Woods were buzzing—like, really alive. That weird hush after the rain, when every leaf and critter decides to make noise just to mess with your nerves. Drew slipped around, shadows clinging to him, and honestly? He looked like someone who’d lost a fight with his own nightmares.

Ever since that Blackfang ceremony blew up in his face, the dude was wrecked. Couldn’t get his head on straight, feelings ricocheting all over. But deep down, something old—something stubborn as hell—kept poking him. Like a splinter you can’t dig out.

The dreams kicked off three nights ago. First, just flickers—silver flashes, a voice sharp enough to leave a bruise, laughter that made his spine twitch. Was it good? Bad? Hell if he knew. Last night, though? Oh, it got real. That dream felt like someone else’s heartbeat was thumping right inside his chest. Creepy, but also kinda awesome.

He’d jerk awake, gasping like he’d been drowning. No point denying it anymore: he had a mate.

Not some random, either. Of cours

  • Fractured Mate   Chapter 35: The Enemy Inside

    RedHowl Territory – Northern WatchtowerAriella, man, she was born with the cheat codes for getting her way. Little tilt of the chin. Hold a gaze just a beat longer than polite. Sigh like her heart’s made of glass. She’d figured out the game before she could even shift—knew most wolves needed to feel important, not just wild.Difference was, she never needed anyone. Not really.And yet—look at her now. Northern edge of RedHowl’s watchtower, freezing her ass off, waiting on a guy who didn’t give her the usual hungry stare. Drew. Too damn noble for his own good. That face—jaw like he could bite through steel, eyes that made you want to confess your sins, and a heart so soft it should be illegal.Guy was basically a walking contradiction: perfect mark, perfect threat.She yanked her gloves tighter. There he was, coming up the path, patrol gear fitting him like armor, hair a wild mess. Moody as hell. Didn’t so much as twitch a smile when he saw her. Typical.“Ariella.” He kept it moving,

  • Fractured Mate   Chapter 34: The Ambush

    Eastern Ridge, RedHowl BorderlandKieran hunkered down behind a busted birch, nose full of blood and smoke. The supply cart was still burning, just over there—close enough to feel the heat if he wanted. MoonClaw symbols, all jagged and freshly scrawled, glared at him from a tree. Real subtle, huh? Taunt written in sap.Somewhere behind him, Bran wheezed like a dying bellows, hand jammed into his side. Guy was ghost-pale, sweat pooling at his hairline. Honestly, he looked about two minutes from checking out.Recon, they’d said. Just a little peek at a MoonClaw trail. No heroics, no drama. Guess someone forgot to tell MoonClaw.“Three dead,” Tova whispered, crouched up close. She tried to sound tough, but her voice had that wobble—like she might throw up. “Two taken.”Kieran clenched his jaw so hard his teeth hurt. This was all wrong. They’d moved at dusk, thinking they were the shadows. He’d seen the broken branches, the tracks—hell, he’d followed them. Should’ve known. Should’ve felt

  • Fractured Mate   Chapter 33: Bargains and Bloodlines

    Location: Hollowmere Glade – Verdant Circle Territory (Witch Clan)Man, the fog in Hollowmere didn’t play around—it wrapped around RedHowl’s crew like some overenthusiastic ghost dog. Evangeline yanked her cloak tighter, nerves prickling. This forest? Yeah, it had a vibe. Old, hush-hush, like it was hiding every nasty secret from a hundred blood rituals no one wanted to talk about.Hann, never the subtle type, muttered, “Magic stinks in this place.” His hand hovered near his sword, just in case the trees got any ideas.Silas shut him down real quick. “Show some respect. We’re guests here. We need them, not the other way round.”Hann just grunted—classic.So, six of them—Silas in front, Evangeline right behind, Hann, Selina, Nox the scout, and Drew (still limping from the last scrap with rogues, but Silas insisted he come anyway). Ariella? Nowhere in sight. Evangeline figured that was about power, not absence.In the center of the glade, they hit a circle of mossy old stones, all gathe

  • Fractured Mate   Chapter 32: Before the Bond

    RedHowl Territory, Midnight ClearingDamn, the moon was on some main character energy tonight—full-on spotlight mode, dumping silver all over the clearing and turning every blade of grass into magic carpet territory. Even the trees looked freaky, all stretched out and twitchy. Crickets kept up their weird static soundtrack, but honestly? The whole forest had that vibe like it was waiting for the next disaster, all tight and wired.Evangeline hugged herself, practically glued to that busted stone well like it might keep her from flying apart. Her wolf was right there under the surface, restless as hell, itching to claw its way out and raise some chaos. Don’t even get her started on the mate bond. That thing was frying her nerves—like sticking your finger in a socket, all jittery and raw, making her want to crawl out of her own skin.She felt Silas coming before she saw him—classic. Guy always acted like she was made of glass. Drove her up the wall. A tiny part of her almost wanted him

  • Fractured Mate   Chapter 31: Shadows Between Us

    The moon was out, bold as hell—couldn’t mind its business if it tried. Everything below looked sharp and jagged, like the world just got outlined in cold neon. Trees doing their best haunted house impression, all clawed branches and drama, eavesdropping on her bad mood. Wind kept poking at her, too, like it had nothing better to do, making the leaves gossip and hiss. Evangeline stomped along the edge, boots crunching dead leaves and, honestly, probably some unidentifiable grossness. Wolf senses buzzing, skin prickly, but she played it cool. Or tried to.Truth? She just needed out. Head was a blender, thoughts all chopped up. Maybe she’d scream at the sky, maybe not. Maybe just stand there and let the dark chew on her for a while. Anything but self-destructing under all that thinking.Back there? No thanks. That place was a pressure cooker—war drums in the background, people scheming, everyone whispering about “fate” like it’s this contagious rash. Eyes on her, waiting for some miracle

  • Fractured Mate   Chapter 30: Blood Moon Dreams

    Jeez, that moon was furious.All swollen and sickly red, hanging so low it felt like it might plop right onto your head if you stared at it wrong. The woods? Silent. Not even a cricket. Like everything had just... stopped.Evangeline stood dead center in the clearing, toes numb, breath fogging in the chill. The trees crowded in around her—gnarled and hunched like they wanted to pick a fight.She knew it had to be a dream. Her brain whispered it, all logical and calm.But her body? Her body knew.Every nerve screamed. Her heart was trying to punch its way out of her chest. Not quite fear—more that electric buzz right before everything breaks.Then—wham.It appeared.The biggest damn wolf she’d ever seen—and she’d seen enough to know this one wasn’t normal. Eyes burning like someone lit a lantern behind them. Shadowy, massive, fur bristling like it couldn’t decide whether to devour her or bolt. It opened its mouth.No sound.Just wind, curling through the trees, hissing like it knew sec
