The next morning at training, Alpha Anders put me up against three of his warriors. Not exactly a surprise. Dad has been training me for multiple attackers most of my life.

Two of them would be easy enough to drop. The third? That would take work.

Next to me and the ranked wolves, Jared was the best fighter in the squad. He didn’t rely on brute strength like Most warriors did with me. He studied his opponent, learned their habits, their weaknesses. He still hadn’t found mine, but that didn’t stop him from trying.

Miles and Damon? Those two would be down in under thirty seconds if I played it right. Miles was cocky, Damon was all brawn and no strategy.

They formed a loose triangle around me. Jared stood in front, my biggest threat, while I kept Miles and Damon in my peripheral vision.

Jared moved first, testing me with a swing aimed at my gut. I ducked under his arm, dropped to my knees, and slid toward Miles. My fist shot upward, straight between his legs. The sound he made was half-g

  • FATED BY FIRE   CHAPTER 18

    Lucian's POV The hall smelled of tension before a single word was spoken.The great stone walls of the council chamber carried the weight of centuries of blood, power, and law. Wolves had knelt here, sworn oaths here, died here. Tonight, though, all I smelled was hunger. Not for food. For answers. For me. For her.I stood at the head of the room, spine straight, expression carved from stone. Kieran prowled to my left, jaw tight, his eyes never leaving me. He knew. He’d seen the way I’d looked at her. The way I’d pushed her on the mat, claiming her in front of every warrior bold enough to watch.Good. Let him seethe. His anger was proof of what I already knew: Cara mattered. To him. To me. To this pack.And she would be mine.The doors opened.Her scent hit first. Clean rain, sharp steel, wild earth. Cara. She stepped in with her father at her side, her chin lifted, her eyes daring anyone to look at her too long. Strong. Defiant. She carried herself like someone who had survived too

    Cara's POVThe whispers started before sunrise.I heard them in the halls, drifting past the cafeteria, curling through training grounds like smoke. My name in hushed tones, mixed with Lucian’s.“She’s sitting with him at the gathering.”“Did you see them last night?”“Kieran’s not going to let that stand.”When I reached my locker, the weight of their stares pressed down on me so hard it felt like I was carrying stones. Every glance said the same thing: she has to choose.I slammed the locker shut harder than I meant to, the sound echoing down the corridor.“Rough morning?”I didn’t need to look up. Kieran’s voice was a familiar blend of teasing and sharp, like he was always testing my patience. He leaned against the locker next to mine, arms crossed, a smirk tugging his mouth.“Did you know about this?” I demanded.His brows rose. “About what?”“The rumors.”He tilted his head, studying me. “Ah. So you’ve heard.”My stomach twisted. “It’s true then? He wants me at his table?”Kiera

    Lucian's povKai hadn’t calmed down since last night.He paced inside me like a caged animal, claws raking, teeth snapping. Every time I tried to focus, his growl filled my head. She is ours. Claim her. Rip him apart.It was a constant pressure, a demand that grew harder to ignore.I forced him down long enough to lace up my boots and head to the training field. I needed to hit something, to bleed off the energy that was turning my bones to fire. But the second I stepped outside, I caught her scent on the wind.Wild. Sharp. Sweet.Cara.Kai lunged again, snarling so hard my vision blurred. Find her. Bite her. Now.I clenched my fists and growled under my breath. “You think I don’t want to?”The problem was, I wanted it too much. Enough to lose control. Enough to start the war I’d been trying to avoid.The war Kieran seemed determined to provoke.That smug bastard didn’t even try to hide it anymore. Walking her through the halls like she was already his, leaning against her locker, br

    Cara's povWhen I woke up, my heart was still hammering from the dream. My sheets clung to my skin, damp with sweat, and my body thrummed with an ache I couldn’t shake. Worst of all, I knew the name I’d whispered in my sleep.Lucian.I shoved the thought away and dragged myself out of bed. Cold water splashed on my face, but it didn’t clear the fog. No amount of scrubbing could wash away the shame crawling under my skin.By the time I made it to school, I had convinced myself it was nothing. Just exhaustion. A dream wasn’t real. A dream didn’t mean anything.Except it felt real. Too real.Kieran was waiting by my locker again. He was always waiting now. His smile hit me like a spotlight, drawing every eye in the hall.“Morning,” he said, his voice low and smooth. He leaned close, his arm braced on the locker beside mine. “Sleep well?”I forced a laugh, ignoring the way my pulse jumped. “Like a rock.”He grinned, clearly pleased with himself. Too pleased. He didn’t move, and I knew wh

    Cara's povBy Monday morning, I was dragging. The weekend had wrung me dry, and between training, sleepless nights, and my own traitorous thoughts, I felt like I hadn’t rested in weeks. My arms still ached from holding that damned dummy in the pool, my legs burned from endurance drills, and my head spun from trying to cram toxic plant properties into my brain while treading water.Coffee didn’t fix it. Neither did food. I was running on fumes, but there was no slowing down. Guardians didn’t get sick days.At school, I kept my head down, but it didn’t take long for the whispers to start.“She kissed him at Inferno.”“Kieran dragged her onto the dance floor. Everyone saw it.”“Bet he claims her at the party.”Heat crept up my neck as I pushed past a group of girls who weren’t even trying to keep their voices down. My wolf stirred uneasily, her ears flicking at every mention of his name. Selene didn’t like the gossip. She didn’t like anyone else talking about Kieran—or Lucian.Let them

    Cara's povWhen I said goodbye to Kieran, my whole body was thrumming like a live wire. The man was sex on legs, every look and every touch winding me tighter. My wolf, Selene, was still pacing in my chest, claws itching to mark him, to pull him closer, to make him ours.But as much as I wanted to think I had it under control, I knew I didn’t.I crept into the packhouse quietly, grateful that Dad was already asleep. His senses were sharp enough to catch the smallest sound, but he’d trained hard all day and even Guardians needed rest. If he knew the kinds of thoughts running through my head, he’d lose it.In my room, I undressed quickly and slid beneath the sheets. Normally I wore something light to bed, but tonight I didn’t bother. My body was restless, pulsing with need, and I knew I wouldn’t sleep until I found release. I only had a few hours before training, but right now, this felt more urgent than sleep.I let my hand trail over my breasts, cupping them, teasing the nipples until
