Zuri

A guard appeared soon after and informed me the Alpha would see me. I was led into the main hall. Garrick and Selena sat at the far end in high-backed chairs, finishing business with pack members. When Garrick’s eyes found me, interest sparked.

“Zuri,” Selena said, surprised. “You came all the way from Wild Fangs? That’s a long journey.”

I shrugged. She gestured for me to sit. Minutes later, the hall emptied.

“It’s good to see you again,” Garrick said. “I respect that you keep your end of

    LiraThe metal clank of the cell door announced Athena before I saw her.She stepped inside.The gold amulet around her neck caught the light, suddenly too bright to look at. Her white robe felt wrong in this place.I stayed on the cot and did not move.She looked me over, irritation and something close to regret crossing her face.“You look terrible,” she said.“Thanks.”My voice came out rough.I waited for the lecture, for the judgment. She stood in front of me and said nothing.After a moment, I asked, “Why are you here?”“To check on you.”I almost asked why. Shouldn’t she be relieved? This was happening to me.“You’re facing execution in three days,” she said. “The brothers are falling apart.”Her eyes traced my face. She shook her head.“I feel like I failed,” she said. “I sensed something was wrong the moment I met you. I didn’t push. I let you hide when I should have forced the truth out sooner.”I looked away.“It wouldn’t have changed anything,” I said quietly. “This was al

    Lira They came for me before dawn. Keys rattled outside the cell. Four guards stood at the door. Eyes fixed on me.I’d been awake for hours, back against the wall, watching the other women snore.“Time to go,” a guard said.The cuffs went on. My body moved when they pulled. I felt none of it. They led me through corridors and gates. Voices gathered ahead of us. The yard was already full. Council members lined the platform. Pack mates filled every space behind the barricades. Hundreds of eyes followed me. I kept my head up. I didn’t look at their faces.A raised platform stood across the yard. Guards lined the path to it, spears upright, eyes fixed on me.The crowd surged until wood and iron stopped them. Hands gripped the barricades. Bodies pressed close.An elder stepped past the barrier and spat. The white lump hit the dirt near my feet.I didn’t move.My name moved through the crowd. Low voices. Sharp whispers. I felt them more than I heard them.A horn sounded. The council too

    RivenJax pinched his lips together, frustration clear on his face.Kain stayed focused on the texts spread across the table. I was quiet, but I was not unaware that we were running out of time, and that none of us had answers yet.We sat around the oak table with books spread out between us. Some pages were folded. Notes filled the margins where we had stopped to argue or clarify something.Jax stood and poured himself a cup of coffee.“We can’t keep going in circles,” he said. “There has to be something out there. Or we’re chasing solutions that don’t exist.”“Relax, Jax,” Kain said without looking up. “We’ll find something if we keep searching.”“We don’t have time,” Jax snapped. “They’re going to burn her.”“I’m being realistic,” Kain said. “The odds are against us. We barely have anything to work with. We’ve been at this for days, and nothing we’ve found will change the Council’s mind. If we don’t slow down and think clearly, we’ll lose.”“Then tell me when you find something tha

    Lira Later that afternoon, I escaped to the library.I needed answers, needed to understand what was happening to me, what had happened to Xena, what the "third mark vanishing" actually meant.I found three more journals, all from different time periods, all documenting triple bond cases. None of

    Lira Silence fell over the room."You think she's not omega?" Jax asked slowly."I think we assumed she was omega. But nothing about her bond response matches omega behavior. The intensity, the balance, the way she grounds all three of us simultaneously—that's not possible for an omega.""Then wha

    LiraI was in the library browsing for what to read when I found a collection of journals dating back centuries ago. The third journal I opened made me gasp. The triple mark. I picked it up and headed to the window, drinking up every word that was unfortunately correlated with the stories my gra

    LiraJax spread my thighs wide and pulled me down without ceremony—straight onto his lap, my back to his chest, dress riding up as I straddled his thighs facing the stage.He smiled with satisfaction when his hands confirmed I had no panties on. His palms were hot, sliding up the bare skin of my th
