Chapter 8

Author: Crystal K
Arthur’s golden eyes were like burning suns, dangerous and blazing hot.

He slowly pulled his hand back, leaving a warm smear of blood on my fingertips.

"We're going home," he rasped, his voice rough as sandpaper. "Now."

I nodded, completely intoxicated by the scent of bloody cedar. Ethan was still yelling something in the background, but neither of us cared.

Three days later, the official Mating Ceremony for the Blackwood and Crescent Moon packs was held under the full moon.

On the ancient ceremonial platform, I stood in a silver-white bonding gown, waiting for my Alpha.

Arthur emerged from the darkness, every step radiating a king's authority.

His hand had healed, but a scar remained.

My mark on him.

"Are you ready?" the Elder asked me.

"I am."

The ceremony went smoothly.

When Arthur's teeth gently bit into my neck, leaving the eternal mating mark, both wolves inside me let out a satisfied purr.

“It is done, ” Nyx's voice was calmer than I'd ever heard it. “We are safe.”

  • Three Alphas One Fatal Choice   Chapter 9

    In the joint tribunal hall of the Crescent Moon and Blackwood packs, Ethan and Clara were thrown to the floor. The once-mighty Alpha Magnus, deposed for betraying the four packs, knelt beside them. Arthur and I sat on the high throne, looking down on them.I advanced on Clara, each step a promise of death."Tell me, Clara. Your first big success, the 'Sweet Dream' formula. Who gave it to you?"Her body began to tremble."It... it was you...""Who taught you the basics of crafting?""You...""Who protected you when the other Omegas shunned you?""It was you..."My hand shot toward her throat."And you dare use the very skills I taught you to try and kill me? You dare betray me?"Clara trembled, crawling towards me. "Luna Samara, I was wrong, I'll never do it again, I beg you..."I looked down at her, toying with a small perfume bottle. "Clara, didn't you always want a unique scent?" I smiled, sprinkling the liquid from the bottle onto her. "I'll grant your wish."Instantly, an indesc

    It was the opening night of the perfumery exhibit we had sponsored at the city's most prestigious gallery.I was poured into a gown of midnight-blue silk, and Arthur was a dark god beside me in a tailored black suit. His hand never left the small of my back—a silent, possessive claim for all to see."Relax," he whispered in my ear. "Tonight is all about you."The gallery was filled with fragrance. The twelve perfumes I had painstakingly created were on display. Each one told a different story, a different emotion."Samara!" A familiar voice.I turned to see Ethan and Clara approaching. Ethan wore an expensive custom suit. Clara clung to his arm, but her face held a poorly hidden mix of jealousy and anxiety. Because every piece on display tonight had reached a level of artistry she couldn't even hope to imitate. Especially the main feature, 'Nyx's Breath.' Its complex layers and soul-stirring scent made all her own creations look like cheap knock-offs."I'm surprised to see you her

    The banquet was still going, but I needed to be alone. I walked out onto the manor’s back terrace, where moonlight spilled like water over the stone railing. Everything that had happened tonight had my head spinning.Footsteps behind me. Heavy, hurried, filled with desperate anger."Samara!" His voice was a raw, broken thing.I didn't turn. "What is it?""How could you?" He cornered me against the railing, his eyes wild and bloodshot. "I am your destiny! The Goddess chose me! You threw it all away for him?"I didn't even look at him. I just stared out at the moon. He was still painfully handsome, a fallen prince in the silver light. But all I could see was the madness twisting his features."Destiny?" I finally met his gaze, my voice flat. "Are you done playing games with the bond, Ethan?"His face went pale. "I don't know what you're talking about.""Are you done with your little act, Ethan?" I advanced on him, my voice dangerously soft. "The bond. You feel it, don't you? You fli

    My gaze swept over the sea of faces, finally landing on the shadow in the corner. I raised my chin."I choose Alpha Arthur of the Blackwood Pack!"My voice rang out like a bell, clear and unwavering, shattering the silence of the hall.Everyone froze, as if they couldn't believe their ears. Magnus shot to his feet, his face turning beet red."Impossible! You're insane!"The other Alphas exchanged shocked glances, and murmurs erupted through the crowd."The Blackwood? The cursed pack?""How could she choose a man who won't live past twenty-five?""Is the Crescent Moon Pack trying to destroy itself?"I ignored the chaos and repeated my choice. "I, in my name as the Crescent Moon heir, officially declare—I choose Arthur."Then, I walked towards him. Step by step, unwavering.Arthur sat there, a mountain of silent shadow and muscle. His towering frame swallowed the candlelight, shrouding his corner of the hall in darkness. His golden eyes were locked on me, his expression unreadable.I

    After the attack, the manor was in chaos. My father's face was as dark as a storm cloud."Get Ethan in here!" he roared at the guards. "Now!"Ten minutes later, Ethan was dragged into the conference room. There wasn't a trace of guilt on his face, only his usual, entitled arrogance."You abandoned my daughter during an attack," my father's voice was sharp as a blade of ice. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you where you stand."Ethan scoffed. "Abandon her? I was following standard emergency protocol. Protecting the weaker Omega.""Omega?" I sneered. "Clara was more important than me?""Of course," he said, not even trying to hide it. "She's an innocent civilian. You have a wolf to protect you. I made the most logical choice."The air in the room froze. My father's Alpha power crashed down, forcing the Betas in the room to their knees. Only Ethan remained standing, but sweat was already beading on his forehead."The most logical choice?" my father repeated, his voice dan
