    "If you keep hovering over the boy's scent trail like a rogue wolf at a border crossing, Tyler, you're going to trigger his defensive instincts before we even clear the ridge," I barked, stepping directly between the High Alpha and the pup to break the stifling pressure of their locked gazes. "This is his very first transition into our territory. Of course his inner beast is going to be defensive! Drive him down to the Walker Ridge Estate, let him map out the stone corridors, and question his origins when his claws are back beneath his skin. My own wolf is starving after tracking him through the marsh, and the pup's stomach must be entirely hollow too!"I cast a deliberate, heavy glance toward Langston, dropping my eyelids just enough to signal the boy.Receiving the silent pack prompt, Langston let out a low, rough rumble from his throat, his small shoulders shifting under his leather tunic. "Yeah. My beast requires fresh kill. I am hungry.""Very well," Grant rumbled, his deep Alpha

    "But Abigail and Langston still look at the sky and wonder about their father’s pack," I whispered, the admission tearing at my throat. They never spoke the words aloud to spare my feelings, but a mother always knows when her pups are searching the wind for a missing scent."When their wolves mature, they will recognize the sacrifice you made to keep them breathing," Kenneth assured me, his voice steady and grounding. "The world doesn't remain static, Mars. The old elders won't rule the Silverwood forever. Their time will pass, and then the twins can claim their place beside Grant without a target painted on their backs."The sheer absurdity of his grim optimism brought a faint, genuine laugh from my chest."That is an incredibly dark way to comfort a friend, Kenneth.""It’s not dark, it’s the natural order. Vipers eventually consume each other. They will receive their comeuppance from the Moon."The shadow of my grief lifted slightly under his rough humor, but the mention of the futu

    "If you think you can just shut down your mind-link because I brought up his scent, Tyler, you’re acting like a beta pup," I muttered, leaning my back against the damp stone of the neutral lodge.Tyler shifted his weight on the other side of the connection, his thoughts radiating pure irritation. "You think I’m spinning a wild yarn? I took visual projections through my tracking lens just in case your wolf refused to believe my scout’s report! I’m pushing the memory crystals into your mental grid right now!""Keep them out of my head," I snarled back, the raw pressure of my own Alpha voice cutting through the link. "Mars has every right to seek a winter shelter with whatever rogue he chooses. Our contract was shredded when he crossed the northern line. Is there any actual pack business you need to report?"The absolute stillness in my mind-link must have caught Tyler off guard. I could feel his anticipation fading into confusion, as if he expected me to tear down the forest just to dra

    "If you keep refusing to move from this bench, Mars, my stomach is going to completely cave in, and you know the pack healer said my system can't handle skipping meals after a long patrol.""Kenneth, I know exactly what you’re doing with that pathetic whine, but fine. I’ll go with you. It’s better than sitting in my room letting my wolf rot in its own misery.""Thank the Ancestors. I should be the one praising your mercy for granting me your presence for a late-night hunt. Let’s get moving before the scent trail cools.""Langston, why did you flare the main crystal grid? You nearly blinded my wolf while I was tracking a dream.""Go back to sleep, Abigail. I completely forgot your cot was still positioned in this sector of the tent. I’m transmitting the security breaches to the Grand Master.""Let me look at the screen. What are all those pulsing green glyphs anyway? They look like a tangled briar patch.""You wouldn't understand the sequence, little sister. It’s the entire structural

    "Over here, Mars! Don't just stand there letting the Silverwood mist soak through your jacket. The truck is running.""Kenneth? What in the name of the Ancestors are you still doing idling on the border? I told you to take Jessa and the Reed-Walker twins across the marker hours ago.""You honestly believed I’d leave you to wander the edge of the Walker Ridge Estate alone? I had an old academy classmate intercept Jessa. He’s pack-bound to secrecy, so the pups are already safely past the secondary checkpoint. Now get inside before an Enforcer catches your scent.""My chest completely loosened at his words, a wave of pure relief crashing over my inner wolf. If Grant Walker had tracked my boys... but no, they were clear. I looked at Kenneth, feeling a deep, fiercely protective affection that had everything to do with brotherhood and absolutely nothing to do with a fated match.""You stayed behind just to act as my shadow, Kenneth? You didn't have to risk your rank for me.""I stay because

    "Mars, you have to realize that I’m not just spinning tales to get you to see things my way. I despise the thought of being the wedge that drives you and Grant apart, but we have to face the reality of the Reed-Walker twins. He’s the High Alpha of Westline Holdings, and you’re... well, you’re the substitute who walked away. You can’t just expect the Walker Ridge Estate to open its gates to a child of unknown lineage.""Look at him, Brooke! Grant is spiraling. First, he lets himself get entangled with Mars, and now this boy appears out of thin air claiming to be a Walker heir? It’s an insult to our bloodline!""Beatrice, please, calm your spirit. Your aura is lashing out and it’s going to alert the sentries. I’m not even angry about the lack of a formal title or a place in the pack hierarchy. As long as I can remain by Grant's side at the Walker Enterprises Tower, I’m satisfied. Truly.""Absolutely not! I owe you the position of the Primary Consort of this pack. You are the only one po

    I propped myself up on my elbows, staring at him. "You’re saying I’m moving into the Ridge? Permanently?""Is there a dispute?" he asked, his voice level.There was a massive dispute. Moving in meant our lives would be completely entwined. Every time I finished a rotation at the Walker Enterprises

    "I’m serious about this, Grant," I said, unable to mask the hunger in my voice. "Team 3 took a massive hit after the Westline Holdings disaster this cycle. Our end-of-year tributes and bonuses are basically non-existent. I see the SinoSuccess lands as our only path to redemption, and I want to be t

    Talk about the world being too small.I had braced myself for the possibility of catching the scent of a Reed family member in Havencrest, but I hadn’t expected to stumble over one so damn fast. It made sense now why that woman had started howling over the digital frequencies again—they were back f

    I knew the depth of the shadow my father had cast over my mother’s soul.Did I carry my own scars? You bet I did. My father hadn't just left; he had systematically bled our family dry, shifting our pack assets into hidden accounts and using psychological warfare to push my mother toward a breaking
