Chapter: Ch. 43: Divided Loyalties RyderThe room feels tighter than usual, like the walls have shifted closer overnight. Ammo is missing, not a little either, and the kind that does not just walk off on its own. The kind that gets taken because someone knew where it was stored and when the guards rotated. I stand at the head of the table, hands braced against the wood, eyes moving over every face in the room, and I hate that I am doing this again.“How many times do we have to bleed before people start telling the truth,” I growl, my voice cutting through the low murmurs.Knox shifts in his seat, jaw clenched. Jace stares straight ahead, arms folded tight. Jerome stands off to the side with his tablet, eyes flicking between the data and the crew like he is trying to measure which one will crack first.“This was not a random hit,” Jerome adds quietly. “They went straight for the east cache. The one only a few people knew about.”That lands heavy. I straighten slowly, my chest tightening. “Names,” I demand. “Who had ac

Chapter: Ch. 42: Sabotage AliceI wait until the compound settles into that uneasy quiet it gets after midnight, when most people pretend to sleep but no one actually does. The halls thin out, footsteps fade, and the guards rotate into their slower shifts. That is when I move. I pull my hood up, more out of habit than fear, and head toward the storage wing like I belong there, because technically I still do, no matter how many looks I have been getting lately.My head is loud. Every step I take echoes with Gabe’s face behind bars, the way his eyes refused to meet mine, the way his hands shook even when he tried to play it tough. He confessed, yes, but nothing about it sits right with me, and I am done waiting for permission to prove it.The storage building smells like oil, metal, and old dust. I flick on the low lights, enough to see but not enough to draw attention from outside. Shelves line the walls, stacked with crates, spare parts, and old patrol gear. In the far corner is what I came for, the metal cab

Chapter: Ch. 41: Blood And Doubt RyderThe engines roar to life before dawn, the sound ripping through the compound like a warning that something ugly is already in motion. The ambush from earlier still hangs over the pack, heavy and sour, anger mixing with fear until nobody knows which one is driving them anymore. I do a quick headcount in the yard, eyes scanning faces I know too well, faces that have stood beside me through blood and loss. One of them is missing already, and the hollow space where Tanner should be sits wrong in my chest.“We ride east and then split,” I call out, voice steady even though something inside me feels tight. “Two groups. Flush them out. No hero shit.”Knox nods once, jaw set. Jace tightens his gloves with sharp jerks. The rest mount up without questions. Everyone wants blood tonight. Everyone wants a name to spit when the shots start flying, and Gabe’s name keeps circling like a vulture no one wants to acknowledge but everyone sees.Nova swings onto her bike beside mine, helmet tucked

Chapter: Ch. 40: The Weight Of Suspicion AliceI cannot breathe, my thoughts running wild in my head, crashing into each other until nothing makes sense anymore. Reign is ruthless, everyone knows that, and even as my mate, even with everything between us, if he truly believes Gabe is guilty, he will not hesitate. He will make the call, cold and final, and Gabe will be dead before sunrise. The thought hits me so hard my chest tightens, and I have to stop for a second just to steady myself.My fingers clutch my jacket as I turn down the corridor that leads to the holding cells, boots echoing against concrete that smells damp and metallic. Every step feels heavier than the last, like the pack house itself is pushing back against me, warning me to turn around. I do not listen.My brother cannot do something like this. He is reckless sometimes, yes, but stupid enough to sell out the pack that saved our lives, stupid enough to drag Jackal back into our shadows? No. He is grateful to Reign, grateful to this place, and he knows exa

Chapter: Ch. 39: She Is My Mate ReignSomething twists tight in my chest as I watch Alice fall apart on the chair, shoulders shaking, hands clenched like she is holding herself together by force. She has always been protective of Gabe. Hell, she risked going straight into Jackal’s underground just to drag him out, put herself in danger without thinking twice, and that alone should count for something. I understand her panic, I do. But the evidence is clear, and Gabe did not deny it when it mattered.The room is still buzzing from the fallout, voices low, tension crawling across every surface. I feel like the walls are closing in, like the pack house itself is pressing down on me, demanding a decision I am not ready to make. My jaw aches from how hard I have been clenching it, and I drag a hand down my face, trying to steady my thoughts.Alice suddenly pushes off the chair and rushes toward me. Before I can react, she drops to her knees right in front of me, grabbing my hand with both of hers. The contact hits harde

Chapter: Ch. 38: Bigger Than Feelings AliceSince Nova came, I have had no chance to breathe, the pack house has been one chaos or the other, and it never really settles before something else breaks loose. Somehow, Jackal is no longer right at our back, yet it feels worse because now there are too many reoccurrences of rogues sneaking in, too many leaks, too many near misses that leave everyone jumpy and suspicious.We are gathered in the clubhouse with most of the crew packed into the space, bodies pressed close, the air thick with sweat, anger, and that sharp edge of fear no one wants to name. I turn to look at Reign, exhaustion drawing hard lines on his face that were not there months ago. He massages the bridge of his nose again, slower this time, like even that small movement takes effort. Jerome stands beside him with his tablet clutched in one hand after going over the missing information again and again with no trace of where it is going. As if the whole damn system is hacked from the inside. He bites his lip for
