CIARA

The raw alpha energy that had pulled Hayes to his feet burned out as quickly as it had ignited.

After crushing the first rogue's skull, his knees suddenly buckled. The massive, bleeding gashes across his chest let out a violent rush of dark red fluid, his pitch-black eyes rolling back into his head. With a heavy, devastating thud, and collapsed completely onto the road, sliding into absolute unconsciousness.

"Hayes!" I screamed, dragging myself out of the mangled SUV on my hands and knees

    CIARA"Killan!" I screamed toward the hallway. "Killan, get the medical team up here now!"Footsteps thundered down the hallway. The handle rattled violently against the deadbolt."Ciara! Open the door!" Killan’s voice barked from the other side. "He’s blocking the door! He’s completely unconscious!""I can't!" I shouted back, grinding my teeth as I wedged my knee between Hayes’s thighs to hoist his weight. "He's too heavy!""Move his shoulder to the left!" Killan ordered, slamming his weight against the wood. "I'm going to take the door down!"I braced my bare feet against the floorboards, digging my nails into the uninjured muscles of Hayes's upper back. With a guttural cry, I twisted my torso, dragging his massive frame away from the deadbolt. His boot scraped heavily against the wood before his shoulder finally slid past the frame.I lunged for the lock, twisting the heavy iron key just as Killan kicked the door inward.The door flew open, and Killan rushed into the room with two

    CIARAHis bare chest was heaving, the deep, jagged claw marks from the ambush leaking fresh, dark red blood down his rigid stomach. The white medical bandages were dragging in the dirt behind him . He didn't look at Thomas, who was choking on his own breath against the gravel. He reached the wooden post in massive strides. Without a single word, his large, blood-stained hands gripped the iron chains. With a guttural, primal roar, he yanked his arms back.The heavy metal links didn't just snap—they shattered, the iron rings flying across the courtyard as he tore the bindings straight out of the wood.The sudden release made my knees buckle, but I didn't hit the dirt. Hayes’s massive arm caught me around the waist instantly, yanking my body hard against his bare, burning chest. He squeezed me against his rigid frame so tightly it bruised my ribs, his chest heaving violently against my shoulder blades as his head buried into the crook of my neck, inhaling my scent like a starving beast

The massive, bleeding gashes across his chest let out a violent rush of dark red fluid, his pitch-black eyes rolling back into his head. With a heavy, devastating thud, and collapsed completely onto the road, sliding into absolute unconsciousness."Hayes!" I screamed, dragging myself out of the mangled SUV on my hands and knees.I scrambled over the rough asphalt, my knees scraping against the gravel as I threw myself over his chest. I pressed my hands hard against the deep gashes, trying to stem the dark red flow, but the hot fluid just pushed through my fingers, soaking the emerald green velvet of my dress until it stuck to my skin like a shroud."Wake up!" I choked out, shaking his massive, unresponsive shoulders. "Hayes, damn it, open your eyes!"Before I could even find his pulse, the blinding high beams of three

    CIARAThe heavy, dead weight of Hayes’s body pressed me flat against the blood-soaked leather seat. The metallic scent of his alpha blood was entirely overwhelming, soaking through my emerald dress and sticking to my skin. Outside, the heavy crunch of boots on gravel grew louder, accompanied by the low, guttural growls of Marcus’s men."Check the driver's side!" a rough voice barked from just outside the shattered window. "The Alpha’s car is completely totaled. They didn't survive that blast.""I don't care about the driver," Marcus's voice boomed, closer now, dripping with absolute malice. "Find the Riverstone omega. She’s the prize. Without her, Hayes has no bloodline to pass down his title."My heart hammered violently against my ribs. I couldn't shift. I didn't have claws, or fangs, or the raw muscle of a warrior wolf. My inner wolf was pacing frantically behind my ribs, whimpering in terror, completely trapped inside a human body that couldn't defend itself. I was entirely an un-

    CIARAHis mouth slammed onto mine in a brutal, possessive kiss, his tongue tearing past my teeth to claim me completely while his wolf howled in victory inside my head. The raw, feral dominance of the bond flared with a violent heat that set my entire bloodline on fire.I couldn't move. My wrists were trapped, and his massive body crushed me down into the cushions, his heavy chest pressing so hard into my bare collarbones that the heavy silver Blackthorn crest bit sharply into my skin.“He is marking our scent over theirs,” my wolf whispered frantically behind my ribs, her paws pacing my veins as she surrendered to his weight. “The Alpha is claiming his territory.”Hayes groaned roughly into my mouth, his grip on my waist tightening until it was bruising, pulling me so close that our heartbeats thudded against each other in a frantic, wild rhythm."You are mine, Ciara," he growled against my lips, his breath burning hot. "No one else looks at you. No one else touches you.""Hayes, you

    CIARAThe tension in the ballroom was so thick it felt like sand in my throat. Every eye followed us as Hayes steered me toward the long banquet table at the center of the hall. His hand remained wrapped securely around my waist, his fingers digging into my hip bone through the velvet green fabric, a constant, bruising reminder of who held the leash tonight.Marcus had stepped back, but the rest of the alliance wasn’t backing down so easily. High-ranking alphas from four different territories sat along the perimeter, their scents clashing in a suffocating mix of burnt gunpowder, stale alcohol, and raw dominance."Alpha Hayes," a smooth, calculating voice called from the head of the table.It was Alpha Raymond of the Bloodmoon pack—our host for the evening. He sat back in his heavy leather chair, swirling a glass of dark liquor, his eyes sharp and completely predatory as they tracked the heavy silver Blackthorn crest resting against my bare collarbones."Raymond," Hayes responded, his

    ~CIARA~Tomorrow was the day my life would end. And the text on my screen did a great job reminding of it. “Miss, your coffee’s getting cold.”My head snapped up to meet a brunette’s warm gaze. She pushed the cup forward until it touched my palm. “You’ve been standing here for several minutes. Ar

    ~HAYES~ Ciara nodded slowly, but I saw the defiance in her eyes. Most people lowered their heads when I threatened them. Most people trembled or obeyed or submitted because they literally had no choice. But not her.Even now, standing with her back pressed against the railing while my hand held h

    ~CIARA~The maid’s face drained of color so fast, it almost made me regret asking. Her lips parted slowly, but no words came out. She looked like my request had triggered a trauma she was yet to recover from. She pulled her hand away from mine. “I..I can’t.”I should have dropped it. She looked un
