Twisted

He came to steal her heart. She stole his first. Julian Vane is dying. His curse burns through him like molten fire, a biological mistake that destroys his bloodline by age 25. He has five months left to live unless he finds the Aethel Stone, a gem fused with human blood that can save him. The stone is embedded in one girl’s chest. Elara Vance doesn’t know she’s a walking death sentence. All she knows is that her father’s botanical gardens are dying, her family is bankrupt, and a mysterious drifter with dark eyes and calloused hands just showed up offering to save the only thing she loves. She hires him. She trusts him. She doesn’t realize he’s the billionaire who destroyed her father’s business or that extracting the stone from her heart will kill her in the exact way her father died. Then everything changes. When feral werewolves attack her family, Julian is forced to shift revealing what he truly is. In that moment, as his beast form towers over her in the rain, Elara discovers the terrible truth: the man she’s beginning to fall for is a predator. And she’s his prey. But Julian is facing an impossible choice. The stone is keeping Elara alive. Taking it means killing her. Leaving it means watching himself burn out from the inside while she dies anyway. His family demands the stone. His curse demands her death. And his heart that cursed, failing heart demands he save her. In a dying garden where nothing should survive, Julian and Elara are bound by a werewolf contract neither fully understands. As danger closes in from all sides, they discover that the most dangerous thing isn’t the curse.

CHAPTER ONE: THE BURNING HOUR
The penthouse was too quiet.Julian Vane stood at the floor to ceiling windows on the seventy fourth floor, watching Veridian City dissolve into rain. The glass was so clean it felt like a lie like he could step through it and fall into the neon stained streets below without ever knowing the difference between inside and outside, life and ending.His left hand trembled.Not a subtle shake. A violent, involuntary spasm that made his fingers claw into the fabric of his wool trousers. He pressed his thumb against his lower lip a childhood habit, one he’d never broken despite forty years of image training and held it there until the tremor subsided into something approximating control.Six months.Dr. Aris had said it with the same tone one might use to discuss the weather. Six months, give or take. Your brother lasted three weeks past his twentieth fifth birthday before the accelerated cascade. You’re holding better. Stronger bloodline, perhaps. Or simply more denial. The physician smile

CHAPTER TWO: THE ESTATE
The truck smelled like rust and old oil, like the corpse of something that had died slowly enough to know it was happening.Julian had chosen it deliberately. A 1998 Chevrolet with a primer-gray hood and tires that had probably rolled over their last good mile three years ago. The interior was a masterpiece of deliberate deterioration cigarette burns on the upholstery that he’d added himself, a radio that only caught AM stations, a cracked windshield held together with duct tape that had yellowed into something resembling old bone.It was a costume. Nothing more. But costumes, Julian had learned long ago, were more effective than any weapon.Veridian City receded in his mirror as he drove northeast, away from the glass towers and into the older neighborhoods where the money had stopped flowing around 2008 and never quite learned to find its way back. The Vance Estate sat on fifteen acres of what used to be prestigious property now it was just isolated. The wrought iron gates were rust

CHAPTER THREE: THE SHACK
The shack was smaller than his closet at the penthouse.Julian stood in the center of the single room if you could call the eight by ten space a room and felt something twist in his chest that wasn’t the curse. The cot was exactly as Elara had promised: mostly functional, meaning the springs were shot and the mattress smelled like decades of mildew. A single bare bulb hung from the ceiling on a wire that looked like it might decide to electrocute him at any moment. The window was so crusted with grime and dead insects that it was impossible to tell if it was night or day from inside.It was perfect.Julian set his duffel bag containing nothing but spare clothes, a burner phone, and the fake ID of a man named Marcus Webb on the floor. He didn’t need much. He’d spent the last seventy two hours living in the spaces between consciousness and transformation, each night bringing fresh agony as his body cycled through its dying rhythm. The shack would be quieter than any hotel, and more impo

CHAPTER FOUR: THE FIRST DAY
The alarm on Julian’s burner phone went off at 5:47 AM.He hadn’t slept. Not really. The cot was as uncomfortable as advertised, but that wasn’t the problem. The problem was that his body was in a constant state of half-transformation the shift incomplete, hovering somewhere between human and beast, his nerves screaming with the effort of maintaining the façade. Every breath felt like swallowing broken glass. Every heartbeat was a reminder that he had five months and twenty three days left to live.He silenced the alarm and lay still in the pre-dawn dark, listening.The estate was quiet at this hour. No servants. No vehicles. Just the wind moving through the dying gardens and the faint sound of something moving in the distance a creature, perhaps, or just the old house settling into itself. Julian could hear Elara’s heartbeat from here, a distant rhythm from somewhere in the main house. It was fast. Erratic. Even in sleep, she was anxious.He pulled on the same clothes he’d worn yeste

CHAPTER FIVE: THE BREAKING POINT
Day Two arrived with rain.Not the gentle kind that nurtured growth. The cold, vicious kind that felt like the sky was trying to wash something away sin, perhaps, or memory, or the last traces of hope. Julian woke to the sound of it hammering against the corrugated metal roof of the shack, a rhythm that made his bones ache in ways that had nothing to do with the curse.His transformation was accelerating. He could feel it now not just in his bones, but in his blood. The cage was getting smaller. The animal inside was getting hungrier.He had five months and twenty-two days left.The supplies had arrived yesterday ordered through a contact Julian maintained for exactly this kind of need. A botanical warehouse truck had deposited six large bags of potting soil, perlite, and specialized amendments on the estate grounds. Elara had watched the delivery with an expression of cautious relief, as if she still couldn’t quite believe that help was actually materializing.Julian found her in the

CHAPTER SIX: BOUND
The basement smelled like earth and old stone the kind of smell that made Julian’s beast instinctively calm. Underground. Safe. A den.Elara was pacing.She’d been pacing for twenty minutes, ever since Julian had shifted back to human form in the garden and stumbled into the main house, bleeding from a dozen wounds that were already beginning to heal. Mr. Vance was asleep upstairs on medication, unaware that his daughter had just watched a man transform into something that defied every law of nature she understood.Now she was moving back and forth across the basement like a caged predator, her violet eyes snapping with electricity every time they landed on him.“Explain,” she demanded. Not a question. A command.Julian was sitting on the edge of a wine rack, his shirt torn open, his chest still heaving from the transformation. The wounds were closing she could see it happening in real time, the flesh knitting together, the blood drying on skin that looked almost unmarked beneath. It

CHAPTER SEVEN: THE ARRIVAL
The foreclosure notice hit Elara’s trembling hands like a physical blow.Red paper. Official seals. Words that made reality crumble at the edges. She stood on the front steps of the estate in the pre-dawn gray, and the paper rattled so hard against her palms that the sound echoed across the dying gardens like a death rattle.Fifteen days.That’s what the notice said. Fourteen now, technically, since it was already past midnight. Fourteen days until the estate went to auction. Fourteen days until everything her father had spent forty years building became ash.Julian appeared beside her, close enough that the bond between them that invisible thread connecting their hearts pulled tight. She could feel his rage like electricity in her bloodstream. His hands were clenched so hard the skin was white across his knuckles.“We’ll fix this,” he said, but his voice was layered with something that wasn’t quite human. Something that wanted to howl.Elara didn’t answer. Couldn’t answer. Because th

CHAPTER EIGHT: THE TRUTH
The shack was too small for what was about to happen.Elara stood with her back against the door, her violet eyes fixed on Julian like he was a puzzle she needed to solve before the pieces scattered beyond recovery. The stone in her chest was glowing soft gold not the violent pulse from the driveway, but something more measured. More dangerous.Listening.“Tell me everything,” she said.It wasn’t a question. It was a command delivered through the bond and Julian felt it lock into his nervous system like chains. His body went rigid. The pack contract didn’t give her the authority to compel him physically, but the soul bond was different. The soul bond meant she could demand truth the way gravity demands objects fall. His body couldn’t refuse.His mouth opened against his will.“My family has been dying for three hundred years,” he said, the words coming out layered and wrong because his vocal cords were trying to reject them. “We’re not cursed. We’re contaminated. A parasite fused with

CHAPTER NINE: THE RECKONING
Dr. Aris’s office was three stories underground, where artificial light killed shadows and the air tasted like formaldehyde and regret.Julian arrived alone or as alone as someone bonded to another consciousness could be. The moment he stepped into the basement of Veridian Medical Tower, Elara’s presence in his mind flared with anxiety. She could feel where he was going. Could taste his fear through the bond like copper on her tongue.Be careful, she transmitted through their connection.I will, he promised.The physician was waiting.Dr. Aris looked exactly as he always did fifty something, gray at the temples, eyes that had seen too much to be shocked by anything. But his expression was different today. There was something behind the clinical mask. Something like the weight of a secret so heavy that finally speaking it was going to feel like confession.“Close the door,” Dr. Aris said.Julian did. The room became a tomb soundproof, sealed, separated from the world by layers of concr

CHAPTER TEN: THE WAREHOUSE
Midnight came with the sound of rain.The Crescent Moon facility sat on Harbor Street like a monument to the dead a warehouse converted into something that pretended to be a medical facility but looked more like a mausoleum. Steel walls. No windows. A single entrance that was currently wide open, light spilling out onto the wet pavement like an invitation written in blood.Julian sat in the driver’s seat of a nondescript sedan, his hands gripping the wheel hard enough to dent the metal. Beside him, Elara was breathing in controlled patterns in through the nose, out through the mouth trying to keep the stone in her chest from glowing so brightly that it would announce their presence the moment they stepped out of the car.The consciousness was screaming.Both of them could feel a kind of psychic white noise that had started about an hour ago. The consciousness recognized that they were walking into a space designed to trap it. Designed to kill it. And I was afraid.“We can still turn a
