POV: ARIN

My hand starts glowing before he even walks out.

I am sitting on the big couch in the living room and my legs don’t touch the floor because it’s too high and Varek keeps telling me to stop kicking the wood table.

“I’m not kicking it,” I say.

“You are,” he says without looking at me.

“I’m not doing it on purpose.”

Kael is in the chair across from me and he’s watching me like he does when he’s thinking too much.

“You feel it again?” he asks softly.

I shrug but I don’t lie. “Yeah.”

  • THE MAD ALPHA    CHAPTER 119— THE PRIESTESS AWAKENS

    POV: ELARAI don’t pass out.I’m standing in the damn kitchen.Bare feet on cold tile. Fridge humming. The coffee machine blinking 12:07 because nobody ever fixes the time. It smells like burnt toast because Kael tried to make breakfast and forgot it in there. Normal. Stupid normal.And then the air shifts.Not dramatic. Not thunder and lightning. Just… thick.Like when you walk into a room and someone was just arguing and you can still feel it.I grip the counter. “Do you feel that?” I whisper.Silence.Then my wolf moves.Not like she’s stretching. Not like she’s waking up.She stands.Inside me.Slow. Alert.I do, she says.My chest tightens. “Don’t start.”You feel it too.I don’t answer because yeah. I do. It’s been like this all week. Ever since Darius and I slept in a bed together. And we didn’t do anything. Nothing happened. But still. Ever since that night, something has been pressing at my skull. Like a finger tapping. Tap. Tap. Tap. Look here. Look closer.At what?I don’t

  • THE MAD ALPHA    CHAPTER 118 — THE PACKS DIVIDE

    POV: DARIUSThe alarm hits before the sun does and I am awake before the second flare even burns out.The sound isn’t a siren. It’s the low howl from the east tower and then the pulse on my phone right after. Border breach. North line. Hunting ground three. North Ridge wolves.I sit up already knowing who it is.“Elara,” I say, and she’s awake instantly. She had decided to sleep in my room from now on. Just sleep. So that we can get used to each other again“What happened?”“North Ridge.”Her jaw tightens. “Already?”I nod and I am already pulling on jeans. “They didn’t even wait a week.”She stands too. “You expected this.”“Yes.”Outside the window the sky is still dark blue. Pre-dawn. The time cowards like.My phone buzzes again. Derek.I answer on speaker. “Talk.”“They crossed the markers at three,” he says fast. “Six wolves seen. They planted their scent over ours and took two deer.”I huff a short breath. “Bold.”“They’re waiting for a reaction.”“Of course they are.”Elara cro

  • THE MAD ALPHA    CHAPTER 117— RELEARNING EACH OTHER

    POV: ELARAI walk into his study and my heart trips over itself.Like literally.Darius is here.Standing at the window as sunlight cuts around his shoulders with his arms crossed and his head slightly down.He is watching Arin from the window I freeze in the doorway because I did not expect him to look like that.Not Alpha. Not a leader. Not the man who banished me.Just a father who does not know how to step closer.Outside, Arin is laughing. I hear it through the open window. He is running with the other boys, shoving one of them and then falling and popping back up like nothing can hurt him.Darius does not move.His fingers press harder into his own arm.I clear my throat because I came in here for a pen and now I cannot remember why.He hears me. I know because of the way his shoulders stiffen but he does not turn right away.“I didn’t hear you come in,” he says finally.His voice is low. Careful.“I needed a pen,” I say, which sounds stupid now.There is one on the desk. I se

  • THE MAD ALPHA    CHAPTER 116 — THE WEAK THREAD

    POV: KAELI feel it the second he drops into sleep.Like the room goes quiet but not all the way.Darius is on the bed across from me. Shirt off. Chest rising slow. Normal. Too normal. Elara finally got him to rest. She is in the chair near the window, arms crossed, watching him like if she blinks he might disappear.I close my eyes.And there it is.A pulse.Not loud. Not strong. Just this… tick. Deep under his skin. Not in his heart. Not in his wolf.In the space between.I inhale slow and press my fingers to his temple.Elara looks at me fast. “What?”“Shh,” I whisper. “I need quiet.”She doesn’t like that. I can feel it. She stands anyway. Walks closer. “Is he okay?”“I don’t know yet.”I let my magic slip out slow. Not a blast. Not a wave. Just thin. Careful. Like threading a needle.The air shifts.Darius doesn’t wake but his jaw tightens.There. Again.That pulse.I push a little deeper.And it pushes back.Not hard. Not violent.Familiar.My stomach twists.“Oh no,” I breathe.

  • THE MAD ALPHA    CHAPTER 115 — ASHES DO NOT STAY COLD

    POV: LYRAThe first thing I do is throw the phone at the wall.It doesn’t shatter. Of course it doesn’t. It just hits the stone and drops to the floor, screen still glowing, his voice still echoing out of it.“I wronged you.”I can still hear him.“I failed as mate.”Mate.He said it like it meant something holy.I’m standing in the middle of the room we’ve been hiding in for three days, and my hands are shaking so bad I have to curl them into fists just to make them stop.On the screen, the replay keeps going. Someone streamed it. Of course they did. Wolves love drama more than blood.There he is. In the clearing. Dirt under his boots. Voice steady. Pack hanging on every word.And then her.Elara.Standing there like she never crawled out of exile. Like she wasn’t dragged. Like she didn’t beg once.He bows.He bows to her wolves.I let out a laugh that sounds wrong even to me.“He bowed,” I say.My father doesn’t look up.He’s at the table with a paper map spread out even though we b

  • THE MAD ALPHA    CHAPTER 114— THE MAN WHO STAYED

    POV: VAREKThe glow burns so bright it throws light on all of their faces, and I see it.I see everything.I’m standing near the edge of the living room, back against the wall, arms crossed, and I don’t move. I don’t blink. I just watch.Arin’s hand is lit up like a damn signal flare, and Darius is still kneeling in front of him, fingers wrapped around the boy’s smaller hand like he’s scared to let go.Elara steps closer without thinking. Of course she does. She always moves toward him. Even when she swears she won’t.“Arin,” she says, her voice tight. “Baby, look at me. Does it hurt?”He shakes his head fast. “No. It’s just loud.”“Loud how?” Kael asks.“In here.” Arin taps his chest. “Like something’s knocking.”Darius’ jaw tightens. I see it from here. That small flex near his ear.“What’s knocking?” he asks gently.Arin looks up at him, and for a second they just stare at each other. Same eyes. Same stubborn set to their mouth.“I don’t know,” Arin says. “But it’s not from here.”
