Marked by The Alpha Mated to His Brother The Depths of A Royal's Heart.
Keon’s POVThe question hangs between us.What happened to Winter?Not where was she?Not why does she smell like you?Not why did you lie to me?Those would have been easier.Instead…He asks about her.I study my brother.Trying to understand what he already knows.Trying to understand what he merely suspects.Trying to decide which answer destroys fewer lives.I settle for the safest one.“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”Derrick sighs.Not dramatically.Just…Disappointed.“Don’t insult me.”The words are calm.Calmer than I would have liked.He begins walking through the room.His fingers trail across the edge of my desk.He pauses beside the evidence board.Studies the photographs.
Marked by The Alpha Mated to His Brother The Weight of Silence.
Keon's POV:The investigation had stopped feeling like an investigation hours ago.Now it felt like a process of elimination.One by one.Name by name.Possibility by possibility.Until eventually...Someone would remain.I leaned over the map spread across my desk, one hand planted against the polished oak while the other rested against my jaw.The room had fallen into the kind of silence that only existed between people who had worked together for years.Comfortable.Focused.Dangerous.Rowan stood opposite me, another stack of reports balanced beneath one arm as he scribbled fresh notes onto the parchment already littered with names.Some were crossed out.Others circled.A few had question marks beside them.Far too many question marks."The western boarder patrol guards?" I asked.Rowan didn't even look up."Cleared.""Reason?""They never left the western wall. Three independent reports confirm it."I nodded."Captain Rhys?""Leading border inspections.""Verified?""Twice."Ano
Marked by The Alpha Mated to His Brother Homecoming pt.2
Derek's POVThe corridor curved gently to the left.The scent grew stronger.Wildflowers.Fresh rain.Winter.My pace slowed.Not because I wanted it to.Because something about the scent refused to settle in my mind.It wasn't wrong.It was...complicated.Like hearing two melodies played over each other.One I knew by heart.The other...equally familiar.My wolf remained silent now.Watching.Waiting.So did I.Then she came into view.Standing at the far end of the corridor, sunlight spilling through the windows behind her.She had not seen me yet.She stood perfectly still, her fingers lightly brushing the pendant resting beneath the collar of an oversized shirt.My shirt.For reasons I couldn't explain, relief washed through me.She was safe.Standing.Breathing.Whole.Whatever had unsettled the castle, whatever had put that strange look in everyone's eyes...it had not taken her from me.I hadn't realized how tightly I had been holding my breath until it escaped me.She turned
Marked by The Alpha Mated to His Brother Homecoming pt.1
Derek's POV Home. It is a strange thing, how a single word can become enough to keep a man moving. For the better part of these few weeks, that word had been the only thing keeping me patient. The vampire territories had always been difficult, but this time, they had somehow managed to become worse. A small faction of younger clans had decided centuries of treaties no longer suited them. They called themselves reformists. Revolutionaries. Liberators. Everyone else called them fools. They wanted independence from the old houses that had governed vampire society for generations, claiming the elders had become complacent and corrupt. Normally, internal disputes between vampires were exactly that—internal. The wolves had little interest in who sat on which throne so long as our borders remained untouched. Unfortunately, revolutions rarely respected borders. One reckless raid had become two. Two had become seven. Then villages near the eastern frontier began reporting disappeara
Marked by The Alpha Mated to His Brother The Weight of Choice.
Winter’s POV: When Mother leaves, a different unusual feeling floods my nerves. I look around and the first thing I notice is the herbs. My mind is no longer on the fading pain of the earlier attack. The exhaustion that threatened to pull my under had now transitioned into a calm feel. The herbs Jet left behind still sit untouched on the stool. Their strange glowing liquid fill the room with an earthy scent that settles my racing thoughts. Beneath it, however, another scent lingers. Keon's. Like something my body recognizes before my mind can argue against it. I close my eyes. For a moment, I let myself exist without thinking. No relics. No attacks. No expectations. No choosing. Just breathing. But peace has never lasted long for me. Eventually, reality returns. And with it comes the memory of everything Adriana said. My mother. Her words. The way she looked at me like she had always known something I was still trying to understand. L
Marked by The Alpha Mated to His Brother An Alpha and His In-law.
Keon's POV:The door opens.And there she is.Adriana Quilox.Winter's mother.The woman who somehow manages to carry herself like someone who has survived storms and learned how to walk through them without letting anyone see the damage.Her eyes immediately find mine.Then Rowan.Then the files scattered across the desk.For a moment, I wonder what she sees.The evidence.The secrets.The things I failed to prevent.She steps inside, closing the door behind her.I open my mouth."Lady Quilox—""I know."The words stop me.Completely.The room falls silent.Not the normal silence.The kind that comes right before something breaks.Rowan looks at me.I look at him.A conversation passes between us without a single word.What does she know?How much does she know?And more importantly—Which secret is she talking about?My mind immediately begins calculating every possibility.Winter being here.Winter being injured.The second attack.The bond.Us.If she knows one thing, we might sur
Marked by The Alpha Mated to His Brother The Talk. pt1
Winter’s POV His gaze sharpens slightly after my words. “No,” he says. The answer is immediate. Certain. It catches me off guard. I frown slightly. “It complicates things.” “That doesn’t make it wrong.” My chest tightens. That confidence in his voice… it does something to me. Dan
Marked by The Alpha Mated to His Brother After The Haze.
Winter’s POVI wake up slowly.Not all at once. Not like something startled me awake. It’s more like my body comes back first, piece by piece, and then my mind follows after.The first thing I notice is the soreness.It settles deep in my muscles, low and unfamiliar, and it makes me pause before I
Marked by The Alpha Mated to His Brother How Far An Alpha Will Go.
Keon’s POVShe doesn’t say anything when I lift her.Not a word.Her body just relaxes into mine like she doesn’t have the strength to argue, her head falling lightly against my shoulder, her breathing slow and uneven from exhaustion.Or maybe from everything that just happened.I don’t question it
Marked by The Alpha Mated to His Brother The Art of Fornication.
Winter's POV: Fuck. My head rests on Keon's chest, both of us panting as we try to catch our breaths. I can still feel his semi-hard dick in me, our bodies still connected by our cores. The mate bond has my nerves overflowing with pleasure, my still wet pussy throbbing even after I've come.
