~ELENA~

The forest pressed in around me from every direction, dense and unfamiliar. The trees were too tall and the air was too thick with the scent of wet bark and rotting leaves.

Honestly, I didn't know how I got here. I just knew I was standing in the middle of nowhere.

I turned slowly, my heart hammering against my ribs inside of me. My eyes scanned the whole place as I searched the shadows between the trees, waiting for something to move, but nothing did.

"Hello?" My voice came out barely

  • Tormented By Mated Alpha,Claimed By Feared & Cursed Alpha   Chapter 25

    The walk to the Alpha's quarters felt endless. It felt like we were heading to the end of the world. The guards kept a firm grip on each of my arms, half dragging me along the stone path, my bare feet stumbling over uneven ground I couldn't fully see in the dark. Tears blurred everything around me, but even through them, I noticed something strange the moment the towering structure of the quarters came into view.It was quiet, but I didn’t understand the silence. I had tried to live in silence for a long time, and it was that heavy and suffocating type of silence that came after loss, but this one was different. This silence had something else attached to it. It was like a pressure that pressed against my skin the closer we got, like the air itself was holding its breath.My stomach turned over slowly inside me, and then I heard something I hadn't heard in longer than I could remember.“Something is different here.” I froze for half a step, startled as I recognized the voice of my wo

    ~MOON DAWN PACK~"JAKE!!!"I jerked awake, my own scream tearing through my throat before my eyes were even fully open. My hands clawed at the air in front of me, still reaching, and trying to hold onto something that wasn't there."Jake!" I gasped, scrambling upright on the thin mat. "Jake, I'm here, I'm right here—""Elena." I heard my name as gentle hands grabbed my shoulders firmly. "Elena, stop. Look at me. Please, look at me right now."It was Mira.Her face came into focus slowly, her brows pulled together, her eyes wide and worried."He's gone," I choked out, the dream still vivid and raw behind my eyes. "They took him. He was right there, Mira. I had him, he was in my arms and they took him again—""Elena, listen to me." Her grip on my shoulders tightened. "You have to lower your voice right now. Else, Cain will hear you.""But I had him." The tears streamed down my face, hot and unstoppable. "I finally had him and they took him. They ripped him right out of my arms and he wa

    ~ELENA~The forest pressed in around me from every direction, dense and unfamiliar. The trees were too tall and the air was too thick with the scent of wet bark and rotting leaves.Honestly, I didn't know how I got here. I just knew I was standing in the middle of nowhere.I turned slowly, my heart hammering against my ribs inside of me. My eyes scanned the whole place as I searched the shadows between the trees, waiting for something to move, but nothing did."Hello?" My voice came out barely above a whisper, but silence answered me.“Hello.” I tried again, a bit louder this time, but my voice echoed back to me.And so I kept walking, my steps careful on the uneven ground, and my senses stretched as far as they could reach. I knew something was wrong, I could feel it deep inside me, but I couldn't even point out what was wrong in this place I couldn't name. I couldn't even remember arriving here. I couldn't remember where I was before or what I was doing or how I arrived where I was

    Zane pulled the door to Milan's room shut behind him and stood in the corridor for a moment. He stared at the small container still in his hand, and thought of what Milan had asked him to do.“But this isn't right.” He muttered inaudibly to himself.Then he slipped the container into the inside pocket of his jacket, and started walking away.He hadn't gone far down the corridor before he heard quick footsteps behind him, and then Vera appeared at his side, slightly breathless, her eyes searching his face for answers before he could even open his mouth to speak."Well?" She asked, keeping her voice low. "Was there anything? Did he say anything useful?"Zane shook his head, his expression showing slight disappointment. He made sure not to tell her anything about the substance Milan gave to him.Vera's shoulders dropped, sadly. She exhaled slowly through her nose, the sound of someone who had expected the answer but had been hoping anyway. "So what do we do now?""I'm going to try speaki

    Zane didn't leave. He stood exactly where he was, his arms still crossed. His eyes remained on Milan, who had already turned back to his desk and picked up one of the papers as though the conversation had ended.But to Zane, the conversation wasn't over.Milan looked up after a short while, and realized Zane was still standing there. "What are you still standing there for?" He asked him."I'm waiting for an answer, Milan." Zane replied, intertwining his hands behind his back."I gave you one." Milan shrugged, his hands in the air, and Zane crossed his arms against his chest once again."You told me to figure it out." Zane uncrossed his arms and took a step toward the desk. "I'm telling you I've run out of options. I've tried everything I can think of. Vera has tried, but the boy just wouldn't budge." He shook his head. "That's why I'm asking you again. What's the plan? What do we actually do about him?"Milan set the paper back on the desk. He leaned back in his chair and stared at Z

    ~AT A SECRET LAIR~The room was small and it smelled of wood and concrete mixed together. There was a narrow bed pushed against one side of the wall, a wooden table in the center, and a single window so high up near the ceiling that even a grown man standing on his toes could barely reach the ledge. The light that came through it was pale and dim, the kind that would give no real information about what time of day it was or where in the world you might be.Little Jake sat in the far corner of the room, his small knees drawn up to his chest, his back pressed hard against the wall like he was trying to push himself through it.He heard the lock before he heard the door. The bolt scraped back with a sound that had become the most frightening sound in his world, and he shrank further into the corner, pulling himself as small as he could go, his wide eyes fixed on the door as it swung inward, and Vera stepped through.She was a young maid, not really taller than some of the older children

    Hearing Sophia’s voice, Jackson's expression immediately turned into concern. One I couldn't find in his eyes even after we had informed him that his own son had been kidnapped.“What is going on? What's happening to Lily? She has a fever? How high?" He turned away from me, his voice softening. "Ok

    The garden below was dark and empty, but there was no sign of my son anywhere."No, no, no, no." I spun around, checking under the bed, in the closet, behind the curtains. "Jake! Baby, where are you?""Elena!" Raphael burst through the door, three warriors behind him. "Where's Jake?""He's gone! Th

    Honestly, I had no answer to Jake's question, because I didn't know how to explain to my son why his father kept making another woman's child his priority.That evening, after putting Jake to bed early, I went to find Jackson. He was in his study, reviewing some pack document plans."We need to tal

    "Mama, why doesn't Papa like us?"Jake's question hit me like a physical blow. I stopped brushing his hair and met his innocent eyes in the mirror."What makes you think that, sweetheart?" I asked him."He's always with Lily and her mama," Jake said, his bottom lip trembling. "He bought Lily a new
