LOGIN~GRAYI was halfway down the eastern corridor when I saw her.A woman I had never seen before was walking toward me from the direction of the Alpha's wing.I slowed.My brows pulled together, my steps slowing instantly as I watched her pass.She carried a worn leather bag against her side, her clothes unlike anything the women of Iron-Howl usually wore. The long, layered fabric, the strange markings embroidered around the sleeves, the small collection of ornaments around her neck... everything about her looked completely foreign.A spiritual healer.She looked strongly like one of them.I had heard that some packs still relied on them. But that wasn't what bothered me at that moment.What really bothered me was … What was one doing here? More importantly….Why was she coming from his wing?I turned my head slightly as she continued down the corridor. My instincts immediately sharpened.Something had happened. Definitely.I just didn't know what it was.I continued toward the staircase,
~AMARISFor several seconds after the healer finished speaking, I couldn't move.I couldn't even breathe properly.The room had fallen into a silence so complete that I could hear a pin from a distance.The bond had kept me alive. Those words kept repeating inside my head, colliding with every terrible thing I had believed since I first learned about my illness.It's the reason I'm alive.Not the reason I was dying.Not slowly destroyed me.I looked at my hands.They were trembling.I had spent so much time believing that every passing day brought me closer to the end. I had watched my body grow weaker, endured the headaches, the exhaustion, the moments when even breathing felt like work, and convinced myself that there was nothing left to do except make whatever time remained meaningful.And now someone was telling me that the very thing I had feared might be killing me had been holding me here all along.My eyes burned.I looked toward Varg. He was still standing exactly where he h
~AMARISBy the time the healer arrived, the sun had already begun its slow descent toward the western mountains.I had spent most of the afternoon waiting.Waiting had never been something I was good at, but that day it felt almost unbearable. Every passing minute seemed to stretch the uncertainty inside me even further, especially because I had no idea what answer I was hoping for.Part of me wanted the healer to tell me that I had been overthinking everything.That there was a perfectly ordinary explanation for what had been happening to my body.That the strange relief I experienced whenever Varg touched me was nothing more than coincidence.Another part of me was terrified that she would tell me the exact opposite.That something was terribly wrong.I sat near the tall windows of the Alpha's private sitting room, watching the last traces of sunlight spill across the floor. My fingers were intertwined tightly in my lap, and every few moments, I found myself glancing toward the door
~AMARISMy lips parted, but nothing came out.Varg remained completely still across the table, waiting.The morning breeze moved gently through the terrace, stirring the loose strands of my hair. Somewhere beyond the railing, I could hear birds calling from the trees, and farther away, the faint sounds of the Pack beginning another day.Everything around us felt strangely peaceful.And yet I felt like I was sitting on the edge of something dangerous.“I…”The word escaped weakly before disappearing.Varg's eyes remained fixed on me.“You said you needed to tell me something.”“I know.”“Then tell me.”I swallowed.My fingers tightened around the hem of my skirt beneath the table.I thought I could explain what I had discovered without making it sound ridiculous.But now that I was sitting across from him, everything seemed tangled.Before I could try again, footsteps approached.A maid appeared from the terrace entrance carrying something carefully in both hands.She stopped beside ou
~VARG My eyes opened slowly to the dim light of the room. The weather was chilling against my skin, the sun barely rising.I sat up on the bed. And for a few seconds, I remained still, letting the last traces of sleep leave me.But then I tilted to my left to look at my sleeping beauty. That was when I noticed something very unusual.Distance.I remembered pulling her into my arms before succumbing to exhaustion. I remembered kissing her forehead as her warm body collapsed in my chest. But now she lay on the other side of the bed, faced at the wall, leaving a noticeable space between us.My brows drew together.I studied her sleeping frame for a moment, wondering what had gone wrong in the night. She looked peaceful now, though something about the distance unsettled me more than I wanted to admit.My shoulders dropped slightly as I leaned over her and pressed a brief kiss to her cheek before getting out of bed.The moment my feet touched the floor, I felt strangely energized. Perha
~AMARIS That night, my mind refused to quiet. I hadn't gotten another chance to speak with Willow after she left earlier that day, and without her, I had no one to help me make sense of the questions that had been piling up in my head. What should have been a hopeful discovery had somehow left me more unsettled than before. I lay awake in the crook of Varg's arm in the darkness, staring at the ceiling, my head on his chest. Varg was asleep beside me, his breathing deep and steady. Each slow breath vibrated faintly through the silence, completely at odds with the chaos inside my head. I envied him. How easily he could surrender to sleep while I remained trapped inside my own thoughts. My fingers tightened around the edge of the blanket. What had happened earlier kept returning to me, not as a comforting miracle, but as a question I couldn't answer. Why? Why was this happening to me? I had spent so long believing that Silver Decay was slowly taking everything from me. The pai
~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
~Amaris“I- I…”I couldn't find the right words to deny. Her gaze pierced through me, the air between us suddenly felt thinner. My brain moved fast, too fast, shirking through different things to say. “I was just lost in thought,” the words slipped out of my mouth.Ember's face softened slightly
~AmarisAs I lay on the bed again, everything that had happened replayed in my head like something I couldn’t control. The betrayal that led me here. The scent…that heavy, frostbitten pine that seemed to have claimed the very air of my room. The shadow. The hunger that left its mark on my pussy, li
~AmarisI had control over nothing…not the heat rushing between my thighs. Not the slick dripping out of my pussy. Not the desire simmering underneath my skin that left me gasping for breath.And definitely not the man who held me against the wall like I was a feather, watching me burn in his stare
