Damon’s POV

I heard Mara enter the safe house with her usual quiet grace but there was something my wolf caught instantly… there was something she was trying to hide.

With my wound, I wasn’t too busy to notice that she was favoring one side over the other.

I shifted on the chair, grimacing at the tearing pain that enveloped my arm. “You’re late today,” I muttered, my tone rising more than I had intended. That was the pain’s doing.

Mara only lifted a small bag in her hand. “I had to stop by the pharmacy. There are medicines for the pain, just in case we have another purging.”

When she approached me, I caught it. There was a faint shadow imprinted on her cheek, slightly visible under the powder she had dusted on.

Was that a bruise? My chest burned.

Mara set her things down and sat down beside me, my arm was very stiff as she rolled up my sleeves with her careful hands. “Let me see what this looks like today.”

I hissed as she began peeling off the bandages from my arm. T

    Darius’s POV Elder Bragg seized the opportunity immediately. “That is why….,” he said, his voice ringing with authority. “I propose what we might call a temporary motion.”The word temporary was what did the heavy lifting. “To strip Alpha Damon of operational authority,” Elder Bragg continued, “pending an internal review.” There were gasps in the room. Louder and sharper. I widened my eyes… just enough. “That is… extreme,” I said Elder Bragg met my gaze. “It is only necessary.” “And who,” I asked quietly, “would now assume leadership during the time of this review? A pack cannot go without an Alpha or any leadership.”Everyone in the chamber held their breath. Elder Bragg turned towards me. “I propose an interim Alpha,” he said. “One that has the experience and the understanding of the traditions of a pack’s high council. A person that commands loyalty without divine controversy.” I didn’t move. Didn’t smile. I didn’t even breathe for a second. Then I shook my head slowl

  • The Wrong Mate, The Right Alpha   Chapter 112 - The Motion that Starts the Wheel.

    Darius’s POV Power never announced itself with thunder. It arrived quietly, through procedure,‘precedent and the careful misuse of words that sounded harmless to the dull lesser minds into agreement. I had learned that lesson early on, long before Damon was even coronated as the Alpha of Redwind. Long before the Moon Goddess had complicated matters for our family by choosing the wrong son. The old council chamber in the Redwind mansion was already half full when I entered. That alone told me everything I needed to know. Elder Bragg sat at the far end of the moon styled table, spine straight and with his fingers folded. His expression was carved from stone, his wife occupied the seat beside him despite having no formal authority. That was an intentional breach meant to provoke, to normalize defiance before it was officially sanctioned. He was making his own moves and marking his own territory, wings that I would clip off when the time was right. Several elders leaned towards on

    Talia’s POV “I’d thought you’d want me here,” I said softly. “Afterall we were in this together… would you want your associates to be left high and dry?”Seraphina’s gaze flickered. Just for a second. “Circumstances change and ours have changed already. The moment our hidden business became public… we ceased being associates.” The doors behind her opened wider. “You can come in,” she said. “But understand this, Alpha Princess: if you bring Damon’s attention down on us any further, you will not leave Redwind alive.” She whispered. “That’s my promise to you, Alpha Princess Talia.” I stepped past her, pulse roaring in my ears. This wasn’t what I had planned. This was not the safety I sought when I ran away from Stormdawn. This was another cage… just without the humiliation of people that bowed to me. As the doors closed behind me with one of the omegas taking me to my room far from the main quarters. The weight of the situation settled deep in my bones. I had run from my father’

  • The Wrong Mate, The Right Alpha   Chapter 110 - The Run to Redwind

    Talia’s POV I didn’t wait for permission. The moment the guard turned his back, the moment the echo of his boots faded down the corridor a bit, I made my move. I had spent my entire life learning how to survive in rooms like the one my father was calling me to. How to smile when cornered and how to bow without breaking, how to disappear while standing in plain sight.Being the Alpha Princess of Stormdawn had taught me that much, being my father’s daughter had done even more, if nothing else. But this time, survival didn’t mean composure. It meant escape. At that point, I gripped the guard by the neck taking him unawares and then touched the point in his jugular that I knew would be the point to put him to sleep. When I was sure he was down, he slipped through the servants’ passageways, the ones my father never bothered to learn because they were built for people he didn’t see. My pulse pounded in my ears, every shadow was a threat, every sound was a blade waiting to drop. The c
