Her fire

(Kael)I couldn't sleep that night.My mind was like a battlefield for my conflicting thoughts. Eira’s face came first, as it always did when the shadows lingered…..i saw the curve of her smile, the strength of her hand in mine, the way her laugh used to fill these halls. Then came the grave silence, the blood, the betrayal. The night I failed her.I had sworn never again.And yet, the girl’s stubborn face intruded on the memory, dirt plastered across her cheek, her lips parting as she gasped out that single word—“Again.”I clenched my fists so hard on my palm that my claws injured my palm, drawing blood.River’s words haunted me: She does not belong to us.He was right. She was a stranger, a risk, a reminder of everything I had lost. But my wolf did not agree. My wolf had stirred the moment I saw her cross the training field, not giving up despite her weakness. It whispered of bonds, of fate, of second chances I didn’t ask for.It was midnight but I still couldn't sleep.I decided t

The Wolf's Whisper

(Kael)The wolf inside me broke forward, clawing at the edges of my control. Her defiance called to it like blood to flame.I narrowed my eyes, fighting the instinct that demanded I close the space between us. She was too fragile, too untrained. My wolf didn’t care. It saw only strength in her refusal to yield, in the way her scraped hands trembled but did not drop.“You’ll regret those words,” I said coldly, forcing my voice into steel. “Strength isn’t built overnight. It’s earned with pain that never leaves.”Her lips curved into the faintest smile, bitter and stubborn. Like she was mocking me. “Then I’ll pay the price.”The air tightened between us. I could hear her heartbeat. It was too fast, too wild…echoing in my ears. Or maybe it was my own.I should have walked away. That was the smart thing, the Alpha thing. But instead, I reached down and grabbed her wrist, forcing her scraped knuckles open so I could see the raw skin. She flinched, but didn’t pull back.“Fool,” I muttered.

Fractures in Control

(Kael) Sleep refused me again. I kept tossing and turning as images of her kept popping up in my head overshadowing my moments of sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her with those bloodied knuckles, fire in her eyes, that stubborn mouth shaping words that cut deeper than blades. “Maybe you’re the one being tested.” Tested. Haunted. Unraveled. By morning, I had convinced myself that work would drown her out. Reports. Patrol routes. Council meetings. The duties of an Alpha were endless, and usually they swallowed every stray thought. But not today. Even as I signed orders and sent warriors to the borders, her voice threaded through my skull: I won’t break. I had earlier requested the presence of the council so we could discuss what actions to take about the strange girl. Yes, my wolf recognized her as a mate but I had to be loyal to my pack first before my feelings. She arrived at our border with no scent, no memory of her past and no pack had sort out to claim he

Whispers in the Dark.

(Lyra)The pack was quiet, except for the soft chorus of the crickets and the occasional rustle of leaves as a result of the wind blowing harshly on the trees. Outside, rain tapped against the shutters, a steady rhythm that should have been soothing enough for me to fall asleep. My body was beyond spent—every muscle screamed, my arms and legs trembled with each small shift against the thin mattress, and my raw knuckles throbbed painfully with each beat of my pulse.I thought exhaustion would drag me under instantly. I thought sleep would be my reward. But when I closed my eyes, peace never came.The dream swallowed me whole.It started with silence. Too heavy to be natural, the kind that pressed against my chest and made me strain for every breath. The air was thick and filled with the faint metallic scent of blood. I blinked and found myself standing in a forest stripped bare of my clothes, trees clawing at the sky with skeletal branches. The ground beneath my bare feet was cold and

The Restless Bond

(Kael)Sleep never came easily to me. It hadn’t for years after Eira died. I had spent too many nights staring at the ceiling, listening to the echo of Eira’s voice in the empty chambers, replaying the moment I failed her and the moment she went cold in my arms. Most nights I drowned the memories with work, but tonight was different.Tonight, my wolf prowled restlessly. It was pacing inside me as if agitated by something I couldn’t name.I leaned against the window of my chambers, staring down at the rain-washed courtyard. The storm hadn’t let up. Water dropped from the stone gutters, dripping into the soil below, steady and relentless.Still, my wolf wouldn’t settle.Then it hit me. It was sharp and sudden, like a blade sliding beneath my ribs. A spike of fear. Not mine. Not born from my own memories. Something foreign. Something raw. The last time I felt something like this was when Eira was injured on that unfortunate night.Her.I straightened up instantly and gripped the edge of
