“I don’t quite understand you, Sage,” the woman said in an exasperated manner as she watched me with an intense interest in her gaze. “You have access to so much power beyond your very imaginations and yet you hesitate.”

The Mate They Threw Away 304. Dominic’s Dominion.
DominicI heard the walls go down the same moment everyone else at the gathering did, a crash loud enough to silence three tables of chatter at once. I didn't need to see it to know it had something to do with Sage. Some instinct older than reasoning told me, the same way I'd known something was wrong the moment the First Clan Chief abandoned his own table to come sit at mine.He and I had never seen eye to eye. I preferred it that way. Trust was a currency I didn't deal in with men like him.My nostrils flared, and underneath the noise of the hall I caught it, burnt Alpha flesh, sharp and chemical in a way ordinary fire didn't produce.Silver nitrate.A lethal little compound, favored by werewolves who wanted to make absolutely sure a death stayed quiet. Ingested, it roasted a body's organs from the inside out and burned away every biological trace that might otherwise identify the corpse. Convenient, if you needed someone gone and untraceable. I'd used it myself, once or twice, in y
The Mate They Threw Away 303. Failure Equals Death.
Sage.He was arrogant the way his chief was arrogant, inherited, not earned. A Beta playing at a Gamma's caution and missing it by a wide margin.I pirouetted clean out of his strike, and the flash of surprise that crossed his face when my speed registered was almost funny. I didn't give him time to recover from it. I came back at him fast, a left hook aimed for his temple that he dodged by leaning back just far enough, and walked himself straight into the kick I'd already loaded behind it. My foot caught his jaw.He left his feet entirely. His body hit the wall hard enough to shatter through it, plaster and wood splitting around the shape of him. I hadn't used a single thread of magic, and I didn't need to check to know what I'd done, his jaw was shattered a
The Mate They Threw Away 302. Increase My Instinct
Sage"You are just an ordinary Omega, Sage Winters." The First Clan Chief's voice carried the particular boredom of a man who had said this kind of thing to a hundred people before me and watched all of them break the same way. He didn't know about me. Couldn't know. "So I implore you to make this easy on yourself."The room he'd chosen for this was too elegant for what he intended, gold accents, a low table, the kind of chair you'd offer a guest you respected. He hadn't offered me one.A young-looking werewolf entered behind him, and something in my chest pulled tight before my mind caught up to why. His enforcer. I could feel the aggression rolling off him in waves, the
The Mate They Threw Away 301. Among Other Things.
Sage"So you're using me to secure your position here," I said, and the sadness in my voice surprised me. I hadn't expected it to hurt quite this much, hearing the truth laid out plainly."Among other things," Dominic replied, calm as ever, as though we were discussing the weather rather than the systematic dismantling of my autonomy.My appetite vanished entirely. I pushed my plate away. "Why else would you trap me here, then? Enlighten me.""To keep you away from the others." He didn't need to clarify who he meant. Asher. Kieran. The two men who had each, in their own complicated ways, wanted me and lost their chance to claim it."I didn't realize the three of you were enemies," I said, letting sarcasm bleed freely into my voice. "I assumed Alphas shared everything, thoughts, feelings, strategy sessions over tea.""We were never friends to begin with," he said, unbothered by the bite in my words. "I was counting on their pride to make them underestimate exactly what you're capable o
The Mate They Threw Away 300. The Reason.
SageI wanted to ignore him out of pure spite, but he wasn't wrong. I was hungry, and whatever fight was coming would require more than righteous fury to sustain me through it. I was acutely conscious of every movement I made as I ate, aware that I had become, against my will, a person other people watched closely, cataloguing every small detail for reasons I didn't fully understand yet."You don't need to be so tense," Dominic said, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Try to enjoy yourself, Sage."I wiped my mouth with a napkin and reached for my water with more force than necessary. "I hate this attention, Dominic." The words came out sharp, unmistakable in their irritation.
The Mate They Threw Away 299. A Title Sewn Into My Skin.
SageAs someone who had never understood how power worked from the inside, I found the weight of it suffocating, a pressure that sat across my shoulders and along the back of my neck like something physical, something I could have reached up and pulled off if it had been made of anything as simple as fabric.I hated Dominic already. What he'd done in that meeting, trapping me here with a title I'd never agreed to, never been consulted on, never even been warned about, pushed that hatred somewhere I doubted I'd be climbing back out of anytime soon.I followed his scent through the winding corridors until I found him surrounded by a crowd of werewolves, every one of them hanging on his words with the particular rapt attention of people who understood, instinctively, exactly where they ranked beneath him. I could read their hierarchy without needing introductions, the way some nodded eagerly at his every syllable while others held themselves at a careful, respectful distance, waiting for

Asher“And what if I killed you all right here, right now?” I asked Magnus, letting the threat hang in the air between us.I expected fear. I expected at least a flicker of self-pres

Sage.He was very timid for a warrior. I had heard near mythological exploits about him and yet here he stood awkwardly before me like he was afraid if embarrassing himself before me.

Sage.I trembled with fear and worry as I stepped into the Manor. The only person that was aware of my children was Marcus, my father’s best friend and archivist. I was sure he would not have told anyone because he too would be complacent in covering up my escape which would put him in a terrible p
