*Aria*

Silence pressed against my ears after she said it.

*One life. Freely given.*

Mine.

Lucian’s.

Kade’s.

Or a “matched set,” as if we were rare coins, she could stack on her altar.

I couldn’t breathe for a second.

Couldn’t think.

Somewhere behind me, Rhea cursed softly.

Fen’s hand creaked on her spear shaft.

Lucian’s chest rose and fell too fast, the mark still faintly glowing through the charred tear in his shirt.

Kade’s face was carved stone.

Elyra watched my shock like it was a show

  • Killed and Reborn: My Alpha’s Obsession    Chapter HUNDRED AND SIX –The Training Field: Tension Builds

    By late afternoon, the training field looked like someone had kicked a hornet’s nest made of leather and ego.Blackmoon and Nightfang warriors stood in loose lines facing each other, weapons in hand, the air thick with the scents of sweat, dust, and wary curiosity. The earlier formality of the hall had burned off; here, under open sky and on packed dirt, wolves stopped pretending they were anything else.Rin stood near the center with Rhea and Rowan, feeling a dozen gaze skitter over her like thrown stones. Some slid away fast, and others lingered a beat too long on her scar or her stance, like they were trying to decide which story she fit.“Pairs,” Rhea called, voice cracking across the field. “One Blackmoon, one Nightfang. We’re not sorting you by height or prettiness, just by whether you look like you’ll kill each other in the first five minutes. Move.”There was a ripple of movement as wolves stepped forward, matched by Rhea’s practiced eye and the occasional shove. Metal clinked

  • Killed and Reborn: My Alpha’s Obsession    Chapter HUNDRED AND FIVE – Joint Training and Other Bad Ideas

    The formal greetings dissolved into the quieter chaos of hosting.Servants slid between wolves with platters of bread and meat; wine and water were poured with equal care. Aria and Voran peeled off toward a cluster of elders near the hearth, already bent over a map that had been dragged back onto the long table. Lucian lingered at the edge of that knot—far enough to watch, close enough to step in if tempers sharpened.Rin stood where she’d been left, a glass of water sweating in her hand, watching Nightfang and Blackmoon circle each other in small, cautious conversations. The hall felt like a den full of wolves trying very hard to pretend they were all just sheep.She could feel Kael somewhere to her left without looking—like a change in air pressure.“Stop brooding and start moving,” Rhea murmured at her elbow. Rin hadn’t even heard her approach. “You’re making the elders nervous. More nervous.”“I thought that was my job,” Rin said. “Living embodiment of everything they don’t unders

  • Killed and Reborn: My Alpha’s Obsession    Chapter HUNDRED AND FOUR – Formal Greeting, Subtle Barbs

    The main hall had shed its morning clutter and pulled on its ceremonial face.The long table was cleared of maps and crumbs, replaced with a runner of dark cloth and polished wooden bowls filled with simple greenery. Torches burned steadier and brighter; someone had even taken the time to straighten the crooked tapestry by the far wall. Wolves lined the sides of the room in loose, watchful ranks—Blackmoon to the left, Nightfang to the right, leaving a clear path down the center like a scar.Rin stood just behind and to the right of Aria and Lucian, heir’s place. Not quite at their shoulders, not quite in their shadow.Her skin itched with the weight of every stare.The big doors at the far end of the hall stood open. Hoofbeats had faded into the distance; now it was the tread of boots that echoed up the stone, measured and perfectly in step.Nightfang entered.Voran led: a broad, weathered man with hair gone iron‑grey at the temples and a nose that had clearly been broken more than on

  • Killed and Reborn: My Alpha’s Obsession    Chapter HUNDRED AND THREE– Balcony Watch

    Rhea found her before Rin realized she'd been standing there too long."Still breathing?" Rhea asked, stepping up to the balcony rail beside her. Her voice was dry, but her eyes flicked down to the courtyard, then out toward the approaching column, cataloging threat lines the way she always did."Debatable," Rin said. "Ask me again after the speeches."Rhea snorted softly. "That bad already?""I've been compared to a miracle, a bedtime story, and a decorative altar piece in the last two hours," Rin said. "So yes. That bad."Rhea leaned her forearms on the stone, mirroring Rin's posture. Below, the courtyard had gone quiet, wolves drifting into loose formation near the main steps. Aria and Lucian would be down there soon, taking their places like pieces on a board."You know what I'm going to say," Rhea said."That I need to stand up straight and smile politely while Nightfang sniffs around our territory looking for weakness?""No." Rhea’s mouth quirked. "That you're not an altar. You'

  • Killed and Reborn: My Alpha’s Obsession    CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWO_ Rumors of a Visit

    The council hallway always felt longer when Rin was trying not to be seen in it.Officially, she’d been dismissed from breakfast to “wash up and present herself like someone who hadn’t rolled out of bed and straight into Rhea’s fists.” Unofficially, Aria and Lucian had wanted a few minutes to rearrange their faces before dealing with a delegation from a pack that still tasted like old war in half the elders’ mouths.Rin had every intention of obeying. Eventually.She padded along the stone corridor away from the main hall, boots whispering over runners worn thin by generations of feet. The air here was cooler, flavored with ink and beeswax and the faint metallic tang of weapon oil from the armory beyond. Light slanted in through high, narrow windows, painting pale rectangles on the floor.She had just reached the turn that would take her up toward her room when voices drifted from the side corridor that led to the council chamber.Rin slowed. The formal doors were half‑closed, not ful

  • Killed and Reborn: My Alpha’s Obsession    CHAPTER HUNDRED AND ONE_Family Breakfast & Legacy

    The main hall smelled like coffee, ink, and too many responsibilities.Rin paused in the doorway a second, hand on the carved frame, and took in the scene.The long table was already half‑occupied. Maps and scrolls sprawled across the scarred wood, pinned in place by mugs and knives. Sunlight pushed in through the tall windows in pale gold bars, catching dust motes and the smooth shine of worn chair backs.Aria stood by the window, a sheet of parchment in one hand, brow furrowed in thought. Lucian sat beside her empty chair, one arm draped along the back of it, the other wrapped around a mug. He leaned forward and, as casually as breathing, pressed his mouth to the side of her neck.Rin watched her mother tilt her head into the touch, the faintest smile softening a face that, to most of the world, was all edges and iron.For a moment, it was just them. Alpha and Alpha‑mate, war‑tried, legend‑heavy, privately ridiculous.Something tight and wistful twisted under Rin’s ribs.She rolled
