The mattress dipped under his weight, and suddenly the bed that had seemed vast when I sat in it alone felt far too small for the two of us. The available space shrank to nothing as he stretched out with lazy dominance.

He sprawled across the middle of the bed, one arm thrown above his head, the other resting on his stomach. His legs stretched out, taking up more than half the mattress, and I found myself pressed closer to the edge simply by virtue of the space he commanded.

    The first thing I felt was the weight. Not the heaviness of sleep still clinging to my bones, but the warmth pressing beside me—the quiet presence that seemed to devour all the air in the room. My lashes fluttered open, sunlight spilling weakly through the curtains, and for a fleeting moment I thought I was back in my own room. Safe. Alone. But then my eyes shifted, and reality crashed over me like ice. Kael was there. He lay stretched on his side, broad shoulders turned toward me, the sheets drawn low across his hips. His breathing was even, deep, his chest rising and falling in a rhythm that made him look… almost human. Almost. For the first time, I noticed how still he looked when the storm of command and rage wasn’t etched into his face. His features were calmer, younger somehow. The furrow between his brows was gone, leaving behind a man who—if I didn’t know better—could’ve been mistaken for someone who knew peace. His lashes were dark, long enough to cast shado

    Kael POV: The night should have been quiet. The estate had long settled into silence, the torches outside flickering lazily in the cold wind, the heavy doors bolted, the guards taking their posts in steady rotations I could count even with my eyes closed. My world was built on structure, on discipline, on control—yet tonight, none of it mattered. Because my wolf wouldn’t shut up. He paced inside my head like a beast chained too tightly, claws raking at the edges of my mind. I had endured him snarling in battle, I had weathered him when grief tore me open after Elira’s death, but this was different. This was… off. I tossed back the last of the whiskey in my glass, but even that failed to dull the sharp thrum beneath my skin. What is it? I demanded inwardly, leaning forward in my chair, palms braced on the desk. What the hell has gotten into you? The answer was a growl. Not the kind that signaled danger, nor the one that promised bloodshed. This was lower, deeper—like a warning I

    Mira had been gone for hours. The moment she slipped from the room with the folded message hidden carefully against her skirts, silence fell around me like a noose tightening by the minute. I hadn’t moved from the bed since then. My knees were drawn to my chest, the heavy silk sheet wrapped tightly around my legs and waist as if its weight could anchor me, could keep me from unraveling. I clutched a pillow to my chest, my fingers twisting at its corners, fidgeting without end. Every tick of time scraped against my nerves. I kept seeing Mira’s face when she bowed and promised to return. Brave. Too brave. And I—useless—left behind to do nothing but sit and pray. I hated myself for it. What if someone stopped her? What if they searched her? What if Kael himself saw her leaving the estate with my words hidden in her hands? I pressed my forehead against the pillow, whispering a prayer to god. Don’t let anything happen to her. Please. If Kael discovers her… if she gets caught because of

    The moon is full and beautiful and everyone is celebrating except me.I stand at the edge of the ceremonial clearing, my back pressed against the rough bark of an oak tree that has watched eighteen years of full moon ceremonies without me ever mattering at any of them. The bonfire in the center burns gold and amber, throwing warm light across the faces of my packmates — laughing, dancing, drinking, alive with the kind of joy that has never quite reached me.I tell myself I’m not nervous.I’m lying.Tonight is different. Tonight is the night every wolf in the Ironblood Pack turns eighteen and discovers whether the Moon Goddess blessed them with a fated mate. Some wolves wait years. Some never find theirs at all. But tonight is my night — my eighteenth birthday — and somewhere in this crowd of two hundred wolves, my other half existsI just have to find them.I smooth my dress with damp palms. It’s the nicest thing I own — pale silver, simple, nothing like the elaborate gowns the higher

    The silk clings to my skin like a second betrayal. I sat motionless on the low stone bench, arms outstretched while a pair of elder seamstresses fastened the final silver clasps of my ceremonial dress. The fabric was bone-white, stitched with threads that shimmered like frozen moonlight. It was the color of purity, of peace, of surrender. It felt like a funeral shroud. One of the women gently twisted a thin braid into my hair, weaving in an iron charm at the end—Blackthorn custom. The metal was cold against my temple, and heavier than it should have been. Neither woman spoke. In fact, no one had spoken to me directly since dawn. Even my own father had only offered a single order through the closed door hours earlier: "Be ready when they arrive." So I sat—dressed like a gift, sealed like a debt—while the world I knew collapsed in silence around me. The walls of the Vale Court were damp with age. Moss climbed the old stone columns like long-forgotten regrets. A pair of guards

    His question lingered between them. “What are you so afraid of me finding?” Aria searched his face, desperately trying to find an answer that wouldn’t destroy everything. There wasn’t one. And If Kael found the truth… Mira would be implicated. The old servant in Vale would be exposed. She would be punished if not killed. Every fragile thread she had managed to gather would snap before she ever reached the truth. Her heartbeat hammered against her ribs. She had only one weapon left: him. Before Kael could speak, before the sharp edge of his suspicion could crystallize into a demand, Aria bridged the remaining distance between them. She reached up, her fingers tangling tightly into the dark, thick hair at the nape of his neck, and pulled his face down to hers. Kael stiffened for a fraction of a second, caught completely off guard by the violent suddenness of her approach. But the hesitation vanished the instant her lips pressed into his. A low, subterranean sound vibrated d

    The dual sensations were overwhelming. His mouth on one breast, his hand on the other, both working in tandem to unravel me completely. To reduce me to nothing but sensation and need."Stop—" I whispered weakly, but the word died when his tongue plunging deep while his hand twist

    The door had slammed shut behind him, and the silence he left in his wake pressed against my skin harder than his hands had. I was still sprawled across his bed, hair a tangled mess around my face, my lips bruised from his kiss. My lungs dragged in air like I had been drowning, and maybe

    My palms sank into his sheets, my body bouncing once before his shadow loomed over me. His eyes glowed in the dim light, feral and golden, like a predator cornering its prey. The mattress dipped under his weight as he braced his hands on either side of me, caging me in once more. Blocking out the

    Once the maid was dragged away by the guards, it were only the three of us left alone in silence when suddenly Kael's voice cracked like a whip, slicing through the silence of the hall."What the hell are you doing here?"My whole body froze, blood turning to ice as his shad
