The Claiming

last update Data de publicação: 2026-09-30 06:37:13

Adrian did not remember the drive to the hospital. He remembered Harmony’s blood on his hands, on his shirt, beneath his fingernails. He remembered the paramedics pulling her away from him and the terrible moment when her fingers slipped from his. After that, everything blurred into fluorescent lights, forms, questions, and the knowledge that the mate bond was still there but growing weaker by the minute.

  • Seven-Day Claiming   New Scent

    One Year LaterBy the seventh person, Harmony knew something was wrong.“Welcome home, Luna.”Harmony smiled at the woman passing her in the main house hallway.“Thank you.”The woman smiled back. Then sniffed. Harmony stopped. The woman kept walking. Harmony looked after her. That made seven.She had been back at Calder Ridge for less than fifteen minutes after spending a month in London, one of the longest stretches she and Adrian had spent apart since the claiming.So far, nearly every wolf she encountered had greeted her warmly, glanced at her strangely, inhaled, and then either smiled, giggled, or suddenly found the floor extremely interesting.Harmony lifted the collar of her coat and sniffed it. Nothing. Maybe airplane smell. She sniffed her hair. Also nothing. She had showered that morning. She was almost certain.“Harmony!”Margot crossed the entrance hall toward her. Harmony smiled with relief. Finally. A normal person. Well. A relatively normal person who happened to turn i

  • Seven-Day Claiming   Home

    Harmony had been cleared to walk. Adrian apparently considered that a suggestion.“I can walk.”“I know.”“Then put me down.”“No.”Harmony looked up at him from where she was currently being carried across the front porch of the main house.“The doctor specifically said walking is good for me.”“The doctor is human.”Harmony stared at him. “You are aware the humans are the ones who put me back together?”“I am extremely grateful to them.”“And yet?”“I’m still carrying you.”Harmony sighed. Two weeks earlier, she might have argued harder. Today, she let her head fall against his shoulder instead.She was tired. Not the frightening, hollow exhaustion of the hospital, but the ordinary fatigue of a body that was still healing. The incision in her side pulled when she moved too quickly, and she had discovered that there were an astonishing number of muscles involved in simply standing upright that she had never appreciated before.Adrian carried her through the front door.

    Adrian did not remember the drive to the hospital. He remembered Harmony’s blood on his hands, on his shirt, beneath his fingernails. He remembered the paramedics pulling her away from him and the terrible moment when her fingers slipped from his. After that, everything blurred into fluorescent lights, forms, questions, and the knowledge that the mate bond was still there but growing weaker by the minute.Isabel sat beside him in the waiting room while Colton and Brenden stayed nearby. No one spoke much. Adrian had refused the clean shirt Rosalind sent from Calder Ridge. Harmony’s blood had dried dark across the front of the one he wore, and some irrational part of him could not bear to remove it. It was proof that she had still been alive when he held her.When the doctor finally appeared through the double doors, Adrian was on his feet.“Harmony Ellis?”“Yes.”“Are you family?”Adrian hesitated for only a second. “I’m her fiancé.”Isabel looked at him, but said nothing.The doctor n

  • Seven-Day Claiming   Check Mate

    “You wanted my attention.”Every head in the warehouse turned. Adrian stood in the doorway. Harmony had never seen him look like that. He was not shouting. He had not shifted. He did not storm into the room with claws or teeth or the uncontrolled rage Balric had promised would come.He simply stood there, shoulders squared, eyes fixed first on Harmony and then on the red mark spreading across her cheek. Something changed in his face. Harmony felt it through the bond. Rage. So violent and immediate that her breath caught.His wolf surged beneath it, demanding blood, demanding Harmony, demanding that every man in the room who had touched her cease to exist. Adrian did not move.Balric smiled.“There he is.”Adrian’s gaze settled on him.“You have my mate.”“And you came exactly as I knew you would.”“No.” Adrian stepped into the warehouse. “I came exactly as she knew I would.”Balric’s smile faltered. Adrian looked at Harmony again. She was frightened. He could feel it now that he was c

  • Seven-Day Claiming   Worlds Colliding

    Harmony had been in the trunk long enough to lose track of direction. The road changed beneath her several times. Smooth pavement gave way to rougher asphalt, then gravel. Every bump drove her shoulder into the side of the compartment while the smell of gasoline and old carpet mixed with the cold air leaking somewhere around the seal.Her smartwatch was still connected. Barely. Harmony kept her wrist close to her mouth and spoke quietly whenever the noise of the vehicle covered her voice.“We left the main road a few minutes ago. I think we’re on gravel now.”The dispatcher answered through the tiny speaker, her voice breaking beneath static.“I’m still with you, Harmony.”Harmony closed her eyes. That voice had become the most comforting sound in the world. Then the vehicle slowed. Harmony held still. Outside, something mechanical roared to life. A saw. Then another sound. Metal striking wood. Heavy machinery somewhere farther away. She inhaled. Fresh-cut pine.“Logging,” she whisper

  • Seven-Day Claiming   Find Her

    Adrian had read the same paragraph six times.He sat behind the desk in his office at the main house, one hand resting against a financial report while the other tapped an increasingly irritated rhythm against the wood.Harmony had wanted space.He had agreed to give it to her.Apparently agreeing and being good at it were entirely different things.His wolf had been restless since she left Calder Ridge that morning. Not frightened. Just displeased. Pacing somewhere beneath Adrian’s skin, demanding that they go find their mate, follow her scent through town, sit outside whatever café she chose until she was ready to return.Adrian had ignored him.Harmony had asked him to trust her.So he worked.Or attempted to.He looked at the clock.She should have checked in by now.Adrian reached for his phone.Then pain struck.Not physical pain.Fear.It slammed through the bond so suddenly that Adrian doubled forward, one hand clutching his chest.Harmony.His wolf exploded inside him.Find h
