NEVAEH

The 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 i

  • THE ALPHA'S FIERY FATE    CHAPTER 24: The Door Between Us

    KANE The night feels alive. Every breath I take drags smoke through my lungs. Every heartbeat thrums with the weight of the curse clawing its way up my spine. The chains bite into my wrists, silver burning through skin and fur as my body fights itself. I can taste iron in my mouth. The full moon presses against the world like an open wound, spilling light through the cracks in the old walls of the east wing. The mansion hums with silence—no footsteps, no whispers, no reminders of the people I’ve locked out. Very good. No one should see me like this. I dig my claws into the floorboards, muscles convulsing under the strain. My wolf, Kian, snarls within, a roar of need and fury that shatters whatever control I have left. Let me out. His voice ripples through my mind, primal and commanding. She’s close. I can feel her. “No” I rasp, jaw tightening. My body trembles, sweat and blood dripping down my arms. “She can’t be here. She mustn’t.” But Kian doesn’t listen. The wolf never

  • THE ALPHA'S FIERY FATE    CHAPTER 23: The Pull Of The Moon

    The halls are too quiet today. Every step I take echoes against the stone walls like a warning. The full moon is nearly here, though I haven’t checked. I can feel it. Deep in my bones, in the way my pulse beats too fast for no reason, in the sudden ache curling low in my stomach. It’s strange, foreign. My skin tingles like it’s alive, aware of something I can’t name, something I’m not supposed to feel. I pause at the top of the staircase, eyes scanning the darkness. Kane isn’t anywhere. Not in the common hall. Not in the training yard. Not even in the library, which is usually his refuge. My chest tightens. The absence feels… wrong. I shouldn’t care. I tell myself that, but my body disagrees. My fingers twitch at my sides, and a restless heat coils low, like a warning, like a nudge I can’t explain. I feel it in the pull of my heart, in the quickening of my breath. Someone is missing, and it’s him. I move cautiously, steps soft on the polished stone, the familiar scent of the mansi

    KANEShe’s asleep on her bed, curled in on herself like she’s trying to vanish. Like the words they threw at her are still clinging to her skin.I haven’t moved for an hour.I’m just… watching.Her hair spills across the pillow like ink. She breathes in soft, fragile waves, one hand tucked beneath her cheek. There’s a faint crease between her brows, even in sleep—like she’s still bracing for impact.She fought so hard not to cry today. Didn't flinch when they called her a mutt. A ghost. Less than them.But now, with her guard down, she looks like the girl who nearly shattered in front of me.And I let it happen.I should’ve stopped them sooner. Should’ve stood beside her the second they started snarling.But I needed them to show their teeth. I needed her to see who they really are.Still… I regret how much it cost her.I brush my knuckles lightly over her arm. She doesn’t stir.But my wolf does.He’s restless. Whining inside me like he knows we’re standing on a ledge, one step from l

    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

    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

    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.
