Kaelen

The late summer sun beat down on the training field, the air so thick with humidity that every breath felt like drowning. It was a perfect day to train. There was no shade on the field, nowhere to seek shelter. I could already feel the prickle of sunburn on my scalp and nose, so I retreated under a beach umbrella on the sidelines and sucked on a water bottle, checking my watch.

Thirty-six men and women were making laps, their clothes soaked, their faces red with exertion. It was a beauti

  • Promised to the Wrong Alpha   Chapter Sixty-Six: The Refugee

    Elara“My daughter did what?!”My father’s roar carried through the entire house. I wasn’t sure which daughter he was furious about — whether he had discovered that I was hiding Mandi and her mother on our lands, or whether this was about Louisa. I crept down the hall to his doorway and was immediately hit by the scent of cotton candy. My mouth watered before I could stop it. Biological response. Entirely involuntary.I angled myself to see into the room. Kaelen was seated across from my father’s desk, mostly with his back to me, his arm in a sling. “She has colluded with Julian to take over the pack,” he was saying. “When I refused to give them full control, they attacked me. I was caught off guard, outnumbered — I had no choice but to flee for my life.” He sighed with co

  • Promised to the Wrong Alpha   Chapter Sixty-Five: The New Moon Duel

    JulianThe night was dark and cold, a killing frost threatening in the still air. Autumn leaves had scattered across the training field, and it seemed the entire pack had assembled on the grass, their breath rising in small clouds. The anxiety was palpable — I could feel it, hear it in the low murmur of voices speculating around the edges of the circle that had begun to form.Wisdom and experience against youth and physical fitness. Many of them hadn’t seen me since Kaelen’s ascension, when I had been so diminished I could barely stand upright. I wasn’t that man anymore. The months of running — literally, through the woods, away from Louisa and everything that terrified me about her — had done their work. My body had remembered what it was.And now I had something worth fighting for.

  • Promised to the Wrong Alpha   Chapter Sixty-Four: The Challenge Issued

    JulianFor all intents and purposes, I had signed over everything I owned to Louisa and our unborn child. It wasn’t a great deal — some personal investments, a sum in savings — but it was enough to let her

  • Promised to the Wrong Alpha   Chapter Sixty-Three: Property and Proximity

    KaelenFinally, Louisa and Julian were both out of the house at the same time, and I had the perfect opportunity to search the old Alpha suites for my mother’s gun. I had the master key in my pocket, but I didn’t even need it. Louisa never bothered to lock her door. What a trusting fool. I pushed it open and cringed against the scent that practically slapped me in the face. I never, in my life, smelled a woman who was so damn unappealing.As the door swung open, I took stock of the room. It bore very little resemblance to my mother's room anymore. Louisa had added her own little touches everywhere, and had filled the bland space with splashes of color. It was… not terrible. I took another step into the room, and then realized there was a door on the floor.What in the actual hell?The door that separated the two rooms was off its hinges and just lying on the carpet, for no apparent reason at all. Upon closer inspection, I saw that the door jamb and the handle had been damaged, like so

  • Promised to the Wrong Alpha   Chapter Sixty-Two: The Strength of a Luna

    LouisaThat wasn’t exactly how I had planned for things to unfold, but the cat was well and truly out of the bag.“There are no take-backs, Missy!” Gerald Halfmoon said, once he had recovered enough to speak. “You may be regretting your decision, Julian, but the blood ceremony was performed. Unless Kaelen willingly passes the Alpha mantle back to you, what’s done is done. It’s irreversible.”“Nothing is irreversible,” Ruth said, waving her cookie in the air. “There is always an option to replace a weak Alpha. Julian will have to challenge him.”“But — an Alpha challenge is to the death!”“That’s right!” Gerald said, with entirely too much satisfac

  • Promised to the Wrong Alpha   Chapter Sixty-One: Takebacksies

    JulianAll I wanted was to get back to Louisa.She had occupied every corner of my mind all day — her smiles, the soft sounds she made, the way she sighed in her sleep. And underneath all of it, steady and impossible and real, the sound of our baby’s heartbeat.I was still trying to make sense of the fact that our tiny, barely-formed child had somehow expelled Kaelen’s venom from Louisa’s blood and healed the mark entirely. Not a trace of a scar remained — I had confirmed that by close examination while she slept. I hadn’t known such a thing was possible. But it only reinforced what I already knew in my bones: Louisa was meant for me. The whole catastrophe with Kaelen had never been going to hold.And it had all come about because of me. Because I had been

  • Promised to the Wrong Alpha   Chapter Thirty: The Masterpiece of Deception

    LouisaThe only remotely sexy underwear I owned was a black babydoll set I’d bought for my last birthday. Checking the rear view in the mirror, I could still see the fold creases pressed into the fabric. I tucked myself into the cups and noticed they felt snugger than I remembered.A sharp knock ma

  • Promised to the Wrong Alpha   Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Weight of the Merlot

    KaelenLouisa had been unusually subdued since our visit to Silvercrest, and I was grateful for the reprieve from her constant disdainful looks and disapproving silences. I had my own preoccupations. I was nearly certain I had scented my fated mate at the Silvercrest pack house — Louisa’s younger s

  • Promised to the Wrong Alpha   Chapter Twenty-Eight: Sandalwood Sanctuary

    LouisaHow could this have happened?I imagined every woman who had ever stared down an unplanned pregnancy had asked herself exactly that. It was a silly question — we all knew perfectly well how it happened. But in my case I was genuinely puzzled. It was common pack knowledge that despite more th

  • Promised to the Wrong Alpha   Chapter Twenty-Seven: Two Lines and a Lie

    MandiSomething was wrong with the Luna. I could feel it — and I suspected the whole pack could too. Ever since she came back from Silvercrest she was different. She still moved through her days with her head up, still smiled at the right moments, but it was like someone had turned down a dimmer on
