The walls down here don’t echo.

They suffocate.

Thick, damp stone. Chains soaked in old blood and wolfsbane. Every inhale burns my lungs. Every breath is a reminder that I failed.

And worse—I hesitated.

I should’ve gone for the kill when I had the chance. Should’ve ripped Alpha Zander apart when he was distracted. But I looked at her, and suddenly my body betrayed me. My wolf—traitorous bastard that he is—went still. Mute. Obsessed.

Mate.

The word still rang in my head like a damn curse.

I clenched my jaw and yanked at the iron cuffs around my wrists, ignoring the tearing of already broken skin. They had silver laced into the metal. Clever bastards.

The cell was cold. Not cold enough to numb the pain, just enough to gnaw at the edge of it. My shirt was long gone. My pants were soaked with dried blood and ash. And my back—it still stung from where they’d dragged me here after she knocked me out.

Winter.

The girl with thunder in her blood and fire in her eyes.

The girl I hated.

The girl

  • Rejected Me Once, Never Fool Me Twice   Chapter 23

    It had been a week.Seven whole days since my father looked me in the eyes—still bruised and limping—and told me not to go near the dungeon.And for seven days, I listened.Sort of.I hadn’t stepped foot near the east wing. I hadn’t asked the guards for information. I hadn’t whispered his name aloud.But in my mind? He was everywhere.In my dreams.In the shadows.In the tension that coiled tighter each time I passed the hallway that led to the dungeon.Tyron.Every night, I heard him calling for me—not with words, but with that strange pull I couldn’t shake. Like a thread tugging at my ribs, tightening just enough to keep me from forgetting. I tried to fight it, tried to keep myself busy with the aftermath of the attack.The pack was still healing. The scent of burn salve and healing roots filled the halls. Every room echoed with the sounds of recovery—groans, whispered reassurances, bedsheets shifting with restless bodies.Some of the warriors were responding well. Others still teet

    We returned under a sky that looked like it had been bruised by war—splashes of red and gray smeared across the clouds, the horizon trembling with the aftershocks of battle.The walk home was slow, silent, heavy. Blood crusted over fur and skin, dripping from torn clothing and claw marks. The copper tang hung in the air long after the last growl had faded. Not just rogue blood.Ours too.We crossed the threshold of the pack house like ghosts. Our once-safe walls, now lined with shadows. Doors creaked. Light flickered. It was too still, too quiet as if the house itself was holding its breath.Dad’s weight leaned heavily against me. His arm was looped over my shoulders, more for necessity than comfort. He was bleeding still deep punctures torn into his flank, his paw twisted from when he fell trying to protect me. His face was clenched in pain, but he didn’t make a sound.Louis walked beside us, his expression tight, jaw locked. There was a jagged tear across his chest and blood soaked

    Winter’s POVI knelt beside my father, my chest heaving, hands trembling as I pressed them against the open wound across his side. His dark fur was slick with blood, his breathing shallow but steady. My heart twisted painfully in my chest. I could barely hear anything beyond the roar of my pulse in my ears and the distant clash of teeth and claws.But the moment of quiet was ripped away when a dark shape burst through the smoke and chaos.Tyron.His massive gray wolf form launched straight toward me like a streak of lightning, eyes burning, teeth bared in a snarl. His paws barely touched the ground as he closed the distance between us.I barely had time to think.Instinct took over.I threw my palm out, power bursting from my chest, wild and violent. A shockwave of raw energy slammed into him mid-air, throwing him backward into the charred earth. Dust and rocks exploded around his crashing form.But I wasn’t relieved. Not for a second.Because as I lifted my head, I saw the chaos unfo

    Tyron’s POVThe wind was sharp tonight. Cold against my fur as I crouched in the thick branches of the oak, watching the chaos I helped create unfold beneath me.I should’ve been down there. Ripping them apart.But no. I waited. Like a predator in the shadows, calculating every move.Below, my father—the chief of the rogues, the monster they all feared—led the first assault. His massive wolf form crashed through the Crescent Moon pack’s defenses, blood staining his fangs, his roar shaking the earth. The others followed, wild and merciless, tearing through the border guards like paper.But this wasn’t victory yet.It was only the beginning.I adjusted my stance, claws gripping the bark, tail twitching once.Where are you, hybrid?My eyes scanned the battlefield, sharp and unforgiving.And there.There she was.A flash of white lightning against the dark. Winter.Her wolf form was unlike anything I'd ever seen. Large and sleek, fur like fresh snow under moonlight. A single jagged thunde

    WinterI jolted awake.Heart pounding. Skin clammy.It wasn’t a dream this time. No lightning, no howling, no shadows chasing me through the woods.Just this… deep, bone-deep dread I couldn’t shake.I stumbled out of bed, throwing on a hoodie over my tank top and slipping into sweatpants. My bare feet slapped against the cold wooden floor as I rushed downstairs.Mom and Dad were in the kitchen, talking in hushed voices. Louis was at the back door, checking the locks, and Asher and Aria were already arguing over breakfast like it was any normal day.But it wasn’t.I could feel it in my blood.“Mom, Dad,” I said, louder than I meant to. Everyone froze and looked at me.Dad’s brow furrowed. “What is it?”I swallowed hard, trying to find the words that didn’t sound insane.“There’s something coming. I don’t know when. I don’t know how many. But something’s coming for us. I feel it.”Mom exchanged a look with Dad—quiet but sharp. That silent language they always spoke when things were bad.
