MY STEPBROTHER ALPHA'S DIRTY OBSESSION Chapter Sixty-Six: Dawn at the Tree Line
Kael’s POVDawn comes gray and cold and completely indifferent to everything that happened the night before. That's the thing about mornings, They arrive regardless.I'm standing at the eastern wall when the light begins to separate itself from the dark. That particular moment when the sky stops being one thing and becomes the beginning of another. Gray bleeding into the lighter gray that eventually becomes color.Damien is to my left.Aldric to my right.The three of us standing at the wall the way we've stood at walls before. Looking at the territory beyond it. Looking at what's out there and what it intends.Deveraux's camp is visible now that the light has returned. Four wolves. Same as before. The repositioned camp on the eastern face of the tree line that puts them closer to the passage approach from outside, Except. "He knows," Damien says quietly.I look at the camp.He's right. The four visible wolves are positioned differently than yesterday. Yesterday they had the loose arr
MY STEPBROTHER ALPHA'S DIRTY OBSESSION Chapter Sixty-Five: What the Pack Feels
Damien’s POVI feel it before anyone tells me. Standing at the eastern perimeter with four wolves on the drainage channel and six on the wall above me and Deveraux's repositioned camp somewhere in the dark tree line ahead. Watching. Waiting. Holding the territory the way Kael asked me to hold it.Then something shifts, not in the forest, not on the perimeter, but inside. A change in the quality of the air. Like pressure equalizing after a long imbalance. The specific sensation of something that has been wrong for a very long time becoming right in a single quiet moment. I know what it means before I understand it.The seal held. I stand at the eastern wall and feel it settle through the territory the way weather settles: gradual, complete. The particular change that moves through ground and stone and the roots of old trees before it reaches the wolves standing on the surface.Silver Crest feels different. Not dramatically, subtly. Like a sound you've been hearing so long you stopped n
MY STEPBROTHER ALPHA'S DIRTY OBSESSION Chapter Sixty-Four: The Question
Kael’s POVThe chamber disappears.One moment, stone floor beneath my feet, old light pressing against my face, and Serena's hand in mine.The next moment none of that. Not darkness, not silence, but something that exists before both of those things. Before the categories that make darkness and silence possible. A space that doesn't have a floor or walls or ceiling, not because they're absent but because those concepts don't apply here. I can still feel her hand.That matters more than I can explain. Everything else is gone, but her hand is still in mine, and the bond is still in my chest, and those two things are the fixed points I build everything else around in the thirty seconds that follow.The presence arrives. I don't have a better word for it. It doesn't announce itself. Doesn't build. Doesn't approach from any direction. It's simply, suddenly, the most real thing in the space, the way a mountain is the most real thing in a landscape. Not threatening. Not welcoming, just what
MY STEPBROTHER ALPHA'S DIRTY OBSESSION Chapter Sixty-Three: The Descent
Serena’s POVThe cold hits first, not the cold of winter or stone or buried earth. Something older than all of those. The cold of a place that has never been warm. That was built in darkness and has been sitting in it so long it has forgotten that warmth exists as anything other than a rumor from above. I keep moving.The torch Kael holds throws a circle of light that the darkness presses against from every side. Not aggressively. Patiently. The way deep water presses against the hull of a boat. Constant. Indifferent. Simply present in the way that things are present when they have been there longer than anything else and expect to remain.The walls narrow slightly as we descend. I noticed it the first time, but it's more pronounced now. The passage was built for purpose, not comfort. Someone who understood exactly what was down here and had no interest in making the approach feel welcoming, Smart.The mark under my collarbone is building. Not the sharp, demanding flair from the first
MY STEPBROTHER ALPHA'S DIRTY OBSESSION Chapter Sixty-Two: The Last Hours
Kael’s POVDamien finds me at the north wall. I've been standing here for twenty minutes. Not from indecision. Not from fear. Just standing in the cold afternoon air, looking out at the tree line where Deveraux's camp sits, invisible but present the way all dangerous things are. Felt rather than seen. Known rather than confirmed.He stops beside me.Doesn't speak immediately.That's one of the things I've never said out loud about Damien. He understands silence better than most wolves understand conversation. He knows when words are the wrong instrument for a moment and has the discipline to wait for a better one. We stand at the wall together.The tree line is still. "His camp moved," Damien says eventually. I look at him. "Two hours ago," he says. "The northern watch reported it. The four visible wolves broke camp and moved east." He pauses. "Not off the territory. Just repositioned.""To the eastern boundary," I say. "Near the old drainage channel." He holds my gaze. "The one we co
MY STEPBROTHER ALPHA'S DIRTY OBSESSION Chapter Sixty-One: Before the Descent
Maya’s POVI've been in the healing room since before the pack woke up.Not because there's a patient. Not because anything urgent arrived in the night requiring my hands and my knowledge and the particular focused calm my mother spent years teaching me to find under pressure.Because I needed somewhere to be that wasn't the corridor outside Serena and Kael's room where I would have stood uselessly listening to the quiet and worrying about things I can't fix with herbs or knowledge or loyalty.The healing room gives my hands something to do.I've prepared everything twice.Wound treatment. Burn salves. The specific compound my mother developed for wolves who have been exposed to sustained supernatural energy and come back with their systems overtaxed and their wolves confused about where the threat went. I've made enough of that last one to treat four wolves because I don't know what coming back from a threshold looks like and I'd rather have too much than not enough.I've laid out cl
MY STEPBROTHER ALPHA'S DIRTY OBSESSION Chapter Two: A Bond That Shouldn't Exist
Serena’s POV"Say that again." My voice sounds strange. Distant. Like it belongs to someone else.Kael's grip on my wrist doesn't loosen. His golden eyes bore into mine, and I see something there I didn't expect. Fear, not of me, of what he just said."You heard me." His jaw tightens. "You're my ma
MY STEPBROTHER ALPHA'S DIRTY OBSESSION Chapter One: The Wrong Mate
Serena's POV"You married him without telling me?"The words leave my mouth before I can stop them. My hands shake as I grip the car seat. Outside, iron gates close behind us with a crash that echoes through the night. My mother keeps her eyes forward. "Serena, please. Not now.""When, then?" My vo
MY STEPBROTHER ALPHA'S DIRTY OBSESSION Chapter Twelve: The Cost of Silence
Kael’s POV"She's gone."The scout's words echo through the hall like a death sentence. I don't move. Don't blink. Don't breathe. "Say that again."The scout drops to one knee. His head bows low. "Maya, Alpha. She left the mansion two hours ago. We tracked her scent to the eastern river. It crosses
MY STEPBROTHER ALPHA'S DIRTY OBSESSION Chapter Nine: The Game Begins
Serena’s POV"You're scared of me." The words leave my mouth before I can stop them.Damien pauses mid-step. Slowly, he turns back to face me. The hallway is empty now. Just us. His smile is still there, but something behind it shifts. "Scared?" He tilts his head. "That's an interesting word.""You
