Introduction
Chapter 1
She got to an open space, the trees around were in form of a circle. It was where the battle happened last night, it was messy, among the bodies on the ground, some were long dead, and some were barely alive. She hoped that he would be in the later.
She sniffed, hoping to catch his scent among the other scents mixed. A few seconds later, she finally got it and hurried to where he is. There he was lying limply, he had a bloodstain on his shirt, she quickly checked his breath. He was alive though barely breathing. Her eyes held some relief then they glinted in anger. The Viserryan vampires, she will make them pay.
Behind her, the others have finally caught up with her. “Hey Koryn, how is he?”. Nyra asked. They ran behind Koryn but she was too fast for them to catch up with.
“He is okay, we have to hurry back”. She answered her sister tensely.
She looked at the other members of the pack who came behind Nyra and instructed “Spread out and scout for other sentinels who are still alive, I can faintly hear some still breathing. Bring them to the pack”.
She bent down to pick up her brother when she heard a male voice behind her “Let me help you Koryn” she turned and looked at him fiercely. Unknowingly, she leaked her aura and the others broke out in a cold sweat and were forced to bow their heads.
Nyra moved with difficulty and shook Koryn “Stop it, I know you are furious but you are draining their energy. Your anger is supposed to be directed at those who did this not your clan”.
Koryn was shaken out of her reverie, she looked at the others and sighed. Unable to say anything, she adjusted her brother in arms and ran towards the town with inhuman speed.
Nyra looked at Koryn as she slowly disappeared from their sight, she knew that she was blaming herself again.
Koryn arrived at the town and went inside the packhouse. She entered her brother’s room and lay him down on the bed, she was about to go out to call a doctor when her mother came inside the room.
“Don’t bother, I have already informed Rhory, he will be here soon” Evette quickly walked towards the bed and sat at the edge. She covered Keldon’s hands with hers, her eyes tearing up.
Evette Blackwood was the typical beauty, with brown hair, and hazel eyes. Which were inherited by her brother and her younger sister.
“Calm down mom, he will be fine, let’s just wait for Rhory”.
“He is supposed to be fine by now, why is he still in this state?” Evette asked worriedly
Koryn was silent, she also wants to know why, if it was the other members it would have been explainable but not her brother, he is the alpha.
Rhory entered, he was a tall blond man with deep blue eyes. His features scrunched up in worry as he rushed inside. Evette got up as soon as she saw him and give him space to work. Koryn led her mother outside.
“He is fine, in five hours he would have to wake up, remember to call me when he wakes up to complete my check”. Rhory said, as soon as he came out of the room.
“… what happened to him, he is not supposed to be in this state at this time. Why is his healing process slow?” Evette asked the question that has been bugging her.
“He is tired, he must have been too exhausted with work that his body couldn’t take it. He also fought with our rival clan the day before. It must have taken a toll on his body”. Rhory answered slowly.
Evette nodded in understanding. “Thank you for your hard work”.
“It is what I should do” Rhory took a little bow.
Evette tapped his back in acknowledgment and went into Keldon’s room. Koryn looked at Rhory and frowned, she doesn’t buy the thoughtless explanation he just gave. Her mother is sometimes gullible because of how is pampered by her husband and her son but she is not.
Rhory nodded at Koryn and was about to leave when he heard her voice in his head “Meet me downstairs”. She walked past him and went out.
Rhory was startled. He still hasn’t gotten used to the mind link. He was a stray werewolf before Keldon met him in a human town and offered membership in his pack. He was skeptical at first but he later agreed.
Apparently after joining a pack, one of the privileges is being able to use the mind link to communicate without others eavesdropping, except the Alpha who can listen to every one of them if he chooses to.
Is there anything else you would like to know Koryn?”. Rhory asked as he approached her.
“You can try to fool my mother but not me, what are you hiding?”.
“I don’t understand what you are trying to say”. .. Insisted
“You are quite stubborn” Koryn smirked and released her aura. Rhory was forced to bow his head in submission, he felt silly for trying to go against Koryn even after hearing about her infamous reputation.
“I was only trying, to save your brother. I wanted to tell him the truth when he woke up”.
“You can tell me. What? Do you think I am not trustworthy”. Koryn asked with a smile on her face.
Rhory gulped, she was threatening him with a beautiful smile. She lives up to her reputation. “I didn’t mean it that way, I will tell you now”.
“Alright relax, you don’t have to be so tense. I am not frightening am I?” Koryn smiled brightly.
Rhory sighed inwardly. She was threatening him a few seconds ago. “I found traces of Aconitum in his blood”.
“What?! Wolf’s bane?”
“Calm down. Don’t let the others hear you” Rhory tried to get her to reduce her pitch. Though he doubts if someone hasn’t heard them already. Werewolves have sharp hearing, unlike humans.
“Those treacherous vampires. They had the temerity to lace him with wolf’s bane?”.
“I am not entirely sure if it was from the vampires, I will have to study his condition more”.
“Who else is bold enough to poison him with wolf’s bane except for those vampires”. Koryn walked past Rhory in anger and went to the training ground.
Nyra was just coming back after making sure that the injured pack members were well taken care of, and she happened to see Koryn walking away angrily. Already having an idea of what might have made her angry, she nodded at Rhory and walked inside the packhouse.
Nyra walked inside Keldon's room to see him, his face held more color than when they saw him in the forest.
“Where is your sister?”. Evette asked as she saw Nyra.
“I think she went to the training grounds”.
“That child, is she blaming herself?”.
“Don’t worry mom, she will be fine”. Nyra reassured her.
“I hope so, I hope she doesn’t do anything rash”.
Nyra was silent, even if Koryn decided to do anything out of impulse, who could stop her? Their father was not around, and the second person that can put her under control was lying on a bed. The fight with the vampires was becoming more complicated.

She lay before him in all her magnificent beauty draped across his king-size bed in the most compelling and provocative way known to man or beast. And for Alpha Zayne, it was the most captivating view he had ever had the pleasure of seeing with his own eyes.
She stared at his every movement, lips slightly parted, her stunning brown eyes scanning every inch of his gorgeously toned and glorious body while heat radiated off of hers. He was HERS.
Her body trembled in delight and anticipation; she was ready and wanted to be with him in every way.
As innocent as she was, she wanted him to...no need him to take her in the worse ways, bringing her to heights of pleasures she had never experienced before.
Fuck she is beautiful, one fine specimen, and she is all MINE, MY MATE. A wave of pure unbridled possessiveness vibrated through Alpha Zayne. He thanked the Divine Moon Goddess, for she has truly blessed him.

Iron And Glamour Just Don't Mix
Well… Sometimes you just might turn out to be right.
It turns out, the fae stole my little brother. In his place? A pixie with boundary issues and a talent for home repairs.
I’ve spent my life taking care of everyone else. So when my baby brother is taken, I don’t hesitate. I walk straight into a faerie mansion and make a bargain with its infuriatingly charming master.
Kie is everything you’d expect from a dangerous fae, beautiful, political, and entirely too amused by me. Power wrapped in a smirk. Sensual, mischievous, and far too aware of the effect he has on people. He agrees to help me find my brother.
For a price.
Now I’m bound by a faerie bargain and navigating a world of glamour, manipulation, and ancient rules I definitely should have learned sooner, enchanted forests, political games, magical contracts, and a fae lord who treats seduction like a perfectly reasonable negotiation tactic.
Iron is how I keep people out.
Glamour is how he draws them in.
And apparently, they just don’t mix.
