EVIE

I woke to the smell of him.

Lucian.

His scent clung to the sheets, warm and dark, winding through my chest until it hurt to breathe. The pillow beneath my cheek was damp, my skin sticky with sweat, my body heavy and sore in ways I didn’t want to think too much about.

Heat. That’s all I remembered. Heat that had crawled under my skin, stolen the air from my lungs, left me begging and burning and desperate. His hands, his mouth, the sound of my name breaking from his throat like he hated himself for saying it.

And then nothing.

He was gone.

I rolled onto my back, sheets twisting tighter around my legs, and pressed the heel of my palm to my eyes. Relief should have come. It should have been the only thing I felt — relief that he’d stopped, that he hadn’t taken what my body had been begging for.

But it wasn’t.

What burned worse than the ache between my thighs was the empty space beside me.

Had he regretted it? Did I disgust him? Or had I just been a moment of weakness for him — a bod

  • Feral Claim   Chapter 15

    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.

  • Feral Claim   Chapter 10

    LUCIANHer words hit harder than claws to the chest.“I feel suffocated. Can I go outside?”For a heartbeat, I couldn’t breathe. My wolf roared so loud inside me it nearly split me open. No. Mine. Not safe. Never safe.I forced the word out, sharp as a blade. “You can’t do that.”Her brows pinched, and for a second, she looked like I’d slapped her. She let out a shaky bitterlaugh. “You can’t do that? That’s all you ever say. No, you can’t do that. No, you can’t go there. No, you can’t breathe without asking permission first—”“Evie—”“No, don’t.” She threw a hand up, cutting me off. Her damp hair whipped across her cheek as she turned away, pacing in a frantic circle like she couldn’t keep still. Water dripped from the ends, spattering across the wooden floor. “Do you even hear yourself? Do you hear how insane this is? I’m not—I’m not some pet you can keep locked up.”Her towel slipped lower, and she yanked it tighter with an angry tug. Her chest heaved, breaths breaking in little gas
