Chapter 125

Nyx

"Because he used his death to give me you," I explained. "And that's not the action of someone who blamed you for his situation, that's the action of someone who saw potential in a frightened human and chose to transform that fear into strength."

"You really believe that?" Alex asked.

"I have to," I admitted. "Because if I don't believe my father's death had purpose then I'll drown in grief and never surface."

We fell asleep still tangled together, and I dreamed of a man I'd never met who had my eyes and my stubborn jaw, a man who smiled sadly and whispered words I couldn't quite hear before fading into mist.

When I woke the next morning I felt hollowed out and raw but also somehow more settled, like finally knowing the truth about my father's fate had given me permission to grieve properly instead of holding onto desperate hope that had been slowly killing me.

"We need to tell Lucien," I said while sitting up. "Need to tell him what we learned about Karl and about how

  • SHADOWBORN: The Rise Of The Dragon Wolf    LIFE ISN'T FAIR

    Chapter 135Nyx"Yes," Ryan said simply. "That's exactly what it requires."Alex turned away from them and I watched his shoulders shake while he struggled with emotions too big to contain, watched him trying to find some way around what his brothers were asking without finding any path that led to safety."What if something goes wrong?" he asked while his voice came out small and broken. "What if I bite you and you die screaming and I have to watch? How am I supposed to live with that?""What if something goes right?" Ryan countered. "What if we survive and become strong enough to protect our families? Isn't that possibility worth the risk?""Not to me," Alex said. "Not when the cost might be losing you.""You're going to lose us anyway if you don't do this," Liam said while his voice gentled. "Either to wolves who come back to finish what they started, or to the guilt of knowing you could have given us a fighting chance and chose not to.""That's not fair," Alex protested while turn

  • SHADOWBORN: The Rise Of The Dragon Wolf    THAT'S RISKY

    Chapter 134Nyx"That's risky," I said before anyone could respond to Alex's suggestion. "Adrian has an entire pack at his command and we'd be outnumbered.""But we'd have the element of surprise," Ryan pointed out while his mind was clearly already working through strategies. "He's expecting you to run or hide, not come straight at him.""My family wouldn't come with us," Alex said firmly while his protective instincts flared through our bond. "It's too dangerous.""That's exactly why we need to be stronger," Ryan said while exchanging looks with Liam and Jayce that suggested they'd already been thinking about this. "Which brings me to what I actually wanted to ask.""What?" Alex asked warily.Ryan took a deep breath and I watched him steel himself for what he was about to say, watched him square his shoulders the way people did when they knew they were about to suggest something controversial."Can you bite us?" he asked bluntly. "Turn us into wolves like you so we can actually prot

  • SHADOWBORN: The Rise Of The Dragon Wolf    THAT SOUNDS MORE LIKE A HERO

    Chapter 133Nyx"Something that just fought off five... what?... Wolves? to protect us," Ryan corrected. "That sounds more like a hero than a monster to me."I felt Alex's shock, felt him struggling to accept that his family might not reject him completely, and I moved to his side while taking his hand in mine."I'm sorry," I said while looking at each of them. "I'm sorry my presence brought danger to your door and I'm sorry you had to find out this way.""Who are you exactly?" Daniel asked while his eyes tracked the fading scales on my arms. "You're not just a wolf like Alex.""I'm half dragon," I admitted. "My mother was a dragon princess and my father was a werewolf, which makes me something that probably shouldn't exist.""And the grave Alex mentioned," Ryan said while pieces clearly clicking together in his mind. "The one he wanted to show you, was that your father?""Yes," I confirmed while gratitude flooded through me that at least one of Alex's brothers was smart enough to con

  • SHADOWBORN: The Rise Of The Dragon Wolf    THAT'S WHY YOU LEFT

    Chapter 132NyxAlex reacted instantly while shifting mid-movement and throwing himself between me and the threat, and his own wolf emerged with protective fury that shook the walls and made the narrow bed crack beneath us.The attacking wolf snarled and lunged forward but I was already moving, already letting my dragon fire rise to meet the threat even as my body struggled to shift while still tangled in sheets and Alex's protective stance."Stay behind me," Alex's wolf growled but I pushed past him because this wasn't just his fight and I wouldn't cower while danger threatened us both.Fire erupted from my hands and caught the wolf across its flank, sending it stumbling backward with a yelp of pain and surprise, and through the broken window I could see more shapes moving in the darkness outside."There are more," I shouted while my dragon scales rippled across my skin in patches. Shifting felt like a chore I do everyday now, I do it by instinct. "At least five of them circling the

    Chapter 131NyxThe word hung in the air and I watched Alex's entire family freeze while their expressions shifted from welcoming curiosity to something closer to alarm."A grave?" his mother repeated slowly while her eyes searched Alex's face. "What grave? Whose grave?"Alex's jaw tightened and I felt panic ripple through our bond as he realized his mistake, realized he'd said something that would require explanations he wasn't ready to give. I squeezed his hand in what I hoped was reassurance even as my own heart raced with anxiety about how to fix this."Actually," Alex said while his voice came out too casual in a way that made the attempt at deflection obvious. "Never mind that right now, why are you all here anyway? I thought you'd scattered to your own homes by now."His brothers exchanged glances that suggested they knew he was deliberately changing the subject, but his eldest brother Marcus spoke anyway while something sad flickered across his features."It's Dad's anniversa

  • SHADOWBORN: The Rise Of The Dragon Wolf    A GRAVE?

    Chapter 130Nyx"You have me," he promised while helping me remove the shirt. "You've always had me."His skin was warm beneath my fingers and I traced the lines of muscle and scars while relearning the geography of his body, while reminding myself that this was real and solid when so much else felt ephemeral."Your turn," Alex said while reaching for my own clothing.He undressed me slowly, reverently, like I was something precious that might break if handled too roughly, and the care in his touch made fresh tears gather in my eyes."Don't cry," Alex murmured while kissing the tears away. "Please don't cry.""I can't help it," I admitted. "Everything is just so overwhelming and you're the only thing keeping me from completely falling apart.""Then I'll keep holding you," Alex promised. "For as long as you need me to."He laid me back on the bedroll and followed me down, and when our bodies finally pressed together without barriers I felt something settle in my chest that had been jan
