LENA

Slowly, I reached for the plate and across the table, I could have sworn I saw Adrian go completely still, it wasn’t something dramatic because he didn’t stand up nor did he say anything but something about his expression changed.

For a brief moment, his attention locked onto the tart in my hand and the look in his eyes made my stomach tighten.

I glanced down at the dessert, then at Cara, then back at Adrian. What in the world is happening?

“Thank you,” I said carefully.

    LENAI couldn’t see Kael’s face from this angle, but the silence that followed was enough to make my skin prickle.Raven tilted her head slightly. “You have guards outside her door.”“She was poisoned.”“And now she’s home.” Raven’s tone stayed light, but there was something under it now, something too careful. “I’m only saying the house has noticed.”Kael stepped slightly to the side, blocking her line of sight to my room without making it obvious.A very Kael move.“She can have whatever security I decide.”

  • THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA   Chapter 63: Hush

    LENAThe words hit the room like another break in the glass and Kael went very still, he didn’t look surprised or confused, he just stared at me. My breath caught as realization dawned on me. “You do know something,” I whispered.His eyes closed for one brief second and when he opened them again, they were unreadable. “I know enough to say this isn’t normal.”I laughed once, shaky and humorless. “That’s the least shocking information I’ve heard all day.”Kael didn’t smile. “I don’t know what it is yet,” he said. “And I’m not going to guess until I do.”“Yet?” The word slipped out before I could stop it.His gaze sharpened. “What?”“You said yet.”Kael rose slowly to his feet which was usually a very bad sign.I stared up at him. “Kael.”“You need rest.”I blinked. “I’m sorry, what?”“You heard me.”“No, I heard you trying to end this conversation without answering the question.”“You’re exhausted.”“And apparently setting household objects on fire, so forgive me if sleep isn’t my top

  • THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA   Chapter 62: Kindling

    LENA“Lena.” His voice cut through the panic like a blade. “Look at me.”I did. His hand came up to cup the side of my face, his thumb pressing just beneath my cheekbone, grounding and warm and horribly steady compared to the chaos ripping through me.“Breathe.”I tried but heat pulsed again and behind us, the silver tray on the bed blackened at the edges. The curtains nearest the fireplace stirred though no windows were open. I could hear the faint, ugly crackle of fabric sizzling somewhere in the room.My nails dug into Kael’s sweater. “Make it stop.”Something in his expression changed, I had seen Kael angry, cold, violent, possessive and annoyed but I had never seen him look afraid.But there it was now, buried deep and hard and quickly masked, gone so fast I might have imagined it if his grip on me hadn’t tightened.“Listen to me,” he said, voice low and absolute. “You’re going to breathe with me.”Another pulse of heat rolled through me, worse this time, and a framed photograph

  • THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA   Chapter 61: Ignition

    LENA“How do you feel?”I leaned back against the pillows with exaggerated dignity. “Like I’ve survived a summit, an attempted murder, and a four-hour drive with you interrogating me every ten minutes.”“So not well.”“I’m doing much better now that no one is asking me whether I’m dizzy every thirty seconds.”He looked unimpressed. “Are you dizzy?”I closed my eyes and Mrs. Eliara made a small, betrayed sound. “Kael.”“What?” He asked with

  • THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA   Chapter 60: Embers

    LENAComing back to the pack house should have felt like relief and in some ways, it did because the moment I stepped inside, the cold mountain air of the summit disappeared behind me, replaced by warmth, polished wood, and the familiar scent of cedar and coffee drifting from somewhere deeper in the house. The floors no longer echoed with the footsteps of nervous nobles and armed summit guards. There were no silver trays, no whispering council members, no poisoned desserts waiting under crystal covers.Just the pack house that one felt like home. Home? Coming from me who wanted out days ago.I was getting far too comfortable with that word.Mrs. Eliara, naturally

  • THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA   Chapter 59: Followed

    LENA“I think something is wrong with me.” The words settled heavily into the carriage.Maren’s expression softened immediately. “Lena—”“No.” I laughed once, though there was no humor in it. “Think about it. People don’t just touch dresses and melt carriage doors.”Kael’s voice was very calm. “You didn’t melt the carriage.”I turned to him. “There is literally a mark in the metal.”“A line,” he corrected.“That is not he

  • THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA   Chapter 50: Hunt

    LENAFor one terrible moment after reading the note, I couldn’t breathe. The words blurred beneath my fingers, then sharpened again as though my eyes refused to decide whether they wanted to understand what I was seeing.‘If the wolfsbane didn’t work, perhaps the next thing will.’My stomach turned

  • THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA   Chapter 49: Plain Sight

    LENAThe summit grounds were bright beneath the morning sun, but whatever calm the day might have offered was ruined by the fact that Kael was indeed following me but it was close enough to make it obvious to everyone else, but close enough that every time I slowed down or turned around, there he w

  • THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA   Chapter 42: Favor

    LENAThe next morning, I woke up expecting disaster because at this point, it had become a habit.Ever since arriving at the summit, every day seemed determined to find new and creative ways to embarrass me.Unfortunately, when I opened my eyes, nothing terrible happened which somehow felt suspicio

  • THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA   Chapter 40: Judgment

    LENAI did not sleep and no matter how hard I tried, the sleep wasn’t forthcoming so I spent the entire night staring at the ceiling and contemplating every possible reason the summit council wanted to speak with me.Maybe I had accidentally broken some ancient summit law, maybe I wasn’t supposed t
