Zarek’s tires screeched as he skidded to a halt outside the decrepit warehouse on the outskirts of the city, the address on the parchment etched into his mind like a brand. The building loomed like a forgotten tomb, its rusted walls cloaked in shadows, the air thick with the metallic tang of blood and the acrid bite of fear. His wolf snarled within him, senses sharpening to a razor’s edge—Selene’s scent was here, faint but unmistakable, laced with pain and desperation. And beneath it, another familiar thread: Leila’s.

His sister.

Zarek kicked the door open, his boots crunching over shattered glass as he stormed inside. The cavernous space was dimly lit by flickering overhead bulbs, casting long, grotesque shadows across the concrete floor. Chains rattled softly in the draft, and there, in the center of the room, hung the heart of his nightmare.

    Zarek’s tires screeched as he skidded to a halt outside the decrepit warehouse on the outskirts of the city, the address on the parchment etched into his mind like a brand.

    The phone in Zarek’s hand vibrated again, sharp and relentless. He answered without hesitation, his voice already a growl.“Who is this?”Maximus’s laughter slithered through the line, low and venomous. “Haven’t you decided yet, my son? Your Luna or your crown?”Zarek’s jaw tightened, rage clawing his insides. His wolf paced furiously beneath his skin.“Do not hurt Selene,” he warned, his tone edged with steel.Maximus’s voice softened mockingly, like silk hiding a blade. “Then drop your title. Hand it over to me, and your Luna will be safe. It’s simple, isn’t it? A choice between love and power. But tell me, Alpha—without one, do you truly have the other?”Zarek’s hand shook as he pressed the phone tighter to his ear. His voice came rough, guttural. “Fine. I will hand it over. But Selene comes first.”There was silence for a long, agonizing moment. Then, another voice bled into the call, one Zarek hadn’t expected to hear in his darkest nightmares.“Orion.”The name tore from his lips

    ZAREKThe packhouse was unrecognizable when I reached it. Smoke curled into the night sky, the sharp tang of blood clinging to the air. My wolves’ howls had faded into silence, broken only by the crackle of flames and the sickening stench of death.I slammed the car door and ran, my heart in my throat, the bond with Selene stretching thin and fragile. She wasn’t here. She wasn’t anywhere.“Selene!” I roared, my voice shaking the night.The courtyard was a graveyard. Bodies littered the stone, rogues and wolves alike, their blood dark against the silver moonlight. My chest constricted as I stepped forward, scanning desperately for her, praying to the Moon Goddess for one glimpse—one sign.Instead, I found him.Luca lay at the steps of the packhouse, his blade fallen from his hand, his body broken. His chest was still, his eyes wide but glassy, fixed on a sky he could no longer see.I staggered toward him, dropping to my knees. My fingers shook as I closed his eyes, pressing my forehead

    SELENE“Selene,” Zarek called, his voice deep, commanding.“Alpha,” I answered, my voice low.He stepped into the room, his shoulders tense, his jaw set. I could tell something was wrong the second I saw him. His presence carried weight, but tonight there was something sharp in his eyes.“Your uncle just called me,” Zarek said. “Said rogues are gathering at the east docks. He swore it’s urgent, too many for him to handle alone.”My stomach twisted. Maximus. Always Maximus. I didn’t trust him, not with the way he looked at me, not with the way he whispered poison into the shadows of this pack.“Do you believe him?” I asked quietly.Zarek exhaled, dragging a hand down his face. “I don’t have a choice. If rogues slip past the docks and into the city, we’ll have more than rumors to deal with.” He glanced at me, softer this time. “It could be nothing, Selene. Or it could be everything. I have to check.”I wanted to argue, to grab his hand and beg him not to leave, but I knew the kind of Al

    In a dim alley on the city’s edge, where the streetlights flickered and the air reeked of damp stone, Evelyn leaned against a crumbling wall, her arms crossed, eyes scanning the shadows. Her jaw was tight, her dark braid fraying from a long night of moving unseen. Footsteps echoed, deliberate and heavy, and Uncle Maximus stepped into the faint light, his silver-streaked beard catching the glow. His broad frame loomed, his expression hard as granite.“You’re late,” Evelyn snapped, her voice low, sharp.Maximus smirked, unbothered. “Had to make sure no one followed. You’re not the only one with enemies, girl.”She straightened, her eyes narrowing. “I’m done waiting, Maximus. You promised me Luna if Selene’s out of the picture. So, what’s the plan?”He stepped closer, voice dropping to a gravelly whisper. “Selene’s the pack’s darling now, carrying Zarek’s heir. But that’s her weakness. The pack won’t follow a frail Luna or a distracted Alpha. We hit her where it hurts—make it look like a

    SELENEThe night deepened around us, the city’s hum fading into a gentle lull as the stars blinked awake above. The terrace was bathed in silver moonlight, the air cool against my skin, carrying the faint scent of jasmine from the gardens below. Zarek’s arm was still around me, his warmth anchoring me against the uncertainties that lingered in my heart. The bundle of baby clothes sat beside us, a quiet promise of the future, but in this moment, it was just us—Selene and Zarek, two souls tangled in love and longing.I turned my face toward him, my lips brushing the edge of his jaw. His breath hitched, a subtle shift that sent a spark through me. His eyes met mine, dark and molten, reflecting the starlight and something deeper, something hungry. The weight of the day—the woman’s grief, the city’s hopes, the flutter of our child—seemed to melt away, leaving only the pull between us.“Selene,” he murmured, his voice low, rough, like a prayer he wasn’t sure he deserved to speak.I didn’t a
