Chapter: Chapter 32Kieran looked out the high, reinforced window, seeing the full moon hanging heavy in the sky. It was beautiful, a perfect, luminous circle shining brightly down on them as if it were happy, utterly indifferent to the suffering it catalyzed below. He glanced at Seb and could feel the restless energy rolling off him. The moon’s call was a palpable force, and Seb’s wolf would be yearning to answer it, to run and hunt, not stand vigil in a sterile cell."Go, Seb," Kieran said, his voice leaving no room for argument. "Don't worry. I'll be fine."Seb looked hesitant, his loyalty warring with instinct. "Are you sure? I don't mind staying," he said, though Kieran could smell the lie on him."Just go."With a curt nod, Seb slipped out, the heavy door closing with a definitive thud that echoed in the stark room. Kieran was alone with the consequence of his choices. He took a deep breath, the air thick with the scent of Nate’s pain and fear, and turned to look at him.It seemed the actual transf

Chapter: Chapter 31Kieran could feel the power beneath his skin, a rising tide that made every sense sharper, every muscle coiled and ready. He stood on the mansion's rear terrace, staring up at the night sky. The moon was a glaring, incomplete circle, a promise of more to come. He could feel his own wolf pacing in the confines of his mind, eager, restless. It loved the full moon the raw freedom of the run, the wind a roaring river through its fur, the world simplified to scent and sound and strength at its absolute peak.But not tonight.Tonight, he would have to be with nate.. The memory of the last time nate had lost control flooded his mind. It had taken significant effort to subdue him then. Nate was half-lycan and as if that wasn’t bad he was also a rogue without the control of a pack bond, flooded with the full moon’s power… it was an equation for disaster.He was so lost in the grim calculation that he didn’t hear Seb approach until the other wolf was beside him, a silent, solid presence.“So,

Chapter: Chapter 30For Nate, the days coming up to the full moon were peculiar and had two sides. Life went on as usual on the outside. He still went to his university classes and met with Professor Harding to talk about their research project. The academic pursuit felt like a distant, old recollection of a simpler time. He even hung out with Liam at their customary café, where he listened to his friend gripe about his job and dating life. These normal problems were like a comforting, grounding balm for him. But under that thin layer of normalcy, the pack was getting ready for a storm. A storm with two fronts. The first was inside, beating at Nate's own skin. The second was out in the city, a dismal reminder that their enemy was not waiting. There were more bodies being found. The news broadcasts were carefully sanitized, but the pack’s channels buzzed with the brutal details. All of the victims were on the margins of the supernatural society, and they all had the same horrible signature: th

Chapter: Chapter 29Nate had tried to forget about it. Kieran had said "You're mine" before, but he thought it was only a possessive flare that would go away once the passion cooled.But Kieran kept saying it.And with each repeat, the words drove a deeper groove into Nate's mind. He knew he should be upset, and it made sense. He was a person, not something to be owned. He would have punched anyone else in the face if they had talked to him that way. But it wasn't anyone else. Kieran did it.And the infuriating, scary truth was that when Kieran said those things, they didn't make him angry. They shot a bolt of pure, undiluted fire directly to his core, making his head spin and his blood race south. The paradox was a struggle inside him, and he was frantically, tragically, losing. He really, truly needed to figure out his feelings regarding Kieran. The tense stillness between them had gradually relaxed back into a shared, focused energy. After a while, Kieran’s voice, now tinged with genuine intrigue,

Chapter: Chapter 28The heavy, carved door swung shut behind them, sealing with a sound like a final, decisive breath. The air in the hidden library was instantly different cool, still, and carrying the profound silence of a sacred space. It was filled with the scent of old leather, dried herbs, and aged paper.Nate’s head was still spinning from the impossibility of it all. “Wait,” he said, the word echoing softly in the vast space. “Magic is real?”Kieran, who was already moving toward a central oak table, didn’t even look back. “Not in the way you’re thinking of it,” he replied, his voice low and matter-of-fact. “There aren’t really witches with pointy hats casting spells from cauldrons. But there are… energies. Forces that predate humanity. Our kind, and others, can learn to channel them. It requires focus, intent, and rituals. It’s certainly not about waving a wand ”Nate absorbed this, another foundational stone of his reality being upended. His eyes, now adjusted to the soft, ambient light, began

Chapter: Chapter 27For a long moment, the only sounds in the janitor’s closet were their ragged breaths, the air thick with the scent of sex and bleach. Nate leaned heavily against the wall, boneless and spent, feeling the warm, wet evidence of Kieran’s release begin to trickle down his inner thigh. He flinched slightly at the sensation, overstimulated and raw.He expected Kieran to pull away, to straighten his own clothes and leave Nate to deal with the mess. But he didn’t.Instead, Kieran’s touch, which had been so demanding moments before, turned surprisingly soft. He gently eased out of Nate, a movement that made Nate hiss softly. Then, Nate heard the rip of paper towels and the faint sound of water from the small sink in the corner. Kieran returned and began to wipe Nate down with a damp, rough paper towel, his movements careful, cleaning the spend from his skin and thighs with a strange, possessive tenderness. The act was so intimate, so at odds with the frantic coupling, that Nate could only watc
