Wolves in Disguise

The whispers hadn’t died.

Three days since the gala kiss, New York was still fed on it like wolves on a fresh kill. Screens flashed headlines every hour, tabloids churned out speculation, and pack forums boiled with opinion.

Some called it weakness. Others called it treason. A few, mostly young wolves drunk on romance and rebellion, called it destiny.

But in the Blackthorn estate, it was shame.

Aiden walked the halls with his head high, but every time he passed another wolf, he heard it—the shift in tone, the too-quick silence, the half-hidden smirk. Pups snickered. Elders muttered. Even his father’s men looked at him differently, as if the kiss had stained him more than any wound ever could.

At the training yard, one of the younger enforcers sneered loud enough for everyone to hear. “Careful sparring with him. He might kiss you instead of killing you.”

Laughter rippled.

Aiden’s fist connected with the boy’s jaw before the laughter had even died. The wolf crumpled in the dirt, and sil

  • Alpha’s Enemy, Alpha’s Mate   Pressure Points

    The city didn’t return to normal.It pretended to.Aiden felt the difference immediately the next morning. Movement resumed, schedules held, transit ran on time—but the ease was gone. People moved with intention now, not habit. Pauses lingered where none had before. Every space felt aware of itself.Julian’s response had been swift and precise.Containment without acknowledgment.Dante watched the street from the window as Aiden sat at the small table, fingers steepled, eyes unfocused.“He’s isolating yesterday,” Dante said. “Reframing it as an anomaly.”“Yes,” Aiden replied. “But anomalies leave residue.”The bond pulsed—quiet agreement.They didn’t leave immediately. Visibility mattered, but so did timing. Julian would expect repetition. Expect Aiden to stand again.So Aiden didn’t.Instead, he waited.By midday, the pressure began to surface elsewhere. Notices appeared—revised pedestrian flow rules, new “safety guidelines” that encouraged movement, discouraged congregation. Nothing

  • Alpha’s Enemy, Alpha’s Mate   The Cost of Standing

    The city pushed back.Not violently. Not yet.It resisted in subtler ways—through delays, quiet denials, procedural friction that wore people down without ever revealing a single villain. Aiden felt it the moment he stepped outside the shelter the next morning. The air itself seemed heavier, as though the city had decided to test how long conviction could last under pressure.Dante noticed too.“They’ve tightened the margins,” he said as they walked. “Everything takes longer. Costs more.”“Yes,” Aiden replied. “That’s deliberate.”Julian didn’t need fear to restore control. Fatigue would do.They moved through a neighborhood that had once been predictable—shops opening on schedule, transit humming smoothly. Now, doors open late. Lines stalled without explanation. People stood waiting, irritation simmering beneath forced patience.Aiden watched carefully.This was how systems punished without appearing to punish.A man ahead of them argued quietly with a transit official. No raised voi

  • Alpha’s Enemy, Alpha’s Mate   The Weight of Choice

    The city didn’t explode into chaos the way people always expected after the truth surfaced.It adjusted.Aiden noticed it first in the smallest places—the way shopkeepers paused before answering questions they used to brush aside, the way transit lines shifted subtly without official announcements, the way people began to look at one another just a fraction longer than before. Awareness didn’t roar. It seeped.And seepage was harder to contain.Aiden and Dante moved through a crowded district that afternoon, blending easily into the flow. No one pointed. No one stared. But Aiden could feel the undercurrent—conversations stopping when they passed, glances exchanged when names were mentioned. The rumor had matured. It was no longer speculation.It was a choice.“They’re thinking,” Dante said quietly as they crossed an intersection. “That’s more dangerous than fear.”“Yes,” Aiden agreed. “Fear can be redirected. Thought can’t.”The bond pulsed—steady, grounded, threaded with unease.They

  • Alpha’s Enemy, Alpha’s Mate   When the Quiet Breaks

    The first crack didn’t come from Julian.It came from the city.Aiden felt it in the early hours of the morning, before the sky fully lightened—an uneasy ripple through the bond, sharp enough to pull him from sleep. He sat up instantly, breath shallow, senses stretching outward.Dante stirred beside him.“What is it?” he asked, already half-awake.Aiden pressed his palm to his chest, grounding himself. “They’re talking.”Dante frowned. “Who?”“Everyone.”It wasn’t panic. Not yet. It was something more dangerous—momentum. Conversations spread without coordination, stories are exchanged in low voices, and fragments of truth collide with fear and speculation. The silence they had cultivated had finally reached its breaking point.And it wasn’t breaking evenly.Aiden swung his legs over the side of the bed and stood, moving toward the window. The city looked the same—traffic starting, lights flickering off as day claimed the streets—but beneath it, the current had shifted.“They’ve starte

  • Alpha’s Enemy, Alpha’s Mate   Lines in the Dark

    Movement changed everything.Aiden felt it immediately—the shift in the air, the way the city no longer pressed in on him as a weight but opened like a puzzle. Streets weren’t just routes anymore; they were options. Corners weren’t shelter; they were variables. Every step carried intention.This was what silence had been preparing him for.Dante walked half a pace behind him, eyes scanning reflections, posture loose but ready. They hadn’t spoken since leaving the shelter. Words felt unnecessary now. The bond carried enough—steady, alert, threaded with tension that hadn’t yet found release.They reached the building just before sunrise.From the outside, it was forgettable—another anonymous structure folded into the city’s spine. No signage. No visible security. The kind of place designed to vanish into routine.Aiden paused at the entrance.“This is one of them,” he said quietly.Dante nodded. “Not the core. But close enough to bleed.”Inside, the air was stale, humming faintly with c

  • Alpha’s Enemy, Alpha’s Mate   The Danger of Silence

    Silence didn’t mean absence.It meant accumulation.Aiden felt it everywhere now—in the way people paused before speaking near him, in the careful neutrality of public channels, in the sudden gaps where conversation used to flow freely. Silence was no longer empty. It was charged.They’d rotated again, this time to the edge of the city where industrial zones bled into forgotten housing projects. Fewer eyes. Fewer stories. But even here, the quiet followed them.Dante noticed it too.“They’re waiting,” he said as they settled into the new space. “Not watching. Waiting.”Aiden nodded.“That’s worse.”The bond pulsed—tight, alert.They’d stopped speaking publicly as planned. No statements. No clarifications. No responses to distortion. The signal had been sent; now they were letting it drift.The problem was that the drift created a vacuum.And vacuums begged to be filled.Elia’s updates had slowed, becoming less frequent, more carefully worded. That alone told Aiden something had shifte
