Grace's POV

Seven days. Seven days of stumbling through forests, sleeping in hollow logs, and drinking from streams that might or might not be safe. Seven days of running on nothing but the stubborn refusal to die that seemed to be the only thing left of my father's legacy.

My feet were bloody and blistered inside my worn sneakers, and my clothes hung loose on a frame that had been too thin to begin with. The last of my food had run out two days ago, and I'd been surviving on berries and roots that my father had taught me to identify during our camping trips.

*At least some of his lessons stuck,* I thought grimly as I forced one foot in front of the other.

I'd been heading northeast, following half-remembered directions from conversations I'd overheard years ago. My mother had family somewhere in the mountains—her father, who'd cut ties with her when she mated outside his pack. I'd never met him, wasn't even sure he was still alive, but it was the only destination I could thin

  • Shattered Mate Bond   Chapter 27 Book 2 Aiden and Sera

    Shattered Mate Bond: Book 2 The Bigger PictureSera pov I sat in the hospital bed, my hands wrapped around a cup of tea that Grace had brought, and tried to process what Aiden was telling me. "So it's not over," I said quietly. Not a question. A statement of the reality I could see written all over his face. "No." He sat on the edge of my bed, his hand finding mine, his thumb stroking across my knuckles in that soothing pattern he'd developed. "Thomas wasn't working alone. He had contacts in three other packs—wolves who share his ideology about pack hierarchy, about omega roles, about—" He stopped, jaw clenching. "About me," I finished. "About omegas like me who mate above our station." "You didn't mate above anything," Aiden growled, his eyes flashing gold. "The Moon Goddess chose us for each other. There's no hierarchy in that." "But they don't see it that way." I took a sip of tea, trying to warm the cold spreading through my chest. "They see me as a threat. As someone disru

    Shattered Mate Bond: Book 2 VigilAiden pov The medical wing was too quiet. Just the steady beep of Sera's heart monitor, the soft hum of equipment, the whisper of her breathing as she slept off the last effects of the sedative. Dr. Chen had assured me she'd be fine—no permanent damage, the tranquilizer dose was strong but not lethal, she just needed rest. But fine wasn't good enough. She shouldn't be here at all. Shouldn't have a fresh bandage on her ribs where Thomas's knife had cut her. Shouldn't have bruises forming on her throat from his arm. Shouldn't have experienced yet another traumatic attack that would haunt her nightmares for months. My wolf paced restlessly beneath my skin, snarling and snapping, barely contained. He wanted blood. Wanted to hunt down every single conspirator still alive and tear them apart. Wanted to find anyone who'd ever thought threatening our mate was acceptable and make them suffer. The fact that I'd already killed Thomas wasn't enough. Not

    Shattered Mate Bond: Book 2 The Trap Springs Sera pov The garden was beautiful in the moonlight—roses blooming despite the autumn chill, the fountain trickling softly, fairy lights strung between the trees casting everything in a warm, deceptive glow. The monthly pack social was in full swing inside the pack house, music and laughter drifting through the open windows. And I sat alone on a stone bench, wearing the pale pink dress Grace had chosen because it made me look "soft and vulnerable"—perfect bait. Except I wasn't alone. Not really. Aiden was twenty feet away, partially hidden by a trellis covered in climbing ivy, his eyes never leaving me. Jake was positioned near the fountain, pretending to be on his phone. Henderson had guards scattered throughout the garden, all in civilian clothes, all watching. But to anyone observing, I looked isolated. Unprotected. An easy target. My heart hammered so hard I was certain everyone could hear it. The mate bond thrummed with A

    Shattered Mate Bond: Book 2 Four: Escalation Three more letters in four days. Aiden pov Each one more graphic than the last. More detailed in its descriptions of how they planned to hurt Sera. More specific about when and where they were watching her. *I saw you in the omega sector yesterday. That blue dress made you an easy target. Next time, I won't just watch.* *Your guards can't protect you forever. Everyone sleeps eventually. Even alphas.* *You should have died on that roof. Don't worry—I'll finish the job. Slowly.* The latest one had arrived this morning, tucked into the Luna's private correspondence box—a location that should have been impossible to access without security clearance. Someone with inside knowledge. Someone with authority. I stood in Dad's office, staring at the collection of letters spread across his desk like evidence of my failure. Four death threats in less than a week. Four times someone had gotten close enough to deliver them despite our inc

    Shattered Mate Bond: Book 2 Three: Protective Fury**Aiden pov I was going to rip someone apart. Not metaphorically. Not as an empty threat. I was literally going to shift and tear into whoever thought they could threaten my mate and walk away alive. The rage coursing through my veins was barely contained, my wolf snarling and snapping at my control. Every muscle in my body was tense, coiled, ready to hunt. My canines kept threatening to extend, my eyes flickering gold without my permission. But I couldn't let Sera see the full extent of my fury. She sat on the couch in Dad's private quarters—our temporary home until the threat was eliminated—curled into a tight ball with her arms wrapped around her knees. She'd been like that for the past hour, barely speaking, just staring at nothing while fear radiated through the mate bond. Mom had left ten minutes ago to coordinate with the omega sectors, ensuring everyone knew to report suspicious activity. Dad and Jake were out with the

  • Shattered Mate Bond   Chapter 22 Book 2 Aiden and Sera

    Shattered Mate Bond: Book 2 Old Wounds, New ThreatsSera pov Two months. Two months since Brittany's execution. Two months since I'd stood in front of the pack and exposed every painful detail of my abuse. Two months of healing, of Luna training with Grace, of slowly learning to walk through the pack house without flinching at shadows. Two months of peace. Until today. I stood in the pack house mail room, a letter trembling in my good hand—the cast had finally come off last week—staring at words that made my blood turn to ice. *You think you're safe now that the bitch is dead? You're not. You never will be. Omegas like you don't deserve to breathe the same air as true pack wolves. Watch your back, Luna. Because I'm watching you. And when you least expect it, I'll finish what Brittany started.* The paper was standard, the handwriting printed to avoid identification, the envelope postmarked from within the pack territory. Someone local. Someone close. Someone who wanted me dea
