Kaelan’s arm was draped over her waist, his large body curled protectively around hers. The early morning light filtered through the curtains of his chambers, casting soft golden hues across the room. She was still in bed, the sheets tangled around them, her nightgown long dis

Claimed by the Ruthless Alpha CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN: THE HIDDEN FLAME
The garden felt different in the late afternoon light, the winter roses glowing with an almost ethereal silver under the fading sun. Celeste sat cross-legged on the soft grass of the flower bed, her hands resting lightly on her knees as Seraphine guided her through the breathing exercises. The older woman sat a short distance away, her sharp amber eyes focused and calm, the mole beneath her right eye catching the light.“Feel the power,” Seraphine murmured. “Don’t force it. Let it flow through you like a river finding its path.”Celeste closed her eyes, drawing in a slow breath. The bond in her chest hummed warmly, golden light spreading through her veins like liquid sunrise. She focused on it, letting the energy stir beneath h
Claimed by the Ruthless Alpha CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX: THE FIRE THAT LINGERS
The study felt heavier than usual that morning, the air thick with the scent of old parchment, burning pine from the hearth, and the faint metallic tang that always seemed to cling to the black stone walls of Ravencrest. Kaelan sat at the head of the long oak table, his fingers drumming a restless rhythm against the polished wood. The nightmare from the previous night still clung to him like smoke on his skin, the flames consuming everything, Celeste bleeding from her eyes and mouth, Seraphine broken beside her. The red glow of his tattoos had faded by dawn, but the memory of the heat, the screams, the way the bond in his chest had twisted in agony… it refused to leave him. He doesn't understand or know what it meant.He had decided to call on Celeste and Seraphine again to ask for their opinion and delve deeper into it. It must mean something.He had called them here. Seraphine and Celeste. The two women who seemed to hold pieces of the puzzle he desperately needed to solve.Seraphi
Claimed by the Ruthless Alpha CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE: THE FIRE IN THE DREAM
The study felt smaller than usual that morning, the weight of the nightmare still clinging to Kaelan like smoke on his skin. He had barely slept after the vision of fire and blood, the glowing red tattoos on his chest a constant reminder that something was shifting inside him. The bond in his chest pulled him toward Celeste, warm and insistent, but the fear in the dream, seeing her bleeding, Seraphine broken, the flames consuming everything had left him shaken.He had pulled them to the study after he met them in Celeste room. Seraphine and Celeste. The two women who seemed to hold the answers he desperately needed.They sat across from him at the large oak table, the morning light filtering through the tall windows. Seraphine’s sharp amber eyes
Claimed by the Ruthless Alpha CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR: THE FIRE THAT BURNS
The fire was everywhere.Kaelan stood in the middle of an inferno, flames licking at his skin, the heat so intense it felt like his bones were melting. The air was thick with smoke, choking his lungs, burning his eyes. He could hear screams in the distance. The screams and wails of his people, his pack, dying in the blaze he seemed to have somehow caused. The black stone of Ravencrest crumbled around him, towers collapsing in showers of sparks and ash.What was going on?He didn't have time to ponder, he had only one thought in his mind.Celeste.

Celeste woke slowly, wrapped in warmth and the steady rhythm of another heartbeat.Kaelan’s arm was draped over her waist, his large body curled protectively around hers. The early morning light filtered through the curtains of his chambers, casting soft golden hues across the room. She was still in bed, the sheets tangled around them, her nightgown long discarded somewhere on the floor.She shifted slightly, memories of the previous evening flooding back, the way Kaelan had taken her in bed, the slow, reverent way he had worshipped her body until she had come apart in his arms. Her cheeks flushed at the recollection, a pleasant ache between her thighs reminding her of how thoroughly he had claimed her.
Claimed by the Ruthless Alpha CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO: THE UNANSWERED QUESTION
The chambers assigned to the Asheville delegation in Ravencrest were elegant but cold. High ceilings, black stone walls softened by rich tapestries depicting ancient battles, and heavy curtains that blocked out most of the mountain wind. Liera sat at the small writing desk by the window, a quill idle in her hand, staring at the blank parchment in front of her. She had intended to write a report for her mother, observations on Ravencrest’s defenses, the mood of the court, the subtle tensions she had noticed during the dinner with Kaelan and his inner circle. Instead, the parchment remained empty, her mind drifting again and again to the same person.Ryke.The Alpha’s shadow. The man who h

Ravencrest was built from dark stone.That was the first thing she noticed as they came through the mountain pass, not the size of it, though it was enormous, not the iron gates that groaned open as they approached but the colour. Everything was dark. The walls, the towers, the road beneath the ho

Celeste had barely stepped out into the cool corridor when the pack bell rang . The sound cut through the night like a blade.Not the frantic, uneven toll of danger. Not the urgent call that sent warriors running toward the gates. This one was slower and formal.Celeste stopped where she was, the e
Claimed by the Ruthless Alpha CHAPTER ONE: Unopened Door
Celeste paused outside Thorne’s study, the tray in her hands trembling slightly. Steam curled gently from the teapot, carrying the calm scent of chamomile and honey but beneath it a scent slipped through the closed door, sweet, thick and unfamiliar.Not hers.Not anything from Silvermere.Another
