Chapter 77 Tangled fires 🔥🔥
Selene’s body was still buzzing from the night before. Fire. Desire. Heat.

Kael and Riven pressed against her mind and soul, even when they weren’t near.

Her wolf prowled beneath her skin, restless, demanding, aching to be fed.

She could barely breathe without thinking of both of them, both claiming pieces of her, both leaving her torn.

But there was no time to dwell. Danger never slept. Rogue remnants were on the move again.

Marcus had spotted a small contingent attempting a raid on the northern border.

Selene tightened her boots, checked her knives, and stretched her body. She needed focus. She needed control.

Kael was already waiting, dark coat blending into the shadows of the training yard.

Golden eyes locked on her, every inch of him tension and fire.

His presence pressed into her, demanding attention, claiming space, igniting her blood like wildfire.

“Ready?” he asked, voice low, almost growl.

“I am,” she said, though her pulse betrayed her. Her mind wasn’t entirely on battle.

Not when Riven stepped out of the shadows behind her, green eyes warming, heat radiating from him like the sun breaking through clouds.

“You’ll need me,” he murmured, brushing her arm lightly, just enough to make her shiver.

Her wolf snarled softly. Both of them. Both fires. Both claiming her. She swallowed hard.

She couldn’t choose, not yet. She didn’t want to. She only wanted the heat, the tension, the danger, the touch of them both.

The rogue soldiers appeared suddenly, silent as ghosts in the dark forest. Selene’s fire flared, coiling in her hands.

Kael’s muscles tensed, ready to strike. Riven moved with a predator’s grace, hand brushing hers as they passed.

She felt the spark, the heat, and almost lost focus entirely.

“Selene, flank left!” Kael commanded.

“I’ve got the rear,” Riven said. His green eyes met hers for a moment, lingering, intimate, dangerous.

Her stomach twisted, and she had to fight the urge to throw herself at him right there.

The fight erupted fast. Steel clashed with steel. Kael moved like a shadow of death, precise, controlled, deadly.

Riven was fluid, protective, his every move calculated to guard her without smothering.

Selene weaved between them, knives flashing, fire burning, wolf roaring.

At one point, a rogue lunged at her from behind. She spun, flame flicking, scorching his arm. He screamed, stumbling backward.

Kael was beside her in a heartbeat, grabbing the attacker and throwing him to the ground.

Riven’s hand was on her shoulder, grounding, heat and reassurance at the same time.

Her breath came in ragged gasps. Heart pounding. Body alive with danger, adrenaline, and fire. And then… a touch.

Kael’s hand on her waist, firm, claiming. Riven’s fingers brushing hers, steady, intimate. Desire and tension surged through her in waves.

She wanted them both, wanted them now, wanted them always.

One rogue soldier moved too fast, too close. Selene’s fire flared, scorching him from chest to shoulder.

The heat burned through her fingertips, but her wolf purred in satisfaction.

Kael’s hand pressed to her back, guiding, controlling, and Riven’s hand slid to hers, squeezing gently, whispering, “I’ve got you.”

She nearly lost herself. Her body ached with want, with fire, with the tension between the two men.

Kael pressed close, golden eyes dark, lips brushing her neck. Riven’s warmth surrounded her, grounding, soft, tender, protective.

She arched, gasping, caught in the pull, in the fire, in the ache of being wanted by both.

The rogue attack was over almost as quickly as it started. Bodies lay scattered, fleeing, incapacitated.

Selene’s chest heaved, sweat dripping, fire still low and simmering in her veins. Her wolf growled softly, satisfied but restless, still craving more.

Kael’s hand lingered on her waist, heat pressing into her. His lips were close to hers. “You’re mine,” he whispered, voice rough with need and pride.

Riven’s hand found hers again, thumb brushing along her skin. “Not just yours,” he murmured softly, voice warm, steady, intimate.

Selene’s knees nearly buckled. Her mind screamed, heart twisted, wolf howled.

She wanted to melt into them, wanted to surrender, wanted to give herself completely to both.

She could feel Kael’s dominance, controlling, dangerous. She could feel Riven’s tenderness, protective, burning. And she wanted it all.

They moved together back to the compound, close, almost touching, but never fully.

Every brush of hands, every shared glance, every whispered word burned her from the inside out. Her body was a live wire, her heart torn, her wolf alive with need.

Once inside, Selene leaned against a wall, chest heaving.

Kael’s eyes were locked on hers, dangerous, claiming. Riven’s hand rested lightly on her arm, grounding, soft, intimate.

“You’re impossible,” Kael growled.

“I know,” she whispered, voice trembling.

Riven smiled faintly, green eyes warm and burning at the same time. “I wouldn’t have it any other way,” he murmured.

Selene’s mind spun. Desire, tension, danger, fire, longing. She wanted them both. Hated that she did.

And yet, she couldn’t stop thinking about them, couldn’t stop aching for them, couldn’t stop burning.

Kael stepped closer, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “You need to choose,” he said quietly, almost painfully.

Riven’s hand squeezed hers. “But not tonight,” he whispered. “Tonight… we survive. Tonight, we burn, together in fire, but not in choice.”

Selene exhaled shakily. Her wolf howled, echoing her relief, her need, her longing.

Fire, danger, desire, love—all tangled together, impossible to separate. And she didn’t want to.

Because the world was dangerous. The rogue army still moved in shadows.

Secrets still waited to be uncovered. But in this moment, she was alive, wanted, burning, and claimed by two fires that would never let her go.
