author povNathan lay next to Katia, watching her sleep and thinking about the last week. She had not come back from near death the same. She and Selene had come back less emotionally damaged. They still had physical and emotional trauma, but it was different. Katia no longer acted like a spoiled ch
"I heard that Dalia and you fought, and she kicked your as-." Nathan leaned around and planted a kiss on the side of her mouth before she could finish her sentence."I am sure that you heard that story from my sister, as she bragged to you about it. Honestly, though, she and I have had several physi
My black paws pounded against the earth, kicking up moss and broken twigs as I wove through the dense undergrowth of yet another unfamiliar forest. Shadows clung to every tree like mourners, their limbs twisted and charred from fires. The rot, ash, and blood stench lingered as a pungent reminder of
Apologies tumbled from Nathan and Lorn’s mouths, but I barely heard them. My attention had already drifted toward the private room where Agnes lay. I reached out across our link, a gentle nudge of comfort, to ensure she was still resting peacefully.She was. Her dreams were soft, muted by exhaustion
The alphas’ office always felt like a fortress—stone walls adorned with battle relics, the scent of aged leather, and the underlying tension of dominance that never fully faded, even among allies.
