Old Wounds

Three days with the pack, and I'm finally understanding why Kael mentions they're his family.

Their initial hostility has yielded to wary tolerance, helped immensely by my ability to relieve their curse symptoms. I spend hours each morning methodically working my way through the settlement, using my empathetic abilities to soak up small amounts of their pain and channel it into the earth where Mira taught me it can safely seep away.

It's temporary, but it gives them a reprieve. Marcus can remain human for whole days now as opposed to minutes. Zara's gory shifting attacks slowed down from every hour to once or twice a day. The old pack members who were bedridden are now on the move in the settlement, participating in normal life again.

But it's hard labor. By mid-afternoon each day, I'm so exhausted that Kael has to pretty much carry me back to the cabin they've prepared for me. The accumulation of magical interference from the curse is more intense than anything I experienced training

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    Impossible odds

    The smell hit us first.Blood. Smoke. The acrid stench of fear that even my human nose could detect. We were still half a mile out when Rylan slowed the car, his knuckles white on the steering wheel."That's a lot of blood," Zara whispered from the backseat, her face pressed against the window.She wasn't wrong. Even from this distance, I could see the dark smoke rising above the tree line, thick and oily. Not woodsmoke. Something worse.Kael's hand tightened on mine. Through the mate bond, I felt his wolf straining against his weakened body, desperate to reach the fight. His injuries from three days of silver chains and wolfsbane hadn't healed. His partial transformation in that cell had taken something from him, left him hollowed out in ways I could feel but not fix."Easy," I murmured, squeezing back. "We're almost there.""Not fast enough." His voice was rough, half-growl. The wolf was still too close to the surface.Dexter leaned forward from the third row, his phone pressed to h

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    Through the Tunnels

    The bank is exactly as abandoned as Dexter promised. Broken windows, graffiti-covered walls, the hollow shell of a building that once meant something. Sebastian is waiting in the shadows near a service entrance, a lean wolf with sharp features and cautious eyes."You're late," he says by way of greeting."We're punctual," Rylan corrects. "You're just early.""Same thing in my world." Sebastian looks us over—me, Rylan, Zara, and two warriors Rylan selected for their stealth skills. "Small group. Good. The tunnels aren't built for armies.""How long to reach the cells?" I ask."Twenty minutes if we move carefully. Less if we're lucky and don't encounter patrols." He produces a flashlight. "Stay close. The tunnel system is a maze. People have gotten lost down there and never found their way out.""Comforting," Zara mutters.Sebastian leads us inside through a door that shouldn't open but does. The interior is gutted, just concrete and rust. He moves to what looks like a solid wall and pr

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    Arthur's Plan

    "Absolutely not."Dexter's voice cuts through the war council before anyone else can speak. We're all gathered in the main cabin, finalizing plans for the warehouse rescue. Sage has the cloaking spell prepared. Marcus has climbing gear ready. The warriors are armed and focused.And Dexter is shaking his head like we've all lost our minds."What do you mean, not?" Rylan demands. "We have the intel. We know where Kael is. We go in, extract him, get out. That's the plan.""That's a suicide mission disguised as a plan." Dexter leans against the wall, arms crossed. "You're talking about breaching a warehouse held by twelve hostile wolves, navigating to a silver-reinforced cell, extracting a hostage who's been drugged with wolfsbane, and escaping before they kill you all. The odds of success are maybe thirty percent. Probably less.""So what's your alternative?" I ask, frustration bleeding into my voice. "We can't just leave him there.""I didn't say leave him. I said don't commit suicide t

    I don't speak to Dexter the entire drive back.Marcus sits in the backseat, wisely staying silent while tension fills the car like smoke. My hands grip the steering wheel hard enough to hurt, anger and guilt and disgust all tangled together until I can't separate them.Dexter tortured someone. And I'm going to use the information he got.What does that make me?We arrive at pack territory to find Rylan coordinating final preparations for the rescue. He takes one look at my face and his expression hardens."What happened?""Conference. Now. Main cabin." I don't wait for agreement, just stride toward the building.The senior pack members gather quickly, sensing the urgency. Sage, Mira, Rylan, Zara, young Marcus, and two of the warriors who'll be part of the rescue team. Everyone who needs to hear this.Dexter enters last, his expression neutral. He leans against the wall near the door, arms crossed, waiting."Dexter went off-mission last night," I start without preamble. "Kidnapped one

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    The Kidnapping

    I wake at dawn to find Dexter's room empty.His bed hasn't been slept in. The window is open, curtains moving in the morning breeze. And there's a stillness to the space that suggests he's been gone for hours."Damn it," I mutter, checking my phone. Five thirty am. The meeting with James isn't until noon. Where the hell did he go?Rylan is already up when I find him, coordinating the morning patrol schedule. He looks up as I enter, reading my expression immediately."What's wrong?""Dexter's gone.""Gone where?""If I knew that, I wouldn't be concerned." I grab coffee from the pot, needing the caffeine. "He was making calls last night. Something about needing eyes on the warehouse. But this feels different.""Different how?""Like he's doing something he knew we'd try to stop." I drain half the cup in one go. "Can you reach out to pack scouts? See if anyone saw him leave?"Rylan nods and starts making calls. I pace the kitchen, my mind racing through possibilities. Dexter is smart eno
