They Both Wanted Me Chapter 160: The Full Circle
The fire crackled in the hearth, casting dancing shadows across the walls of the cabin. Kael sat on a wooden chair across from Lena, his hands clasped between his knees, his golden eyes fixed on her face. She had been quiet since the training session ended, her golden eyes distant, her thoughts somewhere else. Caspian stood by the window, his red eyes fixed on the forest, his body tense with the anticipation of danger.The night was cold and still, the kind of night that made wolves want to curl up by the fire and wait for dawn. Kael should have been sleeping, should have been conserving his strength for the challenges ahead, but sleep had become a stranger to him. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw Lena's face. Every time he drifted off, he dreamed of golden eyes and a light that seemed to promise something he couldn't yet
They Both Wanted Me Chapter 159: The Alliance
The days at the Silver One's territory settled into an uneasy rhythm. Kael woke before dawn each morning, trained with the wolves who had accompanied them, and spent the afternoons watching over Lena as she struggled to understand the powers awakening inside her. Caspian was always there, a silent presence at the edge of the clearing, his red eyes fixed on Lena with an intensity that made Kael's hackles rise.They didn't speak much, the two of them. There was too much history between their kinds, too much blood, too much pain. But they shared a common purpose, and that purpose was enough to keep them from tearing each other apart."She's getting stronger," Caspian said one evening, as they watched Lena practice summo
They Both Wanted Me Chapter 158: The Rival
The morning light was pale and cold, filtering through the gaps in the cabin's shutters and casting long shadows across the wooden floor. Kael had been awake for hours, lying in his bed, staring at the ceiling, feeling the pull of the mate bond tighten around his chest with every passing moment. Lena was in the room down the hall, sleeping, recovering, trying to make sense of a world that had turned upside down in the span of a single night.He had found her. After decades of waiting, of dreaming, of praying to a moon that sometimes seemed deaf to his pleas, he had found her. She was everything his mother had described and more—fierce, scared, brave, *his*.But she wasn't his alone.
They Both Wanted Me Chapter 157: The First Meeting
The morning light was pale and cold, filtering through the narrow gap between the buildings and casting long shadows across the alley floor. Kael had been waiting for hours, standing in the same spot, watching Lena's window, feeling the pull of the mate bond tighten around his chest with every passing moment. Caspian had left at dawn, muttering something about scouting the perimeter, about checking for any sign of Seraphine's hunters, about giving Kael the space he needed to do what needed to be done.Kael wasn't sure what needed to be done. He only knew that he couldn't wait any longer.He crossed the street, climbed the stairs to Lena's apartment, and knocked on the door.
They Both Wanted Me Chapter 156: The Vampire's Shadow
The forest was cold and dark, the trees pressing close on either side, their branches forming a canopy that blocked out most of the moonlight. Kael stood at the edge of the human city, watching the lights flicker in the distance, feeling the weight of the years pressing down on his shoulders. Lena was somewhere in that sprawl of buildings and streets, living a life she didn't understand, waiting for a future she couldn't imagine.He had been watching her for weeks now, ever since the rogue attack, ever since Selene had helped him bring her to the pack's territory. Lena had been confused, scared, desperate for answers that Kael hadn't been able to give her. He had tried to explain, tried to tell her about the prophecy, about the moon, about the bond that connected them, but the words had come out wrong, and she had looked at him
They Both Wanted Me Chapter 155: The Rogue Ambush
The trail led Kael away from the pack's territory, away from the forest he had known his entire life, toward the outskirts of the human city where Lena lived. He moved through the darkness with desperate speed, his paws pounding against the earth, his breath coming in short, sharp gasps. The scent of the corrupted wolves was strong, almost overwhelming, a mixture of blood and fear and something else, something that reminded him of Seraphine's hunters.Torvin had wanted to come with him, had argued that Kael shouldn't face the rogues alone, but Kael had refused. This was his responsibility. His failure. His chance to make things right.The moon was hidden behind thick clouds, casting the world in shadow, and Kael reli
They Both Wanted Me Chapter 6: The Reckoning
Midnight approached like a held breath.I'd spent the entire day cleaning my apartment—not because I cared what they thought, but because I needed something to do with my hands. Something to distract from the churning in my stomach and the weight of what was about to happen.Elinor seemed to sense
They Both Wanted Me Chapter 5: The Weight of Blood
The photograph trembled in my hands.My grandmother. The oldest living vampire in existence. The woman who'd sent wolves to kill me before I even knew I was worth killing."I don't understand," I whispered. "If she's my grandmother, if she's family—why does she want me dead?"Kael's expression was
They Both Wanted Me Chapter 4: The First Taste of Power
I dreamed of fire.Not destructive fire—something older. The kind of flame that lived in candles and hearths and the hearts of stars. It burned behind my eyes, warm and golden, and in its center stood the woman from before. The Moon Priestess. Kael's mother.She looked different this time. Less eth
They Both Wanted Me Chapter 3: The Space Between Heartbeats
The pendant burned against my chest.Not painfully—more like a reminder, a pulse of warmth that synchronized with my heartbeat. You're alive, it seemed to say. You're here. You're more than you know.Kael hadn't moved. He stood in the center of my tiny apartment, taking up all the air, all the spac
