I crossed my arms over my chest and sneered. Ever since I was a pup, Richard had always been a coward. He was never harsh toward me himself, but he never stopped his mate from ill-treating me either. He never stood up for me even though he knew Evelyn was heartless.

"That's enough!" I snapped, glaring at the two people begging and crying for mercy. "Do you truly believe attempted rape is a forgivable crime? It’s not a trivial thing to forget. Don’t you think it’s unfair for you to ask such a th

    I crossed my arms over my chest and sneered. Ever since I was a pup, Richard had always been a coward. He was never harsh toward me himself, but he never stopped his mate from ill-treating me either. He never stood up for me even though he knew Evelyn was heartless."That's enough!" I snapped, glaring at the two people begging and crying for mercy. "Do you truly believe attempted rape is a forgivable crime? It’s not a trivial thing to forget. Don’t you think it’s unfair for you to ask such a thing?"I had always tried to carry a spark of gratitude for them. After all, they had adopted me. Even though they were mean, they had put a roof over my head. However, now, I had lost all respect after hearing Richard's words."Please, Brooke. Think of us. You want silver? We’ll give you as much as you want if you don't call the guards." Evelyn said, hitching between her sobs.My anger reached its pinnacle. I was fighting for my self-respect, but they were haggling with me, thinking I would do a

    Evelyn planned to guide the rogue toward the shadow-paths of the Dead-Lands, ensuring the Citadel trackers would never catch her scent as the architect of this cruelty. She had received a jagged mind-link from the brute earlier, confirming Brooke was in his claws. But as the moons climbed and the hours bled away, the silence from the mist grew heavy, leaving Evelyn with a cold, gnawing unease."Steady your heart, Evelyn. The mists merely prolong the kill," she whispered to her own reflection, casually coating her talons in a lacquer as red as fresh blood.Suddenly, a violent crash echoed from the stone vestibule of The Lawson Estate. The heavy reinforced doors groaned on their hinges."What is this insolence? Silence those curs or I will strip your rank by dawn!" Evelyn snarled toward the foyer, her voice a whip-crack of disdain. But her command was met with a whimpering, fractured tone. The servant appeared, smelling of pure terror. "Mistress... Brooke Lawson... she has breached the

    Evelyn Lawson had already calculated the final move: once the deed was done, she would facilitate the rogue’s disappearance into the Unclaimed Wilds. No tracker in the Citadel would ever scent her involvement as the true architect of this cruelty. She had received a mental link from the brute earlier confirming he had secured his prize. Yet, as the moons shifted and hours bled into the night, the silence from the Dead-Lands grew heavy, leaving Evelyn with a cold, gnawing unease."Steady your heart, Evelyn. The mists merely slow the journey," she whispered to her own reflection, casually applying a fresh layer of crimson lacquer to her claws.Suddenly, a violent crash echoed from the stone vestibule of the Lawson Estate. The heavy oak doors groaned on their hinges."What is that insolence? Silence those curs or I will have your status stripped by dawn!" Evelyn snapped toward the foyer, her voice a whip-crack of disdain. But her command was met with a whimpering, fractured tone. The ser

    The plan in Evelyn’s mind was a jagged, cruel thing. She would facilitate the rogue’s escape into the Dead-Lands, and the Citadel would never scent her involvement. She was the shadow behind the silver. Earlier that sun-cycle, she had received a jagged stone-scratch—a message from the brute—confirming he had Brooke in his sights. But as the moons began to shift, the silence from the Barrens became deafening, and a cold prickle of unease crawled up her spine."Patience, Evelyn. The mists take time to swallow a soul," she whispered to her own reflection, dipping her brush into a lacquer as red as fresh kill.Suddenly, a violent crash echoed from the stone vestibule of the Lawson Estate. The heavy oak doors groaned on their hinges."What is that racket? Quiet those curs or I’ll have your status stripped by morning!" Evelyn snapped toward the foyer, her voice a whip-crack of disdain. But her command was met with a whimpering, fractured tone. The servant appeared, trembling so hard her tee

    Logan had physically torn Ruth from the rogue’s transport.She was breathing, though the brute's kick had left a jagged, dark bruise across her ribs. "Great Moon, you're alive! Brooke, I was so afraid I'd lost you to the mists." Ruth’s hands, though trembling, reached out to stroke my hair. When her eyes fell on the violent red welts blooming on my cheeks, she broke into a sob. "How did this darkness find you?"I averted my gaze, biting my lip until I tasted copper. I couldn't bear to tell her she was collateral in my war. My eyes drifted toward Logan. He was surrounded by a dozen sentinels in dark tactical gear, their presence radiating a lethal authority. I reached out and tugged his sleeve, my mind swirling with confusion."Logan... why are you wearing that? And who are these people? They look like they're ready for a blood-feud."Logan was no longer the disheveled male I knew. He was dressed in a high-collared, charcoal-grey tunic of fine wool, tailored to perfection. His black ha

    Logan had quietly covered the blood-debt for the specialized healer to ensure Ruth’s safety.Three weeks later, the scent of antiseptic finally faded as I packed Ruth’s meager belongings and helped her step out from the stone arches of Bayview Medical Center."Ruth, the Harbor View Apartment has plenty of room. Won't you come live within our walls?""Oh, no, little wolf. My bones are made of forest floor and mountain mist. Take me back to the edge of the wilderness. I wouldn't know how to breathe in these towering stone Citadel apartments." Ruth’s smile was weak but genuine. She was simply relieved to see me thriving in a higher caste.I had no choice but to honor her spirit. I hailed a transport at the hospital gates, intending to escort her back to the rustic territory on the periphery of the city.I watched the rugged landscape blur past the window, lost in thought, until the smell of the air changed. The familiar scent of the pine-line was replaced by the stagnant stench of a swam
