Neal’s POV

The trees were too still. There was no sound. No birds. No wind. It was a bad quiet. A waiting quiet. I held up my hand in a fist. The men behind me stopped walking. We were ten. All good fighters. My fighters.

“Marcus,” I said. My voice was soft. “Do you feel it?”

My knight Marcus looked at the trees. His eyes were worried. “Yes, Alpha. The forest is dead. Something is wrong.”

I looked back the way we came. My mind was not in these woods. My mind was in the castle library. I saw Valerie’s face. I felt her head on my chest. That was where I should be. Not here. My brother Noah sent me away because he was angry. This patrol was his way of pushing me away from her.

“This is stupid,” I said to Marcus. “We walk to the river. We look. Then we go home. Fast.”

“Yes, Alpha,” Marcus said.

We started walking again. The quiet felt heavy. It pushed on my ears. Then, a smell came to me on the air. A strange smell. A smell that did not belong here. The smell of the Moonshade Pack.

  • The Dumb Cursed Heiress and Her Mates: Reborn For Revenge    The Demon's Interest

    Noah's POVThe last paper was signed. I placed my pen down on the desk. The only light in my office came from a single, a candle. Its flame danced, throwing long, moving shadows on the walls. I had been working for hours. The sun had set long ago, and the castle was filled in the deep quiet of night.I stood up, my chair scraping against the stone floor. The sound was too loud in the silence. My body was tired, but my mind would not rest.All I could see was her. Valerie. Smashing that cup from Sarah this afternoon.She had not hesitated. Her eyes were sure, her action final. She knew something. Something she would not, or could not, tell me.The demon in my head had been chewing on it all day.She defied you, the voice hissed, a constant whisper beneath my own thoughts. She broke a gift given to her Alpha. She should be punished. Make her tell you why. Force the truth from her silent lips.I walked around my desk. The voice was like an angry bee in my ear. Always there. Always pushin

  • The Dumb Cursed Heiress and Her Mates: Reborn For Revenge    The Poisoned Cup

    Valerie’s POVI watched Neal walk away from the library, his shoulders stiff. My heart felt like a stone in my chest. The warm, safe feeling from his arms was already fading, replaced by the cold air of the castle. And the cold stare of his brother.Noah did not look at me with anger. He looked at me like I was a puzzle he had solved. A quiet, satisfied smile played on his lips.“Come, wife,” he said, his voice flat. “The library is no place for you today.”I wanted to scream. I wanted to run after Neal. But my feet would not move. I was trapped. Again.I followed him out of the room, my head down. He did not take me back to my room. Instead, he led me to his office. It was a big room, full of dark wood and maps. It smelled like him, strong and a little dangerous.He pointed to a large, comfortable chair in the corner. “Sit there. You can read books about the pack. I have work to do. I want you where I can see you.”He did not want me alonel. I understood his game. I sat down, pulling

  • The Dumb Cursed Heiress and Her Mates: Reborn For Revenge    The Stolen Moment

    Neal’s POVI swung my fist into the thick tree trunk again. The bark scraped my knuckles raw. Pain shot up my arm. Good. I welcomed it. This pain was simple. It was clean. It was better than the other pain, the one that sat like a cold rock in my chest.The memory of yesterday played in my head like a bad dream. Nadia, standing so close to Noah. His hand on her arm. The look in her eyes… a look I could not read. And those flowers. The blue and yellow petals I had picked for her, now crushed on the floor. My gift, destroyed. My heart, broken.I was her mate. I was her husband. But I felt a million miles away from her right now.I hit the tree again. The leaves above me shook. I was also an Alpha of this pack. But right now, I feel like a lost boy.Suddenly, a sharp feeling cut through my anger. It was not my feeling. It came through the bond, the invisible string that tied my soul to Nadia’s.It was fear. A spike of pure, cold fear.I stopped, my breath catching. My first thought was a

  • The Dumb Cursed Heiress and Her Mates: Reborn For Revenge    The Wilted Petals  

    Nadia's POVThe heavy wooden door closed behind me with a soft click. The sound was as final as a judge hitting his desk with a small hammer to end a trial. Then I heard the lock turn. It was a sharp sound that seemed to bounce off the walls of my suddenly quiet room. I was alone. Or at least, my body was alone in this large, pretty prison. My spirit, my heart… they were not with me.They were out in the hallway, broken into pieces on the cold stone floor next to the crushed flowers Neal had brought for me. I could still feel the echo of his pain. It was like a cold, hurting wind blowing through the mate bond we shared. His hurt was like a live wire, sending little shocks through my own nerves. His broken heart was beating a rough, unsteady rhythm inside my own chest.I made myself look down, away from the door. There they were. A sad, messy collection of blue, white, and yellow. They had been so delicate. So pretty. Now they just looked like lies. Pretty little lies that had been cru

    Neal's POVThe sun was just starting to rise when I began my search. I wanted to find the perfect flowers for Valerie. Something to show her I cared. Something to make her smile after last night's pain.First, I went to the riverbank where the blue flowers grow. I knew they are her favorite color. I picked them carefully, making sure not to crush any petals. The morning dew made them sparkle just like how I see her in my eyes.Then I walked to the meadow where the white flowers bloom. They smell sweet, like honey. I thought their scent might comfort her. I gathered a bunch, being gentle with their delicate stems.My last stop was the old oak tree. That's where the yellow flowers grow. They're bright and cheerful, like sunshine. I wanted to bring some of that light to her room.My hands were full of color now. Blue, white, yellow. A rainbow of hope. I arranged them as I walked back to the castle, trying to make them look nice together.My knuck still hurt from last night after I had pu
