"Run from me."

Kael's voice barely sounded like his own. I froze. Every instinct inside me screamed to move, but my body refused to listen.

He stood several feet away, shoulders rigid, fists clenched so tightly that his claws had pierced his palms. Black veins crawled beneath his skin like ink spreading through water. And his eyes, god, they were completely black. No silver. No blue. No trace of the man who had looked at me as if I were the only person in the world. Just darkness.

  • The Wolf They Rejected, The Hybrid Who Chose Her   Chapter 26

    For a moment, nobody moved. I stared at my mother. At the silver in her eyes. At the sharp points of her teeth. At the woman who had once tucked blankets around me at night. The woman who had kissed my forehead when I was sick. The woman who had held my hand when I was afraid of thunderstorms.A vampire. No. Something worse. The system had said she wasn't human.My mother smiled. "Alira."I stepped backward. Kael immediately moved with me, his body becoming a shield between us. My mother noticed. Something almost amused crossed her face."You still protect her."Kael's voice was cold. "You've given me plenty of reasons not to trust you.""Have I?""You disappeared."Her expression faltered. "I was taken.""You let them experiment on her.""I didn't know.""You knew enough."My mother's eyes flashed. "I knew they were doing something to my children."Children. Plural. My gaze snapped toward Liora. She was crying silently."Children?"My mother closed her eyes. "Yes."I felt something t

    I stopped breathing. My mother's voice. There was no mistaking it. Soft. Familiar. The same voice that had once called me downstairs for dinner. The same voice that had whispered goodnight when I was little. The same voice I had spent years wondering whether I imagined loving."Mother?"Nothing.I turned. There was only darkness."Mother?"Kael's hand tightened around mine. "Alira, don't move.""I heard her.""I know." His voice was low. "But that doesn't mean it was her."A faint laugh drifted through the darkness. It was my mother's laugh. My chest hurt."You still don't trust me, Kael?"His entire body went rigid. The voice came again. This time from directly in front of us."You always were protective of her."A small light appeared. Then another. Then another. Silver symbols slowly illuminated the chamber. And there she was. My mother. Standing beneath the broken archway. Exactly as I remembered her. Dark hair. Gentle eyes. The small scar beneath her left eyebrow. The same dress

    I couldn't move. Kael stood across from me, but the thing looking through his eyes was me. An older version of me. A version that smiled like she knew exactly how this story ended.My stomach turned. "Get out of his head."The words came out barely above a whisper. The reflection inside Kael's black eyes smiled. "His head?"Kael's lips moved. But the voice was mine. "You still think I'm inside him."My blood ran cold. Kael's body jerked. His hands clenched into fists."Alira…" His real voice. Buried beneath mine. "Don't listen to her."I stepped forward. "Kael, fight it.""I am." His knees nearly buckled. I caught his arm. The instant our skin touched, a shockwave ripped through the chamber. Every silver symbol exploded with light. The creatures surrounding us stopped. The woman with my face covered her eyes.Liora screamed. "Let go of him!"I couldn't. Something had locked my hand around his. And suddenly I wasn't standing in the chamber anymore. I was somewhere else.A forest. Warm

    The voice came from beneath us. My voice. Not similar. Not familiar. Mine."Alira… I'm the part of you that they never managed to erase."Every hair on my body lifted. Kael's fingers tightened around mine."Don't listen."His voice was strained. I looked down at him. "How can I not?"The crack beneath us widened. A cold wind rushed out of it, carrying the scent of iron, rain, and something ancient. Then the voice spoke again."Come home."My chest tightened. Home. The word should have meant my pack. My childhood bedroom. My mother's arms. Instead, all I could see was the underground chamber. The glass cylinders. The silver symbols. The little girl I had been. The woman with my face.Kael pulled himself upright. "Alira, look at me."I did. His eyes were silver again. Beautiful. Terrified."Whatever happens next," he said quietly, "stay with me."I almost smiled. "That's becoming a habit."A faint smile touched his mouth. "For once, I don't mind."The moment was so painfully normal that

    For one terrible second, I couldn't breathe. Kael stood in front of me. But he wasn't Kael. His eyes had gone completely black, swallowing the silver-blue that had always made me feel like he could see through every lie I told myself.Then he smiled. Not the crooked smile I'd learned to hate and crave at the same time. Not the quiet, almost amused curve of his lips when I said something ridiculous. This smile was wrong. Too wide. Too still. And when he spoke, the voice wasn't his."Finally."The word crawled beneath my skin. I stumbled backward. "Kael?"His head tilted. The movement was almost playful. "That name." His fingers flexed at his sides. "Such a small thing to call something that has lived for so long."My heart hammered against my ribs. Liora moved between us."No." Her voice cracked. For the first time since I'd met her, she sounded afraid. "That's not supposed to happen yet."The creature wearing Kael's face looked at her. "Yet?" He laughed softly. "You still think this p

  • The Wolf They Rejected, The Hybrid Who Chose Her   Chapter 21 - Three Minutes

    REUNIFICATION WILL BEGIN IN THREE MINUTES.I stared at the words until they blurred. Three minutes. Three minutes until whatever this place had been preparing for centuries finally happened."What does reunification mean?" I asked.Nobody answered. Kael was staring at the message. Liora was on the floor, struggling to breathe. The red light beneath us pulsed. Once. Twice. Like a heartbeat."Kael."He looked at me."Tell me."His jaw tightened. "I don't know."I almost laughed. Of course. Another secret. Another thing nobody knew."Then we find out."I turned toward Liora. Kael caught my arm."Alira.""She's hurt.""So are you.""I don't care.""I do."His grip loosened immediately. He looked down at my wrist. The black mark had spread farther across my palm."What is that doing?""I don't know.""Does it hurt?""Only when I'm scared."His eyes met mine. "Then stop being scared."I stared at him. "That's your advice?"A faint smile appeared. "I'm improvising."Despite everything, I alm
