171~ I Will Not Hesitate Now

Ronan's Point Of View“Don’t stop.”The healer’s voice is low, focused, but there’s something else beneath it now. Regret. She glances at me briefly, then back at the magic binding my blood to Zane’s chest.“I should have said it earlier.”Her words cut through the hum of magic. I don’t look at her. My palm is still pressed against Zane’s sternum. “You think?” I say quietly.Not loud.Not explosive.Worse.She exhales. “Wolfsbane cases like this are rare. Altered wolfsbane? Almost unheard of. We were focused on stabilizing his heart, his lungs. His wolf was fragmenting under the strain.”“He was dying,” I reply flatly.“Yes.”No denial.No softening.“Yes.”Her hands adjust the flow of magic carefully, narrowing the stream of my blood so it doesn’t surge too fast.“We couldn’t immediately confirm the mate bond’s stability,” she continues. “If the bond was fractured, strained, unacknowledged... introducing Alpha mate-blood too early could have done more harm than good.”Miles shifts b

172~ That Is The Only Guide I Need

Ronan's Point Of ViewThe room was suffocating with magic, blood, and the bitter metallic scent of wolfsbane still clinging to Zane’s skin. My shirt, torn and soaked with my own blood, clung to my chest and arms, veins rising sharply under the strain.Every pulse in my body was mirrored in his chest... or at least, it should have been. Every shallow rise and fall, every twitch of his fingers, was a razor to my nerves.The healer’s hands hovered above him, glowing faintly with that bluish, humming magic that cut through the smell of iron in the air. Her eyes flicked toward me every few seconds, sharp and calculating, always watching, always measuring.Miles lingered near the doorway, his posture stiff, jaw clenched, hands balled into fists that rattled the edges of the stone table he leaned on.The assistants flitted around, but I didn’t care who moved where. No one was allowed near him but me and the healer.“You’re pushing too hard,” she snapped suddenly, voice sharp and urgent. “Ron

173~ Hots For Him

Ronan's Point Of View “...Ronan.”The sound was barely there. A whisper. A breath. A broken thread of a voice. But it hit me like a thunderclap.My name.Coming from him.For a second, I couldn’t breathe.My chest tightened so violently it felt like something inside me might snap. The room blurred at the edges. My lungs forgot how to work. My heart slammed once... hard enough to hurt.He said my name.He was awake.Alive.“Zane…” My voice cracked. I didn’t even recognize it. Rough. Shaking. Nothing like the Alpha everyone feared.I leaned closer instantly, one hand bracing the edge of the bed, the other hovering near his face like I was afraid touching him might break him apart.His eyes were barely open. Heavy. Dazed. But they were looking at me.At me.And something inside my chest caved in.Relief hit so hard it almost suffocated me.A sound tore out of me before I could stop it... half laugh, half broken exhale. My vision burned. I didn’t even realize my eyes were wet until I bli

174~ Ronan, GO

Ronan's Point Of ViewThe air between Miles and me still hummed. Not loud. Not explosive. Just charged. Like lightning sitting quietly inside a glass room. I could still feel it under my skin... that instinctive, territorial pull that hadn’t calmed since the forest. Since blood. Since almost losing him.Mine.The word echoed low in my chest.And then, Zane coughed.It wasn’t soft. It wasn’t subtle, it tore straight through the room. A sharp, rough sound that dragged every ounce of attention back to the bed instantly.My body reacted before my brain did.I was at his side in a heartbeat.“Hey... hey, easy,” I murmured, hand hovering near his shoulder but not touching yet. Always careful. Always aware of how fragile he still was.Miles moved too, stepping closer from the other side, all traces of challenge gone in an instant.Zane wheezed once, then again, trying to catch his breath.And then, unbelievably he glared at us.Actually glared.Weak. Pale. Half-dead.Still glaring.“It’s… ok

175~ What Changed?

Ronan's Point Of ViewI swore my heart had never taken a hit this hard... not from battle, not from betrayal, not even from the day I realized Zane was my mate.But this?This was cruelty.Pure cruelty.And the worst part?I was losing.I, an Alpha who had faced rogue packs, blood feuds, and assassination attempts, was currently losing a domestic argument in a hospital room.I actually found myself bending... no, nearly kneeling, hands hovering uselessly in the air like a man begging the gods for mercy.“But I did nothing!” I protested, fully aware of how tragic I sounded and absolutely refusing to care. “It was Miles. He started it.”The room went quiet, and then Zane’s gaze slowly shifted away from me. The moment his eyes left mine, dread crawled up my spine.Oh, no.No, no, no. That was not the direction this was supposed to go.Don’t look at him.Don’t look at that snake.But of course, fate hated me.Zane turned his head toward the other side of the bed, eyes narrowing slightly a

176~ Thank You, Ronan

Ronan's Point Of View Miles didn’t hesitate.For once in his stubborn, infuriating life, he didn’t argue, didn’t smirk, didn’t lace his response with sarcasm.He just looked at me for a long second... something unreadable passing through his eyes, and then he nodded.A small movement.But it carried weight.Agreement.Understanding.Maybe even acknowledgment, and that alone shifted something in the room.Before I could overthink it, before I could analyze what that silent exchange truly meant, I heard it.Soft.Weak.But it cut through everything.“Ronan.”My name.Fragile in a way that made something inside my chest twist violently.I turned instantly.And that was when I saw it.The tears.They gathered slowly in his eyes, shimmering under the light filtering through the windows, clinging stubbornly to his lashes like they didn’t want to let go.My chest tightened so violently it felt like something inside me had cracked open.Alarm shot through me before logic could follow, and I

177~ I Know You Like Zane

Ronan's Point Of View “I thought…” His voice cracked. “I thought I was going to die.” The confession pierced straight through me. I tightened my hold instinctively, pressing a kiss to the top of his head, slow and careful. “You don’t get to die,” I said, and though my tone carried a hint of teasing authority, there was a tremor beneath it that betrayed the fear still clawing inside me. “Not without my permission.” A weak huff of laughter escaped him. And hearing that small sound... fragile but real, felt like sunlight breaking through a storm. Miles shifted somewhere behind me, and though I didn’t look at him, I felt his presence soften too. The tension in the room wasn’t sharp anymore. It was full. Heavy with relief. Heavy with everything we almost lost. I brushed my hand gently through Zane’s hair, smoothing it back from his forehead, careful not to press too hard against his skin. “You scared me,” I admitted quietly. His fingers tightened in my shirt.

178~ I Won't Be Long

Ronan's Point Of ViewMiles tilted his head slightly, the faintest smile tugging at his lips, eyes glinting with a mix of mischief and acknowledgment that only fueled my irritation. “I understand,” he said finally, voice smooth, measured, but carrying that effortless confidence that always made my wolf bristle. “And I’m glad to know you’re not against it.”I froze for a heartbeat, my jaw tightening. Against it? Against what? Against him? Against Zane? I narrowed my eyes, stepping closer instinctively, muscles coiled, and felt the familiar fire of possessiveness tighten in my chest. Miles didn’t flinch. He simply held my gaze, unbothered, as if daring me to make a move.Then he straightened, lifting a hand in a casual wave. “I’ll have to go,” he said lightly, the casualness driving my irritation higher, “take care of our baby.”I blinked. Our… baby? My chest clenched, a mixture of protectiveness and something sharp and raw, something I couldn’t name, but it was all about Zane. I raised

179~ How Are You Enjoying Your Stay Here?

The silence in the infirmary held for a few seconds after I spoke, thick and unmoving, the kind that presses against your ears until you start noticing every small sound in the room. Zane didn’t stir. His breathing stayed slow and even, the healer’s potion doing its work, keeping him under long enough for his body to recover.Good.He needed the rest.I remained beside the bed longer than I intended, watching the steady rise and fall of his chest, committing the sight to memory the way my instincts demanded. Every part of me was still alert despite the quiet room, my senses stretched thin in case anything shifted, any change in his breathing, any movement that suggested pain returning.Nothing.Just the faint rustle of the infirmary curtains swaying from the cracked window and the distant sounds of the Academy grounds far outside the stone walls.My hand moved slowly over the blanket near his shoulder, adjusting the edge where it had slipped slightly during his sleep. His fingers twit

180~ Is Your Life Worth It?

Ronan's Point Of ViewI stepped fully into the cell and let the door close behind me with a heavy metallic slam that echoed along the stone corridor outside. The sound carried through the dungeon like a warning before the silence swallowed it again. The air down here felt damp and cold against my skin, thick with the smell of old stone, rust, and mold that clung to the walls.Celia sat in the center of the room exactly where I had ordered them to leave her.A heavy wooden chair bolted to the floor held her in place, thick silver chains wrapped tightly around her wrists, chest, and ankles. The metal had already done its work. Where it pressed into her skin the flesh had blistered and split, thin lines of blood marking where the silver burned through the strength of her wolf and forced it into submission.Her hair hung loose and tangled over her shoulders. Bruises darkened the side of her face and the corner of her lip where she must have struggled earlier.The moment the light flared o
