Laura couldn't sleep that night. Her mind raced with thoughts of Zephyr's curse and the strange connection she felt with each Alpha. The moonlight filtered through her window, casting silver shadows across her room.

With a sigh, she slipped from her bed and wrapped a silk robe around herself. Perhaps fresh air would clear her head.

The gardens were silent this late at night. Laura wandered along stone paths, inhaling the sweet scent of night flowers. As she turned a corner, she gasped. Before her stretched a hidden garden filled with flowers she'd never seen before—blooms that only opened under moonlight, their petals a luminous blue-white that seemed to glow.

"Moon lilies," came Nikolai's voice from the shadows. "They only bloom three nights each month."

Laura turned to find him watching her from a stone bench. He wore a simple black shirt, open at the throat, and dark pants. His hair was tousled, as if he'd been running his hands through it.

"They're beautiful," she said, keeping he

    The next morning, Laura woke to sunlight streaming through the windows. The storm had passed, leaving behind a freshly washed world. She stretched in her bed, thoughts of last night's conversation with Nikolai still swirling in her mind.His confession about Elizabeth had changed something between them. The walls he kept so carefully built had cracked, showing her the man beneath the manipulator.A soft knock at her door interrupted her thoughts. A young servant girl entered with a tray of breakfast."Good morning, Miss Laura," she said with a shy smile. "Alpha Nikolai asked me to bring you this.""Thank you..." Laura paused, realizing she didn't know the girl's name."Mila," the servant supplied, setting the tray on a small table by the window. "Alpha Nikolai said you might want to join him in the east garden when you're ready. No rush."Laura nodded, curious about Nikolai's invitation. "I'll be down soon."After Mila left, Laura ate quickly, then dressed in a simple blue dress she f

    "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

    Laura couldn't fall back asleep after Nikolai walked her to her room. Her mind kept going back to the dream—those four wolves standing against a shadow that seemed alive somehow. And that voice, telling her to choose one or lose all.She got up and paced the floor, moonlight streaming through the windows. This wasn't her first dream like this. Back at Dante's territory, she'd dreamed of shadow wolves too. That night after they'd...Heat rushed to her cheeks at the memory and her pussy throbbed with want but she drove it down as she tried to focus.These weren't just dreams. The mark on her skin had been real. She'd seen it glowing with her own eyes before it faded away. Or maybe she had been dreaming.A soft knock at her door made her jump."Still awake?" Nikolai's voice came through the wood.Laura pulled her robe tighter around herself before opening the door. Nikolai stood there, still fully dressed despite the late hour."Can't sleep either?" she asked.His eyes searched her face.

    The ride back to Nikolai's estate was quiet. Laura stared out the carriage window, watching moonlight paint silver streaks across the dark landscape. Her mind was still reeling from everything she'd witnessed at the Silver Paw."You're thinking about him, aren't you?" Nikolai's voice cut through the silence.Laura turned, meeting his gaze in the dim light. "Kieran?""Who else?" Nikolai leaned back, his face half-hidden in shadow. "He's hunting you with a desperation that borders on madness."Laura wrapped her arms around herself, a chill running down her spine despite the warm night. "What I don't understand is why."Nikolai's fingers drummed against his knee, his eyes distant. "Those wolves in the north... the way they're acting isn't natural. Attacking their own packs, moving like they're possessed.""What are you saying?" Laura asked."I'm wondering if the legends are true." Nikolai's voice dropped lower. "If they are truly shadow wolves like we all suspect. Creatures of darkness t

    The next evening, Nikolai knocked on Laura's door just as she finished dressing."I have business in town tonight," he said, his eyes carefully neutral as they met hers. No trace of last night's intensity remained. "I thought you might like to see where real information is gathered."Laura hesitated. After their confrontation in the garden, she hadn't expected him to include her in his affairs."No moon lilies involved?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.The corner of Nikolai's mouth twitched. "Just business."Something in his voice—a new respect, perhaps?—made Laura nod. "Give me five minutes."---The carriage took them to what appeared to be an ordinary tavern in the nearby town. The Silver Paw looked like any other establishment catering to travelers and locals, with weathered wooden doors and the smell of ale and hearty food wafting through the windows."This doesn't seem like your style," Laura commented as Nikolai helped her down from the carriage."Appearances," Nikolai said with
