The camp didn’t sleep after that night.

It felt as if the dream had ripped something open between us all, a raw wound none of us knew how to stitch shut. Whispers ran through the rogues like wildfire, feeding on fear, suspicion, and hunger for answers no one had.

Some accused Kael of leading us into ruin, others murmured that I was a curse dropped in their midst. No matter which side they fell on, everyone carried unease in their eyes.

And Kael… Kael had disappeared into himself.

I saw him at dawn, standing near the treeline where mist clung to the earth like a shroud. His shoulders were squared but heavy, his jaw tight as though every muscle in his face had forgotten how to soften. The moment my eyes found him, he turned and vanished into the trees. No words. No orders. Not even a glance my way.

He was retreating. And the camp felt it.

By midday, the rogues were circling like restless wolves with no alpha to steady their stride. Fights broke out over food, over whose turn it was to g

  • Claimed by the Untamed Alpha   CHAPTER 57

    The meeting had ended, but Mira’s words clung to me like poison. Your father’s sins will kill him. But yours will kill all of us.Even now, hours later, the sound of them rang inside my skull, sharp and merciless, as though her voice had lodged itself into my bones.Kael stalked ahead of me as we left the chamber, his broad shoulders stiff, his entire body moving with the taut energy of a predator caging back his fury. I trailed him, pulse pounding, eyes darting to the rogues who parted the way in silence. Every one of them had heard. Every one of them had seen Silverpine’s smugness, Mira’s viper smile. And I could feel the doubt bleeding into the air like smoke.Corin fell into step beside me, his face drawn tight. He didn’t look at me directly, but his hand brushed lightly against my arm as if to anchor me. Stay steady, the touch seemed to say. But steady was the last thing I felt.Kael stormed into his tent once we were out of sight of the others. He didn’t wait for me to enter, di

  • Claimed by the Untamed Alpha   CHAPTER 56

    The morning broke heavy with the scent of rain, though no clouds stained the sky. Aria felt it in the air as she walked through camp, the weight of something inevitable pressing down, a storm waiting for its cue. The rogues moved with nervous energy, sharpening blades, whispering in tight clusters, avoiding her gaze or staring too long. She had grown used to that duality by now, fear and awe, tangled together, both branded on her skin.Kael had called for a council at dawn, his voice brooking no argument. Not the usual council of rogues, no, it was different this time. Today was about Silverpine. About meeting them face-to-face instead of clashing in shadows. About trying, against all odds, to keep blood from flooding the earth.But Aria knew better. Nothing good came from sitting across a table from wolves who already dreamed of your death.She tugged her cloak tighter around her shoulders as she crossed the camp. The leather brushed her arms like a second skin, but it did nothing to

    The words echoed long after I slipped away from his tent.I won’t let fate take her.They looped inside me, colliding with my own racing thoughts until I barely noticed the chill of the night air. For a man who had shut himself off so ruthlessly, those words were a crack in the armor, a sliver of truth bleeding through.But cracks could mean many things. They could mean strength faltering. Or… they could mean something fragile, buried, beginning to push its way to the surface.I didn’t sleep that night. My mind wouldn’t allow it.By morning, the camp had slipped back into its restless rhythm, but something had shifted. Not in Kael, he was still gone from sight, but in the rogues themselves.Silverpine’s demand weighed heavier by the hour. People began to gather in tight knots, their voices dropping low when I passed. Some stared too long at me, eyes sharp with unspoken questions. Others refused to look at me at all, as if ignoring me might erase the problem entirely.It was only a mat

    Aria’s chest heaved, sweat clinging to her skin as though she had run for miles. The phantom image of Kael’s blood on her hands wouldn’t wash away. Even as she rubbed her palms hard against her blanket, she still felt it, warm, sticky, damning.Her breath came uneven, her throat raw with unshed screams. She pressed her fist against her mouth, but it didn’t muffle the sob that ripped free.She had killed him.Not in reality, but the dream had been so vivid, so searing, that her body shook with the echo of it. The weight of the sword. The look in his eyes, not anger, not resistance, but a quiet surrender that tore her heart in two.Acceptance.Her bond pulsed violently in her chest, an echo of Kael even though he wasn’t beside her. She clutched it like a lifeline, desperate for the steady thunder of his heartbeat to prove she hadn’t truly destroyed him.But the fire within her didn’t calm. It burned hotter, wilder, as though the dream had stoked it into a frenzy.She staggered out of th

  • Claimed by the Untamed Alpha   CHAPTER 52

    The night stretched long after Kael disappeared into the shadows, leaving Aria standing by the fire with her chest aching and her skin still burning where he had touched her. She wanted to scream, to shake him, to force the truth out of him, but the look in his eyes when he had said Not tonight clung to her.It wasn’t just avoidance. It was fear.Fear, from a man who had faced countless battles without blinking. Fear, from the wolf who had dragged her into this wild camp and bent her fate to his will.That terrified her more than the silence.By dawn, her decision was made. She wouldn’t wait for him to break. She would pry the truth from his chest, even if it left both of them bleeding.The camp woke heavy, the tension like a storm cloud pressing low against every tent. Rogues moved with clipped voices and sharper tempers. Aria could feel it in the air: something was unraveling. The whispers from the night before had spread like fire through dry grass. She caught fragments as she walk
