Vivi

Three days after the ritual, I still couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. It followed me like a shadow, prickling at the back of my neck when I least expected it. I tried to dismiss it as paranoia—a natural response to learning I was essentially a cosmic target—but deep down, I knew it was more.

"You feel it too, don't you?" Eowyn asked as we sat cross-legged in the training yard, practicing the energy-sharing techniques Lyra had taught us. Silver light danced between our outstretched palms, weaving intricate patterns in the space between us.

I nodded, not breaking my concentration. "Like something's... listening. Waiting."

"The breach," she confirmed, her silver eyes momentarily clouding. "It's aware of us now. More specifically, aware of you."

I suppressed a shiver, focusing instead on the flow of Starfire between us. Over the past days, we'd made remarkable progress in controlling and directing our combined energy. What had once been wild and unpredictable now responde

  • Her Wilde Mates: A Reverse Harem Wolf Shifter Romance   Void Walkers

    A sudden wind swept through the clearing, unnatural in its precision as it circled our group. The black residue rose in a spiraling column, particles glinting like razor-sharp obsidian in the afternoon light."Shields!" Lyra shouted, her hands already weaving complex patterns in the air. A barrier of silvery light sprang up around our group, just as the swirling particles launched themselves at us like a swarm of tiny projectiles.They hit Lyra's shield with the force of a battering ram, the impact sending ripples through the protective energy. I could feel the shield weakening under the assault, the Void energy systematically probing for vulnerabilities.Without conscious thought, I reached for Eowyn's hand. Our Starfire merged instantly, golden and silver light intertwining to reinforce Lyra's faltering protection. The particles recoiled momentarily, then redoubled their attack, focusing on the point where our combined energy was strongest."It's targeting you specifically," Xander

  • Her Wilde Mates: A Reverse Harem Wolf Shifter Romance   The Breach

    ViviI woke with a start, my heart hammering against my ribs. The room was dark, but I could make out the silhouettes of my mates—Xander's massive form on one side, Kane's leaner build on the other, and Dax sprawled at the foot of our bed like the perpetually restless wolf he was.For a moment, I couldn't identify what had woken me. Then I felt it—a subtle vibration in the air, a whisper of energy that made the Starfire in my veins pulse in response. I slipped from the bed carefully, not wanting to disturb the others. They needed their rest; tomorrow would bring more preparations, more training, more planning for a threat most of them had never imagined possible.I padded to the window, drawn by an instinct I couldn't name. The compound was quiet under the silvery glow of the waning moon, the perimeter wards glimmering faintly at the edges of my perception. Everything appeared peaceful, yet something was... calling to me."You feel it too."I turned to find Eowyn standing in the doorw

    Morning came too quickly, the first rays of sunlight streaming through the windows and painting golden patterns across the tangled limbs of my sleeping companions. I extracted myself carefully, pausing to take in the sight of my three mates and Eowyn, all still deep in slumber.Xander lay on his back, one arm flung above his head, his features softer in sleep than they ever were in waking. Kane was curled on his side, his expression peaceful, while Dax had somehow managed to sprawl diagonally across the foot of the bed, one leg hanging off the edge. Eowyn was nestled between them, her silver hair a stark contrast against the dark sheets.They looked... right together. Like pieces of a puzzle that had finally found their proper arrangement. The thought should have sparked jealousy, but instead I felt only a deep contentment. This was my family, in all its unconventional glory.I slipped into the bathroom, turning the shower on hot and stepping under the spray. As the water cascaded ove

    I gasped, reality slamming back into focus with jarring suddenness. I was on my knees in the center of the ritual circle, Eowyn's hands gripping mine tightly, her silver energy flowing into me in a steady stream. My entire body trembled with the aftershocks of what I had experienced—what Fenrir had experienced."Vivi!" Xander's voice broke through the lingering disorientation. He was kneeling beside me, his face tight with concern. "Are you alright?"I nodded, unable to speak yet as I processed the flood of information and emotion. Kane and Dax had also abandoned their positions, forming a protective circle around Eowyn and me."What did you see?" Lyra asked, her voice strangely hesitant.I looked up at her, seeing her with new eyes. Not just Councilor Lyra, but an echo of another Lyra—the Silver Sentinel who had fought alongside Fenrir, who had loved him, who had promised to find him again."Everything," I whispered. "I saw... everything."As my strength returned, I began to share wh

    The days following my connection to Fenrir's memories were a blur of preparation and planning. Armed with new understanding of the breach and how to address it, we worked tirelessly to develop a strategy that would create the equilibrium Fenrir had envisioned."The ritual will require seven focal points," I explained to our gathered allies in the war room. "Each positioned at a major ley line intersection surrounding the central nexus point beneath our compound."Xander leaned over the map where I had marked these locations, his brow furrowed in concentration. "These points form a perfect heptagram around our territory.""Not coincidentally," Lyra noted. "Your ancestors chose this location precisely because of this pattern. They understood, on some level, that it would be needed someday.""Each point needs to be anchored by someone with a strong energy signature," I continued. "My mates will take three positions. Lyra, Ronan, and Sage can take another three.""And the seventh?" Kane a

    Vivi"Fuck it all to hell!" I cursed as I grabbed the ticket from the windshield of my old Jeep Wrangler. It was the third one in the last two weeks! "What happened to brotherhood of the badge shit?" Two little white-headed ladies walking by on the sidewalk gave me the stink eye for my outburst. "Sorry," I mumbled, but I wasn't really. How could a town that had literally one main road have so many fucking parking laws? I felt like I had broken most of them in the short time I'd been here and apparently there was no love lost between the game wardens and the traffic cops here.As I crumpled up the ticket and climbed into my Jeep, I thought about what had brought me across the country. The memory of my last day in Florida came flooding back, bringing with it a mix of emotions I was still trying to sort through.I remembered the suffocating heat as I'd loaded the last of my boxes into the U-Haul. Aria had been there, helping me, her eyes red-rimmed from crying."You sure you don't want

    XanderI stood on the ridge with Kane, my Beta, my closest advisor, and surveyed the landscape. I could breathe when up high over my pack lands watching the sun sinking toward the trees in the valley below, the stress of leadership melted away, if only for a few minutes."There, Dax's truck," Kane pointed to the small road at the head of the valley that led into our compound set deep into the National Forest. When we had arrived in the late 1800s, Bridger had been just acres and acres of wilderness. We had slowly purchased as much as we could, working as loggers and opening one of the few sawmills in the back country. When the government had bought up the land to create the National Forest, I had refused to sell, and we had been grandfathered in. Now we were surrounded by government forest. The forest service kept the area pristine, and left us alone for the most part, so I couldn't complain. It gave us plenty of room and privacy to run - two of the main things I required to keep my p

    ViviI was surprised at how disappointed I had been to not hear back from Sage about getting my hair braided before I had to return to the forest to work, though, in all honesty, there hadn't been that much time. I had to leave the next morning. I didn't often think that much about my appearance, but something about the intricate braiding had called to me.As I stood there, fingers absently combing through the ends of my ponytail, I couldn't help but wonder why I suddenly cared so much about how I looked. Was it because of him? The brother? Dax she had called him. The name sent an unexpected shiver down my spine. I shook my head, trying to clear the image of his piercing eyes and impressive tattoos from my mind.It was strange, really. I hadn't thought much about the man at first, other than how he had interacted with Sage. He'd just been part of an interesting interaction, albeit an intimidating one. But then, as I was leaving, something happened that I couldn't quite explain.I was

    ViviMorning light filtered through the curtains, painting golden streaks across our tangled limbs. I awoke slowly, cocooned in warmth—Xander's solid chest against my back, Kane's arm draped over my waist, Dax's face buried in my neck. For a moment, I simply breathed them in, savoring the peace before reality intruded once more.Last night had been exactly what we needed—a reconnection, a reaffirmation of the bonds that held us together. But now, with daylight came responsibility and decisions that could not be postponed.As if sensing my thoughts, Xander stirred behind me, his lips brushing the nape of my neck. "Morning," he murmured, his voice rough with sleep."Morning," I replied, turning in the circle of his arms to face him. His golden eyes were soft with affection, his usual Alpha intensity tempered by lingering intimacy.Kane and Dax woke almost simultaneously, both stretching like the predators they were. Dax immediately rolled to his feet, never one to linger in bed once awa

    ViviThe moon hung full and heavy in the night sky, bathing our bedroom in silver light as I stood by the window. The events of the past few days—the battle, the revelations about the Council, Eowyn's powers—had left little time for us to simply be together. My body ached not just from exertion, but from the need to reconnect with my mates, to ground myself in their touch and presence."You're thinking too loud," came Dax's rumbling voice from the doorway. I turned to find him leaning against the frame, shirtless and magnificent, his tattoos seeming to shift in the moonlight. Behind him stood Kane and Xander, their expressions a mixture of concern and desire."Sorry," I offered a small smile. "It's been... a lot."Xander crossed the room in a few long strides, his large hands cupping my face with surprising gentleness. "You don't need to apologize. You've been incredible." His thumb traced my lower lip. "But tonight isn't for thinking.""No?" I whispered, already feeling the familiar

    The air crackled with tension as we gathered at the northern border of our territory. Dawn had barely broken, casting long shadows across the frost-covered ground. Our scouts had confirmed what we already knew in our hearts—the High Council's forces were approaching, and they weren't coming to negotiate.Eowyn stood beside me, her silver eyes scanning the treeline with predatory focus. The training session yesterday had unlocked something in her—not just greater control over her abilities, but a sense of purpose that straightened her spine and hardened her resolve."They'll come from the east," she said quietly. "It's their preferred strategy—attack where the sun blinds the defenders."Xander nodded, taking her intelligence seriously. "Kane, reinforce the eastern perimeter. Double the guards and set the traps we prepared."Kane moved immediately, gathering a group of our strongest fighters. His tactical mind was already working, adapting our defense plans to incorporate Eowyn's insigh
