**ARIA'S POV**

My feet hurt.

That was the first thought that came when Caelan walked me out of the building. Not relief that I was alive. Not gratitude that he'd come for me. Just the immediate, blinding awareness that my feet were torn and bleeding.

I'd lost my shoes somewhere during the kidnapping. Or maybe they'd taken them. I couldn't remember anymore.

"Walk," he said the moment I began to slow down.

I obeyed, and kept moving. But he should have just brought a horse with him or even shifte

  • The Alpha's Breeding Pet    Chapter 24

    CAELAN'S POVI was at the door before Renn finished the sentence.She caught my arm. "One rider. Moving slow. That's not a patrol and it's not someone hunting.""Then what is it?"She looked out the window again. "Someone who wants to be seen."That was worse.A patrol you could fight. Someone who wanted to be seen was making a point. Announcing themselves before they arrived because they already knew you couldn't do anything about it.I knew one person who operated that way."Stay with her," I told Renn, and went outside.The morning was pale and cold, frost on the grass, the sky the flat white of a day that hadn't decided what it wanted to be yet. The rider came up the track at a walk, hood down, both hands visible on the reins.Silas.He looked the same as I remembered. Lean, unhurried, the kind of man who'd learned early that stillness was more threatening than movement. He stopped his horse ten feet from me and looked at the farmhouse, then at my face, then at the blood showing t

  • The Alpha's Breeding Pet    Chapter 23

    ARIA'S POVThe contractions were seven minutes apart.Mira had been timing them since we reached the farmhouse, her expression doing the thing where it stayed very calm on the surface and said everything underneath."Talk to me," I said through the tail end of one."You're progressing. Faster than normal for a first labor." She adjusted the blanket beneath me. "The baby is positioned well. That's good.""What's not good?"She hesitated."Mira.""We're six weeks early. Their lungs may not be fully developed." She kept her voice even. "It may not matter. Some early babies come out screaming and perfect. But I want you prepared."I pressed my hand flat against my stomach. The baby was very active now, moving in a way that felt purposeful rather than random. Like they were arranging themselves. Getting ready."They're strong," I said. "You've said so yourself.""I know. And I meant it."Renn appeared in the doorway. She'd been watching the road since we arrived, moving between the window

  • The Alpha's Breeding Pet    Chapter 22

    CAELAN'S POVThe healer's name was Petra.She was sixty if she was a day, small and sharp-eyed, and she stitched my wound like she was mending a torn shirt. No ceremony. No sympathy."You've reopened this twice already," she said, pulling the thread through. "Do it again and no amount of stitching saves you.""Noted.""I mean it. One more rupture and you bleed internally. Die in a forest somewhere. Very undignified for an Alpha.""Former Alpha."She glanced up at that. Just briefly. Then went back to her work. "I heard. Council stripped your title this morning. Official announcement went out at dawn."Something cold settled in my chest. Not surprise. Just the weight of it becoming real."Damon," I called.He appeared in the doorway. "I know. I was going to tell you.""When?""After you stopped bleeding." He leaned against the frame, arms crossed. "It changes nothing about the plan.""It changes everything about the plan. A rogue Alpha crossing Council territory is a target. A former A

    ARIA'S POV Callow market smelled like livestock and smoke. We'd arrived before the morning rush, hoods up, moving close to the stalls where the crowd was thickest. Renn had been right about one thing — the noise helped. Hard to track a scent in a place where everything smelled like something else. "Don't stop walking," Renn said quietly, just ahead of me. "Even if you see something that worries you. Keep moving." "I know how to not look suspicious." "You're a very pregnant woman in a hood walking through a market at dawn. You're already suspicious. Just don't make it worse." Mira pressed close on my left side, her bag over her shoulder, eyes moving constantly. She'd been quiet since we left the safe house. The kind of quiet that meant she was thinking hard about something she hadn't decided to say yet. The baby was quiet too. That bothered me more than anything. After the candles, after whatever that ripple had been, they'd settled into a stillness that felt different from sl

  • The Alpha's Breeding Pet    Chapter 20

    CAELAN'S POVThe cell was the same as every other night.Cold stone. Distant footsteps. The smell of damp and iron that had soaked into everything after weeks of captivity.Except tonight, something was different.I felt it before I understood it. A pull in my chest. Faint but insistent, like a thread being tugged from far away. The kind of feeling wolves described when their mate was in danger.Or when their mate was gone.I was at the cell bars before I'd fully processed the thought. "Guard."The wolf posted outside my cell didn't look up from whatever he was reading. "Quiet.""I need to speak with someone. Damon. Or Darius. Anyone from my pack.""No visitors after dark.""Then get me Magnus."That made him look up. "You want Magnus.""I want to know where my mate is. And I want to know now."He studied me for a moment, then went back to his reading. "She's in her quarters. Same as always."He believed that. I could tell from his voice, the ease of it, the boredom. He hadn't been to

    **CAELAN'S POV**Something was wrong.The feeling hit me as I approached the gates. Guards stood too still in the courtyard, servants suddenly discovered urgent tasks that required them to look anywhere but at me.The air tasted different. I dismounted and handed the reins to an omega who took the

"I'll come back later. Wait for me."I watched her go, my chest tightened with unease and hope tangled so close togethe
