Claimed by My Alpha's Ruthless Twin Brother The Choice
The assembly was set for noon. I didn’t sleep the night before. Not because I was scared. Because I knew whatever happened today would decide if Redwood lived or died. Every wolf in Redwood was there. Omegas from the barracks, still in their training leathers. Betas from the patrols, mud on their boots. Gammas from the fields, faces sunburned and tired. Even the elders who’d survived the purge sat in the front row, watching me like I was about to betray them. Sable stood across from us with fifty of her people. Calm. Patient. Like she already knew how this would end. Kade stood beside me on the platform. His hand brushed mine once. Not for comfort. For solidarity. He spoke first. “Redwood is changing,” he said. His voice carried over the courtyard. “It’s stronger than it’s ever been. But it’s not perfect.” Murmurs spread through the crowd. Some angry. Some hopeful. Mostly tired. Then it was my turn. I stepped forward. The wood under my
Claimed by My Alpha's Ruthless Twin Brother The Quiet War
Peace didn’t look like what I thought it would. I thought peace would feel loud. Like cheers in the courtyard. Like fires burning late into the night. Like wolves finally laughing without looking over their shoulders. It wasn’t. Peace was quiet. Too quiet. The kind of quiet that made you check your knife twice and sleep with one eye open. A week after Corin died, the eastern villages stopped reporting in. At first I thought it was weather. The pass had iced over. Messengers couldn’t get through. Then day three passed. Then day four. “No smoke,” Kael said when we climbed the ridge at dawn. He pointed east. “No fires. No movement.” I frowned. “They should be butchering for winter by now.” Kade stood beside me, arms crossed. “We ride at noon.” We took ten wolves. Fast, light, no banners. If this was a trap, I didn’t want half the pack walking into it. The road to the eastern villages was empty. No carts. No footprints. No scent of cooking meat. Just wi
Claimed by My Alpha's Ruthless Twin Brother The Final Stand
Moonshadow Pack wanted to talk about my father. That meant it was either a trap or a truth I wasn’t ready for. I chose to go anyway. Because if there was even a chance my father didn’t die in that hunter attack, I had to know. Because if it was a trap, I’d walk into it with Kade and Kael at my back and burn it down. We rode south at dawn. Three wolves. No escort. No banners. Just me, Kade, and Kael. Alpha Kaelen met us at the border stones. Tall, silver-haired, with eyes like a storm. Behind him stood twenty wolves, all armed. Not a show of force. A show of seriousness. “Aria,” Kaelen said. “Alpha Kaelen,” I said. “Walk with me.” We walked into the woods. No guards. No backup. Just history and secrets between us. When we were deep enough, Kaelen stopped and pulled out a small wooden box. Old. Carved with Redwood’s sigil. “Your father gave me this the night before he died,” he said. My heart stopped. “What is it?” “Evidence,” he s
Claimed by My Alpha's Ruthless Twin Brother The Border Meeting
Riding alone to meet Roric felt different this time. Last time I was carrying anger. This time I was carrying a journal, a dead packmate’s name, and the weight of knowing exactly what I was fighting for. The border stones were empty when I arrived. No wolves. No ambush. Just Roric standing by the old oak, arms crossed, watching the south road like he expected trouble. “Aria,” he said when I stopped ten feet away. “Roric.” “Walk with me.” We walked into the woods. No guards. No backup. Just two wolves who’d killed enough people to know when to stop talking and start listening. When we were deep enough that neither pack could see us, he stopped and pulled out a map. Not Blackridge’s map. Mine. Redwood’s border map, marked with red X’s in my own handwriting. “You’ve been busy,” he said. I glanced at it. “Vex’s old routes. Rogue drop points. I’ve been closing them.” Roric nodded. “Good. Because they’re not done.” He pointed to a spot on
Claimed by My Alpha's Ruthless Twin Brother The Truth
Riding alone to meet Alpha Roric felt wrong. Every instinct I had screamed to turn back, to bring Kael, to bring Kade, to bring ten wolves and burn Blackridge to the ground just in case. But I didn’t. Because if I wanted Redwood to stop being afraid, I had to stop being afraid first. The border stones came into view at noon. Roric was already there. Alone. No wolves. No weapons visible. He looked different up close. Older than I remembered from the alliance talks. More tired. Like he’d been carrying something heavy for a long time and was ready to put it down. “Aria,” he said when I stopped ten feet away. “Roric,” I said. “Walk with me.” We walked into the woods. No guards. No backup. Just two Alphas’ seconds and a lot of bad history between our packs. When we were deep enough that Redwood couldn’t see us, he stopped. “I owe you the truth,” he said. “You already gave me part of it,” I said. “Not all of it.” He pulled a small leather jour
Claimed by My Alpha's Ruthless Twin Brother Blackridge
Blackridge Pack hated Redwood. That was common knowledge. They called us weak. Called Kade a coward. Called me a mistake that should’ve been killed at birth. So when Alpha Roric’s seal showed up on a letter asking for an alliance, I knew it was a trap. The postscript made it worse. ‘Come alone, Aria. We need to talk about your mother.’ My mother died when I was ten. Rogue attack, they said. Body never found. Kael read the letter over my shoulder and swore. “It’s a trap,” he said. “Obviously,” Kade said, pacing the war room. “But we need to know what they know.” I folded the letter and stood up. “Then we go. Together.” Kade stopped pacing. “You’re not going alone, Aria.” “I know,” I said. “That’s why you’re coming.” Kael grinned. “About time we crashed a party.” --- Blackridge territory was two days’ ride south. Rough land. Rougher wolves. We went light. Just me, Kade, and Kael. No escort. If this was a trap, more wolves j
Claimed by My Alpha's Ruthless Twin Brother The First Nightmare
I slept without dreams for the first time in months. No screaming. No boots. No Kade’s voice cutting through my chest like glass. Just darkness. Quiet. Safe. When I woke, the cabin was still dark. Dawn hadn’t come yet, but my body was awake. Sore. Every muscle protested as I sat up, but it w
Claimed by My Alpha's Ruthless Twin Brother Redwood Scouts
Pack scouts. From Redwood. The words hit me like ice water. I stared at Kael, heart pounding so hard I was sure he could hear it. “How do you know?” “Smell,” he said, jaw tight. “Two of them. Beta rank. Circling the eastern border for the last hour. They’re looking for something. Or some

I woke up sore in places I didn’t know could be sore. My arms burned. My thighs shook when I stood. Even blinking felt like effort. “Morning,” Kael said from the doorway, holding two steaming mugs. “You look like death.” “Thanks,” I muttered, taking the mug. “What is this?” “Herbal tea. F
Claimed by My Alpha's Ruthless Twin Brother First Blood
Day two started with pain. Not the sharp, humiliating pain of Kade’s fists. This was different. Deep, burning, earned pain in my muscles that told me I’d actually used them. “Up,” Kael’s voice cut through the cabin at dawn. I groaned and rolled off the cot, my legs shaking before I even sto
