Theirs To Possess And Ruin 200: A Favor
Vivienne pov. The twins worked quickly. Maya’s magic moved through my chest, cooling the burning in my throat, while Mara focused on my stomach and the faint pulse of the pup. I closed my eyes, too exhausted to resist when Kane’s hand found mine. Asher sat near my head, brushing damp hair away from my face, while Ryker remained at my other side with his palm against my shoulder. Dante stood close, silent and rigid, every part of him waiting for the twins to speak.“The pup?” Kane finally asked.Mara didn’t answer immediately, and his grip on my hand tightened.“The pup is still there,” she said at last. “The pulse is frightened and the mother’s distress affected it, but it’s holding.”All four men exhaled at once and I could feel the relief through the bond and I kinda feel guilty for making them worry too much and I feel stupid for endangering my baby.I opened my eyes. “And me?”Maya gave me an angry look that was softened by tears. “You pushed your body too far. The coughing came
Theirs To Possess And Ruin 199: Betrayal
Vivienne POVFor several seconds after Dante stopped speaking, I heard nothing.Not the quiet crackle of the fire, not the faint movement of the curtains, not even the steady breathing of the four men surrounding me. All I could hear was the violent pounding of my own heart and the same sentence repeating in my head until it stopped sounding like words.It had all been planned.Zach’s arrival in Shadowcrest had been planned. His sudden return to my life, the timing, the way he inserted himself between me and the men, the tension he created, the fake death in Asher’s room, the dagger, the blood, the body and the burial. Every single detail had been placed carefully, like pieces on a board, and I had walked through them exactly the way he expected me to. I had grieved him. I had broken apart for him. I had turned on Asher because of him. I had nearly destroyed the fragile bond growing between me and the men because I believed someone I loved had been murdered.And he had been alive the

Kane’s pov. Ryker moved closer and examined him without touching. “A binding.”“Spell?” I asked.“Possibly. Or a blood oath.”Asher rose slowly, all amusement gone. “Then someone expected them to be caught.”That was the worst part.This had not been a rushed cover-up. Whoever arranged Zach’s false burial had prepared several layers of protection. The body had passed medical inspection, the scent and blood had matched, the burial workers had been compromised and even their ability to respond to Alpha commands had been destroyed. Now there appeared to be another failsafe inside them, one triggered by the attempt to reveal the truth.Asher closed the tool case halfway, then paused. “If there is a spell, pain may weaken their focus enough to create a gap.”Ryker considered it. “Or it may trigger the binding faster.”“We don’t know until we test it.”The eldest prisoner finally lifted his head. “Please.”Asher turned toward him. “That depends entirely on what comes after that word.”The
Theirs To Possess And Ruin 197: Buried Secrets
Kane POVThe room smelled of fear, sweat and the faint bitter trace of wolfsbane.Five men sat restrained before us, their wrists bound behind heavy iron chairs while silver-lined chains kept their wolves suppressed. They had all been involved in Zach’s burial, directly or indirectly. One prepared the body after the autopsy, another transported it to the sacred grounds, two performed the burial rites and the last one signed the final record confirming the grave had been sealed according to werewolf tradition. Every one of them had sworn that the body lowered into the earth belonged to Zach, and until recently, we had believed them because there had been no reason not to. We had seen the corpse. The healers had confirmed death. The blood, scent, facial features and magical signature had all matched. The body had remained under Shadowcrest control from the moment it left the room until it reached the burial grounds, yet Zach was alive, walking around in secret meetings as if his grave
Theirs To Possess And Ruin 196: Finding Him
Vivienne. Kane moved closer, his anger rolling through the bond like heat and I swallowed back my pain, “We don’t know yet.”“I need to know.”“You will.”I laughed bitterly. “Everyone keeps saying that.”“Because it is true,” Dante said.I looked at him sharply. “Is it? Because I thought I knew Zach. I thought I knew what he was to me. I defended him. Trusted him. Loved him like family. Even when he changed, even when things became ugly, some part of me still believed the person I knew was inside there somewhere. Was all of that fake?”The question broke something in my voice.Ryker’s expression softened, but he did not insult me with an easy answer. “Maybe not all of it.”“How would we know?”“We don’t,” he admitted.That honesty hurt, but it also kept me from turning away.I covered my face with both hands, and Asher shifted closer until his shoulder pressed gently against my knee. Kane’s hand moved from my shoulder to the back of my neck, steady and warm. Dante remained in front
Theirs To Possess And Ruin 195: Alive Enough to Betray Me
Vivienne POVI was halfway through reviewing a report on the eastern supply routes when the door opened without a knock, and before I even turned around, I already knew who it was. The bond gave them away immediately. Four familiar presences entered the room together, heavy with tension, concern and something else they were trying very hard to keep from me. I stared at the figures moving across my laptop screen for another second before slowly closing it, then turned in my chair and looked at them.“Is knocking forbidden in this house,” I asked, “or have all four of you collectively decided doors are decorative?”They stopped.All of them.Dante was the first to look guilty, though he hid it better than the others. Ryker’s expression softened immediately, Asher shifted awkwardly near the door, and Kane actually glanced back at the frame like he was considering reopening it just so they could knock properly and try again.“Sorry,” Ryker said.“We should have knocked,” Dante added.Ashe
