Harvest

KAELLyria didn't bother knocking.My office door swung open with a soft thud against the wall, letting the sunlight spill in through the hall behind her. She walked in like she owned the damn place, chin up, hair gleaming, and thay smile... the one that always made my temples start to ache... stretched wide across her face.Why was she so happy?"Hey, Kael," she practically sang, stepping right up to my desk. "I come baring gifts"Gifts?From Lyria? I knew it couldn't be anything other than some news, or gossip, or maybe even a dagger she had hidden somewhere because there was nothing worth celebrating come up.I looked up from the book in front of me, brows lifted. "What are you doing here?""Business." She dropped a thick envelope on the table in front of me, then pulled another, rather smaller one from her own pocket. "That one's yours, and this is mine."What was this?I stared at the envelope like it was about to develop two legs and run out. "What is this?"“Just open it.”Her

Arguments

RIVERI slammed the door behind me without a care, letting it echo faintly through the apartment. I kicked off his boots, rubbing at the back of my neck, too tired to even care where they landed.I was fucking exhausted. And Kael was standing in the middle of my living room, with his arms folded, jaws tight, and eyes darker than the storm clouds that had gathered earlier this evening.He hadn't even bothered to take off his jacket.My heart, the threaterous little thing, gave a small, involuntary jolt before I smothered the reaction beneath irritation."Why the fuck are you here at this time?" I asked, keeping my voice flat. "It's late, and you don't usually come here this late so what is up?"Kael didn’t answer that.Instead, his gaze sharpened. “Why did you come home so late?”I blinked. "Seriously?"I brushed past him, ignoring the whole Alpha’s heavy presence that followed ne like a second skin. In the kitchen, I poured myself a cup of water, letting the sound of the faucet filli

Why didn't he just come to me?

RIVERSo Kael remained mad at me.We had just arrived at the Silverridge pack after what felt like a whole day's journey but was just half a day. Torture. I could not wait to be as far away from him and his gloomy moods as possible.Even the gammas who had come with us had noticed the storm clouds sitting permanently over his head. They kept their distance, offering him short, clipped responses whenever he spoke, as though they were afraid that his temper might snap at any second.Why was he even mad?I was here, wasn't I? I had followed his order to the end and came with their party of four, didn't I? What gave Kael the audacity the remain mad at me after what he did?Hypocrite.Lyria, of course, wasn’t that smart.She clung to him the entire way... all soft laughter and touches that made my skin crawl. Every chance she got, she would slide her hand along his arm, of tiptoe to press a kiss against his jaw, like she owned the man."Here you go, Kael." She had said at one point, raisi

Future Luna

KAEL"She couldn't believe it..."The music here was played in a soft, and rather elegant way... the kind that made people forget they were surrounded by the apex predators in their packs.I stood near the edge of the hall, a glass of amber liquid in my hand, as I pretended to listen to the group of Alphas debated about their border security and the recent marriage activities in the area.The Silverridge pack knew how to throw a party... chandeliers hung from their vaulted ceilings, candles flickered in tall glass cylinders, and the scent of honeyed wine and polished wood clung to the air.Laughter rippled across the room, mingling with the sound of clinking glasses and their flirtatious whispers.I hated every second of it."... one would never believe.""... it truly doesn't matter..."Rogue problems, resource shortages, alliances... this was the kind of talk I preferred. Not this. Not pretending to be cordial with people who would gladly stab me in the back if they knew it would gi

Fight

KAEL"Alpha Kael," One of the Alphas said, laughter rumbling through his chest as he ran his eyes shamelessly over Lyria. "If the Moon Goddess ever decides to make mistakes and turn me to a different man, I pray she turns me to you. Tell me, Lady..." "Lyria.""Lyria," he said rather wistfully. "A beautiful name for a beautiful woman. Would you rather marry me instead?"A round of laughter followed the request, very loud and rather annoying. The men all raised their glasses, their teasing barely masked by their polite smiles. Only the young Alpha, the one who had spoken of my mate, remained silent, those eyes of his as sharp as a knife and fixed on me in ways I did not want.Almost like he was trying to read me or something equally stupid.I offered the others a thin smile. My wolf bristled under the surface.We did not need this.Lyria, of course, basked in the attention she got from the Alphas. Her laughter cane easily here, even with her hand still looped possessively around my arm

Never ever

KAELThe room was a fucking mess when I stepped forward, glass crunching under my boots. The crowd had begun to disperse, though not as far as I would have liked.Their whispers hummed through the air."Blackthorn wolf.""An omega!""Savage, all of them."I kept my jaw locked.At this point, I didn't hear any of it... all I saw was River, chest rising, eyes still burning violet, as he struggled against the two guards trying to hold him down. The other man was barely standing, a swollen mess of blood and bruises.I was already halfway to them when a deep voice thundered from somewhere in the crowd."Spectacular!"All the murmuring stopped immediately when Drayven stepped away from the crowd and into the little circle the people had made surrounding River and the other guy. Drayven’s coat was half undone, like someone who had come straight from a room or whatever the moment he heard the commotion. There were two other men behind him."What the fuck was going on here?" Drayven demanded,

Rabid

RIVERThe scent of herbs and dried blood hung thick in Zach's little infirmary that had turned into a small training room now. The air stung my nose... too sharp, too full of everything I didn't want to think about at all.Which was fine.I wasn't here to think. I was here to work. And mindless working was what I excelled in the most.I pressed my palms down on one of Kael’s men chest, the man's shallow breaths filling the quiet between Zach's movements. My own power hummed at my fingertips, heat sparking under my skin until it settled into something way gentler... light, healing, and warmth. The deep gash in the man's abdomen sealed slowly, leaving behind only clean, pink flesh.“Good,” Zach murmured from behind me. “Next.”"What if we hadn't come on time? What if they had died before we arrived?" I asked Zach, not bothering to look up as I simply moved to the next cot. My hands were steady even though my thoughts were not.It was easier this way.Way easier to keep busy than sit alo

Get out

RIVERThere was someone in his house.Again.I froze just as I reached for the light switch, my senses and whole body catching the familiar scent before the blub even flickered on. There was no reason for me to guess who it was because who else would enter my apartment without an invitation and stay in the dark like some sort of madman?If anyone guessed Kael, they were absolutely correct.He was also a madman. Not some sort."Fucking hell," I cussed under my breath. "I really need to do something and change these damn locks."His voice came from the living room, deeper than usual. "What is that supposed to mean, River?"I didn't turn to him immediately. I closed the door behind me, tossed my keys on the counter, and said, "It means whatever you think it means, Alpha."Kael was standing near the window, though no one would see him because of the position he kept himself, one hand tucked into his pocket. His other hand held a glass of something dark.That wasn't mine. I didn't have any

Red and Darkness

KAELRed.That was all I could see.It colored the roads I walked, the hallways in the den, the walls, even the very air that clawed its way through my airway and to my lungs. My heart thundered in my ears, sharp and loud enough that it seemed to drown everything else.River had rejected me.It wasn't a normal rejection in the sense that he was supposed to say he rejected me, but the sense of rejection was there all the same. He had told me to go away in a way he hadn't done before.That was unheard of.Anger tasted metallic on my tongue. Like blood. It had this familiar, dangerous thing that simmered right below the surface, begging to be unleashed.How dare River?How fucking dare River tell me, an Alpha, to get out of his house?I was the one who been disrespected, yet River had dared look me straight in the eyes... those fucking damn purple eyes that still made me weak every damn time... and spat out those words like we didn't have a bond tying us together.Like he wasn't mine.Fi

Peace

RIVER"Asshole Alpha."The bottle hit the table with a dull thud, the sound sharp in the silence of my kitchen. A few of the drops spilled over my fingers, before sliding down to the wood.I stared at them for a long time... long enough that they blurred into one shimmering trail.Then I laughed.It wasn't like how I normally laughed. This one was low, and cracked, the kind of laughter that scraped the back of the throat."Fuck," I muttered, tipping the bottle again, watching the liquor swirl into my glass. "Fuck this. Fuck him. And fuck... everything."The glass was half-full when I lifted it to his lips.No... half empty.I liked the sound of that better. Half-empty, like me.The first burn of the whiskey hit my tongue and spread down my throat, sharp. I winced, then took another sip. Then another.And another.Fuck, I'd stopped counting after the sixth... maybe the seventh glass. Somewhere between the fourth and the fifth, I'd stopped caring entirely.Every single time I closed my
