FATED BY FIRE CHAPTER 36
Cara’s POVI woke with blood in my mouth and Lucian’s scent on my lips. His skin still burned where his fingers had held my jaw. My chest heaved. The world tilted, then steadied.The kiss had been a war. Raw. Claiming. Dangerous. He had taken what he wanted and left no room for argument. My body remembered every rough stroke. My mind did not forgive him.I sat up slowly. The healers were still around. Evelyn moved like a shadow, efficient, careful. She did not meet my eyes. I knew why. Our private chaos had not been private at all.I swung my legs over the bed and the room lurched. Pain tightened across my ribs. A thin thread of anger tightened too. I had a hole in me that no amount of training filled. Lucian had touched it. He had named it.“Cara.” My father’s voice came through the door. He did not knock. He never did. He appeared when he knew he was needed. He was a steady man with a steady ache. He had seen more loss than anyone I knew.“Come in,” I said. My voice sounded small a
FATED BY FIRE CHAPTER 35
Cara’s POVSleep never came.I tossed under my sheets, staring at the ceiling until the shadows bled into gray dawn. My body was tired, aching from yesterday’s training and the endless weight of my father’s expectations, but my mind was restless. Every time I closed my eyes, I heard Lucian’s voice echoing.You don’t belong to me yet. But you will.It unsettled me. Infuriated me. But beneath the storm of emotions was a traitorous truth—I hadn’t pushed him away. I had let him say it, let him brush his hand against mine, let myself feel that pull like a live wire humming under my skin.When I dragged myself out of bed and into the training yard, the air was already thick with tension. The warriors drilled in tighter formations than usual, their movements sharp, efficient, deadly. Fear lingered in the pack like smoke after a fire. Everyone had heard the news: rogues were pressing closer.I shoved my hair into a braid and forced my body into the motions of training. My father’s voice cut t
FATED BY FIRE CHAPTER 34
Cara’s POVWaking felt like dragging myself out of a deep, heavy pool. My chest ached, my limbs felt bruised from the inside out, and my ribs protested every breath I took. But the sharpest sensation wasn’t pain it was the weight of a presence pressing into the room.Lucian.He sat in the chair beside my bed, broad shoulders hunched forward, dark hair falling into his face as if he hadn’t moved in hours. His hands were clasped together, knuckles white, the posture of a man trying to contain too much.I blinked a few times, thinking maybe it was some fever dream. But no, he was there. Alpha Lucian, ruler of Shadow Falls, storm of a man who had tangled himself into my life whether I wanted him to or not.My throat felt dry, but the question slipped out anyway. “Why?”His eyes lifted, sharp and predatory, locking onto mine. I nearly flinched.“Why what?” His voice was rough, like gravel dragged over stone.“Why stay here?” My voice cracked, but I forced it steady. “I’m not your responsi
FATED BY FIRE CHAPTER 33
Cara’s POVThe training yard was slick with rain from the night before, the mud clinging to my boots as I sparred with two warriors at once. Sweat ran down my spine, my arms burning from blocking and countering blows. My father’s voice echoed in my head, pushing me harder than even the men in front of me.“Focus. Precision. Control.”I ducked under a strike, slammed my shoulder into one opponent’s ribs, and used the momentum to sweep his legs out. The second came at me from behind, but I twisted, using his own weight to throw him into the mud. Both men groaned, defeated, and I stood panting, fists clenched, waiting for the next order.Lucian’s gaze was on me. I felt it like a touch across my skin.Every time his eyes tracked me, I grew restless. Stronger, faster, sharper. Like I wanted to prove something to him, though I wasn’t sure what. His approval? His attention?I hated myself for caring.Liam hadn’t shown up for training that morning, and his absence only made the pull toward Lu
FATED BY FIRE Chapter 32
Cara’s POVThe door slammed behind Lucian with such force that the entire house seemed to shake. I stood frozen, my body trembling, his words echoing in my ears.Sooner or later, you’ll stop running.My stomach turned. My chest felt too tight. I wanted to scream at him, to claw at his face, to make him bleed for daring to speak like he owned me. But the worst part was the truth pulsing inside me. That strange, undeniable pull. The invisible tether that snapped every time his eyes met mine.I hated it.I hated him.I hated myself for not being able to shut it out.“Cara.” Cyran’s voice was soft, pulling me back from the fog. He touched my arm gently, careful like he was afraid I’d shatter. My head whipped around, and suddenly I was gripping him, pressing my face into his chest like I’d drown without the anchor of his heartbeat.He wrapped me up instantly, one hand cradling the back of my head, the other tightening around my waist. For a moment, it was everything I needed—warmth, safet
FATED BY FIRE CHAPTER 31
Lucian’s POVCyran’s voice grates in my ears long after he speaks. The protective tone he uses when he says her name burns hotter than fire in my chest.“Get away from her, Lucian.”The command lingers in the air, weak compared to the authority of a true Alpha. He isn’t her mate. He isn’t her future. Yet here he stands, puffing his chest like he has any right to challenge me.Kai snarls inside me, pacing, claws dragging at the edges of my control. He touches her again, I’ll take his throat out. Ours. She’s ours.My jaw clenches so tight I hear the crack of my teeth grinding. Cyran takes another step forward, putting himself between me and Cara. My mate. My wolf howls, furious at the sight. Cara presses her hand to his arm as if he is the one protecting her. My vision reddens at the betrayal.“I said get away,” Cyran repeats, his voice lower, but firm.I chuckle, a sound far more dangerous than laughter should ever be. “Or what, little Alpha?” My gaze slides to Cara, trembling, her wid
