Falling should feel like falling. It doesn't. Not this time. It feels like being taken. The air doesn't rush past me the way it should. There's no wind screaming in my ears, no sense of impact waiting at the bottom. Just weightlessness, and Kael's arm locked around me like I'm the only thing keeping him anchored too.

The darkness beneath the shattered floor swallows everything above us in seconds. Light disappears, sound follows, then even the sensation of direction starts to blur.

  • The Wolf They Rejected, The Hybrid Who Chose Her   Chapter 23

    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

  • The Wolf They Rejected, The Hybrid Who Chose Her   Chapter 22

    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

  • The Wolf They Rejected, The Hybrid Who Chose Her   Chapter 20 - The Man Wearing His Face

    I couldn't breathe. Kael's fingers were locked around mine."Don't turn around," he repeated.Behind us, something breathed. Slow. Steady. Almost human. Almost.I stared at Kael. He stared back. For the first time since I'd met him, I could see genuine terror in his eyes. Not fear for himself. Fear for me."Is it really you?" I whispered.His brows pulled together. "What?""The thing behind us."His jaw tightened. "No."The breathing continued. A voice followed. My voice. "Alira."I closed my eyes. Kael stepped closer. "Don't answer."The voice laughed softly. "You always tell her what to do."I felt Kael's body tense. The thing behind us spoke again. This time in Kael's voice. "Run."My heart twisted. Kael's eyes widened. "That isn't me.""I know.""Do you?"I looked at him. "I know you."Something shifted behind us. The floor creaked. Kael pulled me against his chest. "Stay with me."The words barely left his mouth before the creature appeared in front of us. I gasped. It was Kael.

  • The Wolf They Rejected, The Hybrid Who Chose Her   Chapter 19 - The Girl in the Gown

    "I'm not your copy." The little girl pointed at me. "You're mine."I couldn't move. Her words shouldn't have made sense. Yet something inside me understood them. My wrist burned. The mark pulsed beneath my skin. Once. Twice. Then the little girl's eyes turned black.Kael stepped in front of me. "Don't look at her."The girl smiled. "You always say that."Kael froze. I stared at him. "You've heard her before."He didn't answer."Kael."His jaw tightened. "Yes."The little girl giggled. "He used to come see me."My stomach dropped. "When?""Before you."I felt the words like a knife. Kael immediately looked at me. "That isn't what she means.""Then explain.""I can't.""Why?""Because I don't remember everything."The little girl laughed. "You never remember everything." She walked closer. Kael's body tensed."Stay back."She ignored him. "Do you remember the first time you cried?"Kael's expression changed. "No.""You cried when they took her away."His breathing stopped.The girl look

  • The Wolf They Rejected, The Hybrid Who Chose Her   Chapter 18 - The Original

    "Took you long enough to figure that out."My voice. Again. I turned slowly. Kael moved in front of me."Stay behind me."I almost laughed. Even now. Even after everything. That was still his first instinct. Protect me.But my eyes were fixed on the woman standing across the chamber. She looked exactly like me. Again. Except this time, she wasn't smiling. She looked tired. Almost sad."You're the original?" I asked.She nodded. My stomach twisted. "Then what am I?""A copy."The word landed harder than a slap. I shook my head. "No.""You were made from me.""That's not the same thing.""It is to them."Kael's voice cut through the room. "Who are you?"The woman looked at him. "You already know."His expression hardened. "Say it."She smiled faintly. "You used to call me Aria."My heart stopped. Kael didn't move. But I saw his fingers curl into fists."You're lying.""Am I?" She looked at me. "Ask him."I turned toward Kael. He wouldn't meet my eyes. My chest tightened."Kael."Silence
