I straightened against the wall, the murderous energy radiating off him chilling me to the bones. What would he do if I told him? Kill them too?

When I didn't answer, he spoke again, enunciating each word through gritted teeth, "Anastasia. Who. Hurt. You?"

I stilled, my heart skipping a long beat. This was the first time he called me by my first name, and the sound as if engraved itself in my memory, echoing inside my head like a seraphic melody. Something bubbled in my chest, a fluttering se

  • Zeus - The Alpha of Hatred    Chapter 41

    I stumbled down the hall, my mind spinning as shock crashed over me in waves. My breaths came out in shallow gasps, the air feeling too thick, and my lungs too tight. My heart thundered against my chest, my throat aching as if a scream was lodged into it or sobs. “Zeus…” I called, but no sound came. I didn't know what was happening, too lost in the whirlwind of emotions tearing through me. Could it be true? Could he really…?My vision obscured around the edges, my legs trembling. Just when I thought I was losing control, Zeus appeared at the end of the hall, his urgent gaze fixing on me as he swiftly moved, closing the distance between us. “Anastasia.” “Z-Zeus,” I finally managed to voice. Pushing myself forward, I stumbled into his arms, and he caught me with ease. “Anastasia, what is it?” “Zeus,” I whispered, clinging to his shirt as if it was the only thing keeping me together. “Zeus, he—” I choked out, my breath hitching. “M-my father… my father's alive.” The thick worry o

    “Ana!” Samara squealed, hurtling towards me and almost tackling me to the ground with the force of her hug. “Oh my God, girl, how have you been? I have been so worried about you. I wanted to come see you, but Talia wouldn't let me. Are you okay? What about Mrs. Miracle? I heard she had a heart—” “Sam!” Talia's sharp voice shut her rambling up, and she finally breathed, her cheeks flushing. “Sorry,” she muttered sheepishly. “I just couldn't help it. I’ve missed you so much. How are you?” I couldn't help but laugh, shaking my head as I returned her hug. “I'm okay. Mom’s fine, too. And I missed you just as much.” I glanced around, taking in the familiar campus grounds. The old stone buildings, the woods at the back, and the chatter of the students; it was good to be finally back. Of course, it took a lot of pleading, convincing, and a dozen promises to get Zeus to let me come back. He wasn't thrilled with the idea of me being here without him, especially, since he wasn't returning to

    “Begin,” Zeus commanded, and the feast came to life. The grand pack hall buzzed with clinking of cutlery and fine china as the pack members indulged in the ceremonial meal. Laughter and chatter echoed through every corner, excitement humming in the air. Only, I wasn't feeling any of it. My dinner sat untouched before me, my nerves tightening. It felt as though a dagger hung suspended above my head, inching down closer and closer with each passing second. The anticipation was unbearable, like waiting for a storm I couldn't escape.I had heard tales about bones shattering and reshaping, skin stretching, and muscles tearing as the body took a new form. One of the late bloomers in the pack even described it as being set on fire from the inside out. Even though I had experienced the transformation once before, it had happened so suddenly and in such a blur that mixed with the rush of adrenaline, the pain hadn't felt as intense as it should have. I took a shaky breath, trying to steel

  • Zeus - The Alpha of Hatred    Chapter 38

    I had been standing in front of my mom's hospital room for the past ten minutes, my fingers tightly wrapped around the door handle, but no courage, however, to go in, face her and tell her the truth. I heard she woke up last night but due to her weakness, the doc’s been keeping her under sedatives mostly. I wanted to see her so badly, but I was afraid if she found out I was no longer a human, but a werewolf, she would be hurt or even disappointed in me. I knew she had been in love with one, but after what happened to my father, she seemed to be in a constant panic mode whenever I showed any abnormal qualities. After she tended to me, she’d always say— What else would it mean, Tasia, my darling? You're a human, after all. It was as though those words were never for me, but for herself. Like she forced herself to believe so. Maybe she wanted a normal life, away from chaos. But look where life brought her again. “You know you can come back when you're ready,” Iris suggested from behi

  • Zeus - The Alpha of Hatred    Chapter 37

    Zeus lowered me to the ground gently and straightened my clothes, carefully fastening the buttons he undid earlier. I heard footsteps and voices approaching the door just as his expression steeled, his familiar commanding aura settling over him like second skin, and his voice regaining its cold, authoritative tone as it cut through the air. “Come in.” The door opened, and there stood Iris, gripping someone by the arm and not in a friendly way. She roughly yanked at them, and the person stumbled into the room. Malorie. She whimpered, slowly rising back to her feet, but her eyes remained fixed on the floor, never daring to rise. Her shoulders shook weakly, fear etched into her very posture as she was shoved further into the room. Iris kicked at the back of her knees, pushing her down at least ten feet from where Zeus and I stood. “What's going on?” I whispered, my brows connected. I felt Zeus’ hand press against the small of my back as he stood tall beside me. The air around him c

  • Zeus - The Alpha of Hatred    Chapter 36

    I woke up panic-stricken and with my heart in my throat. A nauseous feeling of deja Vu hit me, and I realized this was becoming a habit. I threw the blanket off of me, and my restless gaze drifted across the length of my body. Normal, fair skin under a black satin shirt, not milky-white fur. I brought my hands in front of my face. No paws either, no claws. It was a dream. A bad dream. As though my mind wasn't convinced enough, I jumped off the bed and ran to the mirror, feeling my face as I looked in for better measures. I was fine. I was me.“Anastasia.” Zeus appeared behind me in the mirror, and I whipped around to face him. “Zeus.” “Are you okay?” he asked, his hand coming up and cupping my cheek, his intent gaze tracing every inch of my face. I nodded, smiling. “Good.” He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. “Your mother woke up.”“Really?” I perked up. “Yes, but the doc put her back to sleep. She isn't yet out of danger to take any more hits.” “What do you mean?” He

    I woke up yet again in an unfamiliar room. In someone else's bed. But this time, my hands and feet weren't bound anymore. Sitting up, I looked around. Bright daylight filtered in, illuminating everything. This looked like a wooden cabin with log furniture, handcrafted items and white sheets coveri

    The silhouette of a monstrous creature clawed out of the shadows, its phantom fangs dripping with a venomous darkness that seeped into every fibre of my bones. I couldn't move, I couldn't scream. Then the fog lifted, and it crawled out of the bushes. I gasped. It was a wolf. My wolf. Blood. So m

  • Zeus - The Alpha of Hatred    Chapter 11

    "Ana!" A scream pierced through the ringing in my ears when the world spun in a swift motion right before I landed on my back. The sound of shattering glass rained around me. But not a single shard touched my skin, no pain bloomed through my flesh. Although something else burned through me.Unusua
