Alex

I hit the training dummy again and the wood cracked under my fist, my knuckles were bleeding but they'd heal in a few minutes. Everything healed fast now.

"Again," Marcus barked. The older wolf had been assigned as my primary trainer and he didn't believe in breaks or gentleness. "You're still pulling your punches."

"I'm not," I said through gritted teeth.

"You are," Marcus said. He walked around me in a slow circle. "You're afraid of your own strength. Afraid you'll hurt someone. That fear will get you killed."

I reset my stance and hit the dummy again, harder this time. The whole post shook.

"Better," Marcus said. "Now do it fifty more times."

I wanted to argue but I'd learned that arguing with Marcus was pointless, the man had been a warrior for thirty years and he had no patience for complaints.

So I hit the dummy, over and over until my arms ached and sweat was dripping into my eyes.

I'd been training like this for days now. From sunrise until long after sunset. L

  • 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

  • SHADOWBORN: The Rise Of The Dragon Wolf    WE WERE BOTH HURTING AND MOURNING A FATHER.

    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

  • SHADOWBORN: The Rise Of The Dragon Wolf    PLEASE, ALEX, I NEED YOU

    Chapter 129NyxThree days of walking had taken its toll on both of us and by the time we made camp on the third night, my feet ached and exhaustion pulled at every muscle in my body despite the steady pace we'd maintained.Alex built a fire with practiced efficiency while I laid out our bedrolls, and we ate in comfortable silence while flames cast dancing shadows across his face that made my chest tighten with something I'd been trying to ignore since we left Silver Crescent."You're staring," Alex observed without looking up from his meal."I'm allowed to stare at my mate," I said while something defensive crept into my tone."Of course you are," Alex agreed easily. "Just pointing it out."We finished eating and cleaned up the campsite, and I found myself hyper-aware of the space between us, of how careful Alex had been to maintain distance that felt wrong after weeks of being constantly together."I'm going to sleep," Alex announced once everything was secured. "We have another ful

  • SHADOWBORN: The Rise Of The Dragon Wolf    I COULD ACTUALLY KEEP THAT PROMISE.

    Chapter 128NyxI gathered fire and lightning together the way my mother's diary had described, wove them into something that was purely mine rather than just dragon or just wolf, and when I released it the resulting blast lit up the night like a second sun.The dragon woman threw up a shield but it shattered under the impact, and she fell backward with shock written across her features."What are you?" she demanded."I'm my mother's daughter," I said. "And my father's legacy, and I won't let you hurt the people I care about."The other dragons had stopped fighting and were staring at me with expressions that ranged from fear to awe, clearly whatever I'd just done had exceeded their expectations of what a half-blood should be capable of."Impossible," the woman repeated. "Half-bloods can't access combined abilities.""This one can," I said while gathering more power. "And if you don't leave now I'll show you exactly what else I'm capable of.""You're bluffing," she tried but her voice
