Hate

Back at the Imperial Hotel, celebration filled the suite reserved for the Blood-Rose Pack.Edgar had already poured the drinks, the low clink of crystal echoing softly as Leonidas stood near the window with Kylie."I don't know what happened back there but I'm glad you were worthy to make me eligible for the second selection. I owe it to you, Kylie."Kylie smiled back at him. "I hope the second selection won't be as difficult. There's still so much to do.""Well, until then, let's celebrate you," Leonidias said, lifting his drink to the air. "I want to make a toast to you."Doris had been lingering near the doorway and watching them for a long while. She suddenly interrupted him.“I’ll excuse myself for a moment,” she said lightly, setting her untouched glass on a side table.Leonidas turned at once. “Where are you going?” the warmth in his eyes cooled to concern. “Stay. Join us.”Doris shook her head gently, already taking a step back. “Not yet. I think I’ll go get some fresh air. Un

The Blood-Rose Pack secret

Doris stared straight ahead, her gaze fixed on the concrete pillar beyond the windshield, but she wasn’t seeing it. All she saw was Leonidas and Kylie. She saw a future where she remained forever in the shadows, serving the omega who had stolen her rightful place at his side.The silence stretched for a long time as the treason building up in her mind took shape. Finally, she spoke. “What do you want to know?”Gunner’s smirk widened into a wolfish grin. “Everything. Start with Leonidas and Kylie. How did it happen? What’s the real bond between them? What are his routines with her, his weaknesses where she’s concerned? I need to know how to pull her out from under him.”Doris hesitated.She inhaled slowly, then turned to face him fully.. “Before I say a single word, you will swear it on your pack. You will keep your end of this deal. You will not betray me, and you will not double-cross me once you have her. I want your word, Alpha Gunner.”Gunner arched a brow. “You don’t get to mak

Nightmare

KYLIE’S POVI was running.Cold air burned my lungs as my feet hit wet grass, the ground slick beneath me. A red sky stretched endlessly overhead, clouds churning like something alive. I didn’t know where I was going—only that I had to keep moving.Then I heard laughter.I froze.It was soft and childish. I turned toward the sound, and the world shifted.I was no longer running.I was standing at the edge of a wide clearing bathed in pale moonlight. The grass was tall here, silvered at the tips, swaying even though there was no wind. At the center of it stood a boy.Leonidas.Not the man I knew, but the younger version of him. He was barefooted, his dark hair falling into his eyes. His smile was unguarded and innocent in a way that made my chest ache.He was laughing playfully without a care in the world. In front of him was a girl.She was about his age. Unlike Leonidias, I couldn't make out her face. Her face was blurred as if my mind couldn’t hold onto her features. They were pl

Trance

KYLIE’S POV:Leonidas was quiet for a long time.So quiet that I wondered if I had pushed too far—if I had crossed a line he had spent his entire life guarding. His gaze dropped to the floor, his hands clasped loosely together, knuckles pale with restraint.“When you ask me to tell you everything,” he said finally, his voice roughened by memory, “you’re asking for a truth even I don’t fully understand.”I didn’t interrupt him.“Long ago,” he continued, “the Blood-Rose Pack was one of the strongest packs in the Republic. We were feared and respected. Our lands were fertile. Our warriors were many. More than three hundred members carried our mark.”His jaw tightened. “But generation after generation, we began to shrink. Wolves left. Others died in ways no one could explain. Accidents. Sudden illness. Madness.” He shook his head slightly. “At the time, no one connected it to anything specific. They thought it was fate. Or weakness.”He looked up at me then, his eyes dark with something

Consequences

KYLIE’S POVThe trance swallowed me whole.One moment, I was pressed against Leonidas, his pulse hammering beneath my palms. Next, the hotel room dissolved like morning frost, and I was standing alone in silence.I turned slowly, my breath catching in my throat.I was standing in the middle of an abandoned town.Houses lined both sides of a cracked, weed-choked road, their windows hollow and staring like empty eye sockets. Roofs had collapsed inward. Doors hung from single hinges, groaning softly in a wind I couldn't feel. Faded curtains, grey with decades of dust, twitched in abandoned windows.It felt like a place that had been left behind twenty years ago.My boots scraped against gravel as I began to walk. Every step echoed too loudly in my ears.There were rusted bicycles half-buried in dirt. A child’s ball deflated and wedged against a porch. Curtains rotted into the lace behind cracked glass.No one had been here for a very long time.I kept walking until the road widened into

Clues

I took a breath, gathering the fragments of the vision still burning behind my eyes."I had an idea," I said slowly, "that touching you, intentionally, might trigger these trances. Not just random nightmares, but actual visions. Clues." Edgar’s eyes sharpened immediately.Leonidas went rigid. “Kylie, that's just—”"Listen to me,” I insisted gently. “Every time I’ve gone into one of those visions, it’s been after physical contact. The first time was when you marked me. Just now, it happened the moment our foreheads touched.”I looked at my hands, then back at him. "The dungeon. The town. They're not random. They're connected to your curse. And I think the bond is showing me what you can't see."Edgar leaned forward slightly. “You’re suggesting the curse reacts to intimacy.”“I’m suggesting,” I said carefully, “that it reveals something through it.”That made them both go quiet.Edgar spoke first, his voice thoughtful. “What did it reveal?”I turned to face him. "An abandoned town," I

A Trap

Doris had heard everything—every word about the statue, the curse, the plan to send Kylie to the abandoned territory. And in that moment, she realized the universe had just handed her exactly what she needed.A chance to get rid of Kylie. Permanently.This was perfect. An abandoned territory with no witnesses in sight to protect Kylie. If Kylie were to die on that land, no one would question it.After all, the curse was unpredictableLeonidas turned to face her, his brow furrowed. "Doris, this isn't your fight. You don't have to—""I want to," she interrupted smoothly, pushing off the doorframe and stepping into the room. "I've served the Blood-Rose Pack my entire life. If there's a chance to break the curse that's haunted you since birth, I won't sit idle." She paused, turning to face Kylie. "And Kylie will need someone who knows the old territories. I've studied the maps. I know the terrain."Leonidas’s eyes narrowed. “And you expect me to trust you with her life?”Doris held his

The abandoned territory

Dawn came too quickly.I barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw that seepage beneath the statue, bleeding with black tendrils reached toward me.Whatever was down there, haunted my thoughts so much that I stayed awake. But even while awake, my mind still wasn't at rest. It kept returning to Doris. Something about the way she had volunteered the night before sat strangely in my chest. It was as if my instincts were yelling at me not to go with her. It was like a huge red flag I should've taken into consideration.Still, when she knocked on my door just after sunrise, I totally ignored the red flag. “Ready?” she asked.I grabbed my bag and opened the door. She stood there in traveling clothes, her hair pulled back, her grey eyes scanning me with what looked like concern."You didn't sleep," she observed."Neither did you," I countered.She smiled faintly. "Someone has to make sure we don't drive off a cliff."I appreciated the attempt at humor, even if it didn't quite reac

Ambush

Kylie's POV:We finally stepped fully into the town. Up close, the ruins were worse than they had looked from the tree line. Storefront windows were shattered inward, glass long since dulled by dust. Doors hung off rusted hinges. A child’s bicycle lay on its side in the middle of the road, one wheel bent, chain snapped.It felt as though everyone had ran and never came back.The deeper we went, the stronger the pressure of the curse became. It pressed against my chest like a physical blow. My lungs struggled to draw full breaths.The statue of Aldric towered ahead, cracked but still standing, vines curling around its stone legs like restraints."It's getting worse," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "The curse. I can feel it down there. Beneath the statue. It's like it knows we're here."Doris didn't respond immediately. She was scanning the tree line behind us, her posture rigid.“I don’t feel anything,” she said evenly.I stopped a few yards from the statue.“It’s under us,”

The phone call

THIRD POV:Doris ran.Her boots pounded against the cracked earth, branches whipping at her arms and face as she tore through the undergrowth. She didn't look back. She couldn't. If she looks back, she semight seee those cold, pale eyes watching her flee."What was that?!" Her mind raced as fast as her feet. "Who were those guys? This wasn't supposed to end like this!"She ducked under a low branch, vaulted over a fallen log, her lungs still burning."Gunner said he'd be here," she gasped for air. "He promised he'd be waiting. So where was he?"The tree line finally broke. The SUV sat where they'd left it, dark and silent in the grey afternoon light. Doris stumbled toward it, gasping, her side screaming with a stitch.She yanked open the driver's door and reached for the center console. Her phone sat on the passenger seat.She had left it deliberately so Leonidas couldn't track her, couldn't call, couldn't interfere with her plan.The screen was lit, buzzing violently against the lea
