Kael stood in the center of a massive room which has a high ceilings streamed with crimson light that filtered through the cracks in the stone walls. Once, this had been a clearing, a place where he had exchanged vows with his lover.“Do you take him as your mate and the Alpha of this pack?” her father had repeated countlessly as if telling her to reject him, a wolfless boy without a pack.“I do till death do us apart.” she kept saying, staring at him with a warm smile ignoring the murmurs of the pack.Their vows weren't properly exchanged before they were massacred.Her crime was loving a wolfless man while his, was being a wolfless man and dreaming of being her mate and Alpha of her pack.But now, he wasn't a wolfless boy anymore but the last existing god on earth, the god of ruins.The smell of smoke, wax and old blood lingered in the air.His gaze traced the room that held their vows and blood silently, noting every detail as his chest tightened.But then, a voice cut through the

Darian's muffled screams echoed through the chambers but his struggle against the iron hold of Kael was useless because he couldn't move his body.“No one can save you,”“Not when I am involved.” Kael whispered.But then, the approaching footsteps of people were heard and seconds later, the chamber's door burst open.“My lord,” Korrah called.Kael's face darkened and with a flick of his hand, he banged the shower door locked, the noise attracting Korrah and the guards.“Wait, here he is in the shower.” Korrah ordered the guards.But when he couldn't open the door after many attempts,“Break the door,”“Alpha is in danger.” Korrah yelled.The guards rushed over, pulling, pushing and hitting the door but all their attempts were futile.But the noise distracted Kael from the fun he was having,“Have it your way,”“But I never leave without collecting my debt.” Kael said as he opened the door.The doors behind it fell forcefully when the door opened without warning, some becoming lifeless

The forest was dead silent as Kael moved deeper into it, darkness descending over it.Shadows twisted unnaturally around him like flies.The stench of black incense, blood and power corrupted by greed hung in the air as he approached a territory.The Darkhorn’s territory.A pack known for their mastery and practice of forbidden dark magics and now they have his mate.“A god never rejects an invitation but doesn't accept an apology.” Kael growled, lowly.Branches snapped beneath his boots as he moved with precise predation, every step silent and every breath controlled.Ahead, flickers of torchlight marked the edge of a clearing. Kael slowed, his senses sharpening. As he had expected, they had set a trap and were waiting for him. He took a step forward stepping into the light,Within seconds, Darkhorn guards leapt from the shadows, encircling and bounding him with chains etched in glowing runes.Kael's eyes flickered darkly but he snapped it shut, controlling his anger.The chains st

Aralynn ran blindly through the forest, her lungs burning and legs screaming but she refused to give up. Unknown to her, she had been running in circles because every path or direction she took had been silently shaped, twisted and closed by Kael himself.Kael moved with the wind, his eyes glowing faintly as he watched her silently and unseen.Suddenly, Aralynn stumbled upon a dead root and her body hit the ground, torns digging into her skin.“Arghhhhhh!” she screamed muffling, covering her mouth with her hand.But then, she felt a sudden guah of wind pass through her skin and fresh skin lay where the bleeding wound was.Aralynn's breath hitched, the monster was watching her. She stood up immediately, bolting into the forest.“He is a monster!”“A murderer!” she kept screaming in her mind refusing to stay with him.Minutes passed into hours and slowly darkness was creeping in, Aralynn barely able to move her legs collapsed by a riverbank, the same one but she was too exhausted to no

The fallen castle reeked of blood, sweat and dark magic.Varrick stood over a trembling wolf captured from a neighboring pack, his eyes gleaming as he circled it like a predator. Darian leaned against the stone wall, watching quietly as his newly restored skin gleaming in the dim candlelight.The clearing was dead silent as everyone watched as Varrick raised his hands.Slowly, shadows twisted around the him coiling like serpents before disappearing into the wolf, whose eyes flared silver before settling into a deep unnatural amber.Muscle mass shifted as its body began growing, claws elongating and fangs sharpening as a huge hybrid emerged where the wolf knelt.Everyone present, wolf and guards alike staggered back in fear.“A hybrid?” Darian murmured Varrick nodded, smiling.“We are creating an army, beta.” Varrick smirked.“How can a hybrid follow a werewolf?” Darian queried.Varrick turned his face twisting in anger, Darian stepped back instantly.“Get on your knees.” Varrick ord
