THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL Chapter 116—Schemes and Bruises
LyrisKol was quiet for a moment after I finished speaking, the kind of quiet that meant he was turning every part of what I laid out over in his mind rather than simply accepting it. That was always how he worked. He didn't react, he processed, and by the time he spoke, he already looked at the idea from every angle he could find."The strategy isn't the problem." He moved away from the chair slowly. "The strategy is sound, bring her in, draw him out, end it on our terms." He looked at me steadily. "The problem is Ravin himself. You stood across from him in that clearing you know what he is capable of. Ending him is not going to be a simple thing, no matter how well we set the conditions.""No," I agreed. "It won't be simple.""Then you understand my concern."I shifted upright on the cot and met his gaze directly. "I understand it completely, and I'm telling you it doesn't change the core of what I'm proposing." I kept my voice measured. "Ravin is dangerous. I will never argue ag
THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL Chapter 115—Bait
Lyris POV Kol turned from the window and looked at me with something that wasn't quite surprise but wasn't entirely far from it either.He crossed back toward me slowly, his expression already shifting. "Explain that. Because from where I'm standing, every route we built into that school just closed.""Not every route." I shifted carefully against the cot, pushing through the pull across my ribs. "We don't need a route back into the school. We never needed the school, we needed Elara, and Elara is still very much accessible."Kol stopped at the foot of the cot and watched me, waiting for the rest."Ravin loves her." I kept my voice level. "Not the way students at that school think they love people. I watched him for months. I watched the way he tracked her movements without her knowing, the way he positioned himself every time something felt off around her, the way he reacted when she was even slightly distressed." I held his gaze. "He is completely in over his head with this girl.
THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL Chapter 114—The Lucky Survivor
Lyris POVThe pack doctor finished wrapping the last of the wounds across my side and stepped back without a word, which was the polite way of saying there was nothing left to do but wait for the body to catch up with everything done to it.I flexed my fingers once against the edge of the cot and stayed quiet.The injuries were significant. I knew that without being told.The bite at my shoulder ran deep enough that turning my head too far to the left sent a sharp pull up through my neck. The claw marks across my ribs made breathing at full capacity something I was working back toward rather than something I could do freely.Rough recoveries were nothing new to me. This one sat in a different category entirely, and I knew it.The door opened.Alpha Kol stepped into the room and closed it behind him with the kind of quiet that was more deliberate than accidental. He was not a man who did anything without intention, and the way he moved through a space communicated that without him nee
THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL Chapter 113—Reunion with Friends
Elara's POV Silas dropped me at the front gates exactly as Ravin said he would, gave me a single nod that communicated everything and nothing at once, and then turned back the way we came without another word. I watched him go for a moment, then turned around and walked through the gates of Draven Wolf Academy like I hadn't been gone for two full days.I made it approximately thirty seconds before they found me.Freya reached me first, and the look on her face landed somewhere between relief and the particular kind of fury that only came from someone who cared about you deeply and was currently deciding whether to hug you or shake you by the shoulders."Where," she said, her voice low and pointed, "have you been."Nyx was right behind her, arms folded, her expression considerably more controlled but her eyes doing everything Freya's voice was doing. Leo came last, hands shoved in his pockets, looking at me with the quiet, searching look he used when he was trying to work something o
THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL Chapter 112—The Order of Secret Identity
Elara's POV The quiet that settled between us afterward was different from any quiet I ever found myself in with him before. Not tense, not careful, just still, the good kind of still that came after something shifted between two people and neither of them needed to fill it with words right away.He was the one who broke the silence, his voice low and easy even then."You need to go back, you've been gone two days and people will have noticed.""I know," I said, turning to look at him."Your friends are going to ask where you were," he continued, his eyes on mine. "And when they do, I need you to tell them the truth. Tell them who I am."I shook my head before he even finished. "No," I said, sitting up straighter and meeting his gaze. "I don't want to. What we have, who you really are, all of it feels like something that belongs just between us and I'm not ready to share that with anyone else yet. Not even them."He looked at me for a long moment, and I could tell he was actually wei
THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL Chapter 111—A Deepened Bond
Elara's POV The words settled over me like something I was waiting to hear without knowing it.I looked at him, standing right in front of me with his jaw tight and his eyes on mine and everything he felt sitting just under the surface, barely contained, and something in my chest broke open in a way that was nothing to do with pain."I love you too," I said, and my voice came out steadier than I expected given that nothing else in this moment felt steady at all. "I do, I love you too, Ravin."Something moved across his face. Not fully open, not all the way there, but softer than anything I ever saw on it before, and he looked at me for a long moment without saying a word, like he was letting what I said reach him properly.Then he exhaled slowly and his eyes moved over my face in that careful way of his, the way he did when he was checking something without wanting to make it obvious that he was doing it."How are you feeling?" he asked, his voice quieter now, all the sharpness from
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
THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL Chapter 3—The Shifted Balance
Elara's POVI heard them before the bus doors even opened.The moment I stepped off at Draven Wolf Academy the noise changed, dropping into something lower and more pointed. Students who had stayed behind were gathered near the entrance and every single one of them was looking at me.I kept walking
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
