The Touch

Damien’s honesty followed me like a shadow.

I hated it.

I wanted anger from him. I wanted denial. I wanted some alpha nonsense I could rip apart with both hands and feel justified for hating him.

But he just stood there with that haunted look buried under all his control, and somehow that was worse.

Because pain I could understand.

Pain was dangerous.

Pain made people honest.

I stepped back from the bar. “I’m done.”

Maggie’s head lifted. “Lena—”

“I said I’m done.”

  • Black Hollow   Chapter 15

    Straight for MeThe creature came straight for me.Not for Maggie with the shotgun.Not for the bleeding Thorncroft guard trying to stand.Not for Corey, who had picked up a broken pool cue like that was going to save anyone.Me.Its claws tore through the floorboards as it launched forward, body low and twisted, silver eyes locked on mine like the rest of the room did not exist.My feet did not move.Not because I was brave.Because I wasn’t.

  • Black Hollow   Chapter 14

    Broken Glass The window shattered inward. Glass exploded across Hollow Creek in a glittering wave, catching the weak overhead lights before spraying over tables, chairs, and the floor. People screamed. The storm rushed in behind it. Rain. Wind. Cold mountain air. And the thing that had been standing outside. It hit the floor on two feet, then dropped to all fours with a wet, bone-cracking sound that made my stomach roll. Its body twisted wrong beneath torn clothing, shoulders hunching, spine arching, fingers lengthening into claws against the wood. Not human. Not wolf. Something caught between. Something ruined. The smell slammed into me. Blood. Rot.

  • Black Hollow   Chapter 13

    The Blood Heir LivesImpossible.Damien said it like a prayer that had failed.Like one word could make the hand on the glass disappear.It didn’t.The bloody symbol stayed there, dark against the rain-streaked window.Three claw marks.A crown.The same mark carved into the bar door.The same mark some broken piece of my memory insisted belonged to the night Damien rejected me.Only now it was not a memory.It was right there.Bleeding down the glass.My throat went dry. “Damien.”He did not look at me.That scared me more than if he had.His attention stayed fixed on the window, body locked in front of mine, shoulders tense beneath his rain-dark jacket. He looked like a man wat

    The Thing OutsideMy hand stayed on Damien’s chest for one heartbeat too long.Long enough to feel the truth under his skin.His control was not calm.It was a cage.And whatever lived inside it had teeth.I pulled my hand away.Damien let me.But the bond did not loosen.It burned between us, raw and furious, while Corey stood beside me and the whole bar pretended it was not watching the most uncomfortable reunion Black Hollow had seen since Mrs. Pike’s third husband came back from the dead.Long story.Not relevant.Probably.Maggie cleared her throat. “Everybody breathe.”No one did.Damien’s eyes stayed on mine.“You need to come with me.”I laughed, because apparently that was my default response to emotional distress and alpha commands.“Absolutely not.”“It isn’t safe.”“Again with the vague warnings. Do they teach that in alpha school?”His jaw flexed.Corey stepped in carefully. “Maybe we should all slow down.”Damien did not look at him. “This doesn’t concern you.”“Lena con

    Not Yours AnymoreThe broken bulb swung overhead, sparking faintly above the bar.No one moved.Corey was still beside me.Damien was still staring at the space between us.And every wolf in Hollow Creek seemed to be waiting to see whether their alpha remembered how to act human.I stepped away from Corey.Not because Damien deserved that.Because Corey enjoyed having bones intact.He looked down at me. “What is happening?”“My personal nightmare,” I said.Damien’s eyes flashed.Good.Let him hear it.Corey’s gaze moved between us, slower now. His expression shifted from confusion to recognition, then disbelief.“Wait.”I closed my eyes.Please don’t.Corey pointed at Damien. “You’re him.”Damien’s mouth tightened. “Careful.”Corey blinked. “Wow. That was extremely threatening for two syllables.”“Corey,” I warned.“What? It was.”Damien took one step forward.The air thickened around him.Wolves bowed their heads without meaning to. A human woman near the fireplace rubbed at her arms

  • Black Hollow   Chapter 10

    Someone Who Knew Her FirstJealousy had a scent.I had forgotten that.Or maybe I had only forgotten Damien’s version of it.It moved through the room like smoke after his control cracked. Dark. Sharp. Possessive enough to make the wolves nearest us lower their eyes without understanding why.I stepped back from him.One step.Then another.Not because I was afraid.Mostly.Because if I stayed close enough to smell rain on his skin, I might do something unforgivable.Like remember.The front door opened behind him, letting in a cold sweep of mountain air.A familiar voice cut through the tension.“Hey. There you are.”Every muscle in Damien’s body went still.My stomach dropped.Oh, perfect.Because apparently tonight had decided to become a group project.Corey Vale stepped into Hollow Creek shaking rain from his jacket, his sandy hair damp and messy, his cheeks flushed from the cold. He spotted me near the bar and smiled.Not carefully.Not like the others.Not like I was cursed, da
