"Did you spend the weekend in the dungeons? You look like a ghost," Megan commented as she pulled out her stone-carved chair, tearing into a thick slab of dried elk.

"The treaty-project I’m forging is moving at a predator's pace. I had to maintain my post for two consecutive suns," I drawled, letting out a jaw-cracking yawn. I was so drained I felt I might collapse into the moss the next second.

"Did you finish the scrolls?"

Leaning my head on the heavy oak table, I gave a weak nod. "The ink dr

    Logan didn’t let her retreat. He reached out, his fingers locking around my wrist to pull me back into his space."Wait! What is this? We had a pact, did we not?" I gasped, my balance failing as I tumbled once more into the hard heat of his chest.Logan’s lips thinned as he raked his golden eyes across my features. The dim lamp light caught the sharp, dangerous lines of his jaw. In that moment, he looked exactly like a predator who had finally cornered his prize."I am claiming my tribute."Before I could find my breath to argue, his hands were cupping my face, his thumb swiping over my bottom lip before he bit down with a playful, possessive nip.He wore the mask of the distant, brooding failure so well, but beneath it, his hunger was a roaring gale. He was far more lethal than any Alpha I had ever encountered, but in the haze of his scent, I hadn't realized the trap I was in.Logan’s tongue traced the seam of my lips, coaxing them open until the kiss turned deep and consuming. My le

    "Of course, I’m hunting for a real professional!" The woman snarled, her finger stabbing toward the iron-bound exit. "Slink back to the shadows, now!"I took a few steps toward the threshold, but my pride reached its limit. I spun on my heel, my eyes flashing with a cold, predatory light as I pinned the female with a glare. "I will leave this den! But not before you hand over the silver-marks for my labor!""You've fouled my sanctuary with this amateur scrawl. I haven't even demanded blood-tribute for the damage yet. What makes your small mind think I’d pay you for ruining my walls?" the woman snapped, her voice dripping with venom. "If you do not vanish this instant, I’ll howl for the High Guard to drag you to the pits."She snatched up her device, pretending to link with the guards, though her heart was thudding against her ribs in a frantic rhythm.She was drowning in regret. Trading snarls with the Luna of the High Alpha was a dance with death. Great Mother, why did he command me

    Logan cleared his throat, shifting his weight to let me pass. He scratched the back of his neck, a hesitant look in his amber eyes. “Do you require my strength for the morning tasks?”“I require nothing,” I replied, my voice as flat as a frozen tundra. “I am not preparing a kill for you. If your hunger bites, hunt elsewhere.”Hmph! You hold no true heat for me in your blood, yet you’ve been feasting on every sunrise meal I’ve labored over. I am not your pack-servant; do not expect another scrap!I stalked to the cold-box and retrieved two waterfowl eggs. The rendered fat hissed in the iron pan as I cracked them. Shortly after I dusted the yolks with crushed black pepper, a rich, savory aroma filled the kitchen.Logan took a deep breath, his broad shoulders slouching. Without a word of protest, he retreated sulkily to the wash-chamber to cleanse his pelt.He was not a wolf of silver-tongued poetry, so he lacked the pretty words or the shiny tributes to soothe a jagged bond. She still b

    Logan felt a jagged hollow in his chest. How could she strip him of the ancient right to claim her scent with a kiss?He had merely rested his weight against Brooke’s shoulder, offering the heat of his body without crossing the boundaries of her skin.They had shared the pull of the moon countless times before, their spirits entwining in the dark, and she had never bristled like a threatened pup. What has shifted in her blood? He paced the confines of the apartment, unable to decode the riddle of her silence.When Brooke finally emerged from her chamber for the evening meal, a ghost of a smile touched her lips, but it lacked the primal warmth he had come to crave. The distance between them felt like a mountain range, cold and impassable.Later, when the moon was high and the mists rolled in from the jagged coast, he reached for his device and linked with Lucas Grant. The signal pulsed several times before the connection snapped open."I am in the middle of a hunt. Speak your peace—do

    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
