The study was dark when I finally returned.

I didn't bother with the lights. I knew the room by heart, the creak of the floorboards, the weight of the curtains, the way the moonlight slanted through the windows at this hour. I went to the desk, pulled out my phone, and scrolled to an old contact.

Alexei Volkov. No relation, different spelling, different bloodline. He was a fixer like Viktor, but he worked for me. Had for years. He was discreet, loyal, and completely invisible.

    kAZIMIR The study was dark when I finally returned. I didn't bother with the lights. I knew the room by heart, the creak of the floorboards, the weight of the curtains, the way the moonlight slanted through the windows at this hour. I went to the desk, pulled out my phone, and scrolled to an old contact. Alexei Volkov. No relation, different spelling, different bloodline. He was a fixer like Viktor, but he worked for me. Had for years. He was discreet, loyal, and completely invisible. I typed out a message. I need you to reach out to Viktor Petrov. Tell him you have a client who needs his services. High profile. Well paid. Make him an offer he can't refuse. - Kazimir Alexei's response came within seconds. Details? - Alexei I'll provide them when he agrees to the meeting. Just get him to the table. - Kazimir Understood. - Alexei I set down the phone and exhaled. One step at a time. -—————————— Something was wrong. I felt it as I moved toward the door on

    ARIEL "Of course not. I only meant..." "You meant she's different. That she doesn't belong with the other children." I stepped closer, my voice low. "She's a normal kid. She's not special needs. She's not a problem to be accommodated. She's a child."Madame Voss's smile was brittle. "I apologize if I offended you. That wasn't my intention."Nikolai stepped in smoothly. "Perhaps we could see the rest of the facilities? The gardens, I've heard, are lovely."The tension broke. Madame Voss led us outside, chattering about landscaping and seasonal events. I walked behind her, Evie's hand still in mine, my jaw tight."You okay?" Nikolai murmured."I don't like her. Or this school." "She's only trying to help.""She's trying to categorize my daughter before she's even met her.""She's only trying to do her job. People with money want to know their children are in good hands. She's covering bases. I don't think she meant to offend you." I didn't respond. Evie was tugging my hand, pointing

    KAZIMIR Ariel's jaw tightened. "So it was you? You were the one who was in my room." "It wasn't me. But I heard about the vials anyway. Tell me, what are they for?" "That's none of your business." "Everything in this house is my business." "Evie is not your business." "She's sleeping in my lap." "That's not by choice." I carefully shifted Evie, lifting her into my arms. She stirred but didn't wake. Her head fell against my shoulder, trust heavy and complete. "Where do you want her?" I asked. Ariel stared at me for a long moment. Then she turned and walked towards her room. I followed. --- The room was soft. Warm. The crescent moon nightlight glowed on the wall. I laid Evie on the bed, and Ariel pulled the blanket up to her chin. "Thank you," she said. Quiet. Almost reluctant. "You don't have to thank me." "I know." She looked at me. "I didn't want to." "Then why did you?" She didn't answer. We stood there, on either side of the bed, the child between us like a brid

    ARIEL The house was quiet. Too quiet. The kind of quiet that meant everyone was asleep, or pretending to be. I'd waited until the clocks struck two, until I didn't hear any staff down the hall, until the silence had settled over the estate like a blanket. Now I moved through the darkness like a ghost. The study door was locked. I shouldn't have been surprised. After the kiss, after he'd found me in here once already, he wasn't stupid enough to leave it unguarded again. But the lock was old, a simple deadbolt, nothing fancy. He'd never expected anyone to try. I pulled the pick set from my pocket and got to work. It took longer than I wanted, because it had been a while since I picked a lock. My hands were shaking. Every creak of the floorboards sounded like footsteps. But finally, finally, the lock clicked, and I slipped inside. The study smelled like him. I hated how familiar it was. How my body relaxed slightly at his scent, like it was coming home. I was repulsed by

    KAZIMIR "Didn't I ask you to stay away? You should be serving out you punishment far away from here." I told Dimitri. He shrugged."I'll serve it later. Besides, you forgave me remember?" He said with a sly grin and I rolled my eyes. "We'll talk about reports later. I'm stressed out." Nikolai straightened, also grinning. "What do you have to be stressed about? You're the Alpha. You have everything."I didn't answer. I couldn't explain that everything was precisely the problem. That every decision I made felt like a trap. That the woman I should hate was living in my house, sleeping under my roof, and I couldn't stop thinking about the way her body felt pressed against mine.So I hit the bag instead.Dimitri sighed. "Fine. We'll discuss the reports later." He moved to the weights, starting his own workout. Nikolai joined him, the two of them falling into easy conversation about pack logistics, about the upcoming allied meeting, about whether Lev would come down to join us. Normal

  • Claimed By The Wolf Kings   The loaded gun

    ARIEL The bug sat on my nightstand like a loaded gun.I'd been staring at it for an hour. Maybe two. Time had stopped meaning much since the kiss, since his mouth on mine, his hands on my waist, his voice saying I can't stop like it was a confession and a curse all at once.I should have planted it. I'd had two chances. Two chances to save my daughter, and I'd failed both times because of him.Because when he kissed me, I forgot how to breathe.Because when he looked at me with those dark, hungry eyes, I forgot why I was supposed to hate him.Stupid, I thought. So stupid.I picked up the bug. Turned it over in my fingers. It was small, smaller than a button, matte black, designed to disappear. Viktor had chosen it carefully. He'd chosen everything carefully. The meeting spot. The deadline. The way he'd looked at me when he said three days.Three days.Today was day two.I set the bug down and looked around the room. Evie was asleep in the bed, her small body curled around her stuffed
