What Was that About?

2025-02-03 07:10:44"Do you want to tell me what happened out there?"
I'm standing by the window when Kalen comes in, his tattered clothing barely clinging to his body, and I can't help but admire the sight. I know I shouldn't, but the way his muscles ripple beneath his skin, the way the fabric hugs his form, it's hard not to.He looks up at me, his eyes dark, his jaw tense, and my own body responds, a delicious stir in my core that I quickly tamp down. I don't need this. I don't need the distraction, the temptation. I need to stay focused."Lyla," he says, his voice a low growl. "What are you doing by the window? You could have been seen!"I lift my chin, meeting his gaze. "I’m not that stupid. I kept out of sight.” I take a step closer, my eyes scanning his body, taking in the blood, the bruises, the torn skin. "What happened?""Nothing." He drops the pile of wood by the fire and shrugs out of his clothing, keeping his back to me as he yanks on a new pair of

KalenMy eyebrows rise so high I feel them in my hairline. "You were exiled?"That explains a lot. Why she was distraught. How she got so far from her territory.But does it explain the attack?She bites her lip, her expression pained. "Yes. For challenging the authority of my Alpha." She shakes her head, her voice bitter. "His father promised me as his mate, as if I were a prize to be won.""And you didn't want that?"She sighs, her shoulders slumping. "I tried. I love Ethan, and I thought maybe I could love him as his mate. But I don't feel the bond with him. And I—I don’t agree with the ways of the pack. They’re archaic, our women are suppressed, and our children are literally sold to the Slavers. I’ve spoken up before, but this time, I did it in front of the elders. Maybe Ethan felt he had no choice . . . But he banished me."A shudder runs through her, and she lowers her eyes, her fingers coming up to trace the wound

Kalen"Let's get you something to eat. You need your strength. I don’t have a kitchen, but this stockpot is pretty multi-purpose." I flash a smile as I lead her back to the hearth, and she rewards me with her own smile.Even if she’s just humoring me.I show her how to cook the venison stew I've been preparing. She watches me closely, her eyes following my every move, and a warmth spreads through my chest at her attention.We work together, chopping vegetables and adding spices to the pot, and I can't help but steal glances at her. Her skin is flushed from the heat of the fire, her hair falling in loose waves around her face, and I have to resist the urge to reach out and touch her. We're so close, our bodies just inches apart, and I can feel the heat radiating off her skin.What would it be like to kiss her? To hold her close? She’s a Blackwood. She can’t be my mate. So no harm would come from copulating with her.Would

KalenI can’t avoid her for long.I spend a few hours at the lodge, finding food in the kitchen and purging myself in the sweat room, moody and snappy at the younger members of my pack. I feel Liam’s eyes on me, but it’s Cassie who approaches me. She settles herself down on the opposite side of my bench and studies me.“I’m not in the mood, Cass,” I growl.“I can see that,” she says. “Want to tell me what’s going on?”I glance over at the younger she-wolf, her calm hazel eyes focused on me. I sigh, my shoulders relaxing. Cassie has a way of seeing past my moods, which makes it difficult to hide anything from her.She’s the only one who knows the real reason I ended things with Elara.“Is it the rogue wolf?” she says, her voice quiet. “I heard there was another killing.”The wolf is a real concern, a threat to my wolves,

There’s a moment, a charged second where our gazes lock, and I can see it in her eyes. The attraction. The desire. It’s mutual, this pull between us, and it’s as dangerous as it is exhilarating.“I’m just trying to help,” she says, her voice soft, and I can hear the vulnerability in it. The uncertainty.I swallow, my throat suddenly dry. “I don’t need your help.”Her eyes flash with something, and she pulls back, her lips pressing together. She moves to sit by the fire, her back straight, her shoulders tense. I watch her for a moment, feeling a pang of regret. I don’t want to hurt her, but I can’t afford to let her get too close.But I can’t help myself. I’m drawn to her like a moth to a flame, even knowing the moment I reach my destination, I’ll die.I still want to feel that fleeting heat.I abandon the bowl and move to join her, sitting beside her on the f

Wolf instinct demands I have her. I’m still a man, but I snarl as I pull her to me, growling with an animal need as I turn her in my arms so she's facing me. I struggle to hold onto my humanity, to think logically, but red hot desire pumps through my veins. Her eyes widen, the pupils narrowing, the wolf in her responding to mine.Then her hands are on me. Tracing the muscles of my chest, my abdomen, her fingers playing over my skin. I feel her breath on my face, warm and sweet, and I want to taste it.I lean in, my mouth finding hers, my lips pressing against hers. She moans, a low, throaty sound that vibrates through me, making my blood sing.She utters a sound between a whimper and a whine, more dog than girl, and then her hands are on my shirt, tearing at the fabric, and I feel it rip, feel the air on my skin, feel her hands on me. I yank her to me, pulling her closer, feeling the heat of her body against my bare skin.Her mouth opens, and I seiz

KalenI have to think of her.I clench my jaw, my body tensing, and I pull back, away from her.“We can’t,” I say. “I’m the Alpha.”She rolls her eyes. “I’m not asking to be your mate.”“I can’t,” I say.“Because of the curse?”She says it so flippantly it stabs at my heart.“It’s real,” I say, meeting her gaze. “I’ve watched it take those I love.”She tilts her head, considering. “Then don’t love me. Just fuck me.”Her words send a jolt through me, and I laugh. I can't help it. But she's serious, her body tense, her eyes dark with desire."Lyla, you don't understand--""I understand," she says, her hands finding mine. Our fingers lace together, and she squeezes. "I understand there's danger. But we don't have to commit."My blood hums with her

KalenThe fire crackles in the hearth, casting a warm glow over the cabin. I tend to it, adding another log, and the flames leap higher, illuminating the room in a soft, flickering light. I can feel Lyla's eyes on me, and I know she's watching my every move.She's been here for days now, longer than I anticipated. Her injuries were severe, worse than I initially thought. But she's strong. I can see it in the way she fights to heal, the way she stubbornly persists.And I can't deny the pull I feel toward her. It's more than just a sense of duty, more than the attraction I felt when I first saw her. It's something deeper, something primal.I glance at her, and our eyes meet. Her expression is softer, less guarded. There's a trust there, a trust I don't deserve. I look away, focusing on the fire, but I can still feel her gaze."What are you afraid of?" she asks, her tone gentle but probing.I try to mask my fear, but I know she can see it. My h

Kalen“Ethan?” I repeat, the name curdling in my mouth. My hands drop from her wrists as if she’s burned me. “Ethan Blackwood is your mate?”Lyla presses a hand to her chest, her face going pale. Something flickers in her eyes—a memory, a shadow I can’t quite see. But I know fear when I see it.My mind is already racing ahead. “Lyla, you’re mated to Ethan? He’s the Alpha of your pack.” A bitter laugh escapes me. “Shit, Lyla!” I stand, my fists clenching. My jaw is tight, my pulse hammering. “Just when I thought there was a chance for us—if he thinks you came here willingly—your own pack will kill you for staying here!”She barely reacts. Her body shudders, her gaze distant, lost somewhere else.I push forward. “There’s a way out of this. If we say I held you here against your will—they won’t punish you.”

Stolen by the Alpha Between Duty and Conscience
I wash the blood from my hands in the icy stream, watching as crimson swirls dissolve into clear water. If only the stain on my conscience could be so easily cleansed. The tribute. A sterile word for a monstrous practice—sacrificing a newborn cub to the Slavers each year to keep our pack safe. A tradition older than I am, passed down through generations of Alphas, each bearing the weight of this terrible choice. Until now, I've convinced myself it was necessary. Unavoidable. The price of our continued existence. But Lyla's voice echoes in my mind, challenging everything I thought I knew. Everything I've done in the name of duty.The cold water numbs my skin, but does nothing for the hollowness spreading inside me. Four young wolves dead because I hesitated. Because I listened to the doubts that have been growing since Lyla discovered the truth twelve months ago.The memory of that night is seared into my mind. Lyla had been tracking unusual movements at the borders of our territory, c
Stolen by the Alpha They Left a Message
EthanThe Slavers. The description matches what we know of them—humans who have dedicated themselves to hunting and controlling our kind, who have somehow gained power over us through dark means we don't understand."They had weapons," she continues, her voice growing fainter. "But also . . . chains. Special chains."The infamous chains of the Ironfang Slavers—forged with some magic that can bind even a shifted werewolf, preventing transformation and sapping our strength. I've never seen them myself, but the stories have been passed down through generations, cautionary tales to keep young wolves from straying too far from pack territory."They surrounded us," Mia says. "We tried to fight, to run, but..." Her eyes fill with tears. "They killed Raj first. Made us watch. Said it was a demonstration."My stomach turns at the casual cruelty of it. They didn't just want to send a message—they wanted to inflict maximum terror and pain in the process."And then?" I prompt gently when she fall
Stolen by the Alpha Written in Blood
EthanThe forest welcomes me, a familiar embrace of pine and earth as my paws dig into the soft ground. Around me, five of my strongest pack members run in formation—their silver and dark-furred bodies weaving between trees with practiced ease. I lead them on the border patrol, my senses heightened in this form, alert to any sign of intrusion into our territory. My wolf revels in the simple joy of the run, the temporary freedom from human worries.The moon hangs high overhead, bathing the forest in light that filters through the canopy. My Beta, Alaric, a massive gray wolf with battle scars crisscrossing his muzzle, flanks me on the right. He's been by my side since I took the mantle of Alpha after Lyla's father died. On my left runs Aria, the pack's head warrior, her russet fur gleaming as she moves with lethal grace.The darkness of the night cloaks us, weaving a shroud of secrecy as we weave through the towering evergreens that loom like ancient sentinels around us. It’s a perfect n
Stolen by the Alpha Salt and Desperation
KalenThe kiss is salt and desperation, her whimper swallowed by my growl as her hips arch into mine. Every thread of restraint burns away. Her fingers tangle in my hair, yanking until my scalp burns. I crowd her against the tree, one knee wedged between her thighs, letting her grind against denim until her breath comes in ragged bursts. Every gasp is a blade twisting deeper into the cursed part of me that wants things I can’t have. She tastes like vengeance and reckoning, like every forbidden thing I’ve ever craved. Her teeth graze my lip, drawing blood, and the metallic tang ignites something feral, possessive.I tear myself away, breathing ragged. Her pupils are blown wide, lips swollen, chest rising and falling like she’s just run for her life.“Kalen,” she rasps. Just my name.It undoes me.My hands find her waist, her thighs hooking around me as I lift her, her back scraping bark. There’s no g
Stolen by the Alpha Cunning Hunter
Kalen"No!" Lyla thrashes like netted prey. "Not again! Not again!"Her terror is a live wire against my skin. I cage her gently between my arms and legs, mindful of her nails, absorbing the blows until her screams die to whimpers."Breathe, hellwolf." My palm settles over her racing heart.She stills, sucking in a deep breath and holding it so long I fear she’ll pass out. Then she whispers, “Kalen.”One word. A statement.My name.My heart trembles.“I’m here.” I whisper the words, my lips grazing her cheek.She relaxes against me, a shuddering gasp shaking her body.Focus. On her. Keep her focused. "Name five things you smell," I murmur. Grounding her in this moment."Pine resin. Iron blood. Your... your stupid musk."I smile. "Two more.""Wood smoke." A shuddering inhale. "Rotted meat."Ice floods my veins. The same decay-smell from J

KalenLiam’s ears flatten. What is that? Every muscle in my body locks. He’s caught it too.Female. Wounded. Outsider.His growl vibrates my spine. Smells like prey.I body-check him into the boulder. False lead. Bullshit. He bares his teeth. You hiding strays now, brother? He says the word like a taunt. A reminder of the way we used to be.Before I ruined his sister.He sees right through me. Or maybe it’s our wolf connection, the bond stronger while we’re in this form. The pack circles, nostrils flaring. Eight pairs of eyes reflect lunar gold.My claws scratch at the rock beneath my paws. Focus on the real threat.Liam doesn't blink. This reeks of Blackwood tricks.My tail lashes. The rogue went east. Take the pack and circle the lake.A beat. Two.
