I couldn't stop staring at the dead body.

The thing that used to be a man was now just... nothing. Dark blood pooled around his torn throat. His red eyes were empty and staring at the sky.

He'd been alive five minutes ago. Talking, moving and trying to kill me.

Now he was dead because of Axel.

Because Axel had turned into something else. Something with claws and fangs and deadly strength.

A werewolf.

My hands were shaking. My whole body was shaking. But it wasn't just from fear.

There was something else. Something that scared me more than the vampire had.

I'd liked watching Axel fight.

The violence. The blood. The way he'd moved like a predator. It should have horrified me.

Instead, it had made me feel... alive.

What kind of person did that make me?

"—right here, right now," Michael was saying.

I looked up to see him facing off with Axel. The other men were watching, waiting.

"You don't get to make that choice," Axel said. His voice was low and dangerous.

"I'm second in command. When

  • Alpha's Heat His To Ruin Hers To Heal   Chapter Ninety Three: Blood And Silver II

    The radio on Marcus's belt crackled to life. He grabbed it, tuning to the emergency frequencies our equipment could still pick up. The compound's radio worked because it was shielded by the same magic that protected us - a side benefit of the Shadowshield that let us monitor outside communications."...gang violence in the small town of Ravenridge..." the news anchor was saying. "Senator Blake Hart has called for increased federal law enforcement presence to address what he terms 'escalating criminal activity.'"My blood turned to ice. "Turn that up."Blake's voice filled the room. That smooth politician's tone that I was really really beginning to hate."The citizens of Ravenridge deserve better protection than local authorities can provide," he was saying. "I'm requesting federal assistance to restore order and safety to this community.""Son of a bitch," Jordan cursed. "He's using the failed mercenary attack to justify bringing in more forces.""Human forces," I said, understanding

    I stood in the medical bay doorway, watching silver light fill the room while Matron Ysara chanted over Jace's dying body. The ancient words made my teeth ache, like nails on a chalkboard but worse.Eden knelt beside the bed, her whole body shaking. Her arms were covered in fresh burns from the runes she'd carved into her own skin during the rescue. Blood seeped through the bandages Rikka had wrapped around the worst wounds. She looked like she might collapse any second, but her hands never left Jace's chest.The air tasted like copper pennies and something else. Something that reminded me of lightning before it strikes.Outside the windows, dawn was creeping over the compound. Everything felt different now. Like we were living inside a fortress that might fall at any moment. My chest felt tight, like someone was squeezing my ribs.Axel was still too weak to lead. Jace was dying. And somehow, everyone kept looking at me for answers I wasn't sure I had. Maybe I was imagining this part

    EdenI'd never heard Jordan sound like that. His usual calm was completely gone. Raw anger poured off him in waves that made everyone in the room step back."Jordan—" I started."No!" He stepped into the medical bay, his eyes blazing. "You disobeyed direct orders. You took unauthorized personnel into hostile territory. You risked three lives for one man!""He's not just one man," I said, my own temper flaring. "He's our beta. He's pack.""He's also one person!" Jordan's hands clenched into fists. "What if you'd all been killed? What if we lost our medic, our witch, and our Alpha's mate in one night? Then what?"Pack members were gathering in the hallway behind him. I could see their faces. Some looked angry. Some looked scared. All of them looked like they were choosing sides."We brought him home," Calla said quietly. She stood beside Jace's bed, her green eyes steady despite everything we'd been through. "That's what matters.""What matters is following orders," Jordan snapped. "Wha

    EdenMy arms were screaming by the time we reached the compound's outer fence.Jace's weight pressed between Calla and me as we stumbled through the pre-dawn darkness. Every step felt like walking through thick mud. My legs shook from the effort of keeping us hidden while helping carrying a grown man who was slowly dying in my arms.The rune on my palm had gone from burning pain to a dull ache that scared me more than the fire had. Through our connection, I could feel Jace slipping away bit by bit. His heartbeat was getting weaker and his breathing more shallow.Whatever those vampires had injected him with was spreading through his body like poison. Dark veins showed under his grayish skin, creeping up his neck toward his heart."How much further?" Calla whispered, adjusting her grip on Jace's arms over her shoulder."Almost there." I tried to sound confident, but my voice cracked.Behind us, Rikka limped along with her rifle ready to cover our behind. She'd been quiet for the last h

  • Alpha's Heat His To Ruin Hers To Heal   Chapter Eighty Nine: Forbidden Rescue

    I was sitting in my room trying to rest when the burning started.The rune on my palm flared to life, pain shooting up my arm like liquid fire. Something was wrong. Something was very very wrong with Jace.I ran outside just as Marcus and the others came crashing through the compound gates. Cole was leaning heavily on Rex, blood seeping through his shirt. Marcus looked like he'd been through hell.But Jace wasn't with them."Where is he?" I demanded, already knowing the answer would destroy me.Marcus met my eyes, his weathered face grim. "They got him. Ambush. We tried to fight them off but there were too many."The world tilted around me. Jace was captured. In vampire hands. Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck!"We have to get him back," I said immediately.Jordan appeared from the main hall, taking in our battered team with growing alarm. "What happened out there?"Marcus explained quickly to which I listened to with growing alarm on my face. The reconnaissance mission. The trap. How they'd barely

    The fact that he knew my name made my blood freeze."Marcus, take the others and get out of here," I said without taking my eyes off the vampire."I'm not leaving you.""That's an order."Marcus hesitated for a second, then nodded grimly. "We'll come back for you.""I know."The next few minutes were chaos. Gunfire, inhuman snarls, the sound of claws on metal. I fought like hell, but there were simply too many of them.When a silver net dropped over me, I knew it was over.The last thing I saw before the tranquilizer dart hit was Marcus and the others disappearing into the forest. At least they'd made it out.----I woke up in hell.The room was concrete and metal, lit by harsh fluorescent lights that made everything look dead. My hands were chained to a metal chair with what felt like silver-lined restraints.The vampire from the forest sat across from me, looking perfectly comfortable."Awake. Good. I was beginning to worry the dosage was too strong." He leaned forward with a predat
