* Ivan *

My love for Dorina never changes, even with the fact that his father might be behind my troubled past. I love her but it doesn't mean I would let go of the justice that my family deserves. Now I am halfway to finally learning the truth.

The next morning came with good weather like any usual day but Dorina received an important invitation from the Palace. I saw her holding a letter with the Palace seal while standing barefoot in the kitchen.

A celebration of her brother and sister-in-la

  • The Bastard Wolf   Chapter 98. A Survivor

    * Ivan *There was a call that came just after midnight. Not from the Palace. It wasn't from my warriors on our borders. But surprisingly from the human town three valleys over, Elm's Crossing. The humans don't have mind-links. They have an old radio in their mayor's house that Beta Mikael gave them years ago for emergencies."Alpha Ivan? Alpha Ivan, please!” Static followed. There was loud screaming in the background. Not a wolf's scream that was too loud. Human screams.Beta Mikael was already pulling on his boots when he called me. "Rogues are doing dirty work this time. A Big pack. Not from our usual enemy. They came down from the north ridge, missed our patrol, and now they hit the human village instead."I didn't think again. I grabbed my jacket, with my claws already out."Dorina must stay here and be safe," I said. "Lock the Alpha house. Lucian stays with her."Dorina was already up, tying her robe, her eyes wide. Lucian was in the doorway, twelve years old, half-shifted befor

  • The Bastard Wolf   Chapter 97. No Sibling

    * Dorina *There was no luck. That's what healer Mira said, gently, with her hand on mine. It kept repeating at the end of every month until it became years."No luck yet, Luna." She gave her sympathetic look and shook her head which I clearly understood.She didn't say "never." Just "not yet." I took note of some possibilities. I am healthy and young so it wouldn't be impossible for me to conceive again. After that intimate date in the river cabin, Ivan and I tried. Moon Goddess knows we tried our best. We took the old pickup to the cabin twice more that year. We stopped counting months on the calendar like it was a curse, as Matilda told me to. I went to Mira, our Green Meadows great healer, not just the Palace healer. She checked my monthly cycle, gave me bitter teas, told me to sleep more, and to worry less because I'm still young. I laughed at that. Luna who doesn't sleep, was told to sleep more.Ivan was being sweet about it. He never asked me that question "Are you?" every mo

  • The Bastard Wolf   Chapter 96. Alone in the Cabin

    * Ivan *When I came home from pack duties Matilda told me to take Dorina to the river cabin. Not in those usual words. Matilda never says things directly. She told me, "Alpha, the river patrol needs checking, and Luna needs fresh air, and that old cabin has a leak, you should fix it," while looking at me like I was the stupidest Alpha alive.I understood it. So I took Dorina's hand that night after Lucian asked if we were still there, and I said, "Tomorrow, you and me. Let's take the old truck. No patrol or Luna duties. Just the two of us."She blinked. "But Lucian.""Will stay with Matilda for one night. He is ten years old. He survived a hunter, Dorina. He can survive one night without us watching him breathe."She laughed, then cried a little, then nodded. The next morning, I did something I haven't done in ten years. I told Beta Mikael, "Two reasons that I will make you disturb me. One, if a rogue crosses, call me; and two, if the border burns. But if it's paperwork, burn it you

  • The Bastard Wolf   Chapter 95. A Sibling

    * Dorina *We were lucky that the old pickup didn't break down on the way home. That was a good sign. Ivan drove with one hand on the wheel, the other holding mine across the console, and Lucian slept in the backseat the whole way, finally, deeply, his head tipped against the window, his hand still holding Ivan's sleeve through the gap like when he was just a baby boy.When we finally arrived at the Green Meadows, Ivan carried him inside, straight to his bed. He didn't wake even when Ivan took off his dirty boots. Ten years old, first kill, and he slept like he was six months old again, curled on his side.I stood in the doorway and watched Ivan sit on the edge of the bed, just watching him breathe. Just to make sure he was still there. The way Ivan watched him the night he was born.That night, after Lucian finally stopped whimpering in his sleep, Ivan pulled me close."He asked me in the truck," Ivan whispered into my hair. "Before he fell asleep. He said, 'Papa, if I had a little b

  • The Bastard Wolf   Chapter 94. Go Home

    * Ivan *I broke every speed rule riding my old car to the Palace. Dorina's text came at two fourteen PM. Come get us early? Then Prince Douglas's text came at three-seven PM. Just a few words. It says, Come now. Bring the old car. South field.My mother-in-law, Queen Arriane called. Her voice was shaking. "Ivan, drive carefully, but come. Lucian is, Aaron is okay, but Lucian… something happened just come."My wolf didn't pace. He roared inside of me. He ripped through me and I almost shifted behind the wheel of my own truck.I left Beta Mikael in charge, grabbed the keys to my old pickup, not the Land Cruiser, because the Land Cruiser was already there, dusty in the Palace garden, and drove.Two hours of road that felt like ten long hours. I kept seeing Lucian's letter in my drawer. I will practice staying behind Aaron. He didn't stay behind.When I pulled through the Palace gates, it was too quiet. No music at the party. No more birthday, was it finished? The tables from Princess Ra

  • The Bastard Wolf   Chapter 93. The Incident

    * Dorina *I should have known boys would be boys, and they didn't listen. After the cake, and right after Douglas squeezed my shoulder and said "South Field has a double patrol," I watched them. Prince Aaron and Lucian. They were sitting by the old green Land Cruiser, eating the last of the frosting straight from the plate with their fingers, whispering to each other. That whisper that I failed to understand. But I know that whisper. It's the same whisper Prince Douglas and I used when we were pups and Father told us not to go to the river.Lucian looked at me and waved. "We will stay in the garden, Mama!"I believed him because I wanted the birthday to be perfect. So I just nodded. Princess Ravel was finally asleep on Mandy's chest, with frosting in her hair. My mother, the Queen was humming. Father had gone inside to take a call about the south line. Everything felt safe again so I breathed easy.Ten minutes had passed. I just looked away for ten minutes to help Mandy clean Princ
