Elara

I stopped a few feet away from my mother, refusing to break eye contact. Her gaze drilled into me with pure venom.

“What exactly are you playing at?” she hissed, her voice low and dangerous. “First last night, and now this morning in the kitchen. Do you want the entire damn pack to know our business?”

I stared at her in absolute disbelief.

Inside my head, Nyx rushed forward, baring her fangs. “Let me out,” she snarled. “Let me tear into her.”

“Not here,” I thought back.

    ElaraKaelen’s shadow completely swallowed me.He was so close that his heat felt like a physical weight, pressing against my skin and making every nerve ending tingle. His hand was resting firmly against the glass right beside my ear, trapping me in the narrow space between his solid chest and the windowsill. The rich, suffocating scent of pine and winter rain swirled around us, dizzying my senses and sending my pulse into a frantic, chaotic race."I... I don't know what you're talking about," I stammered, my voice barely a whisper. I forced my hands to stay flat against my sides, refusing to let him see how badly my fingers were trembling. "Your political future has nothing to do with me, Kaelen. You're my stepbrother.""We aren't blood, Elara," Kaelen rumbled, his deep voice dropping into a rough, gravelly register that vibrated straight through my bones. He leaned down a fraction of an inch, his burning blue eyes boring directly into my soul. "And you didn't answer my question. Wh

    KaelenI had spent the last five hours drowning in the pack’s deep digital archives, trying to pull the original intake reports from when Susan first arrived at our territory. But every single file attached to her name before her marriage to my father was encrypted under a high-level Alpha clearance code that even I couldn't bypass yet. Someone had intentionally scrubbed her digital trail, and it only made me more certain that she was running from something massive.But the moment I stepped into the foyer and saw Elara, all the frustration in my head evaporated, replaced by a fierce, driving possessiveness."Elara," I rasped, my voice sounding rough even to my own ears.I closed the distance between us in three long strides, stopping right in her personal space. Her sweet strawberry-and-cream scent hit me like a physical blow, wrapping around my senses and making Lou claw at the edges of my control. I looked down at her, tracking the frantic beat of the pulse fluttering against the de

    ElaraMy fingers trembled as I unzipped my emerald sweater, throwing it onto the edge of the bed. I paced the length of my bedroom, the adrenaline from the creek still making my blood sing."Did you feel that, Elara?" Nyx whispered, her voice uncharacteristically soft, almost reverent. "When Lou touched our chest... it didn’t just feel like a random spark. It felt like finding a piece of ourselves we didn't even know we lost.""I felt it," I admitted silently, stopping by the balcony doors to look out at the dark tree line.My skin still tingled where Kaelen’s shoulder had brushed mine in front of my mother. The raw, heavy possessiveness he had displayed shielding me from her venom, threatening her with the pack elders was unlike anything I had ever experienced. It was thrilling, but it terrified me. Why was a man who barely knew me ready to burn down his own family dynamic just to protect my peace?"Because he’s a real Alpha," Nyx murmured, settling down in the shadows of my mind. "A

    KaelenThe electric current of the mate bond was still buzzing violently under my skin. Having her midnight-black wolf lean her head against my shoulder by the creek had been absolute heaven. Lou was practically purring in the back of my mind, completely drunk on her strawberry-and-cream scent.But the heavy, rushed footsteps echoing down the eastern trail destroyed the moment.I stood firmly in front of Elara’s massive black wolf form, my silver-gray shoulders rigid, eyes locked onto the dark tree line. Through our forced, rough link, I kept my mental voice tight and urgent. “Move, Elara. Now.”Behind me, I heard the soft, rapid rustle of her shifting back into her human form. She scrambled into the bushes where she had hidden her clothes. I turned my back to give her privacy, walking a few dominant paces forward to meet the intruder before they could round the bend of the creek.I shifted back behind a thick oak tree, rapidly pulling on my gym shorts. By the time I stepped back into

    ElaraThe lock on my bedroom door clicked into place with a definitive, heavy snap. I sank against the wood, my knees trembling as I let out a breath I felt like I’d been holding since I entered the penthouse."Magnificent," I whispered to the empty room.Kaelen had called Nyx magnificent. He had looked at me with those burning, intense blue eyes and told me I shouldn't have to fight my battles alone.In my mind, Nyx rolled over on her back, her massive paws stretching out as she let out a deeply satisfied, rumbling purr. "I told you he was eye candy, but wow. An Alpha-blood male standing up to a Luna for us? My heart is doing backflips, Elara.""Stop it," I muttered, pacing across the plush rug toward the window. "He's our stepbrother, Nyx. This attraction is dangerous. It’s messy. And why is he pushing my mother so hard? He’s going to cause a massive rift in this house.""He's doing it because he cares," Nyx pointed out, her violet eyes turning serious as she sat up. "He saw the sil

    KaelenThe grand dining hall became so quiet that the faint ticking of the grandfather clock in the corner sounded like cracks of thunder.Susan’s teacup rattled violently against its saucer as she set it down. Her face drained of color, her eyes darting between her husband and me. "Kaelen, that is completely uncalled for," she whispered, her voice tight with a mixture of panic and boiling defensive rage. "My past with my daughter is a private family matter.""It stops being a private matter when it affects the security of this pack," I retorted, my voice steady, cold, and dripping with an authority that made my father look up from his papers.Inside my mind, Lou was snarling, his teeth bared right at Susan. He wanted to rip the truth out of her throat. I kept my eyes fixed on Elara. She was sitting perfectly rigid, her hands clenched into fists in her lap, her bright blue eyes wide with a mix of shock and quiet terror. She hadn't expected me to push her mother into a corner like thi

    ElaraA shadow moved in the kitchen doorway.Nyx immediately went rigid, her senses flaring. Someone was lurking in the hall, watching us. I could physically feel the weight of their gaze.Kaelen’s eyes snapped toward the doorway, his handsome face hardening into a deep frown. He sniffed the air, a

    ElaraNyx was laughing uncontrollably in my head as I sat down next to Thomas.That was so humiliating. That kind of awkward nonsense could only happen to me.I could feel the others looking at me. I glanced up, and both Jayden and Shaun were wearing massive smirks. I cleared my dry throat, complet

    KaelenThomas's face softened, and he nodded in agreement.We turned the corner and headed down the main staircase toward the kitchen. But halfway down the hall, an incredible scent wafted through the air.Pancakes.My stomach gave a loud, involuntary growl. "Mmm," Thomas grinned. "That smells amaz

    KaelenSomething was thundering outside my room.I shifted in bed with a heavy sigh, staring up at the dark ceiling. In my head, Lou grumbled in annoyance but refused to get up, rolling over to go back to sleep.The thundering sound echoed again, and I finally realized someone was pounding on my be
