Chapter: 17HarrietI had lied.I was not okay, I was not ready, and I was definitely not as confident as I had sounded when I told Zion I was going to walk into that council room and win. I had only said it because I needed to hear myself say it out loud. Maybe if I sounded certain enough, I would eventually start believing it.Sitting there at the long wooden table, with my phone sitting cold beside my plate, the heavy thought of the upcoming council meeting hung over me. Everything I had been trying so hard to push down came rising right back to the surface.I was scared.I could not show it, though. Not here. Everyone in this pack could smell fear on a person the moment it hit their blood—I had already learned that much about wolves.I glanced sideways at the man sitting beside me. He was tall, with broad shoulders and glowing blue eyes that seemed to look right through me. The Alpha. I quickly looked away, staring down at my hands.I needed to calm down. I needed to relax my body. If I kept

Chapter: 16HarrietMy hand wouldn’t stop shaking.I stared at the phone until the screen dimmed on its own, my thumb still hovering over Haley’s name like touching it again might make this less real. My pulse was loud in my own ears, louder than the clatter of plates being cleared around me, louder than Jian’s voice still going on about council schedules like the world hadn’t just tilted sideways.Less than three weeks.I set the phone face-down on the table, too fast. The sound of it hitting wood was small, but it cut straight through whatever Zion had been saying.He stopped mid-sentence.I didn’t look up. I didn’t have to. I felt him look at me the way he always did now, like he was listening to something underneath my skin instead of my face.“Harriet.”Just my name. Nothing else.“I’m fine,” I said, too quickly, reaching for my water glass so my hands would have somewhere to be.“Your heart is doing something it doesn’t do when you’re fine.”I hated that. I hated that there was no version o

Chapter: 015HarrietI shook my head. "I don't know anything about that. Zion only recently started teaching me about the pack laws and how everything works around here."Lara nodded slowly, her face turning a bit serious. "The council will need to approve the mating since you are human."Before I could ask what she meant by the council, Jian looked across the table at Zion. "The council is already asking questions, Alpha. You know they will want to meet Harriet before this turns into anything official."Zion leaned back in his heavy chair, resting one arm over the top of it. "I know."Jian gave him a firm, knowing look. "They will want to know what you are planning for the pack before they recognize her as Luna."I looked back and forth between the two men. So this was another huge part of the pack that Zion had not mentioned yet. A group of old wolves who had to judge me before I could truly belong.Lara gently touched my arm to get my attention.

Chapter: 014Harriet Zion had already told me that dinner would be at the pack house, where everyone usually gathered. By the time I walked into the dining area, my hands were sweating and I was playing with my fingers to keep them from shaking. I had already met Phina, Jian, Lara, and little Ginger. I had seen some of the pack members training in the yard and watched a few shift into wolves earlier in the day. But actually sitting down to eat a meal with all of them was completely different. Nobody really noticed me when I walked in. There was one long wooden table stretching across the middle of the room, with no separate tables or private corners to hide in. I hurried over to the second side and pulled out the chair right beside Zion. I sat down and looked around. Some of the people at the table had deep marks and dark scars across their arms and necks. Others were sitting close to their mates, talking, laughing, and touching each other without even thinking about it. A few just ate qui

Chapter: 13Victoria’s POVI climbed onto him the second the phone left his hand. The message was already sent. Harriet’s phone was still in the drawer downstairs where I had left it after I made her disappear. One week. That was all the time I needed. One week of him buried inside me and he would stop dialing that number like a lost dog.I settled over his hips and reached down, guiding him. The thick head of his cock pressed against me and I pushed down in one slow, deliberate slide until he was fully inside. My eyes fluttered shut for half a second at the stretch. God, he filled me so completely it almost hurt. I loved that it almost hurt.“Fuck… yes,” I breathed, rolling my hips once, twice, seating him deeper. “That’s it, baby. Right there.”He was still half in his head, still thinking about her. I could feel it in the way his hands stayed loose on my waist instead of gripping hard. I leaned forward, pressing my full breasts against his chest, pregnant belly heavy between us, and started mo

Chapter: 012Adrian’s pov "I don’t really care," I lied. "You are here with me, so why would I be looking for her first thing in the morning?" Victoria sat up, her face getting serious for the first time. "This is getting serious, Adrian. In a few hours’ time now, our superior is going to call ... she’s going to ask us about how everything is going with the plan. What are we going to tell her if Harriet is gone?" I paced a small circle in the kitchen. "We need to... we’ll just lie to our superior that everything is going well. Besides, the boss isn't here to know what’s happening. She doesn't know if Harriet is still here or if she has disappeared into thin air." "Well, you’re right," Victoria said, leaning back again. "But for now, keep trying to call her number. We need her here." I waited five minutes. It felt like five hours. I dialed again. The number you're trying to call is not available at the moment. "I’m hungry," Victoria complained from the other room. "It’s like a baby w

Chapter: DorianMargaux Celia’s message took two whole days to arrive on my burner phone. When the screen finally lit up in the middle of the night, I opened it with cold fingers.Three more weeks.I stared at the three words on the small screen for a long time before deleting the text. Three weeks felt like a lifetime in a palace where the King was watching every hallway and Margot was looking for any reason to destroy me. But I had survived three years alone in Ashmere, hiding in plain sight without a single person to help me. I could manage three weeks.I slipped the phone back under my mattress, pulled my uniform collar up, and got out of bed to start my morning shift.In the kitchen prep room, the air was warm and smelled of fresh bread and vegetable soup. Cherry, a young human girl with bright eyes and red hair who worked the morning shift with me, was busy scrubbing carrots at the metal sink."You're up early, Mara," Cherry said, turning around and wiping her wet hands on her apron.

Chapter: Four men in dark suitLucien I sat in my beat-up car in the parking lot behind the regional pack office, staring at the message on my cracked phone screen.Margot’s text was brief, sharp, and structured like an order. She needed me at the palace immediately. She wanted me to go straight to the kitchen wing, make a scene near Margaux, and make it look like I had chased her there. She wanted the Lycan King to see us together—to see a rejected mate from a small southeastern pack claiming her before the King could figure out what the bond meant.I read the text twice. A familiar, bitter embarrassment burned in my stomach.For three years, Margot had used me as a stepping stone. She had taken every spare cent I earned from my low-level pack council job, used my connections to get her fancy clothes and introductions to wealthy pack leaders, and then walked away the second she didn't need me anymore. Now, she was under pressure at the palace, and she was using me again like a tool in her kit.I put the phone dow

Chapter: Self doubtMargaux I sat on the edge of my narrow bed with both hands pressed flat over the side of my neck. Under my fingers, the mark pulsed with a deep, steady warmth. It was quiet now, completely satisfied after months of being starved, but the rest of my mind was a mess.I looked down at my muddy shoes resting on the small rug. I could not lie to myself about what had just happened in that hallway.For three years in Ashmere, I had survived by making cold, careful choices. I had learned to think five steps ahead of everyone else. But ten minutes ago, in the dark corridor outside his study, I had let the darkness, his closeness, and the pull of the bond push all my common sense aside.The result was sitting right here in this small room. My mark was no longer cold. My wolf was no longer wild or pacing in my head. It was lying down, happy and full, while my real situation had become ten times more dangerous than it was yesterday.The door of my room creaked open an inch.I pulled my hands do

Chapter: Right to lie in my faceDorianI stood in the dark hallway for a long time after her steps faded down the stairs. My hands hung flat at my sides.For four months, I had sat across from Margot at dinner tables, listening to her talk about our future. Her words were always polite, and her smile was always ready, but the connection between us was always flat. It played like a bad song that was almost right, but just off enough to annoy you. It was close enough to fool my eyes, but it never fooled my wolf.What had just happened in this corridor was completely different. Touch for touch, scent for scent, it was the exact same feeling from the night of Isabella Calloway’s wedding at the Calloway estate.Footsteps sounded down the hall. Garrett walked around the corner carrying a stack of papers. He stopped when he saw me standing near the wooden bench."Sire?" Garrett asked, looking around the empty hall. "What are you doing out here? I thought you were in your study.""I was on my way there," I said. My voice wa

Chapter: Found herDorian I could not sleep, so I left my bedroom and walked down the quiet hallway toward my private study. As I turned the corner into the carpeted corridor, I saw her. She was walking quietly, holding a folded white sheet against her chest. She had not heard me coming yet. In that split second, before her eyes lifted to mine, my wolf moved. It did not ask for permission. It surged forward with absolute certainty, recognizing her completely. Before my mind could talk me out of it, I stepped into her path. I moved slowly, keeping my hands where she could see them so I would not startle her. I reached out and gently took the heavy sheet from her hands, setting it down on the wooden bench beside us. "Wait," I said softly. She froze under my touch, but she did not pull away. Her body went completely still, the kind of stillness that comes when someone has already decided not to run. I placed one hand against the side of her neck, my fingers sliding under her uniform collar. R

Chapter: SuspicionsI turned away from the garden entrance and walked straight to my study. The quiet sound of steps down the hall stayed in my mind, but I needed facts, not feelings. Garrett was already standing near my desk when I opened the door. He held a thin yellow folder in his hands. "The investigator just sent this through," Garrett said, setting the folder on the wooden desk. "He found a lead on the person who vouched for Mara." I sat down in my chair and pulled the paper toward me. "What did he find?" "It took some digging," Garrett said, pointing to the top line. "The person who asked Celia to sign those papers isn't from a small village. She is a low-ranking woman in the southeastern pack." I looked up at him. "The southeastern pack? That's Lucien Ashby's territory." "Yes," Garrett nodded. "It is also where Margaux Voss lived before she disappeared three years ago." I stared at the name on the page. Lucien Ashby ran the southeastern pack. He came to the capital every few months

Chapter: 011Matilda:Chapter Five: Picking Up My LeftoversThe air in the house had turned cold, a sharp contrast to the staged warmth of the wedding. It was as if, now that the vows were exchanged and the public eyes were gone, Maxine didn't see the point in wearing a mask anymore. He and his "assistant" were a permanent fixture now, their intimacy a weapon used to remind me exactly where I stood. Or rather, where I didn't.“This is Lucien. He will be your new driver,” Maxine said, gesturing toward a man standing by the entrance.I stared at the stranger, then back at my husband. The cage was getting smaller. “Why do I need one?”“Because I need to have you under my watch at all times,” he said, his voice flat as he readjusted the collar of his black silk pajamas. He looked like a man in total control, even in his sleepwear.I felt a spark of rebellion flare up in my chest. “And you think I can’t do anything with Lucien, right?” I asked, stepping closer, trying to meet his gaze, to find some shr

The word felt too cold. My mind began to race in ugly circles. A man like him did not offer things without reason. Men like him did not give freely. They took. They bartered. They built cages and called them protection. “What if it is one of your nonsense traditions?” I demanded, my voice rising before I could stop it. “What if you want to use me for ritual? How can you assure me that you will pay up the termination f*e? How?” His expression did not change. That almost made me more nervous. He reached for his phone. My breath caught. I watched every movement, my heart thudding so hard I could feel it in my throat. He typed something, then held the screen where I could see it. A transfer. Seventy-five million.

I twisted once, then again, until his fingers loosened.The air around the venue felt different here. Softer. Quieter. Away from the loud music, the clatter of glasses, and the fake laughter that had been filling the wedding hall all evening. The corridor ahead was dim, lit by yellow wall lamps that made everything look more secret than it should have.I drew in a breath and forced myself to look him in the eye.“Thank you for helping me out of that uncomfortable situation,” I said, keeping my voice low, because even now I was still careful. Still thinking of who might be listening. “But no one should see us like this. You should understand that Maxine is still my husband.”The moment the words left my mouth, I felt the humiliation of them like a bruise.He stared at me for a long second, his expression unreadable, a
