A Different Kind of Alpha: Blood Oath Chapter 107 – Closer
AlexeiLater, in the hall, my hands keep betraying me.It’s not conscious. I’ve simply gotten used to touching him without thinking. A hand at the small of his back in crowded corridors. My fingers brushing his wrist when he starts tapping his quill. A palm on his knee under the table when Vorlag starts threading poison into questions.He allows it in private audiences, when it’s just Lyra and Marcus and maybe one terrified petitioner.Elsewhere he’s less indulgent.Today, it’s a visiting trader from the western ridge, nervously hat-twisting his way through a complaint about bandits.Kieran listens with that terrifying stillness that means every word is being weighed. The set of his jaw says he already has three plans and is trying to pick which one won’t cause a riot from the elders on the council.His fingers drum once against the armrest.I reach out and lay two fingers lightly over his wrist. The drumming stops and his shoulders ease, almost imperceptibly.Then he notices the ang
A Different Kind of Alpha: Blood Oath Chapter 106 – What You’re Worth
AlexeiBy the third time Tarek fumbles the grip change, I know I should stop the drill. By the tenth, I know I should stop me.“Again,” I bark instead.His knuckles are white around the staff. Sweat slicks his temple, darkening the short hair there. He sucks in a breath and moves through the pattern. Step, pivot, thrust, backhand, his feet almost right, his shoulders almost loose.Almost isn’t enough.I knock the practice staff out of his hands with a sharp twist of my wrist. The wood clatters across the packed dirt, skidding to a stop at Marcus’s boots.Tarek flinches.“Dead,” I say. “Again.”He bends to retrieve the staff, shoulders tight, jaw clenched.“Alexei,” Marcus says mildly behind me. “You planning to leave anything that isn’t bruised for patrol tonight?”“Better bruises now than burial later,” I say without looking at him. “Tarek, what did I tell you about your back foot?”He swallows. “Anchor, sir. Don’t...”“Don’t what?” I push.“Don’t let it trail,” he says, louder. “Don
A Different Kind of Alpha: Blood Oath Chapter 105 – The Things We Don’t Say
KieranI wake up to a very heavy, very smug wolf pinning me to the mattress.For a second I don’t move.Heat. Weight. The scent of sweat and sex in the air. A breath against my throat, slow and even. An arm banded around my waist, a thigh thrown over mine, his hair tickling my chest where it’s come loose from the braid.My wolf stretches like a cat in a patch of sun and makes a pleased noise.I don’t have a word for how my heart feels.Not panicked. Not numb.Quiet.It’s so unfamiliar it might as well be a new kind of pain.I lie there, trying to understand it. There’s the usual morning stiffness, the pleasant ache in my spine and hips, the soreness at the base of my throat where he mouthed at me like he could drink me down.Under that… nothing is gnawing.No dread chewing at the edges of my thoughts. No cold little voice whispering that everything is a lie, that I’m one decision away from losing it all.It’s like my ribs have finally stopped being a cage for my heart and started bein
A Different Kind of Alpha: Blood Oath Chapter 104 – Soft
Alexei “Tell me something you want,” Kieran says. “Not in bed. Out in the real world.”“You take away all my best goals,” I complain, then think.The word that comes up surprises even me.“Roots,” I say.He goes very still.“Having somewhere that’s mine. A room that doesn’t feel temporary. A pack that welcomes me instead of seeing me as expendable. People who don’t introduce me as ‘the Redmaw mercenary’ but as…” I wave a hand. “As someone else.”“Who?” “Alexei,” I say. “Partner. Protector. Menace. The one who makes the Alpha look less murdery in public.”He snorts. “You’re the murdery one.”Then his fingers curl in my hair. “You want to stay.” He sounds almost amazed, which just blows my mind completely. I’m so in love with him I can barely see straight. Where else could I possibly want to be?“Yes,” I say, and the simple truth of it makes me smile. “I want to stay. With you.”“Then you do,” he says. “This is your room as much as mine now.”“Dangerous promise,” I say. “I leave dirty

AlexeiThe next day feels endless. My head is full of Kieran on his knees, face flushed, eyes wide, taking what he wants because I told him to.Highly distracting, would not recommend for productivity. Ten out of ten, will do it again.The guard outside his door keeps his eyes politely forward as I approach. He knows better than to comment when I don't even try to look like I'm here on official business.I slip inside and shut the door. He’s not at the desk this time.He’s sitting sideways on the bed, back propped against the headboard, bare feet tucked under him, still half-dressed. He’s holding one of his ledgers, but it’s closed, lying spine-up on his knees like a prop he forgot to put down.There’s a little crease between his brows. A thinking line that appears whenever something’s bothering him.He looks up when I come in and the crease immediately disappears. My heart soars.“Hey,” he says, quietly.“Hey,” I echo.Look at us. Terrible, terrifying wolves. Masters of language and
A Different Kind of Alpha: Blood Oath Chapter 102 – The Lesson
AlexeiBy the time the bells mark the last change of the watch, the keep feels like it’s holding its breath. And I’m standing outside Kieran’s door, trying not to overthink knocking.“Come in,” he calls.His voice does that thing to my spine it always does now. Possessive, even through wood.I push the door open and find him not in bed, but at his desk.For a change though, the desk is clear. No ledgers. No maps. Just a single candle, a neatly coiled length of soft rope, and a folded piece of dark cloth.He’s ditched his usual fancy clothes for something looser. A simple dark shirt, sleeves rolled to the elbows, black trousers, bare feet. His hair is damp from the shower.He looks like sin and sleeplessness and something perilously close to happily ever after.He leans back in his chair, studying me.“You’re late,” he says.“I’m right on time,” I counter. “The bells just rang.”“Late,” he repeats with a shake of his head.I shut the door without taking my eyes off him.“Then punish me
