Dustan’s POV

I didn't think.

That was the first mistake.

The second was dropping the knife. The third was letting them see my face—see whatever expression had taken up residence there while Elara's voice echoed through my skull like a scream in an empty cathedral.

But I was already moving.

My hands slammed against the wheels of my chair. Hard. The force of it sent me spinning backward, and I heard Roric scramble to get out of the way.

"Alpha—"

"Move."

I didn't recognize my own voice. It came fr

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Go down

    Elara's POVOne moment the one holding Richard down, was standing there with that smug, self-satisfied expression, and the next I had driven my shoulder into his chest with every ounce of weight and momentum I possessed.He flew backward. His grip on Richard was torn away as he crashed into the cottage wall. Old photographs rattled and fell. A shelf of herbs collapsed, scattering dried leaves everywhere like confetti.The guard's head connected with the wooden beam with a satisfying ‘thunk’, and he slid down to the floor, groaning.There was a moment of absolute stillness.Richard was free—well, free of one guard, at least. The other man still had him by the right arm, but his grip had loosened in shock. His eyes were wide, his mouth slightly open.The tall leader had frozen mid-step. His casual arrogance had been replaced by genuine surprise.And the other guards who had been standing outside—the reinforcements—had rushed to the doorway and were now staring at me like I'd grown a sec

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Don't touch him

    Elara’s POVI lunged.My shoulder connected with the nearest guard's torso, and I drove him back a step—just one—before a hand like iron clamped around my wrist and wrenched my arm behind my back."Get off me!" I snarled, twisting against the grip. My wolf surged forward, "I said—"The cold kiss of silver clamped around my wrists.The metal bit into my skin, and I hissed through my teeth. My wolf recoiled, whimpering in the back of my mind as the cuffs sapped the strength from my limbs. My knees buckled. I caught myself before I fell, but barely. The fire in the hearth seemed to dim, the shadows in the cottage deepened. "Elara!" Richard's voice cracked. I looked up, and the sight of him made my chest constrict.Blood trickled from his nose, blooming spots. His glasses were gone, knocked aside and trampled, the lenses shattered."Stop it!" I screamed, thrashing against the guard holding me. "Stop it! You came for me! I'm right here! I'm the one you want!" My voice broke on the last wo

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Bang

    Elara's POVI took a breath, steadying myself. The warmth of the tea was seeping into my frozen fingers, but it did nothing to thaw the knot of ice that had taken up permanent residence in my chest. I opened my mouth to tell him about the wolf that had saved me —But before I could speak—BANG. BANG. The sound shattered the quiet inside the room like a rock through glass. I flinched, tea sloshing over the rim of my mug and burning my knuckles. I barely felt it.There was a knock at the door. Richard didn't move. He simply looked up at the door, and then he smiled. I didn't fail to notice that it was a slow, knowing smile that made the fine hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.He made no effort to rise. No effort to answer.BANG. BANG. BANG.The knocking came heavier this time. More insistent. A little violent. The old wooden frame rattled in its hinges, and dust motes shook loose from the rafters above us.I set my mug down carefully. My hands trembled as I stood up. "Shoul

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   And?...

    Elara’s POVI left the palace without a sound.I wrapped a masking cloak around my shoulders , the hood pulled low to shadow my face. I knew the guards' rotations by heart by now. I took advantage of that knowledge. I needed answers. And I knew where I might find them.The streets of the outer city were quiet at this hour.My old neighborhood hadn't changed much—still the same cramped buildings, still the same smell of bread from the bakery on the corner, still the same uneven cobblestones that had tripped me as a child.I walked fast, my feet remembering the path like a reflex. I'd heard tales of the Eternal Wolves when I was young.Stories of wolves who never truly died, who passed their spirits through generations, who guarded the old magic that most people had forgotten.Most people dismissed it as a myth. But I'd always been curious.And my old teacher , Gamma Ferocious, had always indulged my curiosity.His orchids came into view—now overgrown with tangles of vines and wild flow

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Triple Crescent

    Dustan's POVRoric wheeled me away from the corridor where Elara had just hurried off. I kept my face blank, my eyes forward, my hands resting on the armrests of the chair. The mask was firmly in place.But inside, something twisted.I had seen her face when she looked at me. The way her smile had flickered for just a moment before she plastered it back on. The way her eyes had darted away, hurt flickering in their depths before she masked it. The way she'd hurried off like she couldn't get away from me fast enough.Good.That was good.It was better this way.I let out a deep sigh. Roric's hands paused on the handles of my chair. "You know," he said carefully, "you could have at least asked how she was."I didn't answer."You didn't even look at her properly—" He made a frustrated sound. " I don't understand.""She's fine," I said flatly. "Obviously. She was walking. Talking. Smiling.""That's not the point."I said nothing.Roric started pushing me again, but I could feel his frust

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Wolf

    Elara's POVI closed the door after shoving Lyria out and leaned against it.My forehead pressed to the cool wood. My hands were shaking. My heart was pounding. My entire body thrummed with the aftermath of what I'd just done.I'd finally confronted her! Finally I had given her the taste of her own medicine! All those years of stupidly smiling through her betrayals like a naive fuck, of pretending I didn't see the knives hidden behind her eyes, of loving her despite everything—it all came crashing down. It felt good. And I'd watched her crumble.It felt right. It felt soothing. But now that the adrenaline was fading, I felt the weight of what I'd done. The words I'd spoken. The truths I'd dragged into the light. Lyria would never let this pass. She was full of vengeful motives and creatures like her never held back while spewing venom. And that was fine—I didn't want her ugly sweetness. What I wanted was for her to stay away. To stop taking pieces of me and calling it love.But I

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Horrible

    Dustan's POVI sat in that tree for what felt like hours after the Rogue Lord appeared below me. Though the triple crescent kept me fairly occupied, staying perched like that was literal agony. I tried too hard but I couldn't,for the love of the Goddess, remember where I had seen that symbol befor

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Good job

    Elara’s POV“ I ,umm, me? For lunch? ”“ Yeah, you, for lunch!” The words left my mouth before I fully decided to speak them. I could barely hide my disdain for her. Lyria paused at the threshold. Her hand rested on the doorframe, lavender silk pooling around her fingers. She turned back with tha

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Where did I see it?

    Dustan's POVThe growl came again. Closer this time. I would have definitely pissed my pants had I been a normal wolf. The Alpha blood in my veins saved my dignity. I didn't think twice. I just ran.My legs pumped beneath me—those same legs that had been useless for years, that had forgotten what

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Miracle

    Dustan's POVI kept my pace measured. It was the kind of unhurried roll that suggested a man with nowhere to be and nothing to hide. My shoulders were loose. My head was turned slightly towards the eastern ridge, admiring the way the morning light caught the dew on the wild grass.I didn't look be
