Archer POV

The dawn light filtered through the heavy velvet curtains. Beside me, Maya lay in a deep, undisturbed slumber. Her breathing was rhythmic, a soft, delicate sound that seemed out of place in a room that usually smelled of nothing.

I watched her for a long time, my gaze tracing the line of her shoulder where the linen had fallen away. I had been careful with her. Gentler than I ever thought my hands were capable of being. She was a means to an end, a vessel sent to carry the weight of

  • The Last Of Her Pack   #91.

    Maya POVMy sister lay tucked under the heavy quilts of the guest bed, her eyes soft as she listened to me ramble. For hours, I had poured out every detail about Archer, not the fearsome Alpha the rumors spoke of, but the man who had looked at me with a tenderness I didn't think I deserved. I told her about the way he listened, the way he made me feel shielded rather than caged, and the quiet strength he carried that seemed to steady my own frantic heart. Sharing those "good things" felt like a confession of hope, a tiny spark I was finally allowing myself to fan into a flame.But the morning light brought a different kind of energy. A knock at the door signaled that my sanctuary was temporary."The Alpha wants to see you in his office, Maya," the messenger said.My stomach did a nervous flip. Archer’s office was a place of business, of weight and decisions. When I walked in, he was standing by the window, his silhouette broad and imposing against the dawn. He turned as I entered, and

  • The Last Of Her Pack   #90.

    The weight of the throne felt different today. But as I sat there, the silence of the great hall echoing with my own breathing, my mind wasn't on pack borders. It was on the conversation I’d just clawed out of Eryx.It had taken everything in me, every ounce of diplomatic restraint and stubborn persistence to make him listen. Eryx wasn’t a man moved by pleas, but he understood logic, and he understood the stench of a setup. When I finally laid it out for him, naming Philip as the man behind everything all, I saw the shift in his eyes. Philip, the man who had threatened Maya and forced her to carry out the task.I leaned my head back, closing my eyes. I could still see the way Maya’s hands trembled whenever his name was mentioned, the way her scent spiked with fear. I had promised her protection, and today was the first real step in fulfilling that vow.The door at the end of the hall groaned open, I didn't move, but my senses sharpened. One of my lead men, Harry , hurried toward me. H

  • The Last Of Her Pack   #89.

    Maya POVThe silence in the dining hall was thick. I looked up, forcing my gaze to lock onto Archer’s. His eyes were like two pieces of flint, unyielding and sharp, stripping away every defense I had tried to build over the last four months. My hands were knotted together in my lap."I did it because I didn't have an option," I began, my voice trembling like a dry leaf. "I didn't wake up one day wanting to be a killer. I didn't want to hurt anyone."Archer didn't blink. He sat perfectly still, his massive frame casting a long, intimidating shadow across the table. "An option? There is always an option, Maya. Explain yours."I swallowed hard, the lump in my throat feeling like a stone. "I carried out the order because of my sister. My younger sister... she was among the females in Eryx’s pack. She’s all I have left. She’s young, she’s innocent, and she was right there, within their reach." My voice broke, and I had to take a jagged breath to keep from sobbing. "They told me that if I d

    Archer POVThe dawn light filtered through the heavy velvet curtains. Beside me, Maya lay in a deep, undisturbed slumber. Her breathing was rhythmic, a soft, delicate sound that seemed out of place in a room that usually smelled of nothing.I watched her for a long time, my gaze tracing the line of her shoulder where the linen had fallen away. I had been careful with her. Gentler than I ever thought my hands were capable of being. She was a means to an end, a vessel sent to carry the weight of my legacy, and yet, as I watched the steady rise and fall of her chest, something shifted behind my ribs. It was a dull, persistent thud. A wolf like me had no use for a heart that skipped beats for a girl who was merely a strategic acquisition.I forced myself to look away. With one last glance at her pale, serene face, I turned on my heel and moved toward the door. The transition from the warmth of the bed to the cold, sterile air of the hallway was a welcome shock.I hadn't walked ten paces b

  • The Last Of Her Pack   #87. Maya

    Maya povThe four walls of the room felt like they were bruising me, pressing inward with every shallow breath I took. The room was opulent, too fine for a prison but the gold leaf on the furniture and the heavy velvet drapes didn't change the fact that the door was locked from the outside. I paced the length of the rug, my bare feet sinking into the plush fibers until the friction began to burn.I stopped in front of the window, my reflection ghosting against the glass. I looked small. Frightened. I didn’t even know his name, only the rumors that preceded him. They spoke of an Alpha who was less man than a force of nature, someone whose dominance was so absolute that even the wind seemed to die down when he walked by. I wondered what kind of name a man like that carried. Something dangerous probably. Something that sounded like a warning.A sharp rap on the door made me jump, my heart leaping into my throat. The lock clicked, and a tall, somber faced man stepped inside. He didn't loo

  • The Last Of Her Pack   #86. Birth

    Eryx POVThe sterile scent of the pack hospital usually signaled strength and recovery, but today, it felt like a cage. Months of anticipation had narrowed down to this agonizing hour, and I found myself pacing the narrow strip of pavement outside the entrance, my boots rhythmically striking the stone. Every breath felt shallow. My wolf was pacing just as restlessly as I was, a low, anxious hum vibrating in my chest that no amount of logic could quiet.Please, I whispered into the silence of my mind.The vulnerability was terrifying. I was used to protecting my pack from tangible threats, but I couldn't fight this battle for Rachael. I could only stand out here, feeling the tether of our bond stretch and fray with her pain. My hands clenched into fists, the leather of my jacket creaking, as I waited for a sign, any sign that the world hadn't stopped turning.The heavy double doors finally groaned open. I snapped toward the sound, my heart leaping into my throat. Dr. Aris stepped out,
