The Alpha King And The Shadow Novels & Stories

a hoarse voice asked, and slowly, he stepped out of the shadows. The lights went on and out of the shadows came armed warriors, wielding swords as they surrounded us. They had obviously masked their scents and that was why I hadn’t been able to detect their presence in the throne room. The rumours had been true about them. They weren’t very welcoming to strangers. “I am Xavier Hale, Alpha King of the Shadow Pack...” “No one asked you to introduce yourself,” the man who had spoken said as he sat on the throne. I see... he was the ruthless Alpha of the Dark Moon Pack that I had heard so many awful things about.

he went straight to the point. Eleanor’s heart lurched. She opened her mouth to ask ‘where’ but he cut her off with his right hand lifted, walking closer with his strange opaque shade of eyes sending icy blisters spreading through her body. They often offset her and made her feel unclothed and helpless. "Words just arrived that the Alpha King to the werewolves would be celebrating his 35th birthday this weekend and his companions desire to surprise him with a human stripper of the best grade, and they have reached out to me." His eyes said it all even before he finished by saying, "I have chosen you to go there."

"You brought your precious Alpha and his army right to my doorstep." "We came to end you," Valen growled, stepping in front of me and drawing his broadsword! His golden Alpha fire erupted outward, lighting up the dark valley like the sun! "End me?" the Shadow King mocked, raising his dark blade toward the blood-red sky. "I am the original dark! You are just mortal flecks of dust!" He thrust his blade into the frozen ground! BOOM! A massive wave of pure dark shadow magic erupted from the earth, shooting across the snow straight toward our army!

Sean trailed off as he noticed the aura around the cloaked figure getting suffocating. "Of course that's what I mean. We can't have Kenderick become the next Alpha; if he does, everything we've worked for all these years will be lost. So, we'll make Collon the Alpha sooner than scheduled," the voice laughed, the eyes under the cloak shining brightly with malice. "But the Alpha is recovering well according to the intel we got," Sean replied, momentarily dampening the other's merry mood. "As long as the Alpha recovers, we won't be able to do anything to him."

“At first? It was simply your powers. Dealing with Sawyer’s quack made me think that there was really no option and that maybe we had more time than we actually might... Then, Cassandra called you a Shadow Walker.” I set my jaw and turned my head so I couldn’t even see him in my peripheral. “Cassandra, huh?” I paused. “So? What’s a Shadow Walker?” Alec told me everything that Cassandra had told him, which wasn’t much, but it was enough to put the pieces together. If the Alpha King had worked so hard to destroy them and then taken one of them as a breeder, then it wasn’t likely that he was going to let me live in peace.

"Before we continue, however, our Alpha and Beta will be coming for the dismissal. There will be no tolerance for any disrespect to our Alpha – so behave." His last comment came out as a snarl, the threat clear in the air that our fates would be much worse if we reacted badly to their Alpha. At the mention of the Alpha arriving, the tension amongst the line increased. I clenched my fist tightly, keeping my eyes trained at the base of the forest floor. The Alpha of the Imperious pack for known and feared across all wolf lands. Alpha Benji – a ruthless, cold-hearted dictator. A man I thought I would only meet in my nightmares.

She started putting on her own clothes. "I promise to see you soon." I squeezed her hand in mine. She came closer to me and kissed my lips softly. Her touch against my body made me want to undress her and go another round but I couldn't, not with the watchful eyes of shadow on us. She turned around and left. "So shall we?" Shadow asked. "Do you mind enlightening me on how you two met?" I asked as we started down the road. "Just like you and me." He smiled. "I am a shadow alpha, a shadow that goes wherever it pleases."

Two glowing crimson eyes burned where a face should be. Jay felt his pocket turn ice-cold. The crystal. The Shadow King. “Step away from him,” Kael ordered, moving between Jay and the shadow. Protective. Possessive. Shit. Alpha bullshit already. This is about to get ugly. “Possessive already?” The Shadow King sounded amused. “You’ve known him for what… twenty minutes? I’ve been watching him for days.” Jay’s old CEO instincts kicked in hard. Two powerful Alphas in one room, both acting like they had a claim on him. He refused to be the prize they fought over.

The next day, a grand ceremony was held in the supernatural capital. Alec stood on the sacred platform, wearing a dark royal robe. Shola stood beside him in a crown of moonlight silver. Delilah stood to the right, with Maxwell beside her. The High Council gathered, and thousands of supernatural citizens filled the courtyard. "By the power granted to us by the gods and the goddess," the Elder declared, "we now crown Alec as the Alpha King of Shadow Claws, protector of the realms." Alec bowed his head as the crown was placed upon him. The people roared in joy. Shola's crown followed, and she smiled proudly, taking Alec's hand.

They obeyed, disappearing into the trees, leaving Killian and Aria standing their ground as the first wave of shadow wolves descended. Killian met them head-on, a blur of claws and fury, while Aria’s power erupted around her in a golden blaze. The fire scorched the ground, turning the nearest wolves to ash. Then the forest fell silent. And from the shadows, he appeared. The Shadow Alpha. He was taller than any wolf Aria had ever seen, his fur black as midnight, his horns curling like twisted crowns. His eyes glowed with a sickly silver light, and when he smiled, it was like the night itself grinned back.
