Elira

Wallace led me out behind the cabin, past the garden where frost still clung to the leaves, and into the trees. The air was sharp with cold and pine, and my breath came in soft clouds.

“Right here’s fine,” he said, scanning the clearing like it could shift beneath our feet.

I glanced around. “What are we doing exactly?”

He turned to face me, arms crossed over his chest. “We’re teaching you how to vanish.”

I blinked. “Excuse me?”

He grinned faintly. “Not literally. Not yet. But if you mast

  • The Bane And The Alpha Beast   Chapter 125 – You Don’t Get to Ignore This

    ZaneI knew.That was the part I couldn’t get past, no matter how hard I tried to push it down or pretend it hadn’t happened.From the moment I saw him in that cabin, something in me had recognized him in a way that didn’t ask permission and didn’t wait for me to catch up. It hadn’t been confusion or curiosity. It had been immediate, sharp, and absolute, like something inside me had stepped forward and claimed him before I had a chance to think.Mate.The word had hit me just as hard as it had hit him, and that was exactly why I didn’t want to deal with it.I moved on instinct when we stopped, swinging down from the horse and reaching up to help Bella without thinking too deeply about it. My hands settled at her waist as I lifted her down, steadying her as her feet hit the ground.She slipped—just enough to make it believable—and fell into me with a soft laugh.“I’ve got you,” I muttered, catching her easily.Her hand lingered against my chest, her body still close, and I let it happe

  • The Bane And The Alpha Beast   Chapter 124 – The Ride Back

    EliraThe journey out of the wastelands felt longer than it should have.Not because the distance had changed, but because everything between us had.The cart rolled steadily beneath us, the rhythm of the wheels blending with the soft, uneven cadence of hooves against dry ground as we moved farther from the harsh stillness of the wastelands and closer to something that resembled life again. The air shifted gradually, losing that hollow, watchful edge, but the tension inside our small group didn’t ease with it.If anything, it tightened.Caelan sat beside me, one arm resting loosely along the back of the cart, his posture relaxed enough for anyone looking to think nothing was wrong—but I felt the subtle awareness in him, the way his attention kept drifting forward without him fully turning his head.Because of them.Dex rode ahead of us on his own horse, his back straight, his movements controlled in a way that didn’t match the usual easy confidence I had seen from him earlier. There w

  • The Bane And The Alpha Beast   Chapter 123 – Not What He Wanted

    EliraSomething shifted the moment Zane stepped through the door.Dex went still in a way that would have gone unnoticed if I hadn’t been watching him already. It wasn’t obvious, nothing dramatic enough to draw attention from the others, but it was there in the subtle tightening through his shoulders, in the way his focus narrowed too quickly, locking onto Zane as though the rest of the room had quietly fallen away.Zane didn’t notice at first. He stepped inside like he had any other time, his attention moving through the space, taking in the supplies, the people, the shift in atmosphere without giving it much thought.Then his gaze landed on Dex.And held.Not long enough to be called out, not long enough for anyone else to question it, but just long enough to feel like something had passed between them without a single word being spoken.Caelan and I had been the only ones to hear Dex’s whispered declaration. I felt the shift in Caelan beside me, the subtle turn of his head as he c

  • The Bane And The Alpha Beast   Chapter 122 – The One He Didn’t Know

    EliraThe path to the next cabin felt shorter.Not because the distance had changed, but because something in me had finally settled into the rhythm of what we were doing. We weren’t searching anymore. We weren’t reacting. We were gathering—pulling together the pieces of a life that had been scattered and forced into survival for far too long.By the time Brad, Crawl, and Dex’s cabin came into view, the weight of the wastelands felt different beneath my feet. Still harsh. Still watchful. But no longer suffocating.The door stood open.Dex was already inside.He moved with a kind of focused efficiency that didn’t match the chaotic reputation I’d heard about the three of them. Bags were stacked neatly along the wall, blankets folded with surprising care, smaller items grouped together in ways that suggested he had already thought through what would be easiest to transport.He glanced up as we stepped inside, his expression shifting immediately as his gaze landed on Caelan.A slow smirk

  • The Bane And The Alpha Beast   Chapter 121 – What We Leave Behind

    EliraMorning came easier than it should have.That was the first thing I noticed as I stepped outside the cabin, the early light stretching across the wastelands in pale, muted tones that softened the harshness of the land just enough to make it feel almost… still. Not welcoming, not peaceful, but quiet in a way that didn’t press against my nerves the way it had when we first arrived.After everything that had happened the night before, I expected to feel it.The tension.The unease.The lingering edge of danger.Instead, there was only a steady awareness sitting beneath the surface, not gone, but no longer sharp enough to keep me from breathing.We had slept.All of us.And not the restless kind of sleep that came from exhaustion, but something deeper, something that had settled into my bones like the world had decided to give us a moment before demanding more.It didn’t make sense.But I wasn’t going to question it.Behind me, I heard movement inside the cabin as Caelan and Zane be

  • The Bane And The Alpha Beast   Chapter 120 – Into the Wastelands

    EliraThe further we traveled, the more the world seemed to change.It didn’t happen all at once, and it wasn’t something I could point to directly at first. The land didn’t suddenly darken or twist into something unrecognizable, but there was a gradual shift in the way everything felt beneath us. The air grew thinner, quieter in a way that didn’t feel natural, and the ground lost the warmth it had carried near the villages, turning dry and brittle beneath the steady rhythm of the horses’ hooves.The wastelands.Even before we crossed fully into them, I felt it settling into my bones.Grimm slowed slightly as he rode ahead, his posture shifting from relaxed to alert in a way that didn’t need to be announced.“Keep an eye out,” he called back, his voice carrying easily over the open stretch of land. “Rogues like to linger out here.”Brad didn&rsq

    RonanThe five minutes of rest ended quickly.No one said it out loud, but we all understood the same thing: the longer we wandered through the labyrinth, the more exhausted we would become. Even if the monster roaming somewhere behind us never caught up, the maze itself could wear us down just as

    EliraI didn’t remember falling asleep.My fingers curled in the sheets, still damp with sweat. My skin tingled, flushed in places I didn’t understand. My breath hitched before I even sat up.Something had happened. Something I couldn’t name.I remembered the sound of him. The sound of me. Watchin

    EliraAsh’s fingers slid through my hair. The silver-handled brush moved in gentle strokes, taming each wave as if it answered only to him. I sat perfectly still, not because I had to, but because I wanted to. The feeling of someone else brushing my hair is divine. The mirror reflected a woman who
