To Kill Alpha Roderic Chapter 12: The Sovereign’s Shadow
- RAVENAThe small timber cabin Edith had given me was quiet, save for the rhythmic clicking of the dying embers in the hearth. For three days, I barely left the mattress. My body was paying the price for the miles I’d dragged it through, and every muscle felt like it had been shredded and stitched back together with rusty wire. The friction burns from the silver-iron shackles on my wrists were finally starting to scab over, thanks to a pungent moss salve Rayna had brought me, but the hollow ache where Astraea used to be remained. Without a wolf’s rapid healing, I was just a fragile, breakable human.Somewhere in the deep, freezing middle of the night, the ambient temperature in the cabin suddenly shifted.I woke up with a gasp, my hand instantly flying to the heavy Crimson Gibcasite pendant resting against my collarbone. It wasn't the bitter winter wind that had startled me awake. It was the strange air. The draft coming through the floorboards suddenly felt dense and dry, carryi
To Kill Alpha Roderic Chapter 11: The Hollow-Eye Remnant
- RAVENAThe journey deeper into the woods felt like a slow, agonizing march through a labyrinth designed to swallow people whole. The tall woman kept her silence as she marched ahead at a relentless pace. Rayna trotted silently beside her with her tiny bare feet.I had to struggle just to keep from falling behind. The oversized trousers kept slipping down my hips, forcing me to clutch the thick waistband with one hand while using the other to hoist myself up the steep incline. My legs were still shaking from days of running without food, but the real agony was the deep, throbbing ache left by the Crimsonridge cells. My wrists and ankles were still raw and bloody from the heavy silver-iron shackles they’d chained me with, and my back was stiff from the beatings the enforcers handed out like daily rations. The Council’s binding ritual had left my entire nervous system feeling like it had been set on fire. Every step reminded me of the hell they'd put me through.We climbed higher,
To Kill Alpha Roderic Chapter 10: Follow Us
- RAVENARayna shrank back so fast she practically dissolved into the thick trunk of the pine tree. Her small shoulders shook under her wool shawl, her eyes fixed on the dirt as if looking at her mother would somehow make things worse. One look at the kid was enough to see how frightened she was.I didn't want to get a child killed, and I definitely didn't want to get my throat ripped out by a woman who looked like she could snap me in half with her mind.Using the rough bark of the tree behind me, I forced myself up. My knees wobbled violently, my feet slipping slightly on the slick moss, but I managed to stay upright, leaning heavily against the trunk just to keep from collapsing right back into the dirt."She didn't do anything," I croaked out, my voice cracking. "It’s my fault. I’m just... I'm harmless. Look at me."The woman’s pale eyes didn't soften. They stayed sharp as flint, tracking the way my hands shook against the bark."I'm wolfless," I said, the words scraping their way
To Kill Alpha Roderic Chapter 9: Strangers
- RAVENAMy feet felt numb and heavy, and every step sent an ache through my back. Between the injury after the Council's punishment, an escape through the freezing river, the drop off that waterfall, the lack of a wolf to keep me warm, and the hollow emptiness in my stomach, I was completely running on fumes. I hadn't eaten a real meal in days. My throat had gone completely dry, making every swallow a struggle.I didn't know where I was going anymore. I was just putting one foot in front of the other, moving away from the border, away from the Crimsonridge Pack, and away from that angry, paralyzed wolf by the pool.Eventually, the forest started to spin. The dark pines blurred together into a messy green smear, and my knees buckled. I didn't even try to catch myself. I just tipped forward, collapsing onto a bed of frozen moss beneath a massive, ancient pine. The ground was hard and unforgiving, but right then, it felt like a feather bed. I let my eyes close, the freezing cold wrappin
To Kill Alpha Roderic Chapter 8: Heat Sparks
Chapter 8: Heat Sparks- RODERIC"Alpha! What the hell happened?"Lucas came sliding down the slick embankment so fast he nearly took a dive straight into the pool himself. He had his dagger drawn, his eyes darting around the empty banks like he expected an ambush. When he looked at me, still sitting frozen in the water, his jaw practically dropped."Where's your gear?" he asked, his voice spiking with panic. "Alpha, why are you—""She took them," I growled, my teeth finally starting to click from the exhaustion of holding myself up. "Some crazy girl just plunged right off the top of the falls, landed straight on my lap, and then bolted into the trees with my damn clothes."Lucas stared at me, his brow furrowing into a tight knot. He lowered his dagger but didn't sheathe it. "A girl? Fell from the waterfall? Alpha, you’ve been soaking in this water for too long. The frost is getting to your brain.""I am not hallucinating, Lucas!" I snapped, slamming my palm against the surface of the
To Kill Alpha Roderic Chapter 7: Ash and Ink
- RAVENA"Hey! Drop that!" the paralyzed man shouted from the pool, his voice booming with a furious authority that made the water vibrate.I didn't answer. I just backed up into the slushy gravel, my breath hitching as I clutched the heavy pile of dry clothes against my chest."You're dead if I catch you!" he snarled, his dark eyes fixed on me with enough heat to melt the permafrost. "Put them down!"I didn't wait around to see if his legs miraculously decided to start working. I turned on my heel and bolted into the brush, disappearing into the dense woods like a ghost.My lungs were burning, screaming for oxygen as I frantically kicked my feet, trying to break through the surface of that freezing pool. When my head finally popped above the water, I let out a violent, hacking cough, sucking in the icy air so fast it made my chest ache."Lucas! Get your ass down here right now!" Behind me, the paralyzed man was shouting something, his voice deep and furious, echoing off the wet cany
