Moon-Marked and Mated Chapter 9
Raithe The guest cabin was nicer than Raithe expected—modern, spacious, smelling faintly of cedar and clean linens. Silver Shadow hospitality was no joke. Dax shut the door behind them and threw himself onto one of the couches with a grunt. “Alright,” he said, stretching his legs out, “are you going to tell me what the hell that was, or do I need to start guessing?” Raithe pretended not to hear him. He walked the length of the room, fingertips brushing the window frame as he looked out over the pack grounds. Wolves moved back and forth carrying party supplies, decorations, food crates. A buzz of life and anticipation. Ainsley’s scent still clung to the hallway behind them like a soft echo he couldn’t shake. Dax cleared his throat dramatically. “Okay. I’ll start guessing.” Raithe closed his eyes. “Don’t.” “Was it her voice? Her face? Her hair? Her—” “Dax.” Dax grinned, hands raised. “Just trying to help.” Raithe turned away from the window, irritation simmering under his sk
Moon-Marked and Mated Chapter 8
Ainsley I had no reason to linger in the hallway outside Dad’s office. None. Zero. Absolutely no reason. And yet… there I was. Holding a tray of water pitchers and glasses I’d already delivered ten minutes ago, pretending I still had a task that required me to stand in the exact spot where Alpha Raithe would have to pass. My wolf sat coiled inside me, ears pricked sharply toward the office door like she was waiting for something—someone. You’re being weird, I whispered internally. She ignored me, which only made my nerves buzz more. The muffled rumble of voices drifted through the door—Dad’s steady tone and Raithe’s deeper, rougher one—words I couldn’t make out but that echoed with tension. Blood Moon wolves carried a certain weight everywhere they went, but Raithe? His presence alone had made the packhouse feel smaller, as if the walls bowed inward when he walked past. And every time he’d glanced my way—even briefly—my wolf had jolted in my chest like she’d been caught d
Moon-Marked and Mated CHAPTER 7
Raithe The clearing bustled with life around him—voices, footsteps, the faint hum of excitement. But Raithe felt none of it. His senses were narrowed, sharpened, pointed like an arrow at the lingering echo of something he still refused to name. He forced his shoulders back as Alpha Thorn stepped forward, radiating steadiness and warmth that made the air feel… lighter. A sharp contrast to the heavy, storm-charged tension that clung to Raithe like a second skin. “Alpha Thorn,” Raithe greeted, gripping the older wolf’s forearm. “Alpha Raithe,” Thorn returned, voice full of genuine welcome. “Your presence is appreciated. Many are looking forward to meeting you and your pack.” Raithe doubted that—Blood Moon’s reputation usually sent wolves scrambling in the opposite direction—but he let the politeness stand. He released Thorn’s arm, nodding slightly. Daxon, standing just behind him, offered the Silver Shadow Alpha a respectful dip of his head. The Silver Shadow warriors mirrored it,
Moon-Marked and Mated CHAPTER 6
Two days until my eighteenth birthday. Two days until the mate bond either changed my life forever… or shattered every plan I’d dared to make. And my wolf was acting weird about it. Not excited. Not nervous. Just… alert. Too alert. “Can you stop pacing?” my brother Kieran groaned from the couch, arms folded behind his head. “You’re making the floorboards anxious.” I shot him a glare. “I’m not pacing.” “You’ve done the same loop around the dining table eight times,” he said, counting off on his fingers. “Actually nine. Should I start charging you?” I opened my mouth to argue, but my wolf surged restlessly again, pacing under my skin like she could hear something neither of us understood. What is it? But she only huffed, attention stretched toward the window like she was trying to scent the wind through the glass. Before I could press her further, Mum swept into the room, hands full of last-minute decorations and a look that meant she expected everyone to be helpful right n
Moon-Marked and Mated CHAPTER 5
Raithe The moment his SUV rolled across the border into Silver Shadow territory, Raithe felt the familiar shift of dominance—his wolf prowling just beneath his skin, testing every scent, every sound. Calm. He pushed the command inward, but his wolf only snarled back. Two days. Two days until the girl—the Alpha’s daughter—turned eighteen. The mate-seeking celebration that every unmated wolf on the continent seemed eager to attend would begin tomorrow night, then he would know if she was here, his salvation from the growing madness. Or maybe she wasn’t and he would be cursed to loose himself to the madness that was threatening to take over more and more every day. He hadn’t come for the party. He’d come for survival. The Blood Moon Pack was fraying under the strain of his worsening temper, and elders whispered that he was slipping toward the madness that claimed Alphas who went too long without their mate. He tried to ignore the murmurs, the fear in his warriors’ eyes, the weight
Moon-Marked and Mated CHAPTER 4
Ainsley The house smelled like pine cleaner, stress, and far too many baked goods. “Don’t you dare touch that,” Mom warned as I reached toward a cooling tray of lemon tarts. I froze, hand suspended midair. “I was just checking one.” “You were about to eat three,” she said, shooing me away. “Maybe.” Kieran laughed from where he was stringing lights across the entryway. “She’s stress-eating. Honestly, same.” I shot him a glare. “I’m not stressed.” My wolf snorted. Liar. I mentally shoved her back—though it felt like trying to push fog uphill. She’d been restless all morning. Last night too. She wouldn’t settle, shifting and pacing inside me like she was searching for something. Or someone. The closer we got to the party, the stronger the agitation became. It wasn’t nerves. It wasn’t fear. It was… something else. Something that made the hair on my arms lift at random moments as if the wind carried a scent I couldn’t quite detect yet. Mom bustled past me with her list—her
