Kieran’s POV

All day at school, I watched her. I couldn’t help it. My attention drifted to her no matter how hard I tried to focus on my classes or the endless chatter of others around me. I tried to approach her several times, but every time, something got in the way. A group of girls would cling to me in the hall, asking if I was going out tonight, or if I’d sit with them at lunch. When I shook them off and looked for her, she was gone. Always gone.

I’d never been so aggravated about having girls hanging off me before. Usually, I let them flirt, tease, and touch. Tonight, though, all I wanted was to know her name, hear her voice, and see if her eyes looked at me the same way mine looked at her. She was my mystery girl, and the fact that I couldn’t get close was pissing me off.

By the time I got home, my mood was trash. I took it out on my warriors during training. Jared, Damon, and Jason were all grumbling and limping by the time we were done. I didn’t care. They could complain all

  • 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

  • FATED BY FIRE   CHAPTER 17

    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

  • FATED BY FIRE   CHAPTER 15

    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

  • FATED BY FIRE   CHAPTER 14

    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

  • FATED BY FIRE   CHAPTER 13

    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
