Sylvie's POV

I ran.

A silent, desperate sprint of a creature that had just seen the trap snap shut. The image of my mother on her knees, the red brand of my father’s hand on her face, chased me through the dark corridors. It was more than horror. It was a blueprint. A preview of the life that awaited me—a life of quiet kneeling, of accepting brutality dressed as duty, of having my own will hammered into submission until it was a useful, shape.

I didn’t stop until I was back in my room, the door

  • A Dorm With My Alpha Mate    Chapter One Hundred and Forty - The Reckoning

    Malrick's POVSleep had finally come, heavy and dreamless, pulling me under after hours of staring at the dark and feeling the wrongness press against my chest. I'd surrendered to it reluctantly, knowing I needed rest, knowing tomorrow would bring whatever it brought.I didn't expect it to bring a blade.The pain woke me before my eyes could open. White-hot, shocking, tearing through the fog of sleep like lightning through clouds. Something cold and sharp buried itself in my shoulder—deep, so deep I felt it scrape against bone.My eyes opened and Bren stood over me.His face was a mask of rage and grief and something else—something broken that had finally shattered. Tears streamed down his cheeks, but his eyes were dry, burning with a hatred so pure it took my breath away. The blade in his hand dripped with my blood."You," he breathed. I opened my mouth to speak—to say something, anything—but he was already moving again. The blade rose, caught the faint light from the dying embers,

    Bren's POV"Bren." Kai's voice, low and careful. The voice you use with wounded animals and broken people. "Look at me."I didn't look."Bren, we need to talk about this. We need to understand what happened."I understood what happened. Malrick happened. Malrick happened to my family, to my childhood, to every peaceful moment I'd ever tried to build in the years since. Malrick happened, and now he sat at the other end of this hall, watching me like I was a problem to be solved, like I was the villain in this story instead of him."Get him out of here," I said. My voice flat "Get him out of my sight, or I can't promise—""Bren." Kai's hand touched my shoulder. "We'll figure this out. Together. But you need to calm down first."Calm down.The words were so stupid, so useless, so completely wrong that I almost laughed. Almost. The sound that came out instead was something between a sob and a snarl, and I saw Kai flinch.Calm down!? While the man who murdered my family sat twenty feet awa

  • A Dorm With My Alpha Mate    Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Eight - The Truth of Malrick

    Bren's POVThe memory hit me like a blade between the ribs.One moment I was floating in that grey space where nothing existed—no pain, no fear, no thought. The next, I was drowning in images I'd buried so deep I thought they'd never surface.But they did. They always do.I saw the house first. Small, wooden, smoke rising from the chimney. My mother—my adopted mother, I knew now—stood in the doorway, wiping her hands on her apron, smiling at something my father had said. My little sister chased a chicken across the yard, her laughter bright as bells.I was there too. Small. Maybe six years old. Sitting on the steps, whittling a stick with a knife my father had given me for my birthday.It was ordinary. Perfect. The kind of moment you don't appreciate until it's gone.And then it was gone.Horses. Thunder in the distance, becoming louder. My father's face changing—smile fading, eyes narrowing. He stepped forward, putting himself between the approaching wolves and his family.There were

  • A Dorm With My Alpha Mate    Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Seven - Bren Wakes

    Aria's POVThe infirmary was quiet for the first time in days.I moved between the cots on autopilot, checking bandages, adjusting pillows, noting temperatures and pulses with the detached efficiency that exhaustion brought. My hands knew the motions even when my mind was elsewhere—counting supplies, tallying the wounded, running through the list of who still needed treatment and who could be moved to the main hall.Most of the wounded were stable now. Fen's arm would heal. Liv's head wound had left her with a headache but no lasting damage. Tor's thigh needed another day of rest before he could walk without help. Koren's ribs were bruised but not broken—Mira had done well with the binding.One—an older wolf whose name I hadn't learned—had died in the night. His wounds had been too deep, too infected, too far gone even for the black moss poultice. I'd covered his face and moved on. There was nothing else to do. The dead didn't need me. The living did.Bren lay in the corner cot, still

    Malrick's POVThe stone was cold under my palms, I liked it like that anywayI stood on the wall, alone, staring out at the darkness beyond our borders. The night was quiet—too quiet, maybe, after everything that had happened. The kind of quiet that made your skin prickle and your hand reach for a blade that was already there.Behind me, the pack slept. Or tried to. I could hear them through the open windows of the hall—the soft sounds of exhausted rest, the occasional moan from the wounded, the murmur of someone talking in their sleep. They'd earned their rest. Fought hard, bled hard, lost friends and found fathers and somehow kept moving forward.I should have been among them, should have found a corner, closed my eyes, let the exhaustion take me but every time I tried, something pulled me back, a prickly feeling I just couldn't shake off Something wasn't over.I didn't know what. Alistair was dead—I'd seen the body, watched them burn it with the others. His forces were scattered,

  • A Dorm With My Alpha Mate    Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Five - The First Night

    Kai's POVI couldn't sleep.The ceiling above me was the same one I'd stared at for years—wooden beams, smoke-darkened, familiar as my own heartbeat. But tonight it looked different. Everything looked different.Beside me, Aria breathed slow and steady, her body curled toward mine, one hand resting on my chest. She'd fallen asleep within minutes of lying down, exhaustion finally claiming her after hours of tending wounds and organizing supplies and holding the pack together. I was glad she could rest. Glad someone could.I stared at the beams and tried to feel something.Alistair was dead.I'd watched Sylvie drive the blade into his throat. Watched the life drain from his eyes. Watched the monster who'd haunted our family for years become just another corpse on the floor.And I felt... nothing.Not relief. Not joy. Not even the satisfaction I'd imagined whenever I'd dreamed of this moment. Just hollow. Empty. Like someone had scooped out everything inside me and left only the shell.I
