Logan's pov

The sun came up too red.

It shone across the mountains like it was a Bloodmoon.

The courtyard smelled of burnt leaves. Wolves moved in silence, armor creaking, eyes a little too bright. They’d seen what clawed the gates last night. They just didn’t want to believe it.

I pulled on my jacket, tied the blade to my thigh. “We ride east,” I told Merek. “I want the missing scouts found before midday.”

He nodded, but his hesitation was obvious. “If what’s out there isn’t alive, Alpha—”

“Then it still bleeds,” I said.

Fiona stepped out of the main hall just as the riders gathered. Her hair was tangled, her expression unreadable. “You shouldn’t go alone.”

“I’m not.”

“I mean without me.”

“No.”

Her jaw clenched. “You don’t order me when it comes to danger.”

“I do when you’re the danger.”

Her eyes flashed silver, that new light I’d been pretending not to notice. “You think I’ll turn?”

“I think you don’t know what you are right now.”

The words hit harder than I meant them to. For a sec

  • A DEAL WITH THE ALPHA DEVIL   Dawn in Whiteclaw

    Logan's povThe sun came up too red.It shone across the mountains like it was a Bloodmoon.The courtyard smelled of burnt leaves. Wolves moved in silence, armor creaking, eyes a little too bright.

  • A DEAL WITH THE ALPHA DEVIL   Veils collapse

    Logan's povThe rain stopped, but the air didn’t clear. It stayed thick, electric, the kind that makes your skin itch before a storm. Only this wasn’t weather.It was what the veil left behind.We rode back to Whiteclaw in silence. Fiona was beside me, quiet, her face set. Her eyes were wrong, brighter than they should’ve been. When lightning flashed, they caught the light like metal.No one spoke of Gwen. No one needed to.When the gates came into view, the guards hesitated before opening them. The wind that followed us carried something that made them recoil.“Alpha,” one stammered. “The air’s… different.”“I know,” I said. “Keep the patrols inside the walls tonight.”He nodded, but I saw the fear in his eyes.Inside, the pack had gathered in the courtyard. Every wolf could feel it. The pulse in the ground. The wrongness in the air. Some shifted unconsciously, claws half out, hackles up.“Back to your quarters,” I ordered. “No one leaves until dawn.”They obeyed, but they moved like

  • A DEAL WITH THE ALPHA DEVIL   Amaiya's games

    Logan's povThe scent of Gwen’s blood hadn’t faded. It clung to the air like ash.Amaiya stood there, soaked from the storm, that wicked grin curving her mouth. She tossed the pendant again, letting it catch the firelight.“You should thank me,” she said. “She’d have slit your throat before sunrise.”“Where did you find that?” I asked.“In the eastern woods. With tracks leading north—toward the old ruins.”My wolf pressed hard against my skin. “You followed them?”Amaiya shrugged. “For a while. But I don’t chase ghosts, Alpha. Especially ones you still dream about.”Fiona stepped forward, eyes sharp enough to cut. “You’re lying.”Amaiya’s smile widened. “You’d like that, wouldn’t you?”“Say that again.”“Easy,” I snapped. “Both of you.”But Amaiya didn’t stop. She turned to me, voice soft now, too soft. “She ran to him, Logan. She didn’t need force. Maybe she missed what you used to be.”The words hit like a punch.I stepped closer, until the air between us turned dangerous. “You thin

  • A DEAL WITH THE ALPHA DEVIL   Behind the barricade

    Fiona's povRowan’s call. The kind that made the ground thrum and the air crawl down your spine.I didn’t wait for orders. I was already moving.Logan shouted my name behind me, but I didn’t stop. My pulse was wild. My wolf was louder.He was near.Outside, the courtyard blazed with movement—wolves shifting mid-run, guards raising alarms, lightning flashing behind the walls. The storm above felt alive, as if answering that cursed howl.Gwen was still inside. I could feel her presence like a stone in my throat.I didn’t trust her. The way she stood near Logan, the way her voice had softened when she said his name. It wasn’t just history. It was possession.I pushed the thought aside and sprinted toward the tower wall. The air stung my skin. My claws slid out without thought.Rowan’s scent was on the wind—iron, smoke, power.And something else. Fear.He wasn’t attacking yet. He was waiting.---Logan caught up to me at the gate, breath sharp, eyes glowing faint gold.“You shouldn’t be

  • A DEAL WITH THE ALPHA DEVIL   Raw and sharp moment

    Logan's povThe council chamber reeked of mistrust. Wolves whispered behind folded arms, and every glance felt like a blade turned sideways.I stood at the head of the table, listening, not speaking. Power wasn’t in noise. It was in silence that made others tremble first.But today, the silence worked against me.“They say Rowan still breathes,” Elder Merek muttered. “He’s gathering strays....”“Then they’ll choke on their loyalty,” I cut in.He flinched. The others went quiet. Yet I could feel it—something shifting beneath the surface. My pack wasn’t whole. Fiona wasn’t here. And that absence pressed against my ribs like a curse.A guard burst in, panting. “Alpha, there’s someone at the gates.”I didn’t ask who. My wolf already stirred. Familiar , buried under dust and memory.I left the chamber before anyone could follow.Outside, the sky carried the kind of stillness that warns before a storm. The guards formed a half-circle at the gate. In the center sat a rider cloaked in grey.“

  • A DEAL WITH THE ALPHA DEVIL   Inner conflict

    Fiona's povThe courtyard hadn’t cooled since Rowan’s retreat. Every step I took left a mark in the soot.Logan was somewhere behind me, silent as the shadows. He hadn’t said a word since Gwen vanished.I didn’t ask. I didn’t trust my voice to hold steady.Inside the hall, healers worked in silence. Wounded wolves lined the walls, faces pale under torchlight. One of them tried to bow when I passed. I told him not to.The fire in me hadn’t gone out. It only changed shape.When Serena met me near the stairwell, she didn’t speak. She just studied my face — her eyes sharp, her mouth set.“She’s real then,” she finally said.“Too real,” I answered.“She’s dangerous.”“So am I.”Serena stepped closer, her scent cutting through the smoke. “He froze when he saw her.”“I noticed.”“You’re going to let that go?”I looked past her, toward the shattered courtyard. “I don’t let go. I wait.”Serena’s lips curved, not quite a smile. “That’s worse.”Hours later, the hall emptied. The moon crept acros
