last update Last Updated: 2025-11-11 21:10:12

Calder’s POV

By the time I hit the door, my wolf had already shoved halfway through my skin. Claws cracked from my fingertips. My spine tried to lengthen. My teeth ached with the need to tear something apart.

Something was wrong.

Bad wrong.

“Open it,” my wolf snarled inside me, pacing, frantic. “Now, Calder. Now.”

I didn’t bother with the handle. I shoved the door so hard it slammed into the wall.

The smell punched us in the face.

Blood.

Not the metallic tang of battle. Not a clean wound or a wolf bite.

This was soft, raw, living blood. The kind that should never be spilled.

Rafe shot past me in a blur, and the noise that ripped out of him didn’t belong to a man. It was hollowed-out grief shaped into sound.

Jaxon froze in the doorway, fingers curling like he needed to catch himself on something that wasn’t there.

Maddox stumbled, one hand bracing on the wall. His breath hitched like someone sucker-punched him.

And Evelynn… Gods.

She was trembling on the bed, curled in on herself, one

  • Marked By The Four   Chapter 100 - Ecsape

    Rafe POVOne second we were moving toward the bikes, bootsteps crunching over gravel and ash. Calder had Eve tucked close, Elara at their side, muttering protection sigils under her breath like she was racing something we couldn’t see.The next second? The forest went silent. Too silent. Even the wind held its breath. My wolf’s hackles shot up so hard it hurt.“Rafe?” Eve whispered from where she leaned against me. Her hand tightened on my jacket. “Do you feel that?”Oh, I felt it.It hit like pressure, like something enormous exhaled across the treeline. The shadows bled together behind the tree line, crawling, pooling, forming something vaguely shaped like a woman but stretched wrong, twisted wrong.A whisper slid through the clearing like a blade scraping stone.“Thornborne…”Eve froze completely. Not fear. Recognition. Her wolf went dead-still inside her.Calder moved instantly shoved Eve behind him, fury pouring off him like burning oil.Jaxon and Maddox came flanking from both s

  • Marked By The Four   Chapter 99 - The Threat Returns

    Rafe POVThe moment the thing slammed into us, the air buckled.It wasn’t a creature. Not really. More like a smear of darkness given teeth and hatred, a shape made of wrongness itself - cold enough to freeze breath in my lungs, sharp enough to slice through the bond for one horrifying heartbeat.Jaxon staggered back with a snarl, claws ripping free. Maddox nearly vaulted over the chair. I grabbed Calder by the back of his shirt before he could throw himself between Eve and the thing.“Elara!” he roared.The witch was already moving.Her palms snapped upward - silver light streaking through the hall like lightning. It struck the shadow, splitting it into tendrils of black smoke, but they reformed instantly, twisting like serpents hungry for blood.“It’s not whole,” Elara rasped. “Just a fragment-”“It’s enough,” Jaxon bit out.The damn thing lunged again. Straight for Evelynn.Calder shifted halfway - claws tearing through his fingertips as he dove in front of her. The shadow hit him

  • Marked By The Four   Chapter 98 - We Are Not Ready

    Maddox POVThe walk back should’ve taken ten minutes. It took three.Because the moment the smoke cleared and the packhouse came into view, every muscle in my body locked.“What the actual fuck,” Jaxon breathed beside me.Rafe slowed to a stop, eyes wide, expression caught between awe and suspicion. “It was burned. Completely. Maddox, you saw it.”“I did.” I scrubbed a hand through my hair, still sticky with enemy blood. “Unless we all collectively hallucinated charred walls and caved ceilings, something happened.”Something big.Because the packhouse - the same half-ruined corpse we’d been sleeping in last night - now stood tall. Clean stone. Repaired beams. Windows intact. Like the fire had never touched it.Magic.And a shitload of it.Calder was the only one not with us. Which meant-Rafe snarled. “If something happened to him-”“Easy,” I muttered, tightening my grip on my blade. “Their scents are inside.”Not distressed. Not fighting. More like… intense. Focused. And Evelynn’s sc

  • Marked By The Four   Chapter 97 - See Me

    The world yanked sideways. Not painfully. Just suddenly. One heartbeat I was staring at Elara. The next I stood in a forest clearing.Night air. Wet moss. The faint burn of old ward magic.A place I’d never seen. Except… my wolf murmured, “No. We have been here.”A small stone cottage crouched under twisted oaks, half-hidden by thorns so thick they looked grown, not planted. Moonlight dripped over its roof like silver blood.A secret place. A safehouse.I took one step forward and the vision snapped sharply into focus. A woman stood at the door. - Not Elara. Not the witch. - My mother.My heart tripped. She looked younger than I remembered. Fierce. Determined. Holding a tiny bundle wrapped in a moon-patterned cloth.Holding me.Her voice was a whisper, breaking with fear. “Hide her. Please. She cannot be found.”A man continued, deep and sorrowful. My father.“She’ll come for the child,” he said. “She always comes for Thornborne blood.”My mother pressed her forehead against the cotta

  • Marked By The Four   Chapter 96 - Unmark Me

    Evelynn POVElara’s fingers hovered over my ribs, never touching, but somehow still brushing against every nerve ending I owned.Her magic felt like static lightning - sharp, silvery, humming just beneath my skin. Even Calder’s wolf leaned forward from across the room, suspicious but fascinated.I exhaled, closing my eyes for half a heartbeat. “Okay. Let me make sure I’ve got this straight.”Elara’s lips twitched. “Go on, Luna.”“Right,” I said, sitting up a bit despite her pushy witch-hand trying to keep me lying down. “So - when I touched that witch… I destroyed her body.”“Yes.”“But apparently I did not destroy all of her. Because I also accidentally freed her shadow.”“Mmhmm.”“And her shadow,” I continued, raising a brow, “is now somehow stuck to me.”“Correct.”“And she works for a twisted death goddess called the Hollow Mother who - what?- wants me for reasons we haven’t figured out yet?”Elara nodded calmly, as if I’d just recited a grocery list.I threw up a hand. “Oh, and l

  • Marked By The Four   Chapter 95 - Magic

    Evelynn POV The moment the front doors shut behind the boys, the packhouse fell into a strange, humming quiet.Too quiet.Elara rolled her shoulders once, the air shimmering faintly around her. Calder stood between us like a silent, broad-shouldered guardian, but even he couldn’t pretend he wasn’t curious - or wary - of the witch’s power.Elara inhaled deeply. “Alright,” she said, her voice shifting - not louder, but heavier. “Let’s get to work. There is no time to waste.”Before I could ask what she meant, she stepped forward and pressed her palm against the nearest burned wall.Calder stood beside me like a silent wall of muscle and tension. His hand hovered near my back without touching - torn between giving me space and wrapping me in his arms. His wolf was so close to the surface I could feel its heat.I didn’t miss the way he watched Elara either. - Not with lust. But with wary affection. Familiarity.The same way someone might watch an old friend they trust to walk straight
