I heard a sharp knock on my door and slowly opened my eyes. My head throbbed. Groaning, I reached for the clock on my bedside table. 5:45 a.m. Who would dare wake me up at this ungodly hour? I dragged myself out of bed, every step heavy, and yanked the door open. Jimmy, my personal servant, stood there trembling like a leaf. His hands clutched something tightly against his chest. "How dare you disrupt my sleep?" I snapped, or at least I tried to. My voice came out more like a tired drawl than the threatening growl I had intended. Jimmy swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing. "Alpha Prince... there are six missed calls for you here," he whispered, holding out the emergency phone like it was a cursed object. I blinked at him. "That’s the emergency landline," I muttered, trying to piece it together. "Who’s calling me on that?" "Yes, Alpha Prince." Jimmy’s hands shook. "It’s your girlfriend. She… she couldn’t reach you on your mobile so she proceeded to call this line." For a moment, all I heard was the blood rushing in my ears. My fists clenched, nails biting into my palms. I snatched the phone from him and shoved the door closed with my foot. Thirty-one missed calls. Twelve voicemails. Four texts. Julie. I opened her messages. All the same words: > “Baby, are you okay? I’m worried…” “Call me when you get this…” “Why aren’t you calling me? I’ve been up all night thinking about you…” I felt my jaw tighten, my teeth grinding. It took every shred of control not to throw the phone across the room. “How am I supposed to be mated to a clingy, psychotic girl like Julie?” I muttered under my breath. Still, I forced my fingers to type. > “Hey Julie, I’m fine. I’ve just been busy so stop blowing up my phone and take a breath. I’ll see you in school.” The message was polite — far more polite than the words raging in my head. But I wasn’t about to start this over the phone. Jimmy was still at my door when I opened it again. His head bowed instantly. “Anything else, Alpha Prince?” he asked quietly. “No. Leave,” I said with a sharp flick of my wrist. He bolted down the hall like a shadow disappearing into the dark. I pressed my fingers to my temples. Sleep was impossible now. I slipped into a loose singlet and shorts and stepped outside for a run. The morning air was cold and damp, brushing against my skin like a whisper. My heart steadied with each stride. The breeze in my hair was a small mercy, cooling the storm in my chest. For a little while, the world was just me, my breath, and the path ahead. By the time I returned, dawn had fully broken. I dressed quickly, grabbed my car keys, and left without bothering to visit Reuben’s and May’s chambers. Timothy, their perfect little heir, could handle the greetings. They wouldn’t notice my absence anyway. Inside my head, a low growl echoed. “You’re not going to reject our mate today, are you?” Zed, my wolf, rumbled in frustration. “Of course I’d reject her,” I said aloud, gripping the steering wheel tighter. “Don’t worry, Zed. We’ll find a better mate.” “Certainly not Julie,” he snapped. “I dislike her, and you know you do too.” “I need Julie’s rank and strength if I want to be the next Alpha,” I muttered. “Please, understand this…” Zed growled, but fell silent. ****** When I arrived at school, Terry and Lax were waiting at my usual spot. “Dude, you vanished yesterday!” Terry called, flashing a grin as we did our signature handshake. “Yeah, bro,” Lax chuckled. “Was your mate that bad?” Their laughter grated against my nerves. “I’m not in the mood, guys,” I muttered, pushing past them — and then I stopped dead. That feeling. Heat surged under my skin. My pulse roared in my ears. My breath hitched. Every nerve in my body screamed the same thing: She’s here. My mate. I turned sharply, scanning the parking lot like a predator on the hunt. And then I saw her. Timothy’s car rolled to a stop, and the perfect golden boy himself stepped out. He walked to the passenger side and opened the door. Out she came. The girl whose scent had haunted me since last night. She stepped out slowly, her smile soft, her eyes focused on Timothy. My heart lurched painfully. My wolf growled so loud inside me it nearly escaped my throat. Timothy. He had everything — power, favor, attention — and now he wanted my mate too? “Damn!” Terry muttered under his breath. “Are they mates?” “No!” I barked, the sound cutting through the morning air before I could stop it. Both Terry and Lax stared at me, shocked. I clenched my fists so hard my knuckles whitened. My nails dug into my palms. She wasn’t Timothy’s. She was mine. And I would not let him take her.

Mine to keep, mine to break 184. Wardens
Nalini The howl did not fade the way ordinary sounds do.It sank into the bones of the land and stayed there, vibrating beneath my feet like a second heartbeat. The pack outside had gone silent—no whispers, no shifting, no nervous laughter. Even the wind seemed to hesitate, unsure whether it was allowed to move.Myron was the first to react. He rose in one smooth motion, already half-shifted, claws flashing briefly before he forced them back. His instinct was raw, unfiltered—protect, fight, destroy whatever dared to reach for me.Timothy didn’t move at all. That was more unsettling. His stillness was the kind born of calculation, of a prince who had learned that panic killed faster than blades. But his eyes… his eyes were locked on me, searching my face as if the answers might be written there.“I didn’t call it,” I said hoarsely, before either of them could accuse me with silence. “I swear to you. I didn’t even know something like that existed.”“We know,” Timothy said quietly. “The
Mine to keep, mine to break 183. Tri-bond
Nalini Leaving the council’s territory did not feel like freedom.It felt like the quiet before a storm decides where to strike.The forest thickened as Alpha Thane led me deeper into his lands, ancient trees closing around us like sentinels that had seen empires rise and rot. The air smelled different here—pine, damp earth, iron-rich stone. Power lived in this place, not loud or oppressive, but old and watchful.My father walked ahead of me in his wolfskin cloak, broad shoulders rigid, as if holding back words that had waited years to be spoken. The guards flanked us at a respectful distance. Not jailers. Not escorts. Witnesses.I wrapped my arms around myself, not from cold, but from the ache settling deep in my chest.The bonds were… restless.Myron’s presence flickered at the edge of my mind—angry, pacing, like a caged flame. Timothy felt farther away, but steady, his emotions carefully leashed, though I could sense the strain in him. Kael—Kael was different.There was no clear
Mine to keep, mine to break 182. The weight of what comes after
Nalini The world does not end when a prophecy is revealed.That was the first lie I had believed.Instead, it keeps breathing. It keeps arguing. It keeps sharpening its knives.The council chamber was louder than I’d ever heard it—voices crashing into one another, elders standing, others pacing, some outright shouting as if volume could undo what the Moon Goddess herself had spoken. I sat very still between Myron and Timothy, my body aching in places I didn’t yet understand, my wolf curled tight inside me like she was bracing for impact.Kael stood a few steps away, unmoving. He didn’t argue. He didn’t bow. He didn’t look impressed or afraid. He watched the room like a man who had already survived worse than this.I envied him.“This is unprecedented,” one councilor snapped, slamming his palm against the stone table. “A tri-bond violates every ancestral statute—”“Your statutes,” another elder cut in bitterly, “were written after the last great fracture. Perhaps this is how it heals.
Mine to keep, mine to break 181. Boundaries
Nalini The silence after my words was not empty. It was listening.I felt it first through my feet—an answering pulse beneath the stone circle, like a heartbeat waking from a long sleep. The sigils carved into the ground brightened, lines of silver-blue light crawling outward, ignoring the council’s careful boundaries. Someone shouted. Someone else swore under their breath. The elder who had spoken to me took an unconscious step back.Good.For once, they were reacting to me.“You overstep,” another councilor snapped, his voice sharp with panic poorly disguised as authority. “This is sacred ground.”“So am I,” I replied, surprised by how steady my voice sounded. “Or didn’t the Goddess make that clear enough?”Myron moved closer, not touching me, but near enough that the heat of him steadied my racing pulse. Timothy mirrored him on my other side, jaw tight, eyes burning. And then there was the third pull—subtle but insistent—threading through my spine like a hum just below hearing.Th
Mine to keep, mine to break 180. The weight of becoming
Nalini The bow of the old guard didn’t feel like victory.It felt like a line being drawn.The forest was still bent around us, branches lowered as though the land itself had chosen a side. I could feel it—roots humming beneath my feet, ancient and awake. Not answering me exactly, but listening. Watching. Measuring.Power like that doesn’t bow easily. And it never bows without demanding payment later.“Enough,” I said finally, my voice carrying farther than it should have. The echo startled even me. “Leave. Before the land decides you no longer belong here.”The guard in the broken crescent hesitated. For a heartbeat, I thought he might challenge me. Instead, he pressed his fist to his chest in a formal salute—older than the council, older than packs—and rose.“As the vessel commands,” he said.That word again.They retreated into the trees, armor dissolving into shadow until the forest swallowed them whole. The moment they were gone, the pressure snapped loose all at once.I sagged.
Mine to keep, mine to break 179. Rebellion
Nalini The answer came faster than I was ready for.The first arrow shattered against the warded window, exploding into blue sparks that screamed like torn metal. The sound punched straight through my chest, yanking my wolf fully to the surface. Power rippled out of me without permission—raw, instinctive, protective—and the stone beneath our feet groaned as if it recognized me.“They’re not here to arrest,” Kael said grimly, already moving. “Those tips are spell-forged.”“To kill,” Myron finished, his voice darkening as his canines lengthened.Timothy didn’t speak. He reached for me instead, his fingers brushing my wrist, grounding me just as the third bond flared hot and sharp, threading something ancient through my veins.Eryx turned toward the door, calm in the middle of chaos. “They will not stop,” he said. “The council believes fear will restore order.”“Fear never restores anything,” I said, surprising myself with how steady my voice sounded. “It only breaks it further.”The do

Myron I don’t remember breathing as I carried Nalini in my arms.One second she was smiling at me under the warm glow of the street lanterns, her fingers still curled in mine from when I’d finally confessed the truth I’d buried in my chest for months…The next second her body had gone rigid—her br

Nalini I had not planned to stay long.That was the lie I told myself as I stepped onto the familiar gravel path leading to the house that had never truly been mine. The air around it still smelled the same—old pine, damp earth, and something sour beneath it, like resentment that had soaked too de

Myron I didn’t sleep.I couldn’t.Even with Nalini breathing softly just a few steps away from me, curled beneath the white duvet in my penthouse bedroom, my mind refused to settle. Every few minutes I found myself standing, pacing, sitting, then pacing again—like a wolf trapped in a cage made of

Myron I had always known danger wore a hundred faces, but I had never imagined one of them would be fear sitting quietly in Nalini’s eyes.She told me everything in a rush at first, words tripping over themselves, her hands clenched in the fabric of my shirt as if letting go would send her tumblin
