Divided Loyalties

**Kieran's POV**The pack was fracturing.I could feel it. Sense it. The division spreads like rot through wood.Jackson stood in my office. Arms crossed. Expression grim. "We need to talk about the situation.""Which situation?" I asked. Though I knew."Thessara," he said. "The pack is losing faith. In her. In you. In this whole arrangement."My wolf snarled. Defensive. Territorial. "Explain.""They don't trust her," Jackson said bluntly. "She's too human. Too connected to the outside world. Too much of a liability.""She's my mate," I said. Cold. Final. "That makes her pack. End of discussion.""Is it though?" Jackson pressed. "Because half the pack thinks you're thinking with your wolf. Not your head. That you're putting her above everyone's safety."The words stung. Because part of me wondered if he was right."What do you suggest?" I asked. Trying to stay calm. Rational."A safe house," Jackson said. "Away from pack lands. Somewhere she can adjust without the pressure. Without th

The Warning

SIMON'S POV"You really think she wants you?"I spun around so fast my keys went flying. They clattered across the asphalt, loud in the empty parking lot.A man stood by my car. Tall. Dark hair. The kind of face that probably made women stupid. He wasn't smiling."Jesus Christ." My heart was trying to punch through my ribs. "Can I help you?""I'm Kieran." He said it like I should know. Like the name alone explained why he was lurking in a dark parking lot at eleven PM. "And no. You can't help me. But I can help you."Oh. *Oh.* This was him. Thessara's... what? Boyfriend? Ex? The guy she wouldn't talk about but also couldn't seem to stop mentioning?"Look, man, I don't know what you think is going on, but—""Thessara is mine." He cut me off. Just like that. Flat. "Stay away from her."The anger surprised me. It bubbled up hot and fast. "Does she know you're here? Threatening her friends?""I'm not threatening you. Yet." He moved closer. Didn't walk exactly—more like he just appeared cl

The unexpected visit

THESSARA'S POVI shouldn't be doing this.The thought repeated itself as I slipped out the back door of the pack house, keeping to the shadows. Kieran would smell me leaving. He always did. But maybe tonight he'd let me go. Maybe tonight he'd understand I needed to do this one last time.End things properly. Give Simon closure. Give myself closure.The city lights blurred past as I drove. My hands gripped the steering wheel too tight. This was the right thing to do. It had to be. Simon deserved better than wondering why I'd ghosted him. Better than Kieran showing up in parking lots like some jealous—I stopped that thought before it could finish.The hospital rooftop. Our spot. Where we'd first really talked after I'd shown up at his clinic that night, desperate and scared and looking for someone who wouldn't ask questions. He'd found me up here later, brought me coffee, and just... listened.Back when things were simpler. Back when I was still pretending I was human.The metal door c

Rescue Mission

KIERAN'S POVSomething ripped through my chest.Not pain. Worse. Fear that wasn't mine. Terror bleeding through the bond like ice water in my veins.Thessara.I was out of my chair before the papers on my desk hit the floor. Marcus looked up from across the office."What—""It's Thessara." I was already moving. "She's in danger."I didn't wait for questions. Didn't explain. The bond was screaming and I was done ignoring it.My phone was in my hand. "Pack emergency. Downtown hospital. Now." I hung up before anyone could respond. They'd come. They always did.The drive took eight minutes. It felt like eight hours. Every second the bond pulled tighter, her fear spiking and dropping and spiking again. She was fighting something. Fighting hard.Then I smelled it.Even before I saw the hospital, even with the windows up, the stench hit me. Sulfur. Rot. The sick-sweet smell of demon magic."No." The word came out as a growl.I slammed the gas pedal. The car screeched around the corner and th

Into the Wolf’s Den

SIMON'S POVThey were everywhere.That was my first coherent thought as Kieran led us through the massive wooden doors. Werewolves. Dozens of them. Standing in the entrance hall, leaning against walls, watching from the second-floor balcony.All of them were staring at me.My legs wanted to run. My brain was screaming that I was surrounded by predators. But Thessara's hand found mine and squeezed, and somehow that kept me moving forward."This is the pack house," Kieran said. Like that explained anything. "You'll be safe here."Safe. Right. Safe surrounded by people who could turn into wolves and rip me apart.A woman approached. Tall, dark hair pulled back, eyes that assessed me like I was a science experiment. "You must be Simon." Her voice was warm but her smile didn't reach her eyes. "I'm Mara. Pack healer. Let me look at those injuries.""I'm fine—""You're bleeding through your shirt." She gestured to a room off the main hall. "Come on."I looked at Thessara. She nodded. "It's

Breaking Point

KIERAN'S POVThe shift ripped through me before I could stop it.Bones cracked and reformed, skin erupted into silver-black fur, and the beast surged forward with a rage I'd kept leashed for too long. The conference room—my carefully controlled domain—shattered around me as I crashed through the window, glass exploding into the night like scattered stars.*She kissed him.*The thought burned hotter than the shift itself. I hit the ground running, paws tearing into earth, lungs gulping down air that tasted of pine and freedom and betrayal. The woods called to me, ancient and understanding, and I answered with every fiber of my being.Behind me, I heard them shifting—Marcus, Elena, the others. My inner circle, loyal to a fault, chasing their Alpha into the darkness. But I was faster, driven by something more primal than duty or loyalty.I was driven by pain.Trees blurred past. Miles disappeared beneath my paws. The wolf wanted to run until the memory of her lips on his dissolved, until

Consequences

THESSARA'S POVI found him in the armory.Not the polished conference rooms where he usually commanded his pack, but in the basement—a stark, concrete space that smelled of gun oil and old leather. Kieran stood with his back to me, methodically checking weapons with the kind of focused intensity that made my chest tighten. He knew I was there. Of course he knew. But he didn't turn around."Kieran." My voice came out smaller than I intended.His shoulders tensed, just barely. "You should go back upstairs, Thessara."The coldness in his tone was worse than anger would have been. This was the voice he used with strangers, with enemies. Not with me. Never with me.I stepped closer, my hands trembling. "I need to talk to you about what happened. About Simon. I—""There's nothing to talk about." He slid a knife into a sheath at his hip, movements precise and controlled. "You made your choice.""That's not fair. I didn't choose anything. I was confused and overwhelmed, and he was there, and

Brother’s Betrayal

- KIERAN'S POVThe abandoned warehouse sat at Maplewood's edge like a rotting tooth—all rusted metal and broken windows, forgotten by time and avoided by locals who claimed it was haunted. Looking at it now, bathed in moonlight that made the shadows seem alive, I thought maybe they were right."This is a terrible idea," Thessara whispered beside me."Worst I've had in weeks," I agreed, scanning the perimeter. My pack was out there, hidden in the darkness, waiting for my signal. Not close enough to prevent an ambush, but close enough to matter if things went completely sideways. "Stay behind me. No matter what happens."She nodded, but I could feel her fear through the bond—sharp and acidic, mixing with my own dread in a way that made my wolf pace restlessly beneath my skin.We approached the entrance, a massive sliding door that hung askew on broken hinges. The smell hit me first: decay and copper, mixed with something else. Something is wrong. Magic, but not the kind I knew. This was

The Ritual Begins

THESSARA'S POVThe pack house felt different when we stumbled through its doors—smaller somehow, more fragile. Like returning to a childhood home and realizing it was never as big or safe as memory had promised.Kieran's pack surrounded us immediately, wolves checking injuries, asking questions in rapid-fire succession. But their Alpha remained silent, his jaw tight as Mara cleaned the claw marks across his shoulders. He stared at nothing, eyes distant, and I knew exactly where his mind had gone.Back to that warehouse. Back to the moment his brother had outmaneuvered him. Back to my blood glowing silver in that vial."Emergency meeting," Mara announced, her voice cutting through the chaos. "War room. Now."We gathered around the massive oak table, and I'd never felt more out of place. These were warriors, strategists, people who'd trained their entire lives for moments like this. What was I? A veterinarian who could barely throw a punch, whose only contribution to this disaster was b

The Detective’s Arrival

THESSARA'S POV"Good boy, Atlas. Just hold still for me."The golden retriever wagged his tail, trusting despite the examination. I pressed my stethoscope to his chest, counting heartbeats, trying to focus on the rhythm instead of the chaos in my mind.The phone buzzed in my pocket. Ignored it. Atlas needed attention.It buzzed again. Persistent."Sorry, buddy." Pulled it out. Unknown number. Local area code.Answered. "Dr. Thessara Hart.""Dr. Hart, this is Maplewood General Hospital. We're calling regarding Claire Morrison." Professional voice. Clinical. "She's regained consciousness."The stethoscope slipped from my fingers. Clattered on the metal exam table. Atlas whined."When?""This morning. About an hour ago. She's asked for you specifically."My throat went dry. "I'll be right there."Finished with Atlas quickly. Hands shaking. Made excuses to my assistant about a family emergency.Drove to the hospital. Mind racing. Three weeks. Claire had been in a coma for three weeks sin
