In Chains

Draven“I said remove them.” I yelled to Kael. The silver around my wrists burned like hell.“I can’t do that, It’s too dangerous.” Kael said, not moving. “My jaw tightened. “I am not some rabid omega you cage when he loses control.”His gaze didn’t waver. “You almost killed Elysia.”A muscle ticked in my cheek. I remember that and I wondered how scared she must be of me now. This is what the hollowed vale had turned me into. A man in chains.“I didn’t. I stopped.”“Because of her,” Kael almost snapped.Silence crashed into the chamber and the guards shifted uneasily. I understand his anger as I had no control over the beast I’d been cursed into.I looked down at the chains wrapped around my forearms, my torso. They had silver woven with runes around me and I could smell wolfsbane lingering faintly in the air.“Did you inject me with wolfsbane?” I asked.“Just to knock you out,” he said, clearly feeling uncomfortable.They had not only locked me in an underground iron cage like an un

Trigger And An Answer

Elara“Why do you care so much, Elara?” He asked, completely surprising me.It wasn’t an accusation. It sounded more like… confusion.I went very still. I opened my mouth and closed it again.“Why are you still here? You could walk away,” he continued. “You’re not bound to me. Not by ceremony. Not by oath. Nothing.”My voice lowered. I felt some type of way hearing that.“You’ve seen what I become.”“There might be a cure,” I said.“There might not,” he said matter of fact. “The memory burns in my brain. “You should be afraid of me.”I said nothing as silence stretched between us. He held my gaze as I did his.You should be afraid of me.The words lingered in my mind.He looked exhausted.Not necessarily physically but something deeper. Like someone who had fought too long against something no one else could see.“I’m not,” I said quietly. His eyes searched mine.“I can see. You’re standing here,” he said and I chuckled. It felt like him for a second. That tone.Silence stretched.“Yo

Northern Stream

DravenKael touched her and that was all it took to break my resolve. One second she was swaying as she spoke to me— and the next Kael’s hands were on her waist, steadying her.Something uncontrollably inside me detonated and it was primal. The bond flared like a brand pressed to my spine and I didn’t think. I just couldn’t reason because in that moment, I couldn’t see Kael as my beta.All I saw was his hands on her. Her body leaning toward someone else.I saw weakness— hers — and another male stepping into the space that was supposed to be mine to guard.The mark burned and I could feel the beast surging. The chains bit into my wrists as I stepped forward instinctively.“Mine.”The word tore out of my throat without permission. It came from somewhere deeper than my pride or Alpha instinct.My raw instincts activated as I looked at Kael. I could feel myself slipping but Elara was all mine.Kael looked up sharply.“Elara just—”He moved her closer to him as he tried to get her steady

Nirvana

ElaraWalking from the northern stream. I missed Lior but I couldn’t use the bloodline link. It was too much of a risk. I couldn’t sleep but I couldn’t stay out here by the northern stream as it was beginning to get cold. I headed for my chambers.Then I felt it—The weight of someone behind me. Quiet, deliberate. Watching me. My pulse spiked, instinctively shifting.Has Volkava found a way to infiltrate Ironfang? Was this one of his minions?I couldn’t tell. Almost getting to my chambers, the presence felt too close. I reached for the door to my room but turned swiftly as I extended my claws ready to strike down anyone but then a strong, unyielding hand wrapped around mine. My claws stopped inches from his skin.I froze.“Draven?” I whispered, surprised to see him.Did he break out?As if, reading my thoughts. He slowly grinned in that dark, predatory, and utterly calm way of his. “Kael thought it best to let me breathe. He said he knows what prompts the beast and I need the rest fo

Council Of Alphas

DravenI taste her and I realize I’ve been starving. But I had to stop myself because if I went further— I couldn’t tell what would happen. I kissed her, letting her taste just how much she drove me crazy and before she opened her eyes —I was gone.Morning came and I hadn’t slept a wink. I couldn’t sleep. I prayed for Astra to come quickly, and hopefully with good news. I go to the bathroom and stare at myself. My face looks rough, and the more I look closely, I see one of my eyes was red and the other grey-blue. Was this what Elara saw when she looked at me last night?SMASH!!!Glasses topple at my feet. I drove my hands through the mirror before I could stop myself. I look at bloody hands healing surprisingly fast. “Fuck,” I whispered.A knock came when I was about to get dressed.Kael.“I take it you didn’t get much last night,” he said as he stepped in.Did he see me last night?When he realized I’m still waiting how he knew that, he pointed to my face, “Your face says it all.

Cat Out Of The Bag

Elara Frostveil still remained how I saw it last. The council chamber still smelled the same. As we walked in, now I was on Ironfang’s side.How fate can change…I met my brother’s eyes as we walked in. I nodded to both him and Mateo and they acknowledged me back. It felt awkward standing on this side but I reminded myself it was to test Kael's theory of me being a trigger and answer at the same time…right?I stood half a step back away from him. It was already awkward having stares from other Alphas who might not be aware of our current situation and Zuri was sitting with him as she always did.I looked up and saw my brother probably stabbing Draven to death a hundred times over in his head. I know that face. He looks up to me and I mouth ‘stop.’ He rolls his eyes. Then I see Mateo acknowledge Draven with a nod for the first time ever… maybe we were finally standing on mutual ground but that egotistic Alpha ignores Mateo and my hope for a future truce one day crashes.The Grand Alph

The Red Stone

ElaraWe let Astra have a moment with Draven and she comes out to say she’s given him a herb to sleep. “He needs it,” she muttered. She turned to me, “Elara, we need to see. Let’s go,” she said, turning.Zuri and Kael leaves. Elysia, on the other hand…refused. We stepped into the infirmary.Shit! Was this about the broken urn? Did she notice it missing? I had planned to replace the herb in it before she returned but she beat me to it.Astra sat in the center but tonight, she looked older. Not physically but something in her eyes had changed. She looked strained, exhausted. “You found something,” I said quietly.She didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she slowly lifted a white cloth and placed it on the table between us. Under it sat a small stone bowl. A crystal the size of my palm was inside.My breath caught.I know that. I had seen pictures of it in the grimoires. It wasn’t just red. It was the deepest crimson I had ever seen. Dark veins of black lightning moved slowly inside the

Confrontations

ElaraThe moon had begun to rise as I stepped onto the balcony. I could hear thousands of wolves howling. Tonight, some young cubs will transit…would tap into their wolf side.The moon was full and bright. I could feel my wolf’s frustration of not shifting. I couldn’t shift tonight because of Draven.Astra said, tonight the beast would be stronger, hungrier for blood and so many innocent wolves are running through Ironfang, basking in the full moon that bathed the forest beyond in pale silver.I inhale deeply. A knock came on my chamber doors.Zuri.She never comes to my chambers. Her expression was cool. Controlled.“Is there something you want?” I asked after standing there for awhile.“You enjoyed what happened at Frostveil,” she said. “No,” I replied flatly and honestly. Her jaw tightened. I could see the vein in her neck and I knew she was pissed. Why?I couldn’t care less.“You think standing beside him makes you powerful? Makes you feel like you have something special?”I

The Ruins

ElaraThe outskirts of Ironfang were quiet.Very quiet. Feels almost haunted. The forest here was burnt and stretched endlessly beneath the full moon. Silver spilled through the dried branches and painted the ground in ghostly patterns.It felt haunted.Astra had taught me the rituals. We had gone over and over it. Soon, Elysia and her would come around.I stood alone in the clearing and thought about the story. Years back, during when Draven’s father ruled as Alpha. A war had broken out. Ironfang was to be attacked and as always Thornshade would fight alongside them but Ironfang had never called. By the time, Mateo’s father took the initiative to go— half of Ironfang had burned down. In anger, Draven’s father had struck Mateo’s which almost caused another war but Mateo’s father called it off. Later on, Mateo’s father died from the injury, hence the deep hatred between both packs. The wind shifted and I felt that familiar pull inside my chest whenever he was near—“Draven,” I whis

The Silence Within

ElaraDraven’s presence wrapped around my mind like a shield.But normally he had to let go and I untangled myself out of his hug.Astra and Elysia came out of the darkness, “Alpha Draven,” Astra said, bowing.Elysia hugs him. “You’re okay.”“Yes I am,” he said, hugging her back.Kael came out with half clothes. Did he run wolf while I took the curse out of Draven?“Alpha,” he said, giving a hand up. Taking his hand, “Kael.” While lifting me at the same time.“How do you feel?” I asked.“I feel good. Like me,” he said. Pinning those grey blue eyes on me.“I’m glad,” I smiled.“And you?” He asked.I looked at my body. I had a cut from when I collapsed on my arm. “I’m fine. It’ll heal up soon.”——Bright lights peeked through and landed on my eyes. I opened them softly to look out. Morning came too softly.For a moment, I took deep breaths as I recalled last night.A knock on my chamber doors. But I hadn’t even responded but I could hear her closing the door and coming into the inner
