로그인Hart Santino's ordinary life as a museum curator ends when he uncovers an ancient wolf totem that marks him as the fated mate of Cole Haanshil, the most powerful Alpha in existence. But Cole's exiled brother Liam has already claimed Hart through dark magic, igniting a war that might consume all werewolf packs because it's dangerous and forbidden. As Hart discovers he's the key to the ancient prophecy that might break the forbidden and maybe make the war less deadly, he must choose between the safe human world he knows and a dangerous supernatural destiny that could save or exterminate the supernatural world.
더 보기The Council deliberation took three hours, during which Hart sat in a holding cell listening to muffled arguments through stone walls and trying very hard not to think about execution methods.Cole wasn’t allowed in the cell with him because of conflict of interest as Hart’s mate, but through the bond Hart felt his constant presence, a steady anchor of support mixed with barely contained fury at the Council for even considering this.“They’re going to kill me,” Hart said through the bond. “Three allied wolves are dead because of me. That’s not something you just overlook.”“They’re not going to kill you,” Cole said, though Hart felt his uncertainty. “Kade is arguing your case, explaining the circumstances, the fact that you were trying to save lives.”“And the families of the wolves I killed are arguing I’m too dangerous to live,” Hart said. “I can hear them through the walls, Cole. They want justice.”Before Cole could respond, the cell door opened and Magnus entered with an expressi
Hart woke up human again, which was both a relief and deeply concerning because he had no memory of how he’d shifted back or how much time had passed.His body ached everywhere, his hands were covered in dried blood that definitely wasn’t his own, and Cole sat beside him looking like he’d aged ten years in however long Hart had been unconscious.“How many?” Hart asked, his voice raw. “How many did I kill?”Cole’s expression was answer enough before he spoke. “Three allied wolves from Coastal Ridge Pack. You went completely feral, couldn’t distinguish friend from enemy. We had to use five wolves and my Alpha command to subdue you, and even then you kept fighting until you literally passed out from exhaustion.”Hart felt bile rise in his throat. “I killed our own people.”“You were trying to save them and your power overloaded,” Cole said, though his voice carried no judgment, just exhaustion and pain. “The wolves you killed were already dying from silver nitrate exposure. You didn’t mu
Hart was still thirty miles from Veilridge City when Jethro’s phone exploded with emergency alerts from every allied pack territory simultaneously, and the cold dread in his expression told Hart everything before he even spoke.“Operation Silver Dawn just launched,” Jethro said, his voice tight. “Eighteen hours early. Multiple coordinated strikes hitting all twenty-three target territories at once.”Hart’s phone buzzed with incoming reports, and he watched the tactical map light up with red indicators showing active military assaults.River Basin Pack: under attack, heavy casualties reported.Mountain Crest Pack: perimeter breached, requesting immediate backup.Coastal Ridge Pack: evacuating under fire.The list went on, every territory they’d been trying to warn and protect now facing overwhelming military force.“Casualty estimates?” Cole asked, his voice dangerously calm in the way that meant he was barely holding his rage together.“Already at thirty-plus confirmed dead in the fir
Hart stumbled through the darkened facility corridors using the totem’s light to see, his body still burning from the inside but alive in ways that shouldn’t be possible after his heart had stopped.Around him, chaos erupted as the power failure unlocked every cell and security door simultaneously, releasing dozens of detained werewolves and humans into the hallways.“This way!” someone shouted, and Hart recognized one of Kade’s pack members leading a group toward an emergency exit.Hart followed, his legs barely supporting him, and crashed through the exit door into early morning sunlight that hurt his oversensitive eyes.The facility’s parking lot was pure pandemonium, escaped prisoners running in all directions while guards tried to regain control without functioning communication systems or electronic locks.Hart spotted Cole immediately, his mate’s massive black wolf form tearing through security personnel who were stupid enough to get in his way.Their eyes met across the parkin
Hart watched Silimg dodge another of Cole’s attacks with efficiency that spoke to months of preparation, and realized Jethro was right.This wasn’t just a challenge, it was an assassination attempt disguised as legal combat.Silimg went for Cole’s throat, her jaws snapping closed inches from his ju
Cole’s hands clenched into fists. “She’s not getting you, and she’s not getting my pack.”“Then you know what you have to do,” Hart said.The next two days were a blur of preparation. Cole trained constantly, reviewing combat techniques and strategy with Jethro. Hart continued giving blood for Dr.
Hart was in Dr. Vergara’s lab giving his fifth blood donation of the week when Jethro walked in with a document that made his expression look like he’d just watched someone kick a puppy.“We have a serious problem,” Jethro said, handing the document to Cole who’d been sitting with Hart during the p
The emergency Council session happened via video conference that night, with Hart still too weak to sit up properly so Cole propped him against pillows.Every Alpha looked terrified and furious, and Elder Thorne’s replacement, a stern wolf named Magnus Blackwood, wasted no time on pleasantries.“Ma
