The pendant — yeah, that stupid obsidian crescent — felt like an actual rock in Evangeline’s hand. Not magic. Not humming. Just... heavy. And not because of its weight, really, but because of his. Her dad’s. Some legacy she never signed up for.

She sat alone, perched on a cold slab at the edge of the training clearing, the dawn making weird patterns on that black stone. All those fairy tales made relics sound so dramatic — glowing, singing, secret voices.

Honestly, the last few days had been hell. Kieran shutting her out, her body turning inside out with her first shift, that second mate bond (seriously, what the hell?), her mom’s secrets, and now the whole Moonborn mess. Red wolf? Sure. Why not throw that in the blender too.

She felt like a cracked egg — empty and overflowing at the same time.

“Hey, you alive?”

She jumped a little. Hann, with his perpetual resting grump face, ambled over and flopped down next to her like he owned the place. He dropped a bundle wrapped in cloth on the

  • Fractured Mate   Chapter 11: The Name That Terrifies Me

    Kieran’s POVYeah, her voice just playing in his head. Wouldn’t shut up, honestly.Not in the way memories echo. It was sharper. Present. Like a hook caught beneath his skin.Kieran, please...The plea had haunted him since the moment she fled the celebration — the moment he’d spoken the words that broke them both."I reject you, Evangeline Blackwood."He'd felt it. The severing of the mate bond. Like tearing his own soul in half. But it had to be done. His father — the Alpha — had made it clear. Evangeline wasn’t Luna material. Too soft. Too unknown. Her dormant wolf a liability.And then the rumors started.Whispers of a red wolf spotted deep in the northern woods. A rogue encampment. A girl with silver eyes and hair like wildfire.His mate.Or what used to be.He gripped the edge of the war table so hard.“She’s alive,” his Beta said quietly.“And running with rogues,” Kieran snapped. “That’s not alive. That’s betrayal.”“She was rejected.”The reminder stung. He turned sharply. “S

  • Fractured Mate   Chapter 9: The Lie I Loved

    Selina’s out there, balanced right on the edge of this ancient stone ridge — wind blowing her coat around, hair dangling in her face. Down below, that river slices through the trees, all silver and mean, looking exactly the same as it did twenty years back. Nothing changes. Except her. Except everything.That day — the one she can’t forget, no matter how many bottles of cheap Merlot she downs — it was the day she made the call that wrecked her, but also saved her, maybe. Necessary evil, that’s what people say. She’s not sure she buys it.Her heart’s in her throat. Her kid’s out there somewhere. Alone. Different. Hunted.“Please,” she whispers. “Let her be safe.” But the universe has never answered her, not once. The Moon Goddess? Might as well pray to a brick wall. If she ever listened, she’s gone silent now.Memory hits hard. Flashback to the red wolf — oh, she remembers. Him in that clearing, all muscle and moonlight, eyes burning like gasoline on a campfire. Not exactly a talker. D

  • Fractured Mate   Chapter 8: Blood Never Lies

    Silas looked like a coiled spring, ready to launch or explode — honestly, hard to tell which. Evangeline? You could see she was rattled — yeah, totally freaked — but hell if she was backing down. Legs shaky as a newborn deer, she pulled herself together and glared right at the woman (Talia), eyes wide.“Go on, say that one more time,” Evangeline said, voice cracking, barely holding it together. “What do you mean, my mother made a choice?”Talia didn’t even blink. “Selina Blackwood never told you the truth about your father, did she?”The air got thick. Like, you could almost taste the tension. Rogues shuffled around, hands still half-gripping their weapons, but nobody piped up. Not with every word buzzing like it might explode.“I don’t know anything about my father,” Evangeline said, all honesty, all ache. “Just that he died before I was born. That’s all she ever told me.”“She lied.”Silas dropped his hand on her shoulder, and honestly, Evangeline clung to that tiny touch like her l

  • Fractured Mate   Chapter Seven: Tethered by Shadows

    Evangeline woke up way too early. The sky wasn’t blue yet, and her room was so cold. She just lay there, all dizzy, brain doing that half-dream shuffle. All these flashes—something red, those creepy silver eyes, somebody shouting her name. The voice? Weird mix of familiar and totally not. Maybe her brain was just glitching. Or maybe—hell, maybe it mattered. No way to know.The bed squeaked under her like it had beef. She grabbed the clothes Hann handed off yesterday—shirt, leggings, both worn so thin you could probably read through ’em, but hey, at least they didn’t pinch. Every muscle screamed “nope” as she moved. Thing was? She almost liked it. Pain, at least, was honest. Pain couldn’t BS you.Outside, the camp was shaking itself awake, sort of. Fires popping, shifters stumbling around half-dazed, a couple tents looking like a stiff wind could finish the job. Not even close to the pack she’d grown up with. No patrols, no bossy alphas yelling orders, no one pretending things were all

  • Fractured Mate   Chapter Six: The Goddess Has Forsaken Me

    God, that wind. Man, this cold wasn’t just your run-of-the-mill chill—it straight-up hated her. Like, personal vendetta kind of cold, stabbing right through her jacket and gnawing at her bones. Evangeline hung around at the edge of camp, burying her toes in the dirt, throwing daggers at the woods with her stare like she was gonna win some kind of staring contest against a bunch of trees. Spoiler: the forest just stared right back, all dark and fanged, not giving a damn. How long had she been out here anyway? Could’ve been an hour, could’ve been her whole damn life. Time didn’t mean anything when your chest felt like someone scooped it hollow and forgot to fill it back up.And of course, Kieran’s voice wouldn’t die. Just looping in her skull, all sharp edges and poison:“I reject you, Evangeline Blackwood.”God, she could punch something. Or him. Or herself, honestly. He didn’t just dump her—he detonated her whole world. No mate, no Luna, no fairytale. Just her and a bunch of rejects i
