Alpha Black (darkwood Bloodline) Novels & Stories

"That politics and treachery denied him his position. That his legitimate children, you and Tate, rejected his new family out of bitterness." “I’m sorry, what? So, based on this, our brother Tate would be next in line, then. Just one problem: Alpha Blackwood’s family has been the Alpha line for close to 100 years. What you’re saying isn’t possible. Surely you’ve done pack histories as part of Alpha in training schooling?” Annabella pointed out matter-of-factly.

Blood slowly trickled out from the small cuts. The metallic smell of blood instantly filled the chamber—thick and suffocating. "Repeat after me," one of the Elders commanded, rising to his feet. Father and Alpha Lucas turned to face each other fully, their bleeding fingers still stretched forth. "I, Alexander Blackwood, the Alpha of the Nightshade pack.." ""I, Alexander Blackwood, the Alpha of the Nightshade pack," Father repeated firmly. "Say yours," the Elder said, facing Alpha Lucas. "I, Lucas Knight, the Alpha of the Silverfang pack," Alpha Lucas echoed, his voice slightly strained.

The same power that slept in my blood, dormant now but not dead. "It was Cassian's," I said. "It was his father's before him. It was his grandfather's before that. It has been in the Blackwood family for generations." "It was the first wolf's," Cassian said. "She carried it into battle against the king. She carried it when she bound him in the ice. She carried it when she built this pack, when she carved this territory out of the wilderness, when she bled for the wolves who came after her. And now it is yours. You are the first wolf now. The guardian of the bloodline. The protector of the pack. The alpha of Blackwood. The wolf who will carry us into the future."

"... the Alpha position must return to my bloodline." *

As fake and flashy as he was. My eyes skipped right over it, landing on an overlooked spot in the far corner. It was a dagger carved from obsidian. Its hilt was rough, unadorned, radiating a raw, primal wildness. It belonged to Oliver, the Alpha of the Shadowwood. A cursed Alpha. Legend said his bloodline was tainted by dark magic. Any mate who bonded with him would have their gifts and wolf spirit unconsciously drained, until nothing was left but an empty shell. To choose him was to choose a slower, more painful death.

If it continued like this, letting it leave Dark Forest would mean doom for Blood Dawn and possibly other packs. I closed my eyes, then used the short sword to cut my palm. Holding the fresh blood, I shouted loudly, "I, Alisha Heimann, the Alpha of Black Furies, am willing to sacrifice my soul to forever banish The Lord of Dark into the black flames!" Archie let out a mournful howl, "No!"

"Lily, you shouldn't meddle in these matters. It's dangerous to question the Alpha's past." I swallowed hard, regretting having touched on the subject. Johanna was loyal to the Alpha and was willing to protect his secrets at any cost. I continued preparing the meal in silence, pondering what the secret the Supreme Alpha was hiding from everyone could be. Legend had it that he was the first wolf to emerge in the extreme north and gave rise to other packs, but how did he make it here alone? Did he have no family? Who was that alpha with the same last name as his, "Damon Blackwood," I had never heard of the Blood Moon Pack inhabiting the extreme south. Why had no one ever mentioned this? I thou

"Message came through on the pack emergency line. You need to see this." I took the phone, dread already pooling in my stomach. The message was short. Simple. Terrifying. *Pretty children. Such rare blood. Such unique power. I knew their mother was special but this exceeds expectations. True Alpha bloodlines awakened before age five. Unprecedented. Valuable. I'll be seeing them soon, Alpha Thornwood. Along with their remarkable mother. You can't protect them forever. And when they're mine, I'll finally complete the work the Collector started.*

“You're confused. Killian Blackwood is the Alpha of Alphas, the CEO of the richest corporation in the north.” “Listen to me well, disobedient girl. I do not lie to my own blood,” the old woman intervened. “I was the mother of two pups in the past, two wolves I raised under the old laws of the province. My blood was pure, strong. But my children took paths that ended up tearing my lineage to pieces. The male became the King of the pack, and the female... my beautiful female, fled with her destined mate, a Gamma-ranked wolf, a wretch with no last name.”

moment. Is asking for that too much?" I begged for leniency. "I will now release you. Remember that this is not yet over. I will make sure you are put in your place pretty soon," She said abruptly before leaving. "Yuck! That was pretty close," I sighed. I still find it annoying that she would go with me to a blood moon pack. The torment and torture will also continue for some time to come. I did not feel comfortable inside the garden. I was ready to go. It was not clear to me that Helena had finally left. Perhaps she should return to complete the task she started. When I turned around to go, I unintentionally ran into Alpha Marcus and his guard. He looks to be in good shape. "How is that po
