Chapter 20 Lena

Something wasn’t right with the command trio. Sergeant Lena Vance had been on enough high-risk task force deployments to know when relationships blurred lines. A look too long. A shift in tone. The language of power changing hands without words.

She’d seen it before; mating tension, especially after battle. But this? This was different. This was controlled. Calculated. Whatever it was between Mira, Jace, and Alpha Calder was being intentionally hidden.

She intended to find out more. If there was one thing she was good at, it was finding hidden truths. She could draw them out gently or with the harshest hand. For now, she would move quietly, but if the Council needed it, she wouldn’t hesitate to rip it from them.

Lena crossed the outer training field with a clipboard, eyes skimming the new rotation assignments. The morning air still smelled like scorched earth and blood. The Kalyven attack had left scars on more than the walls—it had shaken morale, and wounded more than bodies.

  • Fated in the Dark    Chapter 30 Rhett

    He couldn't sleep. Not with the Summit still buzzing in his ears. Not since saying the words that changed everything. Jace Rowan is my mate. The room had gone dead silent and still, the bond hadn’t faltered. If anything, it had solidified. Rhett sat in the shadows of his office long after the others had cleared out, elbows on knees, head in his hands. The fire had burned low, casting long, gold-lit fingers across the wall. It wasn’t fear that knotted in his chest. It was uncertainty and under it, the growing pulse of something like need. When he finally stood, his legs felt heavier than they should. Like the truth had altered his gravity. He didn’t go to his room, he went to Jace’s. The hallway was quiet. No guards posted nearby. The house was still. He knocked once, softly. No answer, but when he tried the handle, it opened. Jace sat on the edge of the bed, shirt half-buttoned, hair damp from a recent shower, staring out the window as if he could see into the future through the tr

  • Fated in the Dark    Chapter 26

    They were good. Too good. Lena watched from the shadowed edge of the compound as Alpha Calder extended a hand to the Summit observer like he hadn’t just spent the last week radiating the kind of tension wolves weren’t supposed to survive. The observer, Drayce Malor, was sharp, composed, and utterly unreadable. Dressed in formal Summit attire, with dark eyes behind thin glasses, she was the kind of woman who didn’t waste breath or blink without purpose. Her reputation for dismantling fractured packs with a smile had preceded her, and now she was here, not for war, not for monsters, but for them.Mira stood ten paces behind Rhett, her uniform crisp, expression clipped. No warmth. No wandering glances. Jace Rowan was further still, stationed as if he were just another task force Beta, calm and silent, but Lena felt it. Their energy hummed like a live wire under the surface. Something real. Something forbidden and hidden expertly.Dayce accepted the Alpha’s greeting without flourish, her

  • Fated in the Dark    Chapter 28 Jace

    Jace sat on his bed with his hair still damp and a towel wrapped around his waist. He couldn’t feel his hands, not because they were numb, but because everything else was screaming so loudly inside his head that his body had gone quiet to survive. His mind replayed the moment Rhett had said it out loud, to the Summit, in a room full of pack leaders, envoys, and a woman known for stripping Alphas bare with three questions and a polite smile. He had stood there, without flinching, and claimed Jace. Claimed him as his mate. Jace stood still long after the meeting adjourned, Mira at his side, her shoulders squared in that infuriatingly elegant, lethal way she did when holding the world back with sheer force of will. He envied her composure because inside him, a war was happening. One part of him, the Beta, the soldier, was doing threat assessment, calculating fallout, replaying every word of the Summit exchange, and mapping weaknesses in their defense. But the man? The man was shak

  • Fated in the Dark    Chapter 27 Mira

    Mira had worn armor before. Not the tactical kind, though she had plenty of that, but the emotional kind. The kind that kept people from seeing the wolf beneath the uniform. The kind she’d needed her whole life to survive duty, rejection, war. But this… this was different. This time, she had to armor everything—her instincts, her scent, her bond. Someone was coming who had the authority to rip their lives apart, and if the Council decided she was part of a triad mating, she wouldn’t just be reassigned; she’d be exiled—or worse. She stood at the edge of the training ring, watching pack members spar in the morning haze. The earth smelled like ash and pine. Sweat clung to the air. And beneath it all was the low pulse of adrenaline that never quite left her since the night of the Kalyven attack. Behind her, Rhett was speaking with Kellen. Jace flanked her right side, pretending to observe footwork but glancing at her every other breath. They were close. Too close, and every second fe

  • Fated in the Dark    Chapter 26 Rhett

    The forest was alive with the pounding of paws and breath. Moonlight flickered through the pines as the pack ran in full form—wolves streaking through the trees in a tide of fur and muscle and freedom. For one night, there were no monsters, no politics, no hidden bonds. Just instinct and freedom. Rhett ran at the front, Mira at his flank, Jace trailing just behind. Their bond hummed in the space between them, not touching, not acknowledging, but present. This was how they worked. Wild, wordless, powerful. His wolf thrived on it. Until it was shattered. A hawk’s cry overhead—three sharp bursts. A signal. Urgent. Rhett slowed, then stopped, shifting in a breathless flash of fur to skin as he stepped toward the messenger. Beta Kellen, clothes in hand, stood stiff-backed at the tree line, already halfway dressed. Rhett yanked his pants from the pile where he’d stashed them and gave a growl. “What is it?” Kellen hesitated, then: “A Summit observer’s been dispatched. They’ll arrive w

  • Fated in the Dark    Chapter 25 Rhett

    “Have you found your mate?” The words echoed through the Summit hall like a dropped blade. Rhett didn’t move. Didn’t blink. Didn’t breathe for just a moment. He could feel Mira’s heartbeat across the room, a sharp spike of adrenaline laced with panic. Jace didn’t shift, but Rhett knew him well enough now to feel the sudden tension winding tight in his chest. The smart thing would be to deny or, better yet, deflect, but Rhett had never been a coward, and the moment he opened his mouth, mating instinct spoke before politics could catch up. “Yes.” The room shifted. A quiet intake of breath from someone in the second row. A rustle of papers. Mira’s spine went rigid in his peripheral vision. Thorne’s eyes sharpened. “You’ve accepted a mate bond?” The air stretched thin. Rhett didn’t break her gaze. “I have.” Her head tilted slightly. “And your mate is…?” He let the pause drag just long enough to gather all eyes, then said evenly, “Jace Rowan.” It hit the room like a thunderclap.
