The next morning, Kara arrived at work to find everything as it had been—quiet, routine, almost unsettlingly normal. But Dylan was nowhere to be found.

Murphy, one of her coworkers, shook his head when she asked. “Boss hasn’t been in for two days. No calls, no messages. Nothing.”

Kara only nodded, though something cold twisted in her gut. She buried herself in paperwork, pushing past the exhaustion clawing at her bones. Despite everything—the attacks, the shifting, the secrets—she still man

  • BITTEN   Felt like a breath before drowning

    Kara’s POV“What’s the update?”I didn’t look away from the screen, fingers still tapping against the edge of my laptop, but I could hear Rodrigo sigh on the other end of the call.“His usual routine,” he said. “Hasn’t left the golf club all morning.”Typical. Predictable bastard.“Alright. Keep your eyes on him. Call me the second anything shifts.”Click.I exhaled slowly, the kind of breath that never really settles your nerves, and stared at the mess on my screen. So many files. So many people trying to dig graves for us. ASA was falling apart, but not quietly. These bastards were determined to claw their way back up, and if they had their way, I’d be the one buried underneath.I could still feel the ghost of last night in my bones. Dylan bringing me back to the penthouse had been… complicated. There was a part of me that exhaled the moment I walked through that door, like my skin could finally unclench. But going back to the pack house?No. That would’ve been a mistake. Too many

  • BITTEN   Finding him would stitch some ragged edges back together

    Author’s PovThere was nothing hid forever under the sun — everyone knew that, even him. He sat alone at the head of the long table, a single ringed finger tapping the rim of a champagne glass in time with the sinking light. Outside the tall windows the sunset dragged the day along like a bruised curtain, folding gold into violet. Smoke from several smoldering cigarettes pooled in the rafters and blurred the edges of the room. In his other hand he turned a photograph over and over, the paper worn at the corners — the only remnant of a past that still burned.“Boss, we have news,” someone announced, voice brittle in the hush.“’Bout time,” he muttered, not looking up.They came in together: Adora first, a half-smile resting at the corner of her mouth like a practiced lie; Dave trailing behind her, teeth chattering as if the cold had crawled into his bones. Their footsteps made no sound against the Persian runner. Around the table, faces were shadowed, waiting.“Boss, you look like y

  • BITTEN   The boy inside him

    "I said I'm not hungry," I snapped, my voice sharper than I intended. It cut through the quiet of the room like a knife, raw and brittle.Rodrigo groaned from the hallway before pushing open the door to my old room, his familiar presence anchoring me in ways I didn’t want to admit."The maid mentioned that," he said dryly, stepping inside.The light from the tall window framed him in a hazy golden glow, highlighting the healing bruise on his bottom lip, a deep red that still hadn’t faded. I looked away quickly, guilt clawing at my chest. That bruise was my fault. He’d gotten caught in the crossfire between me and Dylan."You still need to eat something," he added, his voice lighter now, laced with that irritating gentleness. "You can’t face the world on an empty stomach."I met his eyes. That was my mistake. Because the worry I found there undid me. Rodrigo, my friend. My brother in everything but blood. The one who found me shattered and made a home for my broken pieces. I owed him m

  • BITTEN   The reason

    Kara’s POV“Kara, are you sure about this?”“Yes, I am. Follow him.”We were back in the car, the tension thick in the air as we trailed the red sports car that zoomed ahead on the highway. My gaze never left it for a second, eyes narrowed, jaw tight. Rodrigo drove a few safe miles behind, his fingers tapping the steering wheel in restrained anticipation.My gut never really failed me. Every time it clenched like this, every time that feeling crawled under my skin, I was right. And I felt it now, loud and urgent.We drove for nearly two long hours. The city lights faded behind us, swallowed by an eerie stillness as we entered the outskirts. He was leading us somewhere quiet… somewhere hidden.We arrived at a hospital. Old, forgotten. Standing in the shadow of trees, its exterior worn and crumbling like a relic of another time.“What could he be hiding in a hospital? And one like this?” Bryson asked, frowning.The place looked abandoned, overgrown vines clutching at broken walls, shatt

  • BITTEN   Mr Graves

    KARA POVThe room smelled of musk and tobacco. A dim amber light flickered from an antique lamp in the corner, casting long shadows across the wood-paneled walls. A fireplace, unused but grand sat behind the tall man standing before us.He looked like he’d stepped out of a mobster movie. Black hair slicked back, a perfectly trimmed mustache perched above his lips. The lines on his face spoke of years, but age hadn’t taken his charm. If anything, it sharpened him. He looked to be in his fifties, but he wore that age like armor proud, and untouchable.The smirk stretched across his lips like it had been carved there. Arrogant. Unbothered. Like nothing in this world could touch him.“You’re too late,” he said, voice smooth, careless.Bryson stepped forward, arms crossed tight. “What do you mean? Selene sent us to you.”The man’s eyes, dark and sharp like storm clouds before lightning, flicked to Bryson. “Then she sent you to the wrong person.”That glare, cold and calculated slid over

  • BITTEN   Running out of time

    KARA’S POVThe soft clang of metal echoed outside the window. I stood still, one hand resting against the cool glass, watching the guards train below. They moved with sharp focus, muscles taut with discipline. It was a simple scene routine, almost, but it grounded me for a moment. Gave me something to look at that wasn’t tied to the chaos in my heart.But my thoughts didn’t stay there.They pulled me back—back to earlier, back to the look on Dylan’s face when I gave the order to release Nia.His silence had said everything. The tight line of his jaw, the flash of betrayal in his eyes, the way his whole body went still. He hadn’t argued. He didn’t need to. I’d felt the weight of his disappointment press into my chest, even as I stood firm.I had to do it. There was no other way.Nia was still family, whether Dylan wanted to accept that or not. She was Theon’s mate. Killing her, keeping her locked away... it wouldn’t fix anything. It wouldn’t make me safer, wouldn’t make the bond strong

  • BITTEN   I need you inside me

    Dylan's POVThe night air was cool, but she burned against me.Kara sobbed in my arms, her face buried in my chest, and I held her like she was all that tethered me to the earth. Her tears soaked through my shirt, but I didn’t care—I’d let her cry for hours if that’s what she needed. She was safe n

  • BITTEN   Ceremony of Shadows

    Two days had passed since that night on Dylan’s balcony—the night when my body had said yes while my soul screamed not yet. He hadn’t pressured me since, hadn’t even brought it up, but the silence between us buzzed with things unsaid. And I knew—I knew—I couldn’t run from the truth forever. I need

    Author’s POVThe moment Tiffany’s smug smirk faltered under the weight of Old Man Gasper’s fury, the entire hall seemed to hold its breath.“Guards, seize her and throw her into the old cells!” Gasper thundered, his voice reverberating off the high stone walls of the banquet hall. His hand shot out

  • BITTEN   Ghosts of the past

    The scent hit me first. Cedarwood—warm and sharp—cutting through the artificial gloss of cologne and perfume that filled the hall. But it wasn’t just that. Beneath it, a thread of something raw and wild curled into my lungs. And then I saw him.He walked through the double doors like the room belo
