I drift in and out of consciousness, the pain in my throat throbbing with every breath. Memories of Kane’s attack flash through my mind, mixed with confusion and fear. But there’s something else too—a strange kind of feeling.

Gradually, I become aware of my surroundings. I can hear voices, muffled and distant, but growing clearer with each passing moment. My body feels heavy, and my throat is dry, making it difficult to swallow.

The bed beneath my body seems far too soft and warm, unlike

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 23

    JuneBy the time I lose count, I know I have circled this mat at least twenty times.Maybe more.My sneakers hit the surface in a rhythm that used to feel freeing. I have always loved running. The rush of air in my lungs. The stretch in my legs. The way everything else fades except motion.This does not feel like that.This feels like punishment stretched thin.“Twenty-five,” Caleb calls out calmly from somewhere behind me.I grit my teeth.He stopped counting out loud after fifteen. Now he only throws numbers in when I slow down half a second or let my irritation show on my face.Which means he is watching closely.My muscles burn. Not the pleasant warmth of effort, but the sharp heat of being pushed past the point of usefulness. My calves ache. My thighs feel tight. Sweat slides down my spine beneath my shirt.I round another corner.This is trivial.Running laps.Like I am some first year who needs to build stamina.Humiliation creeps in slowly, unwanted and sharp. It is not that I

    JuneI reach the training area right on time.The doors are already open, cool morning air drifting in through the wide windows along the far wall. The space smells faintly of metal, sweat, and polished wood. Mats stretch across most of the floor, dark and smooth. Racks of weapons line one side in careful order. Pale sunlight spills across the room.He is already here.Of course he is.Caleb stands near the center of the room in black training pants and a fitted shirt that pulls across his shoulders. His back is to me at first. Relaxed. Waiting.I step inside, my sneakers brushing softly against the mats.Then I stop.He is not alone.Heat ignites in my chest before I can control it.Kylie stands too close to him.Her long blonde hair falls perfectly over one shoulder. Even at this hour she looks polished. She tilts her head as she laughs at something while he looks disinterested. The sound is light and airy, practiced. Her fingers trail through the air as she talks, and then she bats

    JuneI wake slowly, like I am rising through thick water.A low, silent groan slips past my lips before I can stop it.Everything hurts.Not a sharp pain. Not one single injury. It is everywhere. My arms ache. My legs throb. My back feels tight and overworked. Even my fingers feel tender when I try to curl them. It is like I have done the most intense workout of my life and every bone and muscle is protesting.I keep my eyes closed for a moment, breathing through it.Whenever I shift back to myself, my body is sensitive for a couple of hours. My skin feels thinner. My nerves feel exposed. The air brushing against me is too much. The soil beneath me feels too rough.This is not new.It happens every time my body changes back to human form.I love that I am different. I do. I love that there is something powerful inside me, something fierce and loyal and strong.I just wish it did not come with such excruciating pain.I swallow and shift slightly, wincing as my shoulder protests.Somewh

    June I keep running. With every passing moment my paws touch the earth, my speed increases. It feels natural, like I was always meant to move this way. Muscles stretch and contract with perfect rhythm. Air rushes into my lungs, cool and sharp, filling me with something close to joy. It is exhilarating. The forest opens ahead of me and I weave through it without thinking. I leap over fallen logs. I cut around thick trunks. My body knows where to go before my mind even registers the path. I forget about everything. There are no thoughts here. Just motion. Just wind slipping through my fur and the soft thud of paws hitting soil. I chase nothing and everything at once, simply because I can. This feeling of liberation wraps around me and pulls me forward. Sometimes I wish I did not have to contain this part of me for so long. I wish I did not have to measure my days by how well I can keep her quiet. I wish I did not have to wait for darkness and distance and secrecy. I wish I had

    JuneI wake up already tired.Not the kind of tired that comes from sore muscles or lack of sleep. This is different. It sits under my skin, hums in my chest, makes my thoughts sharper than they need to be.The room is quiet when I open my eyes. Pale light slips through the curtains. For a moment, I lie there and stare at the ceiling, trying to breathe through the tightness building inside me.It is too early for this.I swing my legs over the side of the bed and sit up. My pulse feels louder than usual. My fingers curl into the sheets, then release. I roll my shoulders, trying to shake it off.Practice starts in thirty minutes.By the time I step onto the training field, the air is crisp and cool. Others are already there, stretching, talking in low voices. I keep to myself like I always do. A quick nod here. A brief glance there.The drills begin.We run first. Laps around the perimeter. My feet hit the dirt in rhythm, breath moving in and out. Normally the motion helps. Normally it

    CalebI know I have a temper.It flares fast, burns hot, and sometimes I speak before I think. I have know this all my life. This is how I am.But damn, watching June walk toward Kylie when she was about to shift lights up my fuse like nothing else.We have been told since we were pups to never go near anyone in the middle of a shift. It is one of the first rules drilled into us. Bones break. Control slips. Instinct takes over. Even the gentlest wolf can lash out without meaning to. The outcome can turn devastating in a blink.And June was already too close.Kylie was trembling, her body caught between human and wolf, pain twisting her features. A few people stood back, giving her space. That is what we are supposed to do.June stepped closer.Closer.My chest tightened so hard it felt like something snapped inside me. What was she thinking? Did she not understand the risk?When she took another step, I did not think. I moved.I jumped in between them, my body planting itself like a s
