Avalon's POV

I don't wait to hear more of my father's speech. The sight of Jason trapped in that glass prison, the terror in his eyes, the way Ivan is being held back by half a dozen guards—it all crystallizes into one burning certainty. This has to stop. Now.

I push back through the crowd, ignoring the whispers and stares that follow me. My feet carry me toward the dormitory with desperate purpose. There's only one person who can end this nightmare, only one person whose confession could free Jason from my father's machinations.

Kaelen.

The door to his room is still unlocked when I reach it. He's exactly where I left him, sitting on the floor with his back against the wall, still pale and shaken from our earlier confrontation. The scattered papers and evidence are still spread across his desk like accusations.

He looks up when I enter, his amber eyes widening with fear. "Avalon, I—"

"Shut up," I snap, pulling the folded paper from my pocket. "Your father asked me to give you this."

  • Masked Desire   Chapter 101

    Jason and I follow Captain Kael through the winding stone halls of the palace, each step tightening the knot in my stomach. The snow has thickened outside, the wind howling through the towering trees that frame the Lycan border like sentinels.When we finally reach the front gates, I spot the figure immediately.Avalon stands just beyond the iron boundary, dressed in thin clothing wholly unfit for this kind of cold. His hair is damp, clinging to his forehead, and his lips are tinged blue from exposure. Snow has gathered at his boots and shoulders, yet he stands unmoving, arms crossed tightly over his chest like it’s the only thing holding him together.Jason lets out a quiet, anguished sound and moves to open the gate, but I stop him with a firm hand.“I’ll do it,” I say.I step into the snow-laden night, the cold biting at my skin instantly. Avalon’s head lifts at the sound of my approach. His eyes—so similar to Jason’s in color but dulled with something broken—meet mine.“Avalon,” I

    Ivan's POVI find Jason in the blue suite, standing by the massive stone window that overlooks the Lycan forests. He's silhouetted against the fading daylight, his shoulders tense with barely contained emotion. Even from across the room, I can feel his distress through our bond—a mixture of hurt, uncertainty, and something that might be resignation."Jason," I say softly, closing the door behind me.He doesn't turn around immediately, just continues staring out at the darkening landscape. "It's beautiful here," he says quietly. "I can see why you love it."I cross the room to stand behind him, my hands settling gently on his shoulders. "Are you alright? I know that conversation with my mother was—""Brutal?" Jason turns in my arms, and I can see the careful composure he's been maintaining starting to crack. "Ivan, she hates me. Actually hates me, and she doesn't even know me.""She doesn't hate you," I say, though the words feel hollow even to me. "She's just... protective of the pack

  • Masked Desire   Chapter 99

    Ivan's POVThe Lycan Territory spreads out before us as our transport crests the final hill, and I feel Jason's sharp intake of breath beside me."It's... incredible," Jason whispers, his eyes wide as he takes in the sheer scale of the fortress. "I've never seen anything like it.""Wait until you see the inside," I tell him, squeezing his hand reassuringly. "My father will want to meet you properly. He's heard about what happened at the academy."Jason tenses slightly at the mention of recent events. The trauma is still fresh, still raw, despite the justice that was served. I can feel his anxiety through our bond, the way he's second-guessing himself about coming here with me."Hey," I say softly, turning to face him fully. "You belong here. With me. Don't let anyone make you think otherwise."The massive gates of the stronghold swing open as our transport approaches, guards in traditional Lycan armor snapping to attention. The sight of the banners—a silver moon over crossed swords o

    Elena's POVI'm sitting in my father's study when he tells me about the arrangement, and I have to grip the arms of my chair to keep from showing how the news affects me."Kaelen Hillson?" I repeat, keeping my voice carefully neutral. "The one who was arrested for falsifying evidence?""The very same," my father says, settling back in his leather chair with a satisfied expression. "His father came to me with a proposal. The boy needs rehabilitation, needs to prove he can be a productive member of society. Marriage to you would accomplish that while also strengthening our pack's political position."I nod slowly, as if I'm considering this revelation for the first time instead of having spent sleepless nights thinking about it since Thomas Hillson first approached our family."He's... damaged goods, isn't he?" I ask carefully. "I mean, what he did to that omega was pretty horrible. Are you sure this is wise?""Damaged goods can be repaired with the right guidance," my father replies. "

  • Masked Desire   Chapter 97

    Kaelen's POVThe supernatural detention facility is nothing like the human prisons I'd imagined from movies. The walls themselves seem to pulse with containment magic, designed specifically to suppress supernatural abilities and prevent escape. I've been here for three weeks now, and every day feels like a year.My cell is small, sterile, and utterly silent except for the hum of magical barriers. No windows, no contact with the outside world except for the guards who bring meals and escort me to the shower block. The isolation is driving me slowly insane, giving me nothing to do but replay every terrible decision that led me here.Jason's face haunts me—the way he looked at me with such disgust and betrayal, the sound of those three slaps echoing in my mind like thunder. Each one deserved, each one a small payment toward a debt I'll never be able to fully repay.The mate bond is still there, a constant ache in my chest that reminds me of what I've lost. I can feel Jason's emotions som

  • Masked Desire   Chapter 96

    Jason's POVThe world comes back to me in fragments—harsh fluorescent lights, the taste of metal in my mouth, voices echoing around me like I'm underwater. My limbs feel heavy, disconnected, and there's a persistent ache behind my eyes that makes it hard to focus."Jason? Jason, can you hear me?"Ivan's voice cuts through the haze, warm and familiar and desperately concerned. I try to turn toward the sound, but my head feels like it weighs a thousand pounds."I'm here," I whisper, my voice coming out cracked and barely audible. "Ivan?""Right here, love. Right here." His hand finds mine, strong and steady, and I cling to it like an anchor. "They're getting you out of this thing. Just hold on a little longer."The glass enclosure. I remember now—being trapped, watching helplessly as Lord Ravenscrest spoke about transferring me somewhere else, the sting of the IV needle as they pumped drugs into my system. The memory makes my chest tight with panic."What's happening?" I manage to ask,
