The taste of ash hadn’t left Ronan’s mouth since the last vision. It clung to the back of his throat, a constant reminder that something was coming, something ancient, feral, and laced with vengeance. And it had Talia’s name written all over it.

He stood at the ridge above Puya, overlooking the dark swell of forest that blanketed the mountains below. His breath steamed in the early morning chill, but the cold couldn’t anchor the heat writhing under his skin. Every cell in his body screamed in anticipation of a hunt, of a threat, of a choice he wasn’t ready to make.

Behind him, branches crunched. He didn’t need to look. Elia’s steps were lighter than most, but he’d memorized the rhythm of her gait long ago.

“She’s worried about you,” Elia said quietly. “Talia.”

“I know,” he said. His voice was rough, too sharp around the edges. “I can’t shield her from this much longer.”

“You’re not meant to,” she said, stepping up beside him. “She’s stronger than

    Chapter Twenty-Two 🩵Ronan🩵 The morning sun hadn’t yet broken through the thick cloud cover blanketing Puya Ridge, but the clearing buzzed with energy. Dew clung to the high grass, and the scent of damp earth stirred something primal in Ronan’s blood. Talia stood across from him, her posture poised but hesitant, shoulders squared like she was determined to ignore the tension simmering between them. She wore snug black leggings and a fitted workout tank, and though she tried to look calm, he could hear the slight uptick of her heartbeat. She was nervous. Maybe not of him—but definitely of something. “Again,” he said, voice cool, commanding. She hesitated. Then lunged. He blocked easily, countering with a smooth sweep of his arm that sent her stumbling. She caught herself. Righted. Met his eyes. “You’re still leading with your left,” he said, circling her. “You're telegraphing every move.” “I’m trying,” she muttered. “This isn’t exactly second nature.” “You want to survive a w

    CHAPTER TWENTY-One 🩷Talia🩷 She hadn't realized how tightly her hands were clenched until Ronan touched her wrist. The world outside the reinforced glass of the library felt heavy, the night pressing in like a tide just waiting to swallow her whole. But his touch was grounding—just like it always had been. "You’re holding your breath again," he said softly. Talia let out a shaky exhale. "I keep expecting it to come crashing through the window." "It won’t get to you again," Ronan promised. His voice was steel and wildfire, every word laced with the kind of conviction that made her want to believe. But she knew better than to take safety for granted. She had the claw marks on her back to prove it. Ronan moved away to stoke the fire, the golden light casting him in flickering shadows. He looked restless, taut, like a predator who'd been forced into stillness for too long. Talia watched him, her fingers absently brushing the cover of an ancient tome she hadn’t really been reading

  • BOUND TO HER WILL   🌟NIGHTFALL🌟

    CHAPTER TWENTY🩵Ronan🩵He watched her sleep for a moment longer, letting the quiet steady him. Morning light spilled across the bed, brushing over Talia’s skin like a whisper, soft and golden. Her breathing was even now, the strain of yesterday’s terror tucked behind her lashes. But it hadn’t left him. Not for a second.He stepped into the hall, shutting the door with a whisper-soft click behind him. Elias stood a few feet away, eyes sharp."You think it's one of Seraphina's?" Elias asked without preamble.Ronan nodded. "Something she summoned—or something she woke up. Either way, it’s hunting."Elias folded his arms. "And it wanted Talia."Ronan didn’t respond. The image of the beast dragging her into the trees still made his pulse spike. That thing hadn’t just been prowling—it had been tracking.“I want scouts on the perimeter. Stealth only. I want to know what it is, where it nests, how it moves. No engagements unless absolutely necessary.”Elias inclined his head. “And the girl?

    CHAPTER NINETEEN 🩵Ronan🩵 Talia wore his shirt. That shouldn’t have meant anything. Not with everything else clawing at the edges of his mind. The shadows of beasts still haunted the forest. Seraphina’s power still curled like poison beneath their skies. But the sight of her in something of his—drowned in its size, the hem grazing her bare thighs, the collar stretched wide around her neck—rooted him to the moment like nothing else had in days. She sat at the kitchen table, feet tucked beneath her, a steaming mug in her hands. Her fingers trembled slightly. Not from the heat, but the aftermath. “You didn’t have to bring it yourself,” she said quietly, not meeting his eyes. “I wanted to.” He didn’t add that he hadn’t let anyone else near her food. He didn’t trust anyone with that small, vital thing—not after what had happened. She’d been taken, marked, nearly broken. The need to keep her close clawed through him every hour since. She sipped the tea. Chamomile and honey. Her fav

    Chapter Eighteen🩷Talia🩷She hadn’t meant to lean into him.But when the knock shattered the moment and Ronan’s warmth pulled away, a strange ache settled in her chest—quiet and unfamiliar. Now, alone in his room again, she sat on the edge of the bed, fingers curled around the edge of the blanket, staring at the closed door like it held answers she wasn’t ready to face.Everything about this place felt too still. Too quiet.Except for him.She could hear him—low murmurs of his voice just outside, the scrape of booted feet across hardwood. He hadn’t been gone long, but her skin still hummed from his nearness. From the way his fingers had brushed against her wrist when he passed her the tea. From the way his gaze lingered on her mouth like he was memorizing it.She hated how aware she was of him. Of the clean, woodsy scent that clung to the room, grounding and wild. Of the way her pulse betrayed her every time he came too close.Talia closed her eyes and exhaled slowly.She wasn’t thi

    Chapter Seventeen🩵Ronan🩵The cold air sliced through the forest, the crisp scent of pine mixed with the lingering bitterness of something foul—a residue from the magic still swirling in the night. The moment Elias had left, the familiar weight of responsibility settled back into Ronan’s chest.He wasn’t sure what he feared more: the battle ahead or what might be happening to Talia while he was gone.But there was no time to hesitate. He had a pack to protect.The northern ridge was where the wolves gathered to stake their claim. It was where they drew their strength from the land, where the earth seemed to hum with power. But tonight, it felt wrong. The land was still, a disturbing calm that made Ronan’s wolf pace uneasily inside him.Ronan’s steps were calculated, purposeful as he moved through the trees, the dense undergrowth brushing against his legs. Every movement of the wind, every rustle of leaves, made his senses sharper. His claws ached to be unsheathed, but he kept his fo

  • BOUND TO HER WILL   🌟THE BATTLE🌟

    CHAPTER SIXTEEN 🩵Ronan🩵 The ground split beneath his feet as the beast lunged, scales catching firelight, wings blotting out the moon. Its roar was a curse made flesh, rattling the bones of the earth. And in its claws—Talia. Ronan didn’t think. He moved. His body blurred into motion, claws slicing, power thrumming through his veins like a war drum. He launched himself at the creature’s exposed flank, teeth bared, intent clear—rip it apart or die trying. Above the frenzy, Seraphina laughed. “You’re always too late, Ronan.” He didn’t answer. Couldn’t. Rage and fear fused into something feral, something old. Talia screamed his name. And that was all it took to break the leash inside him. --- The beast twisted midair, wings cracking like thunder as it rose higher, claws digging into Talia’s shoulders. She writhed, kicked, fought with every ounce of strength she had—but it wasn’t enough. Ronan's wolf roared inside him. He leapt from the rock ledge, power coiling in his legs,

    CHAPTER FIFTEEN 🩵Ronan🩵 He felt it the moment it happened. A fracture in the bond—not broken, not severed, but ripped away. Ronan dropped to his knees in the center of the clearing, clawed hands sinking into damp earth, his roar shaking the trees. Not a sound of defeat. A declaration of war. Talia was gone. Taken. And the scent left behind was unlike anything he'd ever tracked. Burned magic. Scorched earth. Smoke that slithered instead of rising. And beneath it all—the taunt of a beast’s presence. Ancient. Wrong. He rose slowly, blood thrumming through his veins like wildfire. Elias was already moving around the perimeter, his jaw clenched, eyes dark. “She didn’t just vanish,” Elias said, voice low. “There was something. In the sky.” Ronan didn’t answer. Couldn’t. Because his vision was full of fire. Because the last time a creature like this roamed these lands, it took half a century to put it down—and cost three packs everything. He tilted his head, forcin
