Dustan’s POV

I was back in my chair.

The same chair. The same wheels. The same prison I'd cursed a thousand times in the dark of sleepless nights.

But something was different now.Me sitting there was voluntary.

My hands rested on the armrests.The skin was clean.I'd washed the blood from my fingers an hour ago.

Tavish paced.

Back and forth, back and forth.His jaw was tight. His hands kept clenching and unclenching at his sides.

Roric stood by the window. His arms were crossed over his chest.

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Silence

    Dustan’s POVI have no idea why I agreed to this dinner… I sat at the head of the table, my wheelchair positioned at the perfect angle to observe everything while appearing disinterested. Ruth was on my left, chattering away about nothing in particular. Cassian was on my right, his posture rigid, his eyes constantly scanning the room like he expected an attack at any moment.And Elara was across from me.She hadn't looked at me once since we'd sat down.Not once.She stared at her food with the kind of intensity usually reserved for life-or-death situations. Her fingers absent mindedly curled a strand of her hair. She was lost in thought—I could see it in the way her eyes glazed over, in the way she moved her spoon through her soup without actually eating any of it.I watched her from the corner of my eyes, my heart aching with a pain I couldn't quite name.She'd seen me with Lyria. I knew she had. The way she'd fled from the garden, the way she'd refused to look at me now—it all po

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Break in

    Elara's POVI dropped down on the floor, my back pressed against the door, my body wracked with sobs I couldn't control. The tears wouldn't stop coming and I hated every time I thought I'd cried myself dry, another wave would hit me, and I'd be gasping for air all over again.I could identify my pattern, I was almost understanding my trigger… it wasn't just Lyria. I mean it was, but more than her, it was a culmination of all the betrayals… Of all people. Of all the women in the world, he had to have his eyes on her? Not that having his eyes on any other woman would make it any less difficult…but this one person who had stolen everything from me—my father's love, my betrothed, my dignity. And now she was trying to steal my husband too. Not that I gave much fuck about this husband… that's what I kept saying myself. We had sex… it was just because we were mates… the attraction was too much… That was it. There was nothing emotional…nothing… no affection. I pressed my hands against my

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Alone

    Elara’s POVI was absolutely mad at him.Furious. Seething. Ready to claw his eyes out with my bare hands.The way he'd questioned me about the ‘wolf in the woods’—the way he'd looked at me like I was some kind of traitor, some kind of unfaithful wife who couldn't be trusted… He had no right. No right at all.He was literally fucking a whore on our wedding night. That made me wonder… were we really married? Our vows were ‘exchanged' as such. We just signed papers. I didn't even read through the entire thing. It was all bullshit about being a ‘perfect, little, good wife'! I hadn't given it much before… but now… But now, as I stormed through the corridors, my anger slowly began to cool. And in its place, something else emerged.Doubt.Maybe I should tell Dustan. Maybe I should swallow my pride and just... tell him the truth.About Kael. About the connection I felt. About the impossible, inexplicable fact that I seemed to have another mate apart from my husband. It didn't make sense

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Worst

    Dustan’s POVI stared at Lyria. Thank the Moon, my mind was still struggling to process what I'd just heard… otherwise I would have just shredded the trespasser on the spot. Did she really just—did she actually eavesdrop on us—"The hell are you doing snooping around in my garden?" I growled, my voice low and irritated. "Did I not forbid you? Do you have a death wish?"But unlike before, Lyria seemed completely unfazed by my roar. She took a couple of shy steps forward, swaying her hips as she played with the strand of her hair that she was tucking behind her ear. Her smile was infuriatingly smug."Alpha," she purred, her voice dripping with false innocence. "I couldn't not hear this conversation. It was quite... revealing."She reached out and touched my arm, her fingers squeezing my bicep. I flinched at the contact, my skin crawling at the audacity. "Get your hands off me," I snapped.She ignored me completely, leaning forward until her lips were almost brushing my ear. Her brea

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Not that simple

    Dustan's POVThe All Alpha meet had been a disaster.Three hours of arguing, posturing, and thinly veiled insults. Alphas from every territory had gathered in the great hall, their egos filling the space more than their efforts.They'd talked in circles, each one more concerned with protecting their own borders than with the larger threat."Your security is lax, Cassian. That's why they got through.""Our patrols are stretched thin. Maybe if the western packs contributed more—""We've already given more than our share. It's not our fault your wolves can't handle a few rogues."On and on it went. Accusations. Deflections. Blame shifting.And through it all, I sat in my wheelchair, gritting my teeth, trying not to lose my temper. They looked at me with pity or contempt—I couldn't decide which was worse. The crippled Alpha. The broken wolf. The man who couldn't even protect his own mate.I'd tried to contribute. Tried to share what I'd learned from the files Cassian had given me. But my

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Motive

    Dustan's POVI didn't sleep that night.Elara had been placed in our chambers under heavy guard, Cassian's men were posted at every entrance. I'd wanted to stay with her, to watch over her, to make sure she didn't disappear again. But something had stopped me. The memory of that kiss? The way she'd melted into another man's arms? I don't know. I just didn't want to face her alone. So I'd retreated to my study, nursing a glass of whiskey I hadn't touched, staring at the walls until dawn broke.The morning light crept through the windows. I rubbed my eyes, my body aching from the shift the night before. The Rage wolf was still there, coiled just beneath the surface, waiting for an excuse to break free.I heard the sounds before I saw them. The clatter of armor. The bark of orders. The hurried footsteps of servants running back and forth. Too much noise at the break of dawn could only mean one thing, preparation. Something was happening.I wheeled myself to the window and looked down

    Dustan's POVRoric wheeled me away from the corridor where Elara had just hurried off. I kept my face blank, my eyes forward, my hands resting on the armrests of the chair. The mask was firmly in place.But inside, something twisted.I had seen her face when she looked at me. The way her smile had

    Elara's POVI closed the door after shoving Lyria out and leaned against it.My forehead pressed to the cool wood. My hands were shaking. My heart was pounding. My entire body thrummed with the aftermath of what I'd just done.I'd finally confronted her! Finally I had given her the taste of her own

    Elara’s POV“ I ,umm, me? For lunch? ”“ Yeah, you, for lunch!” The words left my mouth before I fully decided to speak them. I could barely hide my disdain for her. Lyria paused at the threshold. Her hand rested on the doorframe, lavender silk pooling around her fingers. She turned back with tha

    Dustan’s POVI didn't think.That was the first mistake.The second was dropping the knife. The third was letting them see my face—see whatever expression had taken up residence there while Elara's voice echoed through my skull like a scream in an empty cathedral.But I was already moving.My hands
