ROGUE BLOOD CHAPTER 22: CRACKS
POV: ARACHNEI feel it before I even see it. The air around Mia shivers, almost like it’s alive, and a pulse of something wild threads through the quiet. My stomach twists, just as my chest tightens. The suppression spell falters, not violently, not like it’s breaking but just enough for me to know something has shifted. Something has changed.“No. No, no, no,” I mutter under my breath, stepping closer to the runes etched into the floor. My fingers hover above the sigils and I can feel the subtle, jagged bleed of energy where it should not be. My heart thumps faster.I know immediately: she is awake in ways I cannot see. She is stirring, little threads of wolf seeping through.I bite my lip.I know this means risk. Exposure. The faintest slip could let everything I’ve built shatter in seconds. My pulse hammers.I kneel down and lay my hands over the anchors I set around the house, the tiny charms and wards I scattered in careful, invisible patterns. They hum under my touch, barely. T
ROGUE BLOOD CHAPTER 21: NECESSARY DISTANCE
POV: MIAI am outside for a stroll walking because if I stop I think I might scream or cry or throw up, and none of those feel safe right now. The air is loud. Cars. People. Music leaking out of shops. My head is worse.I see Eli before I can turn away.He is across the street, hands in his pockets, shoulders tense like he is bracing for something. My heart jumps like it always does, stupid and hopeful, and my feet move without asking me.Then he looks up.Our eyes meet. Just for a second.And he turns around.Not slow. Not unsure. He just turns and walks the other way.I stop dead as my chest caves in. It feels like something inside me goes quiet all at once, like a light switching off without warning.He saw me. He chose to leave.That is worse than if he had not noticed at all.I stand there too long. People brush past me and curse under their breath. I do not care. My ears ring. My hands shake. I taste metal like I bit my tongue but I did not.So he knows.Of course he knows.The
ROGUE BLOOD CHAPTER 20: BLOOD STILL COUNTS
POV: GUSThe message comes in while I’m drinking bad coffee and waiting for a signal that will make me go after Eli. It’s not dramatic. That’s the worst part. No explosion. No scream. Just a knock at the door and one of the witches standing there with her eyes too steady and her mouth too tight.“What is it?”“We were tracking Arachne and we saw that she met up with Eli today at the market.”That's strange.“I wants aware they even knew each other. What would they have to discuss together?”“You’re going to want to sit,” she says.I don’t.“You don't tell me what to do. Talk.”.She hesitates, and that alone makes my stomach turn. Witches love drama. If she’s hesitating, it means this is real.“She was pregnant,” she says. “When she died?”My ears ring.“What?” I say, because my brain trips over the sentence like it doesn’t know how words work anymore. “Who was pregnant?” I ans even though I know who she is talking about. My gut already knows.“Helena, your siser” she says quietly. “S
ROGUE BLOOD CHAPTER 19: TOO CLOSE
POV: ELISomething flashes wrong before I even open my eyes.I have been feeling this way ever since Arachne magicked me out of her house that day.It is not loud. It is not dramatic. It is worse than that.It is quiet.Too quiet.The constant pull I live with, the background noise that never shuts up, the steady knowing of where Mia is in relation to me, it just drops out. All at once. Like a limb falling asleep without warning. Like part of me got cut off and forgot to scream.I sit up in bed so fast my head spins.My wolf slams against my ribs, confused and sharp.What happened.I press my hand to my chest and breathe in through my nose, slow, controlled, because panic never fixes anything, and because I am Alpha, and because I am supposed to have control even when my insides are a mess.“She’s still there,” I mutter under my breath. “She has to be.”My wolf does not answer the way it usually does.It circles. Uneasy. Restless.Something shifted.Not snapped. Not broke.Shifted.An
ROGUE BLOOD CHAPTER 18: WRONG FEELINGS
POV: MIAI wake up already tired.Not the kind where you did not sleep enough but the kind that sits on your chest and does not move. Like something heavy climbed inside me overnight and decided to stay.My room looks the same but it feels wrong. Too quiet. Too clean. Like it belongs to someone else now.I stare at the ceiling and try to breathe but it comes out uneven, and my chest hurts in this dull slow way, and I hate that this is how my mornings start now.Helena.The name sits there, loud and quiet at the same time.My mother.I still do not know how to say that without my stomach twisting.I roll onto my side and curl up, pulling my knees in because that feels safer, and I press my face into my pillow like maybe I can disappear into it.Nothing happens.Of course nothing happens.I wait for it though.Some sign.Some pull.Something
ROGUE BLOOD CHAPTER 17: YOUR MOTHER’S NAME
POV: ARACHNESilence stops being safe on the third day.I know it the second I hear Mia stop pacing.She has been walking the house nonstop since she woke up, not loud, not angry, just restless, like an animal that knows the room is too small but does not know where the door is. She touches the walls like they might shift. She flinches at sounds that never used to bother her. She laughs at the wrong moments and then freezes like she regrets making noise at all.Now she is sitting on the couch.Still.Knees pulled up. Arms wrapped tight around herself. Staring at nothing.That scares me more than her yelling ever did.“Mia,” I say, and I hate how calm my voice sounds because my chest feels tight, like it is folding in on itself.She looks at me slowly, like even turning her head takes effort.“You are going to tell me now,” she says. “Or I am going to lose my mind.”I close the door beh
ROGUE BLOOD CHAPTER 6: THE PROBLEM WITH CURIOSITY
POV: ELIThe second she leaves, everything feels wrong.Like the air shifts and the noise drops and suddenly the bar feels too quiet, and I hate quiet because quiet gives my head room to talk. I stay where I am, elbows on the counter, glass still in my hand, eyes stuck on the door she walked out of

POV: ARACHNEI know he will not stop and that thought hits me hard and fast the second I pull the car out of the lot.Mia slams the door shut and folds her arms and stares straight ahead and I keep driving because if I look at her I might break and I cannot do that. Not tonight.“Mum,” she says, sl

POV: MIAI wake up to a feeling like I am dying.Like actually dying, not dramatic dying, real dying, because my body jerks so hard I think I fell off something, like a cliff or a building or out of the world, but I am still in my bed. My mouth is open wide and I am screami

POV: ELII look up the moment Jasper says my name.“Eli.”He says it low. Flat. That tone he uses when he’s pissed but holding it back. I feel it hit before I even look up.I glance up from my phone. I already know what this is about. My chest tightens anyway. I hate that it still does.“What?” I s
