Wren

I'm not there when it happens, and I don't think I'll ever stop hating myself for that.

Miriam shows up at my door at dawn, tight-lipped and urgent, saying she needs me to come with her right away; this can't wait until later, like she said it could last night. I go without arguing, half-asleep, still wearing yesterday's clothes, and we're three streets over by the time I even think to ask where we're going.

"My clinic," she says. "Somewhere private. I need to show y

    Wren"Easy."The word comes from somewhere deep inside my own chest, low and warm, nothing like the snarling, instinct-driven thing that tore through those men in the clearing a few minutes ago. It doesn't feel like a thought. It feels like a voice, separate from mine but not a stranger either, like something that's always been there, just waiting for me to be quiet enough to hear it.She isn't a threat. Stand down.I don't know how I know it's my wolf talking to me. I just know, the same bone-deep certainty that told me Bron was mine the second I saw him across that ballroom. My whole body's still trembling, still riding the aftershock of a shift I didn't choose and barely survived, and underneath the fear, that voice keeps talking, patient, steady, like she's done this a thousand times even though I know for a fact this is the first time either of us has ever spoken at all.My name is Vesper, she says, quiet, almost gentle. You can trust me. I wo

  • The Alpha's Forbidden Omega   Chapter 15 - Wren

    WrenThe last thing I remember clearly is the burning.Not the bond-ache, not the familiar hook under my ribs. This is different, bigger, spreading fast through every part of me at once, like something that's been sleeping my whole life just woke up all at once and doesn't know how to be gentle about it."Stay behind me," Bron says, low, and I try to. I really do. But my body isn't listening to me the way it's supposed to anymore.The men spread out through the trees, six of them now that I can count, moving with the same predatory calm as the one who spoke first, and none of them look afraid of an Alpha standing his ground in front of them, which terrifies me more than anything else about this whole moment. Bron's dangerous. Everyone knows Bron's dangerous. These men look at him like he's an inconvenience instead of a threat."Last chance to make this easy," the lead man says, eyes flicking past Bron to me, and something about the way he looks at

    Bron"How many?” I say, already moving and pulling my jeans off the floor with the phone wedged against my shoulder."I don't know exactly. Enough that he's not calling it a conversation." Serena's voice is tight, rushed, nothing like the polished calm I've known her to wear for two years straight. "He's been on the phone in his study since midnight. I only caught pieces, but I heard staff housing, I heard tonight, and I heard him tell someone not to bother bringing her back alive if it complicates things."Ice floods straight down my spine. "Where are they now?”"Leaving the estate. Maybe twenty minutes out from you, if they're not already closer." A pause, something rawer bleeding into her voice. "Bron, I don't care about the engagement anymore. I don't care about any of it; I just don't want to be part of whatever this turns into. Get her out of there.""Why are you telling me this?” I ask, suspicion growing in my chest.

    BronI don't leave her that night. I don't even ask if I should. I just stay, and she doesn't tell me to go, and that's the closest thing to permission either of us seems capable of giving right now.My father's security is posted outside staff housing by sundown, two men at the end of the block, another pair rotating through the tree line behind it, more coverage than I've ever seen him put on anything that wasn't a business asset. It should make me feel better. It doesn't. Every extra guard just reminds me how real the threat actually is, how close somebody already got to touch a mark she's spent her whole life hiding.Wren hasn't said much since the photo. She sits curled on the end of her bed with her knees pulled up, staring at nothing, and I sit in the chair across from her because I don't know what else to do with myself, because leaving isn't an option my body seems willing to consider tonight."You don't have to stay," she says finally, quiet, th

    WrenNobody says anything for a long time after Damon leaves.Miriam busies herself with something on her desk that doesn't need doing, papers shuffled and reshuffled, hands still not quite steady. Bron stands by the window, watching the empty driveway like his father might come back, jaw locked tight, shoulders rigid in a way that makes him look like he's holding something together by pure force of will.I sit on the exam table with my knees pulled up to my chest, and I don't say anything either, because I don't know what there is left to say. Twenty minutes ago I didn't know my own bloodline had a name. Now I know it has a name, a history, a purge, and a man who might still be hunting the last of it."I need air," I say finally, because the walls of this room feel like they're closing in, and Miriam nods without looking up, too tired to argue.Bron follows me out without asking if he should.The morning's gone gray and cold, mist still cli

  • The Alpha's Forbidden Omega   Chapter 11 - Bron

    BronI'm standing between Wren and the door before my father even makes it inside.He walks in like he owns the building, because technically he does, the same way he owns half of everything in this territory, and behind him are two of his personal security men, men I've known my whole life, men who used to teach me how to throw a punch when I was twelve years old and are now standing in a doorway looking at me like they're waiting to find out whose side they're supposed to be on."Get out," I say, before he's even fully through the door."That's an interesting way to greet your father." His eyes move past me, past Miriam, and land on Wren sitting frozen on the exam table, and something happens on his face that I've genuinely never seen before. Not anger. Not disgust. Something closer to recognition, sharp and sudden, like he's just confirmed something he already suspected."You knew," I say slowly, watching that look settle into place. "You alread
