Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series) Chapter 6 – The Marrow Arrived
Time is a cruel thief when you’re waiting for the end of the world, or the beginning of a new one.The weeks had bled into a blur of grey skies and bone-deep exhaustion.Living in a cave on neutral ground while carrying an Alpha’s heir is not the romantic ‘return to nature’ some might imagine. Believe me, it is a gritty, relentless slog.Since Diamond refused to shift, my hunting options were limited to what a human woman with a growing belly and a persistent limp could manage. I had become a master of the primitive. I spent my days checking crude snares for rabbits and using a sharpened spear to poke at fish in the shallows.It was enough to stop the hunger pangs, but it wasn’t enough to nourish an unborn wolf.I could feel the lack of nutrition in my brittle teeth and in the dullness of my hair. I needed the strength only a pack‑kill could provide, the fresh vegetables, the mineral‑rich meat but there was no pack to protect me in this condition. There was only me, a pile of dried be
Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series) Chapter 5 – A Heartbeat
Three weeks is a lifetime when you’re living on nothing but creek water and old grudges.After mating Ahri, I had fled deeper into the forest, carefully erasing my trail so he would believe Raskha had been the one to lead him there. And eventually I found refuge in the far eastern corner of the neutral territory, a place where danger lingered but boundaries offered a fragile shield. I knew a pack was nearby, yet as long as I did not cross their border, I believed I would remain safe.This cave I claimed was no different from the others I had hidden in before, but over time it ceased to feel like a tomb and began to resemble something closer to a home, or at least a lair carved out of necessity.I built a routine that kept the madness at bay, a pattern of survival stitched together from repetition and silence, each task dulling the sharp edges of loneliness until the emptiness itself became another companion I learned to endure.Every morning, I’d track the perimeter of the zone, makin
Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series) Chapter 4 - Under a Blood Moon
The clearing stank of sweat and fur, the pack restless under the crimson moon as if the night itself demanded blood.Ahri sat at the head of the grand table, looking every bit the king of a rotting empire. He was restless, his fingers tapping a frantic cadence against the wood, his eyes tracking Raskha’s every move. He was ready to hunt. He was ready to claim a legacy he was not worth of.From my place in the shadows, I watched Britni move with practiced ease, weaving through the crowd with a tray of crystal glasses. She looked calm, yet through our thin mind link I could feel her heart pounding against her ribs, her anxiety vibrating faintly in the back of my skull, but she did not falter and she did not stumble.She reached the head table just as Ahri stood to signal the start of the ritual."Alpha," Britni’s voice was smooth, pitched just right to catch his attention without raising his guard. "A suggestion for the night's festivities? Something to amplify the mood for the pack's n
Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series) Chapter 3 - Sins of the Moonlight
The North Gate was a relic of a time when the pack feared outsiders more than their own.Now, it was just a stretch of rotting timber and rusted iron, a blind spot in the Moonlight Howl’s perimeter.I crawled through the shadows, my body caught in the uncomfortable middle-ground of a half-shift. Diamond was restless, her fur prickling against my skin, her instincts screaming at me to cross the line and surrender to the madness of the Blood Moon.I stayed inches from the border.Caution was now required, because if even one paw touched that soil, the border patrol would sense me immediately, and the revelation of a woman they believed dead would spread through them like an alarm. As Alpha, Ahri’s golden aura was sharp enough to detect me before I could flee a single step.The heat in my blood surged like a relentless tide, a throbbing pulse that made every movement an exercise in agony. My plan was desperate, born of a grudge, but it was all I had.To survive, I needed to get to him.T
Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series) Chapter 2 - The Red Hunger
Waking up didn't feel like a miracle. Instead, it unfolded as a cruel parody of survival, a sick joke played at my expense.My first breath was a rough intake of damp soil and the copper stench of my own blood. I was face-down in the sludge of the ravine, my cheek pressed against a mossy root that felt like a cold, dead finger. For a long time, I just stayed there, waiting for the darkness to take me back. But the void was gone, replaced by a grey, weeping dawn filtering through the thick canopy of the North Ridge.I had crawled back from the edge of nothing, dragged into rebirth though I had never asked for such a privilege.As the fog in my brain cleared, the memory of the blade returned, sharp and vivid. I could still feel the silver sliding into my throat, turning my blood to liquid fire. But it wasn't the pain that stayed with me. It was the image of Ahri afterward.Before the guards had dragged my seizing body away, I had seen it all.Ahri didn't look away, nor did he show any r
Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series) Book 4; Chapter 1 – The Wrong Twin
Rebirth in Blood: Vengeance in the MarrowBook 4; Chapter 1 – The Wrong TwinThe moonlight no longer felt like a blessing.It was a cold spotlight illuminating the ruins of a life I’d spent twenty-one years building.I didn’t knock.No, an Alpha’s mate doesn't ask for permission to enter her own mate’s office. But as the doors swung open, the air rolling out was pregnant with the taint of lust, a cloying heat that made my skin crawl before my eyes could even process what was playing out in front of me.The sight pierced me, sharp and merciless.No other than my twin sister, Raskha, was tangled in my fated mate’s arms, her back arched over his mahogany desk. His large, calloused hands, the same hands that had traced my spine this morning, were buried in her hair, pulling her head back as his mouth worked hungrily at the curve of her throat.Raskha’s breathless moans ricocheted off the stone walls, a melodic sound that shattered the silence of my heart.For a heartbeat, the world went
Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series) Chapter 17 – A Test of Will and Wit
Walking through the estate’s vast hallways, I couldn’t help but feel like I’d stepped into some kind of secret society, or maybe a really exclusive club where every move was deliberate and every glance was loaded with meaning.The floors echoed beneath our footsteps, and the way the others moved, s
Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series) Chapter 7 - The Morning After
Standing in front of the mirror, the full-length kind in the master bathroom, I was adjusting the lapels of my dark suit.It was a typical ‘power outfit’, the kind that practically screams, I have a plan, I know what I’m doing, and I definitely know where my birth certificate is. After a night fill
Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series) Chapter 6 - The Boundary
Rapha’s lips crashed into mine, rich with the taste of wine and bold certainty, while Nisi’s hands seared heat into my waist.“Let yourself fall, baby,” Rapha coaxed, his words a spell. “You taste like you’re ours already.”“We’ll catch you,” Nisi promised.In that instant, their pull nearly silenc
Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series) Chapter 3 - The Monday Morning Audit
Sunday passed in a strange, golden haze of bliss.I didn't leave the apartment once, and for the first time in my life, I didn’t feel the itch to check my work email or organize my closet. I spent the entire day on the floor or the sofa, buried under a mountain of blankets and two very large, very
