Doomed desires with my alpha stepfather
When Elara’s father is brought back to the pack lifeless, cold, defeated, her world shatters.
She expects grief. Silence. Mourning.
She doesn’t expect him.
Ryder Thorne.
The new Alpha doesn’t just rule, he owns everything in his path. Ruthless. Untouchable. Worshipped. Feared.
And now… he’s her mother’s husband.
To the pack, he is her guardian. Her protector. The man meant to keep her safe in a world ruled by blood and dominance.
But behind closed doors, nothing about him feels safe.
His gaze lingers too long.
His voice drops too low.
And every touch burns like something forbidden.
One moment of weakness is all it takes.
One brush of his hand shatters her control.
One whisper pulls her closer to a line she can never uncross.
He is her stepfather.
He is her Alpha.
He is her ruin.
“Tell me to stop, little bird,” he murmurs against her skin, voice thick with promise.
“And I will.”
But they both know the truth.
She won’t.
Because some desires aren’t meant to be resisted.
And some flames are worth the destruction.

Chapter: Fatherly dutiesElara POVIt’s a new day.I step out of my room, closing the door quietly behind me as I adjust the strap of my bag on my shoulder. The hallway feels the same, looks the same… but something about it doesn’t sit right anymore.Maybe it’s me.Maybe it’s the fact that nothing in this house feels like just mine anymore.The only good thing about today is that I don’t have a full schedule. Just an afternoon class. No rush, no pressure. I should feel relaxed.I don’t.Since returning from the fortress, I’ve barely left my room. Just small, necessary movements. To the kitchen. Back to my room. Over and over again.Avoiding.That’s what it is.Avoiding them.Because every time I pass by my mother’s door, there’s always something.A laugh.A soft murmur.The kind of quiet intimacy that reminds me they are… together.How do I feel about it?Good.At least, that’s what I keep telling myself.I take a breath and walk toward the living room, already expecting it to be empty at this hour. My plan w

Chapter: The man she wasn't supposed to wantElara POVThe rest of the school day passed… but I couldn’t tell you how.I was there.Sitting in class. Facing the board. Turning pages when everyone else did. Nodding at the right moments. Writing notes that made no sense when I looked at them twice.But none of it stayed.Voices came and went around me like distant noise, like I was underwater and everything above the surface was muffled. The lecturer spoke. Students answered. Someone laughed at something that was probably funny.I didn’t hear any of it properly.My mind kept circling back to one thing.One name.Ryder Thorne.It repeated itself over and over again, louder than anything in the room.I stared at the page in front of me, the ink slightly smudged where my hand had rested too long. I had written the same word three times without noticing.Ryder.I blinked hard and forced my pen to move again.Focus.You need to focus.But how was I supposed to focus when the man I had spent years trying to forget was about to walk into

Chapter: My man, her man. Elara POVI blinked once.Twice.Three times.Snap out of it, Elara. You heard wrong.There was no way, no possible way....my mother just said Ryder Thorne.I forced a small breath into my lungs, steadying my hand before it betrayed me completely. Maybe I misheard. Maybe it was someone else with the same name. It had to be.It couldn’t be him.My mother’s gaze sharpened almost immediately. She leaned forward slightly, studying my face with quiet concern.“Darling… are you alright?” she asked.I swallowed quickly, straightening in my seat. “Y-yeah… yes, Mom,” I said, the words stumbling out before I could smooth them.I picked up my fork again, pretending nothing had happened, pretending my chest wasn’t tightening with every second that passed.“So,” she continued, unaware of the storm rising inside me, “as I was saying… you’ll see him tomorrow after school. He should already be home before you return. He’s a very busy man, you know.” She smiled faintly, almost fo

Chapter: The day that was supposed to be normalElara POV It’s another morning in the Silvercrest Pack. I stand by my window, yawning widely. I’m tired, deeply tired, so tired that sleep doesn’t seem to help. I should go back to bed, pull the covers over my head, and pretend the day can wait. But it can’t. And even if it could, I wouldn’t let it. I have things to do today. Well, calling them “things” might be a stretch. It’s just my usual routine. The same schedule, the same expectations, the same controlled version of living I’ve mastered over the past year. The estate is quiet this early, wrapped in a calm that feels heavier than it should. Silence now settles into these walls, as if it belongs here. I rub my eyes and yawn again before pushing myself away from the window. There’s no point in standing here any longer. The longer I linger, the easier it is to start thinking, and overthinking is the last thing I need this morning. I head to the bathroom and turn on the shower, letting the water heat while I lean against th

The Royal Mate Of The Cursed Lycan King
All her life, Aria Hale has been the unwanted wolf of the Bloodfang Pack—mocked, trampled, and finally rejected by her mate, Alpha Darius Blackwood. Cast aside and humiliated, she believed her destiny was nothing but pain. Until she crossed paths with him… the feared and cursed ruler of all Lycans, King Raiden Nightbane. Arrogant, dangerous, untouchable—yet from the first moment, his piercing gaze told her one thing she could never believe: she was his mate. Bound to a king who cannot touch without bringing death, Aria is pulled into a world of power, secrets, and a curse that could shatter them both. But when Darius realizes the “weak mate” he rejected is the lost heir of the Moonfire bloodline—and now bound to the Lycan King—he will do anything to claim her back. Too late. The throne, the curse, and her heart already belong to another

Chapter: Happy endingRaiden’s POVI stared at the old woman for a long moment before looking away.I didn’t understand her presence here. Not now. Not after everything.Of all days… she chose today to come into my room, to stand over my mate’s body like this was just another passing moment.My jaw tightened.“Is there anything you want to do?” I asked, my voice low, controlled but strained beneath it.I didn’t wait before adding, “Every witch we could find has tried. Every healer. Every remedy. Nothing worked.” My gaze shifted back to Aria, lying there so still it made my chest ache. “She’s gone.”The old woman only smiled.Not mockingly.Not pitying.Just… calm.“Why do you still keep her here, Alpha Raiden?” she asked gently.The question hit harder than it should have.I leaned forward slightly, resting my jaw against my intertwined fingers as I stared at Aria’s unmoving form.“It’s hard to let go,” I admitted quietly.Because it was.Because she didn’t look gone.She hadn’t changed. Not even slightly.

Chapter: DeadRaiden’s POVFour days.Four days since everything shattered.I stood on the balcony, the cold morning air brushing against my skin, yet I felt nothing. Below, the pack moved—quiet, subdued. No laughter. No strength in their voices. Just… survival.Behind me, my son slept in his cradle.Kael.Ava stood nearby, silent, watchful, as if afraid even her breath might disturb the fragile stillness in this room.And me?I stared at the sky like it held answers it refused to give.Four nights ago.It was supposed to be different.That night was meant to be ours.Peace after war. Victory after bloodshed. A moment to breathe. To hold Aria in my arms, to forget everything else and just… exist with her. With our son.I had allowed myself to believe it.Allowed myself to believe I was free.Free from the curse.What a fool.It started small.A flicker. A shift. That familiar darkness clawing its way up from inside me. I had fought it—gods, I had fought it but the curse… it doesn’t negotiate.It ta

Chapter: Proper deathAria POVThe forest knew I was coming.Branches shifted before I touched them. Leaves whispered as I passed. The ground beneath my feet felt… aware. Like it recognized something in me I was only just beginning to understand myself.Or maybe it was the power.It still hummed under my skin, quiet now, but alive. Waiting.I didn’t need guides. I didn’t need scouts.I could feel her.Selene.Like a stain on the air.I moved faster.Not running — no.Gliding.Each step lighter than the last, until the distance between trees blurred into streaks of shadow and silver. The deeper I went, the colder the air became. The woods thinned gradually until the ground sloped upward.A mountain.Of course she’d be here.Dramatic.I climbed without slowing, boots barely making a sound against rock and loose gravel. The wind grew sharper as I reached the top, carrying something with it,Her scent.Bitter. Ancient. ugly.And then—I saw her.Selene stood at the edge of the mountain, her back to me, dark ro

Chapter: This has to endAria POVThe days after the war passed in a way I had almost forgotten life could feel.Quiet.Not the uneasy quiet that comes before bloodshed, but the kind that settles over a land when danger has finally passed and people can breathe again.For the first time in what felt like forever, the fortress no longer hummed with tension. Warriors still trained, patrols still moved along the borders, but the frantic edge that had once driven every movement was gone.Peace had returned.Real peace.And with it came something even more precious.Our son.A few days after everything settled—after the war, after the chaos, after the long and painful hours that had brought new life into the world—Lady Marisol arrived.Raiden’s witch.She came quietly, wrapped in her long midnight-blue cloak, eyes bright with that knowing look she carried everywhere. We didn’t have to go to her this time.She congratulated us both with warmth that felt surprisingly genuine for someone so mysterious. Then she asked

Chapter: Rebuild Aria POVThe silence after war is always strange.One moment, there is screaming, steel, blood, and chaos.The next—Victory.The enemies were retreating, dragging their wounded, abandoning their dead. Weapons lay scattered across the courtyard like discarded pride. The moon still hung high above us, but the air no longer felt suffocating.It felt ours again.A roar erupted behind me.Our pack.Shouts of triumph. Laughter. Howls splitting the night sky in celebration.We had won.I turned slowly.And there he was.Raiden stood in the middle of the courtyard, sword lowered now, chest rising steadily, blood streaked across his armor — some his, most not. His eyes found mine instantly.The tension in his shoulders eased.He sighed.And then he smiled.That was all it took.I ran.I didn’t care that warriors were watching. Didn’t care that the courtyard was still a mess of bodies and broken stone. I ran straight toward him and jumped.He caught me effortlessly.His arms wrapped

Chapter: VictoryLucian POVThe shift tore through me like lightning.Bone restructured. Muscle thickened. The world sharpened.When I landed fully into my lycan form, the battlefield no longer looked like chaos — it looked like prey.Kael was already transformed beside me, larger than most, his claws dripping with blood that wasn’t his. Liam let out a feral roar as his own lycan form snapped into place, towering and brutal.We didn’t wait.We charged.The first wave of vampires rushed us with unnatural speed, their red eyes glowing in the firelight. One lunged for my throat.I caught him midair.My claws sank into his chest and ripped downward. Blackened blood sprayed across the dirt as I tore him in half before his feet even touched the ground.No time to savor it.A werewolf slammed into my side.

He was strong , Darius hadn’t gathered weaklings — but strength without discipline was nothing.I twisted, sank my claws into his shoulder joint,

Chapter: Under attackKael’s POV The sanctuary was silent. Not even the crackle of firewood dared interrupt my thoughts as I sat alone, surrounded by shadows and the sharp scent of herbs and old blood. This place—once sacred, once soothing—had become a cage I willingly locked myself in. Days had passed. Weeks maybe. And yet, I couldn’t forget her. The woman of that night. I didn’t know her name. I never even got the chance to ask. She had been light in the dark, warm in a world where I was cold-blooded by necessity. Her voice, her breathless laughter, the way she touched me like she wasn’t afraid of what I was… like she saw me. I had started to feel something I had long forgotten. Something dangerously close to hope. And then… she vanished. Gone before I even returned to the tent. No note. No word. Just empty sheets and the haunting echo of her scent. I clenched my jaw, eyes narrowing at the memory that had haunted me every damn night since. I searched. Goddess, I searched. I had every scout, every

Chapter: Are you worthy??Ronan’s POV Dawn had barely broken when Mira walked into my office, hovering like a shadow by the door. I was seated at the edge of my desk, arms folded, eyes skimming through a weathered scroll that detailed rogue sightings near our borders. She didn’t speak. Not for a full ten minutes. “Mira,” I said without looking up, “you’ve been standing there like a statue. What is it?” She fidgeted, her hands wringing together. “Promise me you won’t get all mad about it.” That made me pause. I slowly lifted my gaze to her and arched a brow. “What have you done this time?” She stepped closer, guilt already etched into her face. “Jax and I were out on the northern patrol. We... we found someone.” I straightened slightly. “Found someone?” “A girl,” she nodded. “In the woods. She was half-conscious, injured, barely breathing. Looked like she hadn’t eaten in days.” My brows furrowed. “And you brought her here?” Mira flinched at the sharpness in my tone but held her ground. “We couldn’t ju

Chapter: Warmth againSelene’s POV It had been days. Days of walking with no direction, only the pain in my feet and the cold bite of the wind guiding me forward. The nights were the worst. The world turned black, and every sound became a threat. The howls in the distance. The rustling in the brush. The echo of my own heartbeat in my ears as I curled into myself, trying to stay warm. Trying to stay alive. I didn’t know where I was anymore. Snow had soaked my boots through. My legs were scraped from thorns, rocks, gods-know-what else. My cloak—thin and torn—clung to me like wet paper. I’d passed through forests dense with silence, cliffs jagged and high, and rivers too cold to cross without feeling like death was waiting on the other side. But I kept walking. Because I had no choice. The wildlands… they didn’t welcome you. They tested you. And I was failing. I tried finding shelter—small caves, hollowed trees, anywhere I could rest my eyes. But the creatures here were always watching. I could feel

Chapter: TraditionSelene’s POV My entire body ached—every bone, every muscle, even the skin I was wrapped in. The sky outside had already faded into night, shadows painting the walls of my room. I’d been locked in here for hours. Maybe even the whole day. And I was sure by now… the entire pack knew. Yes. Selene—the disgrace. Selene—the shame of Moonbane. The girl who dared to carry the child of an enemy. I could almost see their faces twisted in judgment, feel their whispers crawling down my spine like insects. And honestly… I couldn’t even blame them. Because I was ashamed of myself too. How did I let this happen? How could I have been so blind? What kind of mistake have I made—so permanent, so life-changing—that there’s no waking up from it? I buried my face deeper into the pillow, hugging it tightly like it could muffle the noise inside my head. I had no clue what Uncle Malric and Aunt Ysara were planning. Maybe exile. Maybe worse. But whatever it was… I would face it. Because I had t

Chapter: DisgraceTwo Weeks Later – Selene’s POV The nausea hit me before my eyes even opened. I groaned, curling deeper into the sheets, hoping if I stayed still enough, the rolling in my stomach would stop. It didn’t. It hadn’t for days. I’d been waking up with this same awful, queasy feeling—nauseous, tired, weirdly sensitive to smells. Even Liora’s perfume made me gag yesterday, and I usually loved that scent on her. With a hiss, I sat up slowly, pressing my palm to my forehead. My head was throbbing, and the sunlight that leaked through my window was way too bright for this hour. “What is wrong with me?” I muttered under my breath, swinging my legs over the edge of the bed. My room was warm and still, but something in my chest felt unsettled. Like I was on the edge of a drop I couldn’t see yet. I hadn’t told anyone—not Aunt Ysara, not Liora, especially not my uncle. Spirits, if Malric even suspected I was sick, he’d probably call for a full council meeting and label me ‘unfit to serve as a Mo
