OLIVIA POV

Sunset came too fast.

The sky bled orange and violet over the treetops, and the air turned sharp with cold and anticipation. I stood at the edge of the forest with the other females—twenty-three of us, maybe twenty-four—all of us barefoot or in thin running shoes, all of us stripped down to the simplest clothes we owned. The cold air sharp in my lungs, every heartbeat a drum in my ears.

The Claiming Run.

The words still felt unreal, like a nightmare I hadn’t woken from.

The horn hadn’t sounded yet, but the clearing was already thick with tension. Dozens of us lined up, some trembling, some grinning like this was the greatest game they’d ever play. A few she-wolves had chosen not to run, standing a safe distance away with their mates or families, watching us the way people watch gladiators enter the arena.

I wore simple black leggings and Killian’s oversized hoodie. The dark grey fabric was soft and impossibly large on me, the sleeves swallowing my hands and hem brushing m

  • His Alpha Brother Is My Bedfellow    No. 71

    OLIVIA I walked out of the pack house with Killian’s arm around my waist, his hand warm and steady on my hip. Every step felt like I was leaving a piece of myself behind—the broken girl who used to live there, who used to think she deserved the pain. The cool night air hit my face and I breathed it in deep, trying to wash away the smell of blood and shame that clung to me.We had just stepped onto the front steps when a voice called my name.“Olivia!”I froze.I froze. That voice. Deep and familiar, but cold.I turned slowly. My father, Beta Edward, stood at the top of the stairs. He looked older than I remembered, with more grey in his hair and lines on his face. He held his walking stick tight, like he needed it to stand straight. His eyes were complicated—part anger, part something I couldn’t read. I couldn’t tell. I didn’t want to tell.He took a step closer, then stopped, as if the space around Killian and me was charged and dangerous. He cleared his throat, his eyes avoiding Ki

    OLIVIAThe hall had gone so quiet I could hear my own blood rushing in my ears.Eric and Killian circled each other like storms about to crash.Eric, wiping blood from his mouth, his eyes glowing that sickly, furious blue. Killian, still as a mountain, his grey eyes tracking Eric’s every twitch with cold precision. Everyone stood in a wide circle, watching, whispering, waiting. The air grew thick, heavy with the scent of aggression and the electricity of shifting power.“He’s going to kill him,” a man near me whispered, his voice a mix of awe and fear.“Serves him right, challenging the King like that,” another muttered.“Look at her, just standing there. This is all her fault,” a Luna’s voice hissed from my left. I didn’t turn my head. I kept my eyes glued to Killian.Then, Eric shifted first.His body cracked and twisted, clothes ripping away as a smaller brown wolf burst out. He was smaller than I remembered—lean, fast, eyes burning with hate. He bared his teeth, saliva dripping f

    OLIVIA My heart, which had been a trapped, frantic bird, suddenly stilled. He began to walk. The crowd parted for him without a word, without a command—just the sheer force of his presence pushing them back like a tide. His boots were quiet on the stone floor, but each step echoed in the silence that had fallen over the room. No one dared speak. No one dared breathe too loud. He walked straight past Brenda, who still had her hand pressed to her reddened cheek, eyes wide with shock. Past Lupiter, who stood frozen, her own cheek marked from my slap, mouth open like she wanted to say something but couldn’t find the words. He didn’t look at them. He didn’t look at anyone. He stopped only when he stood between me and Eric. Right there. A wall of muscle and fury and leather and storm. Killian didn’t speak at first. He just looked at Eric, and the disdain in his eyes was colder than the winter wind. And whatever Eric saw in those stormy eyes made him take one involuntary step

    OLIVIA The next night came too fast. The pack house was alive with music and laughter for the grand banquet. It was supposed to be a celebration before the moon festival, with Alphas and Lunas from nearby packs coming to visit. The air was filled with excitement and anticipation. But for me, it felt like walking into a trap.I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the wall. Madison was pacing in front of me like a caged animal, her elegant gown swishing with each furious turn. Her face twisted with anger. I had recounted my visit to Father’s office—how he wanted me to publicly apologize to Lupiter and Eric at the festival, swear my loyalty, and live as a servant. It was all a deal to make me look bad one last time.“That’s bullshit,” Madison stopped, facing me. Her voice was a low, dangerous snarl. Her eyes, usually warm and bright, were flashing with the fierce gold of her wolf. “Your father is a monster. How can he do that to you? Make you beg in front of everyone? It’s cruel.”

    OLIVIA The walk to my father’s office felt like a chain as we walked down the hallway to Father’s office. Lupiter steps were quick and sure, but mine were slow and shaky. Every time I moved, the blisters on my skin pulled and burned. My legs felt like jelly, and my head was still fuzzy from the fever. The maids followed behind us, whispering like this was some game.We stopped at the big wooden door. Lupiter knocked once, then pushed it open without waiting. She always did that—like she owned everything.Father sat behind his large desk, papers spread out in front of him. The room smelled like old books and cigar smoke, the same as always. He looked up when we came in, his grey eyes cold and hard. He didn’t even glance at my bruises or the way I was limping. He just looked disgusted, like I was dirt on his shoe.“Lupiter,” he said, his voice warming a little. “My girl.”She let go of me and ran to him, hugging him tight. “Father.”He patted her back, smiling. “You look good beautiful

    OLIVIA The next morning, the small room felt almost safe. Madison had stayed with me through the night, dozing in the chair by the bed. She had the pack healer bring ointment for my snake bites and a bitter tea for the fever. The tea helped a little. The fog in my head was fading, but the pain was still a constant, heavy blanket over everything.I was propped up on the pillows, trying to sip more water, when the door to the room flew open without a knock.Lupiter stood in the doorway, a vision of perfect cruetly. She wore a flowing pink dress and her hair was beautifully styled. Behind her trailed three girls—the omega maids, the lowest-ranked members of the pack who did all the worst work. They kept their eyes on the floor, their hands clasped nervously.“Good morning, sister,” Lupiter chirped. “I thought I should come check on you. See how our… guest… is caring for you.” She swept into the room as if she owned it, which in her mind, she did.Madison, who had been reading by the win
