The bond snaps taut, then starts to fray.

I feel her slipping away from me like water through my fingers. My body jerks forward, every instinct screaming at me to reach her, to hold on, to refuse what’s happening.

“No,” I rasp, stumbling toward where Daciana lies on the ground. Blood stains her lips. Her chest is barely moving. “No, no, no—”

Then Hera’s voice cuts through the chaos: “…my daughter.”

My head whips toward the gypsy witch, and for a moment, everything stops. The battle raging aroun

    The Mythguard expects our best behavior then puts strikes on our record for aspects of ourselves we can’t help,” David shot back, speaking swiftly on my heels. “Wilderness is savage, that’s what we are. Not all of us are lucky enough to be marked by a fated mate so that we can be in control of our beasts. My son—if he were to lose control of his wolf and kill three deer instead of one, do you think he would deserve a penalty for overhunting? Your friend Gavin, had he lost control and raided a campsite for their food—does he deserve to be euthanized for it?”“If the actions of shifters endanger those around us, then yes. They deserve to be corrected,” I reasoned.David sneered at me. “This coming from a man who has never had the guts to give his wolf the reins.”“My wolf comes out only when I need it to,” I said harshly. “An Alpha should have control over his facilities in excess.”“And yet you align yourself with a juvenile prone to temper tantrums,” said David.“Gavin is marked. He’

  • Claimed by the Ruthless Alpha Prince   Chapter 273

    By the time evening rolled around, I had heard of Aislin’s onslaught against Sebastian. He’d confessed with some measure of guilt that he had taken it upon himself to visit Grandbay and speak to Muriel on behalf of the Mythguard, leaving annoyance to fester quietly behind my lips. I didn’t dare express what I felt about this. Even though I was the Alpha of Eastpeak and a correspondent of the Mythguard, Sebastian still had superiority over me. The Mythguard could very well make decisions without consulting me if they felt that was best, and apparently, they had decided among themselves that it was worth attempting a visit to Grandbay without me giving approval of the idea. Sebastian had to learn the hard way exactly how unwelcome the Mythguard was. It didn’t surprise me that Aislin had lost her temper like that. She was too foolish and aggressive to ever be a legitimate candidate to work with the Mythguard. Despite all the attempts she’d made to join the Mythguard, I had never once vou

    But I had lost the clarity in my chest. The transformation once more perforated my lungs and suffocated me, ripping away what satisfaction I might have felt from becoming a wolf. I gurgled with pain and ended up strewn in the grass, panting, tasting blood.It felt too much like the Moondream.Growling to myself, I finally managed to stand up, but what hopes I had to take off into the woods and isolate myself were dashed by the sound of an engine approaching the cabin. I watched a car pull up and tensed, recognizing the man who stepped out, surprised at the sheer gall he had to be here. It was Sebastian Hicks, the man from the Mythguard.He spied me immediately and waved. “Aislin Mundy, right?”I raised my head. Defiant thunder rumbled between my teeth, my tail lifting over my hips.“I don’t want any trouble,” said Sebastian. “I was just wondering if I could speak to Muriel.”Too bad I was a wolf, or else I would have told him to fuck off. Gavin and I might not have ended up with a fa

    To say I was surprised to wake up alive would be an understatement.A sharp gasp followed my eyes peeling open, my body shuddering against a tidal wave of pain once more renewed with my consciousness. Six hands took hold of me, clutching my arms, supporting my neck, brushing strands of red hair away from my brow as voices slurred above. I didn’t know who it was leaning over me, but visions of the overcast sky and the ache in my body reminded me of what I had been doing before this—I’d been fighting someone. Choking. Losing consciousness. The hands all around me rekindled those same sensations of being trapped, and my first instinct was that it was Niko bearing down on me. Disoriented, I pushed them away and tried to sit up.“Aislin, relax. You’re alright,” crooned a gentle voice near my ear.An even more familiar voice sighed with relief. “My baby girl! Are you okay? We were so worried!”They weren’t enough to soothe me, not when the clench in my chest made me feel like I was drownin

    Here, I’ll set it up.” I took the phone, opened an app and started recording on the audio feed from the mic. “Will you be okay to drive?”Taylor leaned his head back and sighed. “Yeah. I’ll make it.”“Okay. Meet back at my place.”I shut his door for him, waiting until he’d turned the van back onto the road before wrapping up the phone in the plastic bag and nestling it among the reeds in the ditch. It was a long shot that we’d get anything useful in the few hours of battery life that the phone had while recording, but it was worth trying anyway. If we could get any kind of insight on how, where, or when Dalesbloom intended to attack Grandbay, we could use it to our advantage.The wet wind brought the sickly-sweet scents of Dalesbloom to me as I returned to my car. I paused to look into the trees but saw nobody. If they came back here to investigate, there was a good chance they’d find the phone, so I could only hope that I hid it well enough.A lot weighed on my mind as I drove back

    After meeting with the supplier, still unaccustomed to the discomfort in my chest and trying not to be bothered by the lack of follow-up from Aislin, I called Taylor, curious about what he might have overheard. But there was no answer from him either. That didn’t bode well. Knowing where he had parked, I drove the ten minutes from Eastpeak to the outskirts of Dalesbloom, toward the heart of the forest where the manor sat. Driving through Dalesbloom wasn’t the dangerous part. It was stopping, setting foot on the asphalt that they laid claim to, that could get me in trouble. It didn’t used to be this way. Years ago, David would have welcomed me into his territory, but I understood the decision I made had placed me on bad terms with the Hexen Alpha. I couldn’t help but wonder if he would have made an enemy of me regardless, if he’d dominated Grandbay and then found himself greedy for more.Up the road, I spied Taylor’s dark blue van pulled onto the shoulder. The driver’s door was wide op
