Chapter: 58Zuberi Blackthorne"Wait, do not cry. Where are your parents? If you are lost, they must be tearing the pack apart looking for you."I look down at the small girl, her face a mask of adorable distress. The sudden rush of protectiveness catches me off guard; usually, I don't give a damn about anything that isn't pack business."I... I... want... Zanele...""Zanele?" I frown, my mind racing. "You mean the Moonborn Alpha Queen? You are miles from her villa, little one. How do you expect to find her wandering the Silverclaw Quarter alone?"She tugs at my sleeve, her eyes wide and wet."I can take you to her, but you have to stop this whimpering. I have enough trouble with my own brother without adding a lost cub to the mix. My older brother, Tavon, already treats me like a nuisance. I don't need you making it worse."She gazes at me, and that simple, sweet smile of hers hits me hard. It’s like a spell. I feel my usual cold, sarcastic exterior cracking."Fine. You must be famished.

Chapter: 57Zanele OkaforInside the darkened interior of the luxury transport, my head leans against the cool glass, my vision swimming with the blur of the passing cityscape."Boss, the man back there... his aura was suffocating. Was that really Idris Blackthorne?""It is him," I murmur, my voice devoid of warmth. "The Alpha of the Bloodmoon Pack, and the master of the Blackthorne Citadel."Kieran lets out a shaky breath, his hands gripping the steering wheel tight enough to leave indentations in the leather. "The most powerful bloodline in the Moon City? I knew his presence was heavy, but the way he looked at you... I thought he was going to snap my spine just for standing near you.""Do not worry, Kieran. You are too formidable for a beast like him to simply crush.""Boss, why did you claim I was your mate? Is he the same one who forced himself on you at the bar?"My throat tightens, the memory of his lips on mine flashing through my mind like a jagged blade. I stare out the window, the neon

Chapter: 56Zanele Okafor"Boss, your lips... they look like they’ve been through a war. Which mongrel did this to you? Tell me his name, and I’ll tear his throat out right here in the shadow of the Moonfang clan!""Kieran, pull yourself together. The matter is settled."Magnus Wraith stands beside Kieran, his gaze shifting to me with a silent, calculating stillness. He does not ask questions, but the way his fingers hover near his blade tells me he knows exactly whose scent clings to my skin."Settled?" Kieran’s voice rises, a growl building in his chest. "I’ll track the cur down. I’ll make sure he never walks on two legs again, let alone—""I said it is over, Kieran," I snap, my voice cutting through the humid night air.Magnus places a steadying hand on Kieran’s shoulder, his eyes meeting mine for a fraction of a second. "She said it is handled. Let it go."Kieran forces a breath, his nostrils flaring, the wolf inside him clearly straining against his skin. He is a loyal pup, but his rage is a

Chapter: 55Zanele Okafor"Get out!"Idris Blackthorne’s voice is a low, guttural snarl that vibrates through the very floorboards of the Blackthorne Bloodmoon Citadel. I am pressed against his chest, my heart hammering like a trapped bird, the scent of his skin—sharp pine and damp earth—overwhelming my senses."But, Brother, I just wanted to see who—""I will not say it again, Jabari. Leave."Jabari Kane retreats, his eyes flicking from Idris to me with a predatory grin before he slams the door shut. The silence that follows is thick, heavy with the weight of our shared history and the dangerous heat currently binding us together.I shove against his shoulders, my muscles straining with every ounce of my strength. "Let me go, you arrogant Alpha! You have no right to hold me."Idris doesn't budge. He stares down at me, his golden eyes narrowing, his grip tightening. "You barged into my private chambers. You crawled onto my furs. And you kissed me, Zanele, with a hunger that tells me you wanted ev

Chapter: 54Idris Blackthorne"Ten million? You possess the spine to barter for more?" Idris’s golden eyes flare with a primal, suffocating heat as he looms over the mahogany desk in the Blackthorne Pack Manor. He grips his mobile device, his knuckles turning white, his breathing hitching."It is my price, Alpha.""You are truly willing to vanish for a mere ten million? If your hunger is for pack resources, I would lay the entire Blackthorne legacy at your feet. I would surrender every inch of this territory to you. But you speak to me of contracts and silences?""I signed the pack-bond agreement, Idris. The blood-seal is dry. I cannot break a contract witnessed by your own mate.""Do not test my temper, Zanele. You belong to me, not to some pathetic piece of parchment."I disconnect the call, my hand trembling as I slam the device onto the table. I shove it into flight mode, the silence of the Mooncrest Villa pressing in on me like a burial shroud. He smells of power, of ancient blood and deceit

Chapter: 53"Ten million?" Ayomide’s jaw drops, her eyes wide with a mix of fury and disbelief. "You possess the audacity to demand a higher tribute?""So, is Idris Blackthorne not worth ten million to your pack?" I pull the ribbon from the yellow folder, my movements languid and unbothered. "If your pockets are too shallow, I shall simply remain in Idris’s shadow. My spotted pelt may lack your pristine, pampered beauty, but who can say? Perhaps his primal side hungers for something... different.""You..."Ayomide views me as an infection, a blemish on the pack's elite skin. With my face masked in these thick, dirt-colored spots, I am nothing but a common, unrefined mongrel in her eyes. Aside from my burning, round eyes, I am plain, yet I am the first female to ever carve a permanent scar into Idris’s cold, unreachable heart. The fact that I bear the name Zanele—the same name as her own blood—is a curse she cannot wash away."Very well." Ayomide’s knuckles whiten, her teeth gritted in a snarl. "T

Chapter: 63"If Selene Voss smells even a single drop of our secondary contract, Kairi, the iron execution squads will have both our heads on the ice tracks before the championship match starts," I warned, watching the corporate wolf finish her black-market coffee."The Voss syndicate thinks they own every blade of steel in the Cheshire territory, Lyra," Kairi Torres replied, her tense shoulders dropping as she offered a sharp, dangerous smirk. "But Harper Blake was right about one thing. Your fallen forge family still has enough hidden assets to buy my absolute silence. The bloodline graft is yours.""We move the material through the Blackmoor clinic bypass line at midnight," I stated, standing up from the booth and adjusting my trench coat. "Do not let your enforcers miss the gate check.""The transaction tokens are already clearing my offshore ledger, Alpha-substitute," Kairi murmured, her golden eyes flashing with raw satisfaction. "I'll see you on the medical ice."I broke away from the neut

Chapter: 62"Lyra, we have a catastrophic breach on the southern tracks," Dr. Victor Hale barked as he threw the isolation room door open, his chest heaving as the scent of pure panic rolled off his clinical robes."What do you mean, Victor?" I demanded, my hands freezing over the medical monitors as my wolf stood completely on edge. "The high council didn't intercept the transport, did they?""The rogue donor from the Maradeiris sector just tore up the alliance contract," Victor said, his teeth bared in sheer frustration as he lowered his voice. "They pulled their bloodline markers from the lab registry less than ten minutes ago.""They did what?" I gasped, my voice climbing into a ragged whisper as the entire room seemed to spin. "How can someone pull out when the surgical prep is already running? What changed their mind at the last second?""Mommy, why is the doctor shouting?" Averi murmured from the mattress, his tiny voice cutting right through my mounting hysteria."Everything is perfectly

Chapter: 61"Your forge lineage credentials checked out perfectly with our vanguard arena coordinators, Miss Ashford," the Lawrence Group's prime pack secretary said, sliding the glass door open to reveal the high alpha's inner sanctum."Sit down, Lyra," High Alpha Hank Lawrence commanded, his deep voice carrying the thick, warm scent of cedar wood and old territory contracts as he turned from the massive reinforced glass looking out over the skating circuits. "The silver-weave armor set you engineered for my female's winter tournament match was an absolute masterpiece. She will not stop howling about the tactical flexibility of the joint plates to the council elders.""The pleasure belongs entirely to House Ashford, Alpha Lawrence," I replied, forcing my posture into a structured, formal stance as I slipped into the leather chair opposite his desk. "Hearing that the Lawrence vanguard finds our craftsmanship superior to the mass-produced Crowne dominion gear keeps our furnace burning."Hank's gol

Chapter: 60"Why are you sneaking around my son's isolation unit, Tristan?" I demanded, my voice cutting through the heavy silence of the Blackmoor sector ward like a cold blade on fresh rink ice.I stood frozen in the doorway, my knuckles whitening against the doorframe as my inner wolf clawed at my chest in sheer panic. Inside the room, Alpha Tristan Crowne was kneeling on the cold linoleum, his charcoal-gray tailored suit jacket unbuttoned, completely throwing off his usual terrifying mafia lord persona. My little Averi was sitting upright in his small hospital bed, his round golden eyes wide with an innocent curiosity as he held up a titanium hockey player figurine toward the massive predator who had shattered my pack line three winters ago.Tristan didn't answer immediately. He slowly stood up to his full, imposing height, his shadow completely devouring the small space between the medical monitors and the bedside. His lethal amber gaze tracked my ragged breathing, searching for the micro-ex

Chapter: 59"So what if the Crowne syndicate pulls their financing from our secondary skating rinks?" Damien Cross said, his voice dropping into a dangerous, low rumble that cut straight through the anxious chatter of his tactical advisors. "Do you think I am intimidated by Tristan’s alpha title or his mafia execution squads? Lyra and her cub are under the protection of the Cross family crest now. I refuse to abandon them to the winter elements just because the High Council is watching the borders."His assistant bowed his head, his scent shifting from raw panic to profound, unyielding respect for the enforcer. "We will double the sentries along the southern ice tracks, sir. If the Crowne enforcers try to block the transport from Ironfang Airfield, we will be ready to clear the way by force."Down at the Blackmoor Pack Infirmary, the elevator doors slid open with a heavy metallic hiss. The moment I stepped onto the linoleum floor, the sharp, overwhelming stench of silver-nitrate antiseptic and ol

Chapter: 58Get your hands off her, Crowne, before I break your fingers right over this table!" Damien Cross roared, his inner wolf surging to the surface as his fangs fully extended, his scent filling the confined office with the raw, metallic stench of fresh blood and ozone.Tristan Crowne didn't even blink, his massive shoulders blocking the light from the hallway as he slammed the heavy iron door shut behind him with a force that rattled the glass partitions of the facility. He ignored Damien entirely, his golden Alpha eyes locking onto me where I sat on the leather sofa, my fingers still trembling as I clutched the updated jersey schematics for the winter league. Before I could shift my weight to stand, Tristan crossed the distance between us in a single, predatory stride, his hand locking around my upper arm like a steel vise and ripping me upward so violently that a sharp gasp of pain tore from my throat."You thought you could hide the bloodline markers of the Crowne syndicate in a rogue
