They sold me like I was already dead.

I stood there barefoot on the freezing stone floor, chains heavy on my wrists, the thin white robe doing nothing against the cold or the shame burning in my chest. My heart hammered so loud I could barely hear anything else. This could not be real. After everything they promised.

The Head Priest sat behind his desk with that gentle smile he always used when he lied. He slid the papers across to Silas like it was nothing.

“Lord Silas, Ashe is yours now,” the Priest said calmly. “Twenty-two, healthy, untouched. He will serve your pack well.”

I clenched my jaw until it hurt. Do not cry. Do not beg. Not in front of him.

Silas stood tall and silent, like a statue carved from darkness. His face gave away nothing. Only that left hand caught my eye, smooth and shining like polished marble. He took the papers with his right hand and looked them over without a word.

“Will he survive the first night?” Silas asked, voice low and rough.

The Priest nodded. “He has spirit. Strong enough for the bond.”

I finally spoke, my voice coming out smaller than I wanted. “Father… after everything you said. You swore you’d help me.”

The Priest barely glanced my way. “This is help, Ashe. A greater purpose. Be grateful.”

Grateful. The word made my stomach turn. I wanted to scream at him, to throw the chains in his face, but my throat closed up. All those years in the Sanctuary, all the prayers, the punishments, the hope. It meant nothing.

Silas folded the papers. “We are done here.”

“Wait,” I whispered, pulling back as he stepped closer. My bare feet scraped the stone. “Please. Just… tell me what happens now.”

Silas grabbed my chained wrists. His grip was firm, warm on one side, ice cold where the marble fingers touched. “You come with me. No more talk.”

The Priest stood and placed a hand on my shoulder. I flinched hard.

“Obey them, child,” he said softly. “Serve with an open heart. This is your path.”

I bit the inside of my cheek until I tasted blood. I had so much I wanted to say, but the words stuck. Instead I just nodded once, hating myself for it.

Silas pulled me toward the side door. The moment we stepped outside, freezing rain slammed into me. It soaked the robe instantly, making it cling to my skin. I gasped and nearly slipped on the wet steps.

“Keep moving,” Silas ordered.

“I can’t feel my feet,” I muttered, but I kept going. What choice did I have?

He pushed me into the black carriage. I sat across from him, dripping, shivering, arms wrapped around myself as much as the chains allowed. The marble hand rested on his knee like something dead. I stole glances at it, then looked away fast when he noticed.

“Eyes forward, boy,” he growled.

I stared at the floor instead. My mind would not stop racing. What if they kill me tonight? What if the rumors are true and they tear Omegas apart? I should have run when I had the chance. I should have…

The carriage jerked forward. Rain pounded the roof like fists. Every bump in the road sent fear spiking through me. I stayed quiet for a long time, but the silence got heavier.

“Why me?” I finally asked, voice barely above the rain.

“The Priest offered you,” Silas said. “Said you were suitable.”

Suitable. Like furniture. I swallowed hard and did not reply. Asking more felt dangerous. This man owned me now. Pushing him might make things worse.

Silas shifted in his seat. “You are not screaming. Most do.”

I looked up for a second, then back down. “Would it help?”

“No.”

Another long silence. I fought the tears burning in my eyes. I am alone. Really alone. No one is coming for me.

Lightning flashed outside. For one bright moment I saw the massive shape of Thornwood Estate through the trees. Dark towers, twisted vines, windows glowing like dying eyes. It looked wrong. Hungry.

My chest tightened. “That is your home?”

“Yes.”

I did not ask anything else. My hands shook in my lap. Part of me wanted to beg him to turn around, to take me back, but I knew he would not. So I sat there, small and wet and terrified, trying to breathe through the panic.

The carriage finally stopped. Silas opened the door and stepped out, then reached for me. I hesitated before taking his hand. The cold marble against my skin made me flinch.

We climbed the wide stone steps. My legs felt weak. The huge doors creaked open when Silas pushed them.

Inside, the grand hall smelled of dust, old wood, and something alive. Something watching. Shadows stretched everywhere.

Three pairs of eyes locked onto me from the far side of the hall.

One cold and commanding.

One burning with wild hunger.

One clouded and eerie, like it saw straight into my soul.

I froze, breath caught in my throat.

“Welcome to Thornwood,” Silas said quietly beside me.

The heavy iron doors slammed shut behind us with a deep, final boom that echoed through my bones. It sounded like the end of everything.

My heart pounded so hard it hurt. No way out. No escape. Just these three cursed men and whatever waited in the darkness of this house.

I was theirs now. And I was terrified.

  • The cursed alpha's dirty secret    The Keepers Rest

    "I want to stop."The words hung in the air, heavy and strange. Kaela was standing at the edge of Sanctuary, her eyes fixed on the horizon. I moved to stand beside her, my heart clenching at the exhaustion in her voice."Stop what?" I asked."Everything," she said. "The traveling. The teaching. The fighting. I'm so tired, Father. I've been fighting my whole life."I looked at her, really looked at her. She was thirty-five now, but she looked older. The years of struggle had worn her down, carved lines into her face that shouldn't have been there yet."What would you do instead?" I asked.She was silent for a long moment, her eyes still fixed on the horizon. "I don't know. I've never thought about it. I've never had time to think about it.""Then think about it now," I said. "What do you want, Kaela? Not what the circle needs. Not what the world needs. What do you need?"She turned to look at me, tears streaming down her face. "I need to rest. I need to be still. I need to stop running

  • The cursed alpha's dirty secret    The Book of Light

    "The book is writing itself."Kaela's voice was filled with wonder. She was sitting at the desk in the library, the manuscript she had been working on spread out before her. But something was different. The pages were glowing, the words shifting and changing on their own."What do you mean, writing itself?" I asked, moving to stand beside her."Look," she said, pointing at the page. "I wrote this chapter yesterday. But now it's different. There are new words. New stories."I looked at the page and saw it. The words were indeed new, telling stories I had never heard before. Stories of keepers from distant lands. Stories of circles we had never known."The book is connected to the circle," I said. "It's recording everything. Every keeper. Every circle. Every act of love.""How is that possible?" Wren asked, joining us."The first keepers," I said. "They must have created it. A book that would write itself. A book that would record the history of the light."We watched as the pages fille

  • The cursed alpha's dirty secret    The First Keepers Speak

    "We have waited so long to tell our story."The old man's voice was fragile, worn thin by centuries of silence. He was sitting by the fire in the great hall of Sanctuary, the other first keepers gathered around him. We sat at their feet like children, hungry for every word."Tell us," Kaela said. "Tell us everything."The old man looked at her, his ancient eyes softening. "You remind me of someone I knew long ago. Someone brave. Someone who gave everything for the people she loved.""Who was she?" Kaela asked."My daughter," he said. "Her name was Aria. She was the first keeper. The one who created the circle."The fire crackled, and the first keepers bowed their heads in memory. I felt the warmth pulse around us, connecting us to something ancient and sacred."What happened to her?" Wren asked gently."She died," the old man said. "She died creating the circle. She gave her life so that others could live.""I'm sorry," Kaela whispered."Don't be," the old man said. "She chose her pat

  • The cursed alpha's dirty secret    The Day the Light Wept

    "Something is wrong with the garden."Kaela's voice was sharp with alarm. She was standing in the center of the garden of light, her hands pressed against the glowing earth. I moved to stand beside her, my heart pounding in my chest."What do you mean?" I asked."The flowers," she said. "They're dimming. The light is fading."I looked and saw it. The flowers that had once blazed with warmth were growing pale. The glow that had filled the garden was flickering like a candle in the wind."How is that possible?" Wren asked, rushing to join us. "The circle is complete. The light is everywhere.""Something is draining it," Kaela said. "Something is taking the warmth."I closed my eyes and reached for the circle, for the connection that bound us all together. I could feel it, but it was weaker than before. Something was wrong."There's a sickness in the light," I said. "Something is corrupting it.""What kind of sickness?" Lyra asked."I don't know," I said. "But we need to find out before

  • The cursed alpha's dirty secret    The New Keepers

    "They're coming. More of them than we ever imagined."Kaela's voice was calm, but I could hear the excitement underneath. She was standing at the entrance of Sanctuary, her eyes fixed on the horizon. I moved to stand beside her, my heart swelling with pride."Who's coming?" I asked."Everyone," she said. "People from every corner of the world. They've heard about the light. They want to be part of it."I looked out at the horizon and saw them. Dozens of figures, then hundreds, walking toward us. They came from every direction, drawn by the light that now covered the world."We need to prepare," Wren said, joining us. "We need to make room for all of them.""The garden will provide," I said. "The light will provide. We don't have to worry.""How can you be so sure?" she asked.I looked at her, at the woman I loved more than anything. "Because we built this together. And together, we can do anything."The newcomers arrived in waves, their faces full of wonder and hope. They had traveled

  • The cursed alpha's dirty secret    The Circle Complete

    "Something is happening to the garden."Elara's voice carried a note of urgency I hadn't heard in years. She was standing in the center of the garden of light, her hands pressed against the glowing earth. I watched from the warmth, from the circle, from everywhere and nowhere."What do you mean?" Wren asked, rushing to her side."The flowers," Elara said. "They're changing. Growing. Something is coming."Kaela moved to stand beside her mother, her face calm but alert. She had returned from her travels only weeks before, and already she seemed to sense that something important was about to happen."What kind of something?" Kaela asked."I don't know," Elara said. "But it feels like... completion. Like something that was started a long time ago is finally finishing."The villagers gathered around the garden, their faces full of wonder and curiosity. The flowers were indeed changing, growing taller, brighter, more alive."It's the circle," Lyra said, her voice barely a whisper. "The circ
