THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL Chapter 108—Last Chance
Ravin's POV I looked at her for a long moment with Elara still against my chest and the clearing quiet around us."What exactly does that mean?"Lyris didn't blink. "It means Elara stays with us until you surrender your Alpha title and leave Velthorn completely. Those are Kol's terms, they are not up for discussion, and you have until sunrise to make your decision."I let the words sit and looked at her face, finding nothing there that suggested she was bluffing or waiting for some kind of reaction, nothing uncertain or nervous about any of it. She meant every single word of it, and she was comfortable standing here saying it because she came out here believing this conversation had already gone the way she planned.It hadn't, and the longer she stood there watching me not react the way she expected, the more that was starting to register."You just told me," I said, keeping my voice level, "that Elara was never going to be harmed. You said it yourself, not five minutes ago.""That
THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL Chapter 107—Unmasked
Ravin's POV I turned around and Lyris was standing at the edge of the clearing, arms loose at her sides, watching us with an expression that hadn't shifted at all from the one she wore in the school halls every day. No urgency, no panic. Just that same controlled stillness, except now I understood exactly what it was and where it came from.She looked at Elara first, then shifted her gaze to me."The poison wasn't meant to kill her," she said. "I need you to understand that."I didn't say anything."I'm not a monster. She's my friend." She held her voice steady, like she genuinely believed what she was saying. "Why would I kill someone who trusted me?"There was something wrong about hearing her say it that plainly, she had poisoned Elara, carried her off school grounds in the dark and dragged her all the way out here toward Vespera territory, and she was standing in front of me using the word friend like it still meant something.I looked down at Elara. Her eyes were barely open, h
THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL Chapter 106—A Lethal Encounter
Ravin's POV I found it further left than I expected, tucked low against the base of a mossy embankment where the soil was darker and the moisture sitting underneath kept the undergrowth dense and close to the ground.Moonroot. Wide flat leaves, the slightly silvered underside catching the dim light filtering through the canopy above. I knew it the moment I saw it, and right now that was the only thing that mattered.I dropped to my knees and pulled a generous handful free from the stems without wasting any time being careful about it, and then I was back on my feet and moving.I ran.The path back to Elara felt longer than the path away from her and I knew that was just the weight of the seconds between finding the leaves and getting them into her, the kind of time that expanded when you couldn't afford to let it. Every step felt like it was costing something I didn't have to spare.I pushed through the undergrowth and came back into the small clearing where I left her and dropped do
THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL Chapter 105—Found in the Woods
Ravin's POV She was on the ground, not sitting not leaning against anything. Fully down, on her side, her white gown spread around her in the dirt and the dead leaves, her hair loose across her face, one arm curled beneath her and the other stretched out like she reached for something before she went down.Her body was completely still in the way bodies went still when they weren't choosing to be still, when the choice was taken from them entirely.I crossed the distance between us in seconds and dropped to my knees beside her."Elara."Nothing.I pressed two fingers to the side of her neck and felt for a pulse and found one, faint and fast, the kind that wasn't reassuring because fast and faint together meant something was working too hard to keep up with whatever was happening inside her. I moved my hand to her forehead and the heat that came off her skin made me pull back for half a second before I pressed my palm flat against it.She was burning.Not the warmth of someone who ra
THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL Chapter 104—The Route to Vespera
Ravin's POV The trail didn't waver, that was the thing that told me most clearly that this wasn't a coincidence, wasn't someone wandering or getting turned around in the dark. The scent moved in a straight line, purposeful and deliberate, like someone who knew exactly where they were going and went there without second-guessing the route.I followed it past the first stretch of open land beyond the gate, through the narrow treeline that marked the unofficial boundary between Draven's grounds and the stretch of territory that belonged to no pack in particular, unclaimed land that most students never crossed and most of them didn't know existed.I crossed it.The scent pulled me deeper into the trees, and the further I went the less anything around me looked familiar in the way the school grounds felt familiar after months of walking them. Out here the paths were unmarked and the light came through the canopy in thinner pieces, and the quiet was a different quality to the quiet of th
THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL Chapter 103—Catching the Scent
Ravin's POV There was only one thing left to do, everything else, the questions, the conversations, the standing in corridors trying to build a picture out of secondhand information, reached its limit. What Freya gave me was useful and it was nothing at the same time. A starting point with a gap where the rest of the answer should have been.I needed to find the trail myself. That was the only way forward from here, the only move that made sense when secondhand information ran out.I turned and walked in the direction of the grand hall without hesitation.The Silver Moon Dance was last night, which meant the hall was the last confirmed place Elara was seen. It was the only starting point I had, and if her scent was traceable anywhere it would begin there, in the space where she spent the early part of her evening before Freya lost sight of her in the crowd.The grand hall was quiet now, the decorations from the night before still in place but the energy completely gone from the spac
THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL Chapter 2—The Hunt
Ravin's POVThe pull hit me without warning, right in the middle of watching two of my warriors settle a dispute on the training ground.My hand was at my chest before I understood why, and my wolf went completely still inside me, the way it only did when something had its full attention. I had fel
THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL Chapter 1—The First Shift
Elara's POVThe lunch hall was loud the way it always was on Fridays. I was staring at my food and not eating it when Professor Aldric walked to the front and clapped twice.The noise dropped."The annual forest camping trip begins today. Buses leave at four. Attendance is mandatory."The hall erup
THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL Chapter 5—The New Student
Elara's POVI noticed him during second period.He was sitting three rows ahead of me and two seats to the left, not doing anything particularly noticeable. Just sitting there, head slightly angled toward the front of the class, pen moving across his notebook. But there was something about the way
THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL Chapter 4—Hidden Identity
Ravin's POVI told myself I was gathering information.That was what I called it the first night I stood in the treeline beyond the academy fence and watched the students move between buildings. I came back the second night. And the third.By the fourth I had her routine mapped. She left the dormit
