Zane

“Your nephew,” Elder Tobias said. “Kaius is of age. A strategic marriage alliance could strengthen our position while we wait for your heir. Also—”

“No.” The words left my lips before I even thought of it.

All five elders stared at me.

“No?” Marius repeated carefully.

“Kaius makes his own choices regarding marriage.” My voice was firm. “I won’t force him into a political arrangement.”

“Even if it benefits the pack?” Cora challenged.

“Even then.”

Silence fell across the table.

I could feel their judgment. Their confusion. It was obvious they had expected me to agree immediately, to see the strategic value in using Kaius as a backup plan.

But I could not.

Not after seeing the look on Tiana’s face when I had asked her to do exactly that. Not after hearing the defeat in her voice when she had accused me of twisting everything.

And maybe I had suggested it to her as an excuse to send Kaius away from the pack, but the elders wanting it could put him under some

  • Claimed by the Alpha, Desired by His Blood   Chapter 56

    Tiana His silence was answer enough. As usual, he had no intention to tell me. “You should have said something,” I whispered. “You would have gotten better treatment by now.” “I’m fine.” “You’re not fine. You’re—” I cut myself off before my voice could rise. The last thing we needed was to wake the other wolves. “Please. Just let me help.” “I know I can’t heal it.” Frustration bled into my tone despite my best efforts. “But I can at least keep you warm. Keep you from going into shock while your body fights off the poison.” Another tremor ran through him. “Please,” I said again, softer this time. “Just for tonight. Let me do this.” For a long moment, he didn’t move. Then, slowly, Zane’s grip on my wrist loosened. His arm came around me hesitantly, like he wasn’t sure if he was allowed. I settled against him more fully, one leg carefully draped over his uninjured side, my body pressed along the length of his. Sharing warmth. Offering comfort he wouldn’t ask for

    Tiana I almost scoffed. ‘I am not a child’ when acting like one. Such hypocrisy. I stood outside the tent for a long moment after he dismissed me, staring at the firelight dancing across the clearing. Normal. Everything looked so normal. Except for the Alpha sitting alone on that log, bleeding through his shorts and refusing help because his pride—or his anger, or whatever twisted thing was eating at him—wouldn’t let him accept it from me. Each repetition of his words echoed in my head, driving the knife deeper. I wanted to scream at him, then grab his shoulders and shake him until he understood that Kaius was just a friend and that I hadn’t done anything wrong. He needed to be told that his jealousy was tearing us apart. But what would be the point? He’d already decided what he believed. And nothing I said would change that. I turned and ducked back into the tent, letting the canvas flap fall closed behind me. The space felt smaller now. Two bedrolls lay side

    Then again, it was a faint scent. More pronounced was the smell of the herbal trees of our woods. Which meant that he had intentionally masked it. My wolf whined with distress, wanting to go to him. To check on him and make sure he was alright. But I forced her down, kept my pace steady, and said nothing. By the time we reached the border camp, the sun was beginning its descent toward the horizon. Golden light slanted through the trees, painting everything in warm amber. The camp itself was more organized than I’d expected. Several tents already stood in a cleared area, with a fire pit in the center and supplies stacked neatly to one side. Zane dismounted first, his movements still controlled but definitely stiff now. He gave orders in that calm, commanding voice that made wolves snap to attention. Kaius appeared at my elbow as I finished adjusting my boots. “You did well on the run.” “Thank you.” “First time traveling like that?” “As Luna, yes.” He nodded, t

    Tiana I woke to sunlight filtering through the curtains and the immediate, visceral awareness of my body. Everything ached. Not the pleasant soreness from a good stretch or a long walk. This was different. My thighs trembled when I tried to shift positions. The space between my legs felt tender, oversensitive, like every nerve ending had been stripped raw and left exposed. And with the physical awareness came the memories. Zane’s hands on my skin. His fingers inside me. His voice reminding me exactly who I belonged to. The way I’d cried. Not just from pleasure, though goddess knows there had been plenty of that. Heat flooded my face even though I was alone. I pressed my palms against my cheeks, trying to cool the burn of shame that crawled up my throat. ‘What is wrong with me?’ I should be angry and feel violated, used, or any number of righteous emotions that would make sense given what had happened. Yet, my wolf practically stirred inside me, stretching lazily

    TianaHe added a third finger, stretching me and filling me so completely that I gasped. The sensation bordered on too much, but he didn’t slow down. His fingers curved inside me, hitting that spot that made my vision white out, while his thumb kept that maddening pressure on my clit. “You feel that?” His breath was ragged now, his control slipping. “Do you feel how your body takes me? How it was made for this?” I could barely breathe, so I gave no answer. His free hand slid up my spine, pressing between my shoulder blades to keep me pinned face-down. The position left me completely at his mercy, unable to move and unable to escape the pleasure building to an unbearable peak. “I can feel you clenching around my fingers,” he murmured, his voice rough. “You’re close. So fucking close.” He was right. The coil in my belly wound tighter with every thrust of his fingers, every circle of his thumb. My thighs trembled. My hands fisted so hard in the sheets that I worried I might

    TianaHis palm was warm against my skin. His fingers wrapped around my ankle completely while his thumb brushed against the bone there. “Alpha, what are you doing?” “I said don’t move.” His hand slid higher. Slowly. Up to my calf, tracing the curve of muscle with deliberate precision. My breath came in short, shallow gasps. Every nerve in my body screamed at me to do something—pull away, sit up, insist on knowing what he was doing. But I couldn’t move. With every inch his hand travelled, my wolf stirred, practically purring with satisfaction. “You don’t understand, do you?” His voice was barely above a whisper now. “What it does to every man. Seeing a woman like this.” His hand reached the back of my knee then paused there. “Or seeing the way you smiled and laughed with him.” Wait! Was this about… Kaius? This was about Kaius. “I wasn’t—” My voice cracked. “He got injured. I was just helping him take care of it.” “Helping him as what? The healer?” His fing
