Amal Usman · Ongoing · 66.8k Words
Introduction
Worse, her transformation triggers unprecedented heat cycles that threaten to expose her true nature. To protect her from the approaching Seekers – wolves who hunt anomalies within their kind – her parents make an impossible choice: giving her to the notorious Alpha Alexander Stone as a "wolf less" slave. Known as the Beast of the Northwest, Stone has a reputation for breaking even the strongest wolves.
But as Alora struggles to hide both her true nature and her growing heat cycles within his territory, she discovers the Alpha's own secret.
When rival packs threaten war over rumors of a blood wolf's existence, Alora must choose between keeping her deadly secret and saving the ruthless Alpha who's unknowingly claimed not just her body, but her wolf's submission.
Chapter 1
My hands won't stop shaking as I stare at the full moon through my bedroom window.
The silver light bathes my cream-colored walls in an ethereal glow, but nothing can calm the fire burning beneath my skin.
Tonight's my seventeenth birthday, and my first shift is moments away. I've dreamed of this night since I was little, but now that it's here, something feels... different. Wrong.
A wave of heat courses through my body, making my silk nightgown cling uncomfortably to my sweat-slicked skin.
Mom said the first shift could be intense, but she never mentioned this burning sensation, this ache deep in my core that makes me want to crawl out of my own skin.
"It'll be okay, sweetheart," Mom whispers from my doorway. She's wearing her favorite lavender sweater, but something in her expression makes me wonder if she senses what I'm feeling. "Every Mitchell has shifted successfully for generations."
I try to respond, but another surge of heat steals my breath.
My legs tremble, and I grip the window seat's cushion, my nails lengthening into claws without my permission.
The moon's pull is stronger now, but it's not just calling to my wolf – it's awakening something else, something that makes my blood sing and my body yearn for... what?
"Mom," I gasp, as a particularly strong wave hits me. "Something's not right. I feel..."
"Alora?" Her voice sharpens with concern. "What is it?"
"Hot. Everything's so hot." I stumble to my feet, my nightgown sliding against my oversensitive skin like a lover's caress.
The thought makes me blush furiously. What's happening to me?
A sharp pain shoots through my spine, cutting off any response.
Mom rushes forward, but stops short, her nostrils flaring. "Oh, Goddess," she whispers, and for the first time, I smell it too – a sweet, heady scent rising from my skin.
"Is that...?" I can't finish the question. Heat scent.
I'm putting off heat scent. But that's impossible – first shifts aren't supposed to trigger heat cycles. Unless...
Another spasm rocks my body, and this time I can't hold back the cry that escapes my lips.
I fall to my hands and knees, the hardwood floor cool against my burning palms.
Every bone in my body seems to crack and reshape itself, but the physical pain is almost welcome compared to the other sensation – the one making me want to rub against something, anything, to ease the ache building between my legs.
"James!" Mom calls urgently. "James, get up here now!"
The shift rushes through me like a tidal wave. My nightgown tears as my body transforms, and suddenly I'm viewing the world from much closer to the ground.
New scents flood my nose, sharper and more intense than anything I've experienced before.
I can smell Mom's fear, Dad's approaching worry, and my own... my own need.
But something's wrong. Mom's gasp tells me everything before I even look down at my paws.
They're red. Blood red.
Not the beautiful silver I'd hoped for, or even the common brown or black. My fur is the color of freshly spilled blood, gleaming like rubies in the moonlight.
Ancient stories flash through my mind, tales whispered around pack bonfires about cursed wolves with fur like blood who brought death and destruction to their packs.
"Oh, Goddess," Mom whispers again, but this time I hear real terror in her voice.
She backs away from me, hand covering her mouth. "James! Bar the windows!"
Dad bursts into the room, then freezes at the sight of me.
His eyes widen, nostrils flaring as he catches my heat scent. "Elena, get the herbs. Now! And call the pack doctor."
"No!" Mom grabs his arm. "We can't let anyone see her. A blood wolf in heat... they'll kill her, James. Or worse."
I whimper, trying to back away from my own reflection in the full-length mirror beside my dresser.
A monster stares back at me. I'm no bigger than an average wolf, but my fur... and the way my eyes glow with an inner fire, pupils blown wide with the heat fever I can feel building.
The stories said the last blood-red wolf was a Luna who brought death to her mate. But they never mentioned this – this burning need that makes me want to howl for a mate I haven't met, this fever that makes my wolf want to submit and dominate all at once.
I crash into my bedside table, sending the lamp shattering to the floor. Down the hall, I hear pawing at doors – the unmated males in our pack responding to my scent. Horror fills me as I realize what this means. A blood wolf in heat... I'm not just cursed. I'm dangerous.
"Under the bed, Alora! Now!" Dad commands, his Alpha voice making my wolf whine in submission even as my heat makes me want to resist.
I obey, pressing myself against the wall, trying to become invisible in the shadows. Around me, chaos erupts – Dad barking orders through the pack bond to keep everyone inside, Mom rushing around with burning herbs to mask my scent, both of them desperately trying to contain the disaster I've become.
Because that's what I am now. Not just a cursed wolf, but a curse in heat. Every unmated male within miles will be drawn to my scent. Every pack will want to either kill me or use me. And I can feel it – the power humming under my skin, the need threatening to consume me, the knowledge that this is only the beginning.
I stay hidden as the moon continues its journey across the night sky, casting shadows that look like prison bars across my floor. My first shift should have been a celebration. Instead, it's become a death sentence sealed with the sweet scent of heat and the curse of blood-red fur.
And somewhere deep inside, past the fear and horror, my wolf howls – not in mourning, but in anticipation. Because somehow, she knows.
Our true Mate is out there.
And when he finds us, neither the curse nor the heat will matter.
Everything will burn.

The Dragon's Last Fae Queen
“Prince? Dickhead? Asshole? Or stalker?” A slow, dangerous smile curved his lips. “Maybe I should show you the one title I want you to use.” Before I could react, his hand closed around my chin, tilting my face up. His lips crashed into mine, hard, claiming, breath-stealing. When he finally pulled back, his voice was a rough whisper against my lips. “You could call me yours… because you are mine.”
HER ALPHA, HER SAVIOUR
Kane Hellboud, charm and wealth personified, wanted only me in exchange for her treatment. No cameras, isolation, or noose-like rules were part of the deal. Behind his smile? Cold, violent possessiveness that destroyed our fake marriage.
Most of all, I didn’t know the supernatural walked among us, hiding in the cracks of ordinary life. Not until Abel Stone stepped into mine—dark-eyed, sharp-tongued, and oozing dangerous promises. He’s my new boss. He shouldn’t make my skin tingle or my pulse race. I shouldn’t feel this primal pull, this illogical recognition that tugs at something deep in my bones.
Around him, lights burst, electronics fry, and something ancient in me awakens.
Kane feels it. His grip tightens, punishments turn brutal, and he hides the truth of what I am.
Trapped between two powerful men, I’m no prey, no pawn—no helpless victim.
Prisons burn. Monsters bleed. As for me? I'm the storm in skin—deadly beyond suspicion.
The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...
Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.
Now, the three-year contractual marriage is about to end, but I feel that some kind of sentiment has developed between Derek and me that neither of us is willing to admit. I'm not sure if my feelings are right, but I know that we can't resist each other physically...
The Alpha's Stripper Mate
"What?" It was out of my mouth before I could stop it. I did not wait for him to answer me, I walked toward him.
"Dance on my lap."
My head screamed at me to turn around and run. But my whole body responded to his command.
"Yes, Alpha," I pulled my dress over my body, it dropped over my head and fell to the ground behind me. I was left in nothing but my matching bra and thong. My hands covered my chest on reflex.
"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.
"No touching."

“There are no limits between us,” he chuckled, the mirth sparkling in his gorgeous eyes. “And all of this stems from the night you gave me both pain and pleasure. I’m simply returning the favor.”
He took two steps forward, and I stepped back. “But…” The memory of what I had done filled me with fear, and I knew I had to get out of there. “I…”
“No, Firecat.” He placed an index finger on my lips. “This will take your mind off that son of a bitch.” His strong hands pulled me by the waist until I felt his hard manhood.
