AFTER THE DIVORCE, THE ALPHAS MADE THEIR CLAIMS ON ME. CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE
No Good Time for ThisNina’s POVTraining with Kaiden the next morning was unbearable.Not because he was cruel. That would have been easier.Kaiden was worse. He was calm.Perfectly composed in the specific, infuriating way that made every silence feel deliberate and every look feel like a judgment he was too disciplined to voice.I would have almost preferred yelling. It was infuriating. And useful.Within minutes, sweat was already gathering at the base of my spine, and every loose, frayed thought in my head had been burned out by the singular necessity of not getting knocked flat on my back.Kaiden drove me hard. Harder than he had in weeks.Every opening I left, he punished. Every hesitation, he exploited. Every lapse in focus, he turned into a bruising correction.When I missed a block and he clipped my shoulder hard enough to sting, I hissed and stepped back.“What the hell was that?”Kaiden reset his stance. “You dropped your guard.”“Because you’re trying to take my head off.

What Came BeforeAxel’s POVAxel knew they knew the second they walked in.Neither looked angry.That would have been easier. Anger was simple. Predictable.This was worse.Kieran looked controlled in the particular way he only ever did when violence had already been considered and temporarily set aside in favor of restraint.Kaiden looked calm. Which was, somehow, more dangerous.Axel had known both men long enough to understand that neither expression promised anything easy.He set the book down on the blanket across his lap and leaned back against the pillows. Because, despite appearances, getting stabbed remained deeply inconvenient.Axel glanced between them.“Should I be concerned?”“Yes,” Kieran said flatly.Kaiden said nothing. Which, in its own way, was answer enough.Axel looked at them for a long second. Then nodded once. “Right.”There was too much intent in the silence that followed. He had expected this eventually. He had simply hoped for more time.Apparently, that had

What the Bond DemandsNina’s POVBy the time I found Kaiden, I already knew I was too late to make this graceful. Not that there had ever been a graceful version of this conversation.That illusion had died somewhere between Kieran’s expression in the courtyard and the sharp, ugly weight of hearing my own choices said out loud.I should have told them sooner. I knew it in the same cold, immediate way I knew no version of tonight ended cleanly.Kaiden was exactly where he said he’d be.He looked up the second I stepped into the ring. Kaiden always looked still until the moment you realized he’d already noticed everything.By the time I stopped in front of him, the silence had already sharpened into something deliberate.Then looked at me and said, “It’s Axel.”There it was. The last fragile illusion of control is gone in one sentence.I exhaled slowly.“Yes.”The silence stretched too long.I crossed my arms because I needed something to do with them. “You already knew.”“I knew enough

The Shape of AvoidanceNina’s POVAvoiding Axel had been difficult.Avoiding Kaiden and Kieran was worse.Axel, at least, was one problem.Kaiden and Kieran were different. Not because they were harder to evade.Because they noticed everything. I now had to think before walking into a room with either of them because guilt had become its own kind of tell.That was the problem.Not the bond. Not even the fact that I had kissed Axel and kept going back. The problem was that I was already bound to the other two.Enough that every shift in my emotional state hummed too close to the edges of their instincts.Enough that if I stayed in a room with either of them too long, I became acutely aware of exactly how much I was not saying.So I adapted.I stopped going to training. That had been the first mistake.Kaiden noticed the second missed session. Kieran noticed because Kaiden noticed.And Ryan noticed because apparently everyone in my life had developed a deeply irritating collective hobby

The Cost of BloodNina’s POVThe heads were sent before sundown.Ryan made sure of it personally.By dusk, ten severed heads had been packed in iron crates lined with burlap and blood-soaked cloth, loaded onto two trucks, and sent north with one surviving runner shackled in the back and just enough breath left in him to deliver the message.Ryan had wanted to nail one to the front gate for dramatic effect. Kaiden, disturbingly practical as ever, had pointed out that sending all ten was more efficient and significantly more difficult for Nate to ignore.In the end, practicality won. By the time the trucks rolled out, the entire lower courtyard had gone quiet.The kind of quiet that spread when a pack watched its Alpha choose blood and understood something fundamental had shifted.No one said it. They didn’t need to.I felt it anyway.In the way, guards stood straighter. In the way conversations stopped when I passed. the way no one met my eyes too long.By the time I stepped back into

A Message in BloodNina’s POVThey brought in six more before dawn.By sunrise, there were eight.By noon, ten.Rogue wolves.Two barely old enough to grow beards and one old enough to know better, all caught lurking too close to our borders with Nate’s scent on them and lies already loaded on their tongues.They were dragged into the lower holding cells, bloodied, snarling, and arrogant enough to think they still had room to negotiate.They didn’t.I stood in the cell corridor with my arms crossed, staring through iron bars at the ten men who had spent the last week circling my borders and waiting for another opening.Waiting for another weakness.One of them spat blood on the floor and smiled at me through split lips.“Alpha.”The title sounded like an insult in his mouth.I stared at him.He smiled wider. “Nate says…”“Cut his tongue out.”The words left me flat. Cold.The rogue froze.So did everyone else in the corridor.Then Ryan, standing at my right, let out one slow breath th

BLOOD AND BROTHERSAxel’s POVI found Ryan where I expected him to be.He stood in the center of the ring with his jacket tossed aside, shirt clinging to him with sweat, knuckles raw as he'd already been hitting something. Or someone. The air around him was tight with anger, sharp enough that even

AFTER THE SMILE FADESNina’s POVI didn’t realize how tightly I’d been holding myself together until the pack gates came into view.The moment the familiar stone walls rose ahead of us, something inside me loosened, and everything else rushed in to take its place.The threat. Nate’s voice, calm and

WHAT THE BODY REMEMBERSNina’s POVI didn’t go back to my room right away.After Axel left me at the edge of the grounds, I stayed there a little longer, staring at the trees like they might give me answers if I waited long enough. The argument still rang in my ears, not his anger, but the concern

FAULT LINESNina’s POVSleep didn’t come easily.My thoughts refused to quiet. Ryan’s words echoed, steady and unyielding, the promise he’d laid at my feet like a shield I hadn’t known I needed.I lay there staring at the ceiling until Lina shifted restlessly inside me.You’re grinding your teeth,
