VALENTINA CORVINO

I'm running messages through the Rookeries when I smell the blood club vampire following me. Not the first time. Won't be the last. Being dhampir makes me valuable target for vampire recruitment.

Dhampir means half-vampire. One parent vampire, one human. We're rare. Daywalkers. Stronger than humans, faster than full vampires in sunlight. Parliament wants us controlled or eliminated.

  • Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance)   Finn's Training

    POV: Finn | East End, True Pack training grounds, then privateMy schedule has a structure I understand better now than when it started. It's the structure of someone being prepared for something rather than just being educated like regular kids are. The understanding came gradually, from the inside, not because anyone told me directly. That's how most important understandings arrive.Mornings are school—the ordinary kind that Papa and Moira insisted on. It's at a school in the East End with human children who don't know what I am. It's the specific ordinary part of a schedule that's not otherwise ordinary. School is my favorite part because there, I'm just a seven-year-old who's good at reading and has strong opinions about lunch. My supernatural nature isn't something I have to manage there.Afternoons are combat training, which started three months ago at my request. It has exactly the quality I expected it to have—the quality of something my body understands more than my mind does

  • Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance)   More Children

    POV: Isla | The Sanctuary, RookeriesTwenty-four children.I didn't plan for twenty-four. I planned for fifteen—the number that arrived from Fell's facilities five years ago. Everything about the sanctuary has been organized around that number: the staffing, the space, the supply network, the specific rhythm of a care environment that's calibrated itself to a particular group of people with a particular set of needs.Eight new children arrived from Manchester four days ago, and now everything's off. The calibration is wrong in all the ways calibration gets wrong when the number it was built for changes significantly and quickly. I'm in the process of rebuilding it—which is work I know how to do after doing this for so long—but knowing doesn't stop it from being exhausting.The sanctuary is now three buildings, an expansion that happened faster than physical expansion usually does. The truce produced something I didn't fully anticipate—volunteers who were previously affiliated with onl

  • Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance)   The Manchester Raid

    POV: Callum | Manchester facilityThis joint operation is the first real thing to come out of the truce, and honestly, neither pack expected it to happen this fast. It's like we're being tested before we've even figured out all the rules of our new arrangement. But the practical test is actually clearer than the theoretical framework about what this truce really means when it counts.Twenty-four wolves from the Rookeries and sixteen from True Pack. That's the number I came up with after running the operation against what we know about the facility's setup. Forty wolves heading north in two vehicles, and you can feel the awkwardness that comes when mixed groups haven't worked together before. But the reason we're here is big enough to override the discomfort of not knowing each other.Cormac and I haven't actually talked since we signed the treaty three weeks ago. It's not a hostile silence or anything. Just the kind of quiet that happens when two people sign a document and then give i

  • Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance)   Dante's Mission

    POV: Dante | Manchester, surveillance positionThe rain's been coming down for hours, straight through the night, and I'm sitting here in my car watching this warehouse like it's the most important thing in the world. Which, I guess, it is.Five years of this shit has a way of becoming your whole life. Not a job. A life. The kind of life you build around something personal, something you can't just clock out from when things get messy or when you don't get the result you wanted.Valentina.And I'm not saying that for effect. I'm saying it because it's the truth. It's why I'm still doing this when the trail's gone cold. It's why I'm parked here in Manchester on a Tuesday in November, soaked through with this miserable rain that's been falling since 4 AM, testing whether I'm actually committed to this whole revenge mission in the most boring way possible.The Order fell apart after we took down Fell. That's what I expected to happen. But here's the thing about an organization built on k

  • Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance)   The Formal Agreement

    POV: Alteroni | Crimson Parliament, ceremonial chamberThe ceremonial chamber of Crimson Parliament hasn't hosted a treaty signing between wolf packs since 1847. That was the last time the supernatural community needed formal witnessing for an inter-pack agreement—a territorial division that ended a twelve-year conflict that cost both packs way more than the agreement did. I'm not pointing out the parallel out loud. A ceremony like this doesn't need commentary.The chamber's been prepared with the kind of attention Parliament's staff gives to rare events. Formal seating arranged for witnessing, not a session. Parliament members positioned as observers, not judges. The right procedural distinction that also creates a physical arrangement different from what both packs are used to seeing—the institution in a supporting role rather than governing.Supernatural London showed up in numbers the chamber couldn't fully accommodate. The overflow crowds are in adjacent rooms, listening to the a

  • Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance)    Cormac's Acceptance

    POV: Cormac | East End, True Pack meeting hallThe True Pack's meeting hall is a warehouse in the East End, reconfigured into a circle with the Alpha at the center. It's a setup that feels different from the Rookeries' main hall—more contained, like a world turned inward on itself rather than pointing outward.One hundred and twenty wolves fill the space. Everyone's here. Just like in Callum's pack when the same question was posed.I've read Callum's message three times. Not because the words changed, but because I needed to let them sink in completely before standing in front of my pack. Now, holding that message in my mind, I face them.Old Gray is in the circle, watching me with that expression he's worn since I became Alpha—the look of someone who agreed to this arrangement because it made strategic sense, and has been waiting ever since to see if it will deliver what he expected. So far, he hasn't found what he's looking for.I lay out Callum's proposal exactly as it is—no sugarc
