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    YOU'RE STALLING

    Chapter 139Nyx"That's your wolf," Alex explained. "It's part of you now, another aspect of yourself that you'll need to learn to work with rather than against.""Does it ever feel natural?" Ryan asked while looking at his youngest brother. "Or is it always this weird split between human and animal?""It gets more natural," Alex promised. "Eventually the two sides integrate enough that you stop thinking of them as separate, but it takes time and practice.""Time I don't have if Adrian sends more wolves," Ryan pointed out. "I need to learn fast.""You will," I assured him. "We'll start training tomorrow, basic control exercises to help you manage the wolf and access its abilities without losing yourself.""Tomorrow," Ryan repeated while exhaustion suddenly swamped his features. "Can I sleep until then? Because I feel like I could sleep for a week.""Sleep is good," Alex said while guiding him back to the bed. "Your body needs rest to finish integrating the changes, don't fight it."Ry

  • SHADOWBORN: The Rise Of The Dragon Wolf    BARELY LEFT HIS SIDE

    Chapter 138NyxRyan slept for most of the following day while his body continued processing the transformation, and we took turns sitting with him to monitor any changes or complications that might arise from the bite.Alex barely left his side and I watched him study every breath Ryan took, every twitch of muscle beneath skin, every flicker of movement behind closed eyelids like he could somehow will his brother through the transformation by sheer force of observation."You need to rest," I said quietly while the afternoon sun streamed through the boarded-up windows. "You've been awake for over thirty hours.""I can't rest," Alex said while his eyes never left Ryan's face. "Not until I know for sure he's going to be okay.""He's going to be okay," I insisted while moving to stand behind him and rest my hands on his shoulders. "His vitals are strong, his healing is accelerated, all the signs point to successful transformation.""But we don't know that for certain," Alex argued while

  • SHADOWBORN: The Rise Of The Dragon Wolf    HOW LONG UNTIL WE KNOW?

    Chapter 137Nyx"How long until we know?" Liam asked while hovering anxiously nearby."Hours at minimum," I said. "Maybe days, the transformation doesn't happen all at once.""What do I do?" Ryan asked while sweat already beaded on his forehead. "How do I help my body accept the change?""Try to stay calm," I suggested. "Fighting it will only make the process more painful and potentially less successful.""Calm," Ryan repeated with a slightly hysterical laugh. "Sure, I'll just stay calm while my body rewrites itself.""I'm here," Alex said while moving back to his brother's side. "I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere.""Promise?" Ryan asked while his voice came out small."Promise," Alex confirmed. "Whatever happens, you're not going through this alone."The next few hours were brutal to witness as Ryan's body began processing the bite and fighting the transformation, he alternated between shivering with cold and burning with fever while his brothers and mother took turns sitting

  • SHADOWBORN: The Rise Of The Dragon Wolf    RYAN SCREAMED AND TRIED TO PULL AWAY

    Chapter 136NyxAlex stood there wrestling with impossible choices while tears continued falling, and I felt his anguish through our bond like it was my own pain."I need to think," he finally said. "Need time to process this before I make a decision.""You don't have much time," I said gently. "Your brothers are determined and if you take too long they might do something rash.""Like what?" Alex asked."Like trying to get themselves bitten by wolves who aren't you," I suggested. "Like putting themselves in danger deliberately to force the issue.""They wouldn't," Alex protested but his voice lacked conviction."Wouldn't they?" I challenged. "Ryan has a family to protect, he's desperate enough to try anything, and your other brothers are equally determined."Alex's face paled as he realized I was right, realized that his brothers might take matters into their own hands if he refused, and that thought seemed to terrify him even more than the idea of biting them himself."I need to talk

  • 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
