Twice Marked,Twice Loved Chapter 13: The Price of Power
The colossal hand of shadow and bone loomed over the ruins, its jagged fingers clawing toward Autumn, each movement dripping with an ancient malice that made the air feel thick and suffocating. The wards around the stone circle flickered wildly, their pale light struggling against the onslaught of the Crescent Order’s creatures and the monstrous entity rising from the cracked earth. Autumn’s silver light pulsed erratically, her body trembling as the Callisto power surged within her, both a shield and a storm threatening to tear her apart.“Gale!” she cried, her voice breaking as she clung to him, her hands glowing where they gripped his bloodied arm. The pain from the curse her mother’s memory had warned of burned through her, like fire in her veins. She could feel the legacy’s power demanding release, but it was incomplete, unstable—tied to the bond she hadn’t yet claimed.Gale’s eyes locked onto hers, fierce and unwavering despite the wounds crisscrossing his body. Kane’s presence s
Twice Marked,Twice Loved Chapter 12: Echoes of the Ancients
The roar of the approaching creatures shook the safehouse like an earthquake, their monstrous forms crashing through the underbrush outside. Gale stood in his wolf form, Kane's powerful body braced against the doorway, fur matted with blood from his wounds. The woman's sudden disappearance left a void filled only by the acrid scent of her dark magic, but the real threat was closing in—these beasts, summoned by the Crescent Order, their eyes glowing like embers in the night. They weren't wolves; they were abominations, twisted hybrids of shadow and flesh, their limbs elongated and jagged with bone-like protrusions.Levi and the warriors had pulled Autumn through the back exit, her silver light still flickering faintly as she glanced back at Gale, her face etched with worry. "Gale, come on!" she shouted, her voice cutting through the chaos. But he couldn't leave yet; he had to hold the line, buy them time to escape deeper into the forest.One of the creatures burst through the weakened
Twice Marked,Twice Loved Chapter 11: The Moon’s Call
The woman’s words hung in the air like a death knell, her glowing eyes boring into me as Nathaniel writhed on the floor, blood pooling beneath him. The massive wolf whimpered, retreating to the shadows, its unnatural aura fading. Autumn knelt beside me, her breath ragged, her hands clutching her chest as if the pendant’s shattering had torn something from her. The safehouse was eerily silent, the wards now dead, leaving us exposed.“Get up,” I growled at Autumn, hauling her to her feet. My side burned from the wolf’s claws, but I ignored it, my focus split between the woman and the need to get Autumn out of here. Kane was frantic, urging me to shift and fight, but I sensed the woman’s power was beyond anything I’d faced. This wasn’t a battle I could win—not yet.The woman tilted her head, her cloak shifting to reveal a glimpse of pale skin and sharp cheekbones. “You’re stubborn, Alpha Gale,” she said, her voice laced with amusement. “But you can’t protect her from her destiny. The Cal
Twice Marked,Twice Loved Chapter 10: The Traitor’s Game
The sight of Nathaniel standing in the shattered doorway, clutching the glowing pendant, sent a surge of fury through me. Kane roared within, claws itching to rip through the smug Alpha who had already taken so much from Autumn. The massive wolf beside him growled, its coal-black eyes fixed on us, its fur bristling with an unnatural sheen. The air reeked of ash and decay, the same scent as the cloaked figure, confirming my worst fears: Nathaniel was no mere bystander in this hunt.“Stay back,” I snarled at Autumn, positioning myself between her and the intruders. Her green eyes burned with defiance, but fear flickered beneath, her body tense as she gripped the edge of the chair.Nathaniel’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Protective, aren’t you, Gale? Pity you’re too late.” He dangled the pendant, its crescent moon and arrow symbol pulsing with eerie light. “She was never yours to keep.”“What do you want with her?” I demanded, my voice a low growl. Kane was barely contained, my mu
Twice Marked,Twice Loved Chapter 9: Blood and Bonds
Glass rained down as I tackled Autumn to the floor, the black arrow embedding itself in the wall where her head had been moments before. Her gasp was sharp, her body trembling beneath mine as I shielded her, my senses screaming. The scent of ash and blood flooded the room, the same as the cloaked figure’s, but they were gone, the night outside silent except for the howling wind.“Stay down,” I growled, scanning the shattered window. Nothing. No movement, no sound. But I knew they were out there, watching, waiting. Kane was feral, clawing at my control, desperate to hunt the threat. I forced him back, focusing on Autumn. Her green eyes were wide, her breath ragged, but she wasn’t hurt. Not yet.“Gale,” she whispered, her voice shaking. “That arrow… it’s the same symbol.”I followed her gaze to the arrow, its crescent-shaped fletching glinting in the moonlight. The shaft was carved with intricate runes, pulsing faintly like the parchment had. This wasn’t just a weapon—it was a message.
Twice Marked,Twice Loved Chapter 8: The Shadow’s Strike
The cloaked figure’s lunge was a blur, their glowing eyes locked on Autumn with predatory intent. My instincts roared to life, and I shoved Autumn behind me, my body shifting halfway into wolf form before I could think. Kane surged forward, claws extending, fur bristling along my spine. The air crackled with tension as the figure halted mid-step, their head tilting as if amused by my reaction.“Gale, no!” Autumn’s voice was sharp, her hand grabbing my arm, but I shook her off, my focus on the threat. The figure’s scent was wrong—wolf, yet tainted with something acrid, like ash and blood. Not a rogue, not a pack member. Something else entirely.“Who are you?” I growled, my voice more beast than man. The pack members nearby froze, their eyes darting between us, sensing the danger. Levi, who’d been handling the blood-soaked parchment, dropped it and stepped to my side, his own wolf stirring.The figure laughed, a low, grating sound that sent a chill through me. “You don’t know me, Alpha
