Calder’s POV

Evelynn slept - if you could call that shivering, shallow breathing sleep.

We’d pulled the ruined curtains down and laid them over her for warmth. A pathetic substitute for blankets, but the packhouse was half a corpse and had nothing better to offer.

Her skin was pale as moon ash. Lips cracked. Faint tremors rippled through her muscles every few minutes, each one stabbing through the bond like a blade.

My wolf paced in circles inside me, frantic and furious. “She shouldn’t feel pain alone. Stay close. Stay closer.”

I already was.

Hell, all four of us were.

Rafe sat on one side of the bed, fingers wrapped around her wrist like he was physically willing her pulse to stay steady.

Jaxon had positioned himself at the foot of the bed, knees bouncing, eyes snapping toward every sound.

Maddox leaned against the wall but his breathing was uneven - barely restrained panic.

The wolves inside us pressed hard, howling against our ribs.

The mate-bond pulsed between the five of us l

  • Marked By The Four   Chapter 80 - Bond

    Calder POV For a full breath, the world stopped.No movement. No sound. Not even air dared to move. Just four wolves and one mate… fading.Then something primal detonated inside the room. Instinct. Pure, ancient, mate-bond instinct buried in the marrow of our bones.My wolf lunged through me so hard it knocked the breath from my lungs.“Touch her,” he roared. “Now.”Rafe’s wolf surged first.He didn’t shift, none of us did, but the presence of his wolf slammed into the room like a heartbeat returning after going still. His teeth lengthened, eyes burning gold as he pressed both hands against Evelynn’s cheeks.“Eve,” he rasped, voice no longer a man’s voice. “Come back.”Jaxon was next. His wolf rushed forward in a silent snarl, pushing through flesh and bone until Jaxon’s eyes glowed like twin lanterns. He climbed onto the bed, bracing himself around her body, his forehead tipping to her shoulder.“We’re here,” he whispered, and it sounded like a vow. “We’re not letting you go.”Maddo

  • Marked By The Four   Chapter 79 - Terrible Loss

    Calder’s POVBy 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 78 - Ash in Our Teeth

    Maddox POVEvelynn slept like someone who had fought her way through fire and heartbreak. Too still. Too pale. Her chest rose, but each breath felt like it had to claw through pain before it could reach the surface. I sat in the room with her, the little half-burned sanctuary that used to be hers, watching the faint rise and fall under the blanket.Calder, Jaxon, and Rafe moved like shadows through the hallway outside. Boards creaked. A beam groaned overhead. The whole packhouse felt like a lung full of smoke trying to breathe again.My wolf paced under my skin. "Stay with her. Guard her. Anyone tries to enter, we tear them apart."He was usually level-headed. Tonight, not even close.Evelynn shifted, maybe dreaming, maybe hurting. I adjusted the blanket, careful not to wake her. Her scent, even faded by exhaustion and smoke, still wrapped around the room like a memory trying to cling to the walls.Through the bond, her emotions flickered like faint sparks. Fear. Weariness. Something

    Aldric answered before any of us could push it: “Gone. She claimed what she wanted and left the place - left us - burned and she laughed on the way out.” He rocked on his heels. “I told Varrick she would do what he wanted. I told him she would make us right. I-” He pressed a hand to his temple as if to stop the sound within. “I thought the ends would justify it. I thought I could pull him back to ash and then raise her up. I thought I could be at her side.”“You thought you could trade lives for a crown,” I said, voice a blade. The Alpha compulsion was letting him confess, raw and defective. It exposed him, but it didn’t excuse him.Aldric nodded like a condemned man. “Yes. I wanted her. I wanted this pack to be hers because she was the only thing pure about it. And Varrick… he was softening. He laughed with the wrong men. He slept with the wrong women. I thought… if he fell, she would return to claim what was hers. I thought I could protect her better than him.”Silence pressed in -

  • Marked By The Four   Chapter 76 - The Beta’s Betrayal

    Rafe POVThe room smelled of lavender and ash, like someone had tried to polish a ruin. I held my ground by the bed, every muscle coiled. The photograph still smoldered at the edge of my vision - Luna in a gown, perfect and naive - and I hated how human that made her, how much I wanted to protect that impossible, fragile thing.Aldric stood in the doorway like a ghost who’d found a place he’d been allowed to haunt. He didn’t look like a traitor; he looked like a man who had spent his life convincing himself he was not one and who finally belived it. Ash smeared his jaw, sleeves singed, eyes hollow with a hunger that felt like religion.My wolf told me to kill him. The feeling rang in my bones, a raw, black thing that wanted blood for scent. But I wasn’t an animal with a single action. I was an Alpha, and I had a Luna breathing under this roof who’d bled for these people whether she remembered it or not.“Step away from the bed,” I said, voice steady and hard as flint.Aldric didn’t mo
