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

Ezekiel didn’t pause. Rasmus was still collapsing, his life gushing out onto the flagstones, when the King turned to the other two. They had just managed to overwhelm Jax, one holding him while the other raised a sword for a final blow. They froze, their faces masks of pure, incredulous terror. E

“Just enjoying the fine afternoon, Beta,” Rasmus said, his voice oozing false deference. “Imagine our surprise at finding such a rare flower blooming in our dreary garden.” His pale eyes fixed on Winter, his gaze insolent and slimy. “Your post is on the eastern wall, Rasmus,” Jax said, his voice d

He opened his mouth, then closed it, as if words had completely failed him. His gaze dropped to where her small hands were clenched in the fabric of his black tunic, her knuckles white. “You’re... you’re hurt,” she whispered, her voice a ragged, trembling thread of sound. His gaze snapped back to

“A drink won’t be enough,” Jax muttered, staring at the three perfect droplets of blood on the stone floor. “I’m going to need the whole barrel.” He ran a hand over his face, his expression one of a man who had been pushed far beyond the limits of his pay grade. “And a new pair of trousers for th
