LOGINIn Ironhaven, power belongs to the wolves and Alpha Kael Blackthorn rules them all with blood and fear. Feared by enemies and obeyed by his pack, Kael has spent years fighting the shadow of a deadly prophecy that promises the fall of the Blackthorn line. Then she walks into his territory. Hunted, broke, and hiding powers she barely understands, Ivy never meant to step into the den of the most dangerous Alpha alive. But the moment their eyes meet, something ancient awakens between them a bond neither of them can break. Her power burns like a storm. His wolf answers like thunder. The prophecy says the woman who carries fire in her veins will either save the Blackthorn pack… or destroy it completely. But while enemies close in and rogue wolves circle their territory, Kael and Ivy must learn to trust the very bond they both fear. Because if the prophecy is right, loving each other may be the only way to survive. And the fastest way to lose everything.

They’re not hiding anymore.”Of course they weren’t.This wasn’t infiltration.This was escalation.I turned, already moving. “Seal the inner gates. Wake everyone. No one moves alone.”The wolf nodded and took off without another word.Behind me, I heard Ivy’s footsteps hesitate for half a second.Then follow.Good.At least she was learning.The hall blurred past as I cut through the corridors, muscle memory taking over. Stone walls, torchlight, shadow—this place was carved into me. I knew every turn, every choke point, every place an enemy could use against us.And right now—They were using all of them.A distant crash echoed from below.Metal on stone.A scream followed.Short.Cut off.I didn’t slow.“Kael—” Ivy’s voice came from be
IVY’S POVI didn’t sleep.Not really.I lay on a bed that wasn’t mine, in a place that didn’t feel real, staring at a ceiling carved from stone instead of cheap plaster, listening to a silence that wasn’t silence at all.It breathed.Shifted.Watched.Every creak of the hall, every distant echo, every whisper of wind slipping through broken doors—it all felt like a countdown.To what, I didn’t know.But my body did.It stayed tense.Ready.Wrong.I turned onto my side, pulling the rough blanket tighter around me.Didn’t help.Nothing helped.Because even when everything else went quiet—He didn’t.The bond pulsed.Slow.Steady.Constant.Kael.Somewhere in the hall. Awake. Moving. Thinking.Always thinking.I squeezed my eyes shut.“I hate this,” I whispered.The bond didn’t respond.Of course it didn’t.It just… existed.Like a second heartbeat I never asked for.After a while—minutes, hours, I couldn’t tell—I gave up.Sleep wasn’t coming.Not tonight.I pushed myself up, swinging my
KAEL’S POVShe came back.I knew she would.Not because of the bond—though it pulsed the second she crossed back into the hall, steady and undeniable—but because of the way she’d looked before she walked out.Torn.People like that didn’t run.Not yet.I didn’t turn when I heard her footsteps behind me.Didn’t acknowledge her return.If she stayed, it had to be her choice.Not mine.The fire cracked low in the hearth, shadows stretching across the stone floor as I stood near the long table, hands braced against its edge, head lowered.Thinking.Calculating.Failing to find a solution I didn’t already hate.“They’re still out there.”Her voice broke the silence.Quiet.Tired.But steady.“I know,” I said.She stepped closer.I could feel it—the shift in air, the subtle warmth that came with her presence, the way the bond reacted like something relieved.Annoying.“Then why does it feel like you’re not doing anything about it?”I straightened slowly, turning to face her.“Because chargi
IVY’S POVBy the time we made it back inside, the silence felt heavier than the fight.Not the good kind of silence—the kind that lets you breathe.This one pressed.Watched.Judged.The hall of the Blackthorns looked the same as before—stone, fire, shadows—but something had shifted. Maybe it was me. Maybe it was the way the doors now hung broken, letting the cold night bleed into a place that was supposed to be untouchable.Safe.If this place was safe, I didn’t want to see dangerous.Kael didn’t speak as we walked in.Didn’t look at me either.That should’ve made things easier.It didn’t.Because I could still feel him.The bond hadn’t quieted after the fight—it had changed. Slower now. Heavier. Like something settling into place that neither of us could undo.I hated it.I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to block it out.Didn’t work.“Say something,” I muttered.Kael stopped walking.Slowly, he turned.His eyes found mine, gold dimmed but still too sharp, too aware.“What do
