The Vampire's deathmarked lycan ย ย ย Chapter one: Double forest
Alina Pov: The moon filtered through the trees, casting a pale glow over the treetops. Crouching on a thick branch, I peered down at the pack guards below, my chest pounding as they followed the false trail I had left earlier. They were close, their heavy boots crunching against the fallen leaves.I grinned. Idiots.All they had to do was look up, and they'd find me. But instead, they drifted farther from their target. Fooling them had been easy, I had masked my scent, leaving them no way to sniff me out. Even if they tried, they would never find me.I stifled a laugh at the frustration on Zack's face. He had been so sure he would catch me before the third day, but here we were, already nearing the end of the second. Just a few more hours, and I would have my freedom. As the guards disappeared into the distance, my mind drifted back to my last conversation with my father-the Lycan King. ****"Why? Why do you forbid me from leaving the pack?" I demanded.My father sat behind his desk

**Alina's POV**Blood splattered across the ground as the vampire's lifeless body crumpled, his severed head slipping from my grasp. The metallic scent clung to the air, thick and suffocating. I barely had time to breathe before another lunged at me, claws slashing through the night. I sidestepped, raking my own claws across his throat. A gurgled hiss escaped him as black blood oozed down his chest.A shift in the wind warned me of another attack. Instinct kicked in. I spun, catching the vampireโs wrist mid-strike. A wicked smile curled my lips as I yanked, his arm ripping clean from the socket. He didnโt even get the chance to scream before my fangs sank into his throat, tearing it open in one vicious bite.Adrenaline surged through me, igniting something primal and raw. This was nothing like training with my father, my brother, or the pack warriors. This was real. This was intoxicating.Another vampire lunged. I twisted, dodging his claws, and caught his hand before he could retract

Alina pov: I stared at my reflection in the mirror, my heart pounding in my chest. Earlier today, I woke up to find myself back in my packโs forest, lying on a tree branch. Every wound I had sustained was goneโcompletely healed, without even a scar. That was impossible. I should still be healing, or at the very least, have some marks left behind. The only evidence that last night even happened was my torn clothes, still stained with blood and dirtThat, and the mark.I had been mated. Marked by a vampire.The realization sent a cold shudder through me. I had washed up in a nearby lake and changed into the spare clothes I always kept hidden in the forestโjust in case I shifted and needed a fresh set. Then, I had made my way back to the pack house, trying to push away the growing dread curling in my stomach.My father wasnโt happy that I won, but he gave me his wordโI had my freedom.I should have felt victorious. I should have felt smug at the frustrated look on Zackโs face. Instead,

Alina's POVShe led me to where the wolves were gathered before bidding me goodbye. I stood there, staring at themโten in total. My father had arranged this so I wouldnโt be lonely, but honestly, it was pathetic. Either way, this would be my last day with them, so I might as well enjoy it. We headed into the forest, a particular one I loved. At its heart lay a maze-like layout, making it perfect for the game I had in mind. I glanced at Kieran. At just nineteen, he was already towering over me. โLast day, huh?โ Kieran murmured, his gaze lingering on a particular girl in the group. His voice was barely above a whisper. โFinally free to explore,โ I replied with a light chuckle. โI know you all had better things to do, but thanks for keeping me company all these years.โ โDonโt go getting sentimental on me,โ he said, narrowing his eyes before taking a deep breath and shutting them. โEven if you only joined because of a certain someone,โ I teased, calling the rest of the group over.

Alina Pov:Vampires infiltrating the pack and attacking our members wasnโt a minor issueโespecially not the day before Nicola was set to take over. It was already being seen as a bad omen. So tell me why, in the middle of all this chaos, Jeremy couldnโt wipe that stupid grin off his face.โIโve always thought those leeches needed a clean-up,โ he said with a smirk. โThis just gives us a solid reason to act.โMother shot him a look, arms crossedโThis isnโt something to be excited about, Jeremy. People were hurt.โ I added, remembering how badly wounded the wolves were or my fate in the double forest Jeremyโs expression shifted, just slightly. โI know. But we need to act fast. First, we need to figure out how they got past the barrier and into the pack without Father being alerted. If they got in once, they can do it again. And we canโt assume those were the only ones.โFatherโs brow furrowed. โYouโre suggesting thereโs a traitor.โโIโm saying itโs a possibility,โ Jeremy replied. โSomeo

Alina pov: I sighed in relief as I slipped into the forest, unseen by the pack guards or a wandering wolf. If my father found out, explaining would be a hassle. I could say I was going for a run, but I was heading for the pack borders, it would be difficult to explain The cold wind bit through my coat, and I instinctively pulled it tighter. Memories of that night flooded back, the horde of vampires, the fight that happened. But now, I carefully looked around, there was no trace. No pile of corpses , no black blood staining the ground. it was completely gone, erased just like my injures, It was as if it had never happened. If not for the mate mark burning on my neck, I might have doubted it myself., I masked my scent before coming here. Not that it matteredโthere were no vampires in sight. I followed the path where the car had stopped, where those green eyes nearly tore into me. The car was gone, but the fallen tree remained. I searched, but there was no sign of the green-eye

Alina pov: I watched as the green-eyed vampire pulled his claws away from me, and I retracted mine, turning to face my mate."You owe me answers," I said, narrowing my eyes at himHe inclined his head slightly in acknowledgment, so I continued."What is this place?" The question has been on my mind since the first time I stumbled upon this forest . A place crawling with vampires, this close to the pack borders? I could have asked my father, but explaining how I came across it would raise too many questions. surrounding how I came across it, besides I doubt he would sit still knowing vampires were lurking just outside the borders of the pack, father has no idea, so this is my best short getting my desired answer "A wasteland" he said "centuries of war turned it to ruin, too much death and blood, the warewolves abandoned it long ago, labelling it as a cursed ground and no one should trend on it" A wasteland, no wonder no warewolf patrolled this area, but why haven't I heard of it, I

Alina I watched Jeremy from across the hall, my eyes suddenly wet with tears. All his life, he had trained for this momentโto stand as the Lycan King. Now, there he was, on the podium, neatly dressed beside Father and the pack elders. The sight should have filled me with pride, but instead, a knot of sorrow and regret twisted inside me.After returning to the pack house, all I wanted was to burst into Fatherโs and Jeremyโs rooms and spill everything Iโd heard, explanations and consequences be damnedโbut it was too late in the night. I had to wait until dawn to drag Mom, Dad, and Jeremy into Fatherโs office..When I told them everything, shock etched every face. We kept the discussion away from the pack elders; we couldnโt risk alerting anyone. We didnโt know who might be the insider and working with the witches, so we couldn't risk anyone finding out we knew, The council should have had an idea of what the Black Witches were planning, yet no action had been taken. That made me suspec

The Vampire's deathmarked lycan ย ย ย Chapter Twenty Four: Sparring
Alina Pov:I made it downstairs with Valerian in one piece, after our bath and a quick stop by my room to grab a change of clothes. Before making our way toward the group, I silently wished the ground would open up and swallow me wholeโafter he caught me staring at him, and now my face was as red as a tomato.'Really, thank you for trying to give this a chance," Kaia giggled inside my head, and I couldn't help but wonder what had happened to my Lycan. "Being my mate, fate or not, is enough to make me want you. Tell me you didnโt swoon when you heard it," she added, her voice teasing. The fuck?"No, I didnโt," I gritted out 'And why was he so sure I'd fall in love with him? I can't...I couldn't.""I donโt think you understand the meaning of giving this a chance. It means being true and open to love," Kaia chimed in. โWhatever,โ I muttered. The sooner I got out of here, the sooner Iโd be away from him. He was walking silently behind me, his presence impossible for me to ignore. I stil
The Vampire's deathmarked lycan ย ย ย Twenty Three: Start
Valerian Pov: Strands of her hair floated in the breeze. She stood there, doing nothing, and yetโI couldnโt take my eyes off her. I donโt think Iโll ever get tired of watching her. I moved closer, resting my hands on the railings beside her. That warmth againโjust being near her made everything inside me feel less cold. I followed her gaze to what held her attention. โCreys and Ryan are sparring,โ I whispered. โOh,โ she said, her lips forming the word softly. An awkward silence settled between us. One I so wanted to rip apart with my bare hands. Being here with her should feel easy, and not uncomfortable or awkward. I wanted her to feel comfortable when she was around me. I wanted her to need me. Without thinking, my fingers found a lock of her hair again. Iโve been doing that a lot lately. She stilled, her eyes shifting from me to my fingers. She looked like she was ready to pull away. โDo you hate me?โ The question slipped out before I could stop it. I never cared about who ha
The Vampire's deathmarked lycan ย ย ย Twenty Two: Morning
Valerian Pov:I Somehow, during the night, she'd ended up sprawled on top of me, her body soft and warm, tucked perfectly into mine. One of my arms had wound around her waist in sleepโor maybe not by accidentโand now she lay there, her cheek resting on my chest like she belonged thereI lost track of time watching her, and now it's almost done, but I didnโt sleep. Couldnโt. Not when she was this close, breathing softly, lashes fanned against her cheeks. I spent the hours memorizing every angle of her face, the way her brows pinched slightly like she was dreaming something bothersome, the subtle pout of her lips. Sheโd probably frown at me, if she knew I spent the whole night watching her.Her lashes fluttered. She stirred.Her lips parted in a soft yawn as her eyes cracked open, blinking blearily against my bare chest. I watched the exact second her mind caught up with her bodyโwhen the realization dawned that she was lying on me.But thenโฆ she shocked me Instead of scrambling off, s
The Vampire's deathmarked lycan ย ย ย Chapter Twenty one: Findings
Valerian Pov:She was curled toward me now.Despite her stubborn insistence hours agoโmaking a dramatic show of claiming the farthest corner of the bed, spine stiff, arms folded like a fortressโsheโd turned in her sleep. At some point during the night, her body had betrayed her resolve. Her knees nearly brushed mine beneath the sheets, her breath warm against my chest.I wasnโt sure when my fingers had found her hair.But they hadโabsentmindedly winding a lock around my knuckle, again and again. It was soft. Softer than Iโd imaginedโthough Iโd never admit to imagining it at all.I felt at peace watching her. I didnโt know when that started, but here I was, fingers gently twirling a strand like it was the most natural thing in the world.A frown crept across my face. My gaze drifted to the door, fingers still tangled in her hair. I withdrew them slowly, as if the strands might protest. Something flickered in my expressionโthere and goneโbefore I sat up.Quietly, I slipped out of bed, r
The Vampire's deathmarked lycan ย ย ย Chapter Twenty: Mate awareness
Valerian Pov: I triedโgods, I triedโto hold back my laughter as my little mate glared at me like Iโd just insulted her bloodline. She shoved at my chest, trying to push me across the threshold of her room like I was some stray mutt that had wandered in.โItโs not funny,โ she snapped.It absolutely was. Especially the way she huffed, cheeks flushed, lips still slightly swollen from our kiss. A kiss I hadnโt been able to stop thinking about since it happened.I let the laugh slip out anyway. โYouโre adorable when youโre mad.โ she froze when she heard it, but I don't regret saying it, it was the first thought that came to mind as I stared at her across the door frame. The imprint of her still burned on my lips, her scent tangled in my clothes. I could still feel the way her body molded against mine like she was made to fit there.I wanted more.God, I wanted all of her. Her touch, her voice, her tasteโI wanted to drink her in like she was the only thing keeping me alive.I could still

Alina pov:I slammed the door shut behind me and leaned against it, breathing hard.My heart was racing. My hands wouldnโt stop shaking.I slid down to the floor, pulling my knees to my chest, trying to ground myself. But the second I closed my eyes, it was him againโhis hands, his mouth on mine, the way I wanted him so badly it scared me.My chest tightened. I sucked in a breath.It didnโt help.Another breath.Still no relief.I was supposed to close my eyes in these situations, taking one breath after the other and calm my nerves, but I could not do thatmy breathing surfaced faster, my heart pounding so viciously, my eyes stung, maybe it was all a dream, yes, a nightmare that felt more real than the others that was all But then I could still taste him on my tongue and his scent was deeply mixed with mine My throat was constricted, like I was choking on air.

Alina By the time I got back, my arms were burning, my feet felt like theyโd been beaten with hammers, and I was convinced shopping was a beautifully-wrapped form of psychological warfareโglittery bags, overpriced shoes, and crowds that moved like a tidal wave. And yet, somehowโฆ it was amazing. Iโd never seen that many people in one place, all buzzing with energy as they swarmed from one shop to another like it was their lifeโs mission.When Creys had first suggested it, Iโd imagined a dozen possible scenarios. None of them matched reality. It had been louder, crazier, more dazzlingโand yes, exhausting. But not the kind that made you regret it. This was the kind that settled into your bones like a reminder: youโre alive. Next time, Iโd just have to be more prepared. Because there would definitely be a next time. After dumping the bags in my room, I dragged my aching body down the stairs, heading straight for the kitchen. My throat was dry, my lips chappedโI needed water like I neede

Alinaโs POV:The kitchen was surprisingly normal. Wooden counters, a large iron stove, and herbs hanging from the windows like this was someoneโs grandmaโs house. Not what I expected from a vampire estate.Xavierโthe guy Ryan introduced, slim build, perpetual I-donโt-care expressionโwas already there, perched on the counterโs edge with a bowl in hand, lazily chewing what looked like cerealโLook who finally crawled out of her hole,โ he said lazily, โThought you mightโve fainted after your little performance earlier.โ He was referring to the scene I made when I got hereโ stomping my leg against the wall like a tantruming child, after what happened with Valerian at the cafe, only to turn and find five vampires watching me like Iโd lost my mind. Iโd muttered a string of curses and bolted upstairs. too upset to feel embarrassed. Dignity?
