Julian

I felt slightly dazed as I climbed the podium with Louisa’s warm, strong hand in mine. As if she sensed it, she turned her head and flashed me a smile that made the whole thing feel possible.

I tried not to compare her to Annie. I couldn’t quite stop myself. Annie had been small and fragile — a lovely, delicate thing that needed protection, and I had loved her complet

  • Promised to the Wrong Alpha   Chapter Seventy-Six: The Poisoned Heart

    Mandi“You know this is a setup, right? He only came and said all that to make you follow him.” I was jogging to keep up with Elara as she strode down the hallway, her steps long and deliberate. I didn’t know where she was headed until she turned down the corridor toward the gym.Elara didn’t stop until she reached the heavy door. She turned with her hand on the handle and looked back at me. “Yeah, I know.”“But you’re going anyway?”“Well, yeah.” She flashed me that c.ocky grin before she pushed the door open and hit the lights.She was so beautiful in her confidence. It also terrified me. Kaelen might be her fated mate, but I had known him for most of my life. I knew exactly what a sick f**k he was, and how cruel he could be when he felt like it. My blood ran hot and cold at the same time — desire and dread, right next to each other. I loved Elara. The thought of her g

    KaelenElara thought she had me by the short hairs. She had absolutely no idea what I was capable of.I shrugged my jacket over my new fatigues and went to her room. Even before I reached the white door I could hear voices on the other side. Mandi was in there. I couldn’t help but smile.It just kept getting better.I knocked firmly. A moment later Elara yanked the door open, her lovely face flushed with annoyance. One look at her and I felt desire coil deep in my gut.“What do you want now?” she snapped.I looked past her into the pink and white bedroom. Mandi was on the bed, leaning against the headboard. If it hadn’t been for her scent, I might have doubted it was the same person I had known almost my entire life. She had cut her hair short, and she was wearing black leather shorts and a tight halter top. Surprisingly sexy. The Mandi I remembered would never have dressed that way. More than the clothes, though

    ElaraI was coming down the hall running a towel through my hair, still sweaty from the gym, not yet to my room for a proper shower, when I caught Kaelen’s voice from inside my father’s office.“This is extremely urgent, Alpha Forge. I have a man on the inside — a council member — who told me that Julian is planning to strike tonight!”I shifted position to see through the gap. My father was behind his desk, face set in its default mask of careful neutrality. “Why would Julian attack Silvercrest? We have a long history of peaceful and mutually beneficial relations.”Kaelen stood from his chair. His eyes cut to the door, and I knew he had already registered my presence. “I should think it was obvious. Julian wants to claim Silvercrest for himself. Now that he has Louisa, he may feel entitled to your pack. He can’t risk that I’ll rise again.”“If Julian has marked Lo

  • Promised to the Wrong Alpha   Chapter Seventy-Three: The Price of Silence

    LouisaThe day of Julian’s Alpha ceremony will be embedded in my memory for the rest of my life. It was as though not only his title was restored, but something deeper — his soul, maybe, or simply the version of himself he had been before grief had hollowed him out. He looked so handsome up on that podium. So certain of himself. And yet he was still the same quietly humble man I had fallen in love with.The months of recovery had done their work. The bony hollows had filled back in with muscle, and he didn’t even break a sweat carrying me up the stairs and laying me in the center of his bed. He crawled over me, knees bracketing my hips, and I ran my hands up his thighs and over his hips with a sense of satisfaction I didn’t bother to hide.“Alpha Julian,” I purred, reaching for the hook of his suit tro

    JulianI felt slightly dazed as I climbed the podium with Louisa’s warm, strong hand in mine. As if she sensed it, she turned her head and flashed me a smile that made the whole thing feel possible.I tried not to compare her to Annie. I couldn’t quite stop myself. Annie had been small and fragile — a lovely, delicate thing that needed protection, and I had loved her completely for exactly what she was. I would never have wished her to be different.But Louisa stood tall beside me, her wild hair loose around her shoulders, her head high, her brown eyes alive with something that looked a great deal like joy. Her expression held a quiet, unspoken promise: whatever came next, she would stand at my side as my equal, always. Not behind me. Not in my shadow. Beside me.I squeezed

    ElaraI heard him coming down the hallway before he arrived. My ears had already calibrated to his particular stride, and my nose had his scent long before his knock came at the door — soft at first, then harder when I didn’t immediately respond. The mark on my shoulder thrummed at his nearness like it was reaching toward him.I set my phone down with deliberate slowness, feeling something stir inside me that I was only beginning to understand. I swung my legs off the bed and walked to the door and yanked it open so suddenly that Kaelen almost fell through it.He caught himself on the frame and straightened, smoothing his shirt with the self-conscious grooming of a peacock rearranging his feathers. The feathers in question were an impressive assortment of purple and yellow bruises across his face. Despite all of it, I felt the unwilling

    ElaraI flew down the stairs the moment I spotted the unfamiliar car in the driveway, burning with equal parts relief and curiosity. Louisa had been frustratingly vague every time I asked about her mate, and I was long overdue for answers.By the time I reached the main floor, my father had already

    KaelenIt was time to start putting pressure on Alpha Forge — to begin the official process of folding Silvercrest under Night Rising leadership. I put on my second-best suit and debated the wisdom of bringing the woman along.Louisa was turning out to be considerably more difficult than I had anti

    KaelenBefore I was quite ready for it, she was back.She breezed into the dining room like she owned it — head high, hair cascading down her back, that bright smile cutting across the room for everyone. Everyone except me, naturally. Not that I needed her fawning over me; I was the Alpha. I looked

    LouisaI stared at the closed door in shocked disbelief — shocked at what was happening to my body, and disbelieving that that little turd had just locked me in my own room. How stupid was he? Didn’t he know I could rip that door off its hinges?Then my eyes cut to the door between the rooms. The o
