Celine

The fruit was damp and cold in my hand. I chewed because the healers said I should, because not eating felt like giving them another win. The pear tasted like water and nothing else. The bowl slid a little on the tray when my fingers trembled. The room smelled of mint salve and old smoke. A bee of noise hummed from the corridor, metal on metal, a muffled voice, a cart. It sat somewhere outside the door and didn’t come in.

The door opened and the air changed. He walked in and filled the whole room in three steps. I heard the soft slap of boots on wood and knew it was him before my eyes found his face. He had a shirt on and a bandage at the collar. He carried that quiet like a thing around his shoulders.

“You’ve got that look again,” he said finally, voice low and rough, like gravel dragged across steel. “Like you’d rather stab me with that fork than finish your fruit.”

I pinched the pear between my fingers and kept chewing because my hands shook if I tried to set the bowl down.

    CelineThe dream came so sharp it felt like I had not even closed my eyes. One blink, and I was standing in a forest that did not belong to any place I knew. The air was clear and cold, too clean, like it had been washed. Light hung everywhere. Not sun. Moon. It poured through the branches in wide bands and turned the damp ground into a faint glow.Moss pressed cool against my bare feet. It squeezed water when I shifted my weight, a soft wet sound, like breathing through cloth. I could smell green bark and wet stone. I could hear water somewhere far off, a thin trickle, then silence again. My breath came fast. I watched it fog the air even though the night did not bite.Something breathed with me. Not above me, not around me. With me. The sound rolled slow and heavy, the way big bodies move. It settled in my ribs and made them ache.“Celine.”The voice did not cross the air. It rose inside me and rang there, like my bones had held space for it all this time. My skin lifted in a quick

  • The Ruthless Alpha’s Breeder   Chapter 48

    AlaricAs she still stubbornly sat there treating her wound, I couldn’t take my eyes off her. Blood still clung to her skin, faint streaks running down her arm where she dabbed too roughly with the cloth. She should have let me tend to it, but no, Celine had to be defiant, and had to act as though she owed me nothing. Every movement she made scraped against my control. She was alive, breathing, here in front of me, and all I could think of was how close I had come to losing her.That battlefield still burned in my mind. The sight of her throwing herself between me and death was reckless, infuriating, stupid. My wolf tore inside me at the memory. She had stood there as if her body was worth offering, as if she could decide that for me. She belonged to me. Her life was mine to guard, to risk, to decide. She had no right to put herself in the line of that blade. No right to bleed for me.But gods, she had. And the terror of it still clawed at my ribs.I wanted to grab her right then, sha

    CelineThey talked louder now. The pack’s voices chased me down the hall like dogs. I heard the words before I saw the faces pressed behind doors and down corridors.“Alpha blood.”“Impossible.”“She’s probably dangerous.”Some sounded afraid. Some whispered like they wanted a story to tell at fires. A few sounded hungry, like vultures smelling a new body. It prickled under my skin. I kept my chin high and my step steady. If I stopped to meet their eyes they’d celebrate. I did not give them the show.By the time I reached his door, my side burned with every step. The bandage had shifted against the cut, I was supposed to at least be healing up fast since I have Alpha blood as they claim, but it felt like I was healing at the rate of my omega wolf; I’d tightened it myself to keep it from bleeding through. I’d refused the healers. I always did. Their hands felt like ownership, their questions like weighing scales. I trusted my own fingers more than their polite concern.I pushed the doo

    AlaricI was halfway off the bed when the door hit the wall.Cade burst in like a storm, eyes sharp, shoulders tight, ready to block me if he had to. The clinic light made him look older, or maybe that was just the night we had. My feet hit the cold floor and pain licked up my ribs. Silver left a different kind of burn. It crawled, it itched, it hummed under the skin like it wanted to live there.“I’m going to find her,” I said. My voice came out rough. I was already reaching for the shirt that someone had left folded on the chair.Cade planted himself between me and the door. “First you need to fucking slow down.”“I don’t have time.”“Alaric.” He didn’t raise his voice, but it cut. “Listen to me.”I stared at him and felt the old instinct to push through. He was my Beta. He knew better than anyone that once I started moving, I didn’t stop. He lifted his hands, palms out, not a challenge, a line.“I’m asking as your friend,” he said. “Not your Beta.”That pulled me up short. The figh

  • The Ruthless Alpha’s Breeder   Chapter 44

    CelineThe first thing I noticed wasn’t the light. It was the whispers. Low voices, broken like wind slipping through cracks. They pressed around me before I even dared to move, hushed tones that carried weight—healers murmuring to one another, warriors pretending not to stare.I didn’t need to open my eyes to feel them on me. Their gazes were heavier than the bandages binding my skin. Their words weren’t meant for me, yet every syllable pressed close.“An Omega… fought like an Alpha.”“Did you see the way her wolf moved?”“It wasn’t natural.”Their disbelief seeped into me, making my chest tighten. My wolf. Why? The flashes came back uninvited, jagged pieces of memory that made no sense. Blood. Claws. My body tearing through enemies like it wasn’t mine. My wolf had done it, not me. She had taken control.But she saved him.I squeezed my eyes shut harder, hating that truth. The one man I swore I would never kill if I got the chance, yet my wolf tore me open to save him. Alaric.
