Juliette’s POV

By the time I’d reached Bryson’s office, my mind had become a mess, my pulse losing its rhythm Im the process.

The door clicker shut very quietly behind me with a soft thud that somehow still managed to sound like a lock, making me feel a little cornered. “Get it together Mercer” i whispered to myself.

He stood by his desk, his damp hair giving me flashbacks from that dream. Reluctantly drawing my eyes away from his face as I swallowed hard, I tried to pull myself together and steady my erratic heartbeat.

My eyes landed on his broad shoulders that looked tensed beneath his compression shirt. It was clear he hadn’t even bothered changing yet.

The air was filled with the faint smell of cedar and mint was, his cologne.. the same scent from the dream.. a scent that did things to me, things that I wasn’t brave enough to admit even to myself.

He didn’t look at me at first, just kept his gaze glued to something on his desk. Then after what seemed like an eternity,

  • Claimed by the wolves.   Chapter One Hundred & Nineteen - The Eternal Watch.

    Juliette’s POVThe forest lay quiet, but quiet never meant safety. The trees swayed in a gentle wind, their leaves whispering secrets that only the sharpest senses could decipher. I stepped carefully along the narrow path, the faint light of dawn filtering through the canopy, casting fractured patterns on the forest floor. Dorian and Bryan flanked me, their eyes scanning the shadows as if they could see threats that my own eyes could not. Behind us, the Warrior’s presence throbbed in my mind—a steady, unyielding pulse that anchored me, sharpened me, guided me.Rowan’s allies had vanished after our last encounter, but their silence felt like a warning, a promise of danger lingering just beyond sight. Every instinct screamed vigilance. The forest was no longer just a path to the coordinates; it was a living maze of unseen predators, traps, and tests. And we had learned, through fire and blood, that nothing should be taken at face value.We moved in perfect sync, a unit honed by battles

  • Claimed by the wolves.   Chapter One Hundred & Eighteen - Journey Into The Unknown.

    Juliette's POVThe forest greeted us like a living, breathing entity—its canopy thick, shadows long, and the air heavy with a scent of moss, wet earth, and something older, something predatory. The coordinates Rowan had left guided our path, but instinct and the Warrior’s spiritual tether sharpened my awareness. Every snap of a twig, every rustle of leaves, felt amplified in my mind, as though the forest itself were whispering warnings I could barely decipher.I kept my gaze forward, muscles coiled, senses extending beyond my own body. The Warrior’s presence hummed in my consciousness, a steady pulse of reassurance and alertness. He was physically back with the pack, maintaining their safety and honing their skills, yet spiritually he moved alongside me. I could feel him in the brush of my hair, the beat of my heart, the tremor of my pulse—a silent echo that warned me of every hidden danger.Dorian and Bryan flanked me, moving with quiet efficiency. Their eyes scanned every shadow, ev

  • Claimed by the wolves.   Chapter One Hundred & Seventeen - Echoes Of The Past.

    Juliette's POV:The first rays of dawn cut through the trees, brushing the remnants of the fortress rubble with a soft glow. I stood at the edge of the training grounds, breathing in the crisp air, feeling the weight of silence after the chaos Rowan had left behind. The pack was alive again—its laughter, shouts, and the rhythm of running paws on the field carried a strange sense of hope. Even in sport, there was order, precision, teamwork—a reflection of what we needed in the battles to come.Liora moved with a commanding grace, organizing drills and coordination exercises for the protectors. The Warrior, still physically present among them, led the more intense sessions. His body, trained to endure punishment and strike with precision, set a pace that tested the limits of our pack. I could see the respect the others held for him, the way they followed his guidance like a well-oiled team. But it wasn’t just physical. Spiritually, he was tethered to me, a silent anchor in my mind, a st

  • Claimed by the wolves.   Chapter One Hundred & Sixteen - Whispers In The Wind.

    Juliette’s POV:The rising sun burned through the remnants of dust and smoke, casting long, golden streaks across the ruins of the fortress. I stood atop a ridge, overlooking the pack as they moved through the debris like ants rebuilding a colony. Liora’s voice rang out, crisp and commanding, directing squads to fortify weak points, organize patrols, and train the younger wolves in defensive formations. I could see the Warrior moving with precision among them, correcting stances, adjusting grips, showing them how to anticipate attacks before they happened. He was physically here, a pillar of strength for the pack, yet in my mind, the tether between us hummed like a living thing.It had been days since Rowan’s defeat, and though the fortress lay in ruins, the pack’s spirit was intact. But the calm was deceptive. Every instinct in me screamed that danger lingered, that the quiet after destruction was never truly safe. I could feel it in the shift of the wind, in the tremor of the trees,

  • Claimed by the wolves.   Chapter One Hundred & Fifteen - A New Dawn.

    Juliette’s POVI looked at the three of them—Dorian, Bryan, and Liora—and knew that my next choice would define everything. Rowan was gone, but revenge tugged at the edges of my mind. I could end this with retribution, letting my anger dictate my final act. I could make him pay, send him into the same darkness he had tried to drown us in. But as I watched the ruined fortress around us, I realized that revenge wouldn’t bring back the lives lost, nor would it heal the pack. Mercy—that fragile, difficult, and yet powerful choice—was what would define me as an Omega, what would prove that our strength was more than violence, more than control. It was about protection, about leadership, about choosing a path that honored those who depended on me.The wind carried the dust away, revealing the fortress beneath the rising sun. Jagged stones jutted into the air like broken teeth, remnants of Rowan’s power crumbling under the weight of his defeat. My gaze swept across the ruins, lingering on th

  • Claimed by the wolves.   Chapter One Hundred & Fourteen - The Final Stand.

    Juliette’s POVThe fortress trembled violently around us. Dust and debris filled the air, and the roar of collapsing stone echoed through every corridor. My lungs burned as I pushed forward, the warrior’s presence still tethered to me, guiding each step, each movement. Dorian was at my side, his eyes sharp and alert, Bryan close behind, fists crackling with restrained energy. Together, we were a force, but the chaos threatened to tear us apart.I could feel Rowan’s shadow lingering, even in defeat. His presence clung to the walls like a toxic fog, whispers of his rage and desperation brushing against my mind. But he was broken, weakened, and his plans had unraveled. The dagger he had once wielded glinted among the rubble, now useless, symbolic of the power he had lost.“Juliette, this way!” Dorian shouted over the deafening collapse, pulling me toward a crumbling passage that led to an upper chamber. The stones shifted underfoot, unstable, and I had to focus, drawing upon the tethered
