Ronan

Crawl came at me too fast.

He always did.

I caught his wrist before his strike could land and twisted, using his own momentum to drive him into the dirt. He hit hard enough to feel it but not hard enough to break anything. He rolled onto his back, air knocked from his lungs, staring up at the sky.

“Dead,” I said evenly.

Grimm circled instead of charging. Smarter. He waited for an opening, watching my footing, tracking my breathing. When he lunged, it was low and controlled. I shifted just

    RonanCrawl came at me too fast.He always did.I caught his wrist before his strike could land and twisted, using his own momentum to drive him into the dirt. He hit hard enough to feel it but not hard enough to break anything. He rolled onto his back, air knocked from his lungs, staring up at the sky.“Dead,” I said evenly.Grimm circled instead of charging. Smarter. He waited for an opening, watching my footing, tracking my breathing. When he lunged, it was low and controlled. I shifted just enough for my claws to break through skin and lengthen, catching his shoulder and pivoting him into the rock wall behind us.“Also dead.”The others stood in a loose half-circle around us, sweat darkening their collars, boots grinding against the dirt. Wallace leaned against a boulder with his arms crossed, watching without comment.“You’re still fighting like wolves,” I said, pacing in front of them. “Demons don’t fight like that.”Brad wiped blood from the corner of his mouth. “They bleed.”“

  • The Bane And The Alpha Beast   Chapter 85 – The Garden That Should Not Grow

    EliraThe fruit was sweeter today.I sat beneath the wide-limbed tree I’d coaxed from barren stone, juice staining my fingertips as I watched the branches sway in air that should not exist this deep below the world.Nothing should grow here.And yet it did.Because I willed it to.The soil had once been ash and bone. I had pressed my palms into it and whispered life into the rot. Now vines curled along obsidian walls, heavy with grapes. Fig trees leaned toward the cavern ceiling. Small white flowers bloomed where demons once bled.They had bled here.I could still feel it sometimes.Not the pain.The memory of impact.I brushed my hand over a wilted leaf and let the hum rise beneath my skin. It responded instantly — warm and golden — threading through the stem, pushing green back into what had been shriveled and dying.The leaf straightened.Alive.I smiled faintly.Footsteps echoed across the stone bridge that connected my garden to the citadel.Ash.I didn’t need to look to know it

  • The Bane And The Alpha Beast   Chapter 84 – What She No Longer Remembers

    AshMaela did not hesitate.She never did.When she left the garden, she did not look back at Elira beneath the silver-veined tree. She did not soften. She did not question. She moved with quiet efficiency through the corridors of my realm, down into the deeper wing of the citadel where the air burned warmer and the stone pulsed with older power.She found me exactly where she knew I would be. In my private chamber.I didn’t ask if she’d spoken with Elira. I simply looked at her.Maela knelt immediately, head bowed, dark hair cascading forward like a curtain. “She remembers nothing,” she said.The words struck something in me — not relief, not yet. Satisfaction.“She offered it freely,” Maela continued. “I did not press her. I only asked where she learned to weave the baskets. She couldn’t answer. She says she has no memories outside this place. Only… a void.”I exhaled slowly.Good.Very good.Maela lifted her eyes just enough to study my expression. She understood the importance of

  • The Bane And The Alpha Beast   Chapter 83 – Gardens Without Sun

    EliraBreakfast was a slow, indulgent thing here.Not rushed. Not eaten with eyes over shoulders or the constant hum of survival. The long obsidian table gleamed beneath soft light, its surface reflecting bowls of dark berries I’d coaxed into ripeness the night before, plates of seared meat, pale breads dusted with herbs I’d grown myself. The scents of salt and smoke and something faintly sweet curled in the warm air.Ash sat across from me, one arm draped lazily over the back of his chair, watching me with open interest as I ate.“You’ve changed the way this place feeds,” he said, voice thoughtful. “Demons have always been creatures of flesh and blood. But you brought color back into a realm that forgot it.”I lifted a berry to my lips, studying it before biting down. Juice burst across my tongue, sharp and bright. “I wanted something that tasted like… more than iron and fire.”He smiled faintly. “And now the gardens answer you.”After breakfast, he led me into the training hall agai

  • The Bane And The Alpha Beast   Chapter 82 – Dressing the Forgotten

    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. Watching… her.Ash thrusting into me. But not. His cock seemed inhumanly large for my standpoint. But he was a demon and so was the woman who was wearing my face so maybe that’s how she was able to take him with ease. I remembered the heat curling low in my belly. The hunger. The desire. The wetness pooled between my legs by the time I got back to my room. I remembered touching myself… maybe. Probably.But I couldn’t remember the act. Not clearly. It felt hazy. Distant. Like it had belonged to someone else, just like the body in Ash’s bed.Had I dreamed it?Then… nothing. No finish line. Just a slow fade to black like a curtain falling after a final bow.I rubbed my arms, unsettled by the silence

  • The Bane And The Alpha Beast   Chapter 81 – The Mirror That Moaned

    EliraI didn’t move.Couldn’t.My feet felt rooted to the floor, heart hammering against my ribs like it, too, was trying to make sense of what I was seeing.Ash.Still moving inside her—inside me.The not-me.He hadn’t noticed me yet. Or so I thought.Then he turned his head, slow and deliberate, like he’d known I was there the entire time.Our eyes met.And gods help me, he smiled.Not sheepish. Not startled.Just… pleased. Pleased that I was watching.His pace never faltered. If anything, it deepened. Slowed. As if to prolong it.As if to let me see every inch of what I was missing.The woman gasped and moaned again—my voice echoed through her lips, my features twisted in ecstasy. His hand gripped her tighter, his body flexing with every thrust. Sweat slid down his spine in glistening rivers, muscles working in perfec
