ANOKAI’S POV

“You’re scared of losing control,” I said, the realization hitting me with sudden clarity.

Rowan’s expression shifted, something flickering in his eyes. “How is that related?”

I moved closer to them, not all the way back, but enough that I didn’t have to shout. “Because this takes the control out of your hands. Up here, on this edge, you can’t rely on strength or power or violence. You can fall. You can die. And there’s nothing you can do to stop it.”

    ANOKAI’S POV“You’re scared of losing control,” I said, the realization hitting me with sudden clarity.Rowan’s expression shifted, something flickering in his eyes. “How is that related?”I moved closer to them, not all the way back, but enough that I didn’t have to shout. “Because this takes the control out of your hands. Up here, on this edge, you can’t rely on strength or power or violence. You can fall. You can die. And there’s nothing you can do to stop it.”The words settled over us, heavy with truth.“Everything in your lives,” I continued quietly, “you control through force. Through fear. Through being stronger and faster and more dangerous than anyone else. But gravity?” I gestured back toward the edge. “Gravity doesn’t care how powerful you are. Doesn’t care about your curse or your hunger or your reputation. One wrong step and you fall just like anyone else.”Silence greeted my words.Emiriel’s expression was unreadable, but I saw something shift in his eyes. Understand

  • CLAIMED BY THE MAD ALPHA BROTHERS    LOSING CONTROL

    ANOKAI’S POV“If you’re trying to kill me,” I said, my breath coming in short gasps as we climbed yet another steep incline, “you should just tell me now. At least give me the dignity of knowing.”My legs burned, my lungs ached, and sweat dampened my back despite the cooling afternoon air. We’d been walking—no, climbing for what felt like an eternity, following a narrow path that wound up and up through increasingly dense trees.“We’re close,” Rowan said without looking back, his pace never slowing.“You said that ten minutes ago,” I muttered.“And we’re closer now than we were then,” Emiriel added from behind me, amusement threading through his voice.I wanted to snap at him, but I needed all my breath just to keep moving. The path was getting steeper, the rocks under my feet loose and treacherous. More than once I’d nearly slipped, catching myself at the last moment.Where the hell were they taking me?We rounded another bend, and suddenly the trees thinned. The oppressive canopy

  • CLAIMED BY THE MAD ALPHA BROTHERS    COME WITH US

    ANOKAIA laugh escaped my lips, genuine and surprised. “Really? Two sisters?”Rissa nodded, her smile soft and warm. “Yes, my lady. Both younger than me. They mean the world to me.”“I can’t imagine having sisters who actually like each other,” I said, the words coming out more bitter than I intended. But Rissa didn’t seem to notice, or if she did, she was kind enough not to comment.“They’re everything to me,” she continued, her eyes lighting up in a way I’d never seen before. “When I left home to work here, it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. But I send money back to them every month. To help with their education, their future.”“That’s—” I started, but a sharp knock interrupted me.The door opened before either of us could respond, and Emiriel stepped inside, Rowan close behind him.Rissa stood immediately, her chair scraping against the floor. “Your highnesses,” she said, bowing quickly. I could see the fear in her eyes but I noticed she remained close to me. My heart softe

    EMIRIELThe afternoon sun streamed through the window of my office, but I barely noticed it. My eyes were fixed on the papers scattered across my desk. reports, accounts of the mysterious deaths but the words blurred together, meaningless.I couldn’t move past her words from yesterday.I came here because I had no choice.I was sent here as a spy.I’ve told you everything.Her voice echoed in my mind, sharp and defiant and tinged with something that might have been pain. But she’d delivered it all so coldly, so matter-of-factly, like she’d moved past caring whether we believed her or not.Like she’d given up.And that bothered me more than it should have.My beast stirred restlessly beneath my skin, a constant gnawing presence that had only gotten worse since last night. The moment her scent had disappeared from Nikolai’s room, the moment she’d slammed the door and left, taking that calming presence with her, everything had spiraled.All of our beasts had started raging again.Nikola

    ANOKAII didn’t turn around. Didn’t give him the satisfaction of seeing whatever expression was on my face.“I don’t owe you any explanations,” I said, my voice flat.“You’re not leaving until you give me one.”The words were quiet, but they carried absolute authority. I felt it then—a shift in the air, something heavy and oppressive settling over the room.When I tried to turn the handle, it wouldn’t budge.Locked.Or held by something I couldn’t see.My jaw clenched as I slowly turned back to face them. Emiriel stood in the same spot, his expression calm but his eyes sharp. Waiting.“Let me out,” I said coldly.“Answer the question first.” Emiriel took a step closer. “Be truthful this time, Anokai. Why are you here? How did you end up in our pack?”I scoffed, the sound bitter. “What truth? Didn’t Ethan tell you everything already when he was here?”“I want to hear it from your mouth.”“Why?” I crossed my arms over my chest. “So you can pick apart every word? Find more reasons to su

  • CLAIMED BY THE MAD ALPHA BROTHERS    DAUGHTER OF A BETA

    ANOKAIVoices.I heard voices in my sleep, distant and muffled, like they were coming from underwater. They pulled at me, dragging me up from the depths of unconsciousness where I’d been floating peacefully.I didn’t want to wake up. Sleep was safe. Sleep was quiet. Sleep didn’t have kidnapping attempts or jealous women or alphas who looked at me like I was both salvation and destruction.But the voices persisted, growing louder, sharper. Angry.My eyelids fluttered, heavy and resistant. I blinked once, twice, trying to clear the fog from my vision.The ceiling above me was wrong.Not the plain white ceiling of my room, but something darker. Richer. With intricate wood carvings running along the beams that I didn’t recognize.Confusion settled over me like a blanket as I pushed myself up slightly, my eyes adjusting to the dim light.This wasn’t my room.The walls were different—darker. The furniture was larger, more masculine. Everything smelled different too. Not the soft, clean scen

    ANOKAI’S POVThe four of them were on different chairs, cross-legged and eyes boring into mine like vultures. The room was dimly lit as I met Nikolai’s eyes and looked down at his lips. Embarrassment flooded my cheeks as I recalled my dream. Why was I exactly dreaming of them and the things they d

    ANOKAI’S POV.I ran out of the room with my heart almost leaping out of my chest. I didn’t look back until I got the quarters and slammed the door shut. The entire room was empty which meant the girls were still at breakfast. I paced back and forth, chewing my nails with my thoughts halfway spirali
