ASH

The noise in the forest, the wigs through the trees, insects, the distant call of wolves… they were all drowned out by the sound of blood rushing in my ears.

Move.

Every instinct I had screamed at me to step back, to put distance between us before this turned into something I couldn’t undo.

But my body refused.

Iris stood a few feet away, as still as a statue. Her scent was thick in the air… it was overwhelming. Wrapping around my lungs like smoke and dragging me under.

This wasn’t normal.

  • The Alphas Broken Mate   Chapter 6

    IRISEverything felt weird the second I woke up.The air felt too hot, the sun too bright, my body still buzzed but my mind couldn’t care enough to remember why.My eyes fluttered open, vision blurrying and the second I pushed myself off my bed, my head throbbed. A throaty groan escaped my lips before I could stop it, the sound grating on my already sensitive ears.My fingers dug into an unfamiliar mattress. I stilled. This wasn’t my bed. It was colder and not nearly as worn in.I blinked away the haze and slowly, my surroundings came into focus.Small. Clean… like sterile clean. A single bed wedged against the wall. The guest rooms. I was still on pack grounds.The knot in my chest loosened, but not enough for relief.How did I get here?I forced my eyes shut, shutting out the sound of sheets rustling and breeze bellowing. The images flashed violently beneath my eyelids. The woods. The run. Then a sound and then…Nothing.No matter how hard I pushed, my mind wouldn’t go past that sce

    ASHThe noise in the forest, the wigs through the trees, insects, the distant call of wolves… they were all drowned out by the sound of blood rushing in my ears. Move.Every instinct I had screamed at me to step back, to put distance between us before this turned into something I couldn’t undo.But my body refused.Iris stood a few feet away, as still as a statue. Her scent was thick in the air… it was overwhelming. Wrapping around my lungs like smoke and dragging me under.This wasn’t normal.Her eyes locked on mine. Confusion and something darker flickering in them. But just as quickly it came, that expression was extinguished, replaced by a calmer, deadlier look.The kind of look that would make men jump to their deaths.I balled my hands into a fist, claw digging into my palm. Iris was Ryker’s ex. And someone very special to Kade. Although we were going through a rough patch now, we were brothers. But my wolf thought otherwise. He didn’t care, not when her scent was everywhere,

  • The Alphas Broken Mate   CHAPTER 4

    IRISEven after decades of growing up around him, I didn't know a single thing about Ash. Except that people found him terrifying.I never understood why.“Are you alright?” His warm hands still lingering on my arm.Say something.“Yeah, I just-wasn’t looking,” I said, forcing out a small, awkward laugh.Ash just stood there, staring into my soul like he was trying to find something missing.Okayyyy.I stepped back. His grip tightened. My brows pulled together. “Ash-““You're lying.” I blinked, scoffing before I could stop myself. “Excuse me?”“Something's wrong.” He doubled down. “Tell me. What is it?”There was something about the way he said it. Not demanding or forceful. Just… sure. Like he already knew I was on the verge of falling apart and didn’t judge me for it or look at me like I was a broken doll that needed to be fixed. And somehow, that was enough.The words came before I could stop them.Everything I’d held back since they found Katrina’s body spilled out of me in

    IRISThe morning after Katrina’s funeral was worse than the day before. Camille had somehow convinced me to have breakfast with the rest of the pack, trying to get everything back to normal… but nothing was, not anymore.“Elder Rain would be furious if she catches you toying with her cooking like that.”I blinked down at my plate. My spoon hovered halfway to my mouth before I realized I hadn’t moved in a while. I set it down carefully, forcing my hands to stop shaking as I shifted in my seat.“I just don’t understand how everyone can act so…”“Normal?” Alpha Kade finished for me.I nodded weakly, already feeling my throat tightening. He sighed deeply. “We all loved Katrina.” He said quietly. “You and I more than most but the bitter truth is that we have to look toward the future.”My jaw tightened.“The pack doesn’t stop because we’re hurting, Iris. If we fall apart, then everything she’s fought to build falls with us.”My eyes stung, Alpha Kade’s eyes softened. He reached across th

    RYKERI stood at the doorway, watching as Iris unraveled.It took a second for her composure to slip back into place, and with it, her rage.The look in her eyes felt like a thousand silver knives were being fired at my chest. I hated it but still, I did what I’d always done. Let my mask slip into place.A smirk tugged at my lip as I entered fully into the hall.Iris didn’t bother holding back her sneer as she stood. “I’ll… meet you back at the house.” She mumbled to Kade, purposely avoiding any other person in the space.She didn’t give him a chance to respond before bolting out through the other entrance. A ploy to avoid me completely I assumed.“Not everything is about you.” Ash interjected like he could hear my thoughts but his eyes never left the door Iris had walked out of. Eventually, he tore his gaze away clenching his jaw like it personally offended him. “Let’s just do what we came here to do and leave.”Ash and his undying hatred for this place. I ignored his grumpy reque

  • The Alphas Broken Mate   Chapter 1

    IRISThe rain poured from the sky heavily, washing everything tangible away, my sanity included. My eyes stayed fixed on the headstone in front of me, my fingers tightening around the rose stem until the thorns bit into my skin. I barely registered the sting.Water soaked through my clothes, making everything slick but I barely felt it. The only thought I could muster was that my best friend was dead. Killed by a rogue.I was never going to hear her laugh, or complain about how hard it is being Luna of the Elderwood pack. My wolf howled inside, matching the grief that threatened to swallow me.I didn’t hear the footsteps until they stopped beside me. The rain ceased above my head, blocked by something solid. I didn’t need to turn to know who it was.“I miss her.” I forced out, my voice was hoarse from lack of use.Alpha Kade released a deep sigh, then his arm wrapped around my shoulder, firm enough to let me know that I wasn’t alone.“I know, Iris.” He murmured. “I do too. But you nee
