This must be Elspeth, Winter thought, recalling the name from Jax's earlier comment. She had served the Citadel for a long time, and her loyalty was to the Alpha King alone.

The woman’s eyes, the color of slate, flickered over Winter once. It wasn’t a glance; it was a judgment. It was a look that stripped her bare and found her utterly, disgustingly wanting. The hostility was so pure, so potent, it was like a physical chill in the air.

Winter shrank back in her chair

  • Mated to the Alpha King   114 - Real Again

    Ezekiel hadn't considered it that way. "She gave me a chance. Cursed me but left an escape route." "Because she wasn't just angry. She was heartbroken. But she still believed love was powerful enough to overcome hatred." Winter's voice thickened. "That's not revenge. That's hope." Ezekiel stared at Winter. This small woman who'd survived abuse and loss. who'd learned magic in three weeks and bonded with a beast. Who sent a message via bat because she wanted to talk instead of hide. Who saw hope in a revenge curse. "I love you." The words came out before Ezekiel could overthink them. Simple. True. "I don't know if that's too fast or too intense. But the curse is gone and I can feel everything now and what I feel is love. For you. Little Ghost." Winter's breath caught. Her grey eyes went wide. "You love me." "Yes." "Even though we barely know each other. Even though our families destroyed each other. Even though this entire situation is impossible." "Yes." Ezekiel's thumb traced

  • Mated to the Alpha King   113 - Use That Power

    Winter's expression shifted into understanding. "That's why you watched instead of talked. Why you communicated through actions." "Yes." Ezekiel met her eyes directly. "But now I can tell you things. Use actual words instead of grunting commands." "I didn't mind the grunting." Winter's mouth twitched. "It was kind of endearing." Ezekiel's laugh surprised him. The sound came out genuine. "Endearing. That's a word I've never been called." "Get used to it." Winter shifted slightly. "What else is different?" "Everything." Ezekiel focused on cataloging the changes. "My heart actually beats. I can feel temperature properly. Hunger. Thirst. Before the curse, those were just vague signals. Now they're real." "What about emotions?" That question was harder. "Before, emotions were muted. I could intellectually understand that I should feel angry or sad, but the actual feeling was distant. Now everything is immediate. Intense. I'm not sure how to process it all." Winter was quiet for a m

  • Mated to the Alpha King   112 - Let it Happen

    the pain started in Ezekiel's chest. Not the dull ache he'd carried for twenty-two years. Not the cold emptiness where his heart should be. This was sharp. Immediate. Like something inside him was physically cracking apart. His hand dropped from Winter's face. Both palms pressed against his sternum as the fracturing sensation spread outward. Ribs. Lungs. Throat. Every part of him that the curse had touched was suddenly coming undone. "Zeke?" Winter's voice sounded far away. "What's happening?" Ezekiel couldn't answer. His jaw was clenched too tight, teeth grinding together as the curse fought to maintain its hold. Twenty-two years of magical binding didn't want to release. But Morwenna hadn't accounted for her own granddaughter. Hadn't known that the white-haired girl would be born half-wolf, half-witch. Hadn't predicted the mate bond would snap between her cursed victim and her descendant. Hadn't imagined that love might actually form between two people who should have been en

  • Mated to the Alpha King   111 - Curse Shattered

    "No." The question confused him. "You being strong is good. Means you can protect yourself when I'm not there." "Most alphas would hate their mate having independent power." "Not most alphas." Ezekiel's mouth almost twitched into something resembling a smile. "I'm the Alpha King. Strong mate makes me stronger." This time Winter's laugh was genuine. Surprised but real. "That's the most logical thing I've heard since getting here. Everyone keeps acting like I have to choose between being wolf or witch. Like I can't be both." "You're both." Ezekiel stated it like the simple fact it was. "Half and half. That's what makes you unique. Powerful." "Sophia says I need to choose my mother's people. That werewolves only bring death." Winter's fingers twisted together again. "But I don't want to choose. I want both parts of myself. Is that possible?" "With me, yes." Ezekiel's golden eyes held hers. "Don't care about wolf or witch. Only care about you." Winter was crying again. But these t

  • Mated to the Alpha King   110 - All of it

    "And my white hair." Winter's voice was barely audible. "That's why you hated me at first. Because of my grandmother." " Your father told me a white-haired witch killed my mother." Ezekiel forced the words out even though they tasted like ash. "Blamed Morwenna. Made me hate witches. Especially white haired ones." "So when the mate bond snapped to me......" Winter's eyes were wide. Understanding dawning. "I looked exactly like the person you'd been taught to hate. The witch who supposedly destroyed your family." "Yes." The admission hurt. "Wanted to reject you. Push you away. But the bond was too strong. And you were scared and soft and nothing like the monster my father described." Ezekiel's voice dropped. "Watching you broke something in the curse. Made me feel things that shouldn't be possible." Winter was crying now. Silent tears tracking down her cheeks. "This is so messed up." "Yes." "My grandmother cursed you. Your father killed my father. Our families destroyed each othe

  • Mated to the Alpha King   109 - Impressive

    The words hit Ezekiel hard.. She hadn't left. Hadn't taken his offer. Someone had stolen her while he'd been waiting for her to prove she'd rather stay with him than run. (He'd been cruel. Given her an out while secretly hoping she'd refuse it. And when she'd disappeared he'd assumed the worst instead of considering she might have been taken against her will.) "You thought I left you." Winter was looking at him now with something that might have been understanding or pity. "All this time, you thought I chose to go." Ezekiel nodded once. His throat felt too tight for words. "I wouldn't have left." Winter's hands unclenched slightly. "I was scared of you. Terrified, actually. But I wasn't going to run. Not after touching your hand and feeling you touch back. Not after you called me Little Ghost like it was a name that actually meant something." The nickname hung between them. Ezekiel hadn't used it out loud since she'd disappeared. Had thought it constantly but speaking it would ha

    She found him in the northern forge, just as Jax had described. It wasn’t a weapons smithy, but a smaller, private place. The air was hot and thick with the smell of metal and coal smoke. The forge fire burned low, casting the room in a hellish red orange light. He was standing by a quenching barr

    “It’s just a cake, Snow,” Jax sighed. “It’s not going to bite.”As if summoned by the tension, the bond’s hum intensified slightly. Winter’s gaze flickered to the main door. The shadows in the small gap beneath it seemed to shift. He was out there. Listening.She stared at the cake, her stomach twi

    The silence he left behind was louder than a scream. Winter sat frozen on the hard wooden chair, her entire being vibrating with the aftershocks of his presence. Her mind was a kaleidoscope of fractured images: the terrifying intensity of his golden eyes, the shocking heat of his body so close t

    A tremor ran through her, a violent shudder she couldn’t control. She wrapped her arms around herself, her teeth chattering. His eyes narrowed further, a flicker of deep annoyance in their golden depths. Her weakness, her fear, it was like a grating noise, a flaw in the perfect, cold silence of hi
