Finally Done, Ex. I Am Mate, Not Maid A single step
LeahMy hand closed around the sharp ceramic shard until my knuckles went white. My eyes locked on the small window across from the fireplace. The scrape of metal against brick was growing rougher, cutting through the roar of the storm outside.A mechanical click sounded as the lock gave way. The solid iron bars, the ones no human strength should have been able to move, swung slowly outward. Someone had oiled the hinges beforehand; they opened without a sound.Freezing wind tore straight into the cabin, carrying snow that swallowed the last warmth from the fireplace. A face wrapped in a worn scarf appeared behind the window frame. It was him. The limping Omega boy from earlier.His brown eyes went wide with panic when they found me. His shaking hand reached through the frame."Hurry!" he whispered, his voice nearly lost in the wind.Before I could take a single step toward the window, my hearing caught something else. Footsteps, unusually light, too light for a camp guard, who normall
Finally Done, Ex. I Am Mate, Not Maid The Fire Inside Me (2)
LeahFailure always leaves a bitter taste, but tonight I swallowed it without complaint.I looked at the broken ceramic shard in my hand. My attempt on the window and the lock had gone nowhere. The iron bars hadn't moved a millimeter, and the oak was too thick for anything human strength could manage. Keep forcing it, and I'd only teach the guards I wasn't as broken as they wanted me to be.Weakness was still my best camouflage.I sat back down on the edge of the bed, gripping a blanket that smelled of mildew. My mind had stopped circling grief. It was mapping something else now: two clan names responsible for wrecking my life, Ironveil and Vorreth.Before, my hatred had a shape: Cain and Celeste. But the bite pulsing on my neck forced one more fact into focus. Vorreth was just as rotten. Kieran Draven could hide behind the title of a just king all he wanted; underneath it, he was an arrogant tyrant who thought marking a woman by force and dumping her in this frozen hell was his right
Finally Done, Ex. I Am Mate, Not Maid The Fire Inside Me
LEAHMy tears had dried, leaving behind a numbness that gripped my whole face. I still sat on the wooden floor, cold as a block of ice, staring blankly at the fireplace in the corner. The fire inside it was dying, down to red embers fighting the freeze pushing in from the storm outside. Same as me.For eight years I lived by a principle I believed was right. I accepted my place as an ordinary human in a wolf clan. I swallowed every insult, every condescending look, every whisper calling me the "Broken Luna." I served Cain with absolute obedience, ran his household, and above all, gave everything I had to raising Brody — a son who wasn't even my own blood.I thought if I was good enough, if I sacrificed enough, I'd earn my place. At the very least, some respect.What did I get instead?Cain Hargrove threw me out into the street that night, all because a pureblood woman offered him a fertile womb. He took my position, took my son, and let me get taken without a single real attempt to fi
Finally Done, Ex. I Am Mate, Not Maid Mark Of Betrayal
LEAHThe first thing that greeted my consciousness wasn't the sharp smell of hospital medicine, but cold air, cold enough that my breath came out in thin clouds.I forced my eyes open. My eyelids felt like lead. Instead of the blinding hospital ceiling lights, I found rough wooden beams above me, lit by the dim glow of a fireplace. Wind howled outside, slamming against the wooden walls hard enough to rattle them.Where am I?I tried to sit up. Strangely, the pain that should have been crushing my whole body was gone. The bruises on my face no longer throbbed. When my eyes landed on my wrist, the rope wound had closed completely, leaving only a thin red line behind.But one spot on my body burned.My neck. Right above my pulse, a strange, hot pulse ran through the skin, beating in rhythm with my heart. I touched it with a shaking hand. The texture was uneven. Two puncture wounds, already scarred over.My breath caught in my throat. I threw off the heavy blanket covering me and forced m
Finally Done, Ex. I Am Mate, Not Maid Pure Hatred
KieranMy father didn't waste time. In one clean motion, he set the Obsidian Chalice on the bedside table and tipped a single drop of black liquid into it. The chalice began to shudder, radiating cold that cut straight to bone."Do it now, Kieran," he said. "Your blood. Through the chalice, into her."My hand shook as I drew the silver blade from my belt. I didn't hesitate. I cut across my own palm and let the blood run into the chalice, hot and red. My blood — pure Alpha King blood — met the old energy inside and turned the liquid molten gold.This was the most honest thing I had ever given anyone. My strength, my future, everything I had, traded for one working heartbeat.I leaned over the bed and lifted Leah's head with care. Her face, calm in sleep, was an accusation I couldn't answer. I drew one long breath and pressed my mouth to her throat, over the fading mark the poison had left there.I bit down.Not to hurt her. A bond, not a wound. My teeth broke skin, and I fed the gold

Kieran The heart monitor in the Vorreth base ICU kept time like something hammering against my skull. Steady, mechanical, indifferent to what it measured. I stood rigid beside the steel bed, watching Leah under a mess of tubes and wire. Her skin had gone past pale, closer to ash. Black veins crept out from the injection site on her neck, spreading toward her chest like roots. Each time those veins pulsed, her breath caught. "Explain it to me," I said, low, without looking away from her face. "Why is she getting worse after we neutralized the poison?" Dr. Vance stood across the bed, tense, cold sweat at his temples. "Alpha, the chemical those men used wasn't an ordinary poison. It's a synthetic neurotoxin, built to destroy blood cells." Vance's voice shook. "If Miss Leah had a wolf, regeneration would have burned through it already. But she's human. Fully. Her immune system can't fight this. Her organs are failing in sequence. Her kidneys stopped five minutes ago." My jaw locked
Finally Done, Ex. I Am Mate, Not Maid Way Too Hot
His thumb traced along my jaw like he had every right to touch me. The heat coming off his skin was insane — way too hot, like this bastard was straight-up branding me with molten iron. That Lycan energy prickled across my nerves, making my pulse stutter while something between my thighs tightened

LEAH "Who sent you?" I asked low and sharp. "The one responsible for your father's death." That stopped me cold. My father, died eleven years ago in a lycan brutal attack. He was just a man who doing his job, trying to protect a warehouse full of food and medicine supplies, and those fucking mo

Eight years ago, one day after Abel died, Celeste came to us.Cain and I had just gotten married. We hadn't even had our first night together yet. Celeste showed up at our door holding a pregnancy test with two pink lines, telling us the pup she was carrying belonged to Abel.And from that day on C

LEAH "I'm so sorry for your loss, Luna." The pack doctor, a middle-aged man with glasses and hair going silver at the temples, looked at me with a pained expression. "We did everything we could. Your future pups... we couldn't save them." "Tell me you're lying. This can't be real." My voice was
