KANE

She yanks her hand from mine like my touch burns. Her brows knit, eyes flashing.

“What the hell do you mean, what am I?” she snaps.

I don’t answer right away. I just stare at the spot where her wound had been—smooth and unmarked now, like it was never there. That’s not normal. Not for someone like her.

“You shouldn’t be able to heal like that” I say quietly. “Not if you’re what everyone claims you are.”

“And what exactly is that?” Her lips twitch in a bitter smile.

“A wolfless rogue.”

She bristles. “I’m not wolfless.”

“Then prove it.” My gaze sharpens, tone hard.

She falters.

I take a step forward, close enough to feel the static rising between us.

“Mindlink her. Call to your wolf. Shift.”

Silence stretches.

Her breath hitches, and she looks down, lashes casting shadows on her cheek. Her pride fights to stay upright, but truth weighs heavier. I watch her jaw tighten as the seconds tick by. No shift. No mindlink. Nothing.

Exactly what I thought.

She’s hiding somethin

  • THE ALPHA'S FIERY FATE    CHAPTER 21: Beneath Their Fangs

    NEVAEHThe Council chamber is colder than I expected—not just from the stone walls, but from the stares boring into my skin like frostbite. I'm standing alone in the center of the half-moon table where the Elders sit like judges at a trial. My hands clench at my sides, my fingernails digging into my palms. They told me this would be a formal introduction. Instead, it’s a firing squad.“Is it true you were born to rogues?” the elder with the name Slyverick boldly written on his desk asks in an icy tone.I can tell he hates me already from his look of disgust and constant glares.“Yes” I answer, my voice steady despite the burn in my throat.“And you claim to have no wolf?”A murmur ripples through the Council before I can even speak. Elder Slyverick leans forward, grey eyes sharp. “Is it true? Are you wolfless?!”My mouth opens, but the truth chokes me. I don’t know what I am. Not really. I glance at Kane, seated behind the Elders. He’s relaxed—no, entertained. His lips curve into a sl

  • THE ALPHA'S FIERY FATE    CHAPTER 20: Close Enough To Burn

    NEVAEHI find him exactly where I expect him to be—leaning against the doorway of the training room, arms crossed, jaw tight, like the silence between us doesn't weigh a damn thing.He doesn’t even flinch when he sees me. Just nods slightly, like I’m anyone. Like I’m not the girl he left running out of that garden with a heart full of shattered pride.I stop a few feet away, arms folded across my chest, fingers digging into my sides. “So this is it? You’re just not going to talk to me?”Kane glances at me, eyes cool, distant. “You weren’t talking to me either.”“I was angry” I snap. “You were—” I exhale sharply, hating how much control he has over my mood. “You were awful. And you know it.”He shrugs. “You walked away. I assumed you needed space.”Space. Right. That’s what he calls it. “And in all that space, not once did you think to say anything? Not even a ‘hey, sorry I was an ass in the garden’?”His gaze sharpens, but his tone stays maddeningly flat. “You wanted distance. I gave

  • THE ALPHA'S FIERY FATE    CHAPTER 19: The Cosmic Collision

    ELDRICAs I push the glass door open, a wave of chemical scents slaps me in the face—hairspray, nail polish, lavender-scented something. I blink. I just want a trim. That’s all. “Welcome to Blush & Blade! Do you have an appointment?” a chirpy voice calls out. Then I see her, and my brain short-circuits. Ruby. The one with the sass, the eyes, the perfect smile. She’s in a black apron, with a comb tucked behind one ear and a fierce red lipstick that could start wars. Her eyes meet mine and narrow immediately, like a cat spotting a laser pointer. My wolf goes ballistic in my head. “It’s her!” he howls. “Mate! Definitely maybe mate! Lick her hand!” Mentally, I shove him into a corner. “We’re not licking anyone, you lunatic.” “You’ve got to be kidding me” Ruby mutters, her expression surprised. “Hi” I say, already grinning. “Nice scissors. Planning to stab me or just trim the trauma?” She groans. “Seriously? Are you stalking me again?” Again? Bold of her to assume I ever did.

  • THE ALPHA'S FIERY FATE    CHAPTER 17: What Are You?

    NEVAEH The steady thud of fists pounding into a bag echoes before I even enter. The room smells like sweat and steel, dimly lit with the kind of intensity that suits Lyall all too well. I push the door open and lean against the frame, watching him. Shirtless. Focused. Every muscle flexes as he drives another brutal punch into the bag, like he's trying to kill something that won’t die. “So this is what you’ve been hiding under all that gloom and black clothing” I say, lips curling into a smirk. He pauses, fists still, but doesn’t look at me. “You’re interrupting” he mutters, pulling off his gloves. “And you’re deflecting” I shoot back. “Not even a thank-you for the compliment?” He doesn’t move. Just stands there like a stone wall, letting the silence stretch between us. “What do you want, Nevaeh?” he finally asks, his tone stripped of warmth. I take a step inside, arms folding across my chest. “I want to understand him. Kane. Who he was before all of this. You’ve kn

  • THE ALPHA'S FIERY FATE    CHAPTER 16: The Edge Of Power

    I stagger back from the mirror, chest heaving. That voice—low and dark, like smoke curling around my thoughts—echoes in my skull.“H-hello?” I whisper aloud, but my lips feel numb, disconnected. “Are you… my wolf?”A beat of silence.Then, the voice answers again, a little softer this time. “Yes.”My knees buckle, and I fall onto the stool in front of the dressing table. My fingers tremble as I press them to my temples, grounding myself.“Where have you been? Why now?” I ask.“You weren’t ready” she murmurs, the words coiling gently around my mind. “You still aren’t. But the clock ticks, and I can’t stay quiet anymore.”I swallow thickly. “That’s not fair. Most wolves speak to their humans by eighteen. They shift. They bond. I turned twenty months ago. I’ve spent two years thinking something was wrong with me.”“You are not broken” she utters firmly. “You are bound.”I blink. “Bound? To what?”No response.“Why didn’t we shift on my birthday? Why have you stayed silent all this time?”
