IRIS’S POV

The world didn’t end with a bang, it ended with the sickening lurch of gravity failing.

The floorboards of the sawmill, rotted by decades of damp and now weakened by the fire, groaned one last time before screaming. I felt Darius’s arm tighten around my waist—a solid, unyielding band of iron—as we plummeted through the dark. The air was thick with the scent of woodsmoke and the copper tang of my own terror.

We hit the lower level hard. Or rather, Darius hit it. He took the brunt of t

  • Moaning For The Enemy: Her Sister's Betrothed Alpha    190

    The mechanical countdown echoed through the smoking courtyard, each second ticking away like a hammer hitting an anvil. Sixty seconds was all we had before the secret of our entire existence was blasted across every human television station and internet feed on the planet. The veil that kept the wolf-born hidden from human weapons would be ripped apart forever."Conrick! Smash the console!" Darius roared, his calm demeanor instantly evaporating into pure Alpha panic.Conrick didn't hesitate. He swung his heavy boot into the side window of the armored SUV, shattering the glass, and reached inside to tear at the dashboard wires. He ripped out bundles of colored plastic and copper, his teeth bared as he slammed his fist into the blinking red screen. The glass cracked, but the automated voice kept counting down with cold, digital indifference."Transmission progress: forty percent," the machine voiced chimed. "Signal encryption locked. Internal backup battery active.""It's a hardwired sa

    IRIS’S POV"Get away from him, Iris."My father’s voice was a frail, trembling thing compared to the thunderous roar still vibrating inside my own ribcage. Alpha Ronan stood at the very edge of the smoking courtyard, his hands trembling and his shoulders hunched deeply under the heavy weight of his dark woolen coat. He looked exactly like a man who had already buried his entire legacy in the dirt. He didn’t look like the ruthless tyrant who had locked my wolf away behind a wall of dark magic for two long decades. He looked small. He looked completely terrified.I didn't step back. My massive silver paws remained planted firmly on Jerome’s chest, the heavy weight of my shifted body pinning the rogue council commander into the sharp gravel. Every single breath I took filled my expanded senses with a rush of data I had never been allowed to process before. I could smell the sharp fear radiating off the surviving enforcers, the sour, bitter tang of my father’s deep shame, and the thick, h

    DARIUS’S POV"Get back to the vehicles, Conrick."The command tore out of my throat as a low, rumbling growl that rattled the heavy air. My eyes never left Jerome. My wolf was screaming at the boundary of my skin, his claws scratching to break through the flesh, completely pushed out of control by the raw scent of Iris’s awakening. The atmosphere was thick with the scent of ozone and burning pine, but beneath it all was the sudden, intoxicating bloom of her true nature. It was vanilla mixed with white lightning, a primal, ancient power that had been buried under a spell for twenty years."You really think you can hold this line alone, rogue?" Jerome mocked, his voice booming over the rumble of his armored trucks. He took another step forward, his enforcers fanning out behind him in a perfect crescent moon formation, their silver-tipped blades catching the harsh glare of the headlights. "The Council of Alphas has already signed your execution order. Look at you, groveling in the dirt f

    IRIS’S POV"Get in the car, Iris."Darius’s voice was a low, gravelly vibration that rattled straight through my bones. He stood by the open door of the black SUV, his large frame silhouetted against the smoldering ruins of my family estate. The morning mist of the pack lands was thick, heavy with the scent of wet pine, burnt timber, and the unmistakable, metallic tang of spilled blood.I didn't move. My fingers tightly gripped the edge of my torn dress, the emerald silk stained with alpine soot and the dark residue of the structural blast we had just survived. My skin was burning from the inside out. The savage, feral pulse of my newly awakened silver wolf was scratching at the surface, her golden light vibrating beneath my skin, desperate to break completely free of the broken remnants of my father's binding spell."We aren't running, Darius," I said, my voice deceptively quiet despite the storm raging in my chest. "Look at what they did. Look at what Jerome's faction did while we w

    IRIS’S POV"Hold on," Darius said, his large hand instantly locking around mine as the floorboards of the nursery began to shake. "This is going to be a very loud closing statement."The world went violently white.The mountain air outside the nursery window didn't just shatter the glass; it ripped the entire panoramic frame out of the stone wall. The shockwave from the high-altitude blast threw us backward into the center of the room, the heavy hand-carved rocking horse splintering into a thousand pieces as the ceiling plaster rained down around our heads like gray snow. The silver laptop on the table went flying, its screen cracking down the center as the blue light of the network feed blinked out into pitch-black darkness."Iris!" Darius’s voice was a raw, primal roar through the mind-link, a desperate current of panic that vibrated straight through my ribs.Before I could even hit the floor, his massive frame was over me. He shielded my body with his broad shoulders, his heavy lea

    IRIS’S POVThe silence that followed the storm was the most dangerous part. I sat on the edge of the antique bed, the silk blanket draped over my shoulders, watching Darius as he moved toward the laptop. My body felt heavy, flooded with a warmth that defied the sub-zero temperatures outside these stone walls, but my mind was already shifting back into the cold, calculated rhythm of the audit.Darius was right. Ivy was watching. She had wanted to see us broken, or perhaps she had wanted to see us turn on each other under the pressure of the countdown. Instead, she had witnessed a total refusal to acknowledge her power."She’s going to move the deadline," I said, my voice sounding steadier than I felt. I stood up, letting the blanket slip as I reached for my clothes. I didn't care about the cameras anymore. If Ivy wanted to look at the daughter she had abandoned, she would see a woman who was no longer afraid of the dark. "She won't wait for the thirty minutes to expire. Not after that.

    IRIS'S POVI was asleep, tangled in my sheets, when the sharp, frantic ringing of the encrypted house phone dragged me into a brutal wakefulness.The sound was wrong—too loud, too urgent and it immediately dissolved the memory of Darius's violent, commanding presence hours earlier.I grabbed the ph

    DARIUS'S POVThe scent of my wolf’s triumph lingered in the sunroom.I had left Iris standing in the white silk, her eyes wide with a mixture of fear and the nascent, dangerous hope that I was willing to risk everything for her. The public, coded claiming was necessary. She needed to know her prote

    Iris POVThe Watchtower. Our place. The crumbling stone structure on the highest hill where, for a year, we were just two nameless, desperate animals. The thought of going there now, after Conrick’s warning, after seeing Venus’s needle-sharp focus, was absolute insanity. It was the last place I sho

    IRIS'S POVI was a ghost.A walking, breathing shell of a woman whose entire existence had been reduced to a single, primal truth: I was claimed.I had showered three times, scrubbed my skin until it was raw, and used up half a bottle of my mother’s expensive, cloyingly sweet rose perfume—the one V
