Rowan pov

By the sixth morning, I was leaning against the bedroom doorframe, watching Romy drag her thumb along the edge of the washstand.

A thin line cut through the dust beneath her touch.

The bruising on her neck had finally started to fade. The deep purple beneath her jaw was turning yellow around the edges, like an old bruise finally giving up the fight.

The marks from my fangs were almost hidden under her hair now.

She thought the bond was nothing more than a desperate measure to keep h

  • Kill Me Alpha, Before I Do (Beast Of Flames Book 1)   Chapter 144

    Rowan povThe cold air on the high cliff pavilion suddenly cracked open. The low, deep voices of our pack elders had barely finished their ancient chanting when the stone ground beneath my leather boots shook hard. A massive, double explosion blew through the valley, making the old stone foundations of Stormveil rattle to their very roots. The blast was so huge that it completely destroyed our main front gates, throwing hot orange fire, bent iron pieces, and sharp rocks hundreds of yards across the flat yard.Through the thick, black smoke rising from the broken gates, the bright headlights of armored trucks cut through the dark. We could hear the loud scraping of metal and the heavy thud of combat boots as the Hunter army charged through the gap.They did not move like a messy pack of wild fighters; they moved with perfect, chilling discipline, spreading out in a wide line to crush our outer guards in one quick, brutal rush. Leading the charge through the falling ash and dust wer

    Romy povThe clouds that had blanketed the Stormveil peaks for three days finally fractured, parting like torn charcoal silk to reveal the absolute, chilling brilliance of the full moon. It hung massive and low over the jagged eastern cliffs, casting a stark, silver sheen across the frost-dusted stone of the ancient altar. The wind off the gorge had grown sharper, carrying the scent of pine smoke from the twin ceremonial fire-pits and the sweet, cloying fragrance of the white jasmine garlands draping the iron boundary posts.Standing in the center of the high pavilion, the cold felt secondary, pushed aside by the thick, static charge of anticipation that hung in the air like a physical weight before a lightning strike.My white ceremonial robes, layered and heavy, billowed softly around my boots with every gust of wind. To any scout watching through thermal scopes from the surrounding pine ridges, I appeared to be a traditional bride, unarmed and draped in fragile silk. But beneath t

    Rowan povThe darkness that settled over the Stormveil cliffs was absolute, heavy, and freezing, broken only by the fierce, orange glow of the twin ceremonial fire-pits roaring on either side of the ancient stone altar.The pine-scented smoke rose in thick, dark columns toward the cloud-choked sky, carrying the sweet, heavy fragrance of the dried white jasmine garlands that draped the iron perimeter posts.Below the cliffs, the estate was entirely silent–a manufactured, deadly quiet designed to make our home look like a sleeping prize. But as my boots crunched softly against the frost-dusted gravel, my eyes tracked the faint, green glowing lines of the tactical headsets worn by the vanguard sentries stationed in the deep shadows of the wall.I walked the length of the northern parapet, the biting mountain wind whipping my heavy leather coat against my thighs as I conducted my final inspection

    Romy povThe wind howling off the Stormveil cliffs tasted of oncoming snow and ozone, whipping the hem of my emerald-green gown against my boots as I stood near the edge of the ancient stone altar. From this height, the entire valley was laid out like a massive, jagged chessboard of gray limestone and dark pine forests, with the winding ribbon of the gully road disappearing into the northern mist. Below us, the estate was a hive of controlled, intense activity; vanguard soldiers were moving crates of ammunition, reinforcing the courtyard walls, and running tactical diagnostics on the perimeter sensors. But on the high cliffside pavilion, a different kind of preparation was underway–one that looked like a celebration, but felt entirely like a trap. "The dress is too light for this weather, Romy," Rowan’s deep voice rumbled behind me, cutting through the rush of the wind as he stepped onto the stone platform, his heavy hand coming down to rest on the small of my back. He had disca

    Rowan's POVThe basement vault doors had barely finished sealing shut when the metal staircase leading down from the main garage level shook beneath the weight of approaching footsteps.I knew who it was before they appeared.The scent of wet mountain air reached me first. Cold rain. Diesel fuel. The sharp trace of iron and oil that clung to the heavy canvas jackets of men who had spent hours outside in the storm.Zaric and Maddox. They came through the doorway moments later, both carrying the exhaustion of the southern ridge on their faces. Their boots left streaks of mud across the concrete floor as they moved toward the iron table where Aaron's ancient Hunter records were still spread open.Zaric did not waste time explaining himself. He dropped a mud-covered satellite terminal beside the old leather cylinders, the impact making the parchment edges shift beneath the sudden weight.“We have a problem.” His voice w

    RomyThe vault had never felt so small.The stone walls that had protected generations of Stormveil leaders now seemed to close around us, trapping the weight of thirteen years of unanswered questions inside the cold air. The smell of old parchment, iron, and the faint copper scent of preserved records filled my lungs as Aaron kept his finger pressed against the ancient Hunter codex.I stared at the pages in front of me.For most of my life, the night my family died existed only as pieces–a flash of orange light through the nursery window, and the sound of wood collapsing somewhere above me, my sister’s hands shaking as she covered my mouth before I could scream.I had spent thirteen years trying to put those pieces together. I had convinced myself that there had been a reason. A war. A territory dispute. A power struggle between families that ended with my family's blood spilled on the ground. But the pages sitting in front of me made everything worse, because there was nothing simp

    Romy, 23. Present Day. “That dress,” Camellia noted, her polished finger pointing directly at my neck as I turned slightly in the full-length mirror. “It doesn't cover the tattoo.” I kept my eyes on the raven tattoo climbing the side of my neck. It was for Alina, the only person who had ever call
