She sat up, her heart pounding.

the room was silent. Empty. But the feeling was back. Stronger this time. The hum of the bond was a distinct thrum in her blood, a resonant frequency that made the hairs on her arms stand up.

He was close.

She slid off the high bed, her bare feet silent on the cold stone. She was driven by an instinct she didn’t understand, a moth like pull toward a terrifying flame. She crept out of the bedchamber and into the main sitting area. The room was a vast cavern of

  • Mated to the Alpha King   124 - The Witch Girl

    The attack came on the second night.Winter was asleep when Jax burst through the door. No knock. No warning. Just sudden noise and Ezekiel rolling out of bed already halfway shifted."We need to leave." Jax's face was grim in the torchlight he carried. "Now. They're coming from three directions."Winter's brain struggled to catch up. She'd been dreaming about shadows and white hair and her father's face. "Who's coming?""Everyone." Jax started grabbing supplies from around the room. Weapons. A pack. "Griselda sent word to every disgruntled pack within two hundred miles. Told them the Alpha King was compromised by witch magic. That killing you would break the spell and restore him."Ezekiel's shift reversed. His voice came out rough. "How many?""At least forty wolves. Maybe more." Jax threw the pack at Ezekiel. "And that's just the ones I counted. There could be others circling."Winter's hands shook as she pulled on her boots. Her shoulder still ached from the fight with Rasmus but

  • Mated to the Alpha King   123 - Hostile Alphas

    Winter woke to voices arguing. Her shoulder throbbed and her mouth tasted like old copper. The room was darker than before. Evening probably, based on the dim light filtering through the single window. Ezekiel wasn't in bed. He was standing near the door speaking in low tones with Jax. Both looked tense. Winter sat up slowly. Vex raised his head from the corner and made a questioning sound. The movement caught Ezekiel's attention. "You're awake." He crossed the room in three strides. "How do you feel?" "Like I fought a wolf and barely won." Winter touched her bandaged shoulder experimentally. "What's happening?" Jax answered before Ezekiel could. "Rasmus and about fifteen wolves left. Packed up and headed east toward the minor territories." "Because of me." Winter's stomach sank. "Because they're cowards who can't adapt to change," Ezekiel corrected. "Good riddance." "Fifteen wolves is a significant loss," Jax said carefully. "And they're spreading word to other packs. About t

  • Mated to the Alpha King   122 - Thinking Too Loud

    Jax pushed through the crowd with a first aid kit. He went straight to Winter and started examining her shoulder without asking permission. "Deep but not terrible. You'll need stitches." "Later." Winter was watching the crowd. Trying to gauge their reaction. "Now." Jax's tone left no room for argument. "Before you bleed all over the courtyard and pass out dramatically." Ezekiel moved closer to Winter. His hand found the small of her back. The touch was possessive but also grounding. "Let Jax work. I'll watch them." Winter nodded and let Jax guide her toward a bench near the gate. Vex followed and settled at her feet. The beast's presence was comforting. Jax cleaned the wound with quick efficient movements. "Rasmus fights dirty. Going for the throat on a first strike is excessive." "He wanted to prove I was weak." Winter hissed as Jax applied antiseptic. "Did I prove otherwise?" "You proved you're dangerous." Jax started stitching. "Whether that makes them respect you or fear yo

  • Mated to the Alpha King   121 - Not Luck

    Rasmus recovered fast. He feinted left then went right. Winter's shadows moved to intercept but he was already past them. His clawed hand caught her shoulder and spun her around. Pain bloomed hot and immediate. Winter gasped and reacted without thinking. Shadows exploded outward from her body in all directions. Rasmus was thrown back. He hit the ground and rolled, coming up in a crouch. Blood dripped from his arm where the shadow explosion had caught him. They stared at each other across the courtyard. Both breathing hard. Both bleeding. "Not bad for a witch." Rasmus's grin was all teeth. "But you're still just playing with darkness. I'm a warrior." He shifted fully this time. The transformation was brutal. Bones breaking and reforming. Skin splitting to make room for fur. Within seconds, Rasmus stood on four legs, a massive grey wolf with yellow eyes fixed on Winter. The crowd's energy spiked. This was what they wanted. A real fight between wolf and witch. Winter felt her own

  • Mated to the Alpha King   120 - Scared?

    Rasmus didn't attack immediately. That surprised Winter. She'd expected violence the moment Ezekiel challenged the pack's authority. Instead, Rasmus circled them slowly, his eyes calculating."You say she fights at your side," Rasmus said. His voice carried to the watching crowd. "Prove it. Let's see what this witch can actually do."Ezekiel's growl vibrated through Winter's hand. "This isn't a performance.""No. It's a test." Rasmus stopped circling. "You claim she's powerful enough to stand beside the Alpha King. Show us. Or admit you're keeping her for softer reasons and we all know you've gone weak."The crowd's energy shifted again. Winter could feel their attention sharpening. They wanted to see blood. Wanted proof that she was worth the disruption her presence caused."Don't." Ezekiel's voice had gone quiet. The dangerous kind of quiet. "Don't push this.""I'm not pushing anything. I'm asking a reasonable question." Rasmus's smile didn't reach his eyes. "If she's truly your eq

  • Mated to the Alpha King   119 - Hostile

    The ravine opened into a small clearing. Jax was there with maybe a dozen wolves in human form. They looked ready for battle. Weapons drawn. Expressions hostile. Jax's face flooded with relief when he saw Ezekiel. "Thank fuck. We felt the wards break and thought--" He cut off when Winter emerged behind Ezekiel. "You found her." "She's coming back with us." Ezekiel's tone brooked no argument. One of the wolves stepped forward. Rasmus, Winter remembered from brief glimpses at the citadel. His expression was ugly. "The witch girl? You're bringing the witch girl back to the citadel?" "She's my mate." Ezekiel's voice had dropped into that dangerous register. "And she's half-wolf. Watch your tone." "Half-witch is still witch." Rasmus spat on the ground. "We don't allow magic in our territory. It's law." "Then the law changes." Ezekiel moved to stand slightly in front of Winter. "She stays. Anyone who objects can challenge me for the position." Rasmus's hands clenched but he didn't mo

    [Crescent Citadel, West Wing Garden, Late Autumn Afternoon, Three Days After the Storm]Winter had been walking the library garden for nearly an hour, her fingers trailing over the rough bark of the gnarled trees, her breath misting faintly in the cooling air.

    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

  • Mated to the Alpha King   14 - Unexpected

    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
