Kaelen

I pulled the thick leather strap tight across my chest, locking the heavy brass buckle into place. The cold metal pressed hard against my ribs, but I liked the pressure. It grounded me.

I stood in front of the tall, ornate mirror in my bedroom. I was fully kitted for the freezing journey ahead. I wore thick fur-lined boots, thermal pants, and heavy black combat leather. I was ready to march straight into the Northern Wastes and drag my prize back home.

Selena stepped up behind me. She wa

  • My Ex Sold Me To The Devil   Chapter 141: The King Is Here!!

    LioraI had never seen Ironclaw before.Kaelen never brought me. In all the time I was his, all the time I called myself his wife, he never once took me home to his father’s pack. Our marriage was too cracked for it, maybe, or maybe he was ashamed, or maybe I just wasn’t worth showing off. Back then I didn’t even care. All I cared about in those days was him. Pleasing him. Making a baby for him. Keeping him happy, keeping him looking at me like I was something.If only I had known what he really was. The man I was fated to. The man I married. An absolute bastard, under all that beauty. And his father was probably cut from the same cloth, though I had never met him to say.None of that mattered now. The plan was simple. Find my baby. Find Stiles. Get the three of us out of this place alive.And kill Kaelen, said a voice in my head.My wolf.She had been quiet in me for a long while. She only ever stirred these days when Riven looked at me a certain way, with those molten eyes like he w

    LioraWe stopped early that night. The wind had died down and there was wood for a fire, so the men made camp in a hollow out of the weather.Riven was cooking a rabbit. He was bad at it. He kept turning it the wrong way, so one side burned and the other stayed raw. Stiles sat across the fire and watched him do it and did not say a word, which was worse than if he had.I almost smiled. For a moment it felt normal. Three people and a fire and a bit of food. I had not felt normal in a long time.Then one of Riven’s men came up the slope and went down on one knee by the King.“We’ve found the road, Alpha,” he said. “If we ride hard at first light, we reach Ironclaw by tomorrow night.”The fire kept crackling. Nobody said anything.Tomorrow. My son was in that place. Tomorrow I would stand at the gates of the house that was holding him, and I did not know if I would find him alive, or what Kaelen had done to him, or if I was already too late. My hands started to shake. I pushed them betwe

  • My Ex Sold Me To The Devil   Chapter 138: The Lose Thread

    Dain thought he was holding a sword. He was holding a coal, and he hadn’t felt it start to burn yet.I let the silence sit. Nessa had gone still by the door with her boy against her back, and down in the yard I could hear Kaelen talking low to the horses, close enough to call, far enough not to hear, and Dain stood between me and the stairs with his chest heaving and that terrible hope all over his face.“You’ve got nothing to say now,” he said. “Good. Keep it. Save your pretty lies for him, because I’m going to tell him every word, and then...”“Sit down, Dain.”“...and then we’ll fucking see. I’ll tell him you swapped his son out for some serving-girl’s brat. That you’ve been steering him since the first night. That the hollower he just.. oh Goddess, that he killed a holy man because you told him to.” His voice cracked on it. “He’ll know what you are. He’ll put your head in that sack himself.”“He might.” I sat, myself, on the edge of the cot, and folded my hands, and looked up at h

    “Cloak up, all of you. We go careful, off the main ways, and we do not let one living soul see this face between here and the low town. We finish it tonight. I am done waiting on it.”Kaelen turned to Dain and jerked his chin at the body. “Get rid of that. The head too. Bury it, burn it, I don’t care which, only put it somewhere the thaw won’t hand back.”“Or,” I said.They all looked at me.“Why throw away a respected man’s head,” I said, “while there’s a use still left in it?” I kept my eyes on Kaelen. “This new hollower will run hotter than the last. Younger. Prouder. He may take one look at an Alpha with a stolen pup and decide his conscience, or his King, is worth more to him than your coin. So you take the choice off him before he has it.” I nodded down at the head on the floor. “You set the head of the only other hollower in the north on his table. You say nothing at all. And you let him understand, all on his own, what disobedience costs in this trade now. His silence will fee

    SelenaFor a while Kaelen only stood there with the sword hanging off his fist and the head at his feet, breathing like a man who had run a long way, not yet certain what he’d done.Then it reached him. I watched it land. The blade came down out of his hand and hit the boards, and his eyes went wide and young.“Kaelen” Dain had gone grey, pressed back to the wall, staring at the head. “Kaelen, that’s the fucking hollower. That is the Mother’s own prophet. There’s one of him in all the north, and you’ve taken his head off in an inn over a serving-girl’s story.”“Shut your mouth.”“The King will...”“I said shut it!” Kaelen rounded on him, and his aura came off him ugly and hot. “Set your heart straight, Dain, or I will set it straight for you and leave two heads on this floor tonight. Do you hear me.”Dain shut it.Then Kaelen came apart. That is what powerful men do when the ground goes out from under them, they come apart loud and break everything they can reach. He put his fist thro

    LioraEight months pregnant!I chuckled, tracing the tight, swollen curve of my belly. I raised my chin and looked at myself in the rearview mirror, a massive smile spreading across my cheeks. I was finally giving an heir to my mate. I was finally going to be a true Luna for the Alpha. Kaelen was

    LioraI woke up in a bed.That sounds like the smallest, most unremarkable thing. But after three years of a husband who monitored my pillow count and two weeks on a clinic cot with straps on my wrists, the weight of a real mattress beneath me — thick and warm and clean — felt so foreign it trigger

    KaelenThe jagged tracks of the carriage wheels were permanently gouged into the mud.I stood at the edge of the pack square, staring down at the deep ruts left behind by those demonic horses. The freezing wind bit at my face, but I couldn't feel it. I couldn't feel my fingers. All I could feel was

    ‘Mine.’The single word slammed into my chest like a physical blow.When Kaelen rejected me, just moments ago, the severing of our bond felt like a rusted blade dragging through my soul, leaving me hollowed out and dying. Typical werewolf reprisal to a severed bond. But this? This was a supernova.
