ANDREI

I didn’t hear the door open.

I didn’t even look up when footsteps crossed the room and stopped just short of the hearth. I sat with my elbows on my knees, head in my hands, trying to breathe past the hollow ache in my chest that had been growing since morning.

“You need to come with me,” Damon said quietly.

I looked up. He stood in the doorway, unreadable as ever, tension coiled through his frame like a live wire.

“What is it?” I asked, my voice hoarse from a sleepless night.

“Just… come.”

There was something in his tone. Not urgency. Not command. But something final.

I stood without questioning him.

He didn’t speak again as we walked, only led me through the winding halls of the packhouse and out toward the far side of the estate, where the trees grew closer and the shadows darker. The path curved toward the back stables, where the air smelled of damp hay and salt carried from the cliffs nearby.

The sea.

    NATALIAThe corridor was dim and quiet, but my head was anything but. My heart still hadn’t slowed, and every breath tasted like ash.Lilith’s voice echoed inside me. If you don’t finish this, I will.I moved like a shadow through Damon’s packhouse, hands clenched, footsteps light. The cool air kissed my face as I slipped past closed doors and polished railings.Somewhere behind me, Andrei was still in that room, probably standing among the shards of glass I’d left behind, unaware of how close he’d been.Unaware that I was alive.And unsure if he deserved to know.I pressed my palm to the wall and tried to breathe. My thoughts felt splintered, whiplashing between fear and fury, grief and longing.I should have run. I should have left the second she started talking on that call. But I hadn’t. I’d stayed. Listened. And now?Now I didn’t know what to believe.I was so lost in my own head that I didn’t notice Damon until I nearly collided with him at the top of the main staircase.He caug

    NATALIAThis was it, I thought. I was caught.Andrei’s gaze locked onto my back like a brand. Sharp. Searching. His wolf pushed forward, scenting the air, brushing the edges of recognition. My pulse screamed. I couldn’t move, couldn’t speak, couldn’t even breathe.He took a step toward me.My legs refused to work.He opened his mouth—And the door burst open.“Alpha.”A soldier—one of Andrei’s men—stood framed in the hallway, his shirt damp with sweat, boots still dusted from the road. I recognized him by scent alone—he’d been part of Andrei’s personal protective detail for years.“What?” Andrei barked, his eyes still fixed on me.The man didn’t seem to notice the tension in the room. “We found a lead. North of the ravine outside Redpine. A healer said she treated a lone wolf last week—female, injured, matching Natalia’s description. Said the woman had a scar on her left hand.”I flinched.My left hand—injured during the ambush. The scar had never healed clean.Andrei inhaled sharply.

    NATALIAThe door to the storage room creaked shut, and I didn’t dare to breathe until I heard Andrei’s footsteps retreat. Even then, I stayed still for several minutes, tucked in the narrow passageway between the walls, my arms wrapped protectively around my belly.Damon’s hand rested lightly on my shoulder. “He’s gone.”I exhaled, shaky and silent. My body slumped forward slightly, the tension leaving my limbs in waves. My heart, though, thundered on, unwilling to settle.“He was so close,” I whispered.“I know.” Damon’s voice was tight with restrained anger. “Too close.”He helped me up, guiding me back to the adjoining room — the one I’d been hiding in before Grace opened her mouth and nearly destroyed everything.The panic had been instantaneous. The moment we heard footsteps, Damon swept me through the back hallway just in time, stuffing me between a stack of dusty crates and old linens while Grace tried to stall.It didn’t matter that the room Andrei entered had nothing but cobw

    DAMON“Natalia, stay in your room.”She looked at me like she wanted to argue, to press for answers, but I didn’t give her the chance. I closed the door softly but firmly, cutting off her wide, panicked eyes. Behind the door, I could still feel her wolf—agitated, alert, pressing against her skin like mine pressed against mine.“She’s too close to the edge,” the doctor had warned me. “Emotionally and physically. Any sudden shock—”I wasn’t about to let Andrei deliver one.Grace was loitering near the hall, arms crossed, jaw tight with tension she didn’t bother to hide. She opened her mouth, but I cut her off.“You will not speak to him. Not a word. Not unless I order it.”Her lips curled in irritation. “He has a right to know—”“No,” I snapped. “He had the right. He gave it up when he let her walk away pregnant and alone.”She glared at me, but under my Alpha tone, she dropped her gaze. “Yes, Alpha,” she muttered.I brushed past her and headed toward the southern gates. My pack had alr

  • Reclaimed by My Alpha   #Chapter 8: A Threat

    NATALIAI’d been injured before when my car fell from the cliff—cuts, bruises, and fractured rib—but something about this time felt different.Maybe it was the way the pain lingered beneath my skin like a warning, a slow burn of vulnerability I couldn’t shake. Or maybe it was the gnawing weight in my chest, whispering that the man who might have ordered my death was the same one I once trusted to keep me safe.Andrei.I hadn’t spoken his name aloud since the crash, but it never left my thoughts. It clung to everything: the bruises on my ribs, the tremor in my hands, the way I jolted awake each night expecting another attack.Damon had saved me. Damon had sheltered me. But I was no fool.If Andrei truly believed I was a threat—because of the child, because of the past—he would not stop.And hiding within Damon’s territory put him and his people directly in the line of fire.Still, I couldn’t bring myself to leave.Not yet.The pregnancy had taken a toll on me. More than I’d expected.T

    ANDREI“You need to rein her in before there’s nothing left to salvage.”My mother’s voice was sharp, clear, and unforgiving as she stood in my office, arms crossed in that imperious way she used when she knew she was right. Which, in this case, she probably was.“She’s only been back for a few days,” I said, already exhausted by the conversation. “She needs time to reacquaint herself with the rhythms of pack life.”Mother’s eyes narrowed. “Reacquaint? She’s issuing orders to warriors, reallocating patrols, questioning the Beta in front of others. Do you have any idea how furious the ranks are?”I turned away, pacing behind my desk. It was easier than facing her.“She’s not Luna yet.”“Try telling her that. The pack sees her acting like one, and they don’t like it. Natalia would never have overstepped this way.”I flinched.It wasn’t that she was wrong. It was that I didn’t want to hear it.Mother softened her tone. “Andrei. You can still undo this. You’re not married to Lilith yet.”

    NATALIAPain woke me. Not the sharp, screaming kind—but the dull, bruising ache of being shoved back into life.I inhaled sharply.The air was sterile. Clean. Tinged faintly with antiseptic and something herbal, like crushed mint leaves.I blinked, vision swimming. White ceiling. Soft light. A pulse monitor beside me.I remembered. The car accident. Falling. The impact. The water surging up around me.My hand flew to my belly.The baby.My heart thundered.Then, something inside me—my wolf—whispered that it was okay.My baby.Alive.Tears sprang to my eyes before I could stop them. I didn’t sob. Just let them fall, warm and quiet, down my temples and into my hair. I had lived. My child had lived. For now.The door creaked open.A tall man stepped in. Dark hair. Green eyes. A jawline sharpened by years of holding back too many words. Familiar—but not.Damon.Andrei's brother. Half-brother, technically. The one they never spoke of at the packhouse unless politics or tension made it una

    NATALIAThe closet was half-empty. My dresses still hung in a neat row, untouched. Most were formal—Luna attire. Silks and muted colors meant to convey grace and restraint. Now, they looked like costumes from a role I no longer played.I folded the last of my sweaters and zipped the suitcase shut. There wasn’t much else I wanted to take. A few books. Some photos. Letters from some of the other wolves who grew up alongside me in the orphanage. Everything else could stay. Let Lilith wear my title. My dresses. Let her step into my shoes and realize how quickly they blister.A knock at the door startled me.When I opened it, Mila stood there—my Delta. Her eyes were red-rimmed, jaw tight. She looked like she hadn’t slept."You’re really leaving," she said quietly.I nodded. "It’s better this way."Mila stepped inside, looking around like she might find a reason to make me stay. "He won’t be the same without you. None of us will.""He’ll be fine," I said. "He has Lilith."She snorted. Walk
