I woke before dawn on the third day with my heart already racing. Today was the day Kellan would arrive. Tonight, I would leave. I dressed quickly in my training clothes and made my way to the courtyard, needing the familiar rhythm of my forms to steady my nerves.

The air was cool and still, carrying the scent of earth and morning dew. I moved through each form with precision, my muscles burning, my breath steady. The physical exertion helped quiet the storm in my mind. I thought about my fathe

  • CLAIMED BY MY SWORN ENEMY ALPHA   Chapter 20:The Reckoning

    I watched her sleep for a long time.She lay curled in the hollow of a fallen tree, her silver fur rising and falling with each slow breath. The blood had dried on her muzzle, dark and flaking. Her paws twitched occasionally, as if she were still fighting, still running. I stayed close, my hand resting on her side, feeling the steady beat of her heart beneath my palm.The mind-link had fallen silent. She had spoken her name, and then the bond had gone quiet. But I could still feel her presence, warm and alive, humming through the bond like a quiet melody. She was still there. She was still mine.I thought about what I had seen in the clearing. The bodies. The blood. The way she had stood among them, fierce and untamed. My wolves. They had tried to kill her. They had tried to take her from me. And she had destroyed them.I should have been angry. I should have been furious that they had betrayed me, that Selene had sent them to murder my mate. But all I felt was relief. She was alive.

    I woke to emptiness.The bed beside me was cold. The space where Aria had slept was vacant, the sheets undisturbed. For a moment, my sleep-addled mind did not understand. Then the bond screamed.I sat up, my hand flying to my chest. The bond was not quiet. It was not calm. It was a raging fire in my veins, pulling me toward something I could not see, something I could not reach. Aria. She was gone.I threw myself out of bed, my heart pounding. I did not bother with clothes. I did not bother with anything. I shifted before my feet hit the floor, the change ripping through me in a surge of raw, desperate power. Kade took over, his instincts sharper than mine, his senses keener. We moved as one, tearing through the corridors of the pack house, ignoring the shouts of guards, the startled cries of servants.She was gone. She had left me.I burst through the eastern servant's entrance, the same door Nessa had told me about weeks ago. The path led into the forest, dark and unforgiving. I fol

    The wolves closed in around us, their eyes gleaming like embers in the darkness. I counted them quickly, my heart sinking with each one that stepped into the clearing. Twelve. Maybe more lurking in the shadows beyond. Kellan's hand was still in mine, his grip warm and steady despite the cold dread curling in my stomach."Aria," he whispered, his voice barely audible. "When they attack, run for the border. Do not look back.""I am not leaving you.""You have to. I can hold them off long enough for you to cross."I shook my head, my jaw set. "We leave together or we do not leave at all."The wolves advanced slowly, deliberately. They knew we had nowhere to go. They were savoring the moment. The lead wolf stepped forward, larger than the others, his fur dark as pitch. He shifted as he moved, bones cracking and reforming, until a man stood where the wolf had been. He was tall, broad-shouldered, his face scarred and hard."Selene sends her regards," he said, his voice rough as gravel. "She

    The hours crawled by like molasses. I lay in the darkness, my eyes open, staring at the ceiling. Every sound felt magnified. The creak of the old house settling. The distant howl of a wolf somewhere beyond the walls. The steady rhythm of Damian's breathing beside me.I counted the minutes in my head. One hour until midnight. Then thirty minutes. Then fifteen.I slipped out of bed as quietly as I could. The floor was cold beneath my bare feet. I dressed quickly in dark clothes, practical and warm. The clothes Nessa had brought me. I tucked the small knife she had given me into my boot.Damian stirred in his sleep. I froze, my heart in my throat. He mumbled something, then rolled over, his breathing evening out again. I waited a full minute before moving.I crossed to the door and opened it a crack. The corridor was empty. I slipped through and into the darkness.The corridors were quiet. The only light came from the occasional torch flickering in its bracket. I moved quickly, keeping t

  • CLAIMED BY MY SWORN ENEMY ALPHA   Chapter 16: The Reunion

    The evening had settled over the pack house like a heavy blanket. I sat in my quarters, watching the last traces of daylight fade from the sky through the window. The council meeting had ended hours ago, but the tension still hung in the air like smoke. No agreement had been reached. Another meeting was scheduled for tomorrow morning. But I would not be here for that.A knock on my door pulled me from my thoughts. I crossed to open it. A guard stood in the doorway."The representative has requested a private meeting with you," he said. "I am to escort you to his quarters."I nodded and followed him through the corridors. The pack house was quieter now, the bustle of the day replaced by the stillness of evening. Guards stood at their posts, their eyes following me as I passed. I kept my gaze straight ahead.The door to Kellan's quarters was guarded by two wolves. The guard knocked, and a moment later, the door swung open. Kellan stood in the doorway, his face unreadable. He stepped asi

I dressed quickly in my training clothes and made my way to the courtyard, needing the familiar rhythm of my forms to steady my nerves.The air was cool and still, carrying the scent of earth and morning dew. I moved through each form with precision, my muscles burning, my breath steady. The physical exertion helped quiet the storm in my mind. I thought about my father, about how he used to watch me train in the Silverwood courtyard, correcting my stance, pushing me harder. I thought about my mother, about the way she would wait for me at the gate after a long day of training. I thought about the life I had left behind, the life I was fighting to return to.By the time I finished, the sun had risen fully, painting the sky in shades of gold and pink. I made my way back to my quarters to wash and change. Nessa was waiting with breakfast, her hands trembling as
