Ashen had already accepted his fate, he was ready to die. But just as the final blow was about to land, his tormentors collapsed to the ground… and he found himself pulled into the arms of Grayson, a cold and feared Alpha known across the packs. Without a word, Grayson tore Ashen away from his old pack and took him home. Ashen was convinced his life would only get worse. Grayson had a reputation, ruthless, brutal, merciless. But everything changed… The moment Grayson kissed him.

CLAIMED BY THE COLD-HEARTED ALPHA 50
ASHEN’S POVThe moment I stepped out of the room, the pull sharpened— clearer, heavier, more insistent than before.It tugged at the center of my chest, right beneath the sigil glowing faintly under my shirt. Each pulse was a direction. Each direction was a warning. And every warning carried one truth: something hostile was moving toward Grayson.Grayson walked beside me, matching my pace without hesitation. His shoulder brushed mine, silent reassurance wrapped in every step he took. He didn’t touch me, didn’t pull me close, didn’t try to shield me. He simply stayed at my side with unwavering certainty.“Ashen,” he murmured, “is the pull getting stronger?”“Yes,” I said, voice low but steady. “It’s shifting. Narrowing. Directing.”“Meaning the threat is moving,” he said.“Yes,” I whispered. “Toward us.”He inhaled slowly. “Then let it come.”“No,” I said immediately. “You don’t let anything come. Not this one.”His jaw tightened. “Ashen—”“You said you'd follow,” I cut in. “So follow.

ASHEN’S POVThe room felt different—warmer, clearer, sharper in a way that wasn’t physical but perceptual.It was like every corner, every shift of air, every sound existed within a new clarity I hadn’t possessed before.The eclipse inside me had settled enough that the world no longer fought me.And for the first time since the awakening began, I felt like I could breathe without bracing for impact.Grayson was still sitting close, one hand resting on my lower back, the other loosely holding my wrist. Even after everything—the unification, the sigil, the forming instincts—he didn’t move away. If anything, he watched me even more intently, as if trying to understand the new rhythm of my aura the same way he learned to read every expression on my face.“Ashen,” he murmured, voice steady, “tell me again. How does it feel now?”I rested my hand over the mark on my chest, feeling its faint hum. “Settled,” I said. “But not static.”His brows lowered slightly. “Meaning?”“Meaning the power

ASHEN’S POVFor a long moment, neither of us moved.Grayson’s hand rested over the new sigil glowing faintly on my chest, his palm warm, his fingers steady despite the tremor hiding beneath his skin. The mark pulsed softly beneath his touch—once, twice, three times—each pulse syncing with the rhythm of the bond. It felt intimate, ancient, and impossibly personal all at once.My breath shuddered. “Grayson… it reacts to you more than anything else.”His eyes flickered to mine, dark and intense. “Because you shaped it with your choice. That makes it dangerous.”“For who?” I whispered.“Anyone who ever tries to touch you with a single wrong intention,” he answered quietly.The warmth in his voice wasn’t gentle.It was possessive.Fierce.Protective in a way that resonated with the eclipse inside me.My heart thudded once beneath his palm, the mark glowing brighter for a split second.“See?” he murmured. “It answers to you.”“It answers to us,” I corrected.He swallowed once, unable to dis

ASHEN’S POVWhen the words left my mouth—I choose to protect you—the core inside my chest reacted faster than any awakening, any resonance, any forced alignment ever had. A pulse shot through my ribs, sharp but not painful, bright but not blinding. It felt like something ancient and formless suddenly recognized a purpose clear enough to settle into.Grayson froze..“Ashen,” he said quietly. “Repeat that.”I swallowed. “I said I choose to protect you.”His jaw clenched, breath tightening. “You shouldn’t choose for my sake.”“I’m not choosing for your sake,” I said firmly. “I’m choosing for mine.”His eyes darkened, emotion flickering in the shadows of his expression. “Explain it. Say it out loud.”I pressed a hand to my sternum, fingers trembling slightly from the warmth building beneath the surface. “Because my power was born fractured. Because my identity was shaped by running from forces inside me I couldn’t control. And because you were the only constant that never fractured with
