~Rowan~

The knock came right when I had Areum cleaned up and tucked back against me, his body still soft and warm from the knot, breath steady on my neck like he was finally drifting off. I was halfway to sleep myself, that deep satisfied haze where everything felt right for once, when the sound hit again, sharper this time.

My whole body locked up. Growl ripped out low, vibrating through my chest hard enough Areum jerked awake.

He grabbed my arm tight. “Rowan?”

“I think there's someone,” he sa

    Rowan I burst through the main gates with Areum limp in my arms, his head lolling against my shoulder like dead weight, skin clammy and way too pale, every shallow breath he took hitting me like a punch because fuck, he looked half-gone already, that void-pain thing eating him from the inside even while he was out cold. The compound was buzzing, pack members clustered everywhere some on the steps, some spilling out from the mess hall, all staring, whispers flying fast and ugly the second they saw us. "Rowan actually did it, raided the bastards?" "Heard the Luna took the curse hit, idiot hero move." "Who's the girl? And that smug fucker trailing her like he owns the place?" I didn't stop, just barked over my shoulder at the nearest betas, "Clear the infirmary room now! Get the doc here, he's crashing hard!" One of them jumped, scrambling, "On it, alpha!" but the murmurs kept coming, louder, angrier, "We lost three good ones out there for what? A fake Luna and her babysitter?" "Yeah,

    ~Rowan~We sat there in that stuffy room for what felt like forever after he dropped his bomb about using Elara as a stand-in, me, Jace, Niki, and him hashing out the details like we were planning a heist instead of trying to save our asses from a pack meltdown, and yeah, it was tense, everyone throwing ideas back and forth, Jace cracking stupid jokes to lighten the mood but nobody really laughing because this was serious shit, life-or-death serious, and I kept glancing at Areum, his face all determined but eyes showing that flicker of hurt like he hated the idea of hiding but knew it was the only play."Alright, so Elara it is," Jace said finally, rubbing his hands together like he was excited, "but how do we get her without starting a full-blown war with her dad's pack? Because that's exactly what we don't want, right, more enemies?" I nodded, leaning back, arms crossed, "Yeah, but think about it, a mini war with them is better than civil war here, at least it's external, we can con

    AreumI sat on the edge of the bed with my hands locked together so tight my fingers hurt, staring at absolutely nothing, thinking about everything at the same time, which was my least favorite mental activity because it always ended with either a headache or me saying something unhinged out loud and Rowan giving me that look like he loved me but was also preparing for chaos.Rowan kept pacing. He paced like a man whose world was one bad sentence away from exploding, boots hitting the floor too hard, turning too sharp, muttering under his breath like the walls personally offended him.“Stop pacing,” I said.“I can’t,” he snapped.“You’re going to wear a hole in the floor.”“I’ll replace the floor.”“That’s not the point.”He stopped suddenly and looked at me, eyes sharp, jaw tight, and for a second the room felt too small for the amount of tension sitting between us.“They know,” he said.“There won’t be an issue if the Elder does not open his mouth.”I exhaled through my nose, lean

    Areum's POVI was curled up in the corner of the hall, knees to my chest, because being me meant that every five minutes the universe decided it was hilarious to put me in a position where I could either scream or pass out, and honestly, both sounded equally appealing right now. My chest was tight, my breaths coming too fast and too short, and I could feel Rowan right there beside me, his presence like a damn steel wall I wanted to cling to but also punch because panic doesn’t care about logic.The guard, yes, that idiot, the one who had eyes like a squirrel on meth and clearly no concept of personal boundaries was back, and I swear I could feel his smug grin all the way from here. He looked like he had just realized he might have actually screwed up, and I was supposed to find sympathy for him? Nope. Not today. Not ever.“Areum,” Rowan’s voice cut through the chaos, low and rough and terrifyingly calm, and I swear I almost lunged at him like a lifeline. “Look at me.”I tried. I real

    ~Areum~“Good.”“You sure?”I twisted my head, glared at him over my shoulder even though tears were running down my face now not sad tears, just overload. “If you stop I will literally murder you. Keep going.”He stared at me another second really looked. Then something shifted in his expression. Not softer. Hungrier. Like he finally understood.“Okay,” he said quietly. “Okay.”The next hit wasn’t with his hand.He doubled the belt over in his fist, snapped it once against his own palm like he was testing. The crack made me flinch.Then he brought it down across my ass.I screamed full-throated, broken. Fire streaked across skin. My whole body locked up, then shuddered hard.“Again,” I choked out.He did. Twice more. Each one landing exactly where the last one had so the pain stacked. I was shaking now, ass on fire, wrists throbbing, cock so hard it hurt worse than the belt.Rowan dropped to his knees behind me suddenly, mouth on the welts hot, wet, soothing. Licking over the marks

    ~Areum~The knot finally went down enough that I could peel myself off Rowan without feeling like my guts were being yanked out backward, but the second I tried to roll away, another cramp hit like someone kicked me square in the lower belly. Not the slow build this time straight-up vicious, made my vision tunnel and my thighs clamp together so hard I nearly crushed his dick still half-inside me.“Fuck fuck fuck,” I hissed through my teeth, curling forward until my forehead smacked his collarbone. “Not done. Not even close. Why is this heat trying to murder me today?”Rowan’s arms came around me instantly, big hands sliding up my back like he could hold the cramps in place with sheer willpower. “Breathe, Luna. I got you.” His voice was wrecked, hoarse from all the begging and groaning, but still stupidly gentle. It pissed me off how much I liked it.“Don’t ‘Luna’ me right now,” I snapped, shoving at his chest even though I didn’t actually want him to let go. “I’m not in the mood for
