The Heart of the Pack 2

Draven's POV

When Auren finally drifted to sleep against Nyra's shoulder, I rose carefully. His small hand still clutched her shirt. I stepped back into the hall. The scent of herbs and blood hit me again, but now it felt purposeful rather than desperate. This was healing, not dying.

I moved among my people. I offered words where they were needed. A hand on a shoulder here. A nod there. Small gestures but faces lit up at each one. They needed to see their Alpha. Not just the warrior who had fought beside them but the leader who would guide them through whatever came next.

"Alpha." Marcus approached. His brother now rested on one of the cots. Conscious and arguing with Lydia about getting back to patrol duty. "The eastern edge is secure, no sign of Kael's forces regrouping yet."

"Good. How are they injured?"

"Three lost, sir, Good wolves, all of them." His jaw tightened. "But the rest will heal." Lydia said. "We will have most of them back on their feet within t

    The Heart of the PackDraven's POVThe battlefield still smelled of blood and iron when the sun finally broke over the ridge. Gold light poured across the torn up earth. It touched the bodies of fallen rogues and our own injured wolves. My wolf wanted to pace and prowl the edges for threats. But the Alpha in me had other duties now."Get the wounded into the hall," I ordered. My voice was rough from hours of shifting and fighting. "Everyone else holds the line until I give the signal, Kael is hurt but not gone."Warriors nodded and began the slow work of carrying their brothers and sisters off the field. The pack moved like one body. Tired but determined. I watched Marcus lift his injured brother onto his shoulder. Blood seeped through the torn fabric but neither of them made a sound. That was what we were. We did not break even when broken.The energy was different from the panic of the morning. Now it was steadier. A tired but strong heartbeat. I could feel it through the pack bond.

    Bloodlines and BattlefieldsDraven's POVThe air changed before the first horn sounded.It was not the breeze or the morning mist rolling over the trees. It was something deeper. Heavier. Like a weight pressing down on my neck. My wolf stirred inside me, restless.By the time the warning call rang out across the border, I was already pulling my shirt on. I grabbed my blade. The leather handle felt familiar in my hand.Kael had come.I knew he would show up someday. Men like Kael never quit. They keep coming back for what they think is theirs. But his timing sucked. We had just gotten through hell. Nyra and I had just fixed what we almost broke. Now this.Nyra was still getting dressed when I turned around. Her eyes met mine. They were sharp like steel, but I saw the fear hiding underneath. Not for herself. For our people. For Auren.I crossed the room fast. I put my hands on her face and pressed my forehead to hers. "Stay with Lydia and Auren. Keep them safe until I,""No." She cut me

    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

    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
