POV: Narrator

The morning sun barely touched the horizon when Karl made his move. He'd spent the entire night pacing his room, replaying every conversation he'd ever had with Marcus Wells, looking for something, anything – he could use as leverage.

I'm the one who can fix this, he told himself as he approached the compound's main gate. Stephen's too proud, Nathan's too violent, and Elijah doesn't even want her back. But I understand politics. I can make a deal.

The guards at the gate recognized him immediately. Word of his conversations with Marcus had spread through the Northern Pack faster than wildfire.

"I need to speak with Alpha Wells," Karl said, keeping his voice steady despite the silver weapons pointed at his chest. "Tell him Karl Blackwood is here to negotiate."

Twenty minutes later, he was sitting across from Marcus in an office that smelled like leather and old money. Maya's scent lingered in the air, but it was different somehow. Stronger. More dangerous.

  • MATED TO MY BULLIES    Chapter 55: The New Species

    Maya POV They keep me restrained for two days. Strapped to the examination table while my body slowly remembers how to be human. Or wolf. Or whatever I'm supposed to be. Konstantin visits every few hours. Taking samples. Running tests. Asking questions I'm too exhausted to answer. He treats me like a specimen under glass. Something fascinating but not quite alive. On the third day, he finally releases the restraints. "Can you stand?" he asks. I try. My legs shake but hold. Everything hurts. My bones ache like they've been broken and reset. My skin feels too tight, stretched over muscles that don't quite fit right anymore. "Good." He hands me clean clothes. Simple gray pants and shirt. Prison clothes. "Get dressed. I want to show you something." "I don't want to see anything." My voice is hoarse. Raw. "I want my mother. I want to leave." "Your mother is safe. Comfortable. And you're not leaving." He turns his back, giving me privacy to change. "Not until you understand what yo

  • MATED TO MY BULLIES    Chapter 54: The Beast Within

    Narrator POVThe creature that was Maya Rodriguez stood in the center of the arena, barely recognizable as anything remotely human or wolf. Her body had twisted into something between both species, something evolution never intended to create. Patches of fur sprouted irregularly across skin that rippled with exposed muscle. Her spine curved at an impossible angle, vertebrae pressing against flesh that struggled to contain them. Claws, longer and sharper than any wolf's, dripped with Alexei's blood.The crowd pressed backward, panic spreading through the spectators like wildfire. Parents grabbed children. Warriors reached for weapons. This wasn't the Silver Death they'd heard stories about. This was something far worse.Alexei struggled in the creature's grip, his enhanced combat training useless against the raw, chaotic strength pinning him. His arm bent at a sickening angle where Maya's claws had pierced through muscle and scraped bone. Blood pooled on the arena floor beneath them."

  • MATED TO MY BULLIES    Chapter 53: The Heir's Challenge

    Maya POV They wake me before dawn. No warning. No explanation. Just three guards yanking me out of bed and dragging me through the corridors. "What's happening?" I struggle against their grip but the stabilizer hasn't fully restored my strength yet. I'm weak. Vulnerable. "The heir has issued a challenge," one guard says. His face shows no emotion. "Eastern tradition. Before any alliance, combat must prove worth." My stomach drops. "Now? I just got here." "The heir chooses the time. You accepted the bargain. Now you face the consequences." They pull me through the compound. Dawn light filters through the ancient stone archways. Wolves are already gathering. Hundreds of them. Lining a massive circular arena carved into the ground. Stone seats rise in tiers around the fighting pit. This isn't a training exercise. This is a spectacle. Konstantin stands at the arena's edge, arms crossed. He sees me being dragged forward and his expression doesn't change. No surprise. No concern. He

  • MATED TO MY BULLIES    Chapter 52: Into the East

    Maya POV The stabilizer burns going down. Like swallowing liquid fire mixed with broken glass. I collapse against the cave wall, gasping, clawing at my throat as the serum courses through my veins. "Maya!" Elena's hands are on my face, checking my pulse, my eyes. "Breathe. Just breathe." But I can't breathe. The stabilizer is fighting the dying serum in my blood, two wars happening inside me at once. My body convulses. Black blood sprays from my mouth onto the cave floor. Konstantin watches with clinical interest. He doesn't move to help. Just watches. Taking mental notes like I'm a lab rat having a seizure. "Fascinating," he murmurs. "The stabilizer is forcing cellular regeneration at an accelerated rate. Her body is essentially dying and rebuilding simultaneously." "She's in agony!" Elena shouts. "Yes." Konstantin tilts his head. "But she's not dead. That's what matters." The pain peaks. Everything goes white. Then, slowly, it fades. The convulsions stop. My breath

  • MATED TO MY BULLIES    Chapter 51: “The Luna Who Plans the War”

    Seraphina's POV "I'm not sure I.." "I was promised to the Blackwood brothers when I was six years old," I said, my voice hardening. "Six. My entire childhood, my entire adolescence, my entire young adult life was spent preparing to be their Luna. Learning politics, diplomacy, pack management, combat. Everything I did, every choice I made, was in service of that future." I moved to my desk, picking up a photograph of the brothers taken years ago. "And then some nobody, a low-born, damaged, genetically modified freak, gets artificially bonded to them and everything I worked for becomes uncertain. Suddenly I'm competing with a girl who shouldn't even exist. A science experiment that got lucky." "But you won," Marcus pointed out. "You're the Luna now. They chose you." "They chose practicality," I corrected bitterly. "They chose political alliance and pack stability. But don't think I didn't see it in their eyes during the mating ceremony. The doubt. The guilt. The way they flinched w

  • MATED TO MY BULLIES    Chapter 50: "Seraphina's Gambit"

    Seraphina's POV I watched from my office window as Karl Blackwood slipped out of the pack house at midnight, heading toward the forest with a backpack and determined expression. "Idiot," I murmured, sipping my wine. "Absolute idiot." "Should we follow him?" my lieutenant, Marcus (I'd kept the name as a small joke), asked from behind me. "No need." I turned from the window, smiling. "I already know where he's going. Who he's meeting. What he thinks he's accomplishing." I'd known about Karl's little rebellion for days now. My spies were better than he gave me credit for. Every "secret" meeting with Elijah. Every encrypted message to Elena Rodriguez. Every piece of "intelligence" he thought he was stealing. I'd allowed all of it. "You're going to let him continue?" Marcus asked, confused. "Of course." I settled into my chair, feeling the satisfaction of a plan falling perfectly into place. "Karl thinks he's being clever, playing double agent, feeding information to Maya's mother.
