ROGUE BLOOD CHAPTER 25 – CONTAINMENT
POV: EliI wake up choking on air that tastes wrong.Like metal. Like burnt sugar. Like someone just tore open the sky and stitched it back up crooked.I sit up so fast I almost fall off the hotel bed. My chest is tight. My wolf is already up, already pacing, already snarling in my head.What the hell was that?The room is dark. The clock says 2:17 a.m. My phone is still on the nightstand, quiet. No missed calls. No messages.But I feel it.It runs under my skin like cold water. A ripple. A snap. Magic. Not soft. Not wild.Precise.I swing my legs off the bed and press my palm to the floor. I close my eyes.There.It hums in the ground. Faint now. Fading. But I caught it. It came from the edge of town.From her direction.My jaw tightens.No.I grab my phone just as it starts ringing in my hand.Jason.Of course.I answer before the second ring. “Tell me you felt that.”His breath is rough on the other end. Wind in the background. He’s outside.“Felt it?” he snaps. “It hit our border
ROGUE BLOOD CHAPTER 24: THE BREACH
POV: GUSThe sky is still dark when the anchor cracks.I see it before I hear anything. A thin, sharp column of fractured light shoots up from the east tree line behind Arachne’s property, silent, wrong, like lightning that forgot to make thunder. It splits the air for half a second, then collapses inward on itself like a dying star.I smile.“Status,” I say calmly into the comms.Static. Breathing. Then Jensen’s voice, tight but steady. “Charge placed and triggered. Anchor fractured, not destroyed. We are pulling back. No engagement.”“Any magical backlash?” I ask.“Minimal. It’s compensating. Feels uneven.”Good.“Withdraw now. Don’t chase it. Don’t touch anything else.”“We’re clear.”The light fades completely. The trees look normal again. Houses quiet. Street lamps still humming. Some human down the block probably rolls over in bed, never knowing that a defensive grid older than his mortgage just got punched in the throat.I lean against the balcony railing of the mansion and wat
ROGUE BLOOD CHAPTER 23: MOVEMENT
POV: GUSI sit in the back of the car, windows rolled down a crack, the evening breeze brushing past like it wants to warn me, but I’m not listening. I never listen to warnings. Not anymore. I see the city spread below me, every street, every house, every light a piece I can move, and I feel that old familiar rush, the one that makes my pulse quicken and my stomach tighten at the same time. Control. That’s the word. I want control, not chaos, and tonight, the pieces are moving exactly the way I planned.“Carter,” I say, keeping my voice low but sharp, “how far out are the east block teams?”“They’re in position, sir. Jenkins and Thompsons are embedded. The neighbors barely noticed. Windows checked, exits logged. We’ve got patrol rotations set, three shifts per twenty-four hours. Coverage’s solid.”“Good,” I mutter, tapping my fingers on my knee, my mind spinning through the next steps. “Make sure they’re not just watching. I want patterns. Who comes, who goes, what time. Anything unus
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 7: TOO CLOSE TO THE FIRE
POV: MIAI walk into the bar knowing I should not be here and still doing it anyway.My mom’s voice is in my head like background noise I cannot mute, saying no and saying danger and saying don’t poke things that bite back. Not all humans know about the supernatural elements of our society or the

POV: ELII am halfway out the door when my body turns on me.One foot is already in the hallway. Bag on my shoulder. Key card in my hand. My head is back home already, on the pack, on borders, on everything waiting for me.Then my chest tightens.Not nerves. Not guilt. Not doubt.Something wakes up

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

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
