CIARA The fire in the master suite bedroom was the only thing moving in the room. I sat on the edge of the mattress, my bare feet digging into the heavy wolf-fur rug, staring at the dark wood of the double doors. The heavy latch clicked. Hayes walked into the room, closing the door softly behind him. He didn't have his boots on. He was just in his dark trousers and a soft gray shirt, his jaw tight, his golden eyes fixed on my face with an expression that looked dangerously close to pity. I turned my head away, my throat tightening. "If you came up here to tell me how much I embarrassed you in front of the elders, don't bother. I already know." "I don't give a damn about the elders," Hayes said, his deep voice rough and low in the quiet room. He walked over to the bed, his weight sinking the mattress beside me as he sat down. His skin was radiating that immense, steady wolf heat, but he didn't try to force me into his

CIARAThe cold air of the corridor hit my face as I slammed the master suite doors shut behind me.Behind me, in the hearth, the silver bracelet was already turning black in the hot coals. I did not care. I heard Hayes call my name from inside the room, but I did not stop walking until I reached the guest wing on the south side of the estate.I pushed open the door to an empty bedroom, walked inside, and locked the door behind me.I sat on the edge of the small bed in the dark. My chest felt tight and heavy. My wolf was still silent and grumbling inside my ribs, completely partly locked away due to the half mate claim while Nilah's full wolf made her confident and loud. Morning, the bell rang across the upper yard. It was the signal for the mandatory pack breakfast in the main hall. I stood up from the bed. I washed my face with cold water in the small sink, pulled my hair back into a tight knot behind my neck, and smoothed down my clothes. The double doors of the dining hall w

Chapter 52CIARAThe heavy double doors of the dining hall slammed shut behind me. I did not head back to the guest wing. I walked straight down the main corridor toward the front courtyard. Behind me, the dining hall doors burst open again.Hayes came striding down the hallway, his dark officer coat swinging around his legs. His face was pure stone, his golden eyes wide and furious. Killan was two paces behind him, pulling a thick leather belt tight around his waist."Ciara, stop!" Hayes called out. His voice boomed off the high stone arches.I stopped near the heavy iron doors that led out to the front courtyard and turned around to face him. "I am not hiding, Hayes. If Nilah’s father is at the front gate, I am going to stand right there while you tell him to take his daughter and leave."Hayes stopped two feet from me. He looked down at my face, his chest rising and falling fast. He didn't tell me to go upstairs. He didn't tell me to stay behind him. He reached down, took my right

HAYESI looked down into her face, expecting to see relief. I expected her to breathe out a long sigh, to rest her head against my chest, or to tell me that I had taken too long to handle it.Instead, Ciara’s fingers twitched violently inside mine. Her eyes widened, staring blankly past my left shoulder, and then the light in her irises simply extinguished. Her knees caved inward, her jaw went slack, and her head snapped back as her entire body went completely limp in my arms."Ciara!"The scream tore out of my throat before my brain could even process what was happening. I lunged across the stone porch, sliding hard on my knees, catching her before her skull smashed against the frozen, icy ground.Her skin was turning a sickening, dead gray right before my eyes. When I slammed my palm against the side of her throat, her skin felt like stagnant well-ice—not the clean, crisp cold of the mountain wind, but a thick, clammy chill that made my own blood run cold. Her pulse under my thumb w

CIARAThe heat in my throat felt like fire scorching away the icy sludge that had locked my lungs shut.Air rushed back into my chest all at once, violent and sudden. I sat up fast, coughing frantically as my ribs expanded. My eyes snapped open. The high wooden ceiling of the master bedroom blurred overhead, My hands were shaking uncontrollably, but the freezing, dead chill was gone. The heavy, dark weight in my veins had thinned out completely, replaced by a deep, throbbing heat surging from my chest down to my toes."Ciara!"Hayes was on his knees right beside the mattress. His massive hands were locked around my waist so hard the metal buckles of his leather vest bit into my ribs. Sweat and blood were smeared across his forehead, and his face was wet. His golden eyes were wide, bloodshot, and wild, the pupils narrowed to thin black slits.I lifted my right hand and slammed my palm against the side of his neck. His skin was burning hot, radiating pure fever."Hayes," I gasped out,

HAYESThen, the air in the room changed instantly the bitter smell of the poison disappeared completely, replaced by a thick, sweet, heavy scent that exploded off her body. It smelled like raw honey, fresh summer earth, and pure fertility. It filled every square inch of the room within two seconds. My inner wolf hit the front of my mind like a runaway train. My vision flashed bright gold. My pupils shrank until they were nothing but tiny black needles."Alpha?" Dr. Logan’s voice called out from the other side of the heavy oak door. He knocked twice, the sound loud against the wood. "Alpha, I heard her wake up. I need to get back inside immediately. The combination of your Alpha blood and the fire-root can cause a severe thermal spike. We need to measure her temperature before her internal organs overheat. Please, open the door."I didn't move toward the door. I couldn't move. My boots felt like they were glued to the floorboards as my nose took in another massive wave of her scent. M

HAYESAlpha Rylan was the only neighboring male I had not killed yet. For six years, our packs had shared a jagged, blood-soaked border along the high western ridge. He ran the Nightshade pack like a machine—disciplined, cold, and heavily armed. We had traded heavy blows in the mud during the autumn rains, broken each other’s ribs in multiple border skirmishes, and eventually signed a treaty because neither pack could afford a full war. I did not like him. But I respected his strength. He was dangerous, and today he was standing in my hall without my permission.The massive iron-studded main doors groaned open. A sharp blast cold air hit the room, throwing white snow across the stone threshold. Rylan walked inside and shook the powder from his heavy gray furs. He looked entirely calm. His pale face remained unreadable as he evaluated the stone pillars of my keep. Two of his senior betas walked right behind him, their hands resting near the hilts of their blades. They walked with the h

CIARA"Keep your arm still," Dr. Logan said. He kept his eyes fixed on the plastic syringe in his gloved hand. The needle went into the crook of my elbow with a sharp, familiar pinch. I didn't flinch. After weeks of being handled like glass by the Riverstone enforcers, a needle was nothing."Is the scent still that strong?" I asked. I pulled my sleeve down the second he drew the needle out, pressing a cotton ball over the small prick. "Even after three baths, Hayes looks like he wants to lock me in the vault every time I walk past the main hall windows."Logan let out a dry, short laugh. He walked across the small, sterile clinic room and dropped the vial into a metal rack next to his centrifuge. "Three baths won't do anything, Luna. Your skin is pushing out high-grade pheromones. To Hayes, you smell like the center of the world. To any other male who gets within a mile of our perimeter, you smell like a challenge to his authority.""Rylan learned that the hard way," I muttered, think

CIARAHayes filled the doorway, his massive shoulders blocking out the faint light from the corridor. He looked completely feral, his heavy leather hunting vest was torn open down the seam. In his right hand, he dragged the entire hindquarters of a wild mountain deer."If you bring one more dead animal into the master bedroom, Hayes, I am going to throw it out the high casement windows," I said, my voice dry. I leaned back against the carved headboard, crossing my arms tightly over my tunic. "The servants are already muttering that the Alpha suite smells like a slaughterhouse."Hayes didn't stop. He didn't even acknowledge the threat. His heavy boots thudded against the floorboards as he strode straight toward the bed, his gold eyes completely locked onto my face with a terrifying, single-minded focus."The pack kitchen rations are garbage," Hayes growled, his voice dropping into that deep, gravelly register that always came out when his wolf took the lead. "They brought up three ca

CIARAThe room was hot. Heavy, damp heat rolled off the hearth and clung to the skin like sweat. Hayes had stripped off his shirt hours ago, and he sat on the edge of the bed with his large, bare thighs spread wide, watching me. His chest glistened under the firelight, every ridge of muscle carved in shadow, his dark nipples hard peaks in the warm air.My stomach was heavy, tight, and throbbing with a dark, low ache that never went away. The twin Alphas inside me were starving. They didn't want the raw meat Hayes had brought up earlier, and they didn't want water. They wanted raw power, and my own body was running completely dry trying to give it to them."Come here," Hayes said. His voice was thick, dark, and raspy from the heat in the room. His gold eyes burned into me, hungry and possessive.I didn't argue. I crawled across the bed on my hands and knees, my hair falling over my shoulders, my body completely bare under a loose silk robe that hung open at the chest. My tits swayed wi
