LOGINAlpha heir Zyros never expected his return home to shatter everything he thought he knew about loyalty, blood, and destiny. Because the one person fate has bound him to… is the one woman he can never have. Selvara. His step-sister. Her scent, her heat, her soul calls to him with a pull stronger than law, stronger than blood, stronger than reason itself. But their bond is forbidden and punishable by exile or death. The truth of their connection could destroy not only them, but everyone they love. Caught between desire and duty, Zyros and Selvara must decide: Will they break every rule to claim each other…Or sacrifice their bond to save the pack? _______
View MoreSelvara's POVWe just knew we had to run and Zyros grabbed my arms immediately and we escaped through the closest entrance to us. Zyros and I ran for hours without stopping and I clung to his fur as we climbed higher into the mountains.Behind us I could still hear Eclipse warriors giving chase but they were falling further back. Zyros was faster than all of them. Finally he slowed and shifted back to human form. I slid off his back and my legs nearly gave out."We cannot keep running," I gasped. "They will catch us eventually.""I know," Zyros said. "We need to find shelter. Somewhere to hide until we figure out our next move." Behind us I could hear Queen Celine's guards getting closer."There," Zyros pointed to a narrow opening between two large boulders."We can slip through there. They might miss it."We squeezed through the gap and found ourselves in a small cave. It was dark and damp but it would have to do. Zyros pushed a loose rock across the entrance to partially hide it.
Selvara's POVWe left the cabin within minutes as there was no time to rest, no time to process what Tharis had told us. The three witches were dead and also summons from the Dragon Clans about something that was starting to turn into a mystery. Everything was spiraling out of control again."How far are the Northern Peaks?" Zyros asked while we saddled the horses."Two days of hard riding," Tharis replied. "Maybe less if we don't stop.""We can't afford to stop," I said. "If someone killed the witches who broke my binding, they might come for us next.""Agreed," Zyros said. He helped me onto my horse and mounted his own. "Let's move.""What do you think it means?" I had asked Zyros during one brief stop to rest the horses. "I don't know," he admitted. "But I don't like it. If the binding wasn't the real threat...""Then what is?" I finished but he had no answer either. We rode on and by dawn we had reached the foothills of the Northern Peaks."The Dragon messenger said to meet at th
Selvara's POVWe rode until we found an abandoned hunting cabin deep in the forest. Zyros checked inside to make sure it was safe before helping me down from the horse. My legs were shaky and I nearly fell but he caught me. "Easy. You have been through a lot." He said as he carried me in his arms."We both have," I replied.Inside the cabin was dusty but dry. There was a fireplace with wood already stacked beside it. Zyros got a fire going while I collapsed onto the single bed in the corner. "How do you feel?" he asked while sitting beside me. "Free," I said. "For the first time in weeks, my mind is my own again." "I am sorry it took so long," he said. "I should have found a way to reach you sooner.""You saved me," I replied. "That is what matters."I looked at him properly for the first time since the binding broke. He had cuts all over his face and arms. His clothes were torn and bloodstained and dark circles all over his eyes."You look terrible," I said softly."So do you," h
Zyros's POVEveryone nodded as the witches stayed close to me and I took a deep breath and stepped out of the trees. I walked straight toward the Eclipse camp with my sword drawn.The guards spotted me immediately. "Intruder! Sound the alarm!"Horns blared as warriors poured out of tents. Within seconds I was surrounded by at least fifty Eclipse wolves."Where is Selvara?" I demanded. "Where is Mordain keeping her?"One of the warriors laughed. "You walk into our camp alone and make demands? You are either very brave or very stupid.""Both," I admitted. "Now where is she?"Before they could answer, Mordain himself emerged from the largest tent. And beside him was Selvara with her eyes still blank just exactly as I had seen it yesterday l."Zyros," Mordain said with amusement. "I did not expect you to survive our last encounter. Color me impressed.""Let her go," I said."No," Mordain replied simply. "She belongs to me now.""She belongs to no one," I said. "Especially not you."Mordai
Zyros's POVI turned and ran like Vyra had told me to. The Eclipse warriors closed in from all sides and I fought through them while searching for any path to escape."Zyros, this way!" Tharis shouted while cutting down two Eclipse wolves. We ran toward the inner walls but the Eclipse army was eve
Zyros's POVI knew we were going for a losing battle, but what would you do when your loved one is in the hands of those that want to do nothing but take advantage of what she has? Three hundred against our seventy? We were definitely going to be slaughtered."There is something else," Nox said qui
Zyros's POVI woke up to someone shaking my shoulder hard."Zyros, wake up!" I heard as my eyes opened slowly and everything hurt. My chest, my back,my butt, my head. Gosh... Every damn where."What happened?" I managed to ask.Flair stood over me with worry written all over her face. "You were poi
Selvara's POVThe shadows wrapped around me and they sank into my skin, and it was very painful during the process. When it finally stopped I collapsed forward as the chains were the only thing keeping me upright."There," Mordain said. "Now you are mine. Completely." He unlocked the chains as I fe
