The pain started in my thigh and began to eat its way upward through my bones. The more my heart beat, the more the toxin pushed its way to the center of me.

I laid there on the ground, staring up at the sky, and wondering for a moment if this was how fate was going to play its game in me. But amidst the chaos, her voice was the only thing that kept me conscious.

"Stay with me, Kaelen! Everything is going to be alright!"

Jessica was sobbing. I could feel her hands pressing against my skin. Her

  • Guarding His Forbidden Mate   KAELEN

    As I stood by the door of the small parlour, I couldn't help but wonder… Why had Elara come here?She hadn't changed a bit, looking the same as years ago. My memory flashed back to when we were kids. She had been sixteen then, obsessed with following me to the training grounds, always trying to find a reason to be near me. But even then, I couldn't stand her attitude. She had this irritating, entitled way of moving through the world, as if everyone owed her their time. She was so obsessed with me that she would forget her own chores, her own life, just to stand by my side.I had been blunt with her once. I remember the look on her face when I told her, point-blank, that I didn't like her and never would. It had broken her pride, and we hadn't spoken since the fall of Blackwood. So why now? Why drive all the way from Blackwood just to find me?"Kael?" she said again, her hand resting on my arm.The way she said my name made my skin crawl. I saw Jessica’s eyes—those beautiful, expressiv

    Thankfully, the urgent situation at the gate wasn't an invasion, yet as Julian led the way, my pulse refused to settle. Kaelen followed a few paces behind me, and even though he had acted too difficult a few minutes ago, the memory of his eyes would stop replaying in my mind.When we reached the gate, a small group of guards had surrounded a lone figure. It was a woman. She was wearing a traveling cloak, but it was stained with the dust of the road. And even through the grime, her beauty was undeniable. I stepped forward, staring at those big eyeballs that felt like she could see right through my chest. "I am Princess Jessica. I was told there was a messenger with an urgent seal."But the woman wasn't looking at me. Rather, her gaze was locked on the man standing behind my left shoulder. "Kaelen?" she whispered.I felt Kaelen stiffen, and that stone-faced expression he'd been putting on since morning shattered, turning to a look of shock and surprise."Elara?" He called, shocked.In

    I had woken up so early that morning, so I wouldn't have to miss seeing my parents off. The sun was barely out, and I still don't get why they had to leave this early for an occasion happening tonight.I stood on the front steps, with my arms wrapped around myself as the royal carriage was being loaded. My father looked imposing in his formal traveling cloak, while my mother looked as radiant as ever. "I’m going to miss you both," I said, wearing a small smile. "The palace feels so empty when you’re gone."My mother laughed softly, reaching out to tuck a stray lock of hair behind my ear. "Jessica, darling, it’s only for one night. We will be back by tomorrow morning. You won’t have time to miss us.""I’ll be lonely," I insisted, glancing briefly at the stone-faced man standing ten paces behind me."Lonely?" My mother followed my gaze to Kaelen, a playful, knowing shrug lifting her shoulders. "How can you be lonely when you have Kaelen here to keep you company? He looks like a very sp

    Lena had told me she was exhausted from the shift and the healing, and that she needed to rest for at least five hours. I didn't mind, because I needed the silence. I hadn't moved an inch from where I sat, staring at the almost fading sun, and letting everything Lena had said replay in my mind. 'He loves me. He's just scared.' I wanted to believe her, but the coldness of his words back in the hospital room felt more real than a wolf’s intuition. How long was I supposed to wait? How long do you hold your breath before you realize you’re suffocating? I felt a strange sort of calm wash over me. I lay back on the pillows, thinking about the "someone else" Lena mentioned. Who could desire Kaelen as much as I did? Did he have a secret life before he came to the Silver Moon pack? An ex-lover? A woman from his past who was still hunting for him? He didn't seem like the type to notice anyone, let alone have a string of broken hearts behind him. Maybe Lena was just trying to keep me on my t

    I stormed out of that hospital room so fast I could feel hot tears clouding my eyes. My heart was pounding against my ribs, fueled by a mixture of exhaustion and pure rage."Can he ever just be human?" I whispered fiercely to myself. "After everything. After every single thing."I reached the end of the hallway when the head doctor appeared from around a corner, holding a clipboard. He stopped when he saw me, his eyes widening at the state of me."My Lady? Is everything all right?" he asked, stepping forward with a look of genuine concern. "Is there a complication with Kaelen?"I stopped and took a deep, shuddering breath, trying to force my voice to stay calm even though I felt like I was about to shatter into a million pieces."No," I said almost immediately. "Kaelen is awake. He seems perfectly fine. In fact, he’s so fine that he’s already worried about his schedule." I felt a bitter laugh bubble up in my throat but I choked it back. "He’s better now, so I think it’s time I return

I could feel her hands pressing against my skin. Her voice was like a healing balm, a cool wave that fought back the fire in my veins. If I stayed, it was because she was asking me to.I wanted to reach up. I wanted to wipe the tears from her face and tell her to stop. I wanted to tell her that even if I died, I would never truly leave her. 'I’ll find you,' I promised her in the silence of my own head. 'If this is the end, I promise that in the next life, I will love you without hesitation. I won't care about packs, or what the world says. I’ll
