Fiona's pov

The stars were fading as the first light of dawn crept over the horizon. I stayed on the balcony longer than I intended, letting the chill morning air clear my head. Every breath reminded me of the weight on my shoulders and the promise I’d made.

I will bring Lila home.

The quiet was broken by footsteps behind me. Logan’s voice was low, cautious.

“You shouldn’t be out here alone.”

I didn’t turn around. “I can’t be locked away. Not when she’s out there.”

He stepped closer, the warmth of his presence brushing against my skin. “You’re not locked away. You’re being protected. Even from yourself sometimes.”

I met his eyes, searching for any trace of the cold, ruthless Alpha I’d seen behind the chains. Instead, I found something raw, a man fighting his own demons.

“I don’t want your protection,” I said quietly. “I want your help. And I want you to trust me.”

For a moment, he looked like he wanted to argue. Then he nodded. “I trust you, Fiona. More than anyone.”

  • A DEAL WITH THE ALPHA DEVIL   Beyond shadows

    Fiona's povWakanda watched the fire rise from the ridge. The clash below had already died down , screams fading, steel buried in silence. His soldiers waited behind him, restless, the scent of blood hanging in the air.“They slipped through,” one muttered.Wakanda didn’t answer. His eyes burned through the haze, searching for movement among the ruins. He could still feel her power, his daughter’s , a wild, pulsing thing that should have died under his command but hadn’t.He closed his hands behind his back. The iron rings on his fingers cut into his skin. “Pull the men back,” he said.The soldier hesitated. “But, my king....”“I said back,” Wakanda snapped. His voice carried the kind of weight that crushed obedience from air.The men retreated, boots cracking over ash and stone.When the ridge cleared, Wakanda sank to one knee, the mountain wind pulling at his cloak. The soil was warm where Fiona’s flames had touched it. He pressed his palm against the earth and felt the echo of he

  • A DEAL WITH THE ALPHA DEVIL   Enemies halted before us

    Logan's pov“Keep your head low,” I said, voice rough from the long run.Fiona didn’t reply, her steps cutting through the dirt road, cloak trailing behind her like a shadow. The old border stones of Whiteclaw rose ahead, cracked and half-buried under frost.“This isn’t home,” she murmured.“It was,” I answered.The air smelled wrong, smoke and fear and something sharp beneath it. From beyond the gates came voices, hushed and broken, the kind of murmuring that dies when you turn your head. Faces peered out from half-open doors, vanishing as fast as they appeared.Fiona slowed, jaw tight. “They’re afraid of you.”“They should be,” I said, and kept walking.The gates loomed taller than I remembered, patched with iron, our old crest slashed through and replaced by another, Rowan’s mark, sharp and proud.Fiona’s tone sharpened. “He really took everything.”I stared at the new sigil until my hands ached to tear it down. “Not everything.”A cluster of guards stepped from the shadows, armor

  • A DEAL WITH THE ALPHA DEVIL   Apologies that isn't working

    Fiona's pov“Don’t come closer.” My voice yelled against the stone.Logan didn’t stop. His boots ground over gravel, silver eyes catching the faint light of my fire.“You think I’ll let you push me off again?” he said. His tone wasn’t mocking. It was a promise.“You think this bond means you get to cage me like the others?” I spat.He tilted his head, jaw tight. “No cage holds you. Not even me. But you keep pretending you don’t want this.”I threw my flames higher, the cavern walls flashing red. Shadows clawed across his face. “I want answers. Not your touch.”He snorted, wolf bleeding through his laugh. “Liar.”“Logan....”“Don’t.” He closed the last step and seized my wrist. The heat of him met my fire, skin against flame. He didn’t flinch. He squeezed harder, forcing me to feel the roughness of his palm, the tremor in his grip. “I don’t care how much you burn me. I won’t let go.”“You should.”“Then tell me you don’t feel it.” His eyes locked on mine. Not pleading. Demanding. “Tell

  • A DEAL WITH THE ALPHA DEVIL   Exposing the hidden agendas

    Fiona's pov“You feel that?” I asked, voice low, thumb pressed hard against Logan’s hand.“He’s near,” he said. His teeth showed in a half-snarl. The tunnel hummed with it, Wakanda’s flare rolling like distant thunder. The walls vibrated. “Then move,” I said. My fire lifted at my palms without asking, a bright ache that made my skin itch. Logan dragged me forward. His grip wasn’t gentle. We came out into the old council hollow faster than I expected, breath knocking against my ribs. The place smelled of old smoke and wolf fur and history. Paintings ran along the stone: worn faces, a throne, a wolf with a crown. My fingers left glittering trails of light on the murals. The power in this room answered to bloodlines. It hummed. It waited.“Rowan’s voice,” I said. “He’s trying to rally the pack, split them.”Logan’s jaw worked. “He plays politics like he plays with knives, slick and ugly.”We crouched in the shadow of a collapsed pillar. The name Amaiya traveled like cheap wine, sweet,

  • A DEAL WITH THE ALPHA DEVIL   Dangerous hour

    Fiona's pov“Do you feel that?” I whispered, clutching Logan’s hand tighter.His eyes flicked skyward, silver burning. “He’s here.”The night shuddered. Wakanda’s power rolling over the valley like thunder made flesh. Wolves dropped to their knees, some howling in devotion, others whimpering in fear. My fire flared instinctively, sparks leaping from my skin.Logan growled, his body shielding mine. “Stand tall. Don’t bow. Not to him.”The ground trembled. A crack split through the stone of the council yard as Wakanda stepped from the shadows. Cloak dragging, eyes black as void, he raised one hand and silence smothered the crowd.“My blood,” he intoned, voice carrying like steel. “You stand against me? Against your father?”Logan snarled back, “I stand against your chains. This pack is mine.”Gasps rippled through the wolves. Some shouted his name. Others hissed traitor. The divide widened like a wound.Wakanda’s gaze shifted—to me. His lips curled. “Daughter. Do you come home to kneel?

  • A DEAL WITH THE ALPHA DEVIL   Heat and conflicts

    Fiona's pov“Let me go,” I breathed, palms flat against Logan’s chest.“You don’t mean that.” His voice was rough, wolf-laced, his grip caging me against the stone wall.“I do,” I shut back, though my pulse betrayed me, drumming wild. “You think one fight makes me forgive? You think one kiss....."His mouth cut me off, hard and claiming. I shoved, but he deepened it, forcing the bond to flare until my knees threatened to buckle. When he finally tore back, his breath seared my cheek.“You talk about forgiveness like I’m begging for it.” His thumb grazed the curve of my breast, making me gasp. “I’m not. I’ll take you even if you hate me.”My fire burst instinctively, flames crawling over my arms. He didn’t flinch, didn’t let go. His eyes burned silver. “Do it. Burn me. But you’ll still be mine.”“You arrogant bastard,” I hissed, shoving again. “You hurt me. You let Amaiya crawl into your bed....”His snarl cracked the air. “She never touched me.”“She carries a child!”“It isn’t mine!”
