Chapter 21

ElaraThe forest is silent now, but the silence feels wrong.It’s heavy, oppressive, thick with the metallic tang of blood. My boots crunch over fallen leaves as we walk, and each step feels like I’m sinking deeper into a dream I can’t wake from. Or maybe a nightmare.Kael hasn’t spoken since the fight. Not a single word.He walks ahead of me, a dark shadow cutting through the pale morning light. His shoulders are tense, his massive frame radiating barely contained fury. Not at me—I think—but at the rogues we left behind, at Garrick, at himself. Maybe at all of it.I don’t know what to say to him.I keep my distance, though every instinct screams to move closer. My body remembers the moment he shifted—how he’d placed himself between me and danger without hesitation. The way he’d fought like a storm unleashed, savage and beautiful and terrifying all at once.And when it was over…When he turned to me, his chest heaving, golden eyes burning, blood dripping from his claws—I hadn’t been

Chapter 22

KaelI taste her on my lips long after we return to the stronghold.Her scent clings to me, sweet and wild, a constant torment. Every step I take, every breath I draw, is filled with the memory of her soft gasp, the way her body melted against mine, the fire that roared between us when I finally gave in.And I hate it.I hate myself for losing control.That kiss was a mistake. A dangerous, reckless mistake that could cost us both everything.I should have never touched her.I knew the rules from the start.She is here to breed, nothing more.⸻When Garrick offered her in trade, I hadn’t cared about the girl’s name, her face, her past. She was a tool. A body to carry my heir. The only chance to secure my pack’s future before my curse rotted me from the inside out.Ironhide needs an heir to remain stable. Without one, my death would splinter the pack and invite our enemies to tear us apart.I couldn’t risk mating a true mate. Not when every woman I’ve ever loved has been destroyed by my

Chapter 23

ElaraThe morning light creeping through the narrow window is pale and cold, casting my chamber in shades of gray.I haven’t slept. Not really.Every time I close my eyes, I see Kael’s face as he turned away from me—hard, unyielding, shutting me out completely. The slam of the door echoes in my skull, louder than my heartbeat.I spent the night pacing like a caged animal, too hurt to cry, too angry to rest. By dawn, I’m hollow inside. Empty.A soft knock breaks the silence.“Elara?” Leira’s voice filters through the wood, cautious. “May I come in?”I hesitate, then whisper, “Yes.”The door opens, and she slips inside, carrying a folded bundle of clean linens. She studies me for a long moment, taking in my rumpled dress, my tangled hair, the exhaustion etched into my face.“You need air,” she says simply. “And a task.”I shake my head. “I’m not—”“No arguments.” Her tone sharpens slightly, though her eyes are kind. “The healer’s wing is running low on supplies after the battle. These n

Chapter 24

KaelThe door slammed behind me, rattling the frame.For a moment, I stood in the hall, fists clenched, chest heaving, staring at the heavy wood as if I could force it to open with sheer will. As if I could undo the last five minutes—the broken look on Elara’s face, the venom in her voice when she’d said she hated me.Her words still sliced through me like a blade.“You don’t care about me. You care about what I can give you.”Gods help me, she wasn’t wrong. Not completely.I’d taken her to fulfill a duty, to secure an heir and stabilize my line before my enemies smelled weakness. That was the plan. Clean. Simple. Necessary.And then she had looked at me with those defiant, tear-streaked eyes, and nothing had been simple since.I wanted her in ways I had no right to. Wanted her laugh, her spirit, her warmth—all things my curse would inevitably destroy if I let them too close.Better she hate me now than die in my arms later.I told myself that as I turned away, but the lie burned goin

Chapter 25

ElaraThe first thing I notice is the smell.Damp earth. Rotting wood. Blood.It hits me all at once, sharp and suffocating, dragging me from a fog of half-consciousness into a world I desperately wish wasn’t real. My head throbs in time with my heartbeat, every pulse sending a spear of pain through my skull.I try to move, but my arms won’t cooperate. Panic surges, clearing some of the haze. My wrists are bound, coarse rope biting into raw skin. My ankles too.I’m lying on a hard, cold surface—stone, maybe.Slowly, memory creeps back, jagged and disjointed.The healer’s wing.The voices whispering about Kael.My anger, my heartbreak, the confrontation in my chamber.Then… chaos.The door bursting open. Rough hands grabbing me.A sharp, metallic taste in my mouth before everything went black.My stomach twists violently. Rogues. They took me.Which means… I’m not in Kael’s stronghold anymore.I’m in enemy territory.My breath comes in ragged gasps as I force my eyes open. The dim ligh

Chapter 26

KaelThe scent of her blood haunted me.It clung to my hands, burned the back of my throat, and coiled in my lungs like smoke. A faint trail, just enough to know she’d been hurt, but not enough to tell me how badly.Gods, if Garrick laid a single hand on her…My wolf roared, shredding the last fragile threads of my control. I slammed my fist into the stone wall, hard enough to leave a crater. The warriors in the hall flinched back, wisely staying silent.“Elara.” Her name ripped from my throat, a promise and a curse.Somewhere out there, she was alone, terrified, bound by Garrick’s filth. And it was my fault.I’d been so consumed with pushing her away, with my cursed need to keep her at a distance, that I hadn’t seen this coming. If I’d been watching more closely, if I hadn’t let her walk the halls unguarded after our fight, she would still be here. Safe.Mine.No more hesitation. No more restraint.Garrick had crossed the line, and I would burn the world to bring her back.⸻“Report!

Chapter 27

ElaraThe first thing I feel is cold.It sinks into my skin, sharp and unrelenting, like the chill of death itself. I’m lying on rough stone, my body aching, my head pounding as if it’s been split open. When I try to move, there’s a harsh rattle of chains, iron biting into my wrists and ankles.Panic slams into me.Where—where am I?The last thing I remember is walking down the corridor of Kael’s stronghold, the scent of herbs still clinging to my hands after delivering supplies to the healers. Voices, low and sharp, had drifted to me from around a corner—whispers questioning why Garrick would hand me over to Kael if war was brewing between their packs.Then—hands grabbing me.A cloth pressed over my mouth.The bitter taste of something chemical and dark.Blackness.My breath catches in my throat as the truth slices through my fogged thoughts.I’ve been taken.⸻A slow clap echoes through the room, mocking and cruel.“Well, well. The little gift finally wakes up.”My blood runs cold.

Chapter 28

KaelThe scent of Elara’s terror was like a blade to my throat.I tore through the dark stone corridors, my claws scraping grooves into the floor as I fought the urge to shift too soon. My warriors were behind me, but their presence barely registered. All I could hear was her ragged breathing echoing ahead — and Garrick’s laugh, low and taunting, carrying through the stronghold like smoke.My wolf snarled inside me, clawing to be let free. Faster. Stronger. NOW.The door at the end of the hall slammed shut.I didn’t slow. I didn’t think. I let my wolf take over.Bones cracked and shifted, fur bursting from my skin as my form expanded, my senses sharpening until the world snapped into crystalline clarity. I hit the door with my full weight, and it didn’t just break — it exploded outward in a rain of splinters and iron.I landed on four massive paws, my wolf’s chest heaving, my teeth bared in a silent snarl. The room stank of blood, chains, and Elara’s fear.And there she was.Chained t

Chapter 29

ElaraI woke to the sound of my own ragged breathing.For a moment, I didn’t remember where I was. The room was warm, lit by the faint glow of dawn streaming through heavy curtains. The sheets beneath me were soft — too soft — and they smelled like smoke, pine, and something deeper, something distinctly him.Kael.Memories crashed back in a violent rush — the chains, Garrick’s sneer, the way Kael had burst into the chamber like a storm given flesh. His wolf form had been… terrifying and breathtaking all at once. Massive, powerful, his coat a silvery-gray that shimmered under the torchlight.And then he’d let me climb onto his back.Even now, I could still feel the heat of his fur beneath my fingers, the steady rhythm of his muscles as we’d raced through the night. I’d been terrified at first, but somewhere between the pounding of his paws and the rush of wind, something inside me had shifted.I hadn’t been afraid of him. Not really.The thought unsettled me.My fingers curled into the

Chapter 30

KaelThe room still smelled like her.Even after I’d left her chambers hours ago, the scent clung to me — faint, sweet, maddening. I scrubbed a hand over my face, forcing myself to focus on the maps spread across the war table. Garrick’s treachery was an open wound bleeding across my territory, and every second I wasted thinking about Elara only gave him more time to plan his next move.But damn it, I couldn’t get her out of my head.I’d told myself it was strategy, nothing more. She was mine by right of the bargain, a symbol of my power over the Bloodfang Pack. When Garrick had taken her, it wasn’t just a challenge to me personally — it was a declaration of war.That’s what I told my warriors. That’s what I told her.It wasn’t the whole truth.Because when I’d burst into that chamber and seen her chained to the wall, her wide, terrified eyes locking on mine, something inside me had… snapped.My wolf had risen with a ferocity I hadn’t felt in years, so raw and violent that for a terri
