The horn came from the west.

Not an alarm. A coalition call. Short. Rough. Ours.

Sable’s head snapped up. “Asher.”

Wren tried to stand, and I kept her down. “If it is a trick.”

“It is his timing,” Sable said. “And he is not quiet enough to fake that ugly note.”

They came out of the dark in a thin line. Not a war party. What was left. Wounded on carts. Children half asleep. Packs tied wrong. The camp is walking away from its own house. The smell hit first. Smoke. Wet earth. Fear of sweat. Not a

  • Rejected For My Curves. Desired By The War Alpha    Chapter 131: The Jump

    The slam in my arm did not leave.It settled.Not under a hall. Not in a cellar. In the cut. In the blood. A beat that did not need boards or dust anymore. Each pulse was small and sure, like someone knocking from inside my own skin. The cloth over the mark felt too tight. Heat leaked through it into my fingers.Ronan kept his forehead on mine. His hands framed my face. I could smell dust and blood and the sour iron of the work. His breath hit my mouth, uneven. The bond scraped between us, raw from the jump, still holding.“Talk,” he said.“It is in me. Not the house. Me.”Asher swore under his breath. He stood close enough that I saw the cut on his lip in the dark. “Garrick brought the floor down.”“He took the room away.” My voice sounded scraped. “The work took the next floor. This is the next floor.”Wren grabbed my unhurt wrist. Her fingers were cold. Her bad shoulder made the angle ugly, and she still did it. “Then refuse it. Now. The way you did on the rim. Do not wait for it t

  • Rejected For My Curves. Desired By The War Alpha    Chapter 130: Asher’s Horn

    The horn came from the west.Not an alarm. A coalition call. Short. Rough. Ours.Sable’s head snapped up. “Asher.”Wren tried to stand, and I kept her down. “If it is a trick.”“It is his timing,” Sable said. “And he is not quiet enough to fake that ugly note.”They came out of the dark in a thin line. Not a war party. What was left. Wounded on carts. Children half asleep. Packs tied wrong. The camp is walking away from its own house. The smell hit first. Smoke. Wet earth. Fear of sweat. Not a full burn. A place that had been trying to drown a light with water and dirt.Asher was at the front. Dirt on his face. A new cut on his mouth. He saw Wren first, and the look that went through him was relief with no time to last.Then he saw Pell in the grass.Then he saw me on the hard earth and the wrap at my feet.“You stayed on it,” he said.“Yes.”“Good. Do not move.” He dropped to one knee beside Wren, checked her eyes, her shoulder, the cruel bind, then stood again because there was no r

  • Rejected For My Curves. Desired By The War Alpha    Chapter 129: Under the Hall

    We did not chase him.Pell was still in the grass. The dark made his face look too still. Sable had her hands on him long after it stopped helping. She kept pressing like rhythm could argue with a blade. It could not.Ryn sat with his bad leg stretched out and his knife still in his fist, like the fight might come back if he put it down. The fold smelled like blood and dry grass and the seed’s thin iron at the edge of the hard earth.Wren leaned on me and would not sit until I made her. Her shoulder was wrong. The bind the clean units had used was cruel more than useful. Her mouth was raw from the gag. She kept looking at my feet, checking I had not moved off the hard earth.“Say it again,” Sable said. Her voice was scraped. “Under the hall.”“Under the command hall,” Wren said. “Not the roofs. I need you to hear that. We saw pale light and thought the camp was burning. It was not a fire. The light is coming up through the floor. From the old cellar line. From the dust. From the place

  • Rejected For My Curves. Desired By The War Alpha    Chapter 128: One Pace

    I did not take the pace.Ronan’s boot slid first.Not a full step. A shift. His weight leaned toward Wren, as if his body had decided before his head. The bond flared hot and scared. I caught his strap and locked my feet on the hard earth.“No,” I said.He stopped. Barely. His breath was rough. “They will cut her.”“If you step, the piece wakes. Then they do not need to cut her. They only need us off this dirt.”Wren’s eyes were still shaking her head. Stay. Stay. Stay.The Warden watched the almost-step with that mild interest. “See. The bond wants the sister too. One pace is not even your own anymore.”Sable did not talk.She had Pell’s bow. Pell could not draw it. She could.She did not aim at the Warden. Steel had already failed on him. She aimed at the clean-unit man holding the seed out like an extra hand, the bearer standing half a pace off the sour light in the Warden’s palm.The arrow went through that hand.The seed jumped.Pale light spat. The bearer screamed. The sliver hi

  • Rejected For My Curves. Desired By The War Alpha    Chapter 127: They Took Her

    I did not run to her.Every part of me wanted to. That was the point. My feet knew the steps. My body knew her weight. The tag on my arm even leaned, stupid and eager, like closeness was the same as saving.Wren’s eyes stayed on mine over the gag. She shook her head once, hard. Stay. Do not come off the dirt. A tear tracked through dust on her cheek, and she looked angry about that too.Sable’s blade was up. “How did you get her?”The Warden sounded almost bored. “After the wick brightened, your walls looked at the light. We looked at the side door. She fought. She is still breathing. That was the requirement.”Ronan’s voice was low. “Asher.”Wren made a sound through the cloth. Not a word. I could not tell if it was because he was alive or if I did not know. The not knowing sat in my stomach like a stone.The Warden smiled a little. “He is not with her. That is all you get. A camp can stand and still lose the one person you will walk toward. A camp can fall, and you would still be st

  • Rejected For My Curves. Desired By The War Alpha    Chapter 126: Cold Piece

    The wrap stayed dead on the hard earth.No hum. No paired beat. When Ronan hovered a hand over it, he pulled back and shook his head. The clothes looked ordinary now. Just dirty wrap on dirt. That made it worse. I had gotten used to it feeling like a third person in the room.“It will not wake here,” he said. “Not even a little. It is cold all the way through.”Sable looked at my arm. The black had slowed. The cloth she had finally risked was stained through, stiff where it had dried. The air over the dip still smelled faintly sour, like the beads that had sat on the ground and smoked.“And that.”“It still hurts,” I said. “It is not matching the scar the same way. This ground broke the easy pair. I can feel the skip.”Pell’s eyes were half shut. His skin looked gray in the last light. “So we have a lever. Say how we use it before I sleep and miss the plan.”I stared at the cold piece. At my mother’s fallen stones, dull and small. At the empty fold that had no walls, only hard earth a
