Mated to the Alpha King 84 - Attached to You
"What are you doing?" Sophia asked. "My father's name isn't here," Winter said. She positioned the chisel against blank rock. "Ronan. He died in the massacre too. He should be remembered." Sophia made a sound that was half-laugh, half sob. "He was a wolf. This wall is for witch victims." "He was killed for loving a witch. For protecting witches. For choosing family over species loyalty." Winter started carving, the chisel scraping against stone. "That makes him a victim of the massacre. His blood doesn't disqualify him from being remembered." She worked slowly, carefully, forming each letter of her father's name. The stone resisted but Winter kept going, using the same stubbornness that had gotten her through seventeen years with Griselda. Behind her, Sophia was crying. Quiet, controlled tears that she probably thought Winter couldn't hear. When Winter finished, the name sat carved among hundreds of others. Ronan Crescent. Not as deep or elegant as the surrounding names, but th

Sophia's expressionn shuttered. "Then you're choosing him over your own people. Over the family he destroyed. Over me." "That's not fair," Winter said. Her hands trembled so she crossed her arms. "I didn't choose this bond. I didn't choose to be half-werewolf. I didn't choose any of it. But I'm here now and I'm learning and I'm trying to understand both sides because maybe, maybe if I can see all of it clearly, I can figure out where I actually belong." "You belong here," Sophia said firmly. "With witches. Your father's blood doesn't define you, Winter. Your magic does. Your grandmother's legacy does. The power you're developing with shadows is witch magic, inherited through my bloodline. That's who you are." But Winter could still feel the mate bond pulsing in her chest. Could still remember running through citadel hallways in a shift that was partial and wrong but undeniably wolf. Her nature wasn't either-or. It was both. Messily, impossibly both. "I want to understand everythi

Winter's hand drifted to her chest, pressing against where the mate bond sat. "Did you?" "No." The word came out flat. Final. "Lyra died of illness. A fever that swept through the palace. But Theron needed an excuse to eliminate a potential threat to his power, and grief makes people believe lies." Sophia's expression hardened. "He started with the obvious targets. Witches who lived in werewolf territories, who'd married wolves, who'd integrated into pack life. He called them traitors and collaborators." "Like my father," Winter said quietly. "Ronan protected me." Sophia's voice cracked slightly. "When the executions started, he hid me. Planned to get me to safety with other surviving witches. We were going to run together, start over somewhere far from Crescent territory." She stopped. Breathed. "Theron found us the night before we were supposed to leave. Killed Ronan in front of me. Would have killed me too, but I was pregnant and managed to escape in the chaos." Winter had hear

The witch children stared at Winter like she was a creature in a menagerie.There were six of them, ranging from maybe five years old to twelve, clustered near the main gathering space where the caves opened into a wider cavern. Natural light filtered through cracks in the ceiling, illuminating moss and mushrooms that grew in careful patterns along the walls. Someone had clearly cultivated them for food.Winter tried to focus on the mushrooms instead of the children's unblinking attention. she'd come here looking for Alice (who'd promised to show her where the witches kept their library of salvaged books), but Alice was nowhere and the children had spotted her immediately"Is it true your hair is white because you're cursed?" the oldest girl asked. Her voice was curious rather than cruel, which somehow made it worse."No," Winter said. Kept her voice gentle because they were children and didn't know better. "It's just... how I was born.""My mother says white hair means bad luck," a y

Levi's eyebrows rose. Alice made a small surprised sound. Olivia's expression flickered between impressed and resentful. Winter focused harder. The shadow sphere elongated, stretching into a tendril that wound around her arm like a living thingIt felt cold but not unpleasant. Like winter air against skin. She guided it across the space between her and the pool, letting it touch the black water and send ripples spreading outward. "Shadow manipulation takes most witches years to learn," Levi said quietly. His voice held genuine awe. "You're doing it after a week." "Maybe it's genetic," Alice offered. "Morwenna was legendary with shadows. It makes sense her granddaughter would have natural affinity." "Or maybe she's been training longer than she claims," Olivia said. But the accusation sounded weaker now. Winter pulled the shadow tendril back and let it dissolve. Her head ached slightly but she felt steadier. More confident. "Believe what you want," Winter said to Olivia. "I can't

They sat together in comfortable silence, girl and beast, while the crystal formations above them scattered light like stars. Winter's legs had gone completely numb under Vex's weight but she didn't care. This felt right. Safe. The first time since arriving at the caves that she'd felt like she belonged somewhere. Footsteps echoed from the tunnel. Vex's head shot up, his body going rigid. A growl built in his chest, low and dangerous. Winter scrambled to her feet and turned toward the tunnel entrance. Levi appeared first, hands raised in a placating gesture. "Easy. Just checking on you." Alice was behind him, looking nervous and curious. and behind Alice, Olivia. The jealous witch wore an expression that was trying for concern but landed closer to vindictive satisfaction. "You've been disappearing for hours every day," Levi said, his gaze moving from Winter to Vex and back. "People were starting to worry." "I'm fine," Winter said. Her hand dropped automatically to Vex's head, f

“Spirits,” he breathed, running a hand through his hair. He walked over, his gaze dropping to the discarded dress. “He, uhh....he cleaned you up?” Winter nodded numbly. “And gave you his shirt.” It wasn’t a question. It was a statement of profound disbelief. “Okay. This is.. new territory.” He lo

Winter stared at him, her mind failing to comprehend. “What?” His gaze dropped pointedly to her blood soaked dress. “The dress. Take it off. It’s..ruined.” He said the last word with a kind of finality, as if passing judgment. The command, so blunt and intimate, sent a fresh wave of panic through

He didn’t take her back through the main door. He carried her to the wall beside the great hearth, to the secret passage he had used before. The stone swung inward, and he stepped into absolute darkness. The air here was old and cold, smelling of deep earth and dust. He didn’t slow down, navigatin

The word hung in the bloody air, a brand seared onto the sudden, ringing silence. ‘Mine’ It wasn’t a promise. It wasn’t a term of endearment. It was a statement of fact, as absolute and final as the death surrounding them. He had declared ownership, and the proof was cooling on Winter’s skin and
