Frustration burned hotter than the rage inside me.

Rage was clean and simple because It gave me something to destroy.

But this… this helplessness… it sat in my chest like poison, spreading with every breath.

I should have found her.

I should have brought her back.

The pack house was too bright when I stepped onto the porch. Light poured out from every window, cutting into my eyes after the darkness of the forest.

Warriors stood in lines along the entrance, their bodie

  • Rejected by my mate, Claimed by Alpha Ryder   CHAPTER 244

    THE CRESCENT BROTHERHOOD PARTY~ Doris ~I stood quietly at the edge of the ballroom, gently swirling the wine in my glass as I watched the lively crowd. The grand hall was packed with people, music, and laughter. The mood was filled with celebration. Roman had finally fought back, reclaimed his territory, and officially rejoined the Brotherhood.As I looked across the rows of tables, I saw the leaders of every pack gathered in one room. The Alpha of the Rain Pack sat comfortably with his family at their table. Nearby, the Alpha of the Cloud Pack laughed with the members of her pack. Then there was Roman, the Alpha of the Sun Pack, sitting proudly beside his wife and young son with his head held high. He looked like a completely different man. Beside him sat the Alpha of the Thunder Pack—my own brother. I had missed him so much, and seeing him finally take his rightful place filled me with pride. And finally, there was the table of the Alpha of the Moon Pack.But as I looked towa

    ~ Doris ~So this is it. After eighteen long years, Lucious is finally going to pay for taking Gab away from us.Today, justice is finally being served for everything that monster did to me, to Blade, and to every woman who was made to hate herself because of his cruelty—just like Sandra.The weight of the past crashed over me, and tears streamed down my face as painful memories flooded my mind. I ran forward, channeling the power flowing through my veins until my hands glowed with a bright silver light. Mom ran beside me, her own hands shining with a golden glow. We looked at each other as we ran. In that silent moment, we both knew we shared the same unwavering purpose.The moment we reached Lucious, we attacked at the same time. I went for his right arm while Mom went for his left. We extended our claws and slashed down with all our strength.The attack was clean. Both of Lucious’s arms were cut off, hitting the blood-soaked ground with a heavy thud.“No! You can’t kill me! I ha

    “No!” Gab choked out, his voice hoarse as the silver blade dug deeper into his neck. “Don’t listen to him!”Fresh blood trickled down from the cut, but he didn’t stop struggling.“I’d rather die here, than let that monster live to hurt anyone else!”Tears filled his eyes, mixing with the dirt and blood on his face.Even with death staring him in the face he refused to surrender.“Let him go!” Mom cried, her voice breaking with fear. “Take the dagger away from his neck, and we’ll let you leave here alive!”The fierce warrior in her disappeared. All that remained was a mother trying to save her son.She raised both hands and stepped in front of the Moon Pack warriors, stopping them from moving any closer.Her eyes never left Gab.“Please…” she whispered. “Don’t hurt him.”“Mom, don’t do this!” Gab cried out, his voice breaking as a fresh torrent of blood poured from the deep gash in his leg. “If you save me and let him escape, I promise you I will never forgive myself! I will end up kil

    “Jason! Jasmine!! Both of you should hold each other’s hand immediately!”The command cut through the roaring battlefield like a bolt of lightning. Two voices boomed from the far edge of the tree line. It was Mom and Dad.They’re alive!We didn’t hesitate. We didn’t look back—not even for a second.I lunged to the side and grabbed Jasmine’s hand, holding it tightly as our fingers locked together.The moment our hands met, something shifted.I squeezed my eyes shut and I blocked out the screams, the running footsteps, and Lucious’s charging army.Everything disappeared, all I could feel was the pounding of my heart.I sank deep into my mind, reaching for something buried inside me.Something powerful.I pushed harder, drawing on everything Mom and Grandma had ever taught us.And for the first time I didn’t fight the power inside me. I let it rise.Let it manifest, I prayed. Now!A blinding surge of energy exploded inside me.It wasn’t just strong—it felt alive. When my eyes snapped ope

    Before the rogues could react to Roman’s sudden attack, Gab spun around and drove a powerful punch straight into the face of the rogue holding Jasmine.The man’s head snapped back.He collapsed to the ground without making another sound.Before I could process what had just happened, Gab grabbed Jasmine and me by the arms and pulled us to our feet.I stared at him, completely stunned.My mind raced with questions.Why was he helping us? After everything he had said and everything he had done.Why?Jasmine wiped the dirt from her face and stared at Gab with wide, tear-filled eyes.“Gab…” she whispered, her voice shaking. “Did… did you change your mind?”Gab turned to us, his eyes burning with fierce determination.“What?” he shouted. “Do you really think I would choose a monster over my own family?”He shook his head, his jaw tight with anger.“Never,” Gab said firmly, shaking his head. “Everything that happened was part of the plan.”He looked at us with an apologetic expression.“We

    A figure stepped out from the thick line of trees. The moment I saw him, my eyes widened. It was Roman Bone.Kiara’s father.He walked into the clearing with his jaw set, his face calm but deadly. A small group of loyal, heavily armed men followed closely on both sides, ready for a fight.Lucious let out a slow laugh. “Well, well…” he said with a smug grin. “Look who finally decided to show up after so many years.” He looked Roman up and down without the slightest hint of fear. “The Great Roman Bone.”“I’ll say this one last time,” Roman roared, his voice shaking the entire clearing. “Let the children go and end this evil now!”His eyes locked onto the arm wrapped tightly around Kiara’s neck.The moment he saw Lucious holding his daughter, his face darkened with fury.“And get your filthy hands off my daughter,” he growled, taking another step forward. “If you don’t… I’ll cut them off myself.”Lucious smirked, casually tightening his grip on Kiara just to be spiteful. “Oh? She’s your

    “Nana is what?” I asked, standing so close to Clara that I could see the faint tremble in her lower lip.Answer me, Clara!She said nothing. Her eyes were empty, flat, like she had already decided how this would end. The restaurant lights cast long shadows across her face, making her

    “What do you mean I have no children?” Richard’s voice trembled with barely contained rage. “Anna, you know how dangerous I become when I’m angry. Don’t test me right now.”“Richard, what you’re about to do will—”“Scatter my family,” he finished bitterly, his words laced with pain.
