ALORA- The next day

The packhouse gates loomed ahead like dark sentinels as Killian’s car rolled to a stop. I hadn’t realized how fast my heart was beating until the sound of the engine died, leaving only the hammering in my chest and the faint cries of the twins in the back seat.

Home. The word didn’t feel the same anymore.

Killian looked at me with a careful expression. “You ready?”

No. Not even close.

But I nodded anyway. “Let’s go.”

The guards straightened when they saw me step out. Their surprise was obvious — wide eyes, quick glances, and a few whispered murmurs echoing through the gatehouse. It had been weeks since I left, and rumor traveled fast in a pack.

Killian lifted the carriers with the twins, his calm presence grounding me as we walked up the stone steps. The front doors opened before I could even knock. Inside, the tension hit me before the voices did. There were loud overlapping voices coming from inside.

Catherine’s voice carried first. “You’ve brought shame on this

    LILITHI walked the remaining way through the forest with only one thought in my mind. Power.They would respect me once they saw me. They had to. Emory had trusted me more than he ever trusted any of them. He told me everything. He shared every plan, every strategy, and every weakness in Sebastian’s pack. I was the only one who could take his place.I was the only one worthy of that position. They might’ve never had a female Alpha before. But it was time.Branches scraped my arms as I pushed through the last line of trees, and then the rogue camp finally came into view — a wide clearing filled with tents, smoke, and wolves who froze the moment they saw me.A dozen pairs of eyes turned toward me.All hostile.Good. Let them stare.I straightened my back, tossed my hair back, and lifted my chin. “Well,” I announced, stepping into the clearing, “I see hospitality hasn’t improved since the last time I was here.”No one laughed or even said anything.A man I vaguely recognized with broad

    ALORA“I can’t believe she escaped.”I turned to Sebastian, feeling tired. “I can. It’s Lilith we’re talking about. Were you really expecting anything else? It’s just sad that she took that poor boy’s life with her.”“I don’t even know where to start. What am I supposed to do?” Sebastian said quietly.“I don’t know. She’s gone. Maybe we should just leave it at that. I know she’ll never truly be gone, but what else can we do? Utilizing soldiers to go out and find her will just be a waste of time and resources. Let her be. And if she comes back, we’ll deal with it.” I sighed. Sebastian was quiet for a long while before he spoke. “Are you okay?”I nodded absentmindedly. “Yeah, just tired.”“Right,” he fiddled with one of the kids' toys. “So… Killian left.”The mention of Killian’s name made me feel a small ache, but I pushed it away. “He did.”“It was nice what he did, driving you all the way.”I nodded once, still not tapping into the emotions I was feeling. “It was.”We were sitting i

    LILITHThe cell stank of iron and damp. I could taste rust in the air every time I breathed. The torches burned low, sputtering occasionally, throwing ugly orange shadows across the walls. The guards had stopped talking to me hours ago. I’d stopped trying to talk to them.It wasn’t worth wasting my voice.They thought I’d given up. That I was sitting here, broken and afraid, waiting for whatever punishment the Alpha decided. They didn’t know me at all.Alora’s words still rang in my head like the toll of a bell. “You murdered Anna.”The nerve. The sanctimonious, self-righteous—I smiled, even though no one could see me.They were all so predictable. Catherine with her false grace, Alora with her trembling pity, Sebastian with his hollow guilt. And that stupid Killian, standing there like the noble wolf come to save the day. They thought they’d cornered me.They hadn’t even begun to see what I was capable of.The guards outside my cell were whispering again. I caught bits of it — “Alph

    ALORA“Lucian?”His name slipped out before I could stop it.Both men turned.My father was standing behind the table, his face flushed and his jaw tight. Lucian stood a few feet away, shoulders tense, his hands balled at his sides. The energy between them was sharp enough to slice through the air. It looked like they’d been arguing.For a moment, no one spoke.Then my father cleared his throat, his voice low and clipped. “Alora. I didn’t expect you to be here tonight.”“Yeah,” I said, forcing a breath. “Neither did I.” My eyes flicked between the two of them. “What’s going on? Lucian? Why are you here?”Lucian’s expression softened when he saw me. “Alora… I didn’t know you were—”“Don’t,” my father cut him off sharply. “Not now.”“Don’t what?” I snapped, stepping forward. “What are you both doing? Why are you yelling like—” I stopped mid-sentence as realization started to crawl under my skin. The tension, the way my father looked at him, the way Lucian’s eyes flickered with something

    ALORAThe road stretched endlessly before us, gold dust swirling behind the tires as the morning sun dipped low on the horizon. The twins were asleep in the backseat, their soft snores filling the quiet hum of the car. Killian had one hand on the wheel, and his other was resting casually on the window frame, tapping his fingers to the rhythm of whatever old song was playing on the radio.“Tell me something,” he suddenly said, glancing at me from the corner of his eye. “If you had to pick one, and I mean just one movie to watch for the rest of your life, what would it be?”I laughed under my breath. “That’s not even a fair question.”“Sure it is. It’s a test of character.”“You’re ridiculous,” I said, rolling my eyes. “But fine. ‘Eternal Bite.’ The vampire one from, like, ten years ago.”Killian groaned dramatically. “Oh no, not that one.”I gasped. “Excuse me? It’s a classic!”“It’s an abomination.”“It is art, Alpha Killian.”He shot me a look that was half amusement, half disbelief.
