Alec

I was on the ground floor, listening to a security report from one of my guards. He was droning on about supply delays, fuel reserves, and scout rotation at the western border.

My nose sniffed the air, signaling Vanessa's presence.

Across the polished marble of the hall, my gaze locked on her.

She was standing too close to Caleb. Her face tilted toward him in that way she always did when she was truly listening. His hand brushed hers. She didn’t pull away.

He said something, and she threw her head back with a laugh so unguarded, so bright, it echoed in the vastness of the hall like a song I hadn’t earned.

Something inside me snapped.

A raw crack. Not jealousy, because jealousy was too polite a word for what spread through my chest like wildfire.

This was possession. Rage. Hunger.

The bastard leaned in and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.

My wolf, Jaxon, lunged inside me.

My vision narrowed, tinged with a blood-red haze. I felt the deep urge to assert dominance, to drag

    VanessaI was halfway to the door, steps already in motion to get back to Alec, when Nina crashed into me. Her arms locked around my ribs with such urgency that it knocked the breath from my lungs. I stood there, holding, blinking. Then I gripped her just as tight. My fingers clawed at her shirt like the fabric could anchor me. I hadn’t realized I needed that hug more than food, more than sleep, more than answers. We cried into each other’s shoulders, but I couldn’t tell whose tears were whose. My throat burned. I pulled away first and scrubbed my face with the back of my wrist.“Whoever taught you this?” Nina said, voice shaky but trying for lightness. “They deserve a damn raise. Imagine if you hadn’t known what to do.”I shrugged. “Olga.”That name killed whatever flicker of calm we’d built in the last ten seconds. Nina’s smile dropped like a stone. Her jaw clenched, and she gave me this slow nod like she finally understood. She got it—got that the power I’d used to save Alec was on

    Blood, smoke, burnt flesh, antiseptic, sweat, dirt, and death—the smells were overwhelming me. Maya stood there, too numb to act, as they used their stretcher to lift Alec’s body from the vine. My sheets were shaking. Nina was nowhere to be found.From nowhere, Lucas’s face appeared. I rushed to him.“Is he alive? Please tell me he is alive.”“We hope so,” Lucas said, sounding grave, but I knew that was just an act. I rushed toward him, hysterical, and began to hit his chest.“What have you done to him? You killed him, didn’t you? You did this!”The same guards who had yanked me out of the van were back again. I turned to them, my eyes blazing with rage.“I dare one of you to touch me. Touch me, and I swear—your heads will roll.”They looked at me like I was some crazy little girl and chuckled to themselves, but they didn’t come closer. I realized Lucas was behind this. This was his world now.He peeled his gaze away from me and faced Maya.“We’ve sent for the most powerful healing me

    Vanessa I ran barefoot through a forest, with my lungs tearing, and my heart rattling so loud it might as well have been outside my chest. The sky above was silver black, and cold. The night was alive and cruel. The trees were off — wrong somehow — taller, hungrier. I knew this place, but not like this. Red eyes flashed between the trunks. My foot slammed a root. I staggered but didn’t stop.No direction felt safe. I spun left, then right, then checked behind me. Every time I looked, I expected something worse. And there it was. A figure. Crimson claws. Above me was screeching. My scream ripped out before I hit a tree. The bark scraped my back.From behind the trunk, a woman in white slipped into view. She didn’t walk. She floated. Alec was behind her, soaked in blood. His head wasn’t upright. “Vanessa,” he whispered. But his voice was two voices, layered. I stumbled backward. He pointed at me. I couldn’t move. I wanted to scream. Then a bird the size of a hawk landed on my shoul

  • The Alpha's Broken Pet   Eighty-Two

    AlecThe air stank of iron and piss and that burnt meat smell that clung to your nose even when you tried to breathe through your mouth. I couldn’t feel the soles of my feet anymore. I didn’t know if it was from the cold or from the bodies I had stepped on, some enemy, some mine. What mattered was movement. Staying still meant dying. We weaved through screams and the crush of limbs, slipping between falling bodies and dodging the heavy clubs of the northern giants. They had come with that strange war rhythm of theirs, no formation, just brute strength and that damn hollering that made the younger warriors flinch. “Do not stop!” I bellowed, voice shredded raw, throat full of dirt and ash. “Kill them all!” I didn’t have the luxury of watching every soldier, but I had seen too many of them fall already. Twenty, maybe more. I would carry the number in my ribs long after this.I lunged, caught an enemy by the collarbone, and slammed his head against a stone slab until the bone cracked.

    VanessaThe afternoon crawled. Word finally came up: the injured warriors had been brought back. Maya had gone downstairs first, sniffing for answers, with Nina right behind her.I stayed where I was. My legs weren’t listening. My heart thudded in my chest. I pressed my head to the window. The glass had warmed under the sun, and it stuck to my skin.When Nina came back, she didn’t look gutted. Her mouth wasn’t twisted with bad news, and her eyes didn’t have that wet glaze people get when they’re carrying grief.“What’s going on?” I asked, though my throat felt dry.“They’re still fighting,” she said, walking in like she didn’t want to sit still. “I don’t know who’s dead, but Alec is alive. Lucas and Gary too.”That was something. That was more than enough to lift the edge off the weight pressing down on my chest.“I hope the casualties aren’t too much.”“We don’t know yet,” she replied, rubbing her palm against her arm. “But from what the warriors said, we dealt double the damage. Tha

    VanessaMy chest would not stay still. Every breath felt like it landed wrong. I tried to sit, but couldn't. I tried lying down; that only made it worse. My arms were tense from gripping the window frame too long. I kept walking from the front window to the side window and back again.It was the same silence, broken only by the distant barking of dogs. It was the kind of barking that didn’t mean anything. Just noise. Not a signal.“Nina, do you know someone we can call? A guard, a neighbor, anyone? We can’t just sit here doing nothing. We need something. A message. A sign. Reassurance. Something.”She looked at the floor.“No word yet,” she said, then leaned back against the wall, her arms crossed. She was starting to worry too.I didn’t even realize my hand was still wrapped around Alec’s signet until I tried to stretch my fingers. It had been there the whole time, pressed into my palm, leaving a mark. I closed my fist tighter.“But I trust them,” Nina said quietly. Her gaze drifted
