تسجيل الدخول~VARGThe air in the kitchen didn't just feel cold after the door slammed shut, it felt entirely depleted, like a chamber after an explosion.My fingers were still clenched into tight fists at my sides, the thick muscles in my forearms throbbing from the sheer, violent restraint it had taken to keep from wrapping my hands around my own daughter’s throat.My chest rose and fell in heavy, ragged rumbles, the rabid beast in my bloodline roaring against the iron bars of my control.Disrespect. Pure, unyielding disrespect thrown directly into the face of the sovereign, right under my own roof. I had spent decades enforcing absolute compliance throughout the borders of the Iron-Howl Pack, breaking the wills of rogue packs and rival alphas without moving a single finger, yet my own blood had just stood across the central counter and called me a whoring failure to my face.I cut my dark eyes down to the girl trembling against my side.Amaris was completely unraveled. Her small, weightless fr
~AMARISThe sharp, throbbing sting at the crown of my head was all I could focus on. I stood trembling beside Alpha Varg, my knees shaking so badly I thought I would collapse onto the kitchen floor. A thin, warm trickle of blood slid down the back of my neck, marking the exact spot where Ember’s fingers had ripped into my hair just moments before.I couldn't draw a full breath. The air in the space felt thick and suffocating, completely stripped of oxygen by the sheer weight of what had just happened.Just ten minutes ago, everything was quiet.I had walked down the grand stone stairs at dawn, feeling a rare, temporary wave of strength in my veins…a small, stolen moment of peace after the quiet moment Varg and I had shared during the night. The kitchen had been completely empty, bathed in the soft morning light. I had simply wanted to make a quiet pot of herbal tea to soothe the tight pressure in my chest before the rest of the house woke up. I remember standing by the stove, watching
~EMBERThe morning sun didn't bring warmth, it brought a cold, blinding clarity that cut straight across my face like a lash. I woke up with my cheek pressed flat against the silk casing of my pillow, my skin feeling stiff and parched. The tears from the previous day, combined with the hours of violent, uncontrolled crying that had racked my body through the dead darkness of the night, had completely dried on my face.My skin felt tight, stretched over the bones of my cheeks, and my eyelids were so heavy and strained that my eyes felt physically larger, stretched wide by the sheer, unadulterated trauma of what I now knew.I dragged my weight out of the bed, my silk robe sliding off my shoulders as I forced my feet onto the cold floor. When I walked over to the grand vanity and stared at my reflection in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, a bitter, vicious sound escaped my throat.The girl staring back at me looked unrecognizable. My eyes were horribly swollen, puffy and heavily rimmed with
~AMARIS The terrifying memory of the sacred valley still vibrated through the very marrow of my bones, a chaotic storm that my fragile mind was desperately trying to unpack in the sudden, deafening quiet of my bedroom. Just some minutes ago, I had been sitting on that carved stone bench beneath the ancient willow tree, wrapped in a cashmere shawl, watching Ember sort her silver basket of midnight lilies. I had been searching for a single grain of peace, a fragile sanctuary away from the dark, suffocating secrets of this pack house. But the universe had never been merciful to a tragic survivor like me. The sudden, concussive wave of Alpha Varg’s presence dropping from the high ridge had completely shattered my weak, decaying defense lines. The fated bond within my soul, completely triggered by the proximity of my master, had overrode my restraint. Before I could even attempt to mask it, my scent had exploded into that thick, desperate wave of rain and jasmine, a scandalous slick s
~GRAY The heavy mahogany doors of my suite clicked shut with a crisp, final snap that sounded precisely like a trap locking into place.I didn't walk down the grand stone stairs toward the strategy room, and I certainly didn't head toward the lower courtyard to audit the border watch rotations. That little excuse had merely been a necessary piece of stage directions, a graceful way to exit the theater now that my monologue had achieved its desired effect.Instead, I stood perfectly still in the drafty, dimly lit corridor of the western wing, my boots rooted to the floor as I peeped through the small open slit of the door, watching the immediate aftermath of the conversation I had just orchestrated.I could hear the muffled, devastating sound as a jagged sob tore through the quiet of my room, followed by the frantic, breathless gasps of a girl whose entire universe had just been systematically dismantled.She was actively falling apart. She was still sinking into the velvet cushions o
~EMBER My legs gave out completely as I sank onto the edge of his velvet divan, burying my face in my trembling palms. I was a catastrophic mess. My hands were shaking so violently that my nails dug painfully into my own temples, a desperate, physical attempt to ground myself while my entire reality spun out of control. Gray didn't push me away. He didn't scoff at my unraveled state or treat me with a cold, authoritative distance. He simply stepped closer, his presence a silent, anchoring force in the dim room as he waited for the storm inside me to find its words. And then, I began to pour it all out. The words spilled from my throat in a raw, frantic torrent, laced with devastating, breathless gasps that made my chest ache. I narrated everything. I told him about the midnight hours days ago, about how I had spent the night pacing my room in a prison of my own guilt, only to hear those muffled, ecstatic sounds of pure sex and deep groans bleeding through Amaris’s door. I desc
~AmarisHeat rose between my thighs every second I subconsciously took one step back, his gaze burning into my eyes. Sharp as a sword.With the intimidating edges of his face that left me wondering if he was here to fuck me, or watch me suffer.For a second, my gaze dropped to his chest before I c
~Amaris“Ember, I already told you it's the pool. There is no need to say things like that,” I said weakly, moving back.I'll do anything to avoid that conversation completely. But she swam toward me.“We should go out and mingle with hot male wolves so you can find someone to satisfy your ache. H
~AmarisKneeling on the floor, I could still feel the slick dripping down my thighs. That was when I heard footsteps.Someone was approaching. The air felt lighter. Not like when Alpha Varg walks into a room. Ember. I was certain she was the one approaching. I could not afford to let her see me
~Alpha VargOh, that little cub with scent like rain and Jasmine, that pulls at me in ways I hated to admit. Intoxicating. From the very first day she stepped her feet in this house, I recognized it.The way she left me hunting, searching for her like I was a predator hunting down a prey.Her eyes
