Christopher Paolini (inheritance Cycle Series) Novels & Stories

Toward me. A woman born alpha. A former slave. A she-wolf who defied every rule they had relied on for decades. Lyra shifted in my arms as if sensing the change. “Congratulations,” Elder Helena finally said, voice stiff. “You have finally given this pack the heir that it needed. It is a girl, but then again, you are a woman yourself, and are an Alpha born.” “Thank you.” I said, forcing myself to hold the cold stare that she was having. Even Dominic noticed my annoyance. “She is healthy and well. And I am more than just thankful for it.”

She is quite smart since she has already guessed everything. “It now makes sense.” A cold voice sounded at the other corner of the living room. The person who was talking was Pete. He was sitting at a corner that I had not even realized that he was around. I haven’t seen him in a long time and I could tell that he has changed a lot. “Dad, you are not a West and even if you are grandma’s son, you cannot be the alpha because you don’t have the West blood in you. You have been lied to.” He spoke. He was calm and composed as if nothing in this world was worth his attention.

"Yes, I can say that,' Alexandro said. “I won’t join your manhunt, if that’s what you’re asking. But I will tell you this—there are others out there. Beyond my kingdom. Beyond yours. Not all creatures respect our war or our women.” Alexandro’s eyes narrowed. “You know something.” “I know rumors. I’ve heard whispers of a new power rising from the east. A rogue named Maeron. Not a wolf. Not quite human. Something... older. I thought he was a myth.” “Why would a myth take my mate?” Valerian’s expression darkened. “You’ll have to find that answer yourself.” Alexandro’s jaw tightened. He didn’t trust Valerian. He never would. But what he said sounded real.

“I’m more grateful that you’re alive, Christopher. You don’t know how much life span this has added to my existence.” Christopher smiles. “On a positive note, you became the world’s hero—the one who exposed Project Empire.” “Well, I couldn’t have done it without Cross. You remember Cross and Chelsea?” “I do.” “You may not know this, but Chelsea was the Yesli Toorsman whose story went live years ago. And Cross was Zeath’s missing brother, Zachili.” Christopher huffs. “Wow.” Then his tone changes as he slowly nods. “It’s sad they’re both gone.”

Alpha Nicholas "All final checks have been done and everything is set and in place for tonight." My brother, Shane announces as he walks into my office with Will right behind him. Not only is Shane my brother, but he's also my Beta while Will is also my brother and Gamma. It's a right family affair. Our youngest brother, Robbie has been offered a title more than once, both Shane and Will are more than happy to share their roles with him and with him having Alpha blood in him he's more than capable of fulfilling both roles but he doesn't want it, never has.

As I think back over the last few years, I remember times when I have some sort of sense that helps me navigate what people are like and how to judge them, also with my tracking ability, I always found it a lot easier to navigate things linked with nature more than Ollie or Brent ever did. “Yes, I suppose so …” I mumble in awe. Before, I always thought the magic side of the family was phased out after a few generations. “From my understanding, Zander Blackwood is a pure Alpha wolf. His parents and grandparents’ parents before him have always been from Alpha families, making your daughter one of the strongest females in the world.”

I feel Flame watching me and then howls in the distance have us all looking around. "I, Alpha Abaddon Harden, relinquish my title of Alpha and leadership of the Moorland Pack, to my son Cain." My father's voice rushes into my ears and I can feel him getting closer. "Cain, do you agree to protect and lead the pack with strength, loyalty and honour. Just say yes." "Yes." I reply feeling a rush of energy and strength fill me.

His eyes were fixed on his assassin Alpha and his beta, he knew that it would be his part to become Alpha considering that Knox had no heir or family. “Who?” “The Lycan, his name is Alpha Alaric, and you can check for proof that I wouldn’t do it.” Alessandro said. His eyes were fixed on the assassins that cornered the grounds, and I took a deep breath, knowing that things were going to be exhausting on Aurora if she held onto the barrier for a long while. “We are in a war against the hunters…” “We always have been.” He said, stopping Alessandro. “Only this time we have the Lycan and one of the rogue packs. Lucius.” I said, looking at Ryker who frowned.

Not for decades. I nodded. “He’s your dad’s eldest brother, from a different mother. An illegitimate son desperate to prove himself worthy of being an Alpha—or stealing the power outright.” This wasn’t a story. It was cold, hard fact. Christopher Gale was the kind of man who exploited weaknesses, and Jacob Wensiker—Claire’s father—had one. After years without children, Jacob finally had Claire. She was the chink in his armor, and Christopher struck without mercy. He brought the greatest Alpha of his time crashing down, taking his legacy with him.
