Earth and rusted metal

Goddess, my face hurts.

The air is thick with the smell of earth and rusted metal.

I turn my head, trying to adjust my position, but regret it almost immediately.

Pain shoots through my skull. Heavy. Unforgiving.

My head throbs, each pulse sharp enough to blur the edges of my vision. The world tilts—not enough to knock me down, just enough to make everything feel slightly off, like I’m walking inside someone else’s body.

I have no idea how long I’ve been here. I woke to a searing pain in my sku

  • Fated to my Alpha nemesis    Tainted bloodline

    AVELINE'S POV Tiny and I left the pack house the following night. I had wasted no time. It seemed the Moon was also on our side because I hadn't expected escaping the pack house with the Alpha's child to be as reasonably easy as it turned out to be. But then again, considering the way Sirus had been behaving for the last two months, and with the conversation between Sirus and Mortius still fresh in my mind, perhaps it shouldn't have been so surprising that the security of the Alpha's newborn wasn't exactly a top priority. Sirus didn't suspect anything. Neither did any of the pack house staff. After leaving the study the night before, I had spent a great deal of time awake, unable to sleep as I plotted and replotted my plans to get Tiny out of the pack house as soon as possible without drawing suspicion to myself. Just thinking about the events that had led me to such a panicked sprint to get Tiny out of there, just thinking about how the conversation between Mortius and Sirus h

  • Fated to my Alpha nemesis    Behind closed doors

    AVELINE'S POV I overheard the conversation that changed the course of both I and Tiny’s lives two month after her birth.Her wolf still hadn't emerged and I could tell it bothered Sirus more than he liked to show. He'd invited multiple skilled healers and scholars to check her out although he tried not to make it public.In fact, he tried not to make anything public. I didn't understand it at first. I'd been going on with the idea that he was just keeping his personal matters discreet and free from the pack’s ears because he would like to grieve in privacy. But after a while I realized it went beyond that.He didn't make Jenna's burial public. This I was glad of. I didn't want a crowd of people who did not know her showing up to the ceremony like the final farewell to my sister was an obligation they did not really care about.However, it struck me as odd that he never made any announcements about the matter. And after a conversation I had with Serene, it seemed a vast majority of th

  • Fated to my Alpha nemesis    Dormant

    AVELINE'S POV "I suppose we'll figure it out." The words had barely left my mouth when the baby stirred again. Her tiny fingers loosened around mine. I watched them for a moment before slowly withdrawing my hand. I should have left. I had Damon waiting for me. Serene was probably wondering when I would return, and I had already stayed away longer than I'd intended. But I couldn't make myself move. Not yet. I looked down at the little girl again. Tiny. The word came to me without much thought. She was so small. So impossibly small that I could have held her against one arm and forgotten there was a whole world beyond the room. "Tiny," I whispered. Her nose wrinkled slightly in her sleep. I smiled despite myself. "Tiny." The name felt strange. Too casual for everything that had happened. But perhaps that was exactly why I liked it. She didn't need another solemn name whispered over her because her mother was dead. She didn't need to become a symbol of tragedy befo

  • Fated to my Alpha nemesis    I suppose we'll Figure it out

    AVELINE'S POV For several minutes, I couldn't understand what had happened. The room was still moving around me, but none of it seemed real. The healers were speaking. Someone was crying. Sirus was saying Jenna's name over and over again, as though repeating it enough times might somehow bring her back. But I couldn't make sense of any of it. Jenna had been here. She had been holding her daughter. She had been smiling. She had been talking to me. And now she was gone. I stood frozen near the foot of the bed, the baby still cradled against my chest. She was warm. So impossibly warm. Her tiny body shifted against me, making a small sound before settling again. I looked down at her. For a moment, I couldn't understand how something so small could still be here when everything else had changed. She had lost her mother before she'd even had the chance to know what a mother was. My throat tightened. "Jenna..." The name escaped me without thought. T

  • Fated to my Alpha nemesis    Quaking walls

    AVELINE'S POV Sirus stood at the doorway breathing heavily. He looked as though he'd run the entire way. His clothes were dishevelled, his chest rose and fell with every breath, and there was still dirt clinging to his boots. His eyes immediately found Jenna. Then the baby. Then the healers surrounding the bed. “What happened?” No one answered. His face changed. “What's wrong with my mate?” I stepped aside. “Sirus…” Jenna began, her voice almost a whisper. He crossed the room in seconds. “Jenna.” Her eyes found him and immediately relief flooded her expression. “Sirus,” she said again, this time her voice was more audible. “What is wrong?" he asked, brushing away the strands of sweat drenched hair that were matted against her forehead. I took a few subtle steps back to give them some space. The healers seemed to do the same as Jenna seemed to have stabilized at the sight of Sirus. Jenna smiled faintly. “Our daughter.” His gaze moved to the tiny bundle in her arm

  • Fated to my Alpha nemesis    What does that mean?

    AVELINE'S POV For a while, everything went exactly as it was supposed to. Jenna laboured. The healers encouraged her. I held her hand and tried to offer whatever comfort I could, even though there was very little anyone could say that would make what she was going through easier. She screamed. She cursed. She cried. At one point, she even threatened to bite the healer nearest to her. That earned a weak laugh from me. “Don't laugh at me,” she gasped. “I wasn't.” “You were.” “I swear I wasn't.” “You're a terrible liar, Ave.” I smiled despite myself. “Maybe.” Another contraction came before she could say anything else, and the smile disappeared from my face as her fingers crushed mine again. “You're doing well,” the healer told her. “Just a little longer.” Jenna nodded, tears slipping down her temples and disappearing into her damp hair. I brushed them away. “You're almost there.” Her eyes opened. They found mine. For a second, beneath all the pain and exhaustion,

  • Fated to my Alpha nemesis    A Spectacle of My Own Making

    The first time I saw the Tule Dance, I was seven. I fell in love with the performance immediately and wanted to participate the very next year. Mum said I was too young and not yet developed enough, so I waited. When I turned twelve, I asked again. After a lot of begging and convincing, I was al

  • Fated to my Alpha nemesis    Something about a dead rat

    Scanning my wardrobe for a few seconds, I choose a crimson-colored tube top and a short pleated skirt. I smile at my reflection in the mirror after putting it on. I apply mascara, eyeliner, pink gloss, then pull my hair up into a messy bun. Sitting on my bed, I slip on my favorite pair of black s

  • Fated to my Alpha nemesis    The little devil

    I open the window, sliding one foot over, then another. My feet land lightly on the carpet, and I smile at the sheer perfection of the action. The lights flick on. I gulp. Talia stands by the switch, arms crossed, her face set in that “I caught you and you’re in trouble” look. Despite the
