The cursed mate's return Thorns in the dark
Maia's povThe moment Rydan disappeared, I ran.“Faster,” my wolf urged, prowling close to the surface.I pushed harder.The rooftop meeting had shaken something loose inside me. The stranger, Rydan yet hadn’t attacked. He hadn’t forced me. He hadn’t even touched me.He’d only delivered a warning I never wanted:They know you’re alive.The words still echoed like a drumbeat against my skull.Six years of hiding.Six years of silence. Six years of pretending the past had died with the forest.All undone in one night.I landed on the next roof, knees bending with the impact. A hiss of pain escaped between my teeth, my muscles still sore from the tense hours spent waiting for the stranger last night. But I didn’t stop.Kael.His scent seeped into my senses like warmth beneath cold ashes. I felt it before I breathed it. Felt it in the mark glowing faintly under my skin, pulsing in tune with a heartbeat I didn’t want to acknowledge.He was close.I crouched by the edge of a rooftop and pee
The cursed mate's return Hunter's brokey
Kael's pov“Tell me you’re joking.”I didn’t realize I’d said it aloud until the Beta beside me stiffened.Jace turned his head slowly, dark brows lifting. “Do I look like I’m joking, Kael?”No.He didn’t.Not with that look on his face, the one he wore only when blood was involved.We stood in the underground parking garage beneath the Silvercrest office building, surrounded by the echo of engines humming and heels clacking on concrete. But the moment Jace stepped out of the shadows to find me, everything else went quiet.I’d sensed him before I saw him.Old pack scent.Old forest.Old memories I had no space for today.I shut the car door and faced him fully. “Start talking. Now.”Jace crossed his arms, the leather of his jacket creaking. “We picked up a rogue trail outside the city looked fresh.”“Another one?” I muttered. “That’s the third this month.”He didn’t correct me. He didn’t need to.Because the next words changed everything.“It wasn’t just a rogue.” Jace lowered his voi
The cursed mate's return Planned trap
Maia's povI pressed my palms against my eyes. Nora was right, I looked pale.I was shaking.And no amount of lying to myself was going to fix that someone had not only broken into my apartment but left a warning so sharp it still felt like a blade at my throat.I inhaled. Exhaled but work didn’t get the chance to start.My phone buzzed. A calendar update flashed on the screen.'Meeting with Silvercrest Industries — 10:30 AM. Mandatory, assigned, Maia Reyes'I was stunned.Silvercrest? Kael?No. No, no, no—I scrambled through the company software, searching for a mistake. A reassignment. A ticket misfiled. Anything that told me this wasn’t real.But my name sat right there in black letters. Assigned to the meeting was required.Someone had placed me in Kael’s orbit. Someone knew exactly what they were doing.A chill rippled through my spine.This was a trap.Either for me or for him.By ten-fifteen, I had run out of time to think.The conference room sat on the twelfth floor—glass-wa
The cursed mate's return Rooftop ghosts
Maia's povCars rushed through puddles, spraying arcs of dirty water onto sidewalks. People brushed past me with umbrellas angled like shields. My clothes were dry but my body felt damp from the inside out, as if last night’s rain had soaked through my bones and stayed there.I kept my hood up and my gaze down while weaving through the crowds toward the subway entrance. The breeze hit the back of my neck, making the mark.Every few steps, I scanned the reflections in windows. The movement behind me. The weight of footsteps too deliberately matched with mine.The stranger from last night was gone.When I reached the bottom of the subway stairs, the roar of the approaching train forced me to slow. People flocked toward the platform edge. I slipped through the crowd, pressing myself between two commuters, and waited.My wolf paced beneath my skin, unsettled. She didn’t like the tight spaces, the underground air, the press of bodies. "He's out there." she whispered.“Quiet,” I muttered
The cursed mate's return Unseen pains under the rain
Maia's povThe rain followed me all the way back to my building, soaking through my clothes until my bones felt heavy. My hands wouldn’t stop shaking, no matter how tightly I curled them. Not from the cold. Not from him. From everything piling at once like a storm I had outrun for six straight years.I pushed through the front door of my apartment building and climbed the stairs fast. Too fast. My breath came out uneven by the time I reached my floor. My fingers slipped on the key twice before I managed to twist it.The hallway lights flickered overhead.I stepped inside and locked the door behind me, sliding the bolt twice out of habit.Silence spread through the room, thick and stale. My tiny kitchen smelled faintly of spices from last night. The cracked window rattled with the wind. It should have felt normal. Familiar. Safe.Instead, my skin crawled.I walked slowly toward the table. Something was different. Nothing looked out of place, yet the air felt wrong. Too still. Too quiet
The cursed mate's return Locked in
Kael's povThe moment I saw that car shadowing her, my pulse cut into a pace I only knew on the battlefield.The glass doors slid open under my hand, and cold rain slapped against my skin, but my focus stayed locked on her small figure moving down the sidewalk, shoulders tight, steps fast.The black sedan rolled forward again, keeping the same slow, deliberate distance.I stepped into the street.Elara’s voice followed behind me."Kael where are you going."I didn’t answer. I didn’t even break stride. My feet hit the pavement with a purpose that rarely surfaced inside city limits. My wolf pressed against my ribs, claws scraping, instincts sharpening until each scent in the air separated like threads.Maia.Her fear was faint, hidden, but real.The car accelerated by a fraction.My vision narrowed.I crossed the street and followed from behind, not enough to alarm her, but close enough to intercept whatever thought it could close in on her.Her hands were shaking. Even from this distan
