Alpha's Claim, Omega's Surrender 41
Before I could force another syllable past my lips, Grant had severed the link.The silence that followed was heavy, pressing in on me like the atmosphere before a storm. It felt as if the fragile bridge we’d built had collapsed, leaving us back at the formal distance of Alpha and subordinate. It was logical, really. He was in Verdant City with Brooke Caldwell—the high-born wolf who actually belonged at his side. What place could a contract-bound substitute like me truly hold once the real hunt began?I scrubbed my face, took a scalding shower to wash away the scent of the Tower, and pulled on my worn sleep-shreds. But as I lay in Jessa’s guest bed, the dark room felt like a cage. I tossed and turned, my mind looping through the image of the gauze on Grant’s forehead and the coldness in his eyes during the briefing.The moon was already beginning its descent toward the horizon. If I didn't catch some sleep now, I’d be a walking corpse at the Tower. I squeezed my eyes shut, but the sil

Kevin’s analysis of Genesis Creations Inc. was surgically precise, detailing every silver coin in their treasury, their expansion trajectory, and the recent shifts in their board of directors. He had clearly tracked their scent across the entire territory.He then pivoted to the viability of our current technological developments in the Silverwood sector. Suddenly, I felt my pulse spike as my own name echoed through the link."Mars has recently flagged a new propulsion project to the Prosperity Consortium. It’s currently sitting on the High Alpha’s desk for final clearance. I’ve reviewed the schematics, and if the output is as stable as the data suggests, it could be the catalyst Westline Holdings needs to dominate the sector."The speaker was the Director of Investments, a formidable wolf within the Walker hierarchy. Behind his screen, Grant offered a slight, imperceptible nod. He didn’t even blink. "Kevin, maintain a close watch on that trail.""I’ve already vetted the lead," Kevin

It was nearly noon when I finally found a gap to breathe. My fingers felt stiff from the keyboard, and the sterile hum of the Walker Enterprises Tower was starting to grate on my nerves.Subconsciously, I reached for my slate and swiped into our encrypted thread.Silence. The chat with Grant was the third one down, the last message still that cold warning I’d sent about the clinic.Knock knock.I looked up to see Kevin leaning against the doorframe.“Keep your eyes on Genesis Creations Inc. out at Lumina Bay,” he said, his tone shifting into professional gear. “They’ve been snapping up territory and tech assets all cycle. That’s the reason the Alpha is on this circuit—the Tower is looking at a private placement to buy into their momentum.”“Understood.” I immediately pulled up the dossier on Genesis.Kevin chuckled at my intensity. “Easy, Reed. The Westline Holdings deal is inked, and the project is moving. You’ve put in enough sweat on the Social Networking Service to guarantee your

It was true that since the crash, my slate hadn't buzzed with even a single ping from Mars Reed."Scent the air, Grant," Jeffrey said, his voice dropping into a low, predatory rumble. "There is a wolf out there better suited for the Walker line. Someone who actually tracks your heartbeat."He might as well have whispered Brooke Caldwell’s name.But Grant just pressed his lips into a thin line, his eyes anchored to the dark screen of his slate. He didn't offer a single word of defense.Seeing the Alpha like that, Jeffrey let out a jagged sigh. "Fine. I’ll stop barking. You’re the one who has to lead this pack. Do you need help with your gear? Your circuit to Verdant City starts tonight.""No. I’m driving myself back to the Walker Ridge Estate first.""You’re going back to him?" Jeffrey knew Mars was still entrenched there. "I can retrieve your ritual clothes for you.""No need." Grant’s reply was a sharp snap.His feelings were written in the tension of his jaw. He was still holding on

My thoughts felt like a stagnant marsh, thick with a cold, suffocating fog that made every breath a struggle. I practically crawled out of the hospital, my legs throbbing with a dull, leaden heat from standing through the entire lunar cycle.I couldn't go another step. A small, early-morning apothecary and cafe was just opening its shutters. I stumbled inside, pointing blindly at a menu before collapsing into a chair to let my heart slow down.The proprietor, an older woman with the kind eyes of a healer, brought over a plate of fried eggs and warm goat’s milk. She gasped when she caught my scent and saw my face."Great Spirits, lad, what happened to you? You're bleeding! We need to seal those tracks."She hurried to the back for some antiseptic and yarrow salve. Only then did I catch my reflection in the dark glass of my slate.It was a jagged mess.Brooke’s claws had raked a line dangerously close to my eye. Between my own grimacing and the cold air, the wound had split and started

The scenario had spiraled so far off the scent that I was starting to feel the silver-sting of a panic attack!Where in the Great Forest was Kenneth going to conjure two elders to play his parents? If he kept this charade going while my mother played hardball, this wasn't just a white lie anymore—it was a full-blown pack heresy.As he stepped into the hall to make a link-call, I cornered him. "Kenneth, this is insanity! Your parents have duties to their own pack; they can't just drop their hunt and sprint to Silverwood.""He’s the one who claimed his elders were eager to meet me," Bella called out from the bed, her voice sharp as a claw. "What’s the crime in me accepting a formal introduction?"Bella had clearly mapped out a thousand ways to scent-test whether I was truly bonded or just playing house with some high-born Alpha. I was caught between a landslide and a precipice. I glanced toward the door. "I’m going to see if his parents are even available. If it’s not a good time, Mom,
