Sinister Storm Mated to Brittney
Lucas POVBreakfast with my parents was silent like it always is.Not the comfortable kind of silence, but the kind that made your skin itch. The type that warned you something was coming—you didn’t know from where yet.I sat at the end of the long mahogany table, a fork in one hand, a glass of orange juice in the other. My eggs were untouched, and I didn’t care. My mother was across from me, gently stirring her tea with shaky hands. I could feel her glancing at me from time to time, like she wanted to speak but didn’t know how. My mother has always been a timid woman, scared of my father and scared to counter his words and actions.Then there was my father.Professional ruiner of mornings.He was sitting at the head of the table. His hands were folded, and for once, he wasn’t barking orders or criticizing my posture. He was watching me. Quietly. That was even worse.“You’ve been quiet lately,” he said suddenly. His voice was smooth, with an undertone of suspicion lying beneath it.
Sinister Storm Driving me insane.
“Wait!” I whispered shouted as he made to take the side entrance. He paused and looked up at me with a questioning gaze.The second our eyes met, the bond slammed back into place—tight, searing, and gut-wrenching. It knocked the air from my lungs.“What is it?” He asked “I just remembered the side entrance is locked. Wait for me, I'm coming to you.” I said.He nodded as his hand moved, a subtle flick of his fingers toward the ground. Come down.I stood at my window, my heart racing. I should’ve called the guards. Should’ve shouted, should’ve done anything but what I was about to do.But I didn’t. For the first time I was about to damn all consequences and do as I pleased.I moved like a ghost through my own house. Years of sneaking out had made me an expert. I avoided the squeaky stairs near the hall, ducked beneath the windows where guards were posted. The front door was nothing
Sinister Storm You missed me
Ryder POVIt was Midnight and the woods were eerily quiet. It was almost like the forest was holding its breath. I leaned against the gnarled old oak, arms crossed, trying not to look like I’d been pacing for ten minutes straight.Then I heard footsteps, quick and loud.Kael.He slipped out from between the trees like a shadow and tossed a glance around before speaking. “You came alone?”“Always,” I said. “Didn’t want anyone following me, especially not with the way Bennett’s been… twitchy.”Kael exhaled through his nose, looking grim. “Yeah. Same over here.”We stood in silence for a beat, just listening to the breeze rattle through the leaves.“Heard anything?” I finally asked.“Bits and pieces,” Kael said, pulling his hood back. “Your Alpha’s father Dominic. He’s in deep with someone. I don’t have names yet, but he was talking about the mate bond. About using it. Manipulating it. Said Lucas needed to be kept under control, or—his words, not mine ‘put down.’”I swore under my breat
Sinister Storm Say you’re mine
Serafina Pov. The Violet mist rose from the stone bowl, curling into the air like a serpent tasting the magic. I stirred slowly, the pestle moving in careful circles. Moonstone dust shimmered within the potion, glowing softly under the flickering candlelight. “Patience,” I whispered. The corrupted bond was progressing nicely, faster than I had anticipated. The bond was fraying. I saw it unravel in my projection mirror. Lucas twitching in his sheets, Bennett’s heartbeat spiking mid-dream. The corruption spell was soaking deep now, twisting their connection into something volatile. Something feral.I added two drops of nightshade oil, then a final pinch of black salt.The vision sharpened.I moved to the altar, lifted a thin strand of Lucas Storm’s hair from its silk wrapping. Acquired at great risk, of course—someone had died for it. I didn’t even remember their name. Only the value of what they’d given me.I dropped the hair into the potion and watched it dissolve. It hissed
Sinister Storm You're grounded
RYDERMy phone buzzed with a text message.Unknown number: Need to meet. Urgent. Bennett in danger-K I stared at the message wondering what might have possessed Kael to text me that way. He never reached out directly on the phone. He prefers to catch a person unawares, making it his life goal to frustrate me. And he also never uses dramatic words like “urgent” or “danger.”Bennett was in the kitchen pacing around restlessly like a caged Alpha wolf. He has been like this since last night, refusing to settle down or relax. He hadn't slept and hadn't eaten. And he sure as hell hadn't talked about it. “You need to eat something,” I said, sliding my phone into my back pocket. He was a few feet away from me so he thankfully hadn't noticed the message.“I'm not hungry.” “When was the last time you had a full meal?” He shot me a glare sharp enough to melt ice. “When was the last time you did
Sinister Storm Better move fast
LUCAS I stood in the ceremonial circle but I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. The crowd was frozen, their faces blank, their lips moving without a sound. Bennett stood alone at the center, blood soaking through the front of his ceremonial robes. His crown sat crooked on his head. He looked at me and there was no light in his eyes, he looked like life was slipping out of him.I opened my mouth to call his name— The sound of my bedroom door slamming open jerked me wide awake. Kael stood in the doorway looking tense.“Do you ever knock” I groaned, yanking the blanket over my head. “I swear Kael, if this is about training—““We need to talk,” he said, his voice clipped and sharp. “Now.” Nothing good ever came after that sentence. No one ever said we need to talk and followed it with you won the lottery or turns out,we’re not cursed after all. I squinted at him. His brows were furrowed,
