MIRA

I pressed my hand hard against my chest, right where the mate bond was turning into a literal wildfire. It was hot, heavy, and so loud in my head I couldn't think.

He’s close. He’s right here. But where?

Is he still outside in the trees? Or is he actually inside the house, moving through the hallways like a ghost?

Every second that ticked by felt like someone was tightening a wire around my throat. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't move.

Suddenly, a knock sounded at the door. It was soft. Alm

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    Listening device

    ISLA'S POVTobias found me that same evening. I was sitting in the small, makeshift office they’d given me, staring at a stack of maps I didn’t really want to see. When the door opened, I didn’t even have to look up to know it was him. He didn't say anything at first. He just pulled out the chair across from me and sat down. He looked tired. There were dark circles under his eyes that hadn’t been there a week ago. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on the wooden surface, and looked me straight in the eye."Tell me about Cato," he said. "I want to know everything you have on him."I leaned back and let out a breath I’d been holding for hours. "You want to know about Cato? Where do you even want me to start, Tobias? There’s a lot.""Start from the beginning," he replied, pulling a pen and a notepad from his jacket pocket. "What makes him tick? How does he move?""He doesn't move unless he’s already won," I said. I felt a cold chill go down my spine just thinking about the way Cato o

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    What she left behind

    ROWAN'S POVThe document stayed pressed against my chest the entire ride back, and I didn't open it once.It wasn't mine to open. My mother had addressed it clearly, and whatever was inside belonged to Mira before it belonged to anyone else, including me. I didn't know what my mother had written, and I found that I wasn't ready to know anyway. There was something that felt almost sacred about that ignorance, and I held onto it the way I held the sealed paper — carefully, because pressure alone might break something.Tobias rode beside me and said nothing the entire journey back, because he knew better than to ask.~~~I found Mira in the training yard when I arrived, working with one of the senior warriors, and the first thing I noticed was how different she moved now. Her wolf was fully present in the way her body responded — sharper, more certain, more settled in herself than the woman who had arrived here months ago barely standing. She noticed me the moment I crossed into the ya

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    The woman at the table

    Rowan's POVIf there was a place in the world that was more deserted than a fucking desert, it would be this place. There were no pack markings on any of the posts lining the road, no flags, no territorial symbols of any kind, and the whole place had the feeling of somewhere that had been built to be overlooked rather than found. Small, plain, unremarkable in every direction I looked.The settlement...Tobias stayed back with the horses without me having to say anything because he read the situation the way he always does and found a spot near the tree line where he could watch the road without being obvious about it. I walked through the settlement on my own, counting the doors as I passed them, keeping my pace steady and my face neutral the way I'd trained myself to do in situations where I didn't yet know what I was walking into.Third on the left.I knocked once and the door opened before I even finished the motion, which meant she'd been standing right behind it, waiting.Dara

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    Late night thoughts

    Rowan's POVI read the message three times.The first time I thought I misunderstood it. The second time I felt something cold settle in my chest. The third time I put the radio down and just stood there for a second, staring at nothing.Mira was watching me. I could feel her through the bond, that quiet little pull she does when she's trying to figure me out without asking outright. She wasn't getting anything from my face though. I made sure of that. I wasn't ready to talk about it yet, mostly because I didn't know what I would even say. I didn't fully understand it myself.I found Tobias outside near the east post and told him I needed horses arranged for first light. Just two. No guard detail, no extra riders.He looked at me for a second. "Just the two of you?""Yes."He nodded and that was it. He didn't push, didn't ask where I was going or why I didn't want backup. That's the thing about Tobias. He reads a room better than most people and he knows when a question would be one t

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    The sister

    TOBIAS'S POVHer name was Dara Cade, though that wasn't the name she'd been born with. Her real name was LenaShe'd been on the southern border for four years using her mother's maiden name, which was a clean choice because her mother's maiden name appeared in no Royalfang official document and connected to nothing that anyone running a standard search would think to look for. It was the kind of disappearance that only works if you understand exactly how people look for things, and Dara had grown up in the same house as Rowan, which meant she understood that better than most.I'd known her exact location for three of those four years.I'd found it the way I found most things, through the network of people and information lines I'd been maintaining for fifteen years, and when the location came to me I'd sat with it for a day and then filed it in the category of things I knew that weren't mine to act on, and I'd left it there and I'd been leaving it there every time it came up in my ow

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    The object

    ROWAN'S POVI took it out of my coat the next morning.Mira was sitting across from me at the small table by the window with her tea and her hand resting on her stomach the way it always rested there now, and I put the seal on the table between us and looked at it for a moment before I said anything.It was small. Smaller than people imagine when they hear the word seal, smaller than something that carries this much weight probably should be. Silver, worn smooth in the places where a hand would hold it repeatedly over years of use, with the Royalfang crest worked into the face alongside a secondary mark that belonged to my mother's family line rather than to the crown.Mira looked at it and then looked at me."It's my mother's," I said.She waited."She wore it until the day she died," I said. "It was on her hand at the funeral and I took it off myself and put it in the family vault, and I remember doing it because I remember most things about that day in the specific way you remember

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    The journey home

    MIRA'S POVI stood near the door of the south room while Rowan sat across from Isla at the small table. Tobias was standing behind Rowan, arms folded. No one had asked me to leave, and no one had asked me to stay, so I stayed.Rowan leaned back in his chair and looked at Isla directly. "I'm not acc

    MIRA’S POVThe heavy doors had closed behind Finn, but his voice still seemed to ring in the chamber. My hands were pressed against my stomach, my fingers digging into the fabric of my dress. I could feel my heart hammering against my ribs. Rowan was standing nearby, his shoulder bleeding, but my

    FinnIsla hesitated, her eyes searching mine for a reassurance I wasn’t sure I could give. “What if that wasn't enough? What if he brought in outside Seers? What if he demanded she be examined by neutral parties?”“It wasn't,” I said sharply, cutting her off before the doubt could take root.A heav
