Chapter 8

Riven did not raise his voice.

He didn’t need to.

The moment the words left Kai’s mouth—I didn’t choose this—the air in the clearing changed. Conversations died. Even the rejected Omega’s family went still. Every wolf present felt the shift in their Alpha’s energy: the sudden, lethal quiet that always came before Riven decided someone had pushed too far.

His hand stayed on the back of Kai’s neck, thumb resting over the claim mark like a warning.

“Say that again,” Riven said, soft enou

  • The Alpha Who Claimed the Wrong Omega{MM}   Chapter 47

    Chapter 47We broke from the tree line just as the secondary dens’ outer watch turned toward us.I had Riven’s full weight by then. His boots dragged. The bond was a thin, fraying thread that flared only when I shoved will across it hard enough to hurt. Corren and Sera carried Toran between them. We must have looked like the last survivors of a lost fight—which, in every way that mattered, we were.A young sentry I half-recognized from the southern gate raised a spear, then lowered it the moment he caught the claim scent still clinging to my skin and the unmistakable shape of the Alpha hanging against me.“Open the east post,” he shouted over his shoulder. “Alpha’s back. He’s bleeding out.”Hands took Riven from me the second we crossed the threshold. I almost fought them. The bond snarled at the loss of contact. Then a sharp-faced healer I had never spoken to before was already cutting away the ruined packing and barking orders for boiled water, clean cloth, and the strongest stimula

  • The Alpha Who Claimed the Wrong Omega{MM}   Chapter 46

    Chapter 46The storm drain was exactly where I remembered it—half-hidden behind a curtain of roots and black water, the stone mouth barely wide enough for two wolves abreast. Moss hung over the entrance like a forgotten curtain. The air that breathed out of it smelled of wet earth, old iron, and the long-unmoved dark.I lowered Riven against the outer wall while Corren and Sera checked the approaches one last time. The wounded fighter—Toran—was gray around the mouth, his thigh packing already soaked through again. We were all running on the last of the stimulants and pure refusal.“Inside,” I said. “Quietly. The first hundred paces drop steep, then it levels under the eastern ridge. If the collapse hasn’t shifted since last autumn, there’s a side chamber we can use to re-pack him without the current dragging the blood trail.”Sera gave me a long look but didn’t ask how I knew the details. She simply took Toran’s weight from Corren and followed me into the dark.The cold hit immediatel

    Chapter 45The drop tore the breath out of me.We hit the first ledge of brush and loose stone hard enough that my knees buckled. Riven’s weight dragged us both sideways. I locked my arms around him and rolled, taking the worst of the impact on my shoulder and hip. Pain flared white. The bond screamed with it—his and mine tangled so tightly I could no longer tell which bruises belonged to whom.Corren landed a few paces lower, cursing in a low continuous stream. The dens fighter and the wounded wolf followed in controlled slides, sending cascades of shale and broken branches down into the dark. Above us the consortium voices rose, sharp with frustration. Someone shouted for ropes. Someone else ordered a wider sweep. They had not expected us to choose the near-suicide route.I got Riven under the partial cover of a leaning pine before my arms gave out. His skin was cold and slick with blood. The packing at his side was a ruined mess. Every shallow breath he took rattled wetly through t

    Chapter 44I felt the first net before I saw it.Weighted mesh slapped across the ledge and caught Corren’s shoulder, yanking him half off his feet. I drove forward on pure instinct, blade already in my hand, and cut the cords before the thrower could haul him over the drop. The consortium fighter who had crested the lip came at me next—scarred mouth, eyes flat with the same professional calm the lean Beta had worn. I met him low, inside his reach, the way Riven had drilled into me when the dens still stood whole. My knife found the soft place under his arm. Hot blood poured over my fingers. He went down hard and did not get up.Riven’s weight sagged heavier against my side. His breath was a wet rattle that scraped straight through the bond and into my own lungs. I locked my free arm around his waist and refused to let him fold. The claim bite on my neck throbbed in time with his pulse—slow, stubborn, still there.Below us the rest of the climbers kept coming. Nets flew. Suppressant v

    Chapter 43Kai reached him through blood and shallow water.The last two secondary-team fighters between them went down hard—one to Corren’s axe, one to Kai’s knife driven up under the jaw. Riven’s hand closed around Kai’s forearm the instant they touched, fingers biting deep enough to bruise. The bond roared through the contact, flooding both of them with the same raw certainty: still mine, still here, still breathing.Riven’s face was the color of old ash. The packing at his side had failed completely; blood sheeted down his leg and into the current. Yet he stood. The stimulant and pure refusal were the only things keeping him upright.“North ridge,” he rasped. “Thirty, maybe more. Different mark—same seal. They’re not here to negotiate.”Corren appeared at their flank, breathing hard, one ear half-torn. “We can’t hold the ford. Downstream is open for maybe two hundred paces before the walls close again. After that it’s a kill chute.”Riven’s grip on Kai tightened. His eyes flicked

  • The Alpha Who Claimed the Wrong Omega{MM}   Chapter 42

    Chapter 42The suppressant did not take him all the way under.It dragged him into a thick, gray half-sleep where the world tilted and every sound arrived late. The mesh still bit into his shoulders and hips. Rough hands had bound his wrists behind his back and lashed his ankles. A hood of the same chemical-soaked cloth covered his head, turning every breath into a slow burn. The bond pulsed under it all—weak, frantic, stubborn. Riven was still alive. Barely.Kai catalogued what he could. Four sets of boots around him. The steady sway of being carried at a forced march. The lean Beta’s voice giving short orders. No one spoke to him. They treated him like cargo that might still bite.Somewhere behind and below, the gully watercourse ran. The child’s small heartbeat was a faint echo through the bond, filtered by distance and Riven’s fading strength. Kai clung to that echo the way he had once clung to the secret of his own nature. It kept the gray from swallowing him completely.They sto
