she looked down, not daring to look at Scarlett in the eyes anymore.“Don't blame yourself for what happened,” Scarlett said, her voice stern and Rhea immediately looked up briefly meeting Scarlett's eyes but quickly averted her gaze and stared at her ears or the wall behind her instead. “Those thing
At the eastern borders of the Crimson Claw Pack, two cloaked figures stood behind a hoard of monsters. Their cloaks sweep the dead leaves under their feet. Two pairs of bright ember eyes watched the creatures with calculative gazes. “Do you think this would be enough?” One of them asked, his tone thoughtful. “This is the Crimson Claw Pack we are dealing with here.” "After the battle last night, this will do just fine,” the other cloaked figures replied. “They can't have recovered from it already.” “I suppose you are right,” the first cloaked figure agreed. “But we should still keep our guard up. You never know what could happen.” Meanwhile, Dante and his Pack were fast approaching the destination. His gaze was set ahead, not even blinking as if doing that would cost him something. His fists were tightly clenched as his mind drifted back to his conversation with Stella last night. “There's a possibility that she'll have more than one mate. You just happened to find her first
At the Crimson Claw Pack, Stella sat inside the drawing room, her back to the door. Her eyes stared thoughtfully into the distance through the open window. A faint crease settled between her brows. When she heard footsteps approaching and the familiar scent of her Alpha draw near, she turned towards the door, rising to her feet. “She is sleeping,” Dante said before she could even voice her question, already able to read her thoughts.“That's good,” Stella breathed out, relief flooding her. She turned and returned to the couch.“You said something earlier about her fur,” Dante said.Stella paused briefly, and then she smiled and sank into the couch. “I did,” she said, and Dante’s eyes narrowed slightly. “It was snow white. That's rare.”“You didn't sound like it was just rare,” he pointed out, and she nodded. “Then…?”“Have you seen a white wolf anywhere in your many travels?” she asked, but his frown only deepened as he shook his head. Stella's smile was warm as she said, “that's be
The more he looked at her, the more his patience was being tested, but at least she responded to him, however faint her responses were. But one thing truly grated against his nerves, and that was her reaction to Alpha Collins’ son. It was as if his presence was a blade hanging over her neck.Shoul
Rhea didn't know why, but when he picked her up, she did not resist. Maybe it was due to instincts, not wanting to be beaten for disobeying. Or perhaps it was because he was kind enough to notice her wounds and had shown concern for. Right now, they moved through the snow, his long legs made the d
A few minutes earlier, a convoy of cars rolled to a stop in front of the manor that served as the Packhouse of the Winter Pack. “We've arrived, Alpha,” the man who opened the door announced. He received a hum and stepped aside, but there was still no movement inside. Instead, they felt the alph
Lively chatter echoed through the ballroom, and mild music in the background kept the mood. Time was slowly reaching the awaited hour. Excitement and expectation could be heard and seen in the eyes of every unmated shifter present, old and young alike. At the forefront of it all was Alpha Colli
