We had seven minutes to prepare for an enemy we had no hope of defeating.

"Get Elena to the secure room," Damien commanded, his voice carrying that alpha authority that made everyone move without question. "Aria, go with her. Maren, full medical prep. This is going to get bloody."

"No." The word came from Elena. Small but absolutely firm. She let go of my hand and stepped forward. "If I hide, they will tear through the entire pack to get to me. Everyone will die protecting someone who is not ev

  • Claimed By The Alphas Who Betrayed Me   Chapter Forty-Two: The First Strike

    The attack came at dawn on a day so ordinary that we almost missed the signs.No massive assault. No dramatic arrival. Just twelve individuals appearing at various points around alliance territories with the quiet confidence of beings who had never been seriously challenged.Cassandra materialized at our northern border with two companions I did not recognize. She walked through the patrol line without resistance because the wolves stationed there simply stopped moving when she commanded them to stand aside.Through the communication network I heard similar reports from allied territories. Primes appearing at different locations. Guards freezing in place. Defenses bypassed with words rather than violence."They are positioning themselves," Elena said, studying the tactical map where we had marked each Prime's location. She had been awake all night, too tense to sleep, tracking movements through intelligence reports. "Creating a perimeter around all alliance territories. When they are

  • Claimed By The Alphas Who Betrayed Me   Chapter Forty-One: The Changed Child

    Elena did not leave our cabin for three days after we brought her home.She slept in our bed. Ate when we brought her food. Allowed Maren to examine her and confirm she was physically healthy. But she did not talk about what happened in the Prime compound. Did not explain what she had learned. Did not process the trauma in any way we could reach.She just existed. Small and quiet and still. So different from the vibrant, curious child we had sent away.On the fourth day, she finally spoke."They were going to kill me," she said. We were sitting together at breakfast, the three of us, trying to pretend things were normal. "Not immediately. But eventually. When I learned enough to be useful but before I got strong enough to be dangerous."I set down my fork carefully. "How do you know?""I heard them talking. Cassandra and the others. They did not know I could hear through walls if I focused the bond connection right." She looked at me with eyes that were far too old for her face. "They

    We tore apart the forest looking for any sign of where they had taken her.Rafe found tracks. Multiple sets, all deliberately confused and overlapping. "They scattered in different directions," he said, studying the ground with the intensity of someone who had spent decades tracking prey. "Intentional misdirection. Every trail goes a different way. Some loop back. Some end at running water where the scent disappears.""How long ago?" Damien asked. His voice was dangerously calm. The kind of calm that came before violence."Hours. Maybe six. They moved before dawn." Rafe looked up at us. "This was planned. They knew we would come eventually. They prepared for it."Luka was examining the tree where Elena's message had been carved. "Her handwriting is rushed. Carved fast. Like she had seconds, not minutes. She was probably being watched the whole time."I touched the carved letters with shaking fingers. FIND ME. PLEASE. Two words that contained all the terror of a child who understood sh

  • Claimed By The Alphas Who Betrayed Me   Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Separation

    We had twelve hours.Twelve hours to prepare a two-year-old child for separation from everything she had ever known. Twelve hours to pack what she would need for years away from home. Twelve hours to say goodbye to a daughter we might not recognize when she returned.If she returned.I pushed that thought away violently. She would come home. Cassandra had agreed to terms. This was apprenticeship, not abduction.But it felt like abduction anyway.The pack gathered in the main lodge as word spread. Not everyone. Just the inner circle and those closest to Elena. They came quietly, bringing small gifts and words of encouragement that felt hollow against the weight of what was happening.Calla was crying openly. She and Elena had been inseparable for months. Now she stood clutching a small stuffed animal she had made for Elena, unable to speak through her tears.Elena took the animal gently. "I will keep it safe," she said. "I will think about you when I hold it.""You have to come back,"

"Aria, go with her. Maren, full medical prep. This is going to get bloody.""No." The word came from Elena. Small but absolutely firm. She let go of my hand and stepped forward. "If I hide, they will tear through the entire pack to get to me. Everyone will die protecting someone who is not even here to see it.""You are two years old," I said. "You are not staying to face this.""I am two years old with power that scares adult Primes enough to bring thirty wolves and at least two of their own to kill me." She looked at me with eyes that held understanding far beyond her physical age. "Running makes it worse. Hiding makes it worse. They know I am here. They can probably feel me the same way I feel them."Through the bond I felt Damien's conflict. Every instinct screamed to protect he

  • Claimed By The Alphas Who Betrayed Me   Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Stranger at the Gate

    Two years after Elena's birth, the compound had settled into a rhythm that felt almost comfortable.Almost.I was in the training yard watching Elena work through coordination exercises with Maren when the alarm went up. Not the full assault alarm. Just the boundary warning that meant someone had crossed into our territory without permission.Through the bond, I felt Damien's immediate alertness. He was in the war room with Silas reviewing supply routes. His voice came through the communication network, calm but focused."Rafe, what do we have?""Single individual. Western approach. Walking straight toward the main gate like they own the place." Rafe's voice carried confusion. "No pack scent I recognise. No hostile posture. Just walking.""Armed?""Cannot tell from this distance. But they are not trying to hide. Very visible. Very deliberate."I moved toward the main gate with Elena. She had stopped her exercises the moment the alarm sounded and was looking at me with those too-aware
