The silence of the cabin was no longer a sanctuary; it was a cage. I stood by the reinforced glass, my breath fogging the pane as I watched the treeline where Zayden had vanished. My body felt like a live wire, humming with a frequency I couldn’t tune out. It wasn't just adrenaline. It was something deeper, a magnetic pull that made my very marrow ache.

I turned back to the cedar table, my eyes locking onto that dark, dried word: SOON.

Panic flared, sharp and cold, but it was quickly swallowed

  • I swear he is a Werewolf    Chapter 12: The Truth

    The silence that followed Ronan’s death was more violent than the fight itself. The air in the chamber was thick, ionized by the surge of Alpha energy and the metallic tang of fresh blood. Zayden knelt before me, his hands trembling as they hovered over my wrists, where the silver shackles had once bit into my skin.He looked up at me, and for the first time, I didn't see the untamable beast or the arrogant heir. I saw a man standing on the edge of a precipice, terrified that his next breath would shatter the only thing he loved."The bond is fully awake," he whispered, his voice a ghost of itself. "I can feel your thoughts, Kaelira. I can feel the way your heart stutters when I touch you. It’s like a thousand wires connecting every nerve in my body to yours.""I feel it too," I said, my voice steadier than I felt. I reached out, cupping his face. His skin was fever-hot, his pulse racing under my palms. "It's not just a feeling, Zayden. It’s... It’s a pull. Like gravity."Zayden close

    The stone chamber didn't just vibrate; it groaned.High above, the Blood Moon had shed its violet shroud, spilling a thick, visceral crimson through the ceiling’s aperture. The light hit the silver of my shackles, and for a moment, I thought I would go blind from the searing heat. But the pain wasn't an ending. It was a catalyst.Through the thin, psychic tether connecting me to Zayden, I felt a sudden, violent surge of adrenaline. It wasn't mine. It was his. It was the frantic, bone-deep desperation of a predator who had finally scented the kill."He's here," I whispered, the growl still vibrating in my throat.Ronan stood in the center of the crimson beam, his human skin rippling like water. His eyes were no longer just red; they were bleeding light. "Let him come. He’s a dead man walking into a god’s throne room."Then, the world exploded.The massive iron-reinforced doors of the chamber didn't just open—they were liquidated. A shockwave of pure Alpha kinetic force blew them inward

    Consciousness didn’t return to me; it crashed over me like a frigid wave.My head throbbed with a rhythmic, dull ache that timed itself to the heavy thumping of my heart. I wasn't on the cedar floor of Zayden’s cabin. I was lying on cold, damp stone that smelled of salt, iron, and ancient dust. I tried to move my hands, but the sharp bite of cold metal stopped me.Silver.Even without Zayden’s explanations, I knew it instinctively. The handcuffs weren't just restraints; they felt like they were leaching the very warmth from my marrow. A low, pathetic moan escaped my throat."Awake at last," a voice purred. "I was beginning to think I’d been too heavy-handed. It would be a shame to waste such a rare vintage before the moon reaches its peak."I forced my eyes open. I was in a circular stone chamber, lit only by high, narrow slits that allowed shafts of sickly grey light to cut through the gloom. Ronan sat on a raised stone dais across from me, his legs crossed, watching me with a look o

I walked to the table, my fingers trembling as I reached out to touch the blood. The moment my skin made contact, a jolt of electricity snapped through me.Images flashed behind my eyes—not my own memories, but his. I saw the forest through a lens of gold; I felt the crushing weight of a crown I never asked for; I felt a loneliness so vast it could swallow the moon. And then, I felt her. I felt the moment Zayden had seen me on the road, th

  • I swear he is a Werewolf    Chapter 8: The Claim

    The drive back from the Manor was a suffocating vacuum of silence. Zayden’s knuckles were white against the steering wheel of his black SUV, his jaw so tight I feared the bone might snap. The forest flew by in a blur of skeletal branches, but for once, the shadows didn't scare me. It was the man beside me—the man who was supposed to be my protector, yet looked like he was mourning my funeral.When we reached his private cabin, a secluded structure of glass and dark cedar perched on the edge of a cliff, he didn't move. He sat staring into the dark."Zayden," I said, my voice echoing in the small space. "Talk to me.""I should have run further," he whispered, his voice a jagged shard of glass. "The moment I saw you on that road, I should have vanished. I should have let you believe I was just a trick of the light.""But you didn't." I reached out, my fingers hovering over his arm. "Because you couldn't."He turned to me then, and the raw, unfiltered hunger in his golden eyes made my bre

  • I swear he is a Werewolf    The Pack Council

    The transition from the wild, pheromone-soaked air of the forest to the cold, oppressive stone of the Blackmoor Manor was enough to give Kaelira whiplash. The manor was a sprawling, gothic fortress hidden deep within the mountain's shadow, shielded by more than just ivy and iron—it was shielded by a silence that felt heavy with centuries of secrets.Zayden walked beside her, his jaw set so tightly it looked like marble. He had donned a clean black shirt, but the raw, predatory energy he’d displayed in the forest still hummed beneath his skin."Don't speak unless I tell you," he whispered, his hand momentarily brushing against her lower back. The heat of his palm through her denim jacket was a tether to reality. "The Council doesn't see humans as people. They see them as variables. Risks. And right now, Kaelira, you are the biggest risk this pack has faced in generations.""I thought you were the Alpha," Kaelira whispered back, her heels clicking nervously on the flagstone floor. "Don'
