Ayla’s POV

An entire week of playing maid while trying to keep up with the training had left me a hollowed out version of myself. I pressed a towel dripping with ice cold water against my forehead, a small gasp escaping my lips as the chill cooled my system. I slumped back against the wooden bench, closing my eyes for just a second…

“Sleeping on duty?” My eyes snapped open to find several more on me. I scrambled to my feet, my joints popping in protest as I joined the line. Silas stood before u

    Ayla’s POV.“Hell yeah,” Maya muttered, her voice a low vibration in my mind. “I bet they didn’t see that coming.” I could practically feel her tail wagging in victory.We gathered in a tight circle around the trainers. Kael stood at the center, his presence heavy and demanding as usual. As the trainers moved through the crowd to inspect the newly shifted wolves, the atmosphere turned from adrenaline to pure shock. When they reached me, their eyes widened and pupils dilated. I was massive. Even among the warrior class wolves, I knew my size would rival most. I flashed back to a core memory of my father shifting when I was still little, he had looked like a prehistoric beast compared to the others. Now, looking at my own paws, I realized I hadn’t just inherited his strength… I’d inherited his size.“We’ve hidden three sacred items around the mountain,” Kael’s voice cut through the awe, gravelly and cold. “You’ll hunt for survival while searching. It lasts three days, and you'll be pai

  • Wrapped in My Enemy’s Arms    Chapter Twenty-Five

    Ayla’s POVThe next morning, my wolf was restless.You should’ve stayed with Agnar longer, she nudged, her voice echoing in the back of my mind.Kael shifted back first, don’t blame me, I snapped.I think you should just accept him. You like being around him.I sighed, pulling my hair back. Yeah, I liked him, but I wasn't naive. I didn't trust the situation. He was only being this way because of the bond. If we weren’t fated, I’d probably be locked in an iron cell somewhere until he finds a way to break his curse fully. To Kael, I was a pawn, and the bond was just the string he used to move me.I headed down the hall to Kiara’s room. I needed to tell her. She was the only person that knew much about the Sayer blood in me which has finally woken.Before I could even knock, the door swung open. Kiara stood there with her arms crossed, looking like she hadn’t slept much.“Hi,” I said.“Haven’t seen you in a while. How are you, Ayla?” she asked, stepping back to let me in.“I’m fine,” I

  • Wrapped in My Enemy’s Arms    Chapter Twenty-Four

    Ayla’s POV.Kael had asked me to meet him tonight in the warriors’ inner chambers.Now, with the silence of night pressing in, my thoughts refused to stay still.Sebastian’s warning clawed its way back to the surface.Don’t trust the Alpha.I exhaled slowly, trying to steady the unease curling in my chest. I was beginning to trust Kiara… but trust didn’t mean innocence. Not entirely. Not when I remembered that moment— whatever she and Kael had been about to do before something interrupted them.What if tonight was another attempt?My fingers tightened around the hilt of my dagger before I slid it beneath my shirtThe moon was brightest tonight and the energy I felt from other wolves was immense.Do you think my sayer powers could be the one stopping us from shifting? I mindlinked my wolf. I don’t think so, she responds. It’s like I’m being caged and it hurts when I try to break that cage open. I really hope Kael doesn’t plan to hurt me and actually knows what he’s doing. I sneaked

    Ayla’s POV.The mop hit the bucket with a loud splash. I twisted my back until it popped, giving me a short time relief while wishing the ache would just go. As I picked up the mop and headed out of the chamber, my stomach growled but I didn’t care about my aching back or hungry stomach. All I cared about was the ring and winning tonight. I sprinted toward the ring area of the hall just as the heavy doors were being pulled shut. I slipped through the gaps and found a spot before catching my breath.“You’re late,” Silas noted, his eyes trailing over my disheveled appearance. “But I’m here,” he frowned, sending me daggers with his eyes. “I’m sorry.” I admitted before grabbing my practice blade from the rack. I did mini stretches where I was standing as I watched the first fight, Sebastian, for all his talk of caring, fought with a heavy, distracted clumsiness. He was pinned within three minutes, his face hitting the ground as he was eliminated from the first round. A tiny bit of sat

I slumped back against the wooden bench, closing my eyes for just a second…“Sleeping on duty?” My eyes snapped open to find several more on me. I scrambled to my feet, my joints popping in protest as I joined the line. Silas stood before us, his presence looming and cold. I rubbed my eyes, hoping the dark circles weren’t too obvious. “From now until the end of this training, we will work exclusively in our wolf forms,” Silas announced.The words hit me like a physical blow. My heart hammered against my rib. A wolfless wolf in a pack full of predators.“But for today,” Silas continued, pacing the line, “the final day of physical strength training, we hold four duels. The victors will go against each other and the last man standin

    Ayla’s POV‘Why?”The word hung between us. “Is it my fault I was attacked?” My blood surged, pumping hot in my veins. “You snuck out of the pack’s territory, you put lives at risk, Ayla!!”“How?” my jaw locked so tight it ached.“Lydia was out there defenseless because she couldn't find you. She had to come back here to beg me for help because you went rogue!” Kael’s voice broke into a low, predatory growl.“Shit!” I fisted my hands, my nails biting into my palms. The room temperature had gone from cool to hot in a minute.“The elders are wary of you already, Kael stepped into my space, his shadow engulfing me. “And you keep handing them the proof they need that you’re—”“That I’m what? Say it.” I didn't flinch. I stepped closer, meeting his heated gaze.“Never mind.” He snaps his head away, turning towards the door.“Don’t you dare, Kael. Don’t you fucking dare walk away.”At the speed of light, I was slammed back against the stone wall, the air left my lungs in a wheeze as Kael’s

    Kael’s POV“Why isn’t she healing?” I asked, my voice sharper than I intended.Kiara didn’t look up from where her hands hovered over Ayla’s chest, sweat beaded at her temples.“She’s blocking me,” she said through clenched teeth. “I’m trying here Kael.”“Then try harder!” Her head snapped up, eye

    Ayla’s POVAll I could think about was him—my mate. Every rational thought, every attempt to control my wolf fell apart when he was near. My mind screamed for restraint, but my body had its own urgent need. I tried so hard to keep it in, but my restraint exploded the moment he got near me.Earlier

    Kael’s POV. “Thank you for the words of wisdom, Elder. I’ll see you soon,” I murmured before rising to my feet. No one disobeyed the Elders. Their words had shaped the pack for generations. Even previous Alphas of this pack never defied them. Yet today, an elder’s words felt like chains tightene
