The Lost Heir
Maya grew up in the shadows of Stonehaven—the maid's daughter, human and invisible among wolves. Alec was the Alpha's son, her childhood friend, her first love, her impossible dream.
One stolen night changed everything.
When Maya discovered she was pregnant, she ran. Not because she didn't love him—but because what she carried was impossible. Forbidden. The kind of secret that gets you killed.
Seven years later, her daughter's power explodes in a surge felt by every pack for a hundred miles.
And now they're coming.
When Alec tracks the surge, he's expecting a threat.
What he finds is the woman he thought was dead—and a seven-year-old daughter he never knew existed.
Out of options and out of time, Maya does the one thing she swore she'd never do: she follows him home to Stonehaven. To the pack that never wanted her. To face wolves who see her child as an abomination.
Now Maya must navigate a pack that wants her daughter dead, rebuild trust with the man whose heart she broke, and survive the attention of something dark and ancient rising from the northern mountains—something that felt her daughter's power and will destroy everything to claim it.
An Alpha who will burn the world to protect what's his.
A mother who will face any danger to keep her daughter safe.
And a little girl who holds a power no one has ever seen before.
One impossible love. One dangerous secret. One choice that could save them all—or destroy everything.

Chapter: Chapter 65 — The DriveThey had been on the road for an hour past the gas station when Celeste said it. She had been watching the dark outside the window, the road unreeling ahead of them, Kendra's hands steady on the wheel. The silence between them had shifted into something she recognized — the quiet of two people who had been through something together and were now on the other side of it and didn't yet know what the other side looked like."I don't have a home to go back to," she said.Kendra glanced at her. "You have somewhere. Everyone has somewhere.""I burned that bridge." She kept her eyes on the window. "There is no going back.""People rebuild.""Not from this."Kendra was quiet for a moment. The road moved under them. Somewhere ahead the mountains were beginning to separate into shapes that meant they were getting close to territory Kendra recognized."What did you do," Kendra said.Celeste had been deciding how to say it for the last hour. There was no version that landed softly. There was only

Chapter: Chapter 64 — NorthThey drove through the night.Kendra kept her eyes on the road. Both hands on the wheel. Celeste watched the mirror — every set of headlights catalogued, assessed, held until it turned off or passed or fell far enough back to stop mattering. Most were nothing. A truck that rode their bumper for ten miles then swung off at an interchange. A sedan that matched their speed for long enough that Celeste's hand found the gun in her waistband before it turned onto a side road and disappeared.She left her hand there for another twenty minutes."It's gone," Kendra said."I know."She moved her hand back to her lap.The mountains fell away behind them. The road flattened into valley, rose again into foothills, the dark making everything the same color. Celeste watched the mirror. She thought about forty eight hours. A man waking from a drugged sleep, reaching for the woman beside him, finding the bed empty. The safe. The garage. The gate guard remembering two women and a late run.She stopped

Chapter: Chapter 63 — The RunThe safe opened on the first try.Celeste pressed his thumb to the sensor and felt the click release through her whole chest. She lifted the lid. Key card. A thick fold of cash. A gun, smaller than she expected. She took all three. The cash went inside her jacket, the key card into her pocket, the gun into the back of her waistband. Her hands were steadier than the rest of her.She looked at him once — the rise and fall of his chest, slow and even, a man sleeping off a celebration he had believed in completely.She went to the door.Kendra was in the corridor, dressed, a bag over one shoulder. She looked at Celeste's jacket, at the key card, at her face. Something passed between them that didn't need words. They moved.The compound ran on its nighttime logic. Kendra had mapped every beat of it — shift change at ten, kitchen closed, the lab corridor gone quiet after midnight. Celeste counted her steps and kept her breathing measured. Her heartbeat filled her ears.They turned the corne

Chapter: Chapter 62— Good GirlHis rooms were different from hers.Celeste had never been inside them before — he had always come to her, which she understood now as its own kind of control. His rooms were larger, darker, the furniture heavier, the window facing the mountain rather than the valley. A table had been set near the window, candles lit, two places, something that smelled of braised meat coming from the covered dishes on the sideboard. It was beautiful. She registered that before she could stop herself.Kendra stood at the sideboard. Celeste had arranged it that way — a quiet word that morning, Kendra's face giving nothing. She was there to serve. That was all anyone needed to know.Vargr was waiting. He looked at Celeste when she came through the door with the expression she had learned to read over three months — pleased, anticipating, a man holding something he was about to give. Something in her chest responded before her mind caught up. The groove held even when the meaning didn't."You look beautif

Chapter: Chapter 61 — The VialHe came in the morning, which was unusual.Celeste was at the vanity when the door opened, coffee in hand, halfway through her makeup, the room still carrying the quiet of early morning. Kendra was making the bed behind her. Then Vargr was in the doorway with a small case in his hand, his expression pleasant, unhurried, entirely at home."Good morning," he said.Celeste met his eyes in the mirror and smiled. "This is a surprise."He crossed the room and pressed his lips to her temple. "I had a few minutes." He glanced at the coffee cup. "You haven't eaten.""I was going to after.""You should eat first." He crossed to the small table by the window where the breakfast tray sat untouched and picked up a piece of bread and held it out to her. She took it because it was easier than not taking it. Three months of this had built its own momentum. The groove held even when the meaning didn't.She ate. He watched her with the warm satisfied attention of a man whose chosen woman was doing what

Chapter: Chapter 60— The OfficeThe guard came at midmorning.Kendra was making the bed when he knocked — one of his personal guards. He didn't speak. He held the door open and waited.She set the pillow down and followed him.Vargr's office was on the upper level, east side, the window behind his desk facing the mountain rather than the valley. She had been in it twice before. Both times had felt like this — the corridor, the silence that gathered around his door, the understanding that whatever happened inside this room happened outside the compound's normal logic.He was at his desk when she entered. Reading something, a pen in his hand, unhurried. The guard pulled the door closed behind her.Vargr looked up."Kendra." The voice he used with everyone he considered his. "Sit down."She sat.He set the pen down and gave her his full attention. That was the thing about him that three years hadn't made easier — the quality of his focus. When he looked at you he looked completely, and the attention felt total until yo
