POV: Araya

The pain is indescribable.

Araya's bones crack and reshape. Her skin stretches and tears. Her muscles twist and reform. Every cell in her body screams in agony as the shift takes hold.

Lucian. Araya's last conscious thought is of her son. Protect Lucian.

She barely manages to set him down gently in the snow before her body convulses completely.

Araya's back arches. Her scream becomes a howl.

Then the shift completes.

Araya stands on four legs. Her body is massive, larger than any pac

  • Rejected While Pregnant: Claimed by the Direwolf Alpha   Reunion Under Ash

    POV: LucianThe courtyard continues burning around them as Lucian and Lior navigate through rubble and bodies toward where Ronan's strike force fights against increasingly desperate vampire defenders. The smoke makes visibility poor enough that identification requires getting dangerously close before recognizing friend versus enemy.Lucian catches Lior's arm before the vampire can engage with a Direwolf warrior who's separated from the main formation, recognizing Brem's scarred features even through the haze. "That's one of ours. Don't attack.""Your people won't extend me the same courtesy," Lior points out, though the vampire lowers the blade that was raised to strike."Then stay behind me and let me handle first contact," Lucian says, already moving toward where Brem is fighting off three vampire warriors who apparently haven't gotten the message that Thornhaven's king has abandoned this battle.Lucian's claws tear through the vampires with efficiency born from the completed transf

  • Rejected While Pregnant: Claimed by the Direwolf Alpha   The Great Escape

    POV: LucianDawn approaches with the inevitability of death itself, light creeping through the cell's single barred window and marking the passage of hours that Lucian and Lior have spent chained together waiting for execution. Neither of them has slept despite exhaustion, the mate bond too aware of approaching finality to allow rest.Guards arrive an hour before dawn to prepare them for the public execution, adding ceremonial chains that are meant for display rather than actual restraint. The vampires clearly expect that between the silver-obsidian bonds already suppressing Lucian's power and Lior's apparent acceptance of death, neither hybrid will resist being led to the courtyard for final judgment.They're wrong about that assessment, though Lucian doesn't correct them yet.The transformation that's been progressing for weeks has reached a critical threshold during the night of waiting. The three bloodlines that have been fighting for dominance are finally merging completely, wolf

  • Rejected While Pregnant: Claimed by the Direwolf Alpha   Ronan's Infiltration

    POV: RonanThe vampire traps in the valley claimed three more warriors before Ronan's force found a safe path through the blood-magic wards, bringing total casualties to eight dead with another dozen wounded seriously enough to slow their progress. The losses ache but Ronan accepts them as necessary cost for reaching Thornhaven before whatever the vampires plan for Lucian becomes irreversible.Six days of hard travel through the northern passes brings them finally to Thornhaven's outer perimeter, where the fortress looms against the sky like a dark tooth grown from the mountain itself. The structure shows visible damage from the recent bloodstorm assault, with sections of wall collapsed and courtyard buildings still smoldering from fires that burned during the three-day magical siege."Whoever attacked during the bloodstorm did us a favor," Brem observes while studying the fortress through a spyglass. "The damage created breaches we can exploit instead of having to fight through main

  • Rejected While Pregnant: Claimed by the Direwolf Alpha    Betrayal in the Hall of Bones

    POV: LucianDawn breaks over Thornhaven with the bloodstorm finally dissipating, leaving the fortress battered but intact despite three days of magical assault. Lucian wakes to find Lior sitting by the window staring at nothing, the vampire's expression showing someone who has received terrible news and is still processing the implications."What happened?" Lucian asks, sitting up despite the silver-obsidian restraints making every movement uncomfortable."Kaelen recorded me confessing to breaking into restricted archives and admitting I'd defy Severan to protect you," Lior answers without looking away from the window. "He's probably presenting the evidence to the king right now."The words hit like physical blows because Lucian knows exactly what that means for both of them. Severan's hospitality was conditional on Lior maintaining apparent loyalty to Thornhaven. Open admission of treason destroys that arrangement completely."You should have lied," Lucian says. "Told Kaelen whatever

  • Rejected While Pregnant: Claimed by the Direwolf Alpha   Echoes of the Past

    POV: LiorThe bloodstorm continues raging for three days, battering Thornhaven with violence that seems designed to maximize chaos while whatever force is attacking works to breach the fortress's defenses. Lior spends most of that time helping Lucian manage power surges that keep triggering in response to the blood-magic saturating the air.But during brief periods when Lucian achieves enough control to rest, Lior escapes to Thornhaven's archives seeking information about previous Lycan-Vampyr hybrids and how they managed the transformation without destroying themselves. The texts Severan allowed access to are sanitized versions meant for general vampire education, but Lior knows the real histories are buried deeper in restricted sections.Breaking into restricted archives violates multiple fortress protocols and could get Lior executed if caught, but the alternative is watching Lucian struggle without the knowledge that might help. The choice between following rules and protecting a

  • Rejected While Pregnant: Claimed by the Direwolf Alpha   Caged Sun

    POV: LucianThree days after the public blood-tasting at the masquerade feast, Lucian's hybrid energy begins surging without warning or apparent trigger. The incomplete form will be sitting quietly in the assigned quarters when power suddenly explodes outward, shattering windows and cracking stone walls before Lucian can regain enough control to suppress it.The first surge happens during breakfast, sending plates and furniture flying across the room while Lior dives for cover behind an overturned table. The second happens that afternoon while Lucian attempts to rest, the power tearing through the bed frame and scorching the floor beneath with heat that has no natural source.By the third surge, Severan sends guards with specialized restraints designed specifically to contain supernatural power that won't respond to normal methods of control. The restraints are crafted from silver and obsidian woven together through blood-magic, creating bonds that burn against Lucian's skin while als
