Someone was screaming his name, there was heat at his back, his fists kept hitting soft flesh, his anger rising with each unobstructed blow to the man beneath him. Someone rushed forward, clamping their hands around Matthiasโs midsection, and dragged him off of Killian. The person yelled something in his ear, and Matthias realized it was Silas. โDad, stop!โ he was yelling, โStop it!โ Matthias huffed, his chest heaving with each breath he took. Slowly, the haze of anger began to clear from his gaze, and he began to take in the havoc heโd wreaked. All around the clearing, the pack wolves had stopped all they were doing to stare, wearing matching looks of shock and horror, some of his men had gathered round him, probably to hold him off, and some of them stood to the side, helping Killian up. Matthias dragged his gaze forward, taking in the damage heโd done to the other alpha. His nose was bleeding, staining his white shirt, there were bruises on his face that were already healing

Matthias looked down at her, his gaze heavy on her as they stood next to each other, close enough that she could feel his heart beat against her chest, breathe the same air. She longed to close the space between them, feel his lips against her again, itโd been so long. The alpha was quiet for so long that Raine began to fear that he would actually reject her. Shame curdled deep in her chest, and she stepped back, turning to leave, but Matthias would not let her. Reaching out to grab her hand, he dragged her back into him and clamped his mouth down on her, shutting up whatever protest was brewing on her lips. Raine moaned in surprise, parting her lips and melting into the alphaโs warm hold. His hands wrapped around her, caging her in, and lifting her off her feet, Raine wrapped her legs around him, laughing breathlessly against his lips. He stared up at her, his grey eyes dark and intense. โWhat is this, Raine?โ he asked in a low voice. She shrugged, kissing him softly, pullin

She slept well into the morning. Cocooned in Matthiasโs warm embrace, it was one of the best sleeps sheโd had in a while. And sometime before daybreak, she began to dream. In the dream, she was running, the landscape was blurry and unfocused, but she could tell from the scent of grass, and the dew in the shrubbery beneath her feet, that she was in some kind of forest. It didnโt look like any of the forests she was familiar with, and she felt her heart pound in her chest as she ran, pumping with each stomp of her feet on the ground. Something moved behind her, an unfamiliar figure chasing after her. Raine pushed harder, surprised to find that with the heavy thump of fear in her chest, was also a thread of excitement. She wanted to scream and giggle in delight all at once. The shadow beneath her moved to her side, running in the trees next to her, and Raine was shocked to realize she recognized the flash of white hair, and the brief glow of bright blue eyes. Her heart beat faster,

He frowned at himself in the mirror, frowning at the slight bruising on his jaw. He cracked his jaw, poking at the tender spot. That bastard Matthias had socked him harder than heโd expected. And of all the bruises, this one refused to heal. Killian was losing his touch. The door opened with a bang, and Selene stormed in, angry and seething, she was so red it was like she was steaming at the ears. Killian shot her a look, one eyebrow cocked as he moved across the room to pick up his discarded shirt. โWhatโs the matter with you, now?โ he asked, watching Hansel step in behind her, he leaned against Killianโs vanity, absently fondling the bottles there, while his gaze ran down Killianโs bare chest, his gaze dark. โA pup died!โ Selene screeched, her eyes wide with an emotion Killian couldnโt name. He stared at his sister, one brow cocked as he stared at her in confusion. โWhat the fuck are you talking about?โ โYou know what the fuck Iโm talking about!โ She hissed, stepping close

Ronan was walking on cloud nine. Things were going splendidly. After all the trouble heโd gone through to acquire Hansel in the presence of Thalia and Malte, his father had publicly rendered to dust, painting him as the villain and catalyst of the wards collapse, and tragically the death of that poor pup. Usually, Ronan was not one to rejoice in the face of a tragedy such as this, but a win was a win. And right now, the Draven pack was boiling with all sort of negativity, and everything seemed to be pointed straight at Matthias, not even Silas had anything to say in his fatherโs favor. Ronan wanted to laugh. Heโd had his doubts when Killian drew out the plan all those days ago, but somethingโd told him to go along with it, and if it fell through, there was always plan b. Thankfully, his father hadnโt disappointed. Things were going exactly as planned. While the pack boiled over at the border that morning, Ronan went in search of General Malte. He didnโt spot the man, or Thalia

Matthias was a wreck, and Lyra was not much better, neither was Silas for that matter. The whole pack was a hive of tension, and Raine wasnโt sure how she was to navigate it. When she got to the border where the pack was gathered, Matthias had dismissed her without so much as a backwards glance, his face was a mask of hard anger. Raine had actually been terrified, so much so that she gave the alpha a wide breadth and chose to stick by Lyraโs side instead. Later, when they were back in the pack house, Raine found out Lyraโd been the one to pronounce the pup dead, which explained why the other woman had been shaky all morning. Both of them sat at the dining tables, nursing a cup of tea Raine made when theyโd first arrived. It had gone cold now, and sat stale in the cups. Wolves milled in the parlor, their voice mingling amongst themselves, each voice louder than the other. Raine couldnโt pinpoint exactly what was going on, but it sounded like the crowd was slowing growing into an an

Raine walked for a while after Selene disappeared, her thoughts loud and relentless, filled with doubt, warnings, and a stubborn refusal to believe anything the other woman said. The sun was high overhead now, filtered through the trees and dappling the path before her. She kept walking anyway. Her feet moved of their own accord, past the familiar trail that led to the town, veering off into a quieter path that opened into one of the many small meadows scattered across Draven territory. She used to come here as a child, long before the weight of the world sat heavy on her shoulders. There was a time when her only worry had been her next shift, or how many pies she could sneak from the kitchen without getting caught. Now there was a dead pup, a broken ward, the pack was boiling over, and for some reason she couldnโt seem to shake that dream from early this morning. She lowered herself onto a moss-covered stone, letting her fingers trail through the tall grass beside her. The worl

When she was little, sometime around seven years old, sheโd followed a stranger whoโd claimed to be a friend of her fatherโs out of the pack, and heโd taken her down to his cottage, she couldnโt remember much of what happened afterwards, but she did know that Matthias had been the one to carry her back out of the house, much later when she was found. She could still recall the way itโd felt, having the man drag her through the woods, his big hands clasped over hers. It was the same way she felt now, following Killian through the meadow, her hand in his. Her pulse pounded erratically, and she wondered distantly if the alpha could hear the pounding of her heartbeat. If he did, he wasnโt acting like it. They pushed through the large expanse of land, passing nothing but trees on both sides. The contrast of his dark leather gloves against her pale skin sent a shiver down her spine, and for some reason, she was reminded of that nightmare. Killianโs hair had gotten a bit longer, it teas

According to Lyra, Raineโs bones had refused to heal because someone had used wolfs bane to separate her from her wolf, and had been doing it for so long, that her innate self had retreated so far back. Leaving her without her wolf and all the abilities that came with it. While Lyra said all these, Raine was asleep, having knocked out as soon as her head hit the pillow, so he couldnโt even ask her when sheโd first been exposed to the substance, he and Lyra needed an exact date to be able to determine just how long the poison had been circulating in her system. โWhere did you find her?โ Lyra asked after they sat in silence for twenty minutes. She was writing something at the desk, staring at him from across the small space. She couldnโt use her medic house in the meantime, so she was using this pack house bedroom as a make shift office. Ronan shook his head where he stood, towering over Raine in bed, watching her chest rise and fall with each shallow breath. She looked smaller th

It seemed like the entire world was at a standstill as Matthias watched his sonโs car draw closer and closer until it stopped just by the border. Ronan stepped out and froze, shocked to find everyone there. His gaze snapped to Killianโs briefly, and a flash of something went through his gaze. It looked a little like fear, but it was gone far too soon to be sure. Matthias wasnโt even looking at him long enough to be sure. The only thing he had eyes on was Raine. Itโd been only less than a week, but seeing her in the flesh was a knife to his gut. He hadnโt even realized how much heโd missed her until now. His wolf whined, drawing close and seeking the bond between them, but there was no answering call from her side. Just like it was that first night, Matthias felt like he was calling out to a brick wall. Something was wrong here. She looked like a shadow of her former self, and that was before she stepped out of the car, and he finally saw the cast on her leg and the crutches. Wha

Raine turned briefly to catch Seleneโs gaze and then she asked. โI wanna know what the deal is. With you and Selene. You come all the way over here to see her, and you hate driving. So tell me whatโs so special between you both thatโs git you so invested.โ Selene laughed out loud behind them, throwing her head back. โSuch a simple question. And the answer is very simple, Ronan loves me. You can relate. He hasnโt loved you a day in his life.โ I didnโt care bout the crutches in my hands or the cast on my hand. I growled for the first time in days, and lounged at Selene.

โWhat the fuck?โ Ronan gasped, staggering back into the room as the bedroom door opened wider. He stared at Raine like he wasnโt a hundred percent sure she was even really there. He turned his attention to Selene, and the woman stood tall, her chin high like no one was a threat to her. Which to be fair, was true. โYou told me she wasnโt here.โ He growled, stalking closer to her. โYou swore that you had you had no idea where she was. You lied to me!โ โOh simmer down.โ She hissed, rolling her eyes. โYouโre getting pressed over a woman you claim to have no hold on.โ โThat is not the point.โ He glowered, โLook at her! How am I supposed to take her back to the camp in a cast and crutches? What am I going to tell Matthias?โ โWhat makes you think Killian will let you take her out of here behind his back?โ Ronan growled, his wolf coming to the surface with the force of his anger. Raine staggered, much weaker now in the face of his wolfโs power without her wolf to tamper it. Selene r

On the tenth day of her imprisonment, Raine smelled Ronanโs scent. The days bled into each other, Raine found herself staring for a long time at the bottle of pills Selene dropped next to her, until her gaze had gone unfocused and she stared unseeingly at the distance. The pill bottle had stayed where it was until Killian returned and met it there. At the sight of the plastic yellow bottle, something had flashed in his eyes, and heโd stood next to the bed with a look she couldnโt read in his eyes, staring at her, his eyes bright in the dark as he stood for so long. After what felt like forever, he pulled open the drawer at the bedside table and tossed the bottle of pills inside, away from where she could see it. He didnโt say a word, hadnโt even asked how she managed to get it, and Raine had said nothing as explanation. That night, he slept in his bed, next to her for the first time since heโd brought her there. Raine shut her eyes and pretended she was back in the packhouse, in M

The handshake went on for much longer than Mathias was comfortable with, and when it ended, a shiver ran down Matthiasโs spine and lingered like static under his skin as Killian dropped his hand last, his touch lingering for much longer than was necessary. The other manโs gaze was unreadable, the corners of his lips twitching like he was holding back a burst of laughter. Maybe it was a sneer, or both for that matter. Matthias didnโt know which unsettled him more. โShall we, alpha?โ the Voss alpha said with a mock bow, rolling his hand in the direction of the dining area. โWould you rather we speak here? Or should we take this discussion elsewhere? Maybe with a bit more privacy?โ โNo.โ Matthias snapped, keeping his growl in check. โWe can have the discussion, right here. This discussion will be brief. Iโd hate to keep you waiting longer than youโd have to.โ Killian tilted his head slightly, staring at Mathias with an expression he couldnโt read. โIโd also hate to hate to keep yo

The days bled into each other until Raine wasnโt sure anymore how long itโd been since she last saw her pack. Killian swore there was no wolfsbane in her system, and so did the doctor, but her bones refused to mend themselves, and her senses were as muted as theyโd been when she was a child. She could not smell or sense anything more than the average human, and her wolf was deadly silent. When she told Killian all these, he would look at her with an expression sheโd come to know as fond pity. Like she was a beloved cat who didnโt know it was dying. Raine didnโt feel like she was dying. She couldnโt feel anything much, but she at least would know if her body was giving up on her. She was in bed most days, in his bed to be precise, but at least he didnโt sleep in it as far as she was concerned, and only female helps came to assist her in dressing and cleaning up. Raine had no qualms about being nude in front of strangers, but she was relived beyond doubt that Killian would not be th

Itโd been five days since Raine was last seen in the pack. It was a constant gnawing at Matthiasโs mind, but he hadnโt even been given enough peace of mind to properly torture himself over the matter. Tensions in the pack were worse than over, with several of his solders refusing to follow orders and organizing some kind of strike against his leadership. The unrest in the pack had escalated to full blown protests, with wolves turning violent towards themselves and members of Matthiasโs house. Lyra had to move into the pack house for the main time because many wolves kept targeting her medic building and threatening her if she didnโt misalign herself from Matthias, Silas had once been attacked while on his way to the wards, and has since stopped leaving the house without extra backing, and to make matters worse, the pack house was no longer a hundred percent foolproof. Just the day before, a handful of wolves managed to get past the guards posted around the houseโs compound, and f

Her head was pounding, and everything felt so groggy. She wasnโt sure what was going on, or if the images in her head were dreams or not. Once she thought she woke and found a strange man next to her, his face blurred as he stroked over her hair and face, but then a pain so sharp had cut through her entire being that sheโd passed out from the intensity. The next and only thing she remembered was a vague dreamlike memory of her wolf nipping at her ear, trying to pull her out a fog of swamp like water, trying to answer the call of another wolf in the distance, but by the time sheโd stumbled out of the swamp, she realized she couldnโt walk, and kept stumbling, falling to knees and forced to watch her wolf grow fainter with each panicked yip it made, until eventually it was gone, and Raine was left alone with nothing but a low throb in her leg. She woke with a gasp, much like that night at the pack after that nightmare, expect this time things were so much worse. Still panting, Rai
