POV: Isla Reid

Location: Meg's Flophouse, Whitechapel

Time: Two Months Post-Bite

I'm stitching up a knife wound on a packless wolf when I hear the screaming. It's coming from the street outside the flophouse. High-pitched, terrified. Young.

The wolf I'm working on, a male named Derek, nods toward the window. "Another one. That's the third this week."

"Third what?"

"Newly turned wolf. Probably just survived first transformation. They always end up here eventually." Derek winces as I pull the thread through. "You should stay out of it. Not your problem."

I finish the stitches and head downstairs. Meg's already at the door. Outside, a crowd's gathered around someone on the ground. A girl, maybe seventeen, curled in a ball and screaming.

"Turned wolf," Meg says quietly. "First transformation was probably last night. Body's still adjusting."

The girl's covered in blood. Her own blood from where her skin split during transformation. Her clothes are shredded. She's barefoot. And she's scream

Author's Note: Isla finds her purpose in the worst possible way. Watching a wolf die in her arms because she doesn't have resources to save him. But instead of giving up, she decides to organize. To build something. A shelter for newly turned wolves who the system abandons. She's got no money, no support, just four terrified teenagers and a nurse's instinct to help. This is how Isla becomes who she needs to be. Not through triumph. Through failing to save someone and deciding that failure won't happen again.

Three months after Father's death, three months after Callum's conviction, I'm being officially recognized as permanent pack leader.It's a formality. I've been acting as Alpha since Father died. But the ceremony makes it official. Makes it permanent. No more provisional status.

No changing course. You're committed to the path you've chosen.""I chose this path months ago. The ceremony's just recognition.""Is it? Or is it the moment you become what you've been pretending to be?" Declan's

My hands shake constantly from silver poisoning. And I can't remember what it feels like to not be in pain.But I'm still alive. That's more than most wolves in here can say.I'm in the exercise yard when Kristoff approaches. Kristoff's the cellblock boss. Alpha wolf who's been in the Cage for three years. Survived by being meaner than anyone else. Vampire guards respect him because he keeps order."Brennan. You're fighting tonight.""Fighting what?""Who. Prison fighting pits. Wolves versus wolves for vampire entertainment." Kristoff looks me over. "You're scrawny but you've got training. Pack wolf background. Might be worth betting on.""I don't want to fight.""Wasn't a question. Guards assigned you. You fight or you go to the Black Chamber for a week." Kristoff grins. Teeth missing from previous fights.

    POV: Callum BrennanLocation: Supernatural Prison, Week TwoTime: Day TwelveI've been in the Cage for twelve days. My rib's healing wrong. The cuts on my face are infected. I can't sleep because the silver burns constantly. And I've lost at least fifteen pounds because the food makes me sick.But I'm still alive. That counts for something.I'm lying on the metal cot when guards appear outside my cell. Three vampires. They're not the regular patrol. These ones are wearing different uniforms. Black instead of gray."Prisoner 4729. On your feet."I stand slowly. Everything hurts. The movement pulls at partially healed injuries."Where are we going?""Disciplinary review. The warden wants to see you."I haven't broken any rules. Haven't caused problems. Haven't even spoken to other prisoners. But that doesn't matter here. The guards don't need reasons to hurt you.They chain my wrists and ankles. The silver burns where it touches skin. I've got permanent scars now from where the chains r

    POV: Callum BrennanLocation: Supernatural Prison (The Cage), North LondonTime: First DayThe jury deliberated for thirty-seven minutes. That's how long it took twelve supernaturals to decide I'm guilty of murder and embezzlement. Thirty-seven minutes to destroy my life.Judge Harborough read the verdict without emotion. "On the charge of murder of a human, we find the defendant guilty. On the charge of embezzlement of pack funds, we find the defendant guilty."The courtroom reacted. Gasps from pack members. Satisfied murmurs from prosecutors. Silence from Cormac, who sat in the front row maintaining his devastated brother performance.Harborough sentenced me immediately. "Six months in supernatural prison, followed by permanent exile from your pack. Packless status for life. You are remanded to custody immediately."No appeals. No delays. Guards dragged me from the courtroom in silver chains while pack members watched. Some looked sympathetic. Most looked relieved the criminal was b

    POV: SilasLocation: Warehouse, ShadwellTime: Same Night as Callum's HoldingI'm cataloging bodies when Tom arrives with news. Three corpses on my tables tonight. Two werewolves, one vampire. All died violently. All worth money to the right buyers.The first werewolf's a packless male, maybe thirty, killed in the fighting pits. Bill Bolter sent the body over an hour ago. Clean kill, throat torn out, died fast. The organs are intact. Necromancers will pay well for the heart.The second werewolf's messier. Female, turned wolf, died during transformation. Her body rejected the change. This happens sometimes with turned wolves. The mortality rate's forty percent during first transformation. This one was part of that forty percent.The vampire's unusual. Staked through the heart but not burned. Someone wanted the vampire dead but left the body intact. That suggests professional hit, not personal vendetta. I'll have to investigate who ordered it.I photograph each body from multiple angles
