Most of the time he wasn't sure whether he was entirely going insane; or if he is missing her and he had simply been truly dying of heartbreak; but even now, he could see the face of his sister just looking at him with her eyes, beeming a light, almost loving smile at him. Her blonde hair had moved gently in the coming wind of the storm. He hadn't heard her genuine voice in such a long time either; though sometimes, he could have sworn he'd heard her whisper to him and felt her caress his hair. He'd thought of how she had probably changed, whether it was for bad or for good; that hadn't mattered to him nearly at all. He just wanted to see her. Alexiel had felt physical pain somewhere on the left side of his chest at the mere thought of looking straight inside her eyes again. Then again, he didn't even know if he would be allowed to hug her when he meets her; it had been such an awfully long amount of time since the last time after all. He'd almost already felt how his arms were wrapping all around her all over again, beginning to hold her tight in his brotherly grasp. Alexiel didn't realize that his hand was really going through his own hair, as he invisioned caressing her locks instead, and suddenly he'd gasped slightly. "I'll be seeing you soon, my dear sister," Alexiel had whispered in his current raspy voice into his room, just motionlessly staring at the dark ceiling.

Seventeen-year-old Maeve has always believed monsters look like monsters, until the night one smiles at her before trying to kill her. She survives the attack, but nothing about it makes sense. There was no robbery. No warning. Just a stranger with haunting eyes who hesitated long enough for her to escape. When fate throws them together again, Maeve discovers the boy behind the attack is as broken as he is dangerous. Charming, intelligent, and hiding secrets that could destroy them both, he insists she should stay as far away from him as possible. Instead, she can't stop coming back. As the line between victim and obsession begins to blur, Maeve finds herself drawn into a deadly world of lies, violence, and impossible choices. Every answer she uncovers only pulls her deeper into the mystery of why he was sent to kill her, and why he couldn't even finish the job. But loving someone capable of murder comes with a terrifying question: Did he spare her because he fell for her... or is making her fall in love with him simply the cruelest part of the plan?

Dr. Phoebe Thatcher never asked for a destiny steeped in blood. Her only expectation was another quiet night in Frostford's rural hospital-until a half-dead stranger is dragged through her ER doors, torn apart by what looks like an animal attack. He's huge, silent, brutally wounded, and somehow still alive. By morning, the man is gone. By evening, he's standing in her cabin-half naked, half feral, and certain that Phoebe is the only safe place left in the world. Dante doesn't remember who he is. Not the torture. Not the pack war. Not the betrayal that broke him. But he knows two things with bone-deep certainty: someone is hunting him... and Phoebe is his the only one keeping him sane. When wolves descend on her sleepy mountain town, Phoebe realizes she's been dragged into a war she never knew existed. His enemies want her dead, his people want her gone, and Phoebe's childhood friend-a hunter trained to kill things like Dante-would rather see her buried than claimed by a monster. But Phoebe is done being powerless. As Dante's memories return and enemies gather in the shadows, Phoebe must choose between the human life she built... or the wolf who would burn the Appalachians to keep her. He has no name, no past, and no mercy for anyone who threatens what's his. New chapter available daily. Highest Ranking: #1 in #blood 1/03/2026 #1 in #wolf 1/01/2026 #2 in #alpha 12/18/2025

He had spent centuries with only himself for company, he fed, tortured and killed that was his life and he liked it that way, until she came along and stirred something in him, something he couldn't and wouldn't accept. “If I were you I’d keep that stake sharp. Don’t expect anymore visits like this, next time I come I expect you to use that thing,” he told her pointing to the stake on the bed, and then he was gone.

After defeating Shaka, Voltrax, and Lucifer in a battle that nearly tore their world apart, Jason and his team return home scarred but united. For a brief moment, it feels like peace has finally come. But their victory has consequences. News of gods and monsters tearing through California can't be contained. The government authorizes a sweeping crackdown on anyone displaying supernatural abilities, branding them as national threats. Suddenly, the team is no longer seen as saviors-they're fugitives. Every move they make must be in secret. Every power they use risks exposure. Jason struggles to balance leadership with the need to keep his fire hidden. Tyler's Sight becomes harder to control under pressure, especially as his visions hint that something worse is coming. Tara wrestles with cravings she can't indulge without drawing suspicion. Chloe fears her Siren's voice will betray them at the wrong moment. Gabrielle carries the guilt of Jordan's sacrifice and begins to withdraw from the group. And Carlos-ever the outsider-enjoys the chaos a little too much, even as he fights to protect them. While dodging patrols, raids, and drones designed to detect supernatural signatures, the team uncovers whispers of a new threat: a paranormal predator that leaves its victims empty shells, drained of both life and memory. Unlike demons or gods, this creature can't be fought with brute force-it hunts quietly, slips through shadows, and seems immune to the team's usual methods. As the government closes in and paranoia within the group grows, the team must learn how to fight without revealing themselves-and how to stay united when fear and secrecy begin to erode their bond. But the creature isn't just feeding; it's searching. And the closer it gets, the clearer it becomes: someone among them is its true target.
