Eli

The council noise doesn’t leave with the wolves. It hangs in the beams like smoke that won’t find a way out. Marek’s voice sticks in my ears, distraction, weakness, compromised, until I want to peel my skin off and leave it on the floor like a snake that’s shed.

I last ten minutes in Ronan’s cabin. Five of those are spent staring at the ceiling, five spent staring at the door. I know he’ll be working late and I’ll have to find my own distraction.

I grab my jacket, pocket a knife, and ghost

  • Marked by the Alpha: Blood Oath   Chapter 201 – Blood Oath Renewed

    EliBlackthorn has never been this quiet.Not even the wind dares to whisper by the time the moon climbs to its full height. The air feels carved from silver and smoke.The courtyard has been cleared and ringed in torchlight. The brazier stands at its center, an old iron thing, carved with the same runes we all wear over our hearts. Someone polished it until it gleams.One by one, the pack gathers. Jace and Hazel first, their shoulders brushing as they take their place. Mara stands tall beside the flame, her face half-lit, half-shadow, the perfect commander even in peace. Vaughn’s here too, his Hollowrock wolves hanging back near the gates, silent and respectful.Ronan steps forward and the hush deepens. The light catches on his hair, the scar along his jaw, the metal clasp of his knife belt. He looks like something carved out of the mountain itself. Steady, eternal, a little terrifying.And somehow, mine.He gestures for me to join him and my feet move before my brain catches up. The

  • Marked by the Alpha: Blood Oath   Chapter 200 – The Alpha’s Ally

    MaraPeace has a lot more paperwork than war. Stacks of it, that needs to be filed in triplicate.By the second week of relative calm, my desk looks like it’s trying to breed.There are requisitions from Hollowrock, reports from Silvercrest, border patrol updates, trade agreements, hunting permits, and an entire pile of anonymous suggestions about which packs we should ally with and what to demand from them.I’ve fought Redmaw raids with less aggravation.Eli says I should be grateful. “You wanted stability,” he told me yesterday, sprawling across my chair like he owns it. “This is what stability looks like. Boring. Bureaucratic. It’s up to you to make it sexy. Be creative. Create moments of joy. Maybe you can seduce Alpha Vaughn on your desk?”I threw a quill at his head, which he caught easily and called ‘proof of your deep affection for me.’He’s been more unbearable than usual since we got back. Ronan keeps him too busy to cause real trouble, but that doesn’t stop him from meddl

  • Marked by the Alpha: Blood Oath   Chapter 199 – The Lesson of Control

    JaceThe cold seeps into me from below. An unforgiving contrast to the furnace that burned between us before we were too tired to keep going and passed out in each others arms. It's not the biting cold of the storm anymore, but the deep, damp chill of the ancient stone radiating up through the thin blanket. My muscles are tight, humming with the thick, glorious ache of the aftermath.I open my eyes and the sight that meets me makes the breath still in my lungs. Hazel lies next to me, her body curled into mine, her skin catching the light of the dying fire. She’s perfectly exposed, and the sight of her drives a heavy, thick ache of possession through my groin. I prop my head up on an elbow, breathing deep, savoring the musk of sweat, sex, and rain that still clings to her. Even in slumber, I felt the victory, but now it burns with the heat of a thousand suns. The relentless wolf I unleashed has done its work. The General is back in charge for now, but the wolf’s satisfaction is abso

  • Marked by the Alpha: Blood Oath   Chapter 198 – Finally

    HazelWhen he kisses me, it’s a collision. A violent, possessive claim that shatters the fragile composure I’ve been building for a year. His mouth should be declared a dangerous weapon. I lose my breath. I lose my name. For a moment all I can do is hold on to his shoulders in order to stay upright. My sanity is lost somewhere between us. He pulls back an inch, his dark eyes burning. “Still angry?”“Please kiss me again,” I beg in a whisper, the raw submission making my voice shake. I’m a strong, independent female. Unless Jace and nudity is involved apparently.He does, without hesitation. The second kiss is slower, deeper, the kind that rearranges your idea of what breathing is for. I’m so hot, I want to cast off the blanket covering me. I forget the actual fire until his large, rough palm slides up the back of my neck and the raw warmth of his skin outshines it. Every bit of snark deserts me at once. I am left bare. “Tell me to stop, Delta,” he says, voice rough with command. Not

  • Marked by the Alpha: Blood Oath   Chapter 197 – The Watchtower

    HazelWhen the rain starts sluicing down and it’s immediately obvious that the bridge will be flooded and impassable, I’ve already decided I’m going to kill Eli.Not quickly. Slowly. With paperwork. Because if there’s one thing that little fucker can’t stand, it’s tedium. Rain sheets across the ridge, swallowing the road behind us like a greedy beast. The old watchtower looms ahead, gray stone half-crumbled, its door hanging by one hinge. The ruinous isolation is not why I’m afraid to run in there. The being trapped with Jace in a confined space, all by ourselves, is a much more daunting prospect.Jace’s voice cuts through the downpour. “Get inside. Now.”He doesn’t shout. Authority just lives in his tone, heavy, absolute and unquestionable. I shoulder past him out of sheer spite, dripping water everywhere, and drop my pack with a rebellious thud. None of this is actually his fault, but somebody has to bear witness to how fucking pissed off I am.“Wonderful,” I mutter. “Trapped. Cold

  • Marked by the Alpha: Blood Oath   Chapter 196 – A Trap of His Own Making

    EliSome people meddle quietly. I prefer style.The morning feels too calm. The pack is busy rebuilding, Ronan’s being disgustingly competent, and I’m restless. I’ve already decided happiness shouldn’t be hoarded, now I just have to find a way to spread the joy. Specifically in Hazel and Jace’s direction. Anyone unfortunate enough to get stuck in a room with the two of them ends up feeling like they’ve walked into a lovers’ quarrel halfway through act two. Where the lovers in question are studiously ignoring each other. It’s unhealthy.So, naturally, I take it upon myself to fix it.It takes a bit of wrangling to get all the pieces into place, and a hell of a lot is riding on the weather doing what it’s supposed to, but by mid-morning the ball is rolling.Hazel needs to pick up a supply delivery from Hollowrock. A handful of barrels stored near the old watchtower halfway down the ridge road. Normally, she’d drag two juniors with her. Today, she’s getting Jace.She doesn’t know that y

  • Marked by the Alpha: Blood Oath   Chapter 87 – Ash Between Us

    RonanThe weight of stone and long-dead fires lingers in the meeting hall, the atmosphere thick enough to strangle a breath. My pack fills the large room. Alphas, Betas, wolves who seem to think their rank gives them the right to question me. They murmur like a hive, restless, buzzing with suspici

    Eli“You’re two minutes late,” Hazel accuses when I reach her. “Thank you for trusting me,” I say, meaning it sincerely for once. She’s the only who ever gives me the benefit of the doubt. If she thought I couldn’t handle myself, she’d have told Jace, and the entire cavalry would have come huntin

    EliI wake with my head splitting in two.Not the dull ache of a hangover, not the throb of a fight gone wrong, this is sharper. Like someone drove an axe through my skull and left it there, blade still lodged.When I try to move, I realize why everything feels wrong.I’m slung over someone’s shoul

Fitting. Ronan doesn’t look up from the map spread across the table. He doesn’t
