FORSAKEN BY FATE : EMBRACE BY WOLVES Chapter Twelve: Unspoken Chaos
CALLUMI barely registered her body crumpling to the floor before instinct kicked in.“Liana!” I shouted, rushing toward her. My heart pounded, but I shoved the panic aside. Her small frame lay limp on the ground, pale and motionless.“Liana, wake up!” I knelt beside her, gently shaking her shoulders, but there was no response. Her breaths were shallow, her skin cold beneath my hands. A wave of something foreign—fear, maybe—tightened in my chest. “Callum, what—” Asher’s voice trailed off as he and Reed approached. “She fainted,” I snapped, cutting me off. “Help me move her.”I slipped my arms beneath her, lifting her easily into a bridal hold. She felt fragile, too light, like she might break in my grip. Her head lolled against my chest as I stood. Reed hovered nearby, his usual calm shaken. “She’s out cold?”“No thanks to the chaos we just dealt with,” I muttered. “Asher, call Meave. Now. Reed, get the workers here. The place is a mess, and we can’t leave anything behind.”Without

LIANAThe first thing I noticed was the warmth, soft and all-encompassing, spreading over my body like a thick blanket. My eyelids fluttered open, revealing the faint flicker of light peeking through heavy curtains. The room smelled faintly of cedarwood and rain, clean yet foreign.“Liana?”I turned my head toward the sound, my movements sluggish. Callum sat in a chair beside the bed, his sharp features softened by an unusual expression—concern. “You’re awake,” he murmured, his voice low, as if speaking too loudly might shatter me. My head throbbed as I tried to sit up, but his hand shot out, steadying me before I could fall back. “Take it slow,” he added. “What happened?” My voice was hoarse, barely above a whisper.“You fainted,” Callum explained. “The fight must have taken more out of you than you realized.Faint images of chaos flared in my mind—blood, snarls, the cold dread that had gripped me just before everything went blank. But even more vivid was the strange pull I’d felt

CALLUMThe moment I saw the SUV roll up the driveway, I knew it wasn’t trouble. The engine hummed in that familiar way, a low, even pure that practically whispered Malcolm. Still, I followed Reed and Asher down the hall with purpose—just in case. Reed was the first to reach the door, as always. The “responsible” brother. He peeked through the side window, his shoulders visibly relaxing when he caught sight of the man climbing out of the vehicle. It wasn’t the first time Reed had gone all “big brother mode,” peeking out the window like some overprotective watchdog, I had found that act of his irritating. But this time, I wasn’t annoyed at him. No, I was irritated because Malcolm’s SUV pulling up to the house meant one thing: a complication in the mission we sent him out for. Malcolm was reliable. I’d give him that. The man had been with us longer than all of us had been alive, helping our father before his death and, somehow, sticking around after. He was loyal to a fault, wise beyon

RAIDENThe warmth of her skin was intoxicating, a distraction I welcomed. Her lips trailed down my neck as I let my head tilt back, savoring the fleeting moments of bliss. Lydia—one of the maids—was eager, pliant, and desperate to please, just how I liked them.“Get down there, Lydia,” I whispered in between gritted teeth, my hands working extra time to get the belt of my pants off. “Let me handle that, Alpha,” she replied, her voice barely above a whisper, her hands grabbing the head of the belt and within minutes my pants were off.I closed my eyes as she took my cock in her wet suckling mouth, her tongue wiggling on the tip of my cock. This was amazing—the feeling of being sexually pleased was amazed. As if she read my mind, Lydia went full on my cock taking everything inside her mouth. The sound of her mouth on my cock sent jolts of adrenaline through my brain. “Am I doing it right, Alpha Raiden?” she whispered breathlessly, her hands on my cock as she gave me a handjob. “Stop

RAIDENThe cold evening air clung to my skin as I made my way back to the castle. The trail of footprints leading to tire tracks at the border played over in my mind, along with the shredded guards left in their wake. The scene had been gruesome, a testament to an attack far more calculated than any rogue ambush. Still, I’d ordered the cleanup and reinforced the border, ensuring the guards’ deaths wouldn’t cause a stir. I didn’t need my father seeing this as another failure. The scent of power and judgment lingered in the halls even before I reached the castle gates, a reminder of the man who awaited me. Maddox Gray. The guards opened the heavy oak doors without a word, their eyes fixed on the ground. They must have sensed the storm brewing. I stepped into the grand hall, its polished marble floors gleaming under flickering chandeliers, but the air felt heavy. Too quiet. Too still. And then I saw him. My father stood at the far end of the room, his arms crossed, his piercing gray

REEDThe study was dim, the faint glow of the fireplace barely illuminating the tension that weighed heavy in the room. Malcolm sat stiffly in one of the leather chairs, his usual easy demeanor replaced by a guarded expression. The transition from the living room had been quick and silent, each of us moving as if on instinct, like soldiers preparing for battle. Callum was the last to enter, shutting the double doors behind him with a quiet finality. He leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, eyes fixed on Malcolm like a predator sizing up its prey.“You called her Aurora,” I began, breaking the silence. My tone was calm, but the underlying edge was impossible to miss. “Care to explain?”Malcolm chuckled dryly, the sound devoid of humor. “You lots are as impatient as your father was.”Callum straightened, his jaw tightening. “Don’t. Bring. Him. Up.” His voice was cold, each word deliberate.Malcolm raised his hands in mock surrender. “Fine, fine. But if you want answers, you’ll ne

SERAPHINERaiden winced beneath my touch, his muscular frame tensing as I pressed a damp cloth to the wound on his temple. Blood had matted the dark strands of his hair, streaking down his face in angry rivulets. He wouldn’t look at me, his gaze fixed on the far wall of the dimly lit room.“Hold still,” I murmured, my voice barely audible. He scoffed, though the sound came out weak. “Why bother? He’ll just do it again.”I froze, my hand hovering over the cloth. His words cut deeper than any blade ever could. He was right, of course. Maddox’s temper had always been unforgiving, but his rage against Raiden was particularly cruel—unrelenting. I resumed my task, dabbing gently at the cut. “You’ll heal faster if you let me do this.”Raiden didn’t respond, but his silence gave me space to think. And thinking, as always, led me back to the past I’d worked so hard to bury. Staring at him the memories came unbidden, pulling me into a time long gone, to a lake bathed in moonlight. My legs tr

Chapter 19: InvestigationsMADDOXThe heavy oak doors of the war room groaned as they shut behind me, sealing us inside. The air was thick with tension, the kind that clung to the walls and settled in the lungs. My lieutenants and generals sat around the long table, their faces cast in sharp shadows from the single chandelier that hung above us. “Report,” I barked, settling into my chair at the head of the table.General Torrent, ever the first to speak, rose with his chest puffed out. “The attack at the border was swift and efficient, Alpha. Minimal witnesses, precise kills. Whoever orchestrated this was no amateur.”“Don’t you think I know that already? Amateur or not,” I growled, “someone dared strike my borders. And they left bodies behind. That is a message. I want to know why they did it and what they came for.”Torren nodded, his expression grave. “We’ve recovered enough evidence to begin piecing together what happened, Alpha.” He gestured to the two forensic experts standing

FORSAKEN BY FATE : EMBRACE BY WOLVES Chapter 45: Stings of Betrayal
CALLUM POVI stormed into the study, slamming the door shut behind me, the echo reverberating through the house like my boiling anger. My fists clenched at my sides as I paced the room, every word Liana had said replaying in my head like a broken record. If Raiden begged me properly, I’d take him back. What kind of nonsense was that? After everything, after we saved her, protected her, gave her a damn home! I felt like a fool for even tolerating her presence here.The door creaked open, and Asher stepped in, his usual calm demeanor masking whatever storm brewed inside him. He leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, his sharp green eyes narrowing at me.“You’re mad,” he observed dryly. “Don’t break anything this time.”I stopped pacing, running a hand through my hair as I glared at him. “Mad? Oh, I’m beyond mad, Ash. Did you hear her? If Raiden begged me properly!” I spat the words like poison. “After all he did to her? After he tossed her aside like trash, she has the audacity to
FORSAKEN BY FATE : EMBRACE BY WOLVES Chapter 44: Shadows of Control
MADDOX’s POVThe air in my study was still, thick with the scent of aged whiskey and the remnants of cigar smoke. The desk before me was cluttered with maps and papers outlining our borders, but my mind had shifted from the elusive “border girl” to the unfinished business I had left behind. Seraphine.I had been interrupted at the worst possible moment. My wife’s body, warm beneath me, her breath shallow and quick, had been the only thing anchoring my restless thoughts until that damn servant barged in with news that couldn’t wait. And now, as I pushed away from my chair, I was ready to pick up where we left off.The corridors of my castle were eerily quiet as I strode toward my chambers. The faint shuffle of servants echoed in the distance, but the moment they spotted me, they froze in place, their eyes lowered in fear. I smirked at their trembling forms; power was a drug, and I was thoroughly addicted.When I reached my room, I swung the door open, already prepared to demand Seraphi
FORSAKEN BY FATE : EMBRACE BY WOLVES Chapter 43: The Breaking Point: Liana’s Reckoning
LIANA I stared at the wall Reed had just punched, the crack spreading like a spider web across the surface. For a second, I thought the entire house might collapse from the force of his fury. Then, just like that, he stormed off, his boots pounding against the floor, echoing louder than the thoughts swirling in my head. I blinked a few times, trying to piece together what just happened.“What’s his problem?” I asked, turning to the three men still standing awkwardly in the living room. Asher’s arms were crossed tightly over his chest. Callum was rubbing the back of his neck, and Malcolm—well, Malcolm was staring at me like I’d just grown a second head.No one answered me. They just exchanged glances like I was some kind of puzzle they couldn’t figure out.“What?” I pressed, throwing up my hands. “Did I say something wrong?”Callum’s jaw tightened, and he muttered something under his breath that sounded suspiciously like “Unbelievable.” Asher shook his head and started walking toward
FORSAKEN BY FATE : EMBRACE BY WOLVES Chapter 42: Shadows of Desperation
RAIDEN POVI should have gone to school. Hell, I even drove halfway there, my tires kicking up the dusty road as I gripped the steering wheel tighter than necessary. But halfway through the winding path, something gnawed at me. The image of Seraphine sitting alone in that house—the cold, suffocating air of Maddox’s shadow looming over her—wouldn’t leave my mind.My hands clenched on the wheel as I imagined Maddox’s towering frame, his sharp, calculating eyes that could strip away your soul. If he suspected Seraphine was hiding anything, he wouldn’t hesitate. He’d crush her. And the way things had been unraveling lately, I had no doubt he was already suspicious.“Damn you, Maddox Gray,” the curse slipped through my teeth as I slowed the car to a stop on the side of the road. My heartbeat was erratic, a mix of fear and dread pounding through me like a relentless drumbeat. I sat there for a moment, gripping the wheel so hard my knuckles turned white. “Damn it,” I muttered, slamming my p
FORSAKEN BY FATE : EMBRACE BY WOLVES Chapter 41: Fractured Loyalties
REED The morning was quiet, but Malcolm’s words thundered in my ears. I sat on the exotic leather couch in the living room, leaning forward, my elbows resting on my knees, fingers steepled under my chin. Across from me, Malcolm paced the floor, his boots scuffing against the hardwood, his face dark with worry.“You’re sure they were Maddox’s men?” I asked, my voice low but firm.Malcolm stopped, turning to face me. “I know what I saw, Reed. They were at Elmswood Forest this morning—right before we left. Same uniforms, same insignias. Maddox knows about her and maybe he might know too much at this rate. Which means he is making a move.”A curse escaped my lips as I rubbed the back of my neck. Elmswood had been our safe house for weeks, and now it wasn’t safe at all. “Don’t you think Raiden might have sent them instead?” I asked, though the words tasted bitter even as I spoke them.Malcom’s brows furrowed as he considered it. “I don’t know. But whoever sent them is up to no good. The g

SERAPHINEThe lingering scent of Maddox clung to my skin like a shackle, a reminder of the power he held over me. I tightened the robe around my body, smoothing the silk against my trembling hands. He had left abruptly, leaving me alone in the room we shared for his twisted games of control. Yet, this time, something was different. That name. The Border Girl. It echoed in my head like a haunting melody, pulling at strings deep within me I didn’t even know still existed. My heart thudded against my ribs as I stood motionless by the door. Maddox’s deep, commanding voice resonated faintly through the walls, just enough for me to catch fragments of his conversation with the servant boy.“Lieutenants… spotted her,” the boy had said, his voice quivering with fear. Maddox’s response had been colder than winter’s bite. “Follow me to my office. This is a conversation that cannot be had here.”The second of their footsteps grew faint as they moved down the hall. My breath hitched, and my fin

ASHERI stood at the doorway of the room, my hand lightly resting on the polished oak frame, watching her. Liana sat by the dresser, her back to us, her reflection caught in the mirror’s glass. She was still as a statue, her hands resting on her lap, eyes unfocused and lost in a world far away.Her chestnut brown hair shimmered under the soft light of the chandelier, but it wasn’t her beauty that caught my attention—it was the look on her face. Something between sadness and disbelief.I nudged Callum in the ribs, my voice low. “She hasn’t even noticed we’re here.”He grinned, but it felt hollow. “Must be really taken by her own reflection. Can’t blame her—it’s not every day someone gets a room like this.”I rolled my eyes but didn’t argue. Together, we stepped in, the creak of the floorboards breaking the silence.“Enjoying the view?” I asked, my tone deliberately light.Liana blinked, startled, and turned to face us, her cheeks reddening slightly. “Oh, I didn’t hear you come in.”“Cl

MADDOXThe sharp knock on the door jarred me out of my focus. Seraphine’s trembling form was beneath me, her defiance finally subdued, her breath uneven. My hand gripped her chin, forcing her to hold my gaze even though I could see the hatred blazing in her eyes.“Don’t look away,” I murmured, my tone low and commanding. This was the moment I relished the most—the moment when her loathing dissolved into submission.But the knock came again. Louder this time.Her gaze flickered toward the door, breaking my hold over her entirely. My teeth clenched. “Wait here,” I snapped, rising from the bed and leaving her as she sat upright, wrapping the sheets around her like armor.I threw the door open with a scowl, my glare landing on the scrawny servant boy standing there, visibly trembling. His face was pale, his knuckles white as he clutched a folded parchment in his hands. “Whatever you have to say should better be important else you will regret ever coming five feet to this door,” I barked,
FORSAKEN BY FATE : EMBRACE BY WOLVES Chapter 37: The Move
LIANAThe first light of dawn slipped through the heavy curtains, streaking the room in muted gold. I stirred awake, stretching lazily before turning to the other side of the bed. Reed’s side. Empty.The faintest frown tugged at my lips as I stared at the crumbled sheets where he should have been. My thoughts wandered as I dragged myself out of bed, my feet meeting the cool wooden floor. He hadn’t come to the bed until late, that much I knew. And now he was already gone?The house was alive with movement. I could hear muffled voices, the occasional thud of a box being carried, and Malcolm barking orders down the hallway. It was a busy morning—relocating was never simple.I rubbed the sleep from my eyes, slipped on a sweater, and padded down the hall. When I entered the living room, Callum and Asher were busy hauling a stack of duffel bags toward the front door. Malcolm stood by, giving his usual gruff commentary.Reed stood by the window, his frame stiff, his hands shoved into the po
