Chapter Eight

My eyelids fluttered and then my eyes opened only to clamp shut again because of the too bright rays of sunlight streaming into the room through the parted curtains of the window. A moan left my lips at the pain on my side.

Pulling back the blanket i sat up with difficulty having momentary memory loss. I couldn't remember where I was or why I was in such a luxurious bed. I rubbed my throbbing temple wincing. If this was a dream I wish to never wake up I thought-except maybe for t

    Chapter Forty EightTristanTristan let out another howl of pain. There was blood everywhere and Isaac just couldn’t stomach it anymore.“that’s it, I’m calling to have her brought over.”“don’t you dare!” Tristan threatened, his voice steely. Despite the immense pain he was going through he wasn’t going to be selfish and spring this on her, not unless he was absolutely sure she was ready.Isaac huffed. “you are the most insufferably Alpha in the whole planet you know that right?”“i know. Call the pack doctor instead.”It took everything in Isaac not to throw away his orders to the wind. His alpha was was deteriorating fast and he was helpless.“i already did he’s on his way.”“good.” tristan said.He’s gone deathly pale, his wounds aren’t healing as rapidly as they should anymore because he’s gone mate-less for longer than required for an alpha and yet he still wouldn’t claim Kyra as his mate.She was so close and yet so far away.His alpha refuses to tell him his reasons apart fom

    Chapter Forty SevenTristanThe moment it happened, Tristan felt it.There was no pain, no fear but a lingering absence.The bond didn’t snap—it didn’t vanish either—but it recoiled violently, like a wire pulled too tight. A sharp, hollow pull ripped through his chest, stealing the air from his lungs.Ren exploded.‘Mate. She is in danger.’“I know." He said.Tristan was on his feet before the glass shattered.His office window blew outward in a spray of crystal as he shifted mid-stride, bones cracking, skin tearing, the massive grey wolf bursting free in a surge of fury that shook the estate.Pack members scattered.Isaac was already running toward him.“She’s gone,” Tristan’s voice snarled through the link before his paws even hit the ground.“I know,” Isaac replied grimly. “Her scent disappeared near town. Cameras cut out two blocks from the diner.”Hunters.This wasn’t the same as that rogue accident.It would seem they finally got their chance.Tristan tore through the forest at

    Chapter Forty SixKyraI told myself Tristan was being paranoid.I repeated it all afternoon two days later at the diner.While refilling coffee, wiping tables and all the while pretending my hands weren’t still shaking every time someone walked in too quietly.‘He smells like trouble.’Tristan’s words wouldn’t leave me alone.Bryan had always smelled like soap and aftershave and whatever detergent his grandmother used. I’d never noticed anything metallic. Never felt threatened.But then again… I'm not a werewolf and I’d never been hunted before.“You’re awfully quiet today.” Bryan said, leaning against the counter while I rang up an order.“Long night,” I replied.He studied me for a second too long. “You sure you’re okay?”“I’m fine.”The lie tasted thin.He lowered his voice. “Your, uh, boss seems intense.”“Tristan’s not my boss.”Bryan’s lips twitched faintly. “Sure.”I bristled. “You don’t know him.”“Maybe not,” Bryan said easily. “But I know controlling when I see it.”Heat fl

    Chapter Forty FiveTristanTristan did not blink.Bryan’s smile was relaxed, friendly and concerned.In other words too controlled for Tristan's liking.Predators recognized predators.Ren stirred low in Tristan’s chest, not with the wild rage of battle—but with something colder.Wrong.“I appreciate the concern,” Tristan said evenly, every word measured. “But my estate matters are handled internally.”Bryan held his gaze without flinching. “Of course. Didn’t mean to overstep.”He shifted his attention to Kyra, softening instantly. “I just wanted to make sure you were okay.”Kyra nodded. “I’m fine.”She wasn’t.Tristan could still feel the tremor in her through the bond. A bond she still has no idea they share. Tristan had made up to tell her everything after last night but he's still hesitant because he found himself so afraid that she might not accept him. Sure, she might've been lusting over him but that was different from being told you're a mate; it's nothing like the human weddi

    Chapter Forty FourKyraCherry looked awful.And yet she still managed to grin when she saw me.“You look worse,” she croaked from the infirmary bed.I burst into tears before I could stop myself.“Oh no,” Josh muttered from the bed beside her, arm strapped and shoulder heavily bandaged. “We survived a rogue wolf, don’t let tears be what takes us out.”I laughed and wiped my face. “You’re both idiots.”Cherry reached for my hand, squeezing weakly. “Yeah. But we’re alive idiots.”The guilt hadn’t left me since last night. It sat heavy in my stomach, twisting every time I looked at the bruises lining Cherry’s ribs or the deep bite wound stitched across Josh’s shoulder.“You shouldn’t have stayed,” Cherry said gently.“I wasn’t gonna leave you all by yourselves.”“That’s not the point,” Josh said. “You’re not trained for that.”The words stung, even though I knew he didn’t mean them cruelly.“I’m tired of being the helpless one,” I admitted quietly.Cherry’s expression softened. “You’re

    Chapter Forty ThreeTristanThe clearing was empty now, scrubbed of blood and chaos, but the scent lingered—fear, violence, death— It coated the back of his throat, mixing with something far worse.Guilt.Ren paced violently beneath his skin, hackles raised, rage bleeding into every nerve.'She should never have been there.'“I know,” Tristan muttered, voice rough.Isaac approached quietly, stopping beside him. “Perimeter’s secure. Patrols doubled. No other movement.”“That rogue wasn’t alone,” Tristan said flatly.Isaac’s brow furrowed. “You think it was a probe?”“I know it was.” Tristan turned, eyes cold. “Rogues don’t wander this close unless they’re pushed…or paid.”Hunters.The word was a blade in his mind.They were escalating. Testing response time. Drawing him out.And Kyra had been standing right in the middle of it.Tristan dragged a hand through his hair, the image of her frozen in terror replaying over and over. He’d seen that look before in pack members who’d survived ma

    Chapter Twenty EightTristan came back with food as promised but Kyra was already fast asleep. She looked so peaceful and innocent-which hurt his heart- and very much human. The moon goddess must really enjoy playing sick jokes on him, out of all the shewolves…it had to be an insignificant human and

    Chapter Twenty Seven I buried my face in his chest as we walked through the throng of werewolves. I didn't strain my ears to hear what they were whispering about me. When we were finally out of ear shot I pulled back and said, "you can put me down now I can walk perfectly fine.""Be quiet."A retort w

    Chapter Twenty SixI woke up with a start gasping as my right arm protested from having slept on it. I had no idea how I managed to fall asleep on the floor of the woods or for how long I had slept but judging from the inky sky and twinkling stars and the bright moon I'd say it's been awhile.The moon
