The box is small enough to fit under my arm and I’m annoyed by how nervous I am about Eli’s reaction.

I watch the way Eli’s eyes flick from the leather hinges to my face.

“You’ve been planning,” he says, drawing out the last word like it’s suggestive. “Has my Alpha been doing research to spice up the way he plays with me?”

I catch his chin between thumb and forefinger and tilt his face up until his throat shows. “I don’t play,” I tell him, amused at the lie. “I claim.”

A pleased shiver runs through him and he’s ridiculous enough to pretend it’s because the room is drafty.

“There are rules,” I say, because I’ve learned that ritual steadies him. “You drink water when I tell you, or any time you need it. You immediately speak up if anything feels wrong, not later. And when I say stay still, you stay still.”

His grin goes feral. “And if I don’t?”

“You will,” I answer. “You like what happens when you do.”

A flush rises, visible even in the firelight. He’s going to needle anyway, be

  • Marked by the Alpha: Blood Oath   Chapter 150 – The Weight of Disappointment

    AlaricThe great hall of Silvercrest glows under morning light caught and broken by high panes of stained glass. Gold-threaded tapestries pour down the walls in silks and winter dyes. Hunts, treaties, the founding of our city on the river’s bend. The floor is a mosaic of lapis and onyx, the crest at its center polished smooth by the soles of generations. A hundred candles burn in branched candelabra, wasteful in daylight, deliberately so, spilling honey-colored light across marble and men alike. It is the quiet music of wealth.I sit alone at the head of the long walnut table, hands flat on the wood.Kieran has disappointed me. Again.The courier’s letter lies open before me. I read it again because anger prefers repetition, wants to savor the failure line by line.“Blackthorn thanks us for our gifts.”“Negotiations ongoing.”“Eli Vale remains in Blackthorn.”Giving the boy Ronan’s surname is offering a legitimacy to his claim. My son is a stupid cunt, who should not have been truste

  • Marked by the Alpha: Blood Oath   Chapter 148 – Cupid with Claws

    EliWhen I wander into the lodge’s dining room, the air tastes like salt and meat and victory.Hazel’s victory, specifically.She’s at a table with her new iron insignia pinned crookedly to her collar, hair braided back, mouth full, trying very hard to look unimpressed by the wolves who keep detouring past just to clap her shoulder so hard her teeth rattle. Every time she says “thank you” she tries to make the words sound bored, and every time they come out a little breathless instead.Adorable.I drift behind her and lean down till my chin rests on the crown of her head. “Congratulations, Warrior Sunshine.”She swats without looking. I slip sideways and her hand whiffs the air. “If you call me Sunshine again,” she says, “I’m going to put an arrow through your foot. Left one, so you remember not to lead with it.”“My Alpha would kill you and pamper me,” I say. “It hardly seems worth it for you.” I kiss the top of her head, because she hates it. “Look at you. Our very own terror of th

  • Marked by the Alpha: Blood Oath   Chapter 147 – Blood and Bruises

    HazelThe training yard stinks of sweat and churned snow. Frost clings to the posts and to the edges of the obstacle wall, but the center is already beaten clear by boots and blood. My blood, mostly. My shoulder throbs where I take a spear-butt too slow, and there’s a bloom of purple already swelling under the edge of my collar.It doesn’t matter. I spit blood into the dirt and reset my stance.“Again,” I snap before the captain can even open his mouth. I will not fail today. I’ll impress this man and earn my place in the elite warriors squad. There are no other options. The wolf across from me, older, broader, one of those who openly scoffed when a Delta petitioned for the warrior track, grins like he’s been handed dessert. His blade flashes, a blunted practice sword meant to bruise instead of cut, though he has the air of a man who wouldn’t mind if it cracks bone.He comes in fast and I take the first strike on my guard, but the second slips past and slams into my ribs. Pain stea

  • Marked by the Alpha: Blood Oath   Chapter 146 – Uneasy Departures

    RonanThe last carriage wheel cuts a deep rut in the snow, the iron rim squealing faintly as it vanishes around the curve of the lodge road. Blue and silver banners trail behind the convoy, their embroidery catching the weak dawn light like water rippling over ice. The guards ride in stiff formation, helms gleaming, horses shod in steel. What the hell kind of werewolf rides a horse?Beside me, Jace stands with his hands clasped loosely behind his back, watching them go without a word.Behind us, Eli mutters through a yawn, scarf bunched under his chin. “It’s too bloody early and too bloody cold. I’m going back to bed before my fingers fall off.”He brushes snow off the porch rail with one hand, shoots me a mischievous look that dares me to join him, then pads back into the cabin with the lazy confidence of a man who knows he can bend law and still be adored. I keep watching until the carriages are swallowed by the trees. Then I exhale through my nose, slow and heavy. It feels like a

  • Marked by the Alpha: Blood Oath   Chapter 145 – Razor’s Edge

    KieranThe candle gutters low, painting the lodge walls with the kind of shadows that seem to lean in close, as if they’re watching me distrustfully.As if they know I’m wrestling with my own conscience about the downfall of Blackthorn. Since the moment Eli’s voice cut through the air like a knife and left me gutted, I knew I’d run out of time. I can’t delay any longer.“I already have everything I need in Blackthorn.”The words repeat, merciless, every time I close my eyes.It shouldn’t matter. I knew what the answer would be. I knew Eli’s loyalty to Ronan is deeper than blood, deeper than bond, deep enough to look a hall full of wolves in the eye and tell them in no uncertain terms that he belongs only to Ronan Vale.But it does matter. It matters so much it’s tearing me in two.My father, Alpha Alaric of Silvercrest, will not be patient. To him, patience is a weakness, a sign of a soft heart unfit to rule. He believes in coin and action. In sending mercenaries to solve problems rat
