Bloodlines Books Novels & Stories

“My only job today is to make sure you don’t give birth. The Falcone heir can’t be a bastard.” "He's not a bastard!" I used my last ounce of strength to protect my stomach. "I told you, he's Darren's child..." I felt a warm gush of liquid between my legs. It was blood. A lot of blood. "Stop... please, stop..." She paid no attention, continuing to kick and punch me. "The Falcone bloodline will not be tainted!" Despair washed over me. I knew my baby wasn't going to make it. I lost consciousness completely.

At night, she hears whispers in the water. On the third night, Evelyn sees a flickering light drifting down the river. She follows it—drawn by something she doesn’t understand—and finds a wooden boat with a burning lantern and an old journal inside. The pages are filled with entries from a woman named Alara who speaks of binding spells, river spirits, and a curse upon her bloodline. The last page is stained and unreadable

It was an abandoned place now, thick with dust and silence, but the Priestess once mentioned that the truth of this kingdom lies where most fear to look—in forgotten ink. I moved quietly through the vast hallways lined with ancient tomes, their spines cracked, their secrets sealed for centuries. My fingers brushed over leather covers, brittle scrolls, and weathered stone shelves. I didn’t even know what I was looking for—until I saw it. A half-torn book, its cover scorched and faded. Title etched in blood-colored ink: “The Cursed Bloodline: History of the Black Lycan.” My heart skipped. I pulled it out with trembling hands, sitting cross-legged on the floor between the shelves. The pages ins

“Or maybe they did and wanted to keep it hidden. If this bloodline is as powerful as the book suggests, then revealing it could change everything. It could threaten the balance of power in the pack—or even beyond.” My mind raced as I tried to process everything. Could it be true? Could I really be descended from an Alpha line that was strong enough to shake the foundations of the pack? “Is there anything in the book that proves it?” I asked, my voice firm. “Anything that ties me directly to this lineage?” Lysa hesitated, then reached out and turned to a page near the back of the book. “Here,” she said, pointing to a symbol that looked like a crescent moon intertwined with a wolf’s head.

I have learned to wait. After a while she says: ‘My father has old books. Pack histories. From before the Ashcroft lines were redrawn. She pauses. There are mentions in some of them of silver-eyed wolves. A specific bloodline. Healers. Wolves who could draw sickness from other wolves’ bodies. Who didn’t burn in moonlight. She hesitates. The books said the bloodline died out two generations ago.’ The water moves. The light is very silver this morning. Lyra.’ Her voice is careful. ‘Your grandmother on your mother’s side. Do you know anything about her?

"You took another female to the dirt? At my sister’s wedding? On sacred ground?" "I did," he replied, his voice dropping an octave, the wolf beneath his skin finally stirring with a hint of shame. "The moon was high, the whiskey was spiked with wolfsbane, and I didn't use a suppressor. She’s carrying a pureblood heir. The test confirms the Graves lineage is dominant." "You told me we had years!" Serena’s vision blurred with hot, angry tears. "You said you wanted me all to yourself! That we didn't need to provide an heir for the council yet!"

The evenings belonged to my mother's journals. After helping Mel close the bakery, I would curl up near the small fireplace upstairs with a blanket and whatever journal I was currently working through. The more I read, the more questions I found. Tonight was no different. I carefully turned another yellowed page. The handwriting immediately caught my attention. Blood magic appears to manifest differently depending upon the bloodline carrying it. I sat up slightly. That was new. My eyes moved quickly across the page. Most historical records describe manipulation. Control. Extraction.

“This is a bloodline record. It contains the complete history of your lineage, the powers they wielded, the reasons they were deemed too dangerous to survive.” “Can you read it?” Rowan asked. “Not me,” Maren said. “Only someone with the blood can access the full knowledge. Anyone else would see only fragments.” Elara opened the book. The pages were blank. Then, as she watched, text began to appear. Writing itself in real time, responding to her presence, her questions, her need. *The Bloodline of the First Flame,* the text read. *Born from the union of human will and wolf instinct, forged in fire that predates pack formation, designed to bridge worlds that were never meant to touch.*

"You'll see. You will realize that you are now mine. I will be the owner of your child. And you—well, you'll either voluntarily serve me or die. The world around me appeared to fall apart as she spoke. The air became darker and colder. I sensed that her power was increasing while mine was rapidly diminishing. There was no escape. Not in this manner. But then a notion came to me through the fog of my panic. The rogue had mentioned something about an old bloodline and my abilities. Is this the case? Was this what I had been looking forward to? I summoned something I didn't entirely grasp by reaching deep within myself with the last of my remaining strength. That ancient force was boiling to th

“He’s built his entire plan around the version of Declan Callahan who inherited a war and the version of Seraphina Conti who married into one for convenience. He hasn’t accounted for what happens when those two people actually start fighting on the same side.” Behind him, the first real light of morning spilled through the study windows, gilding the edges of the map, the pins, the careful, furious calculations of a man determined to win a war he hadn’t started. I thought of my father somewhere in the dark, of Nico Ferretti’s name already crossed out before we’d even had the chance to find him, of the photograph still folded in my pocket like a wound I couldn’t stop touching. “Then let’s give
