Calistas povThe moment I pushed them open, the guards standing outside went completely rigid, bowing deeply as Magnus strode out behind me.We walked out of the mansion and onto the wide green lawn. The entire courtyard was packed with pack members, servants, and warriors. The moment they saw me… the girl who had been dragged away in chains just an hour ago… walking freely alongside the legendary Alpha King, the crowd went dead silent. Hundreds of eyes stared at us in absolute shock, whispering frantically among themselves.We reached the gravel driveway where the black armored convoy was waiting. Magnus walked past his guards, stepping up to the lead SUV. Instead of getting in and waiting, he opened the heavy passenger door himself and stepped aside, looking down at me."Get in," he said.I gave a small gasp. The Alpha King was opening doors for a shiftless pack girl. I nodded quickly and climbed into the plush leather seat, and he slid in right beside me, his massive shoulder brush

Calistas povI leaned slightly closer to his desk, making sure my voice was low enough for him to hear."I have spent years writing detailed journals on shiftless wolves," I told him, keeping my eyes locked on his. "I have always been fascinated by the idea that amongst all my peers in this pack, I am the only one who can't turn into a wolf. It drove me crazy, so I started looking into it. And during my research, I heard stories of so many people in our pack and other packs who couldn't turn into a wolf either. I tracked their histories. I found patterns."Magnus listened attentively, his fingers tapping slowly against his chin. He nodded, his deep voice rumbling softly. "Okay. That is fine. If there are others like us, I would like to meet these other people. I want to know how they live, and if they feel the same power we felt today."I let out a sharp breath and shook my head. "That’s the problem, your Majesty."Magnus frowned, his massive brows knitting together. "What do you mean

Calistas povI stood tall in the center of the room refusing to let my knees buckle under the weight of the man sitting before me, the Alpha King. He was almost seven feet of pure muscle and dark tattoos that went all the way up his neck. The Alpha King looked like a god of war sitting behind that oak desk. I was not going to look down. I was not going to let the Alpha King see me tremble.The Alpha King crossed his legs, his dark eyes staring straight into my soul."Who are you?" He asked, his voice rumbling through the floorboards."My name is Calista," I said, my voice loud and clear.He stared at me for a moment then tilted his head, his eyes looking at my bruised face and the messy hair falling over my shoulders. A strange expression passed over his features."Calista,” he murmured, saying my name out loud. Then his eyes narrowed slightly. "You do not look very sorry for what you did, Calista."I let out a laugh, crossing my arms over my chest."Because I am actually not sorry,"

Magnus’s povThe air in the dungeon felt thick and heavy. My chest was heaving as the huge surge of power settled under my skin. For the first time in my life, I felt something within me wake up. It was roaring in a way that made my blood feel hot. I couldn’t take my eyes off the girl before me. I knew I had to calm down.I blinked hard then forced the light from my eyes. I turned my head slowly toward the men standing behind me."Kaelen," I said loudly, my voice shaking the dust from the stone ceiling.My Beta stepped forward right away. "Yes, my King?""Set up an investigation of what happened here. Now."Kaelen nodded. His face was very serious. "I will get on it right away, sire.""Wait, what?" Beta Paul said in shock. He stepped forward with his hands raised. He looked pale. His voice was heavy with worry. "Your Majesty, with all due respect. This is not possible. There is no need for an investigation. It is clear that she was the one who attacked the Alpha of our pack. We found

Alpha Magnus' POV The grand council hall was completely silent. Dozens of Alphas and elders from across the territories sat in the rows of stone seats before me, but nobody dared to breathe too loudly. I sat on my heavy, dark throne, my fingers lightly tapping against the carved armrest. I looked down at them all but they avoided my gaze. I knew what they saw when they looked at me. I was nearly seven feet tall, my frame built from centuries of war and pure muscle. Heavy dark tattoos spilled out from beneath my leather tunic, winding down my thick forearms and covering the backs of my hands. My voice, whenever I chose to use it, was a deep baritone rumble that could shake the dust from the ceiling. They feared me. They feared me because I was the Alpha King, and they feared me because of the rumors. Nobody in this room had ever seen my wolf form. Yet, they all knew I could break them without even trying. My Beta, Kaelen, leaned down toward my ear, his voice a low whisper.

Calista's POV I paced back and forth across the bedroom floor, my hands shaking so violently I had to clench them into fists. My vision blurred. My chest heaved. I couldn’t stop moving. The air in the room felt thick, smelling of sex, sweat, and betrayal. I looked at the rumpled bedsheets, then at the floor, and finally at him. "You do this with men?" My voice cracked, barely above a whisper. "You have sex with men?" Jake stood by the bed, the blanket wrapped tightly around his waist. He looked flushed, his hair messy, but the shock on his face was already turning into irritation. "Calista, just calm down for a second," he said, taking a step toward me. "It’s not what it looks like." "Not what it looks like?" I scoffed, a bitter, breathless sound. "I just walked in on two naked men on top of you! What else could it possibly look like, Jake?" "It’s just something I do occasionally," he said, shrugging his shoulders as if he were talking about a hobby. "It’s no big deal.
