SageThe world returns in fragments of sensation – the sterile scent of medical equipment, the soft hum of monitors tracking my vital signs, and most disturbingly, the unfamiliar weight of a bond that should not exist. My hand instinctively rises to my neck, fingers brushing against the tender skin where Alaric's mark should be, finding instead the raw evidence of Cassius's violation."The disorientation is perfectly normal," Cassius's irritating voice, like nails on a chalkboard leaving goosebumps on my skin, reaches me through the fog of consciousness. "The transitional phase between bonds creates temporary neurological disruption."My eyes snap open, the brightness of the medical chamber sending sharp pain through my skull. The first thing I see isn't Cassius, but Alaric – my mate, my king – standing rigidly beside my bed, his expression a careful mask that fails to hide the rage simmering beneath the surface. And despite the small voice in my head insisting something about his pres

Sage"Her condition is destabilizing," one of the doctors reports. "But her heart rate is still elevated, and her blood pressure is concerning for the pregnancy."The mention of our child focuses my thoughts instantly, turning from self-loathing to concern for our pup. Whatever happens to me, I must protect the innocent life growing within. No matter the cost. Through the emptiness where our bond should flow, I try to project this determination to Alaric, hoping some trace of our connection might still exist beneath Cassius's violation. I need him to know I’ll do anything to bring his heir safely into the world for him. Even if it means playing Cassius’s game. For the briefest moment, something responds – not clear communication, not distinct emotion, but the faintest resonance like a distant echo. Alaric's eyes widen slightly, the only indication that he might have felt the same impossible connection."The child." My hand moves protectively to my rounded abdomen. "What effect does

SagePain tears me from sleep like claws ripping through flesh. My back arches off the bed as fire spreads from Cassius's mark, radiating through my chest in waves of agony that feel like my ribs are being pried apart one by one. A scream tears from my throat before I can even register that I'm awake."Sage!" Alaric is at my side instantly, his hands hovering over me, uncertain where to touch when every inch of my skin seems to burn.The monitors surrounding the bed erupt in a cacophony of alarms – heart rate spiking, blood pressure plummeting, fetal distress indicators flashing urgent warnings. Medical staff rush into the room, their voices distant through the haze of pain consuming me."What's happening?" Alaric demands, his voice carrying the edge of panic I've never heard from my warrior king. "Do something!""Her system is rejecting the bond," one doctor explains, frantically adjusting medications. "But this is far more severe than a typical adaptation response."Another wave of a

SageAlaric catches himself at the last possible moment, claws already extended, body partially shifted in response to a threat no Alpha could tolerate. The aborted attack leaves him trembling with suppressed violence, beast and man warring between instinctive response and strategic necessity."Touch her, and consequences of killing you become acceptable risk," Alaric manages through clenched teeth, each word measured and precise despite the rage behind them.The standoff stretches between them – Cassius's smug certainty against Alaric's barely leashed violence. Medical staff retreat to a safe distance, monitors continuing to track my gradually stabilizing condition while the predators in the room measure each other with lethal intent."Your aggression poses a greater threat to her stability than my proposed solution," Cassius notes with a psychotic detachment that makes his implications even more monstrous. "Perhaps you should consider which male's attentions would cause less overall

AlaricI haven't left Sage’s side in the thirty-six hours since Cassius's violation triggered her crisis. The doctors' insistence that he stay close by has left a gnawing rage brewing under my skin, like an itch I can’t find a way to scratch. I watch my beautiful, perfect mate as she sleeps, relieved to find her peaceful despite the trauma she’s suffered. My hand rests protectively over hers where it cradles our child, the subtle movements beneath her skin confirming our baby's resilience despite the circumstances threatening them both.A raised voice from the connected chamber draws my attention – not loud enough to disturb Sage's much-needed rest, but carrying clear tension that suggests an opportunity I can’t ignore. I position myself near the connecting door left partially open, shamelessly eavesdropping."—completely unacceptable," Daphne's cultured voice carries unmistakable fury beneath her controlled volume. "You assured me this arrangement was temporary and wouldn't affect ou

Alaric"I heard voices, arguing." Sage murmurs, eyes finally opening to confirm my presence. And even in the midst of the chaos around us, the sparkling amethyst pools take my breath away. "Cassius and Daphne," I confirm quietly, my position shielding her from the connecting doorway where their conflict continues with decreased volume but undiminished intensity. "Disagreement about current arrangements."Understanding dawns in her expression – the implications of their conflict registering the same conclusion I already came to. For the first time in days, I see hope flare in her eyes, a wicked smirk pulling at her lips despite everything she;s been through. And I’d do anything to keep that look on her face.The medical chamber door opens, interrupting our silent communication as an older doctor enters to assess my mate. His professional detachment carries something almost like sympathy as he notes our silent communication, awareness of our situation evident beneath his clinical exteri

SageThe old doctor's hands move efficiently as he completes his final assessment, eyes darting toward the surveillance camera before leaning closer to check my pulse. His fingers press a small scrap of paper into my palm."Your vitals are strong enough for transfer," he announces loudly. "Your new accommodations are being prepared as we speak."I slip the paper beneath my blanket while Alaric positions himself between us and the camera. Shared anticipation pulses between us– the first real chance since our capture."When exactly will security protocols be suspended?" Alaric breathes, the question audible only to us."0800 to 0835," the doctor murmurs, adjusting my IV with practiced movements. "Standard procedure to allow the necessary medical equipment to be moved without damaging the security system’s radio frequencies.."Thirty-five minutes. A narrow window that might be our only opportunity. I can practically feel Alaric’s mind working, calculating timing, variables, potential obst

Sage"Now," Alaric says the moment Daphne’s footsteps fade beyond hearing range.His movement to the doorway carries predatory silence born of centuries of hunting heritage. The corridor outside remains momentarily clear, guard rotations creating a brief opportunity we take full advantage of."Three minutes until the doctor reaches the communication point with Garrett and our men, if he isn’t stopped," Alaric whispers, helping me from bed with careful movements balancing speed against my still-recovering strength and my ungainly belly. "Seven minutes until the guards return."The understanding of the critical timing required crackles like electricity between us – so many moving parts, narrow windows within windows, our success depending on precise execution without room for error. My legs wobble slightly as I stand, my body still recovering from the bond rejection crisis that nearly killed me days earlier and my power still muted by the steady diet of drugs Cassius has kept me on."I c

AlexanderMy mother’s watchful eyes pierce right through me as she waits for me to speak. I consider lying, brushing off my questions as nothing more than curiosity. But I’ve never lied to her before, and I don’t intend to start now. "I found my true mate today," I say finally, the words both liberating and damning. "A healer named Lyra, from one of the hidden communities."Elara gasps softly while my mother's expression transforms from shock to a complex mixture of joy and concern. "The mate bond—you're certain?""As certain as you and Father were," I confirm. "The silver connection, instantaneous and undeniable.""Oh, Alex," Elara breathes, understanding immediately the impossible position I'm in. "The Choosing Gala, Princess Selene, the prophecy...""All pointing me in one direction," I finish grimly, "while fate pulls me in another."My mother rises, coming to me, her hands cool against my face as she studies me with those violet eyes so like my own. "A true mate is a gift beyond

Alexander The Grand Ballroom is even more crowded than the previous night, the competition among potential matches growing as the Gala progresses. By tradition, I should be narrowing my preferences, spending more time with those I find most suitable. Instead, I move mechanically through the required dances, my thoughts a thousand miles away in a forest clearing with a woman whose touch brought balance to my warring nature."Your Highness seems distracted tonight," observes Lady Mirella, the daughter of an influential Alpha from the Western territories, as we complete our obligatory dance."Forgive me," I say automatically. "Many matters require my attention with the coronation approaching."She simpers appropriately, but I can see the calculation in her eyes. All of them are watching, evaluating, strategizing—except Selene, who stands across the room in conversation with my father, her poise perfect as always but her gaze finding me repeatedly.I've successfully avoided her so far, pl

AlexanderEvery step away from Lyra feels wrong—physically painful in a way I've never experienced. The silver thread of our mate bond stretches but doesn't break, a constant pull urging me to turn back, to claim what fate has decreed is mine. My head pounds and my dual nature—healing and Alpha—roils inside me, more unsettled than ever before."Alex?" Dominic's voice breaks through my inner turmoil. "You need to slow down. You're practically running."I realize I've been striding through the forest at a punishing pace, as if physical distance might somehow diminish the connection I feel to her. I stop abruptly, bracing one hand against a tree trunk, struggling to bring my breathing under control."A true mate," I say, the words hollow with disbelief. "Now, of all times."Dominic says nothing, just watches me with concern etched on his features. He was there, he saw the connection spark between us, but he can't feel what I'm feeling—the bone-deep certainty colliding with equally powerfu

LyraMy healing ability activates instinctively, energy flowing through my fingertips into his arm. I sense immediately that something is wrong—his dual natures pulling against each other with increasing force, creating internal fractures where they should flow together."Your power is destabilizing," I tell him, medical concern momentarily overriding the more complicated emotions of our situation. "The Alpha strength and healing ability—they're fighting each other instead of balancing."He looks at me with surprise. "You can sense that?""I'm a healer," I remind him. "Diagnosing is what I do." I hesitate, then add, "But this is beyond my experience. I've never felt anything like the conflict in your energies.""The conflict has been growing stronger as my twenty-fifth birthday approaches," he admits. "Headaches, power surges, difficulty controlling either ability."His Beta watches our exchange with growing concern. "We should return to the palace," he suggests. "If you're unwell—""I

LyraThe moment I lock eyes with him, everything inside me shifts—rearranges itself around a truth I never expected to face. The legendary silver connection of true mates flares between us like a living thing, pulsing with recognition so fierce it nearly brings me to my knees.My basket tumbles from my fingers, precious dream flowers scattering across the forest floor. I rise to my feet, unable to look away from the man standing at the edge of the clearing. Even without the royal trappings, I would know him anywhere—the violet eyes that mark his heritage, the commanding presence that no plain clothing can disguise. Prince Alexander, heir to the throne, son of the king who descended from those who hunted my people to near extinction.My true mate."It's you," he whispers, his voice carrying easily across the clearing.I can't speak, can't move. Every instinct urges me forward, toward him, while every rational thought screams danger. The mate bond thrums between us, demanding acknowledgm

AlexanderAfter some discussion, Merrick provides us with a crude map marking the locations of reported sightings and the disturbance. With daylight still abundant, Dominic and I set out immediately, following the forest paths that grow increasingly wild as we move deeper into territory rarely traveled by royal patrols."This feels like crossing into another realm," Dominic comments as the forest changes character around us—older trees, more undergrowth, a stillness that seems almost watchful.I know what he means. There's a different quality to the air here, a sense of ancient presence. As we continue, I notice something else—a subtle resonance with my healing abilities, like a low vibration just beneath my awareness."There's power here," I murmur. "Old power."We reach the area Merrick marked as the site of the disturbance by mid-afternoon. At first glance, it appears to be nothing but dense forest, but closer inspection reveals signs of recent activity—broken branches, disturbed ea

AlexanderThe reports lie scattered across my desk, each more troubling than the last. For the past hour, I've been reading intelligence summaries from our border patrols—accounts of strangers asking questions about healing bloodlines, mapping remote areas where healing enclaves are rumored to exist, and in one case, pursuing someone through the forest near the eastern boundary."This can't be a coincidence," I tell Dominic, who stands by the window, his expression grim. "Not with the Northern delegation's sudden interest in the prophecy, their questions about Elara's abilities.""You think they're connected?" he asks, though his tone suggests he's already reached the same conclusion.I run a hand through my hair in frustration. "Three reports of strangers in Northern colors sighted near areas where healing communities might be hidden? During the exact week they arrive with prophecy texts mentioning both Elara and me?" I shake my head. "That's not a coincidence. That's coordination."D

SeleneI continue along the garden path alone, considering my next move. Securing Alexander's interest is proceeding well, despite his sister's suspicions. But I need to accelerate our connection without appearing desperate—a delicate balance.Lost in thought, I round a hedge to find Alexander himself seated on a stone bench, reading from an ancient text. He looks up, surprise flickering across his features before he composes himself and rises."Princess Selene," he greets me formally. "I didn't expect to find you here.""Your mother was giving a tour," I explain, "but was called away on royal business. She suggested I might encounter you here." I gesture to the book in his hands. "I hope I'm not interrupting.""Not at all." He hesitates, then adds, "I was actually reviewing the prophecy text your delegation brought."Perfect. "Have your scholars examined it?""They're doing so now." His penetrating gaze studies me. "It's remarkable how well-preserved it is, considering its age.""My a

SeleneI stare at my reflection in the ornate mirror, schooling my features into pleasant neutrality while my mind races. The pull of Alexander's hand away from mine at the Gala last night plays on repeat in my thoughts. The look of confusion, perhaps suspicion, in his violet eyes. I was careless. Too eager. I let my guard drop."Focus," I whisper to myself, adjusting the silver circlet nestled in my braided hair. For this morning's garden tour with the queen, I've chosen a pale blue gown that emphasizes my eyes and complements the royal colors without attempting to claim them as my own. Every detail matters. Every choice is calculated.A sharp knock sounds at my chamber door."Enter," I call, already knowing who it will be.Magistra Vega strides in, her severe gray gown and tight silver bun reflecting her uncompromising nature. My instructor since childhood, the woman who molded me into the perfect instrument for my people's ambitions."Well?" she demands without preamble. "Report."I
