Maeve: Marked By Blood, Chosen By Fate. Chapter 32: Her First Howl
Maeve.The pendant lay heavy on the blanket where Johan had set it, its glow soft and steady like a heartbeat, and I sat staring at it as if the metal itself were alive. My chest still burned from the moment I touched it, the fire still pulsing through me, and my hands shook as if they did not belong to me anymore.Johan stood close, too close, his eyes steady on mine, his voice low and patient. “You feel it now. You cannot deny it. That power belongs to you. It was never weakness, Maeve. It was only waiting.”I shook my head, but the words that should have been sharp broke on my tongue. “No… I… I still belong to him.”For a moment Johan’s expression hardened, his jaw clenching, but then he smiled faintly, as if he already knew the ending to a story I had not yet read. “You say that now. But the bond fades. Soon it will be gone, and all you will have left is what burns inside you.”I wanted to scream at him, to push him back, to end his words before they sank deeper, but then it happe

Carson.I held Roy against the cold stone floor, my hand at his throat, the rage still burning in me so fierce that my vision blurred, but then in the middle of that fury, I felt it. Her. Maeve’s bond flickered inside me, thin and faint but still alive, still reaching, like a hand through smoke. My chest tightened, my grip loosening on Roy without thought, because her presence always cut through everything else.I closed my eyes for one brief moment, breathing her in, and the scent that carried across the bond was not fear, not weakness, but fire.She was changing.Roy laughed low, blood dripping from his mouth. “You feel it, don’t you. She is slipping from you. That fire is not yours. It is his.”I pressed harder, snarling, but his words only pushed me closer to her, closer to the pull of her bond, and for the first time in hours, I let myself lean into it fully.Maeve, I whispered through the bond, my heart racing. Hold on to me. Remember me.The fire inside me flared, twisting, and

Carson.The room was thick with the smell of stone and dust and hidden things, the weight of the air pressing down until it felt like it might suffocate me, and Roy stood there in the faint glow of the lantern with the vial in his hand, his body loose but his eyes sharp, watching me as if I were not his Alpha but his prey.I stepped closer, my fists tight, my chest heavy with rage that burned so hot it almost blinded me, and every memory of him standing at my side, of him swearing loyalty, of him fighting with me, shattered under the truth I had just seen.“You were going to poison me,” I said, my voice low but steady.Roy tilted his head, the faint smile never leaving his face. “I was going to save the pack. You have lost control, Carson. You chase a woman who does not want you, you drag us all into war because of your obsession, and soon they will all die for it. I am only doing what must be done."The words cut deep, and my wolf snarled inside me, the sound rising in my chest until
Maeve: Marked By Blood, Chosen By Fate. Chapter 35: The Poisoned Truth
Maeve.I sat on the bed with my knees pulled to my chest, my fingers gripping the blanket so tightly that my knuckles turned pale, and the silence around me felt sharp enough to cut through skin. My wolf was pacing again, restless, growling at the air, whispering warnings into my head, but I felt too tired to listen. I could still hear Johan’s words from earlier, repeating in my mind again and again, louder than my wolf, louder than my own thoughts.The door opened and he stepped inside, carrying something in his hand this time, wrapped carefully in dark cloth, and his movements were slower than before, more deliberate, as if he wanted me to see how careful he was with whatever he carried.I straightened slowly, suspicion crawling through me. “What is that?”He stopped near the table, his eyes fixed on mine as he set it down gently. “A truth you were never meant to see.”I shook my head, fear twisting in my chest. “I do not want your truths. I know who I am.”Johan’s lips curved, not
Maeve: Marked By Blood, Chosen By Fate. Chapter 33: Seeds Of Betrayal
Maeve.The night was long and heavy, the air thick with the smell of herbs that clung to the walls and burned faintly in the back of my throat, and I lay on the narrow bed staring at the ceiling, my thoughts moving in circles I could not escape. Every time I closed my eyes I saw Carson’s face, torn with worry and anger, but then Johan’s words would echo again, steady and certain, reminding me that my strength was not mine alone, that it had come from something I did not yet understand.I turned onto my side, the blanket slipping from my shoulder, and my wolf stirred again inside me, restless, pacing, its voice clearer than it had ever been before.He is lying, it whispered, sharp and angry. You belong to Carson. You know this.But the whisper trembled, as if it too was unsure, and that small tremor sent fear curling tight in my chest.The door opened quietly, and Johan stepped inside, carrying a small bowl in his hands, the steam rising from it filling the air with a bitter scent. He
Maeve: Marked By Blood, Chosen By Fate. Chapter 33: Bound By Blood
Maeve.The room was still when I opened my eyes again, the lamp burning low in the corner and the shadows moving across the walls like slow waves, and for a moment I almost convinced myself it was a dream and that Carson would walk in and take me home, but the scent in the air was sharp with smoke and herbs and it was not his scent that wrapped around me, it was Johan’s.He was sitting in the chair by the bed, his posture relaxed, his eyes watching me with that strange calm that made me uneasy, as if he already knew what I would do before I did it. He had not left me alone for long, I realized, because his shirt was still stained with dried blood and his hands were clasped together, steady and patient.“You woke again,” he said, his voice soft but clear. “Good. Your body is stronger than you think, Maeve.”I swallowed, my throat dry. “Why are you keeping me here?”He leaned forward slowly, his elbows resting on his knees. “Because if I let you go now, you will only run back to him, an
