“So, the bond is a trap,” I said. “If I bond with him to save his life, I might wake up with something that destroys the pack?”
“We do not know that for certain,” Darius replied. He leaned on his staff. “The records are old and incomplete. Many pages from that era were burned or hidden by kings who were afraid of what they had made.”
Rowan stayed in his chair, knees still close to mine.

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
The Wolf King's Reluctant Mate Chapter 37: Ghosts of the Past
Rowan stopped the moment my boots went still. He looked from the deep prints in the snow to the dark ridge ahead. The thin red ring around his pupils sharpened."One person," he said. "He or she is moving fast, with no obvious intent to hide.""They know the path," I said. "Straight for the valley cut.""We keep moving. If they reach the shrine first, we deal with them there."We followed the tracks through the grey morning. The Whispering Wilds were quiet, there was white snow, black rocks, but no wind. The bond stayed low and steady between us, a soft current that kept the worst of the cold from settling too deep. The natural heat in Rowan balanced out the cold.Rowan tested the ground ahead with each step. I matched his pa
The Wolf King's Reluctant Mate Chapter 36: Into the Wilds
"Traitor!"Bram's voice cut across the dark. He drew his broadsword in one clean motion. Snow shook from the rocks above.Jaron did not lower his blade. The men behind him held their ground, their weapons already out. Ten of them are still in cloaks of the Dravenwood pack army. Familiar faces I had seen on the wall only days before."You trusted a king that is already tainted, Captain," Jaron said. "Eric has the numbers. Frostfang stands behind him. Why die for a king who cannot even hold his own mind when we can be paid and live?""You sell your own for gold," I said.Through the bond the quiet current snapped. Heat surged from Rowan in a hard wave. Smoke began to rise from his shoulders in thin threads.
The Wolf King's Reluctant Mate Chapter 35: The Second Traitor
“Three days,” I said. The words tasted bitter in my mouth. Rowan did not look away from the map. “Then we leave under the next dark. Bram holds the fortress. A small party only—light, fast, no banners. We move through the high passes while the blizzard covers the tracks.” Sarlen’s claws rested on the table edge. “Eric has three thousand between us and that shrine. Yellow eyes. Fur that turns silver. They are hunting exactly what we are carrying.” “If we stay, the next blackout may be the last one I come back from,” Rowan said. “I will not wait in this mountain to become the thing the texts warn about.” Darius nodded once. “The intervals are already shortening. The incomplete bond will not hold him much longer.” I looked at the mark on the map—the narrow cut in the frozen range that was inside Eric’s lines. Three days. One chance to lock the First Alpha before it woke up. “We are going,” I said. ** They spent the rest of the day stripping the plan down to what could move
The Wolf King's Reluctant Mate Chapter 34: The Name in the Old Tongue
Rowan held my eyes for a long moment before he managed to speak. The red hadn't faded from around the black yet, and for a second, I didn't know which one of us the silence was for."Darius," he said. His voice was rough, and gravely. "You have been saying something will awaken. Give it a name and end my confusion."Darius leaned on his staff. "The open scrolls never wrote it clearly, the first-era healers stated the name is forbidden. They used the old tongue only.""I can read the old tongue," I said. "Sarlen taught me. If the name is in the ledgers, I can find it."Standing near the counter, still under guard, Hector made a short, tired sound. "Call it whatever you like. If you do not mark him soon, he dies and Talon's army finishes the rest of us. So choose."
