The Alpha's Enemy's Daughter
Lucien Dravon does not forgive.
He built his pack from nothing after the Oakshade Packs burned everything he loved to the ground. Six years later, he is still waiting for the right moment to finish what they started.
Then the High Council hands him a choice, take the enemy Alpha's daughter as his bonded mate, or watch everything he rebuilt fall apart.
He chooses the alliance.
He tells himself it is a strategy.
He is wrong.
Alira Vael has spent her whole life paying for her father's sins with her silence. She is not a fighter. She is not a schemer. But she walks into Ashveil carrying something far more dangerous than a weapon, and she has been waiting years for the right person to give it to.
The moment their hands touch, fate makes a decision neither of them asked for.
He wants to hate her. She already knows why.
But the longer she stays, the more his walls crack. And the more his walls crack, the closer she gets to the secret that could either end the blood feud between their packs, or light it back on fire.
He swore to destroy her family.
She came to help him do it.
So what happens when the enemy you were built to hate turns out to be the one person who was always on your side?

Chapter: CHAPTER 10Lucien had been running for two hours.He shifted back at the eastern border, breathing hard, and stood in the cold morning air with his hands braced on his knees. The trees around him were still. The territory was quiet. Everything was exactly as it should be. And he could still feel exactly where she was.That was the problem. That had been the problem since Greymist Ridge, since the moment their hands had touched during the rite and something inside him had lurched forward like a dog hitting the end of its chain. He had been managing it since then, but it wasn't getting quieter.He straightened up and started back toward Ashveil.He told himself he was going back because the morning briefing needed him. Because Draven had sent two messages already. Because an Alpha who disappeared into the eastern woods every time something made him uncomfortable was not an Alpha who deserved a pack.*~*~*~Alira had not meant to end up in the east yard.She had been looking for a shorter route to

Chapter: CHAPTER 9She found Brix in the yard.He was sitting on a low bench outside the storehouse, face turned up to the thin morning sun like a man who had decided he had spent enough time horizontal. He looked better than he had any right to after three days in a sick bed. Older wolves healed stubborn, Wren had told her once. Like they had something to prove.He heard her coming and didn't look up. "Healer," he said."You're not supposed to be out of bed,” Alira said. “You're supposed to be resting," "I am resting," he said. "Outside."She sat on the other end of the bench without asking. He glanced at her sideways, then back at the yard.She took his wrist and checked his pulse. He let her, which she took as a good sign. Fortunately, his pulse was steady and strong. Better than it had any right to be after the fever he had put himself through. She finally set his hand down.Neither of them spoke for a moment."What you said," she started. "When your fever broke."Brix raised a brow, “I said quite

Chapter: CHAPTER 8Wren did not speak for a long time.She sat in the chair by the door with her hands folded in her lap and watched Alira stare at the closed door. The morning light was thin and grey and the infirmary smelled like herbs and exhaustion.Then she said, carefully, "How much do you know about your mother?"Alira turned. "What?""Your mother." Wren's voice was measured. Not gossiping. Not prying. The tone of someone choosing their words the way you chose your footing on uncertain ground. "How much did your father tell you about her?"Alira felt something tighten in her chest. "He told me she died when I was born," she said. "Complications. That was all he ever said."Wren nodded slowly. Not surprised. Just taking it in."Did you know her?" Alira asked. "Is that what this is?""No," said Wren. "I never met her." She paused. "But Brix has been in this pack since before Lucien rebuilt it. He knew wolves from a lot of territories. From before the war."Alira looked at the door again. "He knew h

Chapter: CHAPTER 7Brix came in just before midnight.Two wolves carried him between them, one arm each, his feet barely finding the floor. He was a big man, the kind who had clearly been built for trouble in his younger years, broad across the shoulders and scarred in the specific way of someone who had survived things most people didn't. But a fever didn't care how dangerous you used to be. It just burned.Wren took one look at him and her face did the thing it did when she was already calculating how bad this was going to get."Brix," she said, guiding him to the bed on the right. "How long?""Two days," one of the wolves carrying him said. "He wouldn't come in. You know how he is.""I know exactly how he is," Wren said, pulling back the blanket. "Stubborn old fool."Brix made a sound that was probably meant to be a protest but came out as something closer to a groan. His skin was burning when Alira pressed the back of her hand to his forehead. Not just warm. The kind of heat that meant the body had

Chapter: CHAPTER 6Nobody moved in the room.Wren's hands stilled over the patient she was tending. Alira straightened slowly from the bed on the left, the one whose fever had finally broken an hour ago, and turned to face the door.Lucien Dravon filled the frame.He didn't look the way she expected. She had built a version of him in her head over the past two days, cold and distant and unreachable. Of course, he was those things, but standing there in the low lamplight of the infirmary at midnight, he also looked like a man who had not come here for a pleasant reason.His eyes moved around the room. The three occupied beds. The workbench with its organised mess of compounds and cloth. Wren, who had gone very still in the particular way of someone trying not to be noticed.Then they landed on Alira."Out," he said, more like commanded.His voice was quiet. That was the worst part. Men who shouted were manageable. Men who went quiet were the ones who had already decided.Alira set down the cloth in her h

Chapter: CHAPTER 5Nobody came to show her to breakfast.Alira had been awake since before the sun came up, which meant she had not really slept. She had lain in the unfamiliar bed and listened to the sounds of a new territory settling into morning. Distant voices. The creak of a gate. Somewhere, a mut barking once and then going quiet.She had waited till after the hall sounds picked up below. Then she got dressed, put her hair up, and went to find food herself.The great hall was not hard to find. She followed the smell.It went quiet when she walked in.Not the loud kind of quiet. Not the kind where people stop and stare openly. The kind where conversations lower and eyes cut sideways, and everyone suddenly finds something very interesting about their plate. She had grown up in Oakshade Pack territory. She knew that kind of quiet. It was the sound of a room deciding what you were.She picked up a empty bowl from the end of the table, filled it from the pot near the fire, and sat down at the far end o
