76 The Name He Never Let Go Of

last update publish date: 2026-02-04 23:16:14

Ronan’s POV

My mother looked at me for a long moment, then shook her head.

“Trying to avert what she saw,” she said. “Trying to force fate into a different shape. She thought she was saving people.”

“And?” I asked, voice low.

“And she caused a great calamity,” my mother said flatly.

The room went colder.

My wolf pressed closer to the surface.

“What calamity?” I asked.

My mother held my gaze.

“Not tonight,” she said, voice firm. “One day. But not tonight. You asked about your father.”

I nodded o

I bet that he would have felt everything she went through, through the bond.

  • The Price Of Fate   180 The Warmth Before the Voice 2

    Nyra’s POVI breathed in slowly and let the weight of that settle somewhere inside me. It did not cure anything. It did not fix the ache. But it mattered. More than I could say without sounding too raw.Then another question pushed its way up before I could stop it.“Will you take the Alpha position?”That changed something in his face at once. Not softness exactly. More like the return of the world. Politics. Responsibility. The mess waiting outside this room. He sighed. Long. Low. Honest. Then he let his head sink back into the pillow for a second as if the very thought of it irritated him all over again.“Since we’re staying,” he said, “and since Kieran humbled himself enough to beg, I don’t want the pack to completely fall apart.”That answer already told me more than the elders ever deserved to hear. He was not doing it for glory.He kept going, gaze on the ceiling now.“Especially not when my father sacrificed for that place.”That line settled quietly but heavily between us. I

  • The Price Of Fate   179 The Warmth Before the Voice

    Nyra’s POVFor a little while, the world stopped pressing. Not because it had become kinder. Not because anything had been solved. But because I was in Ronan’s bed with his arm around me, his body warm against mine, and for the first time in what felt like forever, I was not bracing against the next blow. The room was quiet except for our breathing and the faint sound of morning moving outside the windows. The sheets were twisted low around us, the air warm with the scent of him, of skin, of water from the shower we had not yet taken, of something deeper and quieter that felt like new memory settling itself into the room.I lay with my cheek on his chest and listened to his heartbeat. Strong. Steady. There. My fingers rested over the centre of him without thinking. His hand moved slowly over my back, not in hunger now, not in urgency, just in that same careful way he always touched me when he wanted me to feel him there without words. The locket hung at my throat, cool where it had sl

  • The Price Of Fate   178 The Weight of What Stayed 4

    Nyra’s POVRonan’s fingers brushed my cheek, thumb tracing the line of my jaw as if mapping the fractures I couldn't hide. I leaned into it, eyes closing for a beat, the simple contact pulling a shaky breath from my lungs. The room's chill seeped through the window, but Ronan's touch warmed my skin, steady and unyielding."Nyra," he murmured, voice low, wrapping around me like his arms soon would. "Look at me."I did, lifting my gaze to his. Those dark eyes held mine, fierce with the kind of certainty that made my chest ache. No hesitation, no doubt, just him, seeing all of me, the fear twisting in my gut from Elara's words, the Prima Society closing in like a storm we couldn't outrun."They're coming," I whispered, the words tasting like ash. "What if..."Shh." His hand slid to the nape of my neck, fingers threading into my hair, tilting my head up. "Not now. Not here. You're safe with me. Always." He leaned in, lips brushing my forehead, then my temple, soft presses that grounded me

  • The Price Of Fate   177 The Weight of What Stayed 3

    Nyra’s POVKieran’s love had always felt like hunger hidden in shadow. Like hope whispered behind closed doors while daylight was reserved for someone stronger, cleaner, easier to claim. Ronan’s felt like a storm holding itself back with visible effort because it knew I was already wounded. That difference lived in my body even when I did not want to admit it. I felt it in the way his arms held me now. Fierce without crushing. Possessive without making me smaller. Devoted in a way that did not need secrecy to survive.My breathing grew steadier against him. His hand moved to the back of my neck then, fingers threading into my hair, and he gently drew me back just enough to look at me. He lifted my chin. Slowly. Like he wanted to be certain I would not flinch from the weight of his eyes.I looked at him. That was the mistake. Or maybe the mercy. Because once I met his gaze, the room seemed to fall away again. There was too much in his face. Too much he was not saying because he did not

  • The Price Of Fate   176 The Weight of What Stayed 2

    Nyra’s POVRonan’s fingers brushed my hair back from my face, then settled at the side of my neck. The touch was warm. Careful. Possessive in the quiet way only he seemed capable of, like every restrained touch carried ten stronger ones beneath it.“Are you fine?” he asked.The question hurt. Not because he meant anything wrong by it. Because there was no honest answer that would not sound like failure. Fine. I almost smiled at that. Almost. But there was nothing in me light enough for it. I was not fine. I was standing. Breathing. Healing better than before. My body no longer felt like it was about to split apart with every movement. But inside, I felt emptied out. Not dramatically. Not in a way that begged to be seen. Just hollowed. As if grief had come in with patient hands and scooped out part of me I would not be getting back in the same shape again.I felt alone even with him here. That was the worst truth of it. Not because he had failed me. He hadn’t. Ronan had done more in da

  • The Price Of Fate   175 The Weight of What Stayed

    Nyra’s POVThe room changed the second Elara said it.“The Prima Society is on their way to Vandwood.”No one moved at first. It was strange how one sentence could do that, how it could turn a room that had already been tense into something tighter, colder, meaner. The air seemed to pull thin around all of us. The elders looked like people who had been handed another problem before they had managed to swallow the first one. Kieran’s shoulders went stiff. Ronan’s hand at my back did not move, but I felt his body sharpen beside me all the same. I looked at Elara. She had already lowered the phone, her face composed in that frightening way of hers. She did not look alarmed. She looked alert. Measuring. As if the arrival of the Prima Society was not a surprise she feared, but a complication she had already begun arranging inside her mind.For me, the words landed differently. Prima Society. The name itself dragged too many things behind it now. Elaine. The things she knew and never said i

I told myself that if I stayed inside the small, simple rules o
