A man's greatest fear is not of death, but of being forgotten.

— Niccolò Machiavelli.

LEONARDO(Lucien's father)

So the boy thinks he’s grown enough to bare his teeth at me?

His eyes burned at me that day, but I’ll remind him who taught him fear in the first place.

The room smelled faintly of camphor and old wood polish as Nadira lay beside me, her silence as practiced as mine.

I didn’t hate her. I never had. Hate takes fire, and between us there was only a dull ember that never caught flame.

She gave me children, gave me quiet, gave me a warm body when the night pressed too heavy.

That was enough.

I reached for her. My hands knew the map of her body, but not in the way of lovers—more like a soldier returning to his post.

She didn’t flinch or welcome it and only yielded. She always yielded.

The mattress dipped as I rolled toward her, pressing my chest to her back.

She didn’t move, not away, not closer. Just waiting, like always.

I slid my hand over her hip, pulling the nightdress up a

  • Primal Craving    Chapter 70

    Every man contains two wolves. One is evil and one is good. The one that wins is the one you feed.—Cherokee.M.Wolves, witches, vampires… ..such pitiful creatures.They scurry and howl, cast spells, bite necks… and yet? None of them ever even tremble under my shadow.Nobody… nobody ever measures up to me. And oh, how delicious that truth tasted.I watched the alphas, the so-called rulers, swagger up to my pack member,my little masterpiece.They tore into him, shredding his flesh,and cracking his bones, his screams painting the air like some sick, twisted symphony.But he wouldn’t give in or answer their questions.Not because of courage, not because of loyalty… but because he had a family.Innocent, fragile little lives, all dangling on a thread I could snap with a mere flick of my fingers.And oh, he knew it.That knowledge—his fear for them—was exactly what kept him silent, kept him dancing on the knife’s edge… for me.Through it all, through the artistry of his agony, he dared

    Steady is the crown. Caged is the hunger.— Anonymous.LUCIEN I hadn’t had a moment to myself in days, and finally, I let my hands work the tension from my body.But even here, alone in the dark, I wasn’t really alone. Camellia was everywhere: laugh, stubborn eyes—everything clawing at my chest until it ached and my cock throbbed with the same relentless hunger.And gods, the pack. The endless weight of it. The snarling tempers, the shadow of Raven Howl poisoning every corner.I carried it on my shoulders every hour of the day, and it pressed down until my bones ached.This wasn’t just lust. It was release.I leaned back in the chair, undoing my pants with shaking hands. My cock sprang free, heavy and flushed, the need in me almost painful. I wrapped my palm around it and groaned.My strokes started slow, dragging from root to tip, my veins throbbing against my fist.I closed my eyes and saw her mouth—parting as I slid between her lips. My hand tightened, moving faster, chasing the

    The body knows what the mind refuses.— Elara Veyne.CAMELLIA I couldn’t possibly be pregnant.All the doctors Darius brought said it was just digestion issues."Drink this, it helped me with nausea when I was pregnant," one of the women handed me a cup with something silvery swimming in it."I'm not pregnant," I said again.She looked at me with a sad smile and left, shaking her head.The Direborn pack, which was what the group of people were called, were actually really friendly when they weren’t pointing weapons at me.They were a little bit on the ancient side, and we camped on Darius’s grounds for about two or three days before we arrived at their pack.They were smaller compared to Darius and Lucien’s, but seemed much happier.They didn’t have most of the modern infrastructures and technology we were used to, yet they had managed to make do in ways that felt odd with water wheels in place of power, fire-lit gatherings instead of electricity and handwoven systems that somehow w

    Instinct is a marvelous thing. It can neither be explained nor ignored.— Agatha Christie.LILY Something was wrong and I hate that I just couldn't prove it yet.I stared at the TV absentmindedly while Rowan’s hand toyed with my nipples, the other busy texting on his phone.“I want you,” he said, but his eyes never left the screen as his hand slid lower."That sounds like a your kind of problem," I scoffed, removing his hand from my breasts.Rowan froze, his lips parting like he wanted to fire back. But whatever words he had caught in his throat. He closed his mouth, shifted his gaze back to the TV, and sank into silence instead.Meanwhile, my mind wasn’t on him at all,it was on Camellia.She hadn’t texted me in nearly a week. I told myself not to panic, that she was probably tangled up in her decision with Darius.So I tried the American way of giving her space instead of bombarding her with calls and texts.It felt wrong, though, like silence was eating me alive."I'm worried ab

    The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.― Samuel Johnson.LUCIEN My warriors always had to pay the price to keep me occupied whenever I thought about camellia too much."Again" i said to them.They groaned but resumed another lap around the training field.A stray thought of her wasn’t harmless; it was me lighting the fuse on my own ruin.Camellia had chosen to stay with Darius, and I told myself that was fine.She was her own being, free to make her choices. Maybe she was even better off with him than with me. Even if I’d managed to tame my father and his madness for a while , the elders would still sneer at her name.Fuck.Who was I kidding? It wasn’t fine. I hated that she was with Darius, hated the thought of her laughter belonging to him. I missed her like breath itself, and my wolf was too silent these days, like he’d abandoned me to mourn her alone.When I finally brought her back, I wanted there to be no more obstacles—no father, n

    The road to hell is paved with good intentions.— Saint Bernard of Clairvaux.ALARIC I wasn't dumb, I was selectively stupid.It definitely took more than a good hand job for me to spill pack secrets, Nyla only got snippets of the chaos in my pack—wolves going rogue, alliances cracking, and Camellia’s name showing up in the wrong mouths. I only talked about Camellia when she pressed hard enough, but even then, it was nothing worth losing sleep over.Hell, I didn't even know the full story of what happened these days.I ate my cereal silently as Darius addressed the pack about territory patrols, hunting schedules, the kind of orders that usually rolled off his tongue with effortless authority.To everyone else, it was a normal morning. But I’d known Darius and been his friend since his father was still alpha so I could read him better than most.He was tense as hell.His voice carried the same authority, but his jaw flexed too tight, His knuckles whitened around the armrest of his ch
