The Alpha Who Killed My Family Is My Mate Lyra’s Choice
I dropped the wooden bucket into the well, the rope spinning through my palms until the splash echoed from the dark bottom.Donovan was standing ten feet away, his hands shoved deep into his coat pockets. He wasn't watching the road. He was watching me. When I pulled the rope back up, the wood bucket dripping water onto the dirt, he didn't try to take it from me. He just stood there, his face hard, his shoulders hunched against the biting wind.“Rylan wants to see you,” Donovan said.“Is his wound bleeding?” I asked.“No,” Donovan said. “The fever is down. But he won't take the medicine Lilith made unless you tell him to. He says you’re the one who decided he was going to live.”I walked toward the infirmary cabin, the heavy bucket swinging against my leg. As I crossed the dirt courtyard, the other wolves stopped what they were doing. An old woman carrying a bundle of dry branches stopped near the kitchen door, her eyes following me as I passed. Two young wolves repairing the wooden f
The Alpha Who Killed My Family Is My Mate Kael. Unmasked
I kicked his cabin door open, the heavy wood slamming against the log wall with a loud bang that shook the timber.Kael did not jump. He did not reach for the hunting blade lying on the table beside his water bowl. He sat on the edge of his narrow cot, his shirt off, his hands resting flat on his knees. A thick white bandage was wrapped tight around his ribs, but a dark stain was already spreading across the cloth, turning it red near his left side. His left cheek was swollen, a dark purple bruise running from his temple down to his jaw where the stones had caught him. He looked up at me, his eyes bloodshot, the golden light completely gone from his gaze.The cabin smelled of old wood, sweat, and the tallow candle burning on the shelf. There was no one else in the room. The silence between us was cold, a straight line of tension that had been stretching since we left the ravine.“You’re bleeding through the cloth,” I said, walking to the table.“It will stop,” Kael said. His voice was
The Alpha Who Killed My Family Is My Mate What’s left of the pack
The walk back to our pack lands took two days.We moved like ghosts through the trees, our feet heavy, our mouths shut. We didn't hunt. We didn't talk. We just walked, keeping our eyes on the ground, listening to the sound of Rylan’s ragged breathing and the steady, dragging scrape of Kael’s boots.When we finally reached the wooden gates of the territory, there was no victory. The settlement looked smaller than I remembered, the log cabins weathered and dark against the winter sky. The fences we had built to keep the world out looked thin, like dry twigs stuck in the dirt. The wolves who had stayed behind, the old men, the women, the children were waiting in the dirt courtyard. They didn't shout or celebrate when we walked through the entrance. They didn't ask if we had won. They just stood there, their eyes moving down our short line, counting the gaps.They saw Lilith walking alone, her sleeves stiff with dried blood. They saw Donovan holding Rylan’s weight, Rylan’s boots dragging
The Alpha Who Killed My Family Is My Mate The silence after Magnus
Nobody moved.The body of Magnus lay still on the dirt, his chest empty of breath, his eyes staring blankly at the dark winter sky. The silence that followed his death was absolute, pressing down on the ravine like a frozen hand.I stood over him, my lungs burning from the cold air. My hands were coated in dark, sticky blood that was already starting to dry and turn stiff in the cold. My knuckles ached. Kael sat nearby against a pile of broken stones, his face pale, his fingers dug hard into his torn shirt to hold his bleeding side together. Rowan stood ten feet away under a branch of a hemlock tree, his boots caked in dirt, his eyes darting between Magnus and me.Behind us, the three surviving wolves did not move. They did not howl. They did not sigh with relief. They just stared at the dead man, then at Kael, and finally at me. Their faces were blank, frozen in the deep, numbing shock that comes after weeks of doing nothing but running, fighting, and trying to stay alive on raw inst
The Alpha Who Killed My Family Is My Mate The aftermath
Six dead men lay in the dirt. Donovan walked from one body to the next, his boot sinking into the dirt. He stopped by the scout Kael had killed with his teeth, nudged the man's ribs with the toe of his boot to make sure he was dead, and then looked back at us. His chest rose and fell in quick, ragged movements.“They’re dead,” Donovan said. He wiped his hunting knife on his dark trousers. The blood on his thigh was already beginning to dry. “All of them.”Lilith didn't answer him. She remained on her knees beside the third wolf we had lost today. Her hands were dark, her fingers pressed hard against the side of his neck as if she could force his cold heart to pump again by sheer weight. She stayed like that for a long time, her head down, her shoulders shaking under her coat, before she finally let her hands drop into the dirt. She didn't cry. There was no time to cry, and there was no one left to hold her if she did.Our numbers had shrunk to five.Rylan was leaning against a black t
The Alpha Who Killed My Family Is My Mate The Kill
Magnus lay in the dirt, but he wasn't finished.He spat a mouthful of blood on the ground. His nose was broken, split down the middle by the edge of the spade, and his breathing sounded like water bubbling in a pipe. But his eyes were still clear. He reached out with his left hand, his fingers clawing through the dirt, searching for the heavy iron key he had dropped.I didn't let him touch it.I stepped on his wrist. I brought the heel of my boot down with everything I had. The bone in his arm snapped. Magnus let out a sharp, grunting hiss through his broken teeth, his head jerking back but he still didn't scream.He looked up at me. His face was a mask of red, his left eye already swelling shut.“You’re still nothing but.... a dog,” he wheezed. The words were wet. “A cultivated beast. You think... this changes the anything ?”“It changes everything,” I said.Beside me, Kael was trying to drag himself up. He was clutching his side, his fingers sinking into the torn, bloody shirt. He w
