(Kael)

I couldn't sleep that night.

My mind was like a battlefield for my conflicting thoughts.

Eira’s face came first, as it always did when the shadows lingered…..i saw the curve of her smile, the strength of her hand in mine, the way her laugh used to fill these halls. Then came the grave silence, the blood, the betrayal. The night I failed her.

I had sworn never again.

And yet, the girl’s stubborn face intruded on the memory, dirt plastered across her cheek, her lips parting as she gasped out that single word—“Again.”

I clenched my fists so hard on my palm that my claws injured my palm, drawing blood.

River’s words haunted me: She does not belong to us.

He was right. She was a stranger, a risk, a reminder of everything I had lost. But my wolf did not agree. My wolf had stirred the moment I saw her cross the training field, not giving up despite her weakness. It whispered of bonds, of fate, of second chances I didn’t ask for.

It was midnight but I still couldn't sleep.

I decided t

  • The Alpha's Second Bond   Whispers in the Dark.

    (Lyra)The pack was quiet, except for the soft chorus of the crickets and the occasional rustle of leaves as a result of the wind blowing harshly on the trees. Outside, rain tapped against the shutters, a steady rhythm that should have been soothing enough for me to fall asleep. My body was beyond spent—every muscle screamed, my arms and legs trembled with each small shift against the thin mattress, and my raw knuckles throbbed painfully with each beat of my pulse.I thought exhaustion would drag me under instantly. I thought sleep would be my reward. But when I closed my eyes, peace never came.The dream swallowed me whole.It started with silence. Too heavy to be natural, the kind that pressed against my chest and made me strain for every breath. The air was thick and filled with the faint metallic scent of blood. I blinked and found myself standing in a forest stripped bare of my clothes, trees clawing at the sky with skeletal branches. The ground beneath my bare feet was cold and

  • The Alpha's Second Bond   Fractures in Control

    (Kael)Sleep refused me again. I kept tossing and turning as images of her kept popping up in my head overshadowing my moments of sleep.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her with those bloodied knuckles, fire in her eyes, that stubborn mouth shaping words that cut deeper than blades. “Maybe you’re the one being tested.”Tested.Haunted.Unraveled.By morning, I had convinced myself that work would drown her out. Reports. Patrol routes. Council meetings. The duties of an Alpha were endless, and usually they swallowed every stray thought. But not today.Even as I signed orders and sent warriors to the borders, her voice threaded through my skull: I won’t break.I had earlier requested the presence of the council so we could discuss what actions to take about the strange girl. Yes, my wolf recognized her as a mate but I had to be loyal to my pack first before my feelings. She arrived at our border with no scent, no memory of her past and no pack had sort out to claim her as one of the

  • The Alpha's Second Bond   The Wolf's Whisper

    (Kael)The wolf inside me broke forward, clawing at the edges of my control. Her defiance called to it like blood to flame.I narrowed my eyes, fighting the instinct that demanded I close the space between us. She was too fragile, too untrained. My wolf didn’t care. It saw only strength in her refusal to yield, in the way her scraped hands trembled but did not drop.“You’ll regret those words,” I said coldly, forcing my voice into steel. “Strength isn’t built overnight. It’s earned with pain that never leaves.”Her lips curved into the faintest smile, bitter and stubborn. Like she was mocking me. “Then I’ll pay the price.”The air tightened between us. I could hear her heartbeat. It was too fast, too wild…echoing in my ears. Or maybe it was my own.I should have walked away. That was the smart thing, the Alpha thing. But instead, I reached down and grabbed her wrist, forcing her scraped knuckles open so I could see the raw skin. She flinched, but didn’t pull back.“Fool,” I muttered.

  • The Alpha's Second Bond   The Wolf Who stands

    (Kael) I stood in a corner and watched as the training ground came alive. The sounds of fists hitting the flesh, bodies colliding and commands shouted into the cool morning air. My warriors moved like a single unit. They were sharp, disciplined, and relentless. But my attention wasn’t on them. It was on her. The strange girl. She stood there in the dirt, wobbling on legs that had no business being on a battlefield, facing ridicule she hadn’t earned but couldn’t avoid. Every mistake she made, every time she hit the ground, the laughter stung my ears more than I wanted to admit. I wanted to make them pay for laughing at her but I couldn't. I told myself that I was here to make sure that Leo didn't break her so soon and that she was being tested, nothing more. But I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the way she kept getting back up. Most wolves give up before the second fall. Pride makes them retreat, shame pushes them to the edges of the field where they hide their weakness. But n

  • The Alpha's Second Bond   Into the Training grounds

    (Lyra)Morning light streamed into the curtains, casting a golden glow in the polished wood floors. I had slept soundly last night. No nightmares, no cries of pain ringing in my head. The Alpha's words kept ringing in my head before I dozed off last night; You'll train.The idea had both terrified and gladdened me. I didn’t belong here, not really. But now, for the first time since waking up with no memories, I had been given a role. A chance. Maybe if I learned to fight, I would also learn who I really was. Or at least know my damn name.A knock at the door startled me and forced me out of my thoughts. It opened before I answered, and River stepped inside. His expression was its usual unreadable mask, but I noticed the faint crease in his brows.“Get up,” he said shortly. “The Alpha has ordered you to begin training today.”So it wasn’t a dream.I was indeed going to train today.I stood up quickly and smoothed the borrowed clothes someone had left for me the night before. “Training?
