Chapter 6.2: When the Dark Breaks

Asher DravenHartHer throat bobbed as she shook her head.No.The word she couldn't say sat heavy between us.My jaw tightened, not with anger. I could never be angry at her. But with helplessness. I hated nightmares. Hated that I couldn't kill them in a way that I could kill a rogue. Hated what they stole."Did you have a nightmare? A bad dream?" I asked.She nodded once. Quick. Miserable. Then wiped at her face like she was annoyed with her own tears.I sat on the edge of the bed, my posture pen. My hands rested on my thighs so she could see them. So she could see that I meant no harm. So she could see that I wasn't going to reach unless she allowed me to. "I'll stay right here." I told her. "All night if I have to. In order to make sure that you are okay."The words were plain, but I meant them like vows.Svannah's shoulders trembled as she nodded. She sniffled hard, then wiggled backward, down, and burrowed under the blankets like she could hide from her own mind. I stayed where

Chapter 6.3: When the Dark Breaks

Asher DravenHart When Savannah slipped into a deep, heavy sleep, her body slackened against mine, her fingers curling into my shirt like it anchored her...... I stayed awake a little while longer. Because I had already learned what lurks in the darkness, Monsters. And they don't sleep.Guardians don't.And I refused, refused, to let the dark take another person I was meant to protect. The night didn't end as it thinned.The embers in the hearth were dimmed to a low, patient glow. The wind outside softened to a hush, like the storm had finally grown tired. Inch by inch the early morning light began to bleed through the edges of the heavy curtains. Pale and cold blue at first, then a little warmer, turning the dark wood of the room into shadowed shapes instead of lurking silhouettes.And I still hadn't slept.Not even for a moment.I lay on my back, Savannah tucked against my chest, breathing deep and even. True sleep. Not the shallow dozing she'd fought for earlier. My arm remaine

Chapter 6.4: When the Dark Breaks

Savannah Whitlock.I was turned around.I was being good.I was staring out the window like it held the meaning of life and not just a bunch of gray blue dawn and trees dusted with snow.And then... the glass betrayed me.The early morning light turned the window into a mirror, just clear enough, and my eyes snagged on the reflection before my brain could stop them.Asher.Behind me. Moving with that quiet, unbothered confidence he seemed to live in.He hooked his thumbs into his waistband and pulled them down like it was nothing. Like he wasn't a walking distraction. Like he wasn't... "Oh my Gods..." sculpted. I froze.My breath did this humiliating trill, and I slapped my hand over my mouth. My cheeks went hot so fast it was like my body had a mind of its own. I should have looked away. I should have been mature.I wasn't.His back was broad, his muscles shifting smoothly underneath his shirt as he stepped out of the fabric. And then.... THEN the reflection caught the curve of him a

Chapter 6.5: When the Dark Breaks

Asher DravenHart"Biting me is a bold strategy." I said, lifting a brow. "It's not a strategy." She said her eyes narrowing, "It's a promise." "And what if I like it?" I countered, tone innocent in a way that absolutely wasn't innocent. Savannah's entire face flashed red so fast that it was almost impressive. She sputtered once, then snapped her mouth shut like she'd just bitten her own tongue. We reached the middle of the staircase, and I felt her squeeze my hand, hard. Like she was trying to transmit I hate you through skin contact.At the bottom of the stairs, she leaned closer as if she needed to make sure that only I heard her. Her voice came out in a hissed warning."Don't tempt me, Asher."Her voice slid down my spine and stirred Nero, who perked up like he heard the word treat."Tempt her. Have her bite. Mark her.""Quiet." I warned, but my mouth twitched anyway.Before I could reply, a laugh floated from the dining room, easy, familiar. Rowan."Oh I am loving whatever is ha

Chapter 6.6: When the Dark Breaks

Asher DravenHart"What is happening?" She said as she stared at Rowan like had had lost his mind. Heat rushed to my face, an emotion that hasn't made itself known for years, until last night. "Nothing." I said way too quickly.Savannah turned to me."That was the most unconvincing 'nothing' I have ever heard." She looked at me horrified and fascinated all at once, "You let them bet on... on what exactly?"On me. On her. On the bed.My ears heated.Rowan sat back down, completely pleased with himself, and took another ginormous bite of food like he hadn't just announced my personal life to the entire dining hall. She leaned close to me."Asher..." she whispered. Just my name. One word and it hooked me like a hungry bass. My blush deepened instantly, hot and humiliating, crawling up my neck as if my skin had chosen to betray me. My stomach tightened, not with fear or anger, but with something that felt dangerously like love. A flustered warmth. It was like her voice slipped past my

Chapter 6.7: When the Dark Breaks

Asher DravenHart"Good." I thought to myself. I glanced up to Rowan. He met my gaze with his, smiling and gave a small nod.Our minds brushed."Look at that. She's eating and still here. She's not running." He paused.I could tell that there was more he wanted to say so I pushed."What is it Rowan?""Are you going to tell her?" He tried to keep his voice casual, but I sensed a shift in his tone. "Tell her what?" I asked, my own tone sharpening.Rowan's amusement flared."About us. About the fact that you and I shared a bed before."My jaw tightened hard enough to click.Savannah was still chewing, blissfully unaware that the word bed had just lit up every nerve in my chest."That was years ago." I sent back, clipped, "And honestly irrelevant."Rowan laughed in the link, bright and annoying."It is relevant that second she starts believing every affectionate thing in this house comes with strings attached. She deserves to know you've loved before Asher. That you're not some cold stone

Chapter 7.1: Threads You Can't See

Asher DravenHartWe finished breakfast slower than when we started. Not because the food wasn't good, it was. The bread was warm, the crisp bit of bacon, and the apples that tasted like comfort. But the dining hall carried echoes: the pack's curious glances and their minds linking with one another wondering why she was still here, what she was going to do, when she was going to run. I'm glad that she couldn't hear it, the weight of things said without literally saying them. What mattered most was that Savannah ate anyway.Despite the heavy feeling in the room.When she finally pushed her plate away, she looked steadier than she had the night before. She was still wary, her character still was sharp at the edges, but she looked less like she was one breath away from bolting out of the house and back into the cold. She sat back in the chair, tugging at the hem of my shirt like she had forgotten it was mine for a moment, then remembered and flushed faintly.I rose first, not rushing her

Chapter 7.2: Threads You Can't See

Asher DravenHartSavannah looked pleased with herself for a moment, then her expression sobered."Okay then..." she said more quietly, "My next question, if the token would awaken, would I be able to hear it or feel it?"I stopped walking. The question landed with weight.Savannah noticed the shift, stopped alongside me. The hallway stretched around us, silent except for the distant hum of heat vents and the faint clink of dishes being cleared from breakfast.I stared at the far wall without really seeing it, my mind turning over all the possibilities like stones in my hand. The token wasn't just wood, ash, and old magics. It was pack law made tangible. A binding. A declaration of power. and if it chose Savannah, if it were to truly awaken in her presence, it could do something other than simply announcing her.It might change her.Nero stirred like he was listening attentively."Honestly, I don't know." I answered.Savannah's shoulders rose with a slow inhale, then fell. She didn't s

Chapter 7.3: Threads You Can't See

Asher DravenHart"Asher," she said again, softer, "Are you alright?"I blinked once, thrown off by how quickly she had moved. She had crossed that distance without hesitation, as if her body decided before her mind could debate about it. I swallowed hard, feeling the heat creep into my face for a reason that had nothing to do with embarrassment, but everything to do with the face that she was near. Near enough to smell her natural sweetness."I'm fine..." I managed to say through a rough voice. Savannah didn't move away. "Are you sure?" she asked, eyes searching my face with unnerving focus, "You looked like... like you got all dizzy. Or like you were in pain.""I wasn't in pain." I said quickly.Which was half true. It wasn't pain so to speak.It was wanting and restraint braided together to tightly that sometimes it felt like it would snap. Savannah's fingers tightened on my forearm."Then what happened?"I hesitated.I didn't want to tell her about the bellow in my head. About h

Chapter 7.4: Threads You Can't See

Asher DravenHartI closed my eyes for a moment, letting the warmth of her touch seep into me, letting the hallway fade away until there was only her hand and my breath and the low, yet satisfied, hush of Nero in my chest.When I opened then again, she still hadn't moved. She was looking at me like she was trying to read the truth directly off of my skin. In that morning light, with her palm against my cheek and my hand over hers, it felt dangerously, impossibly, like the world had tilted toward something new. "You said that you didn't know what you were doing..." I reminded her gently, my voice quiet."I still don't." She said as she nodded once, tiny."But you came to me." "I did." She said as her thumb brushed once more, almost shy.My heartbeat slowed, then spiked.Nero's growl deepened, satisfied beyond words."She's touching us..."And for the first time since she stepped into my territory, I realized something that made my chest ache in a different way:Savannah might not kno
