From Apollo’s Betrayed Bride To Hades’ Queen Novels & Stories

What's funny? ''I don't think you've read the laws guiding this pack. An Alpha can never attack his Beta. Even if he tries, nothing would work and in turn, the Alpha would be stripped off his powers by the moon goddess so Remus knows that he can never try something like that.'' Bret said. Sylvia was quite glad to hear of that. She had never read something like that before and just hearing that gave her immense joy. ''Okay, that's much better.'' she smiled.

Tristan's mind reeled as he gazed at Athena, his thoughts tangled in a web of confusion. One moment, they were fighting; the next, they were...mated? He stumbled backward, his eyes fixed on the shimmering bond between them. Was this what his mother was referring to? The fated mate? The divine one; ordained by the moon goddess? Could the elusive figure he saw just now be the Moon Goddess? Tristan knew he was done for? Fated mate? At this stage of his life?

She didn’t feel afraid. "I never wanted this, Father. But it’s not up to you. This is the will of the Moon Goddess," she replied quietly. The pack watched, torn between loyalty to their Alpha and the undeniable truth of the prophecy. Whispers of confusion rose from the crowd, while others turned to Alyssa. She stood frozen, her fists clenched at her sides, eyes flashing with betrayal and jealousy.

It was a message from Zora. The text read, "Nick, thank you for the apartment. I wouldn't even know where to go tonight if not for you. I'm treating you to dinner tomorrow, and you're not allowed to say no!" Even though I had prepared myself, my heart still throbbed with pain. Three years ago, Zora had suddenly left the Lycus pack to chase her dreams. Nick, who had been her lover back then, was disappointed and heartbroken. Thus, he accepted the alliance marriage between the Lycus and Lunaria packs.

He said before walking out. What the hell is wrong with this dude's brain? What part of I want nothing to do with him doesn't he get. “Why you…!” I held my tongue as my mom, dad and brothers confused and curious faces came into view as the door opened. I will never stop hearing about this for the time I'll be here. I just know it. Someone, anyone, help! My entire family followed the Alpha king towards the living room and everyone began gathering round him. “ As you all have witnessed earlier, Becky Hart is indeed my mate and your future Luna. So I would appreciate it if you all treated her as one." Haunter said, his voice booming with authority.

"How dare you cause trouble at your brother’s wedding? Step down!" But for the first time, Leonardo defied Vincent head-on. "I don't want the position of heir! I just want Madeline! "Madeline, in the previous lifetime, you married me! "We ruled the entire mafia world together. I was the godfather, and you were the rightful godmother! This was supposed to be our ending, but now, everything has gone wrong! "Come back to me, and I will give you the love you deserve!" His words were beyond foolish. The mafia leaders in attendance murmured in disapproval.

“Unless you defy me. If you hide a girl, or attempt to deceive me, or refuse to bring them forward… I will take all I want.” Torchlight sputtered. Some villagers cried out. One man collapsed to his knees. The ground under him blackened in a perfect handprint of scorched earth where his palm met the soil. Apollo straightened lazily, wings unfurling in a gust that sent embers spiralling into the night sky. “Obey,” he said, “and your village will know peace from the horrors your world is too weak to face. Defy…” His claws flexed, slicing through the air. “…and you will meet the same fate as your precious Queen.”

“You saw that strength in her and wanted it for yourself. You didn’t offer her a cage you offered her power. A partnership.” She held his gaze. “Now she’s simply taking you at your word.” Alejandro jumped to his feet, the chair scraping loudly behind him. “She’s my wife,” he snapped. “She belongs here. Not running off to fight old battles.” “You didn’t want a quiet wife,” Marisa shot back. “You wanted a strong one. A woman who knows how to fight her own fights.” She didn’t soften her tone. “Did you really think a contract even a Favino one could control her? It never could. It only held her for a while. And now she’s broken free.”

“She is our queen, and she will not abandon her people.” “She is my mate,” I countered, my voice filled with the authority of an Alpha King. “And she will live with me.” “She is not yours,” the high priestess declared sharply. “Queen Selena is betrothed to the God of Destruction, and they will be married soon.” Her words hit me like a death blow. It felt as though someone had ripped my heart from my chest and smashed it to pieces before my eyes. I turned to my mate, my gaze pleading, full of pain and longing. But the moment she averted her eyes, I had my answer.

"Did you just bump into... do you know who that was?" "No?" My voice came out squeaky. Elena's eyes were huge. "That was Alpha King, Asher Westgate! The Alpha King, Lou. He's never come to our spa before. Ever." Asher Westgate. Everyone knew who he was. The Alpha King of the capital of Acadia. He was the kind of wolf who could destroy your entire life with one word. "Oh God," I whispered. "Did I just... Is he going to..." "You're fine. If he was going to punish you, he would’ve beheaded you on the spot." Elena squeezed my hand. "Come on, let's get to the back before he changes his mind."
