They left Seattle without Isabella trying to detain David, but she said she'd file a formal complaint with the tribunal about Dante harboring another Viktor hybrid on his land.David was in a reinforced transport vehicle and Marcus was sitting beside him, looking like he was trying to process seeing his dead brother alive and transformed into something else. The drive back to Blackwood Estate was tense and quiet.Elena planned how to approach Viktor's facility with less than thirty-six hours before his deadline, but Dr. Chen met them at the estate with bad news, derailing her plans. Katerina collapsed an hour after leaving for Seattle, her heart stopping twice before the doctor stabilized her."She's dying," Dr. Chen informed Elena as she led her to the medical wing. Her bone marrow can't produce healthy blood cells after 18 years of systematic blood extraction. Without a silver wolf transfusion within 24 hours, her organs will shut down."Elena felt sick because there was only one s

They found the tracking device where Viktor said it would be, professionally sewn into Nikolai's coat pocket lining, suggesting Dmitri's people planted it without his knowledge.Elena wished her cousin hadn't led Viktor to Katerina, but Viktor now had a direct line to Blackwood Estate and the woman he'd been harvesting for eighteen years.Dante decided to evacuate Katerina to a safe location within ten minutes of finding the device, but Dr. Chen argued that her current condition could kill her faster than Viktor's assault.Marcus received the call about the hybrid attacks in Seattle while they were debating options, and protecting one woman became secondary to stopping three hybrids who were killing humans in a populated area."We go now," Dante said, moving toward the armory. You're with me, Elena. Marcus, secure the attack site with five wolves before human media gets too much footage."Elena grabbed weapons and body armor a pack member threw at her and was in the SUV before she re

Nikolai Volkov drove a plain sedan to Blackwood Estate three hours after Viktor's video went viral, claiming to have a hard drive with everything Elena needed to destroy Viktor and Dmitri.Elena watched him pull up to the gate through security monitors and felt a mix of hope and suspicion because Nikolai was family, but family in the Volkov organization meant something different.Nikolai was searched twice before Dante let him into the main hall, and Marcus was close enough to intervene if Elena's cousin moved suddenly. Nikolai appeared tired and older than Elena remembered, with shadows under his eyes indicating he hadn't slept in days.I'm defecting "Nikoi addressed Dante without preamble, focusing on Elena. "My uncle is a monster, no more denying it. All the evidence on this drive proves Dmitri knew Katerina was alive and sold her blood to Viktor for 18 years.He gave Marcus the hard drive, who immediately took it to security to check for digital traps.Elena wanted to believe her

Katerina demanded Elena the morning after Dr. Chen stabilised her for three hours after the crash.She sounded like she needed to teach her daughter right away, and Elena suspected her mother knew she was running out of time to pass on knowledge that would otherwise die with her.Silver wolves feel pack bonds "Katerina spoke softly but intently. "Pack hierarchy and loyalty in wolves. Find and feel them as threads connecting every wolf to their alpha and each other.While sitting by her mother's bed, Elena considered the implications. She asked, "How do I see them?"Close your eyes and reach out with your wolf, Katerina advised. With your wolf sense, not physically.You probably already know where pack members are even when you can't see them."Elena closed her eyes and contemplated her strange awareness and growth since her first shift.She could feel Marcus guarding the medical wing, Dante in his office three floors down, and the few pack members scattered throughout the estate.As

Isabella Cross brought ten pack members to Blackwood Estate at noon, eight more than diplomatic protocol allowed for peace. Elena watched from the second-floor window as the black SUV convoy pulled up to the main entrance. She could feel the estate's tension as Dante's pack prepared for a fight. Dante made Elena attend the meeting to confirm Isabella's silver wolf rumors, despite Marcus's objections. Elena agreed because hiding felt weak, and she was done being weak after her father's lifelong imprisonment. Isabella entered the main hall like she owned it, flanked by ten wolves watching Dante's pack and ready for violence. With sharp features and calculating eyes that assessed the room in seconds, she was striking, not beautiful. She may have looked at Elena with surprise or hunger. "So the rumors are true," Isabella told Dante, watching Elena. "You have a silver wolf on your territory and didn't tell the neighboring alphas about an existential threat in their backyard." "Elen

Elena was tired of the antiseptic and blood smell in Blackwood Estate's medical wing after three hours of watching Dr. Chen treat everyone injured in the factory assault. Dante refused treatment despite his broken ribs, insisting the doctor focus on Katerina because eighteen years of captivity and blood extraction had done more serious damage than tonight's injuries. Elena held her mother's hand while Dr. Chen tested and connected IV lines to replace Katerina's fluids. Her mother intermittently woke up and tried to tell Elena about silver wolf abilities before exhaustion took her back under. She last mentioned pack bonds and sensing connections before closing her eyes. "She needs rest more than anything right now," Dr. Chen whispered, checking Katerina's vitals on the bedside monitor. "Her body has been under extreme stress for nearly two decades and will take time to recover, if she recovers." Elena didn't want to consider finding her mother alive and losing her within days or
