  • The Alpha Brothers' Secret Mate    The Morning after the mark.

    Sable's POVI woke up between them.Not tangled, not touching in any way that would make the elders faint twice in one day, but between them. Vex slept on his back like even though in deep sleep and unconscious he was standing guard. Knox slept curled toward me, one arm slung over a pillow he must have grabbed sometime in the night because it definitely wasn't there when I passed out exhausted.The cabin smelled like woodsmoke and pine and something warmer underneath it, something that made my chest ache in a way I didn't have a name for yet and couldn't fathom as well.My wrist didn't burn anymore. It pulsed, slow and steady, like a second heartbeat that had decided to live under my skin.I lay there for a long minute just breathing. Yesterday I had one life and it was a quiet one, a life where nobody said my name like it meant something and now I had two mates asleep six inches away and an entire pack outside probably still arguing about whether that was even allowed.Knox's eyes

  • The Alpha Brothers' Secret Mate    The Betrayer's Mark

    Sable's POV We slipped into the forest under the cover of deepening night, moving as quietly as we could. The howls had grown louder, closer, and my heart pounded in time with them. Vex led the way, his steps sure and silent on the uneven ground.Knox stayed right beside me, one hand occasionally brushing my arm like he needed to make sure I was still there. Elias brought up the rear, his breathing a little labored but steady.The bond between us sharpened with every step. Brief flashes came through, Vex’s quiet determination mixed with a deep worry for the pack he was leaving behind, Knox’s fierce protectiveness that bordered on anger at anyone who would threaten me.It wasn’t just feelings anymore. Sometimes it felt like pieces of their thoughts slipped through. Keep her safe. Don’t lose her. The connection pulled me forward even when my legs wanted to give out.We pushed deeper into the trees, following the rough map Elias had given me. The forest grew thicker, branches snagging a

  • The Alpha Brothers' Secret Mate    Night Fall

    Sable's POV The distant howls multiplied, echoing through the trees like a warning no one could ignore, and I stood frozen on the tower steps as scouts burst from the forest line below, shouting reports that carried sharp and urgent on the wind.Strangers had crossed the eastern border, moving like they knew the land far too well, and the pack was already stirring around me, voices rising, doors slamming, the quiet evening turning into a controlled kind of chaos that made my pulse pound in my ears.Vex took charge immediately, his voice cutting through the noise with quiet authority. Knox was to stay close to me while Elias joined him and the others, and together they would get me back to the lodge, gather what we needed, and decide the next move from there. No one was to go off alone, he said, and something about the firmness in his tone told me this was not a moment for argument.Knox nodded, though his jaw stayed tight the entire time. He told me I would stay close to him, that if

  • The Alpha Brothers' Secret Mate    The Return

    Sable's POV I froze on the spot. The old man’s words hit me like a slap. Little moon girl.That nickname pulled something sharp and painful from deep inside my chest. For a split second I heard a woman’s voice saying it the same way, soft and full of love, right before everything went dark. The memory vanished as fast as it came, leaving my hands cold and my pulse racing.Vex stepped fully in front of me, his broad shoulders blocking part of my view. “Who are you?” he asked again, voice low and hard, the kind of tone that left no room for games.The man raised his hands slowly, palms open in a gesture meant to calm. “Easy, son. Name’s Elias. I used to be the pack healer here, back before I had to disappear. About eleven years ago.”Knox moved to my other side, restless energy rolling off him like heat from a fire. “How do you know her name? How do you know any of this? You better start making sense fast.”Elias sighed and leaned against the railing like the climb up here had tired hi

  • The Alpha Brothers' Secret Mate    Echo Under My Skin

    Sable's POV I woke up gasping in the dark of my tiny cabin, sheets tangled around my legs like they were trying to hold me down. For a second I thought someone was in the room with me. Then I realized the sound was not outside. It was inside my head. Laughter. Bright and wild, the kind that makes you want to run and jump just because you can. It felt like cold lake water rushing over my skin, the shock of it waking every nerve.Knox.I sat up fast. The bond. It had stuck around after last night like an uninvited guest who refused to leave. I rubbed my eyes and looked at the window. The sky was still that deep blue before sunrise. I had barely slept, my mind too busy replaying every touch from the festival.Another feeling slid in right after the laughter. This one was quieter. Focused. Like someone sitting at a table with maps spread out, marking routes with slow, careful lines. Vex. Checking patrol schedules or something. For the first time in years I was not already reaching for my

  • The Alpha Brothers' Secret Mate    The Night Two Alphas Claimed Me

    Sable's POV Run, The word hit me before my eyes even opened. I woke up leaning against an old wooden post at the edge of the Blood Moon festival, heart already racing. Three days ago I had rolled into Moonridge hoping for quiet work at the lodge.Now the drums pounded in my chest while pine smoke and warm wine filled the air. My black tank top stuck to my skin. The silver mark on my wrist itched like fire.I looked around slowly. Kids ran past with glowing sticks. Couples danced close. Everything looked normal, but my stomach twisted.Then two deep voices spoke my name at the same time."Sable."No one here knew my real name. I had kept it hidden on purpose. I turned around with my mouth drying of out of surprise.Two tall men stood out from the crowd. Broad shoulders, dark hair, golden eyes. Tattoos covered their arms. One held himself straight, jaw tight like he was already thinking through every possible problem. The other tapped a restless rhythm on his thigh, grinning like he ha
