"Vivienne?" Laura repeated the name. "Who was she?"

Nikolai stood up abruptly and walked to one of the small windows. Lightning flashed across his face, turning his profile to silver for a brief moment. The muscles in his jaw tightened as he stared out at the storm.

"Not who you should be asking about," he said finally.

Laura set the journal aside and rose to her feet. "Then who?"

For a long moment, only the sound of rain filled the silence between them. Then Nikolai turned to face her, his eyes darker than she'd ever seen them.

"My mate," he said. "The one I never speak of."

The words hung in the air like smoke. Laura felt a strange tightness in her chest. "You had a mate?"

"Her name was Elizabeth." His voice was soft, almost gentle—so unlike the Nikolai she knew. "Daughter of Alpha Thornfield of the Eastern Territories."

Laura remembered hearing that name in whispered conversations. "The pack that fell five years ago..."

"Yes." Nikolai moved to a shelf and pulled down a small wooden

    The tension in the air shifted as Laura's outburst stunned the four Alphas into silence. The mark's silver glow pulsed beneath her clothing, slowly dimming as her breathing steadied. She hadn't meant to explode like that, but seeing these powerful men act like squabbling children had pushed her over the edge.Zephyr's eyes remained fixed on her chest, where the light of the mark still faintly shimmered through her thin shirt.Dante noticed his stare and smirked. "See something you like, Duskbane?"Zephyr's head snapped toward Dante, his usually controlled expression cracking. "Watch your mouth, Stormborn.""Or what?" Dante took a step forward, eyes glinting with challenge. "You've been staring at her chest for about three minutes straight. At least I have the decency to be obvious about my intentions."Laura's eyes widened as Zephyr's fist clenched at his side—a gesture she'd never seen from the always-composed Alpha."I was observing the mark," Zephyr said, his voice dangerously quie

    The smell of smoke drifted through the mansion as servants rushed to pack whatever valuables they could carry. Laura watched from the doorway of her room, a small bag clutched in her hands. She hadn't brought much when she'd fled from Kieran, and haven't taken much from her journey from Lucian to Zephyr to Dante and now Nikolai. She wouldn't start taking much now.Just her dagger, a change of clothes, and the moonstone necklace Zephyr had given her.Zephyr...."Are you ready?" a voice jolted her back to reality.She turned to find Lucian leaning against the doorframe, his massive frame nearly filling the space. His eyes swept over her, lingering on the bandage covering the claw marks on her arm which for some reason was taking time to heal."Yes," she said, tightening her grip on the bag. "Where exactly are we going?" she asked again even though she knew."War camp," Lucian replied, his voice gruff. "Neutral territory at the edge of the mountains. Dante's men have been there for a wee

    Two weeks later, Kieran stood at the mouth of a cave so dark it seemed to swallow the torchlight. Beside him, Elise vibrated with excitement."She's in there," Elise whispered. "The most powerful witch in the western territories."Kieran hesitated. Every instinct warned him to turn back, but the memory of Laura walking away from him and getting entangled with the four alphas, the whispers of his pack members behind his back, the disrespect from the other Alphas—it all pushed him forward.The cave twisted downward, the air growing colder with each step. Finally, they emerged into a chamber lit by strange blue flames that danced in stone bowls.In the center, a woman sat cross-legged on the ground. Her age was impossible to determine—her face was neither young nor old, but somehow both at once. Her eyes, when they opened, were solid black."Alpha Kieran," she said, her voice like dry leaves scraping stone. "I've been expecting you."Kieran's wolf stirred uneasily. "How do you know my na

    The last trace of connection snapped as Kieran pulled his consciousness back from the shadow wolf. His eyes faded from pitch black to their normal amber color, and he slumped forward in his throne, breathing hard."Did you find her?" Elise's voice came from beside him, soft and eager to please as always.Kieran's hands gripped the armrests so tight his knuckles turned white. "Yes," he hissed through clenched teeth. "She was there, just as my spies reported."He could still see Laura in that thin nightgown, fighting with a fierceness that made his blood boil. And those marks... the way she'd destroyed his shadow wolf with that strange silver light."She's stronger and different now," he muttered. "Something's really changing in her."Elise moved behind his throne, her delicate hands coming to rest on his shoulders. Her touch was cool against his fevered skin."You're stronger too," she whispered, leaning down so her lips brushed his ear. "Stronger than you've ever been. Stronger than a

    Laura's hands shook as she closed her bedroom door behind her. The image of Lucian—powerful, unbreakable Lucian—caught in the grip of nightmares wouldn't leave her mind. She sank onto the edge of her bed, touching her wrist where his fingers had gripped her. It didn't hurt, not really, but she could still feel the heat of his touch, the desperation in his eyes before he recognized her."Amara," she whispered the name to the empty room. His mate. A woman he'd loved and lost. A woman whose death he blamed himself for.Laura hugged herself, suddenly cold despite the warm night air drifting through her open window. How had her life become this complicated? Four months ago, she had been Luna to the Silver Moon Pack, devoted to Kieran, believing in their future together.Now...Now she was caught between four powerful Alphas, each one dangerous in his own way. Each one connected to her by a bond she still didn't fully understand.Laura stood and began pacing the length of her room, thought

    Laura looked between the two Alphas, trying to process everything. "Then we go to Zephyr's territory as planned," she said repeating what she said last. "His pack has been hit the hardest."Lucian's eyebrow rose slightly. "We're not going to Zephyr's lands.""What?" Laura and Nikolai spoke at the same time.Lucian crossed his arms over his broad chest. "Dante has already left his territory. He's established a war camp at the Gray Mountains border. That's where we're heading."Laura blinked in surprise. "War camp?""Yes." Lucian's gaze shifted to Nikolai. "Your network of spies isn't as good as you think, Vale, if you didn't know this."A muscle twitched in Nikolai's jaw. "When did this happen?""Three days ago," Lucian replied. "After the last major attack. Dante sent word to me. I assumed he contacted you as well."Nikolai's eyes darkened. Laura could almost see his mind working, calculating what this meant."And Zephyr?" Laura asked. "Is he joining this... alliance?""He's been info
