“I said… My mother told me Valkyrie would protect me,” I repeated, slower this time. “So when the sun rose, I crawled out of the den. There was nothing left. No bodies... No blood. Just... silence. I thought… maybe Valkyrie was a person. So I went to the nearest pack.”

My nails dug crescent moons into my wrist, sharp enough to pierce. Pain was better than drowning in memory. Pain meant I was still here.

“When I reached Oceana Pack, I asked. I begged. I searched for anyone who could tell me who Valkyrie was. The guards found me, and they didn’t answer. They just dragged me to their dungeon before I could finish the sentence.”

Silence clawed at the room. No one dared breathe. Maybe they already knew the punchline.

“They whipped me. They whipped an eleven-year-old kid for speaking one word—‘Valkyrie.’”

My throat closed. Still, I pushed.

“I didn’t even know what it meant. I thought it was my aunt’s name. That was the funny part. I smiled when I said it, like a fool. I thought they’d reco

    My chest tightened. Ezron. The name was both wound and memory. That land had taken everything from me—brothers, crown, half my soul. I’d clawed my way out of that darkness with blood on my hands and Nikolai in my arms.And now this wolf wanted to drag us back.He leaned closer again, eyes burning brighter as his thoughts brushed mine.“You’ll never lose us, Knox,” he murmured, voice threading through my mind as much as my ears.“Then why?” I rasped, my breath catching as his knee pressed harder between my legs. “We’re not ready for another war, Konstyn.”He leaned closer, breath hot against my jaw, his fingers threading into my hair. “Who said there has to be another war?”The silence that followed wasn’t peaceful. It was the calm before a storm—the kind that breaks kingdoms.And as his breath brushed my throat again, I realized something chilling.Konstyn wasn’t just after blood.He was after fate.Konstyn’s finger found my lips before I could even breathe a word.His grip shifted —

    The beast beneath my skin surged, every instinct burning with the need to claim what was mine.He didn’t fight back. He never did when I was like this. Instead, his eyes softened. The gold in them brightened, swirling like sunlight cutting through storm clouds. His hand slid to my waist, grounding me, taming me the way only he could.“It’s not sharing. I’m yours, Zaqriel. As you are mine.”My chest ached. The words hit something deep, something I’d locked away long ago. I wanted to believe him. I wanted to let that be enough. “But?” He hesitated, his thumb brushing the edge of my belt, barely there, but enough to undo me. “But I’m an Alpha. And I have to think of our pack’s safety too.”Our pack.Every time he said it that way, something in me softened—an ache buried so deep I’d forgotten it could still bleed. It started as nothing more than tolerance for his wolves. But over time, those wolves stopped being his. They’d become ours. MINE to protect. MINE to bleed for.And I’d kill—o

    ZAQRIELShe shouldn’t have looked at him like that.Not my Beloved. Not my Nikolai.The scent of her still hung in the air—sweet, sharp, uninvited. Like spilled wine on white silk. Young. Restless. Wrong. It bled into the quiet of the room, unsettling the balance I had built, the order that kept the beast in me still.I didn’t need to look at Nikolai to know what it did to him.I felt it.The bond between us thrummed beneath my skin—an echo of desire not mine but his. A flicker of curiosity. Not lust for her body, no—he wasn’t that naïve. No, this was worse. It was 'interest'. And interest was the seed of ruin.I watched the girl leave. The mortal’s steps trembled slightly, as though she’d realized too late that she had wandered into the wrong den.Something primal in me wanted to follow—only to ensure she never walked into Nik’s line of sight again.No one had ever moved Nikolai. Not even when he was drenched in war-blood, half-mad with victory, his claws still wet from slaughter.H

    I should’ve lied. I should’ve told him nothing. But when his eyes pinned me like knives, I found myself bleeding memories I swore I’d buried.“Everything?” I repeated, voice scraping my throat like glass.The bastard said it like he owned me. Like my past was some archive he could leaf through, page by page, whenever it suited him.My fingers twitched, desperate to hurl the nearest chair at his perfectly carved face. But I didn’t. Not because I was afraid. Because part of me—traitorous, stupid—wanted him to choke on the truth.I sucked in air, sharp enough to stab. “Fine.”I tore my gaze away, nails digging into the wood beneath my palm. “I grew up with two people. Solene and Andrew. And my grandmother, Jocelyn…” Her name shredded something in my chest. My throat tried to close around it. “She smelled like cloves and smoke. Crooked smile, always crooked, but never cruel. She taught me to fight before she taught me to read. She made me believe I was stronger than I ever was.”The roo

  • The Hybrid, The Prince, & I   The Truth That Burns

    KEIRAI shouldn’t feel it. Not from him. Not from the man who stole my freedom and carved his name into my nightmares. But the second he spoke, his voice detonated through me—low, deep, vibrating at the base of my spine like it owned me. I felt it in my throat. In my fingertips. In the delicious pit of me that should’ve been curdling with bile. Instead, it hollowed, a cavern begging to be filled.I hated him more for it.“I believe you’d like to know why I brought you here,” he leaned back in that throne of his like a king who knew kingdoms would burn just to kneel at his boots.“Wow.” My lips curled before my mind caught up. “Thanks for stating the obvious. You kidnapped me, stuck needles in me like some… I don’t know, lab rat? But sure. Let’s pretend I’m dying to know what’s going on in that monster brain of yours.”Behind me, Yelena sighed like she was watching a toddler toss knives.Nikolai didn’t blink. “Then shut your mouth and listen.”And I did. Barely.Because the bastard ha
