Kael

Ronin’s report sits in my chest like a blade I can’t pull out.

Not because it surprises me.

Because it confirms exactly how deep this rot goes.

Inside my fortress.

Inside my walls.

Inside the place I promised Elara would be safe.

I stand in the strategy chamber with the doors barred and only my inner circle present—Ronin, Lucian, and two captains I trust with my life. The map on the table is covered in fresh markings now. Not borders.

Weaknesses.

“They were never here to attack,” Ronin says. “They were mapping. Routes. Wards. Guard changes. The old tunnel under the west cliff is compromised.”

I stare at the mark he’s made there.

“That tunnel was sealed before my father’s time,” I say.

“They reopened it from the outside,” Lucian answers grimly. “Or tried to. The wards there were… tested.”

Tested.

Everything is being tested.

Like we’re a puzzle someone is learning how to solve.

“The Witch doesn’t want chaos,” I say slowly. “She wants precision.”

Ronin nods. “She’s not trying to kil

    KaelThe first horn blast reaches my bones before it reaches my ears.It rolls through the fortress like a warning meant for the stone itself—low, urgent, unmistakable. Not a drill. Not a routine shift. The kind of call that means blood has already been spilled somewhere beyond these walls.I’m on my feet before the last echo fades, pulling on boots, buckling my belt, reaching for the blade that feels like an extension of my hand at this point. Elara is sitting upright in bed, eyes wide, one hand instinctively over her stomach.I hate that she has learned fear in this place.I hate it more that she has learned to hide it.“What is it?” she asks, voice steady even as her scent sharpens with worry.I cross the room in two strides and cup her face, forcing myself to slow, to ground her with something solid.“Stay here,” I tell her. “Don’t open the door for anyone but me.”Her chin lifts. “Kael—”“Elara.” I keep my voice firm, not unkind. “This is not the time to argue.”Her eyes flick to

    ElaraI wake up with the feeling that the world is holding its breath.Not in a peaceful way.In the way it does right before something breaks.Kael is still beside me, one arm heavy and warm around my waist, his breathing slow but not deep. Even in sleep, he isn’t truly resting. His wolf never does.Mine stirs the moment my eyes open.Wrong.The word isn’t fear. It’s… awareness. Like a pressure change before a storm.“I know,” I whisper, keeping my voice low so I don’t wake him. My hand drifts to my stomach, to the quiet, steady warmth there. “I feel it too.”The room is dim, ward-lights glowing faintly in the stone. This is the third room in two days. I’ve stopped trying to remember the paths between them. Kael says that’s the point.I ease out of his arms carefully. He doesn’t wake, but his hand tightens for a moment like his body notices the absence before his mind does.I move to the window and look out.The inner courtyard is quiet. Too quiet.Guards are there, of course. Always

    WitchThey always think the first blade is the real one.It never is.I watch the echoes of the failed attempt ripple through the Veil like disturbed water. The fortress flares with defensive light. Wards tighten. Lives rearrange themselves around fear and devotion and very loud promises.Kael is predictable in the most useful ways.He hardens.He encloses.He turns inward and builds walls inside walls.And in doing so, he narrows his world to a single, precious center.Elara.And the small, growing thing inside her.I smile as the scrying basin steadies. The assassin was never meant to succeed. She was meant to measure. To confirm. To teach me how quickly he would react and how far he would bend reality to keep one fragile thread uncut.Very far, as it turns out.Good.That means he will break beautifully.I trail my fingers through the air and the Veil parts, reluctantly, like a wound that has learned it cannot heal while I am here. I see the fortress shifting—new routes, new rooms,

    RoninThe assassin’s body is still warm when I start pulling threads.That’s the first rule: don’t wait for the story to settle. Don’t give fear time to turn into rumors or grief into excuses. When someone manages to get that close to the Alpha’s mate inside a locked-down fortress, you don’t ask if there are others.You assume there are.I leave two guards with the body and move fast, boots echoing through corridors I know like my own bones. The keep has a rhythm. It always has. Tonight, it’s off-beat.“Seal the east and south service passages,” I bark to a captain as I pass. “No one in or out without my mark.”“Yes, Beta!”I hate that title sometimes. It means I’m always the one counting doors and bodies while Kael carries the weight of the world. But this—this is my kind of war.Quiet. Close. Personal.The first place I go is the servants’ registry.Ink. Names. Assignments. Rotations. On any normal day it’s a boring stack of ledgers that only the quartermasters care about.Tonight,

  • The Cursed Alpha’s Wolfless Omega   Chapter 118

    The moment her body hits the floor and doesn’t move again, something inside me goes very still.Not calm.Not relief.The kind of stillness that comes right before a storm tears the sky open.“She’s dead,” someone says.I already know.I can smell the poison on her breath. Bitter. Alchemical. Witch-made.Coward’s work.I don’t look at the body again. I don’t care about it anymore.I only look at Elara.She’s standing there, too pale, too quiet, one hand pressed protectively over her stomach, the other clenched in my sleeve like she’s afraid if she lets go, the world will tilt again.My wolf is roaring.Mine.I take her face in my hands and force her to look at me.“Are you hurt?”She shakes her head, but she’s shaking.“I don’t think so. I—I pushed her.”I can feel the echo of that power in the room. The fractured stone. The warped air.Good.She defended herself.She defended our child.I pull her into my arms and hold her like I can shield her from the entire world if I just hold he
