Maeve.

The air shook with the force of our clash, my body colliding with Johan’s, his claws sinking into my shoulders, my jaws locked around his throat. Blood poured hot and bitter across my tongue, my chest burning with fire and rage, and for a moment neither of us gave way. We held each other in that grip of death, two wolves caught in a storm of hate and power, and the room spun around us with the weight of it.

My muscles screamed, my body trembling with pain, but the bond pulsed inside me, steady and fierce. Carson’s heartbeat thudded against mine, strong and sure, and it was his strength that poured into me when mine began to fade.

Hold on, Maeve, his voice whispered through the fire. Do not let go.

I tightened my jaws, my claws raking across Johan’s chest, the sound of tearing flesh loud in my ears. He howled, his body jerking, but he struck back hard, his claws digging deeper into my sides until fire ripped through my veins and I almost collapsed beneath the weight of it.

  • Maeve: Marked By Blood, Chosen By Fate.   Chapter 43: No Chains Took Strong

    Carson.The chamber reeked of blood and smoke, the stone floor slick beneath my boots as Roy’s lifeless body lay broken at my feet, but I could not even look at him anymore. My chest burned with something worse than fury, something I could not cage, because the bond had turned into fire inside me, sharp and raw, and I felt Maeve’s pain as if it were my own.I staggered forward, clutching the wall with one hand, my claws biting into the stone, and Marcus stared at me from across the room, his chest heaving, his eyes wide. He had seen me tear Roy apart, he had seen what the bond could do when fury pushed me beyond the edge, and I could smell the fear rolling off him now.But none of it mattered. None of it touched me. All I could feel was her.Maeve’s scream echoed through me. Maeve’s breath broke. Maeve’s voice whispered my name before it faded again.I dropped to my knees, my chest tearing open with the sound that ripped from my throat, half roar and half cry, and my vision blurred re

  • Maeve: Marked By Blood, Chosen By Fate.   Chapter 42: Chains Of Fire

    Maeve.The first thing I felt was heat. Not the warmth of a hearth fire or the blaze of battle but a heavy, choking heat that pressed into my skin and lungs until every breath burned. I forced my eyes open and found myself lying on rough black stone that cracked and glowed with red light, as if fire flowed beneath it. The air shimmered, thick with smoke, and in the distance I could hear whispers, hundreds of them, layered and low, crawling across the silence.I pushed myself up slowly, my body aching from every wound, my fur still matted with blood, and when I looked around, my chest tightened. The den was gone. The walls were gone. The world itself was gone. I stood in a vast hollow of stone and fire, the sky above a swirl of ash and flame, no stars, no moon, only endless red and black.My heart thudded in my chest, panic rushing through me, and I reached for the bond, desperate for Carson, desperate for his voice. It flickered faintly, weak as a candle in a storm, but it was there.

  • Maeve: Marked By Blood, Chosen By Fate.   Chapter 41: Torn From Him

    Maeve.The floor shook beneath my paws as the light poured from Johan’s body, the walls trembling with the roar of something I had no name for, and I could not move, I could not breathe, because I had seen death in his eyes when his throat broke beneath my teeth and yet here he stood alive in a way that was not alive at all. His wounds were gone, his chest smooth where blood had once poured, his body tall and straight, and his eyes glowed with that white fire that burned so bright I had to turn my head away.I forced air into my lungs, my chest heaving, and through the bond Carson’s heartbeat thudded against mine, steady and desperate, his voice whispering through me, Maeve, what is happening, what do you see?I wanted to answer him, I wanted to speak, but the words caught in my throat because Johan’s lips curled into that twisted shape again, not a smile and not a snarl, but something worse, something that promised I would never be free.“You tried to kill me,” the voice said, layere

  • Maeve: Marked By Blood, Chosen By Fate.   Chapter 39: Bond Of Blood

    POV: Maeve and CarsonThe clash with Johan rattled through my bones, his claws slashing across my fur, hot pain burning along my side, but the strength in me rose higher, stronger, until I barely felt the wound. My wolf lunged forward again, my teeth tearing into his shoulder, the taste of his blood flooding my mouth. He roared, his body crashing into mine, throwing me back against the wall, stone cracking beneath the force, but I landed on my paws and pushed off the ground, every muscle thrumming with wild power.His eyes burned with fury as he circled me, his claws flexing. “You think that bond will save you,” he spat, his voice low and sharp. “But love will make you weak.”I growled, my wolf’s voice strong inside me. No. Love makes us strong.And then I leapt again, refusing to break.Far away but not far enough, Carson’s chest heaved as he stood in the lower chamber, his eyes locked on Marcus who had stepped into the light with his blade drawn, while Roy still writhed on the floor

  • 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
