LUCIAN

The room still carried Ronan’s words like smoke I couldn’t get out of my lungs. You’re going to lose her.

And then Marissa had walked in.

Now she was perched on the edge of my desk, silk dress sliding over her thigh like she did it on purpose, her perfume and scent curling in the air. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she tipped her head, studying me.

“Last night,” she said, her tone light but carrying that sharp edge I’d learned to recognize, “I tried mindlinking you. Everyone did. You were blocking me out.”

My throat went dry.

I saw Evie—her flushed skin, the way she trembled under me, the way her lips had parted around my name. The sound she’d made when I nearly gave in and ruined us both.

I forced my face blank, clearing my throat and dragging my gaze back to Marissa. My hands slid over the back of the chair, needing something to hold. “I was attending to something.” My voice came out rougher than I meant, scraped raw.

Her smile was small, not trusting. She moved closer, so clo

  • Feral Claim   Chapter 16

    KAIROIt had been a week since I found her.A week of silence and small steps.Most days, she stayed in her room—curled against the corner of the bed or standing by the window, staring out like she was waiting for something to come drag her back. The first night she’d tried to climb through the window. I’d caught her halfway out, barefoot, stitches taut, eyes hollow with panic. She’d fought until she passed out. Since then, I’d told her a hundred times that she was safe. That I wasn’t him. That I wouldn’t lock her up, cage her, hurt her. But each time, those wide, wary eyes just looked at me like she didn’t believe a single word.I didn’t blame her.Some wounds you couldn’t see.Still, there were changes—small, quiet ones. The way she started leaving her door cracked open at night. The way she’d listen when I spoke, even if she didn’t answer. Once, I caught her sitting on the porch steps with a book from my shelf, sunlight on her hair. I hadn’t realized I’d been smiling until she lo

    E V I EI woke to a ceiling I didn’t know.White. Blurry. The smell of antiseptic burned my nose, but beneath it was something else—smoke, leather, earth. It made my chest tighten.My heart started racing before I even moved.There were voices somewhere outside the door. I tried to sit up but pain shot through my ribs hard that a whimper broke out of me before I could bite it back.Then the door opened and he was there. Broad shouldered filling the frame like a wall I couldn’t get past. His eyes caught mine and held them. Dark. Steady. Like he’d been waiting.I shrank back, pressing into the pillows.“Hey,” he said quietly, stepping closer. His voice was deep, calm and almost gentle. “Don’t move too much. You’re safe.”Safe. My throat closed on the word. I forced my voice out, hoarse. “Where… where am I? Who are you?”He came closer, slow, like he thought I might bolt if he moved too fast. When he reached the side of the bed, he set one big hand carefully on my arm. His thumb brushed

    K A I R OThe river was restless tonight.I should’ve ignored it. My patrol was nearly finished, and the cliffs rarely carried anything but the roar of water and the stench of moss. But my wolf wouldn’t leave it. He prowled inside me, ears pinned, claws dragging against my chest.Go. His voice was sharp. Now.I followed the pull, boots crunching over loose stone until the roar grew louder, spraying mist against my skin. That was when the scent hit me—metallic, thick in the air. Blood.I sighed, jaw tightening.Another damn rogue.My lip curled in disgust as I made my way down the slope. Why did they always crawl onto my borders to die? As if their wasted bodies weren’t enough of a problem when they were alive. Now I’d have to drag another one out, bury it deep before the smell carried.I spotted the body at the water’s edge. It was slumped, half-submerged, limbs twisted unnaturally. Small. Fragile. Useless.“Damn rogues,” I muttered under my breath. “Why can’t they rot somewhere else?

    L U C I A NThe scent hit me before Ronan’s words ever did. My wolf’s hackles rose, teeth scraping my gums, a sound ripping out of me that had nothing human in it.“Lucian—” Ronan burst out of the shadows, face pale, chest heaving like he’d been running for miles. “She’s—she’s gone.”For a heartbeat, the words didn’t land. They couldn’t. My blood slammed in my ears, drowning everything else, until I caught the frantic edge in his scent—panic, guilt, the stench of fear.“What do you mean gone?” My voice was already breaking, more growl than sound.Ronan staggered back half a step, hands up like he expected me to tear into him. “I went to bring her food. She wasn’t there. I—I followed her trail as far as I could, but it…it led toward the pack house.”The pack house.The sound that tore out of me rattled the trees. My wolf surged so close to the surface my bones ached. I shoved past him, fury burning through me, vision tunneling to a single truth—she’d gone where I told her never to go,

    EVIE“Who the hell are you?”The words sliced through me, sharp as claws.I froze, clutching the squirming puppy tighter to my chest, its tiny body trembling against mine. Two women stood a few feet away, blocking the path back to the trees. Both beautiful with long dark hair and eyes that gleamed too brightly in the moonlight. Predators, every inch of them screamed predators.“I—” My throat locked up. I swallowed hard, trying again. “I was just—walking.”One of them laughed, a harsh sound that scraped over my skin. The other’s gaze raked me up and down, lingering on my bare feet, my messy hair, the way I hugged the pup like a shield.“You don’t smell like us,” the first one sneered, stepping closer. “You don’t belong here. You are a rogue.”I frowned at the word.“I’m not—” My voice cracked but I forced it louder. “I’m not a rogue! I know Lucian.”That only made them laugh harder.“Of course you do.” The second woman’s smile was all teeth. She reached out and gripped my arm, nails bi

    EVIEMy fingers clutched the towel tighter against my chest, but it did nothing to shield me from him. From his silence. From the weight of the words he wasn’t saying.“What’s a pack?” My voice cracked, rising like it was scraping out of my throat. “Who was she? Why are you hiding me?”Lucian’s eyes burned, his jaw working like he was chewing on words he refused to let out. He didn’t answer. He didn’t even blink.“Say something!” My voice broke, filled with desperation m. “You told me people want me dead, but you won’t tell me why. You say I’m not nothing, but you treat me like I don’t even deserve the truth.”His chest heaved. He took one step toward me, hands lifting as if he meant to hold me, soothe me — but I flinched back before he could. His hands dropped, curling into fists.The silence between us was unbearable, louder than any scream.“You don’t get it,” he said finally, his voice rough and right.“No,” I spat, my nails digging into the towel until the fabric cut at my palms.
