THE ALPHA’S GHOST - undefined novels & stories
Kemzie
Six years ago, Kaye Muani lost everything when fire consumed her pack and painted her father as a monster. Now she is a ghost, running from a world that wants her dead for crimes she did not commit. She has survived by staying invisible, never shifting, never connecting, never hoping for anything more than another day of freedom. Until Blackwater enforcers drag her across state lines and throw her at the feet of Ethan Rivers, the Alpha who has spent six years building an empire on rage and revenge. He should kill her. She is the daughter of the man he believes murdered his family. But when the mate bond snaps into place between them, everything changes. Ethan refuses to claim her and refuses to let her go. Instead, he makes her a prisoner in his packhouse, a servant watched by wolves who hate her, a constant reminder of everything he lost. The bond grows stronger every day, pulling them together even as betrayal and secrets threaten to tear them apart. But the fires that destroyed their packs six years ago were not what anyone believed. The truth is darker, more twisted, and hiding inside the very walls of the Blackwater Pack. Wolves are disappearing. Bodies are turning up with liquefied organs. And someone Ethan trusts is working for a monster who has been experimenting on wolves for decades, turning them into weapons. When the memorial ceremony becomes a bloodbath and every lie is exposed, Kaye and Ethan must choose between the hatred that has defined them or the bond that could save them. But the enemy is always three steps ahead, and the cost of survival might be more than either of them can pay.

Soulbound: Chosen by Darkness In a city that devours the vulnerable, Tharien has learned one rule: distance is the only way to protect what he loves. Dangerous by nature and hunted by forces that fear the power of connection, he walks away from the one person who anchors him—Nori—believing his absence will keep her safe. But their bond is not something that can be outrun. A rare and forbidden soulbond ties them together, threading their hearts, their pain, and their survival into one. When Tharien disappears, the bond fractures, leaving Nori hollowed by longing and hunted by shadows that feed on separation. The farther he goes, the darker the world becomes—because something ancient has awakened in the space between them. As secret watchers circle and those who sever bonds hunt in the name of “mercy,” Tharien is forced to confront the lie he’s lived by. His distance is not protection. It is a wound. And the darkness that stalks their world grows stronger with every step he takes away from her. To save Nori, Tharien must return to the one place he swore he’d never stand again—at her side. Because in a world that calls separation mercy, choosing each other is rebellion. And loving her may be the only thing that keeps the darkness from devouring them both.
