Jaxon

The echo of my boots against the polished wooden stairs broke the evening silence as I descended into the main hall. The moon streaming in through the wide windows painted soft lines across the floor, but I barely noticed. My gaze had already found Ronan standing by the corner, speaking in low tones with Kara.

Their heads were close. Kara’s expression looked tight, a little too serious for gossip. Ronan's shoulders were drawn, and the moment I stepped off the last stair, Kara’s eyes widened.

She bowed quickly and made herself scarce.

Something was definitely off.

I strode toward Ronan, keeping my steps slow but purposeful. "What’s going on?"

Ronan hesitated—never a good sign. His usually sharp tongue now caught in his throat, eyes darting to the side.

“Ronan?” I said more firmly.

He straightened. “Alpha Jaxon… we just received a message from Alpha Deric.”

My body tensed involuntarily at the name. “And?”

He exchanged a glance with Kara, who had just entered the hall. I crossed my

    Jaxon The intel came in just past dawn. I was in the training yard, shirt soaked with sweat, fists wrapped in leather. Talon stood at the edge of the ring, arms folded, his expression unreadable. He didn’t say anything until I threw the final punch, letting the punching bag swing wildly like it had a grudge against me. “My instincts was right,” he said flatly. “Bloodmoon really planted a spy.” I stilled, my chest heaving, my heartbeat louder than his words. “Who?” I asked, unwrapping my hands slowly, like I needed something physical to focus on. “A name.” He hesitated, just enough for it to itch beneath my skin. “I don’t have one yet.” His eyes moved. “I don’t want to jump to conclusions without evidence.” I sighed. At this point, I don’t even want to hear anything about spies and intels, if I can’t find them. It almost looked like imaginary spies that don’t exist, because how come there is never a name? But Talon wasn’t the type to waste my time with guesswork. If he was sa

    Elvira I didn’t know how long I’d been sitting in the bath, water long gone cold. My fingers were wrinkled, my skin pale, but I hadn’t moved. I couldn’t. Every time I closed my eyes, I felt his hands again, Jaxon’s, burning and soft all at once. The way he had looked at me, when I screamed. That moment, that kiss, the heat crawling through my veins… until it turned to fire. Painful, soul-ripping fire. The bond flared like it wanted to kill me. My scream still rang in my ears. I curled my knees to my chest and gritted my teeth. What’s happening? Something was wrong with our bond, and it wasn’t just the usual mating confusion. This seems darker. I could still feel his hand trembling as he pulled away from me last night, the haunted look in his eyes as I collapsed against him, crying in confusion and pain. A soft knock startled me. “Elvira?” Brielle’s voice came through the door. “You’ve been in there forever. Are you okay?” “Yeah. Just give me a second,” I croaked. I dried off q

    Deric It was my 27th birthday today, and I wasn’t having it. To be honest, I hadn’t felt less celebrating a day that was supposed to be mine in years. The problems pressing down on my chest made it impossible to forget. It wasn’t about the passing of time, hell, I’d had birthdays before, ones filled with love and happiness. Today’s own was different. My father was dying. And there was nothing I could do about it. Not a damn thing. As if that weren’t enough, Eric’s situation had twisted itself into knots in my mind, and now, Ava kept asking me if I was okay, but I wasn’t. I hadn’t been for a long time. The rumble of the car’s engine only seemed to amplify the silence that lingered between us. Ava sat at the passenger sit, her eyes soft and observant, but she knew something was off. I hated how easily she could read me. I hated that I couldn’t just push it all aside and pretend to be fine. “You okay?” she asked, her voice pulling me from my thoughts. Her hand, warm and comforting,

    Brielle The marketplace was busy with activity, the air filled with the smell of fresh-baked bread and spiced meats. The vendors called out their wares in that familiar, rhythmic chant, each one trying to outdo the other for attention. I was here to shop, Elvira had sent me to the market to get her ingredients to make a lipgloss yesterday but I couldn’t go because it was late, and some of the vendors must’ve closed. I hadn’t been interested in any of these trinkets or baubles for a long time. I moved through the crowd, my eyes scanning, looking for the vendor. I paused by a stall, running my fingers over some handwoven scarves, pretending to be interested in the vibrant patterns. I’d seen them all a hundred times before, but it gave me an excuse to stay in place, to watch the crowd without drawing attention to myself. And then, I saw him. He was standing just a few paces away, near the fruit stand, his back to me. Elijah…..Tall, lean, the cut on his dark jacket sharp against the m

    JaxonI was done playing games.I’d danced around Elvira for too long, holding back when all I wanted was to consume her. Elvira had become the rhythm of my every thought, the ache in my chest, the fire under my skin. And I knew, I knew, she wanted me too.No more waiting. If I couldn’t have the bond, all of it, I didn’t want anything at all.I stormed through the halls, each step charged with purpose, hunger burning in my chest. Her scent still lingered on my clothes from yesterday morning, soft, citrus and vanilla. I hadn’t changed my clothes. I Couldn’t. I needed that scent with me, like an armor.I stopped at her door and inhaled once, grounding myself. But the moment I knocked, all my restraint cracked.The door opened slowly, and then, a smile. It lit up her face like a morning sunrise , softening her sharp features and making my heart stumble in my chest. But then, as quickly as it appeared, she hid it away, her expression tightening.“If you’re here to play with me again, Jaxo

    DericHave been hearing rumors about a witch in Clawshade, a remote area in Morrien, there resides an ancient, powerful witch who could heal anything, even the kind of cancer my father had. Stage 3, they’d told me. He was getting weaker with each passing day, and no doctor, no healer, no one in our pack had been able to stop it. There was no cure.But then, Clawshade. They’d said she could do it. They’d said she had a power that bent the laws of nature itself. Healing magic so pure, so potent, it could restore life itself.I couldn’t sit idly by, watching my father slip away. Queen felen was not an option now. So, I made the decision. I’d go to Clawshade. I’d seek out the witch and ask for her help. What was the worst that could happen? I’d heard of her powers, but I wasn’t naive enough to believe everything I’d been told.I took the trip alone, keeping my thoughts to myself. The drive was long, but the journey was mostly uneventful, until I reached Clawshade. The pack was quieter tha

    ElviraI was stepping out of Jaxon’s room, the door clicking shut softly behind me when I almost collided with Talon. My breath caught in my throat, and I took a quick step back, avoiding the bump.“Oh, sorry, Talon,” I muttered, forcing a small smile onto my lips, it’s a cover for the lingering confusion and excitement that had been swirling in my chest ever since Jaxon had pulled me so close.Talon raised an eyebrow, his usual smirk in place. “No harm done,” he said, though I could tell he’d noticed something in my face. Maybe it was the warm pink blush on my cheeks. He’d been teasing me, pushing me to the edge, and yet… it didn’t feel like torment. There was something, it finally felt real, like we’re finally getting along.I cleared my throat, forcing my thoughts back into place. I could feel the thudding of my heart in my chest. Jaxon’s proximity, his scent, his playfulness, it all left me breathless, almost dizzy with confusion. I shook my head as if to clear the lingering fog t

    JaxonI don’t even like tea that much.It’s not about the drink, it never was. I wanted Elvira in my space, around me, I wanted her inside me. Moving around my room. Watching her fight that ridiculous urge to act like she didn’t want to look at me, touch me. Goddess, it drove me wild.“Brielle,” I called, leaning lazily against the doorframe of the study room. My voice echoed down the hallway like a command. She turned, brows arched.“Yes, Alpha?”“Do me a favor.” I pretended to think. “Ask Elvira to bring me tea. Now.”She blinked. “You want her to—”“Yes.” My eyes locked with hers. “Her. Don’t bring it yourself. Don’t ask anyone else. I want Elvira to bring it.”She stood there a little too long, her mouth half open like she might protest. I didn’t give her the chance. My eyes hardened.“That wasn’t a request, Brielle.”She swallowed, nodded, and disappeared.I returned to my suite, ignoring the echo of my own heartbeat. The bed was still unmade, Elvira had left it in a rush this mo

    DericThe road blurred past the tinted windows as I sat stiffly in the backseat of the black SUV, my thoughts moving far faster than the car. I have a meeting with Jaxon in less than an hour, one I couldn’t afford to miss, but my phone buzzed again and again. I yanked my phone out of the pocket to see the name: Dad’s hospital. My hand clenched around the device before I answered. “Dr. Lim,” I said, voice flat, trying to brace myself.“There’s been a change, Alpha Deric,” she said gently, her voice pinched with exhaustion. “Your father’s vitals dropped earlier this morning. We stabilized him, but… we really need your presence. There are decisions that need to be made. Soon.”I pressed my fingers to my temple. “I’m in the middle of something. I’ll try to be there this evening.”A pause. “With all due respect, sir… he may not have until evening.”The line went quiet as she gave me time to absorb that.I didn’t say anything. I simply ended the call and leaned back against the leather sea
