Wisteria's brown and red-streaked wolf was barely recognizable beneath all the blood.

The gashes she had carved across the rogue's forelegs and back were leaking crimson steadily into her fur but the rogue hadn't gone down. It absorbed every blow like it was built for it, and when it snapped its jaws shut around Wisteria's foot the crack of the bite was sickening.

She howled.

Her hind legs fired and sent the wolf stumbling backward but it caught itself before it fell, planting its massive paws

    The Heartbeat Beneath the ThroneThe heartbeat came again. It was close enough that Zara felt it beneath her feet.Everyone in the palace courtyard went still including Arven.For the first time since he had appeared above the kingdom, the Shadow King looked uncertain.Zara tightened her grip on Kael's hand. "What is that?"The first king didn't answer, his eyes were fixed on the palace. Something that was never supposed to wake."Another heartbeat shook the floor, dust fell from the palace walls. Then the throne room doors slammed open. A wave of darkness rushed through the entrance, forcing the guards backward. Zara raised her arm to protect her face as the shadows swept past her.Kael pulled her against him.When the darkness cleared, the throne room looked nothing like it had before. The marble floor had split down the center, a crack stretched from the entrance to the throne and beneath it was a staircase.The stones were black and covered in silver markings.The first king stare

    : The Bind they wanted The bells did not stop.Their sound rolled through the kingdom, deep and relentless, sending a strange vibration through the ground beneath Zara's feet.Then Kael collapsed."Kael!" Zara dropped beside him.His hands were pressed against his chest, his face twisted with pain. Black veins spread rapidly beneath his skin, reaching his neck.The guardians immediately moved closer. "Don't touch him!" one of them shouted.But Zara ignored him, she caught Kael's face between her hands. "Look at me."His eyes opened. For one terrifying second, they were completely black. Then, his eyes flickered open."Zara," he rasped."I'm here."The darkness inside him pushed again making him dig his fingers inside the earth. "Run."She shook her head. "I'm not leaving you.""You don't understand." His voice cracked. "It's using the bond."Then Zara felt it, something sharp pulled in her chest..Something was tugging at the invisible thread connecting them.The first king stepped fo

    The Kingdom of Shadows The first thing Zara heard was screaming.It rose from above them, muffled by layers of stone but unmistakable. The kingdom was in chaos.Zara pushed herself upright, coughing as dust filled her lungs. The chamber around them trembled again, sending small pieces of rock crashing from the ceiling.Kael was already on his feet. His hand went instinctively to his side where the old wound had never completely stopped aching. His breathing was uneven, and when he looked at Zara, the black veins beneath his skin had returned.Zara's stomach dropped. "Kael.""I'm fine." "You don't look fine."He glanced at the dark lines crawling toward his wrist and quickly pulled his sleeve over them. "I'm still standing."Before Zara could respond, the first Lycan King stepped toward them. His face had lost what little calmness remained. "We have to leave."The six guardians moved immediately.The passage behind them groaned as if the mountain itself were trying to swallow the ru

    The Broken ChainThe darkness moved faster than Zara could think.One moment, Kael was standing beside her. The next minute, a wall of black smoke slammed into him."Kael!"He disappeared.Zara ran after him, but a force threw her backward. She hit the stone platform hard.For a second, she couldn't breathe. Then she heard him let out a growl.The darkness had wrapped itself around Kael's body, swallowing him from view. His silhouette shifted inside it.Zara forced herself upright.The first king shouted something, but she barely heard him. All she could see was Kael. The black veins had returned across his neck, his eyes flickered between gold and black.He was fighting, she knew he was still there somehow. "Kael!"His head snapped toward her. "Stay back." His voice was strained.The darkness laughed through him. "She won't."Kael's body jerked, his hand went to his head. "Get out."The Shadow King's voice came through his mouth. "You've already failed her once."Kael froze.Zara's

    The Price of the WolfFor several seconds, nobody moved. The words remained suspended in the chamber."Destroy the vessel's wolf."Zara stared at the symbol beneath her feet. This was her wolf. She didn't want to believe it. The thing that had been with her through every rejection, every humiliation, every moment she had been told she wasn't enough. The thought of losing it made something inside her tighten."No." Kael's answer came before she could speak. He stepped toward the Shadow King. "You don't get to decide that."The creature's red eyes shifted toward him. "I didn't." It looked at Zara. "She does."Zara hated that the ritual had been built around choice, that meant nobody could make the decision for her.The first king walked toward the platform. "There may be another way."The Shadow King laughed. "There is always another way."His gaze sharpened. "Until you discover what every other way costs."The old king ignored him, he studied the symbols."The ritual was created afte

    : The Shadow KingThe creature stepped fully out of the broken heart.The chamber seemed to shrink around it.Zara had seen darkness before. She had seen it crawl across Kael's skin, watched it take shape in the Forgotten Path, felt it move through her own body. But this was different.This darkness had a presence, it had a purpose.It stood taller than any man Zara had ever seen, its body covered in shifting black armor that seemed to be made from smoke and stone. Two red eyes burned beneath a crown of jagged bone.The air became difficult to breathe.Kael moved in front of Zara as she pushed herself upright behind him.The Shadow King tilted its head. "Still protecting her."Its voice wasn't loud, yet every word seemed to shake the chamber.Kael's grip tightened around his weapon. "You don't get to speak to her."The creature smiled. "You still believe you can keep her from me."Zara felt something cold move through her, she knew that voice from her dreams, from the visions she had,

    Zara closed the book abruptly when she couldn't take it any more. She struggled to keep her emotions in check but her frail heart betrayed her. She kept the book back in place, knowing it was fate that had made her to come across the book. She stormed back into the chamber beneath the Moonstone Pa

    "Have you lost your damn mind, Zara?!" Denice screamed at the top of her lungs. She had been awakened rudely that morning by low groans that seemed to be coming from Zara. The deep graons didn't sound lady like and Denice had to quit her sleep to find the source of the endless groans that kept her

    Zara's world began to spin. King Draven had just called her by her name; how in earth did he know her name. Scratch that, what was it he had said last before her ears began to ring and her heart began to race faster in her chest?!She didn't think she had heard him right, her wolf was growling so l

  • Rejected by my mate: Bounded by the Ruthless Lycan    Chapter 1

    The scent of pine and rain clung to the evening air as Zara stood at the edge of the Moonstone Pack’s gathering grounds with her hands clenched into fists. Her heart pounded, though not with fear—no, she had long since stopped fearing rejection. She already knew how this night would end. Before
