SHANE

I can’t breathe properly.

The second Roy stepped into the party with Juliet on his arm, everything around me started to blur. Laughter, lights, the thrum of music—all of it became a distorted hum beneath the rage pounding through my skull. My jaw clenched so tight I could feel the pulse in my temples.

He stood there like he belonged. Like he hadn’t tried to destroy me. Like he hadn’t betrayed me.

I kept my gaze fixed on him as he laughed with Juliet and nodded politely at a few people who clearly had no idea they were in the presence of a monster in sheep’s clothing.

Humans. Ordinary classmates. A few supernaturals here and there. But most of them were unaware of what Roy really was. What he had done.

“You okay?” Harley’s voice was soft beside me.

I blinked, grounding myself in her voice. I turned to look at her—and that was all it took for the heat inside me to falter slightly. Her eyes, full of concern, always managed to chip through the steel.

“No,” I admitted, my voice rough

    SHANEThe moment I heard that howl, I stopped thinking like a man. And started thinking like a wolf.It wasn’t just a warning call. It was a declaration. A challenge. A line being crossed.I crouched low, claws forming, bones shifting subtly beneath my skin—but not fully. Not yet. Caspian was at the surface, ready to take over, but I wasn’t giving him control. Not unless I had no choice.My eyes flicked around the circle.Harley stood behind me, her face pale but calm. Her hands still glowed faintly, like embers not yet cooled. The brothers had instinctively taken formation—Connor to the left, Kade to the right, Jasper a step behind Harley, shielding her like he would his own blood.That’s what we were now.Not just fighters.Pack.“I count five,” Connor muttered, his voice barely audible, sharp as a blade. “Maybe six. Can’t see beyond the brush.”“Roy wouldn’t send just a handful,” Jasper said. “This is a test.”“A message,” Kade growled.No one needed to say it aloud. We all knew wh

    HARLEYBy the time the sun dipped behind the horizon, the field behind the house no longer looked like the same place I stood in earlier.Torches flickered along its edge now, their flames swaying with the evening wind. The smell of ash and earth mixed with crushed herbs scattered in a perfect circle. Kade had drawn symbols in the dirt—strange, sweeping marks that pulsed faintly with energy even before the ritual began.This was no ordinary training.This was an awakening.Shane stood a few paces behind me, silent, steady. I hadn’t looked back at him yet, but I could feel his eyes on me like a heartbeat. They made it easier to breathe. Barely.Jasper and Kade moved in unison, setting down small iron bowls at each cardinal point around the circle. Each bowl held something different—ash, salt, moonstone shards, and water from a hidden spring Shane had fetched earlier that day. Jasper said these were elements of grounding. Kade just called them “anchors.”Connor stood to the side with hi

    HARLEYThe morning came slowly, dragging its gray light across the sky like paint on a faded canvas.I hadn’t slept.Not because of nightmares—but because I was afraid of what might happen if I dreamed.Ever since that night in the woods… since the wolf in the mist… the air around me had changed. I felt it in the way the shadows stretched just a little farther around my footsteps. In the way wind would sometimes curl toward my ear like it was whispering secrets.Magic.It lived beneath my skin now.And it didn’t like being ignored.I stood barefoot in the kitchen, watching the kettle hum. Steam twisted up into the air in soft, haunting spirals. My fingers tingled, that now-familiar ache pulsing at my palms. The warmth was back—gentle, coaxing. Like it was calling me to open the door I’d only just begun to crack.I pressed a hand against the wooden table.“Show me,” I whispered.At first, nothing.Then—softly—a tremor beneath the grain.It was small. Delicate. The wood groaned as if si

    CONNORThe war room was quiet.It wasn’t really a war room, of course. Just Jasper’s office in the back of the house—walls lined with old maps, dusty books, half-used notebooks and mismatched weapons propped in corners like forgotten relics.But tonight, it felt like a war room.Because war was coming.I stood with my arms folded, leaning against the far wall, eyes fixed on the map laid across the table. It had once belonged to our father. He used to trace the old pack lines with a silver pen, mumbling about honor and blood and balance, long before we understood what any of it really meant.Now those lines were nothing but scars.“Roy’s on the move,” Kade muttered, dragging a marker across the edge of the territory. “Baron’s wolves were spotted near the ridge line.”“Rogues don’t travel in groups unless they’re led,” Jasper added. “They’re organizing. That’s not instinct. That’s Roy.”Shane stood at the head of the table, his jaw locked, eyes unreadable. He hadn’t said much. He didn’t

    HARLEYThe house was too quiet.Not the peaceful kind of quiet. Not the comfortable silence that came after a long day, wrapped in blankets and breathing in sync with someone beside you.No—this quiet hummed. It watched.Like the walls were holding their breath.I sat cross-legged on the rug in Shane’s room, his hoodie swallowed around me, my bare feet pressed into the fabric as I stared at my hands.They looked the same.Soft, pale. No scars. No glowing marks. No runes carved into my palms like in those old witch stories.But I could feel it now.Something pulsing beneath the skin.Something awake.It hadn’t stopped since the library. Ever since Shane shifted and saved me—no, since before that. Since I heard his voice in my head. Since I knew I wasn’t just falling for him…I was becoming something else.He’d gone downstairs to speak with the others—Kade, Jasper, Connor. I could hear their voices faintly through the floorboards, low and tense. Planning. Preparing.They didn’t think I c

    ROYThe wind was sharp tonight.Cold, biting—like a warning carved into the air itself.But warnings didn’t move me.Not anymore.I stood atop the cliff at the edge of no-man’s-land, overlooking the valley where borders blurred. Behind me, the moon bled silver over barren trees. Below, the old ruins still whispered of power lost and blood spilled. These lands didn’t belong to any one pack now. They were cursed. Forgotten.Perfect for gathering wolves who had no home left to lose.The rogues.I tightened the leather strap around my wrist and watched as one by one, they emerged from the shadows. Feral eyes. Snarling mouths. Some limping from old battles, others practically dripping with rage.Broken things.But even broken things have their uses—if you know how to hold the leash.And I did.The largest of them stepped forward first—Baron. Half his face was scarred beyond recognition, and his left eye glowed white with blindness. But the other eye—sharp. Calculating.“You called,” he gro
