Feral Hearts Book 1: Awakening the Feral Chapter 61
Aaron didn't move.For a long moment, neither did I.Rain drummed steadily against the roof, filling the silence between us while we simply stared at each other across the threshold. Eight days. Eight days of believing we'd been abandoned by the other, and now that he was standing here, neither of us seemed to know where to begin.He looked exhausted.Not just physically.Something deeper sat behind his eyes now, carved into the hard line of his mouth, into the way his shoulders seemed to carry far more than the healing wound strapped beneath his shirt. His gaze carrying the weight of a man who'd seen hell and came back from it.I wondered if I looked any better.Probably not.We'd both apparently been surviving the same lie.Aaron's gaze drifted over me slowly. The oversized hoodie hanging from my frame. The sleeves swallowing my hands. The hollows beneath my eyes. The untouched bowl of food still sitting on the table behind me.His expression tightened almost painfully."You've lost
Feral Hearts Book 1: Awakening the Feral Chapter 60
The rain hadn't stopped in three days.It crawled across the windows in slow streaks, turned the pack grounds silver and gray beneath the moonlight, and wrapped the entire territory in something cold and miserable that matched the ache sitting permanently in my chest.I barely left the cabin anymore.What was the fucking point?Every morning started the same way now.Wake up exhausted.Force myself to breathe through the heaviness in my ribs.Tell myself I wasn't going to try again.Then somehow end up outside the healer's den anyways.Like a fucking idiot.Only to be turned away.Again.And again.And again.By the end of the week, I'd stopped asking questions entirely. The guards wouldn't meet my eyes anymore when they blocked the entrance. The healers looked uncomfortable every time they told me Aaron was resting.And Isabella—God. That bitch.I started timing my visits around her because I couldn't stand the look on her face anymore. That cold satisfaction every time she saw me w
Feral Hearts Book 1: Awakening the Feral Chapter 59
The first few days after seeing Aaron in the healer's den became a blur of half-lived moments and empty hours.I stopped leaving the cabin unless I absolutely had to.At first, people noticed.Fiorella knocked every morning, soft and hesitant, carrying food I barely touched. Elias tried once too—leaning against my doorway with forced casualness and asking if I wanted to spar, like bruises and exhaustion could somehow punch grief out of me.I told him no.After that, they started giving me space. Too much space. The silence became unbearable. When no one was talking all I could hear was my own head.He chose you.Now he's in a coma because of it.The words replayed constantly, sinking deeper every time.I stopped sleeping properly. Every time exhaustion finally dragged me under, I dreamed of blood. Black fur soaked crimson. Then I'd wake up gasping, my chest tight, my wolf clawing frantically beneath my skin while panic burned through me so hard it felt like suffocation.And every sing

They brought him back.That was the first thing I learned a couple mornings later. Not from anyone who looked me in the eye and said it. From the way the air shifted. From the way people spoke in lowered voices, like if they said it too loudly, it would become something worse than it already was.He's alive.They got him out.Barely.He won't wake up.And then—They put him under.Medically induced.The words didn't feel real as the news whispered through the pack. Not when all I could see was the moment his body jerked from the impact of the second bullet, the way his wolf refused to fall even as blood soaked into his fur.He didn't fall.But he didn't come back to me either.I sat on the edge of the bed, unmoving, my hands limp in my lap as if they didn't belong to me anymore. I hadn't done much since we returned. Hadn't eaten. Hadn't slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I was back there. Watching him take something meant for me.A soft knock sounded at the door.I didn't respond.It
Feral Hearts Book 1: Awakening the Feral Chapter 57
By the time the gates came into view, I felt nothing.Not relief.Not safety.Not even fear.Just... empty.The car slowed as we approached the perimeter, tires crunching over gravel, the sound unnaturally loud in the silence that had settled between us. No one had spoken in miles. Not since I asked if he was coming back.Not since no one answered.My head rested against the window, the cool glass doing nothing to ground me. Not the way he could. Trees blurred past in streaks of dark green and black, the world moving too fast while I felt like I was stuck somewhere far behind it.Somewhere in that courtyard.Somewhere with him.The gates opened before we even fully stopped.They were waiting.Of course they were.Figures stood clustered just inside the boundary—familiar shapes, familiar scents—and something in my chest twisted faintly at the sight. I should have felt something stronger. Relief. Recognition. Belonging.But all I could think was—He's not here.The car rolled to a stop.

The sound of the gunshot didn't fade.It didn't stop ringing my ears. It didn't disappear into the chaos like everything else.It just stayed in my mind. Lodged somewhere deep inside my skull, replaying over and over and over again until I couldn't tell if it was still happening or if it had already happened and I was just... stuck there."Aaron—!"I didn't recognize my own voice.It tore out of me raw, jagged, like something had reached into my chest and ripped my lungs apart. My entire body lurched forward on instinct, my wolf slamming so hard against my ribs it knocked the breath from me.He took it.He took it for me.I saw it—the exact moment the bullet hit him. The way his massive body jerked, just slightly. The way his momentum faltered for half a second.Half a second.That was all it took."No—no no no no—"My hands clawed at the air, at Ronan, at anything that would let me get back to him, back towards the battle and not away. I didn't even realize I was fighting until Rona
Feral Hearts Book 1: Awakening the Feral Chapter 4
The clearing empties slowly. Wolves drift back toward training circles and patrol routes, the rhythm of the territory resuming as if nothing beneath it trembles. I don't realize how long I've been standing there until the ache in my ribs sharpens again. "You look like you're about to collapse." Fi
Feral Hearts Book 1: Awakening the Feral Chapter 3
The pack wakes before the sun fully rises. Not loudly. Not chaotically. But with purpose. The air shifts first — scents thickening as bodies move between cabins, patrol routes refresh, hierarchy reasserts itself in quiet dominance displays. Smoke curls from central fire pits. Boots press into da
Feral Hearts Book 1: Awakening the Feral Chapter 2
Warmth is the first thing I notice. Not numbness. Not pain. Not cold damp earth or matted leaves. Warmth. It wraps around me like heavy wool, pressing against my skin, seeping into every one of my bones. My body feels weightless and impossibly heavy at the same time. Then the pain returns. Dull
Feral Hearts Book 1: Awakening the Feral Chapter 1
Pain. It was all I felt. Everything hurt. Breathing hurt. Moving hurt. Thinking hurt. Existing... hurt. I tasted blood. It coated the back of my tongue, metallic and thick, sliding down my throat with every swallow. I tried not to. It hurt too much. The forest floor was cold beneath me. Damp. T
