Chapter 12: What the Blood Is For

مؤلف: Tosraheal Writes

The executioners hauled me down a winding staircase that bored deep into a mountain. My bare feet dragged uselessly against the frost-bitten stones. 

With every step, the purple runes on the heavy iron cuffs flashed, injecting cold that caused numbness from my wrists straight to my shoulders. I tried to balance my weight, to pull back, but the guards moved with unyielding strength like they were not flesh and b

  • The Wolf King's Reluctant Mate   Chapter 43: The Broken Seal

    “Talon,” Rowan rasped.Smoke still rose from his skin. His fingers stayed locked around my wrist. His eyes, fully black, fixed on the cave mouth.The Frostfang horn sounded again, closer. The note rolled through the tunnel and made the gold runes on the walls flicker and dim.“He didn’t wait for the lower pass,” I said. My hands were still pressed to Rowan’s chest, pushing what cooling frequency I had left into the heat under his skin. “He followed the Guard straight here.”Behind us the two paralyzed Sovereign Guards scraped iron against stone. The altar l

    "Get inside!" Rowan shouted.The five Sovereign Guards were ascending the icy path in silence. I heard a sharp, steady scraping sound following them, and their iron talons rubbing against the stone. I rushed into the cavern's dark mouth.The surface beneath my boots was smooth black rock covered by a thin layer of old frost. Cold air at once surrounded me. Rowan remained in the opening, using his body to fill the narrow space so that nothing could easily pass him.Heat exploded through the bond. It hit so hard my vision narrowed for a second. Smoke rose from his shoulders in thick threads. His claws slid out with a soft, dangerous sound."Keep moving!" he called without looking back.The lead killer reached the threshold firs

  • The Wolf King's Reluctant Mate   Chapter 41: The Icefall

    The forest below us moved again. A slow, heavy ripple through the snow-covered pines. No wind touched the valley floor, yet the branches bent and snapped. “Something is down there,” I said. My fingers closed tighter around the iron token Lira had given me. The old symbol pressed into my skin. “Serum-wolves,” Rowan answered. His eyes stayed fixed on the shifting trees. “Eric’s scouts are searching the floor, probably looking for our tracks.” Heat spiked through the bond. Thin threads of black smoke rose from his shoulders. The three-day clock ticked louder in the back of my mind and this time we could not afford another fight or mania blackout. “It’s probably Lira’s path,” I said, pulling at his arm. “Let’s go north from here behind the icefall. If we drop into the pines, we will walk straight into them.” He stood still a moment longer, jaw tight, watching the valley. “The climb is steep. If the mania hits on the ice, I take us both down.” “Then we keep it down.” I met his eyes.

  • The Wolf King's Reluctant Mate   Chapter 40: Our Father

    “Sarlen is not our father,” Lira said, her voice cutting through the wind.“He is simply the man who stayed to help out most times. That is an entirely different thing, and it should count for far more than blood anyway, but it took my own mind ten winters to believe it.” Her voice didn't soften, but it lost its superior edge.“Our biological father was an alpha from a rogue border pack. Mother never mentioned him after he abandoned us. He caught the first scent of trouble and ran before they even got to us.He heard we were being hunted and ran for the hills before the trouble even came close. I know about it because I was old enough to see his cowardice. You were not, still nothing but a mumbling child then.”The words landed heavily behind my ribs, sitting there like a block of ice. For ten winters, I had carried one precise, unchanging truth of that night—my mother, my sisters, and the kind human healer who had dragged my naked frame out through the embers.But there had been anot

  • The Wolf King's Reluctant Mate   Chapter 39: The Kill-Order

    The metallic clicking on the opposite ridge was noticeably sharper than Lira's. Clack. Clack. Clack.Through the rolling curtains of grey fog, three silhouettes stepped smoothly out from the pitch-black pines. They wore the exact same heavy grey cloaks, similar polished iron talons.They moved without making any more sound, spreading their formation as they advanced across the drifts. One taking the high route along the broken cabin masonry, one moving low through the snow, and the last driving straight for the gap where Rowan stood.“Three,” Rowan said, his voice dropping into a flat, terrifying register.A sudden, violent wave of white-hot heat surged through our link, heavy enough to make my vision tilt in th

  • The Wolf King's Reluctant Mate    Chapter 38: The Sister

    Rowan did not make a sound. He pushed me behind him, the calm in the bond vanished. A hard protective heat took its place and his claws slid out with a soft click.The metallic sounds grew closer, deliberate and even.A tall figure stepped out of the dark pines into the thin grey light. It was no ordinary being in a heavy looking grey cloak. The hands that hung at their sides did not end in ordinary nails or alpha claws. They were long, slender talons of dark polished iron."Sovereign Guard," I whispered.The figure stopped ten paces from the ruined cabin. Snow settled on the shoulders of the cloak. For a moment no one moved. Then, slowly, the figure reached up and pulled back the hood.Golden-blonde hair fell loose over the
