The days after the mountain blurred into a rhythm of healing and silence.

Lysander woke on the fifth day. His honey eyes opened slowly, unfocused at first, then sharpening as they found my face. He did not speak. He simply looked at me, and I saw that something was missing—the part of him that had always watched, always waited, always held back. It was gone. In its place was something raw, something new. Something that looked like peace after a lifetime of storms.

“You are awake,” I said. My vo

  • Forbidden by the Triplet Alphas   The Hybrid's Strength

    The night before the dark moon, I could not sleep.I stood on the balcony, the Kingslayer in my hand, the bond humming in my chest like a second heartbeat. The moon was a thin crescent, barely visible behind the clouds that drifted across the sky like ghost ships sailing toward an unseen shore. The forest below was dark, the shadows deep and still, but I knew they were not empty. Somewhere out there, beyond the trees, beyond the mountains, beyond the ice that had not melted in centuries, the king was waiting. Sleeping. Dreaming of revenge. Dreaming of my blood.Cassian came up behind me. I heard his footsteps on the stone, felt his warmth before his arms wrapped around my waist. He pressed his chest against my back, his chin resting on my shoulder. His heart beat against my spine, steady and strong."You should rest," he said. His voice was low, soft, meant only for me."I cannot."He pressed his cheek against my hair. His breath was warm on my neck. "You are afraid.""I am always afr

  • Forbidden by the Triplet Alphas   Training Montage

    The morning after the triplets knelt, the work began.Theron was in the training yard before dawn, his claws already extended, his gold eyes blazing in the grey light. The young wolves and freed Lycans gathered around him in a loose circle, their faces pale, their bodies stiff with sleep. Some of them were still wearing the tattered clothes they had worn in the mountains. Others had been given fresh tunics and boots by the pack, but they moved stiffly, unused to such comforts.Theron did not speak. He did not need to. He simply moved, and they followed. His body was a lesson, his movements a language they could understand. A strike here. A block there. A shift of weight, a turn of the hips. The wolves copied him, their blades swinging, their claws extended. The Lycans watched, their red eyes fading to grey as they learned to fight without the shadow's hunger driving them.Cassian stood at the archery range at the edge of the training yard, the first wolf's blade strapped to his back,

  • Forbidden by the Triplet Alphas   The Triplets Kneel

    The words echoed in my mind for days. The king is not dead. He is only sleeping. And he will wake again.I could not eat. I could not sleep. I stood on the balcony at night, watching the forest, waiting for the king to rise from the shadows, waiting for the red eyes to appear between the trees. The moon was full, the stars bright, but the darkness between the branches seemed deeper than before, as if the night itself was holding its breath, waiting for what was to come.Cassian stood with me, silent, his hand on mine. His grey eyes were fixed on the same horizon, and I knew he was watching for the same threat. He had not slept either. He had not eaten. The first wolf's blade was never far from his hand, and his knuckles were white where he gripped the hilt. Dark circles ringed his eyes, and his face was pale, drawn tight with exhaustion and fear.Theron paced the corridors, his claws scraping the stone floor in a rhythm that set my teeth on edge. His throat was healing, but his voice

  • Forbidden by the Triplet Alphas   A Pack in Chaos

    The victory at the mountain pass should have been the end.We had killed the Lycan king. We had freed his army from the shadow. The twisted wolves had scattered into the forest, their red eyes fading, their hunger gone. The war was over. The peace should have begun. But peace, I was learning, was not the absence of war. It was the presence of something harder. Healing. Trust. Forgiveness.The freed Lycans did not know how to be free. They had been shadow for so long that the light burned them. Some curled into themselves, trembling, unable to speak, their eyes staring at nothing. Others lashed out, attacking the wolves who tried to help them, their claws still sharp even if their minds were not. A few simply walked into the forest and did not come back. We found their bodies days later, cold and still, their faces peaceful as if they had finally found rest after centuries of hunger.We brought as many as we could to Blackwood Manor. The pack gave them food, blankets, shelter in the ol

  • Forbidden by the Triplet Alphas   The Lycan King’s March

    The battle at the border lasted three days.Cassian did not sleep. He stood at the front of the line, the first wolf’s blade in his hand, his grey eyes fixed on the horizon. The army of twisted wolves came in waves—red eyes, shadow flesh, hunger without end. Each wave was smaller than the last, but there were always more, pouring out of the forest like a river of darkness.Theron fought beside him, his claws red with black blood, his throat bandaged and bleeding through the white cloth. He did not speak. He did not need to. The bond carried his fury, his devotion, his desperate need to protect. His voice was gone, but his claws were sharp, and that was enough.Lysander stayed close to me, the dark dagger blazing, cutting down any shadow that slipped past our lines. His grey eyes were calm, but I felt the fear beneath—the fear of losing us, of losing this fight, of losing the peace we had fought so hard to earn. He had stopped watching. Now he was fighting. Now he was bleeding.I raise

  • Forbidden by the Triplet Alphas   Declaring War

    The peace lasted three months.Three months of rebuilding, of healing, of learning to live without the shadow. Three months of watching Theron train the young wolves in the yard, his voice a rough whisper but his movements still sharp, still deadly. Three months of listening to Lysander read aloud from the old texts in the library, his grey eyes scanning pages that had once been written in honey gold. Three months of holding Cassian when the nightmares came—nightmares of the fissure, of the watchers, of the moment my heart stopped in the fortress.Three months of pretending that the darkness was gone for good.Then the scouts returned.They came at dusk, their horses lathered in sweat, their faces pale beneath the grey sky. The lead scout—a young wolf named Brenna, barely more than a pup—dismounted before her horse stopped, her boots sliding on the gravel. Her eyes were wide, her hands shaking as she clutched the reins."Luna," she said. "There is something in the north. Something we

  • Forbidden by the Triplet Alphas   I Am Theirs

    The light from the Kingslayer did not fade.It spread through the chamber like water finding its level, washing over the bones, the stone, the shadows that had clung to every corner for centuries. The Luna's form dissolved not into darkness but into something softer—golden light that swirled upward

  • Forbidden by the Triplet Alphas   What I Found

    The cave smelled of earth and old fire.Lysander had led me through the mountains for hours, climbing ridges, crossing streams, moving through darkness so complete I could not see my own hands. He did not speak. He did not need to. The bond pulled me after him like a tide, and I followed because I

  • Forbidden by the Triplet Alphas   Guilt and Hunger

    Dawn came grey and cold, the sun hidden behind clouds that pressed low over the mountain. I woke with Theron's arm still around my waist, his breath warm on my neck, the bond humming soft and steady. For a moment, I let myself pretend. Pretend that we were not camped at the base of a mountain where

  • Forbidden by the Triplet Alphas   Cassian’s Warning

    I woke to the sound of shouting.Lysander was already on his feet, his body blocking mine, his eyes gold. The cave was bright with morning light filtering through the waterfall, and Sera stood at the entrance, her sword drawn, her face hard.Someone is coming, she said. Wolves. Blackwood.My heart
