The Wrong Mate, The Right Alpha Chapter 164 — When the Strongest Break
Mara I do not remember walking to our bedroom. I do not remember the journey from the sitting room. I do not remember Damon guiding me through the hallways or up the stairs. I do not remember how we arrived at this place except that we are here and the door is closed. I do not remember Damon closing the door either though I know he must have. All I remember is the silence. The suffocating pressurized silence that follows too much truth at once. The kind of silence that comes when your entire understanding of yourself and your world has been fundamentally altered. Mother. White wolf. Experimentation. Talia. Sister. The word keeps slicing through me. My legs go up as soon as the door closes. Before I hit the floor Damon grabs me. He does not talk. He does not offer explanations or perspective or the kind of comfort that requires words. He just pulls me into him with his arms solid and steady and present. And that is when I break. Not the quiet tears I have mastered over
The Wrong Mate, The Right Alpha Chapter 162 — The Woman with White Hair
Mara Morning comes gently. Too gently. Warm ribbons of light stream across the bed like a promise as they flood through the drapes. The morning is kind in a way that feels unearned after yesterday. I forget about councils and accusations and politics for a little moment. I forget about everything except the warmth beside me and the stillness of early morning. Then Damon groans. Reality returns. He shifts beside me pressing a hand to his forehead like his head might fall off if he does not hold it together. His expression contorts slightly. "Never again," he mutters with the absolute certainty of someone who genuinely believes they will maintain this promise. I smile faintly and slip out of bed moving quietly so as not to jar him further. "You say that every time," I observe. "This time I mean it," he protests weakly. "You will not," I reply calmly already pouring him water from the pitcher on the bedside table. The water is cool and fresh and exactly what his body needs.
The Wrong Mate, The Right Alpha Chapter 161 — Shelter
Mara They half carry him in. Zeta on one side supporting him with the kind of patience that comes from years of loyalty. Ryan on the other side making sure his steps remain somewhat coordinated despite the alcohol that has clearly been consumed extensively. Damon shrugs them off the moment he sees me. "I can walk," he mutters though his steps are not entirely steady. Though he is clearly not as fine as he is trying to appear. The scent of alcohol reaches me before he does. Sharp. Heavy. Layered over something darker underneath. Humiliation. Anger. Wounded pride. Defeat. All of it mixed together in a way that speaks to how much the day has cost him. "Thank you," I tell his Betas softly. My voice carries gratitude but also dismissal. Also understanding that what he needs now is not their presence but mine. Ryan studies my face carefully searching for blame. Searching for resentment. Searching for any indication that I am angry at what has happened. He will not find it there
The Wrong Mate, The Right Alpha Chapter 160 — The Ache Beneath the Bond
Mara Until the automobile disappears around the corner I wave. Up until the morning air wisps with the curl of dust that is all that remains of his departure I stand at the gates and watch him go. I stand there long past the point where seeing him would do any good. And still— Something does not sit right. It is not dramatic. Not sharp. Not the kind of pain that cuts and demands attention. Not something that announces itself with violence. Just… tight. I felt as though invisible fingers were pressing against my ribs in the middle of my chest. As though something inside me recognizes that things are about to shift. That the day ahead will break something and cannot be undone. I frown and put my palm there against my chest trying to understand what my body is telling me. Anxiety I tell myself immediately. Of course I am anxious. Of course my instincts are screaming. Damon is walking into a chamber full of men who want him humbled. Men who smile while sharpening knives. Men wh
The Wrong Mate, The Right Alpha Chapter 159 — No Deals with Devils
Damon The doors slam open so hard the hinges groan in protest. I do not remember pushing them. I do not recall making the decision to leave the chamber or crossing the space between my father's court and the exit. I just remember the movement and the need to be anywhere except in that room. I just remember heat. Heat in my chest burning like something is trying to consume me from inside. Heat in my skull making my thoughts fractured and sharp. Heat crawling under my skin like my wolf is trying to tear its way out and rip something apart. Like the animal inside me recognizes the humiliation and wants to respond with violence. Behind me I hear Zeta's boots. Ryan's quieter stride. Neither of them speaks. Neither of them tries to offer comfort or explanation or false reassurance. Good. If anyone says the wrong thing right now I might break more than furniture. I might break more than stone. I might break more than the careful facade I have been maintaining. The courtyard air hi
The Wrong Mate, The Right Alpha Chapter 157 — The Night That Would Not Bend
Damon The packhouse feels different when I return. Not hostile. Not cold in the way that comes from rejection or disdain. Just… watchful. The walls themselves appear to be holding their breath unsure if I will still be a part of them when the sun rises. Unsure if I will still be their Alpha or if I will become something else. Something diminished. The doors behind me close with a gentle thud. I am not as relaxed by the familiar scent of woodsmoke wolf and house stone as I usually am. The smells that have always meant home and safety now feel like they are asking questions. Asking if I can still protect them. My power hums restlessly under my skin agitated scraping against restraint. It wants to do something. It wants to move. It wants to act but there is nothing to fight. Nothing physical that can be solved with strength. Mara is already there. She is pacing the main sitting room with bare feet silent against the floor with hair loose around her shoulders like she has been wa
The Wrong Mate, The Right Alpha Chapter 96 - What Happens Now?
Damon’s POV The look on Mara’s face said tons, there was fear, guilt, anger and even grief springing up again. A part of me cracked open, it was obvious that the love she had come to know was always incomplete. Her father had done his best but after his death, she was thrown to the wolves. “Wolv

Collina’s POV They drove out of the hospital, this time just Damon and the female beta. Could it be that this woman was the mistress? She was certainly dressed like a regular beta. “But female betas are more likely to be with Alpha princesses or Lunas.” I murmured. The car turned down on a lone

Talia’s POV Collina sat across from me, her fingers fiddled with the edge of the tablet we had put on the table. The hallway was quiet and I looked at her. She looked nervous, uncertain and terribly out of her depth. “We can’t get near him,” I muttered, tracing a lazy circle over Redwind territor

Mara’s POV “Let’s see if there are other things that could help us in the search, it doesn’t hurt to have a lot of information.” Damon said. Right on cue, we heard sniffing behind us. It was Elder Summer’s daughter, she wiped her nose with the back of her sleeve. “Today, mom was so excited,”
