THE ALPHA’S GHOST
Six years ago, Kaye Muani lost everything when fire consumed her pack and painted her father as a monster. Now she is a ghost, running from a world that wants her dead for crimes she did not commit. She has survived by staying invisible, never shifting, never connecting, never hoping for anything more than another day of freedom.
Until Blackwater enforcers drag her across state lines and throw her at the feet of Ethan Rivers, the Alpha who has spent six years building an empire on rage and revenge. He should kill her. She is the daughter of the man he believes murdered his family. But when the mate bond snaps into place between them, everything changes.
Ethan refuses to claim her and refuses to let her go. Instead, he makes her a prisoner in his packhouse, a servant watched by wolves who hate her, a constant reminder of everything he lost. The bond grows stronger every day, pulling them together even as betrayal and secrets threaten to tear them apart.
But the fires that destroyed their packs six years ago were not what anyone believed. The truth is darker, more twisted, and hiding inside the very walls of the Blackwater Pack. Wolves are disappearing. Bodies are turning up with liquefied organs. And someone Ethan trusts is working for a monster who has been experimenting on wolves for decades, turning them into weapons.
When the memorial ceremony becomes a bloodbath and every lie is exposed, Kaye and Ethan must choose between the hatred that has defined them or the bond that could save them. But the enemy is always three steps ahead, and the cost of survival might be more than either of them can pay.

Chapter: CHAPTER 9ETHAN'S POVThe report comes in at three in the morning, Lucas's voice crackling through the radio with the kind of tension that means something is very wrong. Owen didn't return from patrol. I am awake immediately, the Alpha in me responding to threat before my conscious mind fully processes the words."How long overdue?" I ask, already pulling on clothes."Four hours. He was due back at eleven." Lucas's voice is steady but I can hear the concern underneath. "I sent Marcus to check his route but Marcus isn't responding either."My stomach drops. Two enforcers, both experienced, both overdue. That is not coincidence. That is a problem."Organize search parties. I want every available wolf on this. Cover his entire route, check in every fifteen minutes, no one goes out alone." I am moving through my room, grabbing weapons, strapping on the tactical vest I keep for emergencies. "I will meet you at the garage in five.""Ethan, maybe you should stay here. If something is targeting enforce

Chapter: CHAPTER 8KAYE'S POVThe laundry room is in the basement three doors down from my cell, which I suppose is efficient even if it feels like another way to keep me contained in the lowest level of the packhouse. The room is massive, industrial washers and dryers lining two walls, folding tables in the center, and mountains of dirty linens and clothes piled in sorting bins. The air is thick with the smell of detergent and fabric softener and the underlying musk of two hundred wolves whose scents cling to everything they touch.I have been here for two hours, loading washers and moving wet clothes to dryers and trying not to think about how my wrists scream every time I lift something heavy. The bandages help but they are already dirty from work, spotted with water and soap residue. I need to change them but I do not have supplies and I am not brave enough to ask for them.The ankle cuff chafes with every step. I have started walking differently to minimize the friction, a slight limp that makes my

Chapter: CHAPTER 7ETHAN'S POVThe camera sits on my desk like an accusation, small and black and absolutely not supposed to be in my private quarters. I stare at it and try to make sense of what it means, who would plant it, why they would risk discovery. Military-grade surveillance in an Alpha's bedroom is not just bold, it is suicidal if caught. Whoever did this either has massive confidence in their ability to avoid detection or they do not care about consequences.Neither option is comforting.Lucas knocks once and enters without waiting for permission, the way he has since we were teenagers and formality seemed stupid between best friends. He looks alert despite the early hour, already dressed for the day in tactical pants and a tight black shirt that probably has at least three concealed weapons. My Beta takes security seriously, which is one of the many reasons I trust him with my life."You said it was urgent," he says, closing the door behind him. His eyes land on the camera and his expression

Chapter: CHAPTER 6KAYE'S POVI wake up warm for the first time in three days, and that is so disorienting, that for a moment I cannot figure out where I am. The basement room was always cold, the thin blanket doing nothing against the chill that seeped up through the concrete floor. But this bed is soft and I am buried under what feels like six blankets and there is actual heat coming from a vent somewhere nearby.My eyes open slowly, fighting against exhaustion that has soaked into my bones. The ceiling above me is not water-stained concrete but clean white drywall. There is a window to my left with actual curtains, not just a tiny rectangle near the ceiling that shows nothing but grass and fence posts. Daylight streams through the glass, weak winter sun that still manages to feel warm on my face.This is not the basement.My wolf surges forward in immediate panic. Wrong room, wrong place, deeper in territory, danger danger danger. I try to sit up but my body does not want to cooperate. Everything ach

Chapter: CHAPTER 5ETHAN'S POVThe quarterly security report is spread across my desk in neat columns that are supposed to make sense but currently look like gibberish because I cannot focus. Lucas is explaining patrol rotation adjustments, his voice steady and professional the way it always is, and normally I would be paying attention because border security is not something to take lightly. But right now all I can think about is the constant hum of the mate bond at the back of my mind, that awareness of Kaye somewhere in my packhouse that I cannot shut off no matter how hard I try.Three days. It has been three days since they brought her here and three days of fighting every instinct my wolf has. He wants to go to her, wants to check on her, wants to make sure she is okay even though I know exactly what is happening to her because I am allowing it to happen. The pack needs to see that I will not show favoritism. They need to know that being my mate does not protect her from justice.Except it is not

Chapter: CHAPTER 4KAYE'S POVThree days. Seventy-two hours. Four thousand three hundred and twenty minutes, not that I am counting except I absolutely am because counting is the only thing keeping me from losing my mind completely.My wrists look like something from a horror movie. The silver burns should have healed by now, would have healed by now if I were a normal werewolf with normal access to her wolf. But I have not shifted in six years and the silver poisoning is spreading through my system like rust in water, slowing everything down. The burns are still raw and weeping, the skin around them an angry purple-black that smells faintly of infection.I tried to hide them yesterday during kitchen work but Miriam noticed and laughed. Actually laughed. Told me it was justice, that I should hurt the way her sons hurt when they burned. One of the other kitchen workers, a young woman named Petra, looked uncomfortable but said nothing. No one ever says anything.Five AM comes too early, the way it does ev
