Heat

Veyra POV

I straddle his hips and press down, feeling the heat of him through what little fabric separates us. He groans, the sound ragged and low, and his head tips back into the pillow as if just having me this close hurts.

His hands slide beneath the thin shirt I’m wearing, fingers splayed wide as they glide over my back, holding me to him like he thinks I’ll vanish if he lets go. I press kisses to his jaw, down his throat, tasting the salt of his sweat and the sharp tang of blood that still lingers from his wounds. His chest shudders beneath me when I bite his neck lightly, and I feel the exact second his wolf rises fully, pushing to the surface with a growl that vibrates against my lips.

“You came back,” he rasps. His voice is hoarse, like it hurts to speak. “I thought I’d lost you. I thought you were dead.”

I pull back just enough to meet his eyes. “You didn’t lose me. I found my way back.”

His hands grip my hips, pulling me down again until the friction between us makes me gasp

  • Rejected And Disowned Now Claimed By Four Ruthless Alphas   Her Punishment

    Maddox POVShe’s still standing there, breath heaving, her eyes rimmed with red but burning bright. There’s blood smeared across her fingers, her chest rising and falling like she’s been holding herself back from tearing him apart for far too long. And Sethen, he’s on the floor, barely moving, more a heap of cloth and trembling limbs than the proud Alpha he pretended to be for years.I look at her. Not the girl who used to flinch when her name was called, not the fighter from the trials who kept holding back. This is someone else now. Someone made whole by fury and fire and the unspoken grief that’s been festering in her chest since the day she realized she was never going to be enough for him.“What do you want, Veyra?” I ask, and my voice feels too loud in the sudden silence.She doesn’t answer right away. Her lips part, then press together again. Her gaze moves from me to the others, then slowly drops to the man crumpled on the stone floor. She studies him like she’s trying to deci

  • Rejected And Disowned Now Claimed By Four Ruthless Alphas   Hurting Him

    Veyra POVHe’s pinned so hard against the wall that his spine is trembling beneath the weight of my magic, and still it doesn’t feel like enough. I can see it in his eyes, the confusion that flickers there first, followed quickly by disbelief, then a crawling horror that settles in his expression as he realizes I’m not a ghost. I’m not a figment. I’m real. I’m alive. And I’m angry.I step forward, never breaking my gaze from his face. He’s breathing like a trapped animal, shallow and fast, but his body is locked tight by the invisible force of my magic wrapping around him like steel. My blood pulses in my ears, a steady roar I can’t quiet, not when everything inside me is spiraling.I should be shaking. I should be unraveling, undone by the weight of this moment, but I’m not. I feel stronger than I ever have. Like I’m not just Veyra anymore, not just the girl who used to beg this man for approval. I’m the storm he tried to bottle, the fury he tried to tame. And now I’ve broken free.I

  • Rejected And Disowned Now Claimed By Four Ruthless Alphas   Her Entrance

    Dagen’s POVI hate this. I hate every second of it. The way he smiles like the war is over. Like we handed him a victory he didn’t earn. He leans back in his chair, completely at ease now, as if everything that ever haunted him is finally gone.“I knew she’d refuse to hand the Alpha title to Kieran,” he says lazily. “And the thing is, if she’d agreed to it, maybe Kieran would’ve kept her as his mate. But no, she had to fight. Stubborn, just like her mother. He’s better with Lyra, anyway. At least she’s full wolf. Not tainted with dirty rogue blood.”He glances toward Rael like he’s tossing a joke into the middle of casual conversation.“No offense.”Rael’s voice is flat. “None taken. I’m not exactly fond of rogues either, even being one myself.”Sethen laughs at that, like it’s a shared joke between them. Like Rael didn’t spend half his life running from what Sethen just called him.I glance at Rael, but he won’t meet my eyes. His hands are tight in his lap, his knuckles pale. He’s ho

  • Rejected And Disowned Now Claimed By Four Ruthless Alphas   His Happiness

    Veyra’s POVI don’t know how long I’ve been sitting here, pressed back against the cold leather of the seat, but I haven’t moved once. My hands are clenched too tightly in my lap, my nails biting into my skin, but I can’t feel the pain. It’s like my body’s gone numb, except for my chest, where every breath burns and every heartbeat feels sharp enough to cut me open.Their voices drift to me through the stillness.Maybe I shouldn’t be able to hear them. The walls should block their words, but I hear them as clearly as if I’m standing inside that house, right there with them. I tell myself it’s just the bond, stretched thin now that the worst of my heat is behind me. Or maybe it’s something else. Something I’ve always ignored. Something in my blood that never fully belonged to this pack or any other.Sethen’s voice cuts through the silence first, it's calm, steady and cold.“She’s her father’s daughter.”The words shouldn’t surprise me. I already know. But hearing them spoken like that,

  • Rejected And Disowned Now Claimed By Four Ruthless Alphas   His Truth

    Rael’s POVI don’t know what I expected when Sethen started speaking, but it wasn’t this. Of all the horrors I imagined tied to Veyra’s past, this… this wasn’t even a possibility. Varric has haunted my nightmares since I was a boy. His name is something that still makes my skin crawl, even now, after all the blood I’ve spilled and all the years that have passed. He’s the shadow I never outran. The fear I never outgrew.And yet, none of this feels real.Varric never wanted women. That was the one constant. The one thing we all knew. He said they disgusted him. He’d sneer at the very idea of touching one. But it is real. It has to be. Because when I think about it now, think about her strength, her power… it’s more than rogue blood. More than the Velhara. She’s something else entirely. She’s something we’ve never seen before.And I never noticed.Not until Sethen said the name.Not until he said it and I thought of her eyes.I see them now, so clearly it hurts. Veyra’s eyes. Sharp and c

  • Rejected And Disowned Now Claimed By Four Ruthless Alphas   Her Father

    Vane’s POVThe moment we step inside, the scent of smoke and old stone hits me like a wall. The air feels too still, too heavy, as if this house has been holding its breath since the last time someone bled here. Sethen walks ahead without looking back at us, his posture too casual for a man who just admitted to enjoying the thought of his daughter dead. He gestures lazily toward the two waiting maids, who appear as if summoned from the shadows, their heads bowed, their movements stiff. Neither looks at us directly as they move to pour drinks, setting glasses on the heavy table between the chairs.Dagen moves first. He strides across the room without hesitation and lowers himself into the chair nearest the fire. His calm is deliberate, calculated. A message, even if Sethen’s too arrogant to read it. Rael takes the seat beside him, his expression as closed as I’ve ever seen it. Maddox stands for a moment longer, jaw clenched, before he drops into the chair opposite Dagen. His knuckles a
