In the end, Logan had surrendered to Lucas’s logic.

But as he prepared to offer a blood-vow of apology, he knew it had to be absolute. He would not offer a perfunctory sentiment to a wolf of her caliber.

"I see. Regardless, my stomach is howling for sustenance. Let us partake." I kept my eyes fixed on the stone floor, unable to meet his gaze. I couldn't bear to look at the thin, angry gashes on Logan’s brow; they were a constant, stinging reminder of my loss of control the night before.

    Logan’s heavy, dark-furred mantle seemed to swallow my entire frame, leaving only my eyes visible to the world. "It feels peculiar to wear your scent so boldly," I murmured, clutching the thick hide. "It masks the Master's silk completely."Logan guided me toward a low stone bench, his fingers gently freeing my hair from beneath the collar before settling his palm against the small of my back. "Let it be. The moon is setting on this gathering anyway."He then cast a lethal, golden-eyed glare toward Lucas Grant, who was nursing a goblet of mead in the distance.Logan was clearly incensed that Lucas had provided a gown that bared so much of my skin to the eyes of other males. Lucas nearly choked on his drink when he met that Alpha stare.His face flushed as a coughing fit seized him. Lucas couldn't fathom why Logan was radiating such territorial hostility. He had gone to great lengths to ensure I looked like a queen, yet Logan’s silent snarl made him second-guess his very life choices.

    “Lord Grant, the formal pelt is prepared.”Madison’s eyes practically ignited. Even from a distance, the dark shimmer of the silk and the glint of the dragon-glass jewelry screamed of high-caste wealth.“My thanks.” She smoothed her gravy-stained furs, attempting to reclaim her hollow dignity as she stepped toward the servant carrying the gown. Just as her clawed fingers reached out to claim the prize, the attendant stepped laterally, moving past her as if she were a common forest stray.“Move aside, female. You are blocking the path.” Madison’s pupils dilated in shock, her boots stumbling back against the stone floor.With a respectful bow, the servant presented the shimmering bundle to me.Madison’s face turned a violent, bruised purple.What madness is this? I am the one with the ruined finery! Why are they gifting a masterpiece to Brooke? She destroyed my pelt, and yet the House rewards her? The moon has surely gone mad!“This is a mistake. Please, take it back,” I said, my voice

    “Madison!”The old wolf was visibly stunned when he recognized the female calling his name. His face, weathered like ancient bark, cracked into a hungry, wrinkled grin. “Did I not grant you my personal scent-code last time? Why did you not reach out to my den?”As he spoke, his eyes prowled over her frame with a ravenous heat.Seeing her opening, Madison Lawson sauntered to his side and looped her arm through his, pressing close. “Alpha Sherman, forgive me. I intended to howl for you, but I misplaced your token.”In this high-caste circle, no one cared for the stench of a lie.Sherman smiled knowingly, his gnarled hand settling heavy on Madison’s waist. He had scented her ambition from the start. His gaze dropped to her low-cut silks, his pupils dilating with naked lust. “Why do you linger at the threshold?”“My pack-mate was struck with a fever and yielded her invitation to me, but the High Guard here are as stubborn as mules.” Madison pouted, batting her lashes at the old Alpha with

    At nine in the evening, I finally crossed the threshold of the Harbor View Apartment, my fingers stinging from the weight of a heavy supply bag.I had scoured the stalls of several master-weavers in the Citadel, hunting for a tunic that would match Logan’s raw power. But without knowing the span of his shoulders, I had settled on a thick, dark-hide belt.Logan was at the heavy oak table, sweeping away a stack of scrolls as I entered. His brow furrowed as his silver eyes tracked my exhaustion. "What delayed your return, Brooke? The moon is already high."He walked to the cooling stone and retrieved a flagon of chilled cider."I encountered a few briars on the path," I murmured, dropping the bag and collapsing onto the furs of the sofa. "My throat is parched. Pass that here."Logan hesitated, then pressed the cold flagon against my flushed cheek instead of handing it over. He sat beside me, his scent turning protective. "No. Are you in your moon-cycle?""Logan! How... how could you scen

    "Stay where you are, little wolf!" The vault manager lunged forward, cutting off my retreat.The eyes of every shifter in the shop snapped toward me, their pupils dilating with predatory curiosity."Is she a scavenger? A thief?""She carries herself with too much pride for a common looter..."I narrowed my eyes, the confusion in my gut hardening into a cold knot. I hadn't touched a single item I hadn't paid for, and I had passed through that threshold twice already. "Why does the ward howl? Is the magic in the stones fractured?""Miss, have you tucked away a tribute that does not belong to you?" The manager’s smile didn't reach his eyes; it was the look of a wolf evaluating a threat.I tilted my head, my voice as steady as a mountain stream. "No."But the alarm continued its jagged, high-pitched shriek, vibrating against my eardrums.Looking pained, the manager leaned into my personal space, his voice a low growl. "Speak the truth now, or the High Guard will be summoned to strip-searc

    "Fine. What is it you desire?"Logan brushed his lips against the sensitive skin of my throat one last time before finally retreating. With a low, rolling chuckle, he gave me a playful wink. "Track the answer yourself. I can scent the exhaustion in your bones. Go to your furs."He turned on his heel, heading toward his private chambers to shed his work leathers.The following sun, after the guild had dismissed us, I ventured into the Great Bazaar.It was located in the most frantic sector of the Shifter Citadel, where the stone streets hummed with life. A ritual of sorts was taking place in the central plaza; a pack of younglings were performing a hunt-dance on a raised wooden stage while the crowd let out barks of approval and rhythmic clapping.As I pushed into the dense throng, a sudden surge in the crowd nearly knocked me off my paws. Before I could stumble, a powerful hand clamped onto my forearm, steadying me with a firm tug.I spun around to find Noah Bennett offering me a brig
