THE ALPHA'S FIERY FATE CHAPTER 30: A Wolf Made To Sleep
I don’t know how long I’ve been walking. The forest is wrong. The trees lean in too close, branches twisting like fingers that forgot how to let go. Fog clings to my ankles, cold and wet, and every time I take a step the ground feels softer than it should, like it’s breathing. I keep calling out, but my voice comes back thin, swallowed by the mist before it can travel far. “Kane?” Nothing. My throat is raw. My legs ache. I don’t remember how I got here, only that one moment I was floating in darkness, distant chants echoing somewhere far away, and the next I was falling through gray into this place. I wrap my arms around myself. The air smells like wet earth and something sweeter, almost like night-blooming jasmine. It should be comforting. It isn’t. I keep moving because standing still feels worse. The path, if you can call it that, narrows until I’m brushing leaves with my shoulders. Then it opens suddenly into a small clearing. Moonlight spills down through a gap in the can
THE ALPHA'S FIERY FATE CHAPTER 29: Too Close To The Fire
The diner’s neon sign flickers outside like it’s on its last breath. I’ve been staring at the same cold french fry for twenty minutes, phone face down on the table like it personally betrayed me. No new messages. No missed calls. Just the same empty thread of texts I sent Nevaeh three days ago: “Are you alive?” “Blink twice if you need rescue.” “Seriously, I’m about to file a missing person report with your Funko Pop as evidence.” Nothing. I push the plate away. The waitress, same one who’s been here since I was sixteen, refills my coffee without asking. I murmur thanks and wrap my hands around the mug just for something warm to hold. The bell over the door jingles. I don’t need to look up to know who it is. That walk, confident, a little too swaggering, like he owns the cracked linoleum. Eldric slides into the booth across from me without asking. “You look like someone stole your last marshmallow” he remarks, stealing one of my fries. I don’t even fight him for it. “And you
THE ALPHA'S FIERY FATE CHAPTER 28: When The Thread Thins
The fog rolls in thicker as I wrap Nevaeh in the thickest blanket I can find from her room, a heavy wool thing that smells faintly of cedar from the closet. She is still out, her breathing steady but too damn shallow, like she is barely holding on. Four days. Elias poked and prodded, muttered about energy thresholds and bond overload, but nothing has changed. Her cheeks are hollower now, skin pale as milk. I cannot wait anymore. The pack doctor is out of his depth. This is goddess territory. Curse territory. Elara’s territory.I scoop her up carefully, one arm under her knees, the other supporting her back. She is light, too light, like the drain has already hollowed her out. I carry her down the back stairs, avoiding the main halls where pack eyes might catch us. Lyall meets me at the garage door, quiet, no questions, just hands me the keys to the old Jeep.The bike would not work for this. I thought about it for a second, the roar of the engine cutting through the woods like always,
THE ALPHA'S FIERY FATE CHAPTER 27: The Cost Of Proximity
Nevaeh’s head lolls against my shoulder as I carry her down the corridor, her body slack in a way that twists my stomach. She weighs almost nothing, but the way her arms hang loose, the way her breathing stays shallow and even, feels heavier than anything I have ever hauled.I do not stop to think. I just move.West wing. My rooms. The one place no one enters unless I order them in myself.The hallway stretches too long, boots cracking against marble like gunshots in the quiet morning. A couple of maids scurry out of sight when they catch my face. Smart.I kick the suite door open with the toe of my boot, step inside, and ease her onto the bed.The sheets are still tangled from last night. I did not sleep much. It does not matter. I pull the duvet over her legs anyway, careful not to jar the bruises I know are hidden beneath that green dress.Her face looks smaller against the dark pillowcase. Lips parted just enough to breathe. No color in her cheeks. No flutter beneath her eyelids.
THE ALPHA'S FIERY FATE CHAPTER 26: Breakfast In Venom
The morning light hurts more than it should.I step into the dining hall just after dawn, the scent of fresh bread, butter melting on warm rolls, and coffee brewed dark and bitter hitting me like a slap. The long table stretches out, empty except for the end where Nevaeh always sits alone.She’s there now, back straight, fork moving in slow, measured arcs between her plate and her mouth. Today she’s chosen a high necked dress the color of deep green, sleeves tugged down to cover her wrists, collar buttoned to her throat. Hiding. The fabric is too heavy for late summer, but I know why. Beneath it, the bruises I left last night are spreading. Purple fingerprints blooming across her hips. Crescent gouges where my claws bit too deep before I pulled them back. The small split on her lower lip is scabbed over, dark against her pale skin. She moves carefully, like every shift of her body reminds her exactly where the pain lives.She doesn’t look up when I enter. Doesn’t startle. Doesn’t ackn
THE ALPHA'S FIERY FATE CHAPTER 25: Her Scent, My Silence
KANE The lunge happens fast, too fast for me to stop it. I crash into her, arms wrapping around her waist like steel bands, lifting her off the floor. Nevaeh gasps, the sound sharp and small against my chest. I slam her back against the stone wall, not gentle, not careful, just raw momentum and the beast screaming inside me to pin her, to keep her. Her head knocks back with a dull thud that makes my ears ring even over the roar in my skull. Plaster dust drifts down like slow snow. Her bare feet kick once, twice, uselessly, heels scraping air before she goes still, pinned. “Kane, please.” Her voice cracks. Tiny. Terrified. It slices through the haze for half a second. I snarl, teeth bared inches from her throat. My claws dig into her hips, fabric bunching under my fingers, and I feel the first warm seep of blood where the tips break skin. Her nightdress is thin, soaked with sweat and now with something darker. Her hands push at my chest, weak, trembling shoves that do nothing agai
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 moo
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, fore
THE ALPHA'S FIERY FATE CHAPTER 22: Born To Burn
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
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 m
