"Keep your mouth shut if you only brought garbage terms to my ears, Darius," I snarled, my wolf clawing beneath my skin, demanding to tear through my throat.

I shifted my stance on the velvet couch inside Frostclaw Hollow, my knuckles white where I gripped the phone. The air in my private sanctuary tasted like cold pine and blood-scented fury.

"You think a top-tier artist deal with Lunar Veil Dominion fixes the fact that you threw me to the rogue packs?" My voice dropped into a low, gravelly vi

    Malachi Whitmore snaps the obsidian quill in his hand with a sharp, echoing crack, dark ink splattering across his stone desk as his golden wolf eyes blaze with pure hatred. “If Azel is so capable, why isn’t he trying to rule the entire continent? The arrogant little bastard is blatantly coming after us!”The shattered pieces of the quill clatter onto the floor of the command sanctuary inside the Lunar Veil Dominion. He glares at Cassiel, his chest heaving under his leather battle tunic. “Cassiel, he’s deliberately slapping our pack in the face! He’s turning the Whitmore bloodline into a joke for every Alpha in the northern territories!”Cassiel sits back on the plush leather couch, his expression dark and unreadable as he swirls a cup of black medicinal tea. The news from their scouts had hit them like a physical blow. The other two dominant powers—Star Entertainment under Ronan Nightcrest and Royal Entertainment under A

    “How in the bloody hell did that useless omega pull off a slot in the Bloodmoon Arena trials?” Malachi Whitmore slams his fist onto the ironwood desk inside the command office of the Lunar Veil Dominion, his golden wolf eyes blazing with raw fury. “Did Ezekiel completely lose his mind and let her slip away just to spite our pack? She’s a disgraced rogue with zero bloodline backing. There’s no way in hell she fits his taste!”His head tracker bows low, his hands trembling as he holds out a fresh parchment. “She didn’t go to Ezekiel’s faction, Alpha Malachi. My scouts confirmed she signed direct sanctuary papers with Frostclaw Hollow. It’s the exact same territory unit Gary’s operational vanguard defected to after severing their oaths with us.”Malachi’s breath hitches, his jaw clenching so hard a low growl vibrates through his chest. “Gary’s vanguard? I explicitly ordered Cassiel t

    “Drop the pretense, Ethan,” I say, leaning against the cold stone desk inside Frostclaw Hollow as I slide the investment ledger toward him. “The Northern Frontier production was dead in the water until five minutes ago. Now it belongs to us.”Ethan Clark stares down at the heavy leather folder, his slate-grey wolf’s eyes widening in sheer disbelief. His throat works as he swallows hard, his sharp jaw clenching against the shock. “Are you out of your mind, Azel? That’s Alex’s historical war campaign. Ezekiel’s pack spent three months trying to starve that project out so they could buy the rights for cheap. You’re telling me you just bought out the primary backing?”“I’m telling you Amirah just signed the treasury transfer,” I reply, a dark, predatory smirk tugging at the corner of my lips as my wolf hums with quiet satisfaction beneath my skin. I reach out and pat Amirah Kingsley on the

    “Stopgrowling at me, Cassiel,” I say, tossing the sealed blood-scrolls onto the obsidian table. “The deal with the territory boundaries is done. We signed it, and the Moonkeep’s northern border is officially ours.”Cassiel Whitmore lets out a low, guttural rumble from his chest, his wolf’s eyes flashing a dangerous amber in the dim torchlight of the private alcove inside the Howling Willow. “You rushed into this, Azel. You and Amirah signed off on blood-soil without even letting the Pack Elders review the boundaries first.”“Because if we waited for Elder Alaric or my dearest brother Malachi to approve the lease, Titus—no, Malachi—would have bought the entire clearing right out from under us,” I snap, leaning back against the leather seat. My silk shirt is unbuttoned at the throat, revealing the faint silver outline of my suppressed mark. I don't dress like the pampered omega my birthright dictates. I dress for war. “We have the land. Frostclaw Hollow is mine.”Cassiel grunts, though

    “Ronan Nightcrest didn’t just add fuel to the fire, he dropped a tactical flame-charm right onto their pack-house roof,” I say, leaning over the stone war-table inside Frostclaw Hollow as Amirah hands me the latest updates from the MoonNet Circle.Amirah grins, her hazel eyes glittering in the dim torchlight of our enclave. “The entire territory is talking about it. Malachi tried to claim he was offering you the highest alliance contract in the five territories out of brotherly love, and then Ronan posted the Star-Pack Citadel contract right next to it. Everyone can see Whitmore Moonkeep offered you absolute trash.”I swipe through the glowing projection on my comm-slate, feeling my inner wolf hum with dark, bitter satisfaction. “Zac—Ronan, I mean—loves watching my blood-brothers squirm. He’s been waiting for an excuse to drag Malachi’s name through the mud.”“And Felix Reich didn’t even stop him,” Amirah laughs, resting her hands on her hips. “Felix hates the Whitmore pack’s arroganc

    Ronan’s dark, rumbling laughter echoes over the spell-link, making my inner wolf stir with violent, possessive heat."Azel loves the strategy, too," Ronan says, his deep voice purring through the comm-stone in my hand. "His claws are so sharp when he's calculating a takeover."Felix Reich, sitting across from him in the Star-Pack Citadel, lets out a harsh growl. "Then sign the war-treaty and let him work. I wonder which high-ranking battle-mage caught his eye."It is no secret across the territories that the Whitmore alpha elders tried to muzzle me, expecting me to kneel and surrender my blood-rights.They thought stripping my rank as Lead Enforcer would break my spirit. Instead, I established Frostclaw Hollow. I built my own perimeter, forged my own warding lines, and prepared to tear their authority down stone by stone.A warrior like Ronan Nightcrest—a True Alpha who never bows to any council—was bound to take notice.Ronan's voice drops into a low, smoky rasp. "Are you looking at

    "Azel, lower your mental walls and hand over your private access encryption keys right now. The Lunar Veil Dominion needs full administrative control of your profile before the digital broadcast begins.""You lost that administrative privilege the moment I walked out of the Moonkeep, Malachi.

    "Azel, answer me. Did you truly believe your tracking skills could survive the deep-winter circuit without my scent on your collar?""I survived fourteen cycles of ice and blood before you ever noticed my existence, Ezekiel. I do not require your pack pheromones to navigate a hunting trail.""The r

    "Azel, you cannot simply sever a blood covenant and assume the pack will ignore your rebellion. I was the sentry who lost your scent trail in the eastern borderlands fourteen years ago, and I have carried that guilt through every full moon since. But this reckless defiance is not the answer.""Save

    "Azel, get your collar off the console and answer me." Tavian’s voice hissed through the frequency, sharp enough to cut. "Why did you ignore my mind-link?"Azel didn't blink. He kept his fingers steady, packing his tactical crates. "Because I didn't want to hear your voice, Tavian. It’s really that
