At the time of the call, Valkira was sitting in the back seat while Chris sat behind the wheel. The car was still parked, and he waited quietly as she spoke on the phone. When he glanced at her through the rearview mirror, he noticed the change in her almost immediately.

She had been calm a few minutes earlier, but now she was sitting completely still, her attention fixed on the phone. Chris had seen her angry before, but this was different. He could feel the killing intent coming from the back

    The executive boardroom was on the top floor of the building, far enough above the streets that the noise below barely reached it. A large mahogany table took up most of the center of the room. The windows stretched from floor to ceiling, but the heavy blinds were pulled shut, keeping out the noon sunlight and leaving the room dim.The air conditioner hummed from the ceiling vents, but it did little to cool the room. The heat seemed to build with the tension in the room, leaving sweat on people's foreheads and collars as they sat in silence. Nobody said a word. Even the ticking of the wall clock sounded unusually loud.Bruce sat at the head of the table, staring straight ahead without saying a word. His face had gone pale under the yellow lights, and his hands rested flat on the polished wood, his knuckles tense.The other board members shifted in their leather chairs, some wiping their damp palms on their trousers. They kept looking at Bruce, waiting for him to say something or tell

  • BETRAYED, REBORN, RETURNED: THE RISE OF THE FEMALE ALPHA    The Ruby Syndicate Alliance

    By noon that day, the bounty notice had spread across the werewolf continent. It moved through the dark market alleys first, then reached the underground fight pits before making its way into safe houses and across the border posts. Every contract killer with a working phone soon heard about the bounty, and the same message reached the rogue mercenaries scattered across the continent. Fifty million dollars for the medical center's leadership was already an enormous amount of money, but the hundred-million-dollar bounty on Valkira was enough to get almost anyone's attention. Both were life-changing amounts of money, and either one was enough to make someone take a dangerous chance. The news spread quickly through the dark markets. Shifters gathered in small groups, talking about the bounty and what they could do with that kind of money. Some were already making plans, convinced they could be the ones to collect it.“I heard some big names are already after Valkira.”“For a hundred

    An hour after the Shatter Ash system came online, the top floor executive suite at Skyline Center no longer felt like an office. It felt more like a tomb.The air was thick and hot, making the room feel uncomfortable the moment you stepped inside. Lucas had dimmed the lights to a dull yellow, and the main monitors were filled with red failure codes that kept flashing across the screens. Down on the main floor, the panic was spreading fast. Executives paced around their offices, shouting assistants hurried back and forth carrying paper messages. Some were so nervous that their hands shook as they tried to pass information around.Nobody could get through to anyone outside the building. The phones were dead, the systems weren't responding, and no one could reach the traders on the floor. They were completely cut off, with no clear idea of what was happening or how bad things had become.The counterattack came much faster than they expected. It was coming through an encrypted connection

    The ruined hall still smelled of smoke and broken glass, with dark splashes of blood scattered across the marble floor. Fred and the other Alphas remained backed against the far wall, their faces pale and their hands shaking.The high society guests who had been hiding behind overturned tables slowly began to peek out. Their earlier confidence was gone, replaced by uneasy looks and obvious regret.They had chosen their side, now they were starting to realize just how much that choice might cost them.Valkira stood in the middle of the wreckage, her torn coat hanging loosely from her shoulders, silver hair catching the light above her.She slowly shook her head, then turned her cold gaze back toward Fred and the other Alphas. She took a single step forward. The sound of her boot echoed through the high ceilinged hall, and Fred and the others flinched. “Tell Lucas this for me,” she said, her voice carrying across the ruined hall. “Hiding in the dark won’t save him. Five years ago, he

  • BETRAYED, REBORN, RETURNED: THE RISE OF THE FEMALE ALPHA    The Floor Sweep

    The first guard broke from the line and charged Valkira, crossing the marble floor in three quick strides with his blade raised and his eyes fixed on her throat. The million-dollar bounty had pushed his fear aside.The others followed immediately.The Gamma line surged forward, armored boots pounding against the marble as shields collided and weapons came up from every direction. Whatever discipline they'd been trained to maintain was already falling apart.Valkira stood her ground and faced the charging guards head-on. Then, in the space of a single heartbeat, the shift ripped through her body.Her bones cracked and reshaped beneath her skin. Muscle and sinew pulled tight as her body stretched and changed, growing larger with every second. The seams of her tactical coat gave way under the sudden strain, tearing apart as her frame expanded.Silver fur spread rapidly across her skin. Her fingers thickened and twisted into powerful paws, while her claws pushed out, dark and curved, each

    For a few seconds, nobody knew what to say or even how to react. The crowd slowly backed toward the walls, keeping as much distance from the confrontation as possible. Nervous whispers spread through the hall as people glanced between Valkira and the second most powerful werewolf on the continent. Yet somehow, the man who was supposed to command everyone's respect was still lying flat on his face. They had no idea what the beat-up little badge meant, but they weren't stupid. The moment they saw how everyone reacted to it, they knew it wasn't something to take lightly. A few exchanged uneasy looks, suddenly much more careful about what they said and did. Whatever that badge represented, it carried enough authority to make even the boldest people in the room think twice. Valkira slipped the piece of metal back into the inner pocket of her coat. The moment it touched her chest, a strange heaviness settled over her. The sadness came so suddenly that she wasn't prepared for it. The co
