The next morning, a knock sounded against the door. Rey stiffened, her first instinct was to ignore it, but when it swung open, it revealed the same she-wolf from the day before.

"The Alpha requests your presence in the dining hall for breakfast," the woman said evenly, stepping inside to place neatly folded clothes on the chair by the window. "These are for you and the boy."

Rey's tongue was ready with venom, ready to tell her to pass along a message to the Alpha that he could go shove it, but

  • Alpha Orion   FORTY ONE

    Rey and Beau spent the rest of the day after the tense breakfast with Orion cooped up in the room, and while he sat by the windowsill looking out into the woodlands and watching the occasional Lycans that passed by, she wore a path into the floorboards with her nervous pacing. Beau had noticed this but stayed quiet the whole time, turning to watch her with that careful, small-fry frown he wore when something puzzled him. "You seem anxious, Rey. Is something wrong?" Beau's gentle voice stunned her across the room. She stopped, glancing up to meet his gaze, a smile tugging at her lips as she tried to hide the fact that she was so nervous she couldn't possibly sit still. "No, there's nothing wrong," she murmured, closing the distance and taking a seat just beside him with a small sigh. She glanced toward the closed door, then leaned in and took his hand. His fingers were warm and small in hers. She briefly wondered how she'd gone so long without the warmth of his touch. "I'm just ner

    The next morning, a knock sounded against the door. Rey stiffened, her first instinct was to ignore it, but when it swung open, it revealed the same she-wolf from the day before."The Alpha requests your presence in the dining hall for breakfast," the woman said evenly, stepping inside to place neatly folded clothes on the chair by the window. "These are for you and the boy."Rey's tongue was ready with venom, ready to tell her to pass along a message to the Alpha that he could go shove it, but she bit it back at the last moment.She wasn't acting on her own anymore. Beau was with her now, and if she wanted her escape plan to work, she had to play along, like the obedient little human. So instead, she nodded stiffly, the words burning unsaid on her tongue.Once they had changed into the fresh clothes, which were strangely fitted to her exact size, Rey took Beau's hand and stepped out into the hall. A Lycan guard was waiting outside and saying nothing; he turned, leading them deeper in

  • Alpha Orion   THIRTY NINE

    The sound of the door opening in the middle of the night stirred Rey awake. If there was one thing being on the run for most of her life taught her, it was to always sleep with one eye open.Her eyes snapped open in the darkness, just as the door shut. Soft footsteps creaking across the floorboards followed.She lay stiff under the fur covers, her back to the intruder, every muscle coiled tight as she gripped the pen she'd found in one of the drawers beneath the pillow.Just as she felt the air shift, like a hand coming closer, she moved, fast and precise. She struck upward, aiming for flesh, but a strong grip caught her wrist mid-thrust.She jolted upright, wrenching her wrist free and flicking on the lamp switch. Dim light flooded the room, and her eyes snapped up to meet a familiar Lycan face.Rey's chest tightened as she shuffled back against the headboard, subtly positioning herself to shield Beau's sleeping form behind her. Her grip on the pen tightened, ready to plunge it into

  • Alpha Orion   THIRTY EIGHT

    By the next morning, Orion's small convoy of five Lycan warriors set out. The priestess had provided a sturdy carriage, where Rey and Beau sat together, while the Alpha and his men rode on horseback.But instead of retracing the road that led toward Clan One, their path carried them deeper north.The journey ended in Clan Seven, where Chieftain Seth received them at his vast log cabin, the structure looming like a fortress against the wild pines.Through it all, Orion kept his distance, and she was grateful for that. He did not attempt to speak to her, but his gaze lingered, steady, heated and impossible to ignore as a she-wolf guided Rey and her brother away toward the guest quarters.Only then did he turn, finding Seth's eyes fixed on him with a look too guarded to read."Where are they?" Orion asked, turning fully and pulling the black leather gloves off his hands."In my office, waiting," Seth replied. "This way, Alpha."Orion followed, his steps heavy against the polished wood. I

  • Alpha Orion   THIRTY SEVEN

    Rey jolted awake in a strange bed in a strange room illuminated only by the moon high up in the night sky, casting a silvery glow through the arched window onto the foot of the bed and nothing more, leaving the rest of the space shrouded in darkness.Her heart thundered against her ribs. She clutched her chest, dragging in shallow breaths as the memories came flooding back: blood on the walls, Erik's lifeless body, and Orion's hand closing around her arm.A sob tore at her throat as she shoved the soft comforter aside and swung her legs over the edge of the bed, trembling. She had to leave this place before the beast of an Alpha came back for her, before he decided to finish what he'd started.With trembling hands, she pushed off the bed, gripping the wooden frame to find her way through the darkness.Light flooded the room suddenly, and her gaze snapped across the room to the man sitting on an armchair by a lamp stand.Orion.She froze, her initial shock dissipating into anger border

  • Alpha Orion   THIRTY SIX

    Erik's roar cut off in a choking, animal sound as Orion's hand plunged into his chest and ripped his heart out. The world collapsed into a single, unbearable moment: the sick, wet sound of the once-beating organ hitting the floor and echoing faintly in the silence, the spray of red across the walls, and the violent shudder of Erik's body as it buckled against the Alpha's hold.Rey's cry split the chamber. She lunged, dagger raised, but the world slowed, every heartbeat dragging. Orion didn't release his grip, and Erik's eye, wild and desperate only seconds before, clouded over, dull and unseeing. His limbs sagged. The warmth in him fled, leaving nothing but a husk.He was gone.Erik crumpled in Orion's arms, cold and lifeless, and the sight hollowed something inside her.With a low groan, Orion's other hand, coated in blood, wrapped around the wooden stake buried in his gut. He ripped it out in one brutal motion, blood spilling in rivulets as the jagged wood clattered to the floor. He

  • Alpha Orion   TWENTY TWO

    The council chamber was heavy with smoke and silence, the air thick with the scent of burning resin from the braziers. Eight pairs of eyes watched Orion from the long stone table, their unease as tangible as the weight of his presence.Word of the Human Hunters' latest raid had reached every corner

    Miller's stomach dropped, his pulse stuttering in shock. If that was what he thought it was... then the Alpha hadn't just claimed her, he'd marked her and that changed everything.His mouth opened, then closed. His brows furrowing as deep lines creases his usually friendly face."He bit you?" he as

    Rey had never seen this part of the castle before.The air changed the moment she stepped into the Alpha's wing, as Raina had directed. It was heavier, charged, as if the very walls were holding their breath. Her footsteps were muted by a lush black carpet that stretched endlessly ahead.The corrid

    The infirmary's quiet didn't last long. Iver's heavy boots struck the floor in a rhythm that carried dread before him. Rey had barely pulled herself upright on the cot when his shadow fell across the doorway, with her back turned away behind the privacy curtains, she grabbed a scalpel off the tray
