CHASING MONSTERS 200-BORDERLANDS
Veronica ran from the Rogue Stronghold like a woman leaving a burning room, not because the heat scared her, but because she wanted space to decide what to set alight next.The forest tore at her cloak, branches catching and snapping loose as she drove herself forward, boots cutting a hard line through dirt and leaf-litter, lungs working in steady rhythm while her mind stayed sharp and furious. Malik had done it. Malik had dared to place guards between her and the child, dared to treat her like she was a liability instead of the reason half that pack feared to sleep with their backs exposed.He had barred her from Scarlett and tried to cage her.Scarlett, who wasn’t even his by blood.Scarlett belonged to Arnold. A dead man. A useful mistake. A footnote that should have meant nothing now, except Malik had gone and made it matter by claiming the girl as if she were sacred. Like she was his heart, his soft spot, his excuse for rules.Veronica’s hands curled as she ran, nails digging int
CHASING MONSTERS 199-THIS FORTRESS
Veronica expected Lucian to be waiting in some shadowed corner like a guilty man.And on the floor, half-curled on the rough boards near Lucian’s table, a hunter lay collapsed like a discarded coat.Veronica slowed for half a beat, letting her gaze take the scene in without giving anyone the satisfaction of knowing she’d noticed. The hunter’s chest rose shallowly. His eyelids fluttered once, then fell again. A sedative tremor sat in his limbs, the body’s last protest before it surrendered to whatever Lucian had put in him.People watched.People saw.And people said nothing.That was what Veronica liked best about places like this. When fear and self-preservation hung in the air, truth could scream and still go unheard.She slid into the chair opposite Lucian, folding her hands lightly as if she’d come for a casual drink.“You’re making friends,” she said, eyes flicking to the hunter on the floor.Lucian’s mouth curved, not quite a smile. “He fainted.”Veronica gave him a look that su
CHASING MONSTERS 198-CHAINS
Malik knew Veronica would leave again.She moved through the world as if it owed her something, like consequences were for other people, lesser people. She didn’t bother hiding it anymore. No excuses. No explanations. Just the same casual confidence, the same expectation that he would look the other way because he always had before.This time, he didn’t.He stood at the edge of the fortress grounds and watched her disappear down the path, red cloak a slash of certainty against the muted earth. She didn’t glance back. In her mind, she was untouchable.He signaled two of his best scouts with a subtle shift of his hand.“Follow her,” he said quietly. “Not close enough to be seen. I want to know where she goes, who she meets, and what she promises in my name.”They nodded once and vanished into the trees.Malik exhaled slowly.His pack came first.He turned back toward the fortress, already cataloging what needed to change, who needed to be moved, who needed to be protected from Veronica’
CHASING MONSTERS 197-FAMILY MATTERS
Jax had told them to stand down.Every instinct he possessed screamed against it, but the order left his mouth anyway, crisp and final. The men hesitated, glancing between him and the dim line of buildings ahead, waiting for him to change his mind.He didn’t.“Pull back,” he repeated. “Now.”Reluctantly, they melted into the darkness, boots quiet against stone, weapons lowered but not stowed. Jax stayed where he was, alone at the edge of the border town, the lights of the tavern flickering like a pulse just beyond reach.He hadn’t been alone like this in years.He leaned against the brick wall, pulled a cigarette from a long-forgotten pack, and lit it. The first drag burned down into his chest, harsh and grounding. He welcomed the sting. It reminded him he was still real, still upright, still in control.That illusion was fragile tonight.The doctor’s voice still echoed in his head, clinical and careful, as if precision might soften the blow.There is a ninety-nine point nine percent
CHASING MONSTERS 196-NOT BRAVE
The throne room felt too large for the number of men inside it.Xavier stood at the head of the chamber, hands resting on the back of the carved chair, staring down at the table between them. Ronan stood to his right, arms folded, posture rigid with restrained violence. Abel paced slowly opposite them.“We can’t sit here,” Ronan said finally, breaking the silence. “Every hour we wait is another hour Jo is further away.”Xavier nodded once. The restless pressure pulsed in his chest—a king's burden, the urge to defend what was his and spill blood if required. "Agreed."Abel stopped pacing. “I have an informant who reached out after the festival. They claim to know where Toren was taken, and who took the woman.”“And you trust them?” Ronan asked.Abel’s mouth curved humorlessly. “No.”“Then why meet?” Xavier asked."Because the information lines up with what little we have," Abel replied. "And because if it’s a trap, I want to be the one who controls the approach and risks, not someone e
CHASING MONSTERS 195-CONSEQUENCES
They were confined to the eastern solar, the one with tall windows and a view of the inner gardens, as if beauty might soften the punishment.It didn’t.Sophie sat curled on one of the wide couches, knees drawn up, arms wrapped around herself in a way she hadn’t done since she was a girl. Shiloh sat on the floor at her feet, back against the couch, fingers absently tracing patterns into the rug as if she might find sense hidden in the weave.Neither of them had spoken for a long time.Outside, the castle hummed with quiet, controlled urgency. Boots on stone. Voices kept deliberately low. The men were working, that much was clear. Abel, Xavier, Ronan, Ryder, Kofi. Moving pieces, pulling threads, chasing what could still be salvaged from the disaster they had helped create.And Sophie hated that they weren’t part of it.“You know,” Shiloh said eventually, voice rough, “I always thought the worst thing I’d ever feel was hunted.”Sophie swallowed. “Turns out it’s being safe while someone
