The Hunt for a Mother's Child

Nyra's POV

The forest went on forever. Every tree cast another shadow taller than the last, every branch reached out like fingers trying to grab me. My chest hurt from running, but it was not my legs that were tired. It was my heart. Each beat hammered out his name. Auren. His name banged around in my head like someone beating a drum.

I could feel him. That link between mother and child pulled at me like rope tied to my bones, dragging me forward, making me keep going even when my breathing turned rough. He was close. Not close enough to grab me, but it was close enough to make my heart pound.

The bushes cracked under my boots as I pushed another wall of thorns. Blood was running down my arms where the sharp points cut me, but I did not care. Pain was not close to me to knowing my kid was stuck somewhere in the woods, scared and all by himself. Every time I thought of his face, how he would squeeze my hand when storms came, I ran faster.

"Nyra."

  • Alpha Draven's Regret: The Return of His Rejected Mate   Chapter 119

    Unbreakable Bond 2Draven's POVDawn came into the room in thin golden lines. It caught in the curtains and warmed the edges of the sheets around us. For a moment, I did not move. I lay there, and stared at Nyra's face resting on my chest. Her breathing was soft and steady. The world outside could burn, but here in this warm quiet space I finally remembered what peace felt like.Her hair fell across my skin like dark silk. I found myself running my fingers through it slowly, carefully. I was scared that touching her too hard might break the magic. My wolf was quiet for once. Not restless, not growling for control. Just happy, humming with joy because she was here. She was wrapped in my arms and mine again.The smell of her filled my nose with every breath. Vanilla and something wild, something that was just her. I had missed it more than I let myself think about. During those dark weeks when everything fell apart, I would catch hints of it on the pillows or in the halls. It would almo

  • Alpha Draven's Regret: The Return of His Rejected Mate   Chapter 118

    Unbreakable BondNyra's POVIt had been a week since the chaos. A week since, Selene was taken away to the quiet exile of the Elder village. A week since Auren had been pulled back from the edge of Zaira's grasp. He was recovering gradually with enough strength, with the help of herbs, healing hands, and time.But the bruises left behind that were invisible were hard to heal.I had carried that weight with me every hour of every day. I sat by Auren's bedside until sleep finally forced me down. I woke in the middle of the night, and my heart was beating fast. I expected to see shadows at the window. I watched Draven moving around the pack like a man carrying a heavy weight on his shoulders. The Alpha, always watching, always steady, even when I knew his insides were shaking just like mine.The pack house feels different now. People were talking in quiet voices when they thought no one was listening. Children stayed closer to their parents. Even the morning training had a sharp edge to

    The Weight of ChoicesNyra's POV The walk back home was heavy and quiet. Each step reminded me of how much had changed. Auren leaned on me, his weight was a steady press at my side, but I could not complain. His breathing was deep and uneven. Every few minutes his lips opened as if he wanted to speak, but no words came out. I held him tighter and close to me, saying words that were not meant only for him but for myself too. He would get better. I would not lose him. Everything we had been through had not been for nothing.Behind us, Selene was carried by two men. Her body hung loose. Her once proud frame was now nothing but a weak shell. Her eyes moved around, alive with fear and shame that no loss of movement could cage. She could not move, but she could see. That seemed worse than death itself. For the first time, I almost pitied her. Almost.The village lights came into view. They were faint spots of light against the dark night. Relief washed through me, though it was shallow and

    The Cost of PowerNyra's POVZaira hissed as she pulled herself up. Her perfect hair was messy now. Her nice dress was torn. Her lips were split with blood running down her chin. But her eyes burned with anger. She looked like a wild animal backing into a corner. Beautiful and deadly.She stuck her hand forward. Power gathered into a sharp spear of light. The weapon hummed with energy and crackled like something alive. I could feel the heat from across the room.Selene stumbled next to her, shaking. Her face was white as milk. She seemed lost from the blast. Confused. For a moment she looked like the little girl she used to be. Scared and looking for someone to tell her what to do. But when Zaira grabbed her arm and pulled her forward, I knew what was coming."No," I said quietly. I knew what was coming. I had seen Zaira use this trick before.Zaira pushed Selene in front of her enemies, using her as a shield. Selene cried out. Her voice was high and scared. Her body locked up as the

    Auren's FlameNyra's POVThe trees grew thicker, air growing thick around us, as though the trees themselves wished to conceal what was to be. Every step down the path to the hidden sanctuary of Selene and Zaira seemed as if we stepped into the open mouth of a monster. The wards loomed above us; I could feel them. A crawling trembled over my skin, a hum in the air that wasn't of the natural world. It was magic, wicked and intentional, woven to frighten away and confuse.There were ancient pines that towered above, their branches twisted into sickening forms that glared down on our approach. There was underbrush that stood still, no bird singing, no running of small creatures. Even the wind refused to blow, as if nature herself was holding her breath in anticipation of what was to follow."We're here," Draven breathed, his eyes sweeping through the darkness. His hand stayed beside mine, not on me, but close enough that its warmth pierced in through me. "Keep your wits about you."Like
