All Chapters of Stolen Heart: An Alpha's Sin for His Mistress: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The bonfire in the square blazed bright. Heat washed over my face, but it couldn't warm my frozen hands and feet.Today was Alpha Julian Draven's celebration. It was supposed to be my bonding ceremony with Julian too.But the woman standing in the center of the square, wrapped in a pure white gown and nestled against Julian's side, wasn't me. Her name was Linda Griffin, a human woman Julian had brought back with him."Tonight, I swear to the Moon Goddess!" Julian's voice boomed as loud as ever, hitting every ear in the crowd."The human, Linda Griffin, will be my one and only Luna!"The lively crowd fell deathly silent. Then, shocked whispers rippled through the square.I somehow managed to move my legs. All I felt was a small, warm hand clutching desperately at my skirt. It was our pup, three-year-old Kyle Draven. His amber eyes, so much like Julian's, filled with terror."Julian!"I dragged Kyle forward and pushed through to the platform. My voice cracked from rage and fear

Midnight brought a nightmare. Kyle suddenly started convulsing, but this wasn't the trembling from fever. These were violent spasms.He opened his mouth wide, trying to breathe, but his throat made a sound like a broken bellows. Then he vomited up a mouthful of black-purple blood.Mixed with the metallic tang was a strange scent of bitter almonds. My blood ran cold.The fever medicine wouldn't go down. I hoisted Kyle onto my back and ran barefoot toward the healing center in the middle of pack territory.The elder on duty took one look at Kyle's deathly pale face and his expression changed. He pried open Kyle's eyelids, glanced inside, and immediately shouted, "It's Wolfsbane! Get the Alpha! Only Alpha blood can neutralize the poison!"Wolfsbane. A deadly poison to werewolves, especially pups. Even a trace amount could be fatal.I collapsed to the floor, clutching Kyle's ice-cold little hand. Julian arrived ten minutes later.He'd just gone to bed. One button on his shirt was fa

The Borderlands served as the pack's execution ground, located at the edge of a cliff where bitter winds howled year-round.The next morning, two warriors dragged me there like a rag doll.My spine was broken. I had no feeling in my lower body. I could only crawl across the ground littered with sharp rocks, leaving a long trail of blood behind me.Julian arrived with Linda, and Kyle. A warrior held Kyle by the scruff of his neck, dangling him in the air.Kyle's little face had turned purple. His limbs flailed weakly."Julian, I had a witch verify it last night. She said Kyle isn't werewolf blood at all. He's a bastard Ella had with some Rogue! She's been lying to you this whole time!"This was the greatest insult to an Alpha. Julian's face turned black as coal. He stared at Kyle, his disgust so thick it was almost tangible."No wonder he's so weak," Julian ground out through clenched teeth. "Three years old and he still can't shift. He's a mongrel.""No, that's not true..." I c

Just as Linda smugly wiped the blood from her blade, a thunderous howl echoed from the distance. The sound carried such terrifying authority that even the air seemed to freeze.The ground trembled. A streak of black lightning shot out from deep in the forest and landed at the cliff's edge in an instant.It was a massive wolf, larger than Julian, with fur as black as ink. He shifted into human form upon landing.It was Theo Fenwick, Alpha of the Woolbrook pack. He'd grown up with me, someone who'd always followed quietly behind me. Right behind him was Elias Crane, an elder from Julian's pack.Theo's gaze immediately found Kyle lying in a pool of blood, and me on the ground, half-human and half-wolf, utterly broken. In that instant, killing intent erupted from him. The grass and plants around him withered immediately."Julian Draven!"Theo didn't waste a single word. He shifted into his massive wolf form and lunged at Julian with world-ending fury.Julian scrambled to shift and m

When I came to, I was already lying in the back seat of Theo's SUV, clutching Kyle tightly in my arms. The car hit a bump and I instinctively shielded Kyle's head, even though he'd never feel pain again."Where are we going?" My gaze was empty as I looked at Theo."Home."Home. I hadn't been back in years.The year I fell into the lake and Julian saved me, I decided he was my fated mate. I followed him to his pack and fought his battles. I'd almost forgotten I used to be the Woolbrook pack's strongest warrior."We're here." Theo's car stopped at the entrance to the Woolbrook pack estate.When he got out, he reached for Kyle. I shook my head."Okay. I won't touch him." Theo pulled his hand back."Let's get you inside first. You need a doctor."I was carried into a room. All I remembered was how bright the lights were, so bright I couldn't open my eyes. Several people in white coats gathered around me.They tried to take Kyle away."Don't touch him!""Ella."
