Marked by blood, bound by fate. Chapter 25
“His Majesty, Alpha King Titan.” Dalton’s voice cuts cleanly through the room, formal as ever, though Maxine catches the faint tightening at his jaw before he steps aside. “Thank you, Dalton.” Titan’s gaze sweeps the room, and Maxine has the sense — not for the first time — that he’s not simply looking, but assessing. “Ladies, forgive my interruption, but I wish to take my mate away.” Elara dips into a graceful bow. “Your Majesty. As you wish.” Titan crosses to Maxine, and the shift in him is immediate, the coldness she thought she caught earlier smoothed warmth and doting aimed towards her. He takes her hand. “I hope seeing your mother again has been everything you’d hoped.” Maxine hesitates. But the words come out more honest than she thought they would. “It’s not what I expected, to say the least. And I do have quite a number of questions.But it was good to know I have a mother.” Satisfaction flickers across Titan’s face, she takes it in. Then he smiles, slow and indulgent, a

Jeremiah sighs, dragging both hands down his face. “What’s there left to do?” “The work. The planning.” Drago rubs the back of her neck, staring at the stack of unread reports like it’s personally offended her and has no intention of apologizing. “Not forgetting running an entire pack, especially with him going off to the human libraries.” “Right. And who knows how long that’ll take.” Soren mutters. “Also, we do need a way not to make it too obvious.” “It’s your idea.” Jeremiah crosses his arms, leaning back against the desk, watching Soren pace the stretch of floor between the window and the bookshelf. “What do you plan on making of it and how do you plan on going about it without raising suspicion?”“I could go early in the morning, before dawn. Not many would be up by then.” “Or maybe the soldiers will get a glimpse of your form.” Jeremiah raises an eyebrow, tapping a finger against his crossed arm. “One sighting of a Gamma slipping the border at odd hours and the whole pack’s
Marked by blood, bound by fate. Chapter 23
Five days- that’s how long it has been since the Alpha of the Nightshade Pack has been in that painfully unconscious state. His sister had tried all medications she could think of, but none worked. The pack was being run by his second and third in command, but the two were heavily worried about him nonetheless. The days grew darker as the Alpha’s sleeping state didn’t improve any more than the pain depicted by his face did. A knock sounds at the door. Soren enters. “How is he? Any changes?” Drago sighs pitifully. “None so far; he’s been that way since I got here.” “Are you sure there’s nothing we can do…?” Jeremiah asks desperately. “I’ve tried all I could.” “I’ve gone through all the books I could find, but still, nothing.” Soren’s jaw ticks. “None of them says anything more other than the story I read.” “Does it say how he woke up?” “No.” “Do we know how long he’ll remain like this?” Jeremiah looks to Soren. “Unfortunately, still no.” His gaze moves to Drago. “I have no i

Maxine stares at the woman before her. The word continues echoing through her mind.Daughter. Not Your Highness. Not Future Luna. Not Maxine. Daughter.The room seems to disappear around her.For a moment, she isn’t sitting in the Northern Chambers of the Alpha King’s castle. She isn’t a wolf shifter. She isn’t a future queen.She’s just a little girl again—a little girl who spent years wondering why everyone else had parents to run to.A little girl who used to stare at families playing and running around outside as they walked through the city market with Kassy when restocking supplies and imagining what her mother’s voice might have sounded like.A little girl who had long since accepted that she would never know. “Daughter.”The word breaks through her thoughts again. And before she can stop herself, she’s moving. She crosses the room in what feels like a single heartbeat.The woman—Elara—opens her arms. Maxine throws herself into them. The embrace is warm. Too warm. She smells o

Maxine wakes to the sound of someone calling her name, or rather, her new title.“Your Highness?” A groan escapes her lips before she can stop it.The morning sun streams through the curtains, its golden rays piercing directly into her eyes. She throws an arm over her face and buries herself deeper beneath the warm, cozy blankets.“Oh, you are awake, Your Highness.” Eliza sounds entirely too cheerful for this hour of the morning. Inside her mind, a familiar voice grumbles. “Can I shut her up?”Maxine bites back a laugh. Thraen was not a morning wolf—at all. ‘No,’ Maxine replies silently. ‘You may not.’“Shame.” A yawn stretches through their shared consciousness. “I was having a wonderful dream. There was food. Lots of food.”Maxine cracks an eye open. “Why are we awake so early?” she asks, her voice thick with sleep. “It’s not like I have much to do around here.”Across the room, Eliza has already begun pulling back the heavy curtains one by one, flooding the chamber with even mor

Dalton pauses and nods once, strutting towards the door. The moment he disappears into the corridor, Eliza closes the distance between them.“Drink while it’s hot.”Maxine looks down at the tea, then back at Eliza. The maid smiles. Everything looks normal yet today it feels wrong.Still, Maxine raises the cup to her lips. She takes a sip, then another, and another... The warmth spreads through her body almost immediately. Her shoulders relax and the room softens around the edges. She blinks, a yawn escapes her lips. “I guess it’s time.”Eliza’s smile widens. “The medicine is working.”‘Medicine.’Right, of course. That made sense. Maxine tries to nod. The effort seems strangely difficult. She sits down on the bed. The song from the forest sounded farther away now. Like hearing music underwater.“Get some shut eye your highness.” Eliza coos.Maxine’s eyelids grow heavier, but she thinks about Dalton, about what he had almost said. About the way he’d looked at her.“Eliza?”“Yes, Your

Kassy moves towards the creature. She gets hit hard. The force of the blow sends her crashing directly into the cabin wall with a sickening bone crack. Wood spreads everywhere as the entire structure shudders. “KASSY!” No response. The creature doesn’t bother pausing, stepping forward, it compl

Three moons ago.Maxine knelt by the wet cabin floor. Her glove-clad hands gripped the brush as she scrubbed at a particularly thick, stubborn stain.To the outside world, one would assume she was perfectly focused on the task at hand.But her mind was barely there with her body. The past two weeks

Branches pull away before she can collide with them. Roots sink back into the earth just as her foot comes down. The dense, impossible terrain reshapes itself—guiding her, protecting her, choosing her.Behind her, the struggle continues.Varkul roars, furious, enraged—but the deeper she runs, the q
Marked by blood, bound by fate. Chapter 6
Somewhere beyond the border of a neighbouring kingdom, where the city’s reach thins into wild, green, she moves leisurely. The forest itself is alive with quiet glory. The birds sing their song like a welcome gift, leaves dance in the soft breeze, and the light touches her skin, curious as she
