“It wasn’t his touch that undid me. It was the space between us—waiting to be filled.”

The air crackled around me.

Kael's massive wolf form loomed over where I lay sprawled on the cold stone floor, my breath coming in broken, shallow gasps. His fur, a deep black threaded with silver, bristled as he hovered over me, muscles twitching violently under his skin with my mere touch.

The room around us seemed to shrink, the stone walls closing in until there was nothing but this moment, this creature, this unbearable tension. Moonlight spilled through the narrow window, casting his enormous shadow across my prone form. I could taste copper in my mouth from where I'd bitten my lip when I fell.

And then— With a guttural snarl that wasn't quite human— The shift began.

I watched, frozen, as the wolf's form contorted.

Bones cracked. Fur receded. The terrifying snarl twisted into something almost human as his body collapsed inward, reshaping with agonizing, shuddering force.

  • Alpha’s Rejected Healer   16- Touch the Fire

    “The storm outside had nothing on the one breaking inside this room.”Kael didn't move.Not when I ignored the screaming in my head telling me to leave.He stood there, shoulders heaving, his body tense as a drawn bowstring. The silence in the room was deafening, broken only by the sound of our labored breathing and the distant rumble of thunder outside. The storm that had been brewing all evening was finally breaking, and somehow it felt like a reflection of everything happening between us.The air was thick with more than just the approaching rain. Magic crackled invisibly around us, the bond that neither of us had asked for pulsing like a second heartbeat. I could feel it in my bones, in the very marrow of me, pulling me toward him even as every rational thought screamed at me to run.I watched him —Watched the way his hands clenched and unclenched at his sides, fighting some internal battle I couldn't begin to understand. The moonlight streaming through the tall windows cast silv

    A low whine escaped him—pure anguish, the sound a wounded animal makes when caught in a trap—and he jerked back suddenly, as if my skin had burned him, as if contact with me had been agony rather than ecstasy.The loss of his heat made me whimper before I could stop myself, my body instinctively trying to follow his, to maintain that precious connection that had felt like coming home.Kael stumbled a few steps away, fists clenched so tightly at his sides that I could see the tendons standing out in his forearms, could see the way his nails bit into his palms hard enough to draw blood.His chest heaved. His jaw locked. His entire body shook with the effort of denying what we both wanted.And he wouldn't look at me.Not because he didn't want to.Because if he did—if he gave in to the need burning in his eyes, if he let himself see the answering desire in mine—We both knew he wouldn't stop.Couldn't stop.Wouldn't want to stop.I lay there for a moment longer, trying to catch my breath

    Kael's body trembled with restraint, every muscle in his powerful frame taut as a bowstring as he slowly, carefully, lowered himself further, until the heat of his skin seared the few inches of air separating us and I could feel the whisper of his breath against my lips.I felt him everywhere.The scent of him—earth and pine and something darker, something uniquely him that spoke of midnight hunts and ancient forests and power beyond mortal comprehension—wrapped around me like a second skin, seeping into my pores, marking me with his essence. The heavy weight of his presence crushed down on my lungs, stole the air from my chest, made me dizzy with want and need and something that went beyond both.His eyes traced the curve of my face as if memorizing it, as if he were an artist and I were his masterpiece, lingering on my parted lips, the flush spreading across my cheeks, the rapid pulse beating in my throat. I could feel him in my mind, his consciousness brushing against mine through

    I took a hesitant step forward, my hands trembling at my sides. The magic still swirled around me, responding to my emotions—to the fear and concern and something deeper that I refused to name."Kael," I said again, louder now. My voice seemed to reach him through the haze of pain and transformation, his eyes focusing on me with desperate intensity.He shuddered violently, claws scraping against stone with a sound that set my teeth on edge. His body convulsed, another wave of incomplete transformation rippling through him. Bones shifted beneath skin, muscles stretched and contracted unnaturally.The air was thick with the scent of blood and magic and burning desperation.He was losing the battle.Losing himself.I had seen this before—once, long ago, in another wolf. A transformation gone wrong, a spirit caught between forms. It had not ended well. The memory sent ice through my veins, cold fear mixing with the heat of the bond."You're not alone," I said, my voice breaking on the wor
